Every Now and Then

Yup! It’s another start of the work week and I’m still at home. WAG is banned for coding on a Monday and I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, breeze through my morning rituals and be along EDSA by around 6:30. I usually arrive a little after 7 every Monday but today, my sched has pretty gone haywire because I unconsciously ignored my alarm and woke up at 6:30. Instead of beating the time and risking another MMDA encounter, I decided to text my bosses and be on emergency half day. I know it’s kindda lame to waste a good emergency leave but it’s not all the time that I skip my Monday mornings (unlike some people I know). Let’s just put it this way, today is a half day reward for a job well done in June….

Since I came to work during lunch, I was set to work the entire afternoon until late tonight. Coincidentally, my sister was having her first Accounting long test until 9 and I was asked to pick her up. When I was on my way, she requested for Comfort Food! We usually resort to this after something draining (in all aspects of life). Yeah yeah, I know that it’s a bad thing… given that life is full of draining things... well, I’ve got that as an excuse for… (not a weight entry again!!!) Oh well, it has been a while since my sister and I did some bonding. We used to go out on sister-dates but with our own busy schedules and our own love lives to handle, we’ve got less time for each other. So, we went. We just had some chit chat over dinner. She’s 10 years younger than I but she has always been mature for her age and that made talking to her very sensible. Thanks sis for the wonderful talks! We should do our bonding time more often.

EVERY NOW AND THEN
Earth, wind and fire

I think that the worst is through
I’m almost over you
I guess it was just a matter of time
Oh yeah
I started going out
For how can anybody go without?
Before you start moving out of your mind
Deep inside, I confess
There are times when my heart rules over my head

Every now and then
I find myself
Wond’ring about you babe
Seems I can’t forget
I can’t escape the thought of all that might have been
Every now and then

Morning’s the hardest time
I wake up dreaming bout you and I
Some days I can’t remember them all
Oh yeah
Evenings are painful still
I can’t help wondering if they always will be
How can I throw our secrets emptiness babe
I don’t mind every night
Just the times when I feel like I feel tonight yeah..

Every now and then
I find myself
Wond’ring about you babe
Seems I can’t forget
I can’t escape the thought of all that might have been
Every now and then

When I’m alone
Any time I hear music playing
And when I reach for the phone
Why does everything good make me think of you babe?
Babe… so... yeah, yeah


Here’s to someone I know who’s been thinking if it’s too late. It’s not too late yet… so just talk to her if you need to. She might be wanting to talk to you too. I guess, not really to talk about the what might have been but to finally accept the reality that it can’t be. Both of you are already happy. She knows she is and you… well, you’re probably doing the right thing but, that is not the issue. TALK. Talking it out has always worked between the two of you so do. If you won’t do it now, it’s always going to be “every now and then” and trust me, life wouldn’t be peachy…
