Let's see what this love can do

Have been experiencing a lot of new things lately. Scary at first, as always. Good thing I've got a big support system that help me get through everything even after a long, tiring, day. There's this one person though that I forget to thank all the time. It's you Bub. Everytime I'm so exhausted from school and Tyler, I demand a lot of things from you, even if I know for myself that some of the things I ask are too impossible to do. I'm so sorry. I've been too selfish and yet, without fail, you try your best to give me everything I want and need. I love you, i really do.

With you, I feel like I've got everything I need. Thank God I chose the right person. Thank God you chose me.

It's official, I'm OLDer!

First Stage: Denial Stage
Was watching MYX Backtrax last night while waiting for Anji. Obviously, from the name itself, MYX Backtrax shows old MTVs, hits of those un/forgotten artists. First song of the show: N'Sync's Drive Myself Crazy. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?! N'Sync happened to be one of my favorite artists way back in High School. Okay fine, Grade School. I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it! How could that song be part of Backtrax already?! I know it's been years since that song became a hit, but come on, why couldn't they play Beauty and Madness instead? Now that song is perfect for Backtrax, right?

Second Stage: Hurting Stage
Second song of the show: Hansons' Mmmbop. I was officially offended. If we were to make a compilation of songs for my (very young) generation, Mmmbop would surely be part of the list. Even if it was fun seeing young Taylor and young Zac (sorry Isaac) again, it was still a bit humiliating, like putting my Grade School pictures in the MTV. Can't even imagine how I will react when I'm going through menopause already. Good luck.

Third Stage: Acceptance Stage
Next song: Moffats' I'll Be There For You. When I saw that video, I finally convinced myself to acknowlege the fact that these videos are here because they are indeed videos of the (near) past. The sooner I accept the idea, the sooner I'll get over it. Besides, I couldn't think of anything better to do while waiting than to watch MTVs that i used to love.

Fourth Stage: Tolerance Stage
98 Degrees' It's All Because of You and LFO's Summergirls. Alas, after 3 videos, I finally had the "courage" to sing with the songs, MY songs. Wise decision, actually. I screamed my lungs out as if it wasn't midnight yet. It was a great feeling, like transporting myself back to the colorful world of the 90's. I felt like a kid once again.


Try looking back once in awhile. It's not that bad.
