Same old story back again
she's not a lover she's just a friend
I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me
now you think it's funny
now you wanna spend your money on girls
but you forgot when you were down
that I was around

call my lover,
hang up, call again
what in the world is happening
listen in, but don't yell at me
isn't it ironic
all you wanna do is smoke chronic
boy, you forgot when you were down
who was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believing you
wish you'd bring back the man I knew
was good to me, oh lord

everytime you say you're coming
boy, you disappoint me, honey
how well you forgot when you were down
and I was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

one of these days, it's gonna happen to you
missing a love like I'm missing you,
babe yeah yeah
one of these days, when your dreams come true
that's the one that's gonna do it to you
oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore


"Wish I didn't miss you" -Angie Stone -

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears
When you'd scream I fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face, it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All of the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I wiped away all of your tears
When you'd scream I fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried
I wiped away all of your tears
When you'd scream I fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All....Of....Me



Evanescence - "My Immortal"

Well, those who know me are probably aware that my personal circumstances have been a bit depressing recently, to say the least. It has been difficult to access my creative side, and even writing this blog seemed a mammoth task. But here are a couple of pics of some happier moments during the last couple of weeks...

Saturday night in Manila - a nice meal at Italianni's.

Big congratulations to our friend Cher on her engagement to Henrik.

Beautiful Sunset in Malay

Sadly our dear little cat Taco was savaged and killed yesterday by the vicious monster dogs from Sundown Restaurant. He didn't stand a chance.

Freaky Food!

.

This bizarre looking critter is known as a coconut crab, and can occasionally be found on sale by a beach vendor. Always keen to try new foods (such as locusts, balut, monitor lizard, rabbit, goat etc), I couldn't resist giving it a go...

The crab turns from black to a reddish colour after cooking, and the meat is mostly in the claws. Despite the tail looking plump and promising like a lobster's tail, there was only goey brown gunk inside!

Party Time!

August 1st saw the three year anniversary of Red Pirates Pub, though we actually celebrated the event a couple of days later with a small BBQ party. Can't believe we've managed to hang in there that long. Those who know us will have heard about the various obstacles we have struggled with over the last couple of years (including typhoons, break-ins and an attempted take-over) , so here's hoping that next season will be a little less stressful... and thanks to all our friends for sticking by us, Pirate Style!
