sometimes you can’t make it on your own

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I… that’s alright
We’re the same soul

I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I’m sick of it all
Can you hear me when I Sing,
you’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me

Where are we now?
I’ve got to let you know
A house still doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

by U2. great song isn’t it? haha. oh well. the lines are actually kinda cool. especially the part – “and it’s you when i look at the mirror and it’s you that makes it hard to let go”. though i really don’t know what the line means exactly. but i have a good guess. haha. the meaning is quite dramatic though. but still it’s a good song. haha. go U2!!!

by the way, i’m going camping!!! haha. will be gone for a few days – about 2 to 3 days. be back on sunday afternoon. haha.

requirements

yes. alright! at last, i’ve completed all the enrollment requirements. wahahahaha.

got my picture taken this morning. haha. as usual, the school requires a lot of ID pictures – 12 1×1’s, 8 2×2’s, 4 1.5×1.5’s. haha. that’s quite a lot of id pics. haha. and to think i paid P300 for those pics. oh well.

after that, i bought these so-called “long window envelopes”. haha. at first, i thought they were thes transparent envelopes similar to the size of short or long brown envelopes. but when i asked the lady in the store, i can’t help but feel stupid. haha. i then remembered that the long window envelopes were those envelopes used for mail. haha. silly me. haha.

since the pictures needed almost an hour to be finished, i tried to kill time by going to an intenet shop. when i entered the internet cafe, @#$%! what the? haha. oh well. i guess you know what i mean. so i just went out and went straight to McDonald’s! haha. french fries. you know what’s weird? when i was in first year, i used to eat about 5 large fries. haha. but as the years passed by, my appetite for french fries continuosly decreased. haha.

after eating, went to the studio and got my pictures. hooray! haha.

oh wait! i just remembered… NOTARIZE! what the? i forgot. oh well. maybe tomorrow i guess. felt lazy all of the sudden. haha…xp
