Imaginary Friend

this was a hit song during my 5th grade. it was also a favorite song of mine back then and when we had a project in MAPE to interpret a song through drawing in 1/4 illustration board, i chose this one. i also got the idea of my interpretation on a commercial campaign about garbage of a local tv network. Also, my teacher declared it as the best interpretation in our class (too much for originality, huh).

little did I know that I would be singing the same song years later. I actually sang this song in the videooke last new year in a relative’s home. I thought that it was indeed very timely because i was close to turning 25 at that time. And recently, I’ve been feeling to sing the same song again in assessment of over 25 years of my life. I’ve always thought that at this age I could be something. I guess I was wrong because up until now I’m still yearning for something more and important to happen in my life. Sadly, I am not still too close in getting it. That’s why here it goes again…

25 years of my life and still
I’m trying to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
for whatever that means
‘n so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
just to get it all out what’s in my head
‘n I, I’m feeling a little peculiar
‘n so I wake in the morning and I step outside
‘n I take a deep breath
‘n I get real high
‘n I scream from the top of my lungs
what’s goin’ on
and I say hey-ey-ey…
and I said hey what’s going on
and I say hey…
I said hey what’s going on
and I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
in this institution
and I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray ev’ry single day
for a revolution
25 years of my life and still
I’m trying to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination

The first time I thought of this new blog name was when I was still working in a law office. It was during those times that I literally needed a friend and there was no one to turn to, or should I say nobody worthwhile at all. And besides, my schedule was so hectic back then and I basically had no time to spare to this idea. Not even during my lunchbreaks because I was always on call. But I felt the need for a breathing space that’s why this idea continue to linger in my mind. Eventually, I resigned from that office and this so called need had not materialized ’til now. So this is it and I am somehow glad that I managed to start this one. This is dedicated to all my closest friends in the world!!! mwahh!!!
