the only exception

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

Bazinga! (an original song)

okay so i wanted to post this video for two things: (1) the song is absolutely awesome and LSS-worthy; and (2) the girl is soooooooo cute!

if you don't know what or from where this BAZINGA term came from, click here. Or watch The Big Bang Theory.

big game james

i really feel sorry for James Yap. i don't think a lot of people, save for the basketball fanatics, appreciate just how good a player this guy is. to most Filipinos he's just the husband of Kris Aquino who happens to play basketball.

back when i was in high school, it was his type of play that initially drew me to watch the UAAP.

the first live collegiate game i ever saw was a UE game. it was held at the blue eagle gym, and it was the dynamic duo of James Yap and Paul Artadi that powered the Red Warriors to win over whoever they were against. i remember sitting near the court, and was just amazed at how good this guy can shoot. he was MVP of that season, by the way.

tonight, while watching the PBA finals between Purefoods (where yap and artadi play) and Alaska (where former blue eagles LA Tenorio and Larry Fonacier play), i found myself in awe once again at the skills of "Big Game" James. if you look at him move through the screens, watch him work the play, get the ball, dribble, skip, crossover, jump, take a hit, then bank the one-hander in. and one.

deeeym this guy is good.

it really is rare for me to sing praises about a local basketball player, but James Yap deserves this rare mention. and as i publish this article, Purefoods will win the first game of the finals with Yap as their biggest contributor.
