when it rains
The soft grey sky
Drifts to the ground
Brown rivulets
Trickle away
Trickle away
Washing sadness down
Weather vanes
Weep and turn
Weep and turn
Forgetting in the damp and grey
That by and by
The sun will shine
Sun will shine
By and by
The sun will shine.

Breakaway
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

eng11: First Day of Classes [episode 1]
pasok ang prof.. kakagising ko lang mula sa pagkakaidlip... antok parin... hmmm... late kasi yung prof.. describe ko siya sa inyo... manipis at matulis ang kanyang mga kilay.. parang laging galit at laging may iniinspect na kung ano... nakasalamin... hornrimmed na medyo subtle kasi metal ang frame... banat ang buhok na nakatali sa isang mahigpit na pusod.. hmm nai-imagine niyo na siguro.. kung maikukumpara.. para siyang si miss minchin... hehehe....
unang naisip ko.. naku mataray... totoo nga.. pinalabas ang mga hindi pa bayad... dahil ayaw niya raw sa mga sawsaw...
hiniling na isa-isang tumayo sa harap ang bawat isa para iintroduce ang sarili... alphabetical order... siyempre.. ilang saglit lang ang lumipas at ako na kagad ang tinawag...
prof: [pagtayo ko pa lamang] iha, mukha kang napilitan lang na i-take ang subject na ito... did your parents force you to study here..?
jeni: [ngiti lang.. ayaw ko naman gumawa ng first impression na pangit..]
prof: mukha siyang grade school noh...?
jeni: [nararamdaman ko ng uminit ang aking mga pisngi at tenga...]
prof: [to the WHOLE class] mukha lang siyang batang inutusan ng nanay bumili ng suka...
jeni: [what the heck??!!]
jeni: BUT I'M ACTUALLY 17 YEARS OLD..... [nahanap ko narin ang aking boses]
prof: but still.. you look very young...
jeni: hmmm well... I'm maria jennifer f carino.. you can call me jeni... i'm a freshman under the program business administration and accountancy...
prof: so what do you like about literature..?
jeni: i'm more inclined to fantasy novels.. books that make you think in a ver creative or imaginative way.. i prefer books rather than movies based on books... [may nag-react.. Harry Potter daw..] yeh... i like the hp books netter than the movies they make from it...
prof: why..?
jeni: you are free to create your own version of the characters or the story... you give the words their life...
prof: what do you hate about literature..?
jeni: i don't like novels by filipino authors.... filipinos tend to write different depressing versions of the filipino society... it's too dark and sad...
prof: but that's because the Philippines is dark and sad...
jeni: still there could be other things we can write about... i especially dislike f. sionil jose... the mass...
prof: well, you can't force someone to like what you like...
jeni: thank you... [upo na.. whew!] [thinking buti na lang natapos rin]
hindi natapos... may nagrecite.. sumunod sakin... favorite niya ang the mass... emphasis sa "THE MASS"... specially daw... tawa sila lahat at lingon sakin... haaay... kung nakikita ko lang sana ang sarili ko... alam kong namumula na ako....
hindi parin natapos.... sa recitation period... gumagamit ng mga remark yung prof ko ng tulad ng... "just like what 'OUR LITTLE GIRL' [referring to me.. siyempre] said about etc etc blah blah blah..."........ [oh mehn]....
haaaaaay... simula ng interesting na sem... eng 11.....
nanliliit nanaman ako...
