Invisible Man

Invisible Man is the first single from the album 98 Degrees. This song was released when I was a sophomore in High School way back in 1997. 98 Degrees is not the typical good looking boy band who could sing and dance gracefully but it's their melody and harmony that caught my attention big time. I don't even know the member's names but I Googled it: Nick Lachey [Jessica Simpson's ex-husband], Jeff Timmons, Drew Lachey [Nick's brother], and Justin Jeffre. Needless to say, this is my favorite song because of the lyrics content and how it was simply delivered. Here's the lyrics and the video below. Enjoy!

Invisible Man by 98 Degrees

You can hardly wait to tell all your friends
How his kisses taste sweet like wine
And how he always makes your heart skip a beat
Everytime he walks by

And if you're feeling down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close when you're making love
He's everything you been dreaming of, oh baby

Chorus:

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes looking deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby, to you all I am is the invisible man
Oh, you don't see me baby

You probably spend hours on the phone
Talking 'bout nothing at all
It doesn't matter what the conversation
Just as long as he calls

Lost in a love so real, and so sincere
And you'll wipe away other's tears
Your face lights up whenever he appears

Chorus

I see you all the time baby
Huh, the way you look at him
I wish it was me, sweetheart
Boy, I wish it was me
But I guess...

Chorus

I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes looking deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby, to you all I am is the invisible man
Oh, you don't see me baby

Oh, oh, oh, oh baby
The invisible man
You don't see me girl
But I love you
Yes, I love you
The invisible man
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
The invisible man
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
The invisible man

Memories to reminisce and piece of advices I've learned from 2010

> How I wish I could still express my love to my father who died last January. Sana natuto akong magpatawad agad at sana hinde ako masyadong galit sa mundo. Unang entry, drama.. Sorry.

> Masarap kumain ng lugaw at bulalo sa Tagaytay ng 2 am basta't kasama ang mga kaibigan. Mas lalo na kung kasama ang jowa.

> If you're undecided on 2 options available, stop asking for His signs; di ba nga may free will tayo kaya gamitin natin. It will never be your destiny; it's always your personal choice. Tumbling!

> Homemade beauty regimens are good and inexpensive; you could even smell like freshly baked macaroni if you will use it the right way [try mixing the Zen Zest oil]. I already tried egg white as facial mask, olive oil and brown sugar as diamond peel alternative, oatmeal to absorb my oily skin and calamansi as my whitener.

> After 11 years eh nagkaroon ng reunion ang mga batch 1999 ng St. Joseph's College QC Afternoon Shift High School Department last March at ang "Repeat" nung September 2010.

> People like I've known for a lifetime can be so cold hearted and can screw me just because of "money" so learned to trust sparingly guys. Friends who never return your P10 change, hardly contribute from taxi's group fare and always present on free treats only, are just the usual signs not just being a "kuripot" persona but should never be trusted with your money.

> Words and action must always act at the same time. As words define the action and action concretize words.

> Ang makasaysayang kasal nina Sup Ma-an at Sir John sa Baguio last May 18, 2010 at ang Coron, Palawan getaway nung November 20-22, 2010 kasama ang Transition Team.

> I learned to love my job. Yes, we had this reshuffle and movement but I'm still connected with the same company. There may be power trippers; people you wished to vanish in thin air and the feeling TL in the office still the salary support my needs and of course my wants and gimmicks.

> Ang sagot sa pagiging homesick kapag ako ay nag iisa sa munti kong unit eh sulyap sa pictures ng pamilya ko o silip sa kanilang profile sa Facebook, solved na ako.

> I learned how to Facebrag; using Facebook site to brag. Aminin natin ito. Eto mga samples pa nga ng iba eh: Nawala mo ang lumang iphone mo at pinalitan mo ng BB.. Nakabili ka ng latest gadget ng MACBook, Canon's DSLR o kahit ng mahal na Nokia units.. Nakapanood ka ba ng concert ni foreign artist na si ganyan at si ganito? O kaya naman nakarating ka sa Coron, HK o US? O kaya naman eh magjigym ka sa Fitness First o Gold's Gym man. Updates that the public doesn't really need to know but we still opted to as FYI sa Shout out status natin.

> Avoid using eerie code names sa potential relationship, pag nagbreak kayo iiwasan mo sia. Samples: Cheesecake, Honey at pati na rin Baby. Hahaha!

> Last year, bigla kong naisip na gumawa ng baby kaya nag girlfriend ako, nga lang 3 months lang kame nagtagal. Wala eh, baka baog kame pareho.. Tumbling!

> Walang mangyayari kung palagi kang "nega". Face the fear inside so that it will not control and conquer you. There are times that you really need to take your chance. Chance to bet din sa LOTTO, tulad nung naexcite ako sa 741M kahit hinde ako tumataya..

> Patience is always a virtue. Wishes still do come true. Learn to wait, wait for love. Ayan napala ko kakamadali, single na naman.

> Ang laki ng epekto ng "Jejemon" kahit karamihan eh nabuburaot sa kanila at sa pelikulang "Inception" sa atin. Aminin din na ung iba eh nakiride on lang kahit hinde naintindihan ung movie. Hahaha!

> Ever infamous PCOS machine. We recently had an automated election. Buti na lang si PNOY ang nanalong Presidente kahit si Teodoro talaga ang binoto ko.

> If you are a hard core pervert eh makukulong ka. May kaibigan akong nakulong dahil ma-el talaga eh.

> I can't live without a social site. Nung nadisable ang account ko last September sabi ko hinde na ako gagawa ng account. I thought lilipas din ang Facebook mania tulad ng Friendster pero mukhang hinde eh.. Kaya ayan 1,000+ FB mates and counting. ;-p

> Hinde masamang magpatangay sa agos ng buhay, pero dapat alam mo kung kelan ka lalangoy sa sarili mong direksyon. Ang lalim noh? Pero totoo yan. Ayaw ko ng magbigay pa ng sample naiiyak na ako eh..

> Not to put lotion on before lifting weights. Sakit kaya mabagsakan ng dumbbells sa paa.

> Kapag nabasa sa text o sinabi personally na “I don’t love you” that explains it all. No need to ask for further explanation. Lalo ka lang masasaktan at magmumukhang kawawa.

> Natikman ko ang baklava dessert at masarap pala sia. Natawa ka? Ako rin eh..

> You can never be too sure of the outcome at the office. Just wait and be contented with the result. Madalas sa hinde nakakalimutan mag thank you ng iba kahit ilang araw kang nagpuyat sa isang project o kaya naman ang ineexpect mong P300 GC eh 1K pala. Eh di sumaya pa tuloy ako sa huli kasi hinde ako nag expect masyado.

> Ang English ng bonggang bongga eh "Major Major". Salamat kay Maria Venus Raj na naging 4th Runner up sa Miss Universe 2010.

> Strong finish is better than a hot start. At least dito makikita yung improvement at changes sa una. Mas naaappreciate kasi ng tao ang magandang outcome kahit palpak o walang gana sa umpisa. Hinde ito sex ah? ;-p

> Natuto akong gumamit ng mineral water pampaligo ng magkaroon ng water crisis. Parang kalawang kasi ng dalawang araw ang lumalabas sa shower.
> Promises are not contracts. Naku, hinde pa rin ako natuto-tuto rito. Ganun talaga mabait ako eh, charge na naman sa experiences.

> Hinde lahat ng maganda/macho, sexy at matalino eh hinde mahirap kunin, basta alam mo kung paano mo sila patatawanin. Pansinin mo naman ang mga komedyante, kay gaganda at ka gagwapo ng mga jowa. Personal experiences ko? Wag na lang maoverwhelm ka pa. Hmmm..

> Learn to be comfortable with your own skin. Sabi ko kasi this year, gusto kong pumuti kaya mag gu glutathione na ako. Sa awa ng Diyos, ni isang tablet/capsule eh hinde ako nakainom but still hinde pa rin naman ganun kapanget ang kutis ko. May nabubulag pa rin; hinde pa ako napagastos. LOL!

> We always think that we can surpass all the problems, but there are things that are meant to happen because it's beyond our control. Let it be. Acceptance is the key that no matter what we try, there are outcomes that it will never turn out the way we want them to be. Most important is, frustration's healing will come naturally.

> Happiness is a form of courage. It's from within. And it's a state of mind. Ano pa ba? Wala na akong maidagdag..

> Click sa akin ang green jokes na may salitang mapeperfect, matitigok at sasakal sakalin. Wag kang slow jan..

> Beyond happiness and unhappiness, there is peace.

> Pain gives you time: Time to realize, that you are a fighter/survivor and time to find your true happiness. How I wish Lauro Vizconde will get the justice, tae talaga. Moro-moro na lang ang hustisya sa atin. Sarap kumain ng balimbing..

> Learn to be more open to possibilities, like to lose and fail. Wag lang gawing hobby. At shempre pati na rin ang mabigo sa pag ibig. But still, be open to try and love again.

> Not all of the events in the office are competition. Nag Champion kame sa Outdoor Sportsfest, Amazing Race sa Canyon Cove, sa Volleyball Tournament [2nd MVP award ko ngayong taon kahit aminado akong hinde ako ang pinakamagaling], Talent Show [ako si Nick Garter ng BSB] Some of the peeps just want to have some fun. O baka nga pinagbibigyan lang ako/kame.

> Fad pa rin ang dental braces. Kahit sa mga taong hinde binabagayan nito. Joke! Minsan ung iba eh 4 to 5 years nang nakalagay at naninilaw na. Pwede? Tanggalin na..

> Not to give up in love kaya sinong gustong makipagdate jan? Madali naman akong kausap. Hahaha!
