Lucky to be Coming Home Again (?)

Another reason why i super dooper love Jason Mraz

Do you hear me?

Talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you I will

I'm Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Oohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh
Oohhhohhhohhhohhohhoohohhohhohh

Broken Strings

A song that's been ringing in my head for days...
First three lines pa lang, tumbling na...

Let me hold you for the last time

It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything

When I love you and so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking it's the voice of someone else

Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?

Oh, what are we doing?
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late, too late

Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late, too late

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

Minsan mas tamang bumitaw kapag alam mo na hindi ka pinapahalagahan. Malay mo sa pagbitaw mo, mahulog ka sa tamang pwesto at masalo ng tamang tao.

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.

Courage doesn’t always roar…sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of each day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”

inaugural speech

excerpts from the inaugural speech of President-elect Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino, III

• Marami na sa atin ang bumoto gamit ang kanilang paa - nilisan na nila ang ating bansa sa kanilang paghahanap ng pagbabago at katahimikan. Tiniis nila ang hirap, sinugod ang panganib sa ibang bansa dahil doon may pag-asa kahit kaunti na dito sa atin ay hindi nila nakikita.
• Ito naman po ang umpisa ng kalbaryo ko, ngunit kung marami tayong magpapasan ng krus ay kakayanin natin ito, gaano man kabigat.
• Mula ngayon, hindi na puwede ang "puwede na" pagdating sa mga kalye, tulay at gusali dahil magiging responsibilidad ng mga kontratista ang panatilihing nasa mabuting kalagayan ang mga proyekto nila.
• Layunin nating paramihin ang trabaho dito sa ating bansa upang hindi na kailanganin ang mangibang-bansa para makahanap lamang ng trabaho. Ngunit habang ito ay hindi pa natin naaabot, inaatasan ko ang mga kawani ng DFA, POEA at ng OWWA at iba pang mga kinauukulang ahensiya na mas lalo pang paigtingin ang pagtugon sa mga hinaing at pangangailangan ng ating mga overseas Filipino workers.
• Inaanyayahan ko kayo ngayon na manumpa sa ating mga sarili, sa sambayanan, WALANG MAIIWAN.

effort

Effort is the essence of any relationship - friendly or otherwise.


This is not to say that two people make an equal effort with each other all throughout their relationship.
There is always give and take.

However, when one has to constantly work on making the effort or they have to be reminded time and again to make the effort that’s when it becomes forced, which should not be the case.

Until it doesn’t come to you naturally to make the effort towards something or someone think of it as a sign reminding you that may be it’s not meant to be or not worth the effort you may be divesting into it.

Random  but meaningful messages

You are a work in progress, God's masterpiece waiting to be finished...

True humility seeks the heart of Jesus always, all days.

I have anointed you with my blessing, tell the peoples about my love.  I will be with you wherever you may go and I will let them  see Me in you.

Tell her, tell her I can see her heart.  And tell her, I love her.

Be grateful in everything, e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.

Know when to seek the answers...And seek it from  Him and Him alone.

I thank you, my child for doing the mission, for saying to this mission for Me.  I love you, my child.

 God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom  to know it's me. (from  Gina Babes)

was thinking:
when did these people realized that they were being 'used by God already?
how did they allow themselves to be 'used' by God, then?
how would we know then if we can tap these people already or wait for some time?

alin ka...

one of (or probably the saddest) saddest lines i have encountered...
didn't think it would come from  her

but I believe,
this, too, shall pass.
and in His perfect time,
He will heal the wounds,
He will renew her strength,
He will let her find peace anew.

My Best Cess

i haven't visited u...
quite busy...

but i super don't want to forget this day...
had a chat with my best.

Lord God, I know she deserves the best and nothing but the best.
Please touch her heart that she will not settle for anyhting less.
Amen.

You're always and forever will be in my prayers.
Loveloveyou my Best!

so much blessings

When you are overwhelmed with so much blessings from God, you can't help it but return the favor by serving and loving others unconditionally beyond all your strength and might... - from  Rey's wall post

an answer that I needed.
right timing...perfect timing!

What does He require?

1.  it was never a 'technical' requirement.
     it is and will always be a commitment, not a requirement.

2.  and logically... the use of 'technically' is 'illogical'
     wrong premise. wrong premise.

3.  you meet the 'commitment' aspect first, before you get the right output
     you don't 'fix' the ins and outs for your convenience so you can 'meet' the 'requirements'


Thank You, Lord for allowing me to be Your mouthpiece.
Thank You, Lord for the grace to speak of Your love.
Love You po.

Girl, Interrupted

Girl, Interrupted

On my way to my Upper HH, decided to park in a nearby sandy parking area.
Found a spot, still ealry kasi.

Uwian na.
Walked and waded through the sand to get to my parkign spot.
Sakay na the passengers.
Dyaran!
We realized the car was trapped.
As in we were inside a box of cars...no way out!
We tried calling the phone numbers posted on several cars dashboards...

I decided to sleepover at my friend's house and hope against hope that tomorrow morning, someone will be leaving the parking area early and i'll have a way out.
Woke up to the sound of my alarm..
I thought it was the snooze button.
I overslept.
Whoah!  It's a few minutes before 6AM.
Walked towards the parking area.
Huhuhuuhu...Still no way out.

This is an interruption.
Bask in the interruption.
I simply stood there and prayed.
Lord, calm  me.
Calm  my senses, calm my spirit.
Tried calling another driver; he agreed to come in 15 minutes (in Dubai that's equivalent to half an hour)
Informed my passengers about my ordeal and suggested they take the RTA Bus.

Back to the car.
Prayed and prayed.
Enjoyed the silence of the early morn.
Then I saw a 'kabayan' approaching with a car key in his hand...
He started the engine of a van...YEHEY!!!
I trooped to starting my car as fast as I could and drove to his spot...
I requested him  if  I can pass by (because it seemed like he wasn't ina  hirry and he's still 'heating up' his van)

Yey! Back on track though a lil' bit late...
Plus, I wasn't stressed.  I simply enjoyed the interruption.

Thank You, Lord for holding my heart with Your loving hands.
May I always see You in every scenario, whether fortunate or the seemingly unfortunate. 

new meaning

absurd.
technically.
logically.

3 old words.
now with a new meaning....

let it out!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
i so love my blogspot...thanks for the gift of my blogspot, Lord...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

wasted time

Bo Sanchez said, “Waste” time with your loved ones.

I just did.

13 minuites and 29 seconds of it...

Simply missin' you...

Somebody for someone

Are you a somebody or a someone? A somebody is one who does this and who does that, and goes about doing all sorts of work and functions. A someone, on the other hand, is one who may not be functional but is a presence. A somebody is one who gets things and people moving, while a someone is one who moves the heart.
-Moments, Fr. Jerry Orbos

Am  afraid I'm  becoming a 'somebody' more than a 'someone'
Keep me grounded in/on Your words, Oh Father God.
