My Tatay

Me and My Tatay

Happy, happy birthday to my sweet and gwapong-gwapong tatay!

Thank You, jesus for adding another year to my tatay's life.

May you bless Him with good health and more years to spend with us...

fan

Just now, I noticed, I'm on a 'I-am-a-fan' mode.
Last week, I wrote an email to The CompanY
And today, I sent an email to Fr. Orbos...

It's this certain happiness inside of me that I so wanted them to know they brigthened up my day, or days for that matter. And I didn't want to just let it pass.

I just hope I stay sensitive enough to other people who brightens up my day/s, too, and would take time to return the favor. 
Bless my heart, Jesus; please fill it with happiness overflowing that I may share You with others.

I just remembered...
I sent an SMS to Kris Fade of the radio show of the same name yesterday.
Fan mode, indeed!

Loving Conversations

scary. it's so uncertain. I'm such a worrier.
Will it be a 'good' year?
-Me

Anak, in the years that has passed,
never have I forsaken you.
I have never left you; ever.
I have stayed by your side.
What proof do you need?
Trust in me.
Believe that I will never leave you.
I will be here, my child.
-God

Can there be a new me? i'm so bugged with the 'hopeless case' scenario, Lord.
- Me

It's a new year. A perfect time for a new start; a new you.
Change your ways. You can do better.You can be better.
You will be better.
- God


Uhmmm...Lord, it seems like...our thanksgiving a while ago was too short...
Now we're on our supplication...prang ang haba po yata...daming requests...
-Me

I love to hear  your thanksgiving.  I like it when you pray your supplication.
Do you understand what I mean?
I LOVE the experience of you talking to me.
Just talk to me. About anything. About everything.
-God

I fought...and won! Praise be to Jesus!

I'm writing because I want to remember this day.
I fought...and I won...

Lord, I offer to you my (our) victories.
May you touch my heart to be humble and always seek You when tempted to be swayed.
May I always scoop victories upon victories in Your Name.

Sarap ng feeling po...
Salamat po.
Loveyou, Lord.

Great God, please bless our country, Philippines. May your concept of truth and justice reign in this process of law.  May your love prevail in the proceedings.  Touch the hearts of both the prosecution and defense to consider first and foremost the people, our country...and its betterment; rather than their personal agenda.
Amen.

Sana Di Puro Lang Sana

(was inspired by Rhonz' FB post kaya i searched for the lyrics)

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Heto na naman ako iniisip ka
Masaya ka rin ba na tayo ay nagkakilala
Kumusta ka na kaya?
Sana’y ikaw rin pirmi ang pag-ngiti
Sa mga alaalang atin

[Chorus]
Sana di lang puro sana
Sana magkatotoo
Sana kahit minsan di ako mabibigo
Sana di lang puro sana ang bukambibig
Sana di lang puro sana ang ating pag-ibig

La la la la la la la

Alam mo ba, mahal, lagi kitang iniisip
Parang tuwing gising na lang ako nananaginip
Alam mo ba, sinta, tuwing kausap ka
Ang bulong ko sa sarili ko’y pananampalataya

(Repeat Chorus)

Panaginip habang gising
Sana marating ko rin

Sana di lang puro sana
Sana magkatotoo
sana di lang puro sana ang pag-ibig mo

Sana di lang puro sana ang bukambibig
Sana di lang puro sana ang ating pag-ibig

(Repeat Chorus)
(Sana, sana, sana ’til fade)

apologies

Praise God for breaking our Spirits so we can seek wholeness in Him and only in Him.

Was hurt again...
But I chose to write it down only now when the pain has subsided...

I firmly believe...
friends may think you're a hopeless case...
But have faith...
Jesus isn't giving up on you,
why should you give up on yourself?!

I Set Fire to the Rain

This lyric's long overdue...can't find the time to search for it...
Finally....I set fire to the rain! :D


I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell, you rose to claim it,
It was dark and I was over,
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak,
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet,

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,

Chorus:
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried,
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,


When laying with you I could stay there,
Close my eyes, feel you here forever,
You and me together, nothing is better,

'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,

Chorus:
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried,


'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames,
Well, I felt something die,
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you,
Even now, when we're already over,
I can't help myself from looking for you,

Chorus:
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touch your face,
Well, it burned while I cried,
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name


I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames,
Well, I felt something die,
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh,

Oh, no,
Let it burn, oh,
Let it burn,
Let it burn.

I love you like a love song...

I'm loving Selena... :D


It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with best we own
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A center full of miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin' re-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin' re-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat

Cursing me, boy you play through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are...and I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin' re-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin' re-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat

No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin' re-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

I love you...like a love song...

Somebody I used to know

It's been one of my LSS these past few weeks...



Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
*And to know we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
*And to know we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody...

Mall Tour

Pasahero   :   (naalimpungatan) Malapit na ba tayo sa Mazaya (Center)?

Driver        :   Malayo pa. Tapat pa lang tayo ng Ibn Battuta, eh.

Pasahero   :   Saan ba yung Mazaya? Nakalimutan ko na kung saan yun, eh.  Pupunta kasi ako dun, eh.

Driver        :   Nasa tapat halos ng Dubai Mall. Shiek Zayed.

Pasahero   :   Sige, pakibaba na lang ako sa MOE (Mall of the Emirates)

Driver + Other Pasaheros :   Huh?! Hahahahaha!

Blue is glue and red is dead!

I just realized nag-career na naman pala ako ng movies...from twilight to New Year's Eve...
And just now I noticed, all these four are not 'originals'

Breaking Dawn is a sequel of Twilight
Ghost Protocol is an installment of Mission Impossible series
My Week with Marilyn is from a documentary (almost original)
New Year's Eve is original but has almost the same twists and turns as Valentine's Day (same peeps behind, eh)

Anyway...I just want to remember them also because of their famous lines. (Sometimes, I imagine myself bringing a pen and paper with me in the cinema jotting down notes.) *credits to IMDb


Breaking Dawn

Charlie Swan: You're ready?
Bella Swan: Yeah. Just don't let me fall, Dad.
Charlie Swan: Never.

- - -

Edward Cullen: No measure of time with you will be long enough. But we'll start with forever.



Ghost Protocol

Benji Dunn: Blue is glue and red is dead!


My Week with Marilyn

Marilyn Monroe: People always see Marilyn Monroe. As soon as they realize I'm not her, they run.


- - -

Lucy: Did she break your heart?
Colin Clark: A little.
Lucy: Good, it needed breaking.

- - -

Marilyn Monroe: Little girls shouldn't be told how pretty they are. They should grow up knowing how much their mother loves them.


- - -

Milton Greene (to Colin Clark):  She doesn't need saving...


New Year's Eve

Claire: New Year is about getting another chance.  A chance to forgive, to do better, to give more, to love more.

from IKV

Last time I went to Bohol was this...
Had a great time with KFCs
Paved the way for my own nieces and nephew to join KFC
Was able to spend quality time with nanay, her first time to ride a plane, huh.
Spent perfect moments with Arianna

Today, I pray for the upcoming Bohol Adventure.

Bless our schedules, Lord
Bless our plans, bless our vacation.
May our hearts be open to what you want us to experience
May our minds be ready to learn from these experiences
And may our being be ready to possess these great adventures
May You be praised, our God, our great provider.

I'm inspired with Kuya Kirby's thrust for this new year...

Fear less. Love more.


Lord, grant me the grace to define and name my fears so that I can eventually face them.
Fear and less when written apart means a reduced amount of fear, but combined together, 'fearless' means courageous. Bless my heart, Lord to be courageous enough to stop what hinders me and continue what propels me.
All of these, may I do with love for You...leading em to love myself more and trusting you most.

First Day of 2012

It's the first day of the year.
After attending Mass, we realized we had nowhere else to go...
Not to the malls, please. (hahaha to this)
Okay, let's head back home and have a lazy dinner.

While having dinner, we were thinking of things to do...
Obviously, we ended up agreeing on watching the movie, New Year's Eve.
We left our home quarter to seven and the movie was about to start by seven
Imagine the speed we were on to reach the moviehouse on time.

Uhmmm...what can I say?
I recognized Bon Jovi right away (Be didn't, eh)
I recognized Phoebe of the Charmed Ones (amazingly, Be didn't again!)

So many intertwined lives ('sosyal' version of  the movie jologs, sabi ko nga)
Okay, okay, it may seem 'bitin' but they had to squeeze in 1, 2, 3, 4...how many lives into one movie.
Some were okay...for some, 'pinilit' na lang...

I love Halle Berry's story
I emphatized with Robert De Niro's plight
I love Hilary Swank's job
It's nice to see Russel Peters
I like how Jessica Biel's hubby ended their story
Zac is way, way too young for Catwoman (but that's what the story wanted)
Lea Michele was so lucky with her elevator scene with Aston Kutcher
Nice idea with the sweets, Katherine Heigl
What took you so long to decide Bon Jovi?
And...if there's Sarah Jessica Parker, there's gotta be a beautiful pair of shoes in tow.

there....
Happy New Year!

Am I not?

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

How many question marks can fit into one's mind?

More than the number of neurons it contains?

As many as the cell it houses?

Hurt.

That was how I felt after she greeted me.

Was it a greeting? A reprimand? An order?

Passing judgement? Announcing a verdict?

I am hurt. Because the person matters to me.

I give importance and value to what the person has to say about me.

I just want to believe You know me better, Lord.

And yes, I am better.

Lord, lead me always to pray...to confide in you whenever I am besieged with emotions like these.

Whenever negativities swarm like a typhoon engulfing a whole city...

And teach me to be careful, too, with the words that I speak...

So I may not commit the same unintentional act

Of hurting the people I love.

Bless my heart that I may speak of words of love...

Amen.

The Blind Audition

The Voice's Season 2 is still a month away...

Am still amazed with their concept of the blind audition.

Makes me wonder and hope at the same time...

I just hope our ears are as attuned as theirs when it comes to hearing the voice of the One.
Even when 'blinded' or when we don't really see Him, we feel Him and know that that is Him
We know because we're so used to His voice
We know because we're attuned to Him
We know because we have developed a relationship with Him
We know because we always know the voice of the ones we love.
We know...and we are right.
