I got this from the book “The Complete Courtship” by Nancy Van Pelt. p.134

“One self-respecting girl commented,’ I have been choosing between varying courses of action since I was old enough to reason. My parents had confidence in me & my judgment from early as I can remember. My friends & my church had the same high standards that my family held dear. There is no special virtue in my chastity. It is what I’ve chosen as the way I want for my life. I believe in fidelity- to my parents, to my sense of what is right, & what to my future husband & our marriage. What others call ‘FUN’ & ‘messing around’ I wouldn’t find enjoyable, for I prefer keeping my life clean, open. and above board.”
PIECES OF YOUis a book written by Tablo, a Korean singer, member of hip-hop group Epik High. I only knew him through this very nice Korean variety show "The Return of Superman." I didn't know he's also a talented writer and he wrote this book. No wonder I also like his version of Taeyang's "Eyes, Nose, Lips". His version is the best by far for me because of the lyrics. I like the words he used because you can really feel his "hate and pain."
After ages, I gained some confidence in posting something in my blog again. Let's get started.
One of my Korean buddy (she's not Korean, it's just that we have same interest on Korean Culture) asked me if I wanted to go to Cloud 9 Mountain Top view in Antipolo City. I confess, I'm not really the "adventure-enthusiast-kind-of-girl". Everyone who knows me knows that. But if someone invites me and I also like the place they're suggesting then I'll go for it.
Going back, we planned to meet on Friday at 11pm. Now, I really believe challenges always try to put every plan into tests. Here comes Friday, though "record-breaking" traffic jam is common in the Philippines, that day the traffic jam was kinda crazy. There was no vehicular accident as far as I know but the vehicles seem not moving at all. Later that day I learned that SM City East Ortigas was having its grand opening. And that mall happens to be around Ortigas Extension where we'll also be passing by on our way to Antipolo. Because of the turtle-like traffic jam, my usual 40 minutes to an hour travel time to home becomes around 2 hours. I left the office at 5am and reached home around 8am. I felt so sleepy yet I can't sleep since our meeting time was at 11am. To ease my sleepiness, I bought some groceries first then took a bath. Around 10 am, I laid on my bed and send her a message if we can just go by noon instead because of the traffic jam. Our area has a very poor mobile network signal. I was waiting for my message be sent BUT next thing I knew, I fell asleep and it's around noon already. I quickly put my cologne on and so as my backpack then leave. As expected, there were already number of messages from her.I thought she went ahead alone but she end up having a manicure and pedicure instead. Amazing! I really like that idea.
When I was already in our meeting place, I ate at McDonald's first while waiting for her to finish. And few minutes more we started our Antipolo trip.We met at Mercury drug, San Joaquin. From there we took a trike to Buting. From Buting we cross the footbridge to wait for Antipolo route PUVs on the other side of the highway. We waited for around 30 minutes since all PUVs are full and only few were passing by. Add to the struggles the other passengers waiting.Finally, we're able to take a ride. The van was moving so slow as we were approaching SM City East mall. Less travel jam though after we passed by it. What a relief! We got off at the other end of Rizal Provincial Capitol,Antipolo. There were trikes waiting along the side road but it's not route to Pinto Museum so we walked near the front part of the Capitol. There were few trikes there bound to Grand Heights Subdivision where Pinto Museum is at. We dropped off near the entrance of the museum.
For adult, the entrance fee is PHP200. Bags are not allowed inside so we we left our bags at the deposit counter. We were in a hurry since it's already 5pm and the museum will close by 6pm. We enjoyed the view while rushing to take photos. I and my buddy were like doing a photo shoot there. My buddy is so good at making poses. I'm camera shy. I like "fake stolen shots" instead of projecting to the camera.

It was kinda tiring 'coz we had to go up and down the stairs. The interesting fact of this Pinto art trip is when we enter a mysterious room. There's a post on the door saying that the contents in that room are not suitable for children and that it should always be keep closed.As we open the sliding door, the room was dark. I thought it's not for viewing but you can see some art stuff. As my buddy turned the lights on, we finally saw the kind of arts in there. Indeed the contents are not for kids. We kept laughing as we explore through that small mysterious room.
The mysterious room
And our time was finally up. So we were ready to head up to Cloud 9~ the highlight of this little jaunt. There were trikes parked few steps from the museum's entrance/exit. Instead of going back to Rizal Provincial Capitol to ride a trike bound to Cloud 9, we asked the driver if they can go straight to that place It's possible, however, it's was a special ride which means fare is higher than regular rate. I think it took around 10-15 minutes before we reached our destination. We were asked to brace ourselves as the trike went up the resort 'coz of the steep road. We decided to eat first at the restaurant where you can see the Metro skyline. What a stunning view! We sat outside then ordered our food. The prices of their food starts from around PHP100 and up but the serving is good for 2-3 persons. My buddy and I shared same food. We already asked to bill out when the restaurants' "band" started "serenading" us. I though they only do it for couples or customers celebrating their birthday. Note, you have to give them tip after that. There's always something in return. Can they just love without conditions? Oh, seems like I'm talking 'about different topic. 😅
After that, we asked them that we'll go to the 360 Degree View Sky Deck. We don't have to pay the entrance fee since we ate at the restaurant. They just put stamp on our hands. To go there we must cross the hanging bridge. I was so excited to try that bridge but as I walked few steps up and reality slaps me hard, I backed out. I was so convinced that the bridge will break because it's me who'll try it. I'm kinda unlucky. I can feel my muscles shaking a bit. But I tried to be brave. I don't wanna disappoint too much my buddy 'coz she really wanna try it though she said she got scared too. Finally , I say "Let's go!". Really, I made sure not to look down while slowly crossing the bridge or else I might faint. That moment was so dramatic for me. I was thinking that God is walking with me, that He'll keep us same from harm. But at the same time I can hear echos behind my mind saying on and on that "THE BRIDGE WILL COLLAPSE AND I'LL FALL!!!" The more we went up the more I trembled. THANK GOD and ALL the SAINTS and ANGEL in HEAVEN 'coz we reached the deck SAFE and SOUND and SHAKING SO HARD! Though I said I won't try it again, maybe I will still. Who knows? But that fear was eased by the beauty of the 360 degree overlooking view of Manila skyline.

The rest of the story were struggles specially in commuting since we are not familiar with the place. Let me mentioned us crossing back and forth the highway 'coz we're not sure what route should we take to go home. I'm geographically challenged. Good thing, my buddy were able to seek help from her co-worker who are familiar with the place. It was definitely FUN since my usual rest day is just spent at home. Pretty boring, eh? This ends my yada yada story about our little jaunt in Antipolo. ♥
I saw an old video of The Eagles performing "Hotel California" live and it was during their reunion concert "Hell Freezes Over" way back April of 1994.I was still 4 years old then. ^^ I started listening to their songs when I was about 8 years old,I guess. My papa bought a stereo then and it came with three free CDs which are "The Very Best of Eagles", "The Cream of Clapton" and "You're the Inpiration" album of Peter Cetera.From then I grew up enjoying the songs of these artists specially The Eagles and Eric Clapton. I really like this live acoustic version of Hotel California specially when the percussion started to play- hell really freezes over.And I also like it when they said that "For the record, we never broke up.We just took a 14 year vacation." 😉 After watching this video I start searching again for both of their old and new songs. As I've been watching this on and on I noticed that Mr. Timothy B. Schmit is still attractive even these days!^^ I search about him also and he still have that nice charisma. He might look "old" but the charisma he exudes is still of a young wise man.I don't know. That's what I thought when I watch him performs on these random videos on Youtube. And now he's my favorite. Though Mr.Glenn Frey took a "lifetime vacation" already how I still wish to have a chance to watch them perform live. <3
Credit goes to the right owner
And let me include this trailer from the documentary on the history of The Eagles
I am not a fan of this play and barely know about it but when after watching a clip of its Japanese version I found it interesting. I tried to search some quotes from the web but unable to find any. I found instead a script of it online, read it and wrote down the dialogues which I find funny or interesting.
I do not speak Japanese so I also do not understand this video.
EILEEN: If it makes him happy, sure, what harm? There are a hundred
worse things to occupy a lad's time than cow watching. Things would land
him up in hell. Not just late for his tea.

BILLY: And don't call me Cripple Billy, you.
JOHNNY: For why? Isn't your name Billy and aren't you a cripple?
BILLY: Well do I go calling you "Johnnypateenmike with the news that's

JOHNNY: ...will make film stars of whosoever should be chose to take part in it

HELEN: They only took him in

out Billy was born a cripple-boy.
BILLY: They didn't go and drowned themselves.
HELEN: Oh aye, aye . . .
BILLY: They only fell o'erboard in roughseas.
HELEN: Uh-huh. What were

BARTLEY: Sure anybody with a brain is at least

BILLY: Ah I was only thinking aloud, sure.
EILEEN: Well stop thinking

DOCTOR: Johnnypateenmike, don't you know well

JOHNNY: From the horse's mouth. MAMMY:
Although I do prefer poteen.
DOCTOR: But you don't get given poteen?
MAMMY: I don't get given poteen, no.
JOHNNY: Now.
MAMMY: Only on special occasions.
DOCTOR: And what qualifies as a special

MAMMY: A Friday, a Saturday or a Sunday.
DOCTOR: When your

show it to you, the damage your fine care has done.

DOCTOR: (Pause) Did you ever hear of a thing called doctorpatient
confidentiality, Johnnypateenmike? JoHNNY: I did, and I think it's a

KATE: (Pause) I think Billy's in love with Helen on top of it. En.
EILEEN:
I think Billy's in love with Helen. It'll all end in tears.
KATE: Tears
or death
slightly throughout.

BILLY: Mam? I fear I'm not longer for this world, Mam. Can't I hear the
wail of the banshees for me, as far as I am from me barren island home?
A home barren, aye, but proud and generous with it, yet turned me back
on ye I did, to end up alone and dying in a one-dollar rooming-house,
without a mother to wipe the cold sweat off me, nor a father to curse
God o'er the death of me, nor a colleen fair to weep tears o'er the
still body of me. A body still, aye, but a body noble and unbowed with
it. An Irishman! (Pause)Just an Irishman. With a decent heart on him,
and a decent head on him, and a decent spirit not broken by a century's
hunger and a lifetime's oppression!(Coughing) but a body broken, and the lungs of him broken, and, if
truth be told, the heart of him broken too, be a lass who never knew
his true feelings, and now, sure, never will. What's this, Mammy, now,
that you're saying to me? He looks at a sheet of paper on the table. Be
writing home to her, I know, and make me feelings known. Ah, 'tis late,
Mammy. Won't tomorrow be soon enough for that task?
***
BILLY: You shouldn't laugh at other people's misfortunes, Bartley
***
BILLY: Hours I practised in me hotel there. And all
for nothing. (Pause) I gave it a go anyways. I had to give it a go. I
had to get away from this place, Babbybobby, be any means, just like me
mammy and daddy had to get away from this place. (Pause) Going drowning
meself I'd often think of when I was here, just to . . . just to end
the laughing at me, and the sniping at me, and the life of nothing but
shuffling to the doctor's and shuffling back from the doctor's and
pawing over the same oul books and finding any other way to piss
another day away. Another day of sniggering, or the patting me on the
head like a broken-brained gosawer. The village orphan. The village
cripple, and nothing more. Well, there are plenty round here just as
crippled as me, only it isn't on the outside it shows.

BILLY: Aunties, I think the doctor might be wanting a mug of tea, would
ye's both go and get him one? EILEEN: Is getting rid of us you're
after? If it is, just say so.
BILLY: It's getting rid of ye I'm after.
Eileen stares at him a moment then moodily exits to the back room.
DOCTOR: You shouldn't talk to her like that, now, Billy. BILLY: Ah they
keep going on and on.
DOCTOR: I know they do but they're women.
BILLY:
I suppose.

BILLY: I was trying to build up to . . . There comes a time in every
fella's life when he has to take his heart in his hands and make a try
for something, and even though knows it's a one in a million chance of
him getting it, he has to chance it still, else why be alive at all?
***
KATE: I wasn't listening or alright I was a biteen listening. (Pause)
You wait for a nice girl to come along, Billy. A girl who doesn't mind
at all what you look like. Just sees your heart.
BILLY: How long will I be waiting for a girl like that to come along,
Aunty?
KATE: Ah not long at all, Billy. Maybe a year or two. Or at the outside
five.
It's official, I'm totally distracted by this long hair lad. And I'm going crazy once again. Pretending to act cool but my head keeps looking around,waiting for him to pass by. Then he comes out of the blue and though I wanna stare at him more my eyes only option is to take a glance 'coz if I look a little bit longer I might get caught and it's too embarrassing to deal with that.
Just today our eyes met as quick as a snap.
It may be nothing for you but it draw a smile on me.
I feel like a jinx female lead in a manga story.
And you're an Ike-men I can only watch from afar.
It's like I wish we can stand close each other
but I wish that won't happen 'coz I might lose my mind.
But one thing I know for sure,this is just a crush.
I'm not dreaming to go beyond that.
I guess this is how it is for a girl meant to be forever alone...everything is just a crush.
2 Kiss me tenderly! Your love is better than wine, 3 and you smell so sweet. All the young women adore you; the very mention of your name is like spreading perfume. 4 Hurry, my king! Let’s hurry. 5 Take me to your home.
The Young Women Speak:
We are happy for you! And we praise your love even more than wine.
She Speaks:
Young women of Jerusalem, it is only right that you should adore him. My skin is dark and beautiful, like a tent in the desert or like Solomon’s curtains. 6 Don’t stare at me just because the sun has darkened my skin. My brothers were angry with me; they made me work in the vineyard, and so I neglected my complexion.
Don’t let the other shepherds think badly of me.[a] 7 I’m not one of those women who shamelessly follow after shepherds.[b] My darling, I love you! Where do you feed your sheep and let them rest at noon?
He Speaks:
8 My dearest, if you don’t know, just follow the path of the sheep. Then feed your young goats near the shepherds' tents. 9 You move as gracefully as the pony that leads the chariot of the king. 10 Earrings add to your beauty, and you wear a necklace of precious stones. 11 Let’s make you some jewelry of gold, woven with silver.
She Speaks:
12 My king, while you were on your couch, my love was a magic charm.[c] 13 My darling, you are perfume between my breasts; 14 you are flower blossoms from the gardens of En-Gedi.[d]
He Speaks:
15 My darling, you are lovely, so very lovely— your eyes are those of a dove.
She Speaks:
16 My love, you are handsome, truly handsome— the fresh green grass will be our wedding bed 17 in the shade of cedar and cypress trees.
Love Makes Everything Beautiful
She Speaks:
2 I am merely a rose[a] from the land of Sharon, a lily from the valley.
He Speaks:
2 My darling, when compared with other young women, you are a lily among thorns.
She Speaks:
3 And you, my love, are an apple tree among trees of the forest. Your shade brought me pleasure; your fruit was sweet. 4 You led me to your banquet room and showered me with love. 5 Refresh and strengthen me with raisins and apples. I am hungry for love! 6 Put your left hand under my head and embrace me with your right arm.
7 Young women of Jerusalem, promise me by the power of deer and gazelles[b] never to awaken love before it is ready.
Winter Is Past
She Speaks:
8 I hear the voice of the one I love, as he comes leaping over mountains and hills 9 like a deer or a gazelle. Now he stands outside our wall, looking through the window 10 and speaking to me.
He Speaks:
My darling, I love you! Let’s go away together. 11 Winter is past, the rain has stopped; 12 flowers cover the earth, it’s time to sing.[c] The cooing of doves is heard in our land. 13 Fig trees are bearing fruit, while blossoms on grapevines fill the air with perfume. My darling, I love you! Let’s go away together. 14 You are my dove hiding among the rocks on the side of a cliff. Let me see how lovely you are! Let me hear the sound of your melodious voice. 15 Our vineyards are in blossom; we must catch the little foxes that destroy the vineyards.[d]
She Speaks:
16 My darling, I am yours, and you are mine, as you feed your sheep among the lilies. 17 Pretend to be a young deer dancing on mountain slopes[e] until daylight comes and shadows fade away.
And this is my favorite verse:
Young women of Jerusalem, promise me by the power of deer and gazelles[b] never to awaken love before it is ready.
I used to work as a Customer Service Representative. I was inspired one day to write this simple poem.😉
cr: Image taken from Google images.
See your customers as God.
Take the call with no delay 'coz God is calling you.
Greet them like thanking God for you're still alive today.
On the part of knowing and handling the concern
God is now testing you.
Listen if you have ears.
Feel free to be honest 'coz He loves that.
But be slow to anger
'coz you cannot do the good things He wants done.
Anger makes you bitter. And remember,
a bitter person don't last forever.
If it hurts your ego don't try to get even.
It's a good reminder
on how His only Son responded when mistreated and mocked
thousands years ago.
Make sure you do your best,
whether the concern was resolved or not,
'coz He'll take care of the rest.
If it's a good call show gratefulness
like how you do when you're happy.
If it's a bad call do the same 'coz that shows your faith.
But don't release the call!
That's like running far away from Him.
No matter how tempting,
Please don't use that "Hadouken" technique on the phone.
The Quality Analysts are like His angels.
They will tell Him all you do.
So no secret is forever hidden.
And before the call ends don't forget to ask
"Anything else I can help you with?"
'coz He's always in search of a willing heart to do His plans.
And you're closing spiel too
"Thank you for calling..."
'coz He longs to hear that from you.
Now every break time be sure to come on time.
So just like if your last day on earth comes out of the blue it won't catch you like a trap.
When you are coached be Wise by accepting corrections,
not Stupid by rejecting it.
Stop complaining if it's queuing .No Calls.No Work.No Money.
Remember the cliche No Pain. No Gain.
Work hard so you will have a lot of food.
If you waste time, you will have a lot of trouble.
But don't forget to REST 'coz even God takes rest.
It's your time now to call God's toll free customer service
hotline.Open 24/7 even on Holidays. No identity verification to ask. And
No queuing!
Irate customers are highly recommended and are very much welcome to call. :D
"Waiting for the end" of Linkin Park is my new Last Song Syndrome [LSS]
these past few weeks. I'm listening to it almost the entire day. This is
the beautiful thing about songs. They exactly describe the feeling you can't clearly express. It's like throwing you a one time big punch, knocking you out in a snap. That's
just my two cents about music. I don't know much about it neither I am
musically talented. This is simply a POV of a common listener. I'm not an
LP fan when I was a kid even when I was a teen. I'm afraid I'm making
it sounds like they're too old. They look younger than their age though.
But I already like few of their songs then. I don't even have any copy
of their
albums. It was less than two years ago, I guess, when I started listening to some of their songs. Not just because of how it sounds but most of all
because of its substance. And I really have an eye to this kind of
musician. I admire their style of writing. It's out of the topic but the
other artist I also admire because of the way he writes is Tablo. His
version of "Eyes,Nose,Lips" is the best for me out of all the many
versions. Going back to the Park, hopefully I can buy their A Thousand Suns album.
I
like what Mike Shinoda had said about their music in an interview.
"People just want junk food. They want throw-away junk food
music that's going to make them lethargic and fat. We feel the same way
about music. We want to hopefully move even more into being able to make
more substantial music. We're definitely paying attention to the
substance and the nuance, and we hope to make something that's really
cutting edge and really different."
No
question marks why they are a music legend. If I'll have my own children
in the far future I'll definitely let them listen to LP's songs. At the
right age of course. I can't imagine letting a kid listen to Dirt Off Your Shoulder lyrics which has a line saying, "I ordered a frappuccino.Where's my F****n frappuccino...B**ch!" !^^
You know I've been telling you how much i adore you
but my words are not enough
I need to be there by your side
if you'll only let me show what I'm feeling.
I wonder when will i lay in your arms.
When will I finally feel your warmth.
When will you hold my hands and ask me to stay by your side.
I wonder when will you put me in your heart.
I wanna be your strength when you are weak
I wanna listen to your every stories.
Can you be mine?
Boy if I give you my heart will you see through my eyes
if i can be the girl you need?
Whisper to me if you can be mine.
You're everything that i want.
I wanna be more than just your girl.
I wanna take care of you
lean on you as we guide our children grow,
write more poems for you until we grow old.
Tell me can you be mine?
I don't wanna give a damn to what other people say.
Just help me believe in you
you'll always have my faith.
Just give me reasons to stay
I'll always be with you in good times and in bad times.
But I'm a fool trying to believe what 's not true.
They said you already got a girl.
Makes me feel so blue but i wish happiness for both of you.
Now i wonder will i still find someone like you ?
or maybe someone more unusual.
I'll live my life out loud without you for now.
If it didn't work out for both of you
and you're left with a cold heart
I pray to God to keep it warm.
Maybe someday your heart will beat with mine.
He's swoon every girl's heart.
They say here " Oh my gee he's so cute!"
Over there they say
"Geez his English is so good!"
He always say he's a shy guy
but I wonder how many girls
have break his heart.
This feelin' is still unsure
'coz those other girls might feel the same way too.
I'm scared that this is just an infatuation
'coz for real I adore you so.
Boy on TV
you and me are no longer teens.
I'm done with fan girling.
Done kissing it goodbye long time ago.
But since I saw you
just caught myself thinking of you.
Boy on TV
I can only watch you on the screen.
So out of reach but I'll gladly take the risk
if you tell me you need me too.
I won't go around
spend some cash for your authograph.
I don't want your photo books
or take selfie with you
'coz all I need is just you
without all these lights flashing around.
I wanna know how you get mad
and what makes you laugh out loud.
Wanna see your good and bad side.
How can a girl like me dare like this?
Did I forgot that a high profile boy like you
is meant for a high profile girl who's not me.
We're both shy. Not sure if that can be a good match.
But I need a shy guy who can only be mine.
But maybe in reality I can never be part of your world.
I know I got my own life
and you got yours too.
Why do I bother thinking of you?
You don't even know my name.
It's like my day won't be complete
without a thought of you.
Though it's pretty clear that you're just a fantasy.
In my dream I can see
you and me in a coffee shop.
As I turn the pages of the book,
take a sip of my frappe,I look at you.
That green tea latte on your lips
makes me want to kiss you so gently
then we'll call it a green tea latte kiss.
I wish I'm your green tea latte.
Will I be your favorite too?
You're my favorite guy next to God and to my dad.
But you're a star.
I don't wanna be your fan.
If I stand next to you
will I tell you what I'm feelin'?
Or will I just hold it back 'coz I'm too shy.
I never thought I can be this excited about you.
I wonder who you really are behind all these spotlights.
I don't want any fantasy no more.
It takes cups of coffee for me to do this.
You may think I'm a little bit of crazy
but I don't care.
I'm afraid this would only turn you off.
This may be nothing at all.
It takes a lot of courage to still give it a try
though I'm so scared inside.
That this little hope of mine
you can like me more than that green tea latte someday.
Before the night ends
though I know you're out of reach
you're in my prayer.
Whispering to God what I'm feelin'.
God might be laughing at me
seeing His little girl going crazy for you.
I shouldn't have heard you speak
if I only knew that it will change
the next days of my life.
The way you think captivates me.
It's like a spell that won't fade away.
Oh boy here I am watching from afar,
standing miles away from where you are.
You had blown me away.
You're so different from anybody else.
You're as rare as seeing a falling star.
You fall into my heart.
I wish you'd fall in love to me.
A girl like me shouldn't wish for a pretty boy like you.
But what can I do?
It's not a matter of your profile
or if they say that you're so fly.
You're more than meets the eye
that's what I really like.
I really hope you're different from the other guy.
Like seeing a falling star,
I wish for you but you fall in love to somebody else.
Who's the lucky girl who is making you laugh now?
I wonder if she's treating you right.
She should be proud 'coz you're one of a kind.
I'll leave this dream now if you love her so much.
But if she breaks your heart
I'll kneel before God and ask to bring your heart close to mine.
As the sun rays touch my face in the morning
I can feel its warmth into my veins.
Then I know I'm still alive.
How many nights I cried myself to sleep?
When I'm alone in the room
tears flow like a river down to my cheeks
I wish these tears can cleanse my soul.
We've been through a lot Lord.
I'm unworthy but here I am still alive.
Lord, Happy Valentine's!
I asked You too many questions I can no longer count.
I've been good. I've been bad.
Sometimes I really don't know who I am.
But there's nobody else who can love me the way You do.
But as your words came to life
it brings me life within too.
I wanna love you the most
but I can't even love myself.
You're always good.
I always fee I'm being bad.
Sometimes I thought I'm kind.
Sometimes I thought I'm full of pride.
I know it's not right.
But maybe you know I'm so jealous deep inside.
I want your attention to be only mine.
But I can't even pay full attention to You.
I love you on my best.
I hate you on my worst.
I tried to run away many times.
But I can do nothing without you.
I'm nothing without you
but You without me will still remain that same God.
I'm down on my knees.
Thirsty for your mercy.
Hungry for your grace.
My sins make me cry all day.
Oh Lord, I'm so weak. Please don't hide.
It's Valentine's day
I wonder where you are tonight?
Is there a girl kissing you now?
Sweetly whispering |"Happy Valentine's"
Then you gently kiss her back.
If that's so then I'm dying right now.
Stupid as I am
but I don't care if you don't even know my name.
If you see me I'm afraid your eyes won't even meet mine.
But what can I do?
I can't ask you to love.
We know that's not love.
We can't control our hearts.
Nothing I can do to make you feel this.
Boy, I can only cry.
Each and every day
I try my best not to think of you.
But at night I realized
you're on my mind all day.
I pray one day as I wake up
you already fade away from my mind.
No more feelings about you.
I rather take that pain
than the pain of deeply admiring you
while seeing you so in love to somebody else.
Boy I can only cry. All I can do is cry.
I'm just a little girl praying for your love.
Maybe I'm crazy but I'd still like to try
to be with you and to be your last girl.
Maybe you can just be a memory I can laugh at someday
or maybe I can be with you and we'll make memories together one day.
This is my only way to let you know what I'm feelin' deep inside.
Would you even care?
My tears run dry
but I'm still crying and I don't know why.
But as I see your face smiling at me
my heart lightens up
and with you around sparks hope in me.
Everyday I thank the Lord
for bringing us to each others live.
I'm not the best but you still choose me.
You see things differently from the rest.
That's why I really love you.
You're one in a million.
You're a man of few words
but you're always there to listen
even though I'm hard to understand.
Those times you're down
and it breaks my heart
but I can't find a word to say
so I just listen to you
and wipe your tears aways.
You're always the best for me
either high or dry.
A man like you is hard to find,
as rare as once in a blue moon.
Life doesn't always go the way plan it.
But let's be strong.
Let's set aside our pride
and have with each other
till the very end 'coz you're the only one for me.
There's
a time in your life where you're not quite sure where you are. You
think everything's perfect, but it's not perfect... Then one day you
wake up and you can't quite picture yourself in the situation you're in.
But the secret is, if you can picture yourself doing anything in life,
you can do it.
Tom DeLonge
I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.
Queen Latifah

People
think that I'm mean because I'm quiet, and I don't really go out places
or because I don't really say too much. On the other hand, people think
that I'm soft because I may not handle myself the way other people
handle themselves. That's just not me. They don't know my background or
none of that stuff.
Derrick Rose
I remember listening to the radio as a
kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny,
but the more hurtin' the music was, the better it made me feel. I think
of that now when I write my songs. I may not be feelin' the blues
myself, but I'm writing them for other people who have a hard life.

God has a way...
"God has a way of fulfilling the dreams in your heart in the best way possible.He will allow you to be temporarily disappointed,but never permanently frustrated.You
don't have to understand it all,but when you surrender your dreams to
God and trust Him to send you the best, that's exactly what happens."
Praising God everyday...
"Each day is full of reasons to praise and thank God even when life seems empty of comfort or joys.It's when our cups are empty that God fills them up.Real happiness comes not in achieving big things but enjoying the simple blessings in life."
Man without God is nothing...
"Get close to God first before getting close to anyone else.God without man is still God.But a man without God is nothing."
Be thankful of the bad things...
"Be Thankful of the bad things in life for they open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention before." Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI Quotes -An Adult faith does not follow the waves of fashion and the latest novelties. -Palm Sunday tells us that...it is the cross that is the true tree of life. -Everything
is a gift from God: it is only by recognizing this crucial dependence
on the Creator that we will find freedom and peace. -Every human being is loved by God the Father. No one need feel forgotten, for every name is written in the Lord's loving Heart. -What does Sunday, the day of the Lord, mean for us? It is a day for rest and for family, but first of all a day for Him. -Many false idols are held up today. For Christians to be faithful, they can't be afraid to go against the current. -If we have love for our neighbor, we will find the face of Christ in the poor, the weak, the sick and the suffering. -We must trust in the mighty power of God's mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace transforms us and makes us new. -We
must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want
to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a
legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help
these people.
Little lady born in 1990. Not a pro blogger but social networking sites have been one of my external hard drives for my seemingly wandering thoughts and emotions.
Used to be a hyped Koreanophile. These days I'm gaining a lot of interest in Japanese culture specially in entertainment.
