If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Of beautiful things
Its a chance you'll take
It's a chance you'll win
If someone's gonna find you
First you gotta let them in
Coz love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now its easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might win it all or lose your heart...
celebrating 10 years of friendship....

Do you believe in magic?
In a young girl's heart
How the music can free her
whenever it starts...

hmmm...
got to the office by 530am. i really love driving at this time of the day....there's a bit of night, and light slowly coming in...though in this case, dark clouds hovering above left very little light to seep in. plus, it was a 10-minute drive. no classes today, therefore, no road congestion at all.
one thing though...driving at this time of the day...listening to red hot chili peppers....trust me, not good! =) i know i shouldn't have left my cds at home!
have a nice day, everyone! =)

Feel like I'm a little girl
Best thing in the whole wide world
Is I can see the makings of a memory
I remember how it used to be
Well I'm still dreaming...
'Cause I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things...
rainy days & tuesdays...
wow! it's really pouring hard out here.....the rain hasn't stopped since...saturday? oh no, will our trip push through?prayers...prayers...

He tells me words of love,
Words of every day,
And in them I become something.
He has entered my heart,
A part of happiness
Whereof I understand the reason.
It’s he for me and I for him, throughout life,
When he takes me in his arms
And speaks softly to me,
I see life in rosy hues.

manic mondays....NOT!
I woke up a bit later than my usual time. Was probably tired from talking to a friend til the wee hours of the morning, plus watching 24, season 5 (which I still didn’t get to finish). The past week was a bit exhausting for me. I have realized that God has given me a gift….a gift that I must use to reach out to people and share His word. But sometimes, I just feel so burdened by everything. I feel tired. I am human after all. A good friend empathizes with me, saying that it’s really hard to be a vessel – taking on other people’s problems. I sometimes find myself longing for something or someone…that will make the day’s troubles go away. Just to have someone listen to me. Just to be quiet with someone. I enjoy comfortable silences – they’re the best! Just to commune with nature, relax, listen to good music. Just to be up on that roof. I feel that this will be a good week! =)
*sigh*
If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
Though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for you
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new
You see I love the way you love me
I love the way you smile at me
I love the way we live this life we're in
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through
But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you
I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you
And when you say you believe in me
there's so much magic I can do...
Good morning! =)

moving forward
last night, it was again revealed to me. i mentioned to a friend once that my goal is to leave imprints in people's lives. i think i'm on the right track though sometimes...oh well. out with the negatives...this is something that He gave me.
To the beat of the rhythm of the night,
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
we can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night..
oohh the rhythm of the night...ooohh yeah
can't get this song out of my head...been singing and dancing to this song since last night! and Joy was laughing at me. i was acting all goofy last night , distracting myself because i soooo need inspiration right now. work issues piling up. been singing my life song too!
When this old world starts a getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street
On the roof, that's the only place I know
Look at the city, baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof
And at night the stars they put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
That's what I said
Keep on telling you
That right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
And if this old world starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof...
i wish there really is a roof i can go up to! i suddenly remember my college write-up. making lemonades out of the lemons...hmmm...
This too shall pass.
This is definitely exciting! =)

of flowers and friends
She’s faced the hardest times you could imagine.And many times her eyes fought back the tears.
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders,
bore the weight of all her fears.
And the sorrow no one hears,
Still rings in midnight silence
In her ears...
Let her cry, for she’s a lady
Let her dream, for she’s a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower, growing wild
**was talking to a friend earlier and he said this song reminds him of me! and i know for a fact that there's a plant called Erica. hahaha...but anyways, thank you for the song dedication. though, i think the hootie song still fits me better. wild???? me???? hahaha. just kidding. but all those things we talked about, i wouldn't have made it through without Him by my side. i'm glad that my life testimonies inspired you...totoo ba yan?
thanks again. i appreciate your friendship. =)
*sigh*
More than I could hope or dream of,
You want to pour your favour on me.
One day in the house of God is,
better than a thousand days in the world.
So blessed I can't contain it
So much I gotta give it away
Your love has taught me to live now
You are more than enough for me!
Lord, You are more than enough for me
Lord, You are more than enough for me
Lord, You are more than enough for me
weekend woes & wows
just went through my victory weekend and i feel oh, so happy! yes, the Lord has won the battle for us. He has overcome. I feel so blessed, so grateful, and sooooo free! pictures will be posted as soon as i get them from Mike (no, Gen not my UP Fair Mike (oh how i wish...joke lang) delikado names na yun diba?) and from Jaja. i really enjoyed meeting new people from vcf and making new friends. and i love ms. aileen! she is such a blessing, a true warrior in God's army. her words speak of His love for me and i have learned so much from her inspiring talks. i can't wait to talk to her again... uh-oh...idolatry? hahaha
i love hotels and spending overnights with friends. we stayed in holiday inn - judith and i. we were both excited to have breakfast...unfortunately, it wasn't so great. but good coffee though. super bonding with judith during this victory weekend. i thank God for her too. she is a blessing in my life.
my brother picked me up after the retreat. we had lunch in greenhills, wel
l more like dessert. he was craving for crazy crepes. and that's exactly what it was. a CRAZY way of eating crepes. it was so messy, eating crepes like ice cream...ever heard of plates? but i guess that's why it sells, huh? i looooove greenhills. i always feel at home in greenhills. and virra mall looked so different now. i think they call it v mall now. i suddenly missed bread connection and uncle martin's sundae....did i get that right? greenhillls is a big part of my growing up years. and i would always choose greenhills over any other mall here. not for shopping, though. just for hanging out. =)
i still wasn't successful in finding that "perfect watch" even in greenhills. and it's july, my birthday has passed. maybe it's not the right time yet (pun intended) to buy. oh well.
tomorrow's monday and i will be once again faced with my work problems. aaarrrgggh. what to do...what to do.....my mind's on active mode now....i need to think and think and think...
but good news this week! i finally got my RTC (thanks to resty!) and i will be signing the contract for the unit i'm paying for. yehey!!! it will be finally official this week. when it's done, everyone's invited. but we have to do it in batches, it's just a small space. i don't think my usual guest list would fit in. oh, i'm so excited! ( note to friends: karla, pag turn-over you should be here. you and hottie josh. hahaha. gen, you should be here too. baka after 2 years pa matapos eh! sana hindi naman. or during one of your visits... ;) )
need to take a power nap now. been up since 11am, considering that i slept around 830am...hmmm...but for some reason, i don't feel tired at all. i'm just happy and happy and happy. not worried anymore about tomorrow's work tragedies. bring them on!
=)
LSS: it's the great space coaster, get on board..on the great space coaster, we'll explore....

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be without
a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
chuck!
This is turning out to be a good day...woke up at 430am, had a nice chat with a friend -- i enjoy getting to know someone, especially someone who likes Air Supply (hahahaha). i was told this morning that he reminds me of peppermint patty of the peanuts gang. i therefore made a little research...with my own comments..
Peppermint Patty is noted for her persistent habit of profoundly misunderstanding basic concepts and ideas that most people would consider obvious, leading to embarrassing situations. For instance, she probably is the only character in the strip who for a very long time did not recognize Snoopy as a dog, continuously referring to him as "the funny looking kid with the big nose".
--- okay Gen, Tet, Isa, Jerome, Kaye...or any friend of mine who's reading this: is this me?!?! Alright, maybe sometimes. And i get away with it with my cute looks and witty remarks... hahaha.
She is widely known for receiving a D− grade on every test or assignment in school (in 1999, the final full year of "Peanuts," her teacher presented her with a certificate naming her to the "D-Minus Hall of Fame") -- hmmm...not true, not true
Peppermint Patty's bad grades are possibly aided by her tendency to sleep through class.
-- hmmm...very true, very true (the sleeping, i mean)
Peppermint Patty lives with her father and enjoys a particularly close relationship with him, even though he apparently has to do a lot of travelling. He refers to his daughter as his "rare gem," a nickname with which Patty is extremely pleased. Her mother apparently died long ago, for Peppermint Patty has no memories of her.-- rare gem..i like that...and we both lost a parent!
Okay, okay. Enough of this. Now i'm actually comparing myself to a cartoon character...uh-oh. I'm sinking deep into depression...Hahaha. No worries. This too shall pass. Thanks Gen for the encouragement. =) Love you!
But I enjoyed writing this post. A rare gem, indeed!
so sick of....
the past week's activities is taking its toll on me. i need to sleep, to relax, to rest! and it doesn't help that i'm feeling a bit depressed too...yes, this is me talking..always happy, always sunny --- sorry friends, not this time :(
in any case, just to give me a little credit, there are 2 reasons why i like watching grey's anatomy:
1) Patrick Dempsey *sigh*
2) the music, the songs!
and even as i'm typing this post up, i'm listening to the series' soundtrack...i love it!
see, there are still things that i can smile about...little things that make me happy....a fresh perspective - that's all i really need.
gotta get some sleep. been up since 11am yesterday. stayed up late to watch the world cup finals!
good night friends...tomorrow is another day..
p.s. nice to be back in blogger again. never fails ;)
distraction is a good thing. thank you to a good friend for giving me copies of grey's anatomy 1 & 2. though that really shouldn't qualify as good distraction, huh? with all the gory scenes and surgeries! but somehow, i feel that i'm like meredith - especially since i'm going through something quite similar. yuck..this is so not me. relating my life story to some character of a tv series...oh, i really must be depressed! this is bad...tsk, tsk...
