2010 Conviction

How can a mistake be so wrong if it feels so right?

TELL ME.

Kung kasalanan man na ibigin ka, pwes ayoko na lang maging tama....

"Home"

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Merry Christmas You!

Finally makakatulog na rin. Had a very tiring but very meaningful Christmas Eve. May this season's true Joy, Hope and Love be the reason to keep us going.... Christmas won't be complete without you crossing my mind. I may not have you physically right but it's so okay, I always have you in my heart. Missing you tonight... Merry Christmas! Love you! =) If you only knew what transpired in the last few days, I know you'd be proud of me as I am proud of you. Kaya mu yan... Now i can sleep... Nyt dear... Zzzzz

How Could I Say Goodbye?

29 October 2008 around 4pm
A beautiful warm sunny day.
In a quiet and secluded place in tune with nature.
The day I first laid my eyes on You...

After everything that happened...
I was supposed to hate you
And You weren't supposed to come
But You did.

It wasn't about what I saw,
Neither was it about the reason you came.
It wasn't about the uncertainty I was in.
It was You.

It wasn't about anything You said,
It certainly wasn't what you were wearing.
And definitely not with a friend you were with.
It's You.

It was surreal.
And it hits one down to the core.
It's funny and I agree.
But it's just magical.

It's unexplainable.
It's beyond what I've ever felt before.
For something or anyone.
It feels just like home.

I wanted to know more
I wanted to spend more time
I wanted the reasons for such a feeling
But the more I asked the more it became real.

I wanted to let it go...
I wanted to forget you...
Many times I tried and tried...
But I failed, and failed again and again...

So I let you stay...
It was sweet sorrow...
And since then It changed me...
Changed me forever in a profound way.

I don't know how this is going to unfold...
I don''t know how this is going to end...
I don't know where it's going to lead...
All I know is I Found You.

And everything seems to be okay...
Don't worry about me.
I'm happy and I'm doing very well...
And I hope you are too.

What I have is pointless...
What I do is irrelevant...
What I am is nothing...
In what I see in You.

Do me a favor...
Take care of yourself...
Come back in one piece...
I'm building our home.

Why?

Because You Came.

I always mean what I say...
You ought to know that by now.

I love you.

So tell me? How could I ever say goodbye?

Paano Mahalin ang Katulad Mo?

Di ko maikakaila ang pag-aalala
Na sa tuwi-tuwina’y dala-dala
Nangangamba, nangangamba
Na baka mapahamak ka

Dapat sarilinin ko na lang
Kayrami-rami mong pasan-pasan
Baka lalo ka pang mabibigatan

Itatago ko ang aking kaba

At ikukubli ang pangangamba
Ngunit sa dilim

Ay napapansin mo ang takot ko

Ang dinadaing koy para sa iyo

Ang unti-unting matutunan ko

Paano mahalin

Paano mahalin ang katulad mo

Di ko maikakaila ang pag-aalala
Ngunit di ba mas mahalaga
Ang dinggin ka, intindihin ka,
Samahan ka sa bawat pasya

Paano ba ako makakagaang
Paano ba ako makakatuwang
Paano kung ako ay nasasaktan

Itatago ko ang aking kaba

At ikukubli ang pangangamba
Ngunit sa dilim

Ay napapansin mo ang takot ko

Ang dinadaing koy para sa iyo
Ang unti-unting matutunan ko

(Counterpoint)

Paano ba ako makakagaang
Paano ba ako makakatuwang

Paano mahalin

Paano mahalin ang katulad mo

Interlude

Paano mahalin

Paano mahalin ang katulad mo

...missing you...

-ORAKULO

...is a GIFT

Love shall never pause,
Strong and determined with all our flaws.
It endures and doesn’t judge,
Never holds a lasting grudge.

Generous, loyal, always kind,
To your outer layer blind.
Surely, opposite of rude,
My beating heart I must include.
On your birthday, my love for you,
From the clouds, a perfect view.
Moments, memories, a year gone by,
I'm here for you, don't you cry.

My love for you, lives by the truth,
A promise to behold, a gift that soothes.
When it sees, our trust and hope,
It climbs and conquers any slope.
A birthday wish for my special love,
Message sent by the purest dove.
Wishing you happiness and success,
With eternal love, I must profess.

I celebrate your birth today,
A geeky person you always portray.
A mysterious soul, a funny one,
You keep me prisoner, can't get nothing done!
I only wish the best for you,
New experiences I hope to pursue.
On this special birthday, I’ll hold you tight,
As flames of love, begin to ignite.

A special heart, from the very start.
Like a work of art, I set you apart...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

May Inspiration Teach Courage Head-on!



Saving the best for last...
... and there's more, much more to come.
hehe! Kala mo

Missing you...

"The important thing is to be able at any moment
to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."
-Charles Dubois

In my silence...
In my slumber...
In my dreams...
In my hopes...
In my prayers...
In my heart...
I have you.

Because of you, I have learned how beautiful LOVE can be...
May God keep you in the palm of His hands.
Missing you...

Written by Us

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved...
for ourselves, or rather, in spite of ourselves." - Victor Hugo

This is our journey
We need not judge ourselves along the way
We are walking towards the same end
I want you to feel free to grow and change
and follow your life's path,
knowing that I love you for who you are and what you are.
Each step will define the story.
Each word of the story is written by US.
I miss you...

Crazyhappy...

I need so much,
the quiet of your love
After the day's loud strife;
I need your calm
all things above
After the stress of life.

I crave the heaven
in your dear heart lies,
After all toil is done;
I need the starshine
of your heavenly eyes,
After the day's great sun.

I miss you...
I Love you...
I do everything for You...

Sa Piling Mo

Sa piling mo, ako'y buhay
Napapawi ang lungkot at lumbay
Walang iba para sa 'kin
At habangbuhay kitang mamahalin

Ipinapangako ko
Pakaka-ingatan ko ang iyong puso
Hindi ka na mag-iisa
'Pagkat ako ay lagi mong makakasama

Sa piling mo nadarama
Ang walang patid na pagsinta
Minimithi gabi't araw
Na ang magmamahal sa akin ay ikaw

Ipinapangako ko
Pakaka-ingatan ko ang iyong puso
Hindi ka na mag-iisa
'Pagkat ako ay lagi mong makakasama

Ngayon at kailanman
Sa hirap at ginhawa

Sa piling mo (sa piling mo), ako'y buhay (ako'y buhay)
Napapawi ang lungkot at lumbay
Walang iba para sa 'kin
At habangbuhay (at habangbuhay) kitang mamahalin

Love is Reason Enough...

Don't ask me why..
I do not know.
The heart has its reasons.
That reason does not know.

Have the best weekend...
Go with my prayers and thoughts.
Do take care always.
I love you

WHEN I MET YOU
(Jim Paredes)

There I was
An empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing
What love and life is all about

Then you came
You brought me out of a shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew it
There I was in love with you

You gave me the reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I'm gone beyond existing
And it all began, when I met you...

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know
I know I'm on to something good

And I'm sure
My love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take care all my cares
Away where they can't bother me

You taught me how to love
You showed me a tomorrow and today my love
That's different from the yesterday I knew
You taught me to love and darling I will always
Cherish you today, tomorrow and forever

And I'm sure when the evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before
My love who could ask for more

.....................when I met you When i met you...

A Love to Last

To laugh is to risk appearing like a fool.

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.

The people who risks nothing, do nothing.
Have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But they cannot learn, feel, change and grow.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves;
Forfeiting their own freedom.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.

It is a risk to love.
What if it doesn't work out?
Aaah! But what if it does?

Have the best weekend.
I have you in my heart.
I continually thank my God for you.
Keep that smile.
Loving you more each day...

A Love That Will Last
(Renee Olstead)

I want a little something more
Don't want the middle or the one before
I don't desire a complicated past
I want a love that will last

Say that you love me
Say im the one
Don't kiss and hug me and then try to run
I don't do drama
My tears don't fall fast
I want a love that will last

(Chorus)
I don't want a just a memory
Give me forever
Don't even think about saying good-bye
Cuz I just want one love to be enough
And remain in my heart till I die

So call me romantic
huh I guess that's so
Theres something more that you oughta know
oh I'll never leave you
So don't even ask
I want a love that will last

Forever
I want a love that will last

(Chorus)
I don't want a just a memory
Give me forever
Don't even think about saying good-bye
Cuz I just want one love to be enough
And remain in my heart till I die

So theres just a little more that I need (more that i need)
I wanna share all the air that you breathe
I'm not the kinda girl to complicate the past
I want a love that will last

Forever
I want a love that will last
Always
I just want a love that will last
I Want a love that will last

Thinking of You

Deep reserves of patience,
A great heart shows.
Never give way to your emotions,
Never hurry to the end.

Maturity brings secrets,
Wise hesitation ripens the heart.
Walk through time and see,
Act boldly yet prudently.

Stay steadfast and strong,
Fear not you're not alone.
Hang in there for soon it ends,
The silent pain shall finally mend.

Thinking of you.
Missing you.
Night and day.
I love you.

Someone to Watch Over Me
(Gershwin)

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain girl I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget

Only girl I ever think of will regret
I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although she may not the girl some men think of
As handsome to my heart

She carries the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need

Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

Pour Toi Mon Amour

Entre deux coeurs qui s'aiment, nul besoin de paroles.

J'ay desiré cent fois me transformer, et d'estre
Un espirit invisible, afin de me cacher
Au fond de vostre coeur, pour l'humeur rechercher
Qui vous fait contre moy si cruelle apparoistre.

Si j'estois dedans vous, au moins je serois maistre
De l'humeur qui vous fait contre l'Amour pecher,
Et si n'auriez ny pouls, ny nerfs dessous la chair,
Que je ne recherchasse à fin de vous cognoistre.

Je s¸aurois maugré vous et voz complexions,
Toutes voz volontez, et voz conditions,
Et chasserois si bien la froideur de voz veins,

Que les flames d'amour vous y allumeriez:
Puis quand je les voirrois de son feu toutes pleines,
Je me referois homme, et lors vous m'aimeriez.

A hundred times I wish I could transform myself

And become an invisible spirit that hides inside your heart
And seeks to comprehend your scorn
Which seems to me so cruel.

I would become master of your emotion.
I would discover the pulse of your nerves
As they flow through your flesh and change
Your disdain. And then I would know you.

In spite of yourself, against your will
I would be a part of your desires and your terms.
And I would chase the coolness from your veins.

So perfectly, love could set fire to you,
Then, when I saw them burst into full flame,
I would step out and be a man again.
