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...

Love without Talking

Quietly, simply, tenderly...
The world stood still
I could not say a word
Nor a single gestured showed.

The feeling kept in my heart
So I've loved you in silence
Humbly from a distance
And wished you well in everything.

I want to say I Love You,
But I'm afraid...
Afraid that you'll just take it for granted.
In silence then, I'll just love you.

In silence I'll find...
The fulfillment of my dreams.

...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

Fear

"In the end, it's better to say too much

than never to say what you need to say..."
John Mayer

Fear and worry paralyzes reason,
the faculty of imagination,
kills self-reliance,
undermines enthusiasm,
discourages initiative,
leads to uncertainty of purpose,
encourages procrastination,
wipes out dreams
and makes self-control an impossibility.

Fear is the real threat to anything in life.
