A prayer for a friend

Ian has been a classmate and a friend since i entered the university.

It saddens me to hear the news about his father...

to everyone of you who knows Ian...let us prayer for him and his family...

May God strengthen them with His grace at this moment of their lives...

May the memory of their father serve as a binding force of their family...

To the Gencianeo family, my prayers are with you...

break muna

pinapatulog na ako ng nanay ko, pero gising pa ako...
nagtatype-type ako sa lumang keyboard na to..
nakaupo sa lumang paikot-ikot na malambot na chair na to...
may electric fan na paikot-ikot sa harap ko...
nasa bandang kaliwa ko ang hapag-kainan...
nasa harap ko ang altar...
nasa unahan naman ang tv...
nasa may bandang taas ko ang racquet ng badminton...
nasa taas ko rin ang cross-stitched last supper...
may printer sa harap ko...
naamoy ko ang pamilyar na amoy na to...

in short nasa bahay na ako...
yung bahay na buong buhay mong kinalakhan...
buong buhay mong inamoy-amoy..
kung saan ka buong buhay natutulog..
kung saan ka naglalaro nung mga kabataan mo...

mali..

tahanan pala...
tahanan kung saan nadama mo ang bawat palo ng nanay at tatay mo...
tahanan kung saan napuno ang iyong kamusmusan...
tahanan kung saan mo unang napanood si Blue Blink at doraemon...
tahanan kung saan ka rin nakadama ng walang-hanggang pagmamahal
tahanan kung saan masarap ang Milo at Bear brand
tahanan kung saan napaso ang mga kamay mo habang nagluluto...
tahanan kung saan ang pinto ay laging bukas at naghihintay para sa'yo
tahanan kung saan pinili kong lisanin tatlong taon nang nakakaraan, ngunit patuloy paring babalik-balikan...

haay..there's no place like home...

magandang gabi!

Humana!

yey! tapos na ang 3rd year! yipee! haha vacation na!

Laura Esquivel and some chocolates

I went out by myself last Sunday. I went to Victoria to eat and stroll...

I decided to treat myself with chocolates. I forgot that i had the book Andie lend me the other day inside my bag.

The book was Like water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel. The first time I heard the book was when my english 13 prof gave us the list of books we were going to make as a book report. But i never got to read or even see what the book was...So i was quite thrilled when Andie lend it to me...She had the latest printed copy and i think it was brand new...

So off I strolled...

After buying myself some supplies...i went to the booksale...It has been a ritual for me that whenever I go to malls, I'll drop by to booksales or bookstores...

I was scanning through the books and then I saw it...

"What was that green book that looks exactly like what i have inside my bag?!?"

"Am i hallucinating..is this the real thing...?"

Waah! I was shocked to see the book in the booksale! The same book i have...which costs really cheap! so cheap! waaah! Talk about luck..hahaha

So i bought it...Though it made me a little bit guilty because I got to spend the whole of my allowance for the week...Well, I still do believe that books are still go investments..

Haha...so another good buy for me!=)

So i started reading the book while eating some of the treats I bought to treat myself..

Life is great!=)

Endless Faith

I am practically in love with this song..

It won the best in contemporary group in Awit..

The song is literally playing inside my head for the past three days now...

I LOVE the SONG!

i wish i can share it with you..but i just can't upload it because we are still working on its copyright...

I'll share the lyrics na lang...

Verse 1

I’m not tired
Walking in this world while I’m blind
When I’m lost and alone all alone
I’m not tired
Searching
I feel the fire inside my bones
When I’m down and I’m lonely
That’s because I’m a man I’m a man
But You said that there was something inside of
Like the wind blows

Chorus 1
And now
Here’s my shoulder
Stronger and stronger
Give me that cross and I’ll be
I’ll be You

Verse 2
I touch Your wounds
I know that’s me
That’s because I’m a man, I’m a man
And I’m here to pay all the thing You’ve done

Chorus 2
And now
Here’s my shoulder
Not that I’m stronger
Give me that cross and I’ll be

Bridge
As I walk down the aisle
I feel that nails in my hands
And I ask why
Is that because I’m a man

(Adlib)



(Repeat Chorus 1 2x)
I will tell you

Brother

My brother Ronald is celebrating his 22nd birthday tomorrow.

Tomorrow..he's gonna be three years, five months and five days older than me...he is always is...

Tomorrow...i believe, his cellphone, multiply and friendster will be bombarded with birthday greetings from random individuals i may not know of...i don't care...

Tomorrow...i believe, he will spend his day with his class and students or even with his girlfriend...or maybe (fingers-crossed!) with my family...

Tomorrow...if he's spending his birthday with my family that means with my mama, tatay, my Kuya Hero and li'l bro Nikko...maybe there's tito ray, tita helen, arde, ica and paulo...but no Pre..no hugs or kisses from his little sister...no text from his little sister...the only sister he has...

Tomorrow...his going to get older...

I wish i was closer with my brother..We grew up together..I remembered how many times we fought on silly things when we were growing up...

He is a nurse. I think he's proud of himself. I think my parents are too. But he doesn't know I'm proud of him too...I...me...his little sister..the only sister he got...

So this blog entry is dedicated to my brother..who doesn't know that even his little sister who's five hundrer miles away is proud that she has a crazy big brother...who never fails to cheer her up with donuts and munchkins...

I love you Kuya Doy..please don't settle down soon...I'm not gonna let you! Bleh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
