Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová (Once) -
"Falling Slowly" (Cover)

I don't know you

But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've make it now

Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And wounds that take me
And erase me
And I'm painted black

Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've make it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
Loud

lovin' this song ..my kind of video ad "thank you for the gift of today" #hoorayfortoday

Stay a little longer in bed
Keep the covers over my head...
But a new day is calling
Morning is coming...

Thank you
For the break of day,
My favorite song,
For lighting my way,
The world I belong...

But most of all
Thank you for the gift of today.
I've got a brand new day.
And to that I say, hooray for today.

It's my story...it's my LIFE :)

Saw this illustration from a  cool blog fabafterforty...and immediately... I was drawn to her articles and illustrations....I myself am turning 40 next month ... and it's such an amazing ride....One can only say... "yeah you've been there.,, you've done that.".. :) I'm happy with my life decisions...I know that some will always be asking why the hell did she do  that...what made her decide to end things..  etc.etc.....well maybe for the simple reason that after years and years of hoping... praying... and understanding the situation..it gets tiring...not only your mind...not only your body... but your heart was drained :(  For now I can only say that Everything Happens for a Reason... and I'm so blessed that God gave me a second chance to be alive again... to feel loved...and be in love....the plot of my life story suddenly changed (it felt more lighter...the mood became happier)...and I'm hopeful that this change will be the start of a more positive life ahead of us...2013 has been good to me... please 2014 continue the good vibes...livinlifehappy :)

thank you for the gift of new beginnings...

I just wanna start my 2014 by sharing my short stories... my little victories ..my new beginnings...:)
God is good...All the time :)

my son's new school ;)

UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS

4th of June 2012...Woke up early Qatar time just to check my son's first day in college...being a graduate of  UST...  I've always dreamt that my son will also have the chance to go to this university...and believe me dreams really do come true.... I hope that he will have the courage & strenght to face all the challenges that college life has to offer...I hope that he will be wise enough to choose the right friends... I hope that he enjoys his life while being a responsible student..... :)  I love you kuya...you always make me happy :)

2:03 am (saturday) can't sleep... thinking of my family back home... :(

SAD DAY FOR JAPAN and the whole world.....

SAD DAY FOR JAPAN and the whole world..

Just fisnished reading updates about Japan's TSUNAMI and 8.9 magnitude earthquake... with death tolls rising over thousands...people who we're in that situation might just be having a regular day when the monster earthquake shook them... and in a glimpse..too many lives were lost...shelters washed away..way of living crushed...future changed... :( Things like this makes you think that even the most prepared country for disasters such as  JAPAN can never predict natures way of reminding us that we should BE MORE CAREFUL how we handle mother earth.... In times like this... you will also think of the more important things in life.... like time off with your family more...appreciating friends and things around us.... because at the end of the day you'll really never know what is ahead of you...today I promise to Hug my kids more... to love and understand my husband more... to keep in touch with my friends more.. to be more relaxed and be happy...to do more good things to people... to practice more random acts of kindness to different people...to be more ready to face GOD...Because what I saw in the news last night.. it was some kind of a wake up call for me also...I SHOULD NOT WASTE MY TIME WORRYING ABOUT THINGS....  I should be enjoying things around me now...

and problems or no problems tragedies like these are bound to happen but atleast I could say... I had lived a full life... loved my family MORE...and made God proud of me while I'm here....

A reminder of the important things in life

happy international womans day...

Sometimes the strongest women are the ones who love beyond all faults...

cry behind closed doors...

 & fight battles yet they don't brag about it....

Happy International womans day to all of my fun fearless female friends:)

missin' my family ...

I miss my family back home...
Missed the non-stop kwentuhan with my sisters..Ikot- ikot ..kape kape...
seeing my cute pamangkins... tumambay sa mga tindahan namin...mag bantay sa  trucking ni daddy...videoke sa makati ave...megamall window shopping...
tiendesitas... greenhills tiangge...
visiting my dad sa Evergreen...
simpleng usapan with mom... mga barkada sa pinas...san roque church... pork chop...spam... hays...na ho-homesick ata ako.... Sana matuloy uwi ko sa pasko 2011...I really need sometime with my family and friends...nakaka burn out na din mag work..
