melancholy...
a certain sadness
touching my soul
fleeting...
time like sand
slipped through
so fast
so far gone now
memories are all that's left behind

wishful thinking
i wish i have wings
to fly freely like a bird
reaching heights unreachable by the human eye
seeing sights unseen from where i stand...
i wish i have wings
to swim up on the clouds...
the wind like waves
on the sea washing upon me....

wistful me... 希望你在想我
i guess sometimes
we get too caught up in our daily
routines...
forgetting that life is but a temporary thing...
i do think of you
with every waking moment
each and every day...
i may forget to tell you this
but you're always in my heart wherever i am...
i am thinking of you...
忠明, 希望你在想我...

There You'll Be....
When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
[CHORUS:]
In my dreams
I'll always see your soul
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
[Repeat chorus]
'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always
[Repeat chorus]

The Fairytale of Queen Anne's Lace And The Bee
There For Me
[Sarah:]
There for me, every time I've been away
Will you be there for me, thinking of me everyday
Are you my destiny, words I never dared to say
Will you be there for me?
Just think of you and me, we could never tow the line
It's such a mystery just to hear you say you're mine
And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me
[Josh:]
When you're feeling cold and all the city streets are grey
Walking all alone and watching how the children play
Voices in the wind and faces from the past go dancing by
They're asking why
[Sarah and Josh:]
Will you be there for me, everytime I go away
Will you be there for me, thinking of me everyday
Are you my destiny, words I never dared to say
Will you be there for me?
[Sarah:]
And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me
[Josh:]
Can you really want me more than for a little while?
What are the stories hiding there behind your smile?
Wishes in a dream and figures in a world that I could share
And everywhere
[Sarah and Josh:]
Will you be there for me
Will there ever come a day when all the world can see
Things were meant to be that way
Will you be there for me?
Can you hear the people say
That you're just
There for me
[Josh:]
There for me
[Sarah:]
There for me...
as seen in my flickr contact Paul's stream...

"kung gusto mong lumigaya ang iyong buhay,
humanap ka ng panget at ibigin mong tunay"
-Andrew E.
hahaha according to Robert (rareimages by shutterburgher), who by the way is the person in this picture, he looks ugly here... but according to a ditty that was once so popular in the Philippines, having a "panget" in one's life is equivalent to pure bliss. = )
seriously, this is one of the guys i know who brings sunshine when there is rain.

relativity
an evocative photo... reminds me of my childhood, when things are all simple, where black is black and white is white....
and then there was five....
time does fly so fast, what used to be a little kitten is now a mommy cat. = ) we now have 4 little kittens roaming every which way they can inside our home... quite messy indeed... but seeing my kids' enthusiasm with these little things, it's all worth it.

on letting go
By T. D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The Bible said that, They came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us.
For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.
It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains
LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth.....
LET IT GO!!! If someone has angered you
LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge
LET IT GO!!! If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction
LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents
LET IT GO!!! If you have a bad attitude
LET IT GO!!! If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better
LET IT GO!!! If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him
LET IT GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship
LET IT GO!!! If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves
LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling depressed and stressed
LET IT GO!!! If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to......
LET IT GO!!! Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2007!!!
LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!
*do you think i'm sexy????*
this kitty cat gave birth to four little kittens = )
all bundles of joy...
all bundles of joy...

The Beauty Of A Woman
Author: Unknown
The beauty of a woman Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
With passing years only grows.

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love for in the
face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in
sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself
with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue
and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul.
With all its shams, drudgery,
and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
- Max Ehrmann
Bubu, 4 months have passed since you've been gone.... i still miss you... sometimes, life is really unfair...

don't be afraid
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle"
Beautifully Stated:
As we grow up,
we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once
and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast,
and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much,
and love like you've never been hurt because
every sixty seconds you spend upset
is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
