Last Song Syndrome

A dear friend of mine shared me this song and well...it's nice...very nice actually.


One and Only You – Parokya ni Edgar

It took one look
And forever laid out in front of me
One smile and I died
Only to be revived by you

There i was
Thought i had everything figured out
Goes to show just how much i know
’bout the way life plays out…

Chorus:

I take one step away
but i find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you…ooh…

Now i know

That i know not a thing at all
Except the fact that i am yours
And that you are mine

Ooh

They told me that this wouldn’t be easy
And no
I’m not one to complain…

(Chorus 2X)

YOU..

Happy Christmas

May the Christmas season Fill your home with peace, Your heart with happiness And your life with the best of everything.

It’s the time of love, It’s the time of peace, It’s the time of happiness, It’s Christmas time, for one and all!

I Wish that the good times and treasures of today Transform into the golden memories of tomorrow and inspire you always strive for perfection, in whatever you do Merry Christmas!

Let your Christmas sparkle with moments of togetherness, laughter and joy And may the year ahead be filled to the brim, with happiness and contentment. Wish you a Merry Christmas.

As you enjoy the food, deck up every nook and corner of your home and celebrate the togetherness... Hoping that the joy and festivities, continue in your lives, long after Christmas is over Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Let the feeling of love Softly fill our hearts and minds. 


A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year… These make a Merry Christmas!

Simply Thankful

Our campus minister, who happened to be also my dear Spanish instructor, told me that being thankful to the littlest things in life will help me make a 360-degree turn, in terms of my perception of life. Being thankful for the clean air, for the tap water that reaches our  home, for the decent meals I share with my family in our dinner table, these things are often overlooked when appreciating life.

Many times, I have complained about the trivial things like the heat, the difficulties of learning to speak Spanish, NJ’s “toy installations” in the living room, the sweat and the remains of a good meal on my collar and pants. I always find it easy to complain about things, which sometimes makes me feel a bit discontented about my life. Although I have all the things I needed to thrive, I seem to have acquired a habit of complaining. This Christmas, I want to be more appreciative and thankful for everything that God has given me. I am thankful for the love that people has bestowed upon me. I am thankful for the true friendship that strengthened me. I am thankful for the people who have wronged me deeply, because they convinced me that somehow some way, God exacts justice where it is needed be, because in the end, I was the one who ended up polished and gleaming and happy. Things simply go back to where they belong. No matter how much difficulty, hardship or pain I have suffered, what’s important is the person that these things made me become – stronger, driven, better, though a bit feisty.

I have learned to look at the good things that come out of the bad things. I have learned to see hope in frustration. I have seen consequences with offenses. I have seen fairness.  For all these things, I am thankful.

A voc- A - bulary Lesson

I just got bored and so I thought of doing some vocabulary exercises using urban dictionary... so you know, I can learn some colloquial terms... then I thought of looking up this word I always hear from people who are angry, furious or mad at someone. I always hear this word...so I got my little fingers working and this is what I found...


"An A-hole is the worst kind of person. You cannot fully construct a meaning that fully encompasses what this vicious insult means. If you're an asshole, you are disgusting, loathsome, vile, distasteful, wrathful, belligerent, agoraphobic, and more. Assholes are human fecal matter. They are the lowest of the low. They transcend all forms of immorality. It is the very worst of insults; to be called an asshole is to have your very soul ripped apart and shat on. I say that the word "asshole" is the worst cuss word in the english language, worst than f*ck, sh*t, and c*nt combined."


-Eric Melech


take this TEST to know how much of an A-hole you are ... or NOT!

Mumbling

Sometimes, when I am surrounded by pure quiet, I think about how I made my life become as it is. I wonder how those years came by and changed what and how I perceive myself. In all those years, I have gained strength, courage, tiny bit maturity and other things I wish I can put into words. I just naturally learned to compartmentalize my life - file those memories I want to hold on, memories I cherish, and lock away the memories that I wish never to remember. I even thought if I had offended somebody. I wondered if I may have caused them pain and despair, deep enough to turn things or lose some part of them along the way. All I can do is hope, because I know the feeling of the one being hurt and changed forever.

One thing I like about aging is realizing that not all laws of nature apply in actual life. Sometimes, there’s no need to retaliate. Sometimes, there’s no need to act. Sometimes, there’s no need to fight. Because sometimes, time comes when all things wrong become right and everything that cannot be done will become a possibility. 

Fearless

Don’t be afraid when facing uncertainties. Look at it as a challenge that will give room for you to shine on your own. Do not allow second thoughts to cloud what a wonderful person you are. Never underestimate what you can do and what you can be. Avoid second guessing yourself. Just put your head on what you want to do with your life, stake your direction, pursue your aspirations and charge forward, strong and dignified, armed with sheer courage to protect what is meant to be yours. Own your life. Do not allow anyone to say or direct you to doing anything. You only have to answer for your life, you are the only one who has the power over it. Don’t let anybody else rule it for you. OWN IT! Live it! It is the only one you’ve got. 

Heavy Load

Sometimes, in life, people either leave or are left behind. This is a normal part of life. It is easy to be hurt and be sad when we are the ones being left by the people who matter in our lives. On the other hand, people who leave either feel relieved or numb from the loneliness and emptiness that they are bound to face...

Friendships, love, relationships...leaving...these are normal parts of life. The load of dealing with life sometimes becomes too heavy to bear, and we need to shed some load to move on. Sometimes, we are compelled to make compromises to make situations in life bearable. I'd like to think that the time I spend with the people who mattered in my life is one that they will carry on...I hope that the memories I have built with them is something that they will always keep close to their hearts... that even when distance separated me from these people, I will always be remembered, I will always matter.

So when I meet these people once again, it's just like old times... no matter how we've changed.
