The Songs...

When RJ visited my blog site, he told me to post the lyrics of this song. RJ's a good friend of mine, ughh...a great friend should I say.. He happened to be my batch mate in my first job and we became friends. He's cool! We tried to sing this together during my despedida and we silently agreed that we won't sing together again! Hahaha! Instead of creating a good music we just generated a disgusting sound, an unwanted energy, a noise..=p

Okay, there's a story behind this song and I decided to keep it private..hehehe..

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
Don Henley

I dont wanna lose you,
I dont wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I dont wanna hate you
I dont wanna take you
But I dont wanna be the one to cry
That dont really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough

Now I could never change you
I dont wanna blame you
Baby you dont have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change

But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

And theres no way home
When its late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay

And theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they cant touch.
Theres a reason why people dont stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.

...but here's a song that really relates to what I feel right now:

So Close
Jon McLaughlin

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

2009 Wishlist - 2nd edition

Per Vic's request, here's my wish list for 2009:

But who's he anyway? Hmmm.. humbly speaking, he's one of the brightest and most respected engineering students during our time. A quizzer, a math geek who came from the outer world, a punk with a good handwriting and a classmate who forcefully convinced me to create a blog site. We do not belong to the same group of friends, we are not mutually related but he okay likes giving me exaggerated praises during our college days. Hehehe..

my 2009 wish list:

1. hmmm... mmmm... can i keep my number 1 wish? it's too personal and at the moment i don't have the courage to spill it..hehehe.. sorry., i'll let you know once it has been granted (or not..)

2. Good health for me and my family.

3. An electronic Bible - so i could bring it anywhere. My current Bible weighs almost 3/4 kilos. When I was preparing my things for my departure, to accommodate my Bible, I needed to limit the clothes etcetera that i had to bring so my baggage would not exceed to 15 kilos. But still it exceeded to i think 6 kilos..haha! and the worse, they charged me Php564.00 per kilo..so I had to pay 3,300+ when I checked-in the baggage.. I only had 5,000 Peso Bill in my wallet that time and I still need to pay the terminal fee (Php600) and travel tax fee (Php1,620) prior to my departure. So i asked the cashier ano if they're accepting Singapore dollar (because I had all my money converted into SGD) but unfortunately they're just accepting USD and Php... =,c

Good thing my mom was still at the waiting terminal so I went outside and asked for additional peso..the best talaga si mama =p..

Going back, i googled this stuff and it's current price costs 160 USD.. waaahh.. almost Php8000.. but i think it's worth the price of feeding my soul.. =D

My current Bible is the third one. I gave my first Bible (I owned it for 8 years) to Marrah for her birthday..she has been pleading me to give it to her during our PERC days. I cried when I gave it to her..hehe.. but I know she'll take good care of that treasure.. After that, I bought a new one at Powerbooks in megamall but I left it when I went back to my home province. I called my mom and asked her to send it to me via LBC but she told me my brother already owned it.."wala na, dinala ni Ronron sa dorm nya".. =,c

So I had no choice but to buy a new one again..I bought it at Robinson's pioneer.. I just realized it's bulky so I decided that my 4th Bible has to be the electronic one =p..

4. An iphone. I'm not a gadget freak. But i want an iphone!

5. A head band to hold my hair..hehe...

6. A Canon EOS 50D camera to capture the moments.. My friends know I'm a picture addict.

7. A flipflop. And it must be pink =p

8. 1 year supply of tissue paper. hehehe!

9. A laptop - cure for insomnia

10. A brand new car! hehe.. feels like i must have to save my salary forever to buy a new one...sige second hand nalang..hahaha!

11. A recipe book. This is a must.

12. An ocean! hehehe.. i need to learn how to swim.. =p

13. A castle (=';'=)...

I know they are too much =p.. but they're just wishes.. they're just desires.. having them not granted (except of course for wish #2) are fine with me..

A Retrospect: A Great 2008

2008 has been a fantastic year for me. I woke up this morning counting all the blessings I received in the past 12 months and I realized that God has been soooo cool that He kept on surprising me. My experience throughout the year has proven that the Big Guy up there is really interested in everything about you-from what you need to what you want..I may sound like a little preachy here but I just can't help it! Of course it was not a plainly smooth and happy journey, but the past year has truly been smashing..
