That's All Lyrics

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter night
That's all,
That's all.

There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.

a life of continuous wandering.....

Whenever I think of my life in my present company, I always keep thinking of this song. I'm living a life of constant change... often wandering... until i have no more idea of what direction I will go. It seems that no friendships are deeply-rooted and there's no place which we can call home.

To my friend Dario, may you find the life and the world where you want to settle. :-)



CONSTANT CHANGE
(Jose Mari Chan)

We're on the road, we move from place to place,
And oftentimes when I'm about to call it home,
We'd have to move along, life is a constant change.

The friends we know, we meet along the way,
Too soon the times we share, form part of yesterday,
Cause life's a constant change, and nothing stays the same,
Oh no

Clouds that move across the skies,
Are changing form before our very eyes.

Why couldn't we keep time from moving on?
Hold on to all the years before this moments gone,
Why must we live the days at such a frightening pace?

We're all like clouds that move across the skies,
And changing form before our very eyes..

Have we outgrown our peter pans and wings?
We've simply grown too old for tales of knights and kings,
Cause life's a constant change, and nothing stays the same.
Oh no..

one glorious week!!!!

wow! i can't believe it! i was actually able to go to Boracay!!!! and i was with no less that a good friend of mine. He's Dario, a long-lost friend. Kumbaga, nagkatagpo sa isang malayong lugar, tapos nagkani-kaniyang tahak ng landas. Tapos, after 5 years, nagkatagpo ulit! Akalain mo nga naman ang pagkakataon! Parang, nagkataon, nagkatagpo... may meaning nga ba ang lahat ng ito? hehehe, who knows, di ba?

sobrang high talaga ako that week. I was able to learn a lot from this person. And I realized na ang laki pala ng mundo! There are a lot of new things to learn, new beautiful things to appreciate, new opportunities to explore. Pero shempre, hindi ko pa rin dapat kalimutan ang roots ko. Ako'y isang Pinoy at kaya kong gawin ang lahat para magtagumpay ako.

Sa totoo lang, in those 5 days, napamahal na ata sa akin ang taong ito. Ang dami kong na-realize sa kanya. I have learned that no matter what your nationality is, you should be proud of yourself. You should never lose your self-respect. God has given you a lot of talents and unique traits, so you should never lose your identity, no matter what happens.

I also wish to go to other places, especially with my family. Hmm,let's see... probably a trip to Hong Kong or Bangkok or Singapore will do the trick. Hehehe, my mom will like that, lalo na't may mga promo ngayon ang Cebu Pacific. ;-) As for me, I want to visit Roma, Milano, Venezia, and Firenze... plus Athens. As to when I'll be able to do that, only time will tell. :-S

If last week was a high point, this week might be a low point. Well, for one, I'm not sure when I'll see Dario again. Buti kung bumalik nga yun dito, o kung makapunta ako sa Milan. Hehehe, who knows, di ba? Another low point is, waaahhh, trabaho na naman!!! Back to reality! Haayyy,, sana ma-transform ko ang feeling na ito from doing it out of duty to do ing it out of LOVE.... ang hirap di ba? Well, may God always give me the grace to last each day and finish each with flying colors.... :-)

Standing Up for What is Right.....

I really love this song! It's so inspiring, lalo na nung kinanta siya sa Hangad Concert for Gawad Kalinga. It's really alarming to see children being abandoned everywhere, it's a wonder why some parents can bear to leave their children in the streets... they simply don't deserve that.


DESTINY'S CHILD LYRICS

Stand Up For Love


[Beyonce]
There are times I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such trouble times
And every child that reaches out
For someone to hold
For one moment
They become my own

And how can I pretend that I don't know
What's going on?
When every second
And every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering

Then we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up
And here me sing
Stand up
For love

[Kelly]
Im inspired
And hope
For each and everyday
That's how I know that things are going to change
So how can I pretend that I don't know
What's going on?
When every second
And every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering

If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up
For love

[Michelle]
And it all starts right here
And it starts right now
One person stand up man!
And the rest will follow
From the forgotten
And From the Unloved

Im gonna sing this song,

And I believe
That in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering

If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up
for life
stand up
and sing
Stand up
For love

I wish to see You......

I'd like to share the lyrics of the song which we just learned in our choir yesterday. It's about our faith and love for Jesus even if we don't see and touch Him.


Without Seeing You



Refrain:
Without seeing You we love You.
Without touching You we embrace.
Without knowing You we follow.
Without seeing You we believe.

Verse 1:
We return to You deep within, leave the past to the dust.
Turn to you with tears and fasting, You are ready to forgive. (Refrain)

Verse 2:
The sparrow will find a home near to You oh God.
How happy we who dwell with You, forever in Your house. (Refrain)

Verse 3:
For You are our shepherd there is nothing that we need.
In green pastures we will find our way, in waters of peace. (Refrain)



This is also somewhat related to the Gospel yesterday about Jesus prophesying His death. His famous words: "Unless a wheat falls into the ground and dies, he remains to be a wheat; but if it falls and dies, it will bear much fruit." But what struck me in the Gospel was the desire of the Greeks to see Jesus. "We wish to see Jesus."

May we always have the desire to see Jesus. But for now, may we always have that faith in Jesus, even if we do not see Him. May we always feel His embrace, even if we cannot touch Him.
