I'LL BE THERE...

.
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight to be with you
Because I'm on your side and I still care
I may have died but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me
And I'll be there

COINCIDENT OR WHAT?

IT'S raining outside!
Wanna share this one, ako rin hanggang ngayon nag-iisip kung bakit ganito, coincident ba or what?
Mula ng magtrabaho ako rito sa city, every week pinipilit kong umuwi ng province. At sa loob ng tatlong taon o halos four years na, you know what, everytime na lang na uuwi ako ng province, mostly, umuulan, promise! Bibihira lang talaga na hindi umuulan kapag uuwi ako ng probinsiya. Basta laging may ulan. Minsan nga, kapag sinasabi ko sa aking mga officemate ako na uuwi ako ng probinsiya kinabukasan, lagi nilang sinasabi na "uuwi ka bukas, ah, uulan 'yan bukas" at bihira nga silang magkamali, dahil umuulan nga. Minsan, kahit maganda ang araw sa umaga, pagdating ng gabi na uuwi na ako ng province, bigla na lang umuulan. Ngayon, biruan na namin dito kapag uuwi ako ng province, "Wendy uuwi ka ba?" at kapag sinabi kong "oo," sinasabi nila na "kaya naman pala umuulan, eh, uuwi ka!" O kaya naman, "Wendy uuwi ka, Mamu, umuulan, the curse!" — "The curse" na bansag kasi nga madalas na umuulan kapag umuuwi ako ng province.
Heto pa, kung 'yung iba ay nahihirapang sumakay kapag umuulan, ako naman, no joke, ang bilis kong makasakay, walang kahirap-hirap. One more, kapag umuulan, I feel so light and lucky, I don't know why, may kaugnayan kaya rito ang pagiging under ko sa zodiac sign na Scorpio na under naman element na water? I dont' know.
Anyway... I'll be out for two days at ngayon, uuwi ako ng province and guess what... umuulan!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and yet you can never have them. When the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips, you miss them?
.
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most; saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had?
.
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish them, words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in your head... to no more than living size when they are brought out.
.
Don't be afraid to tell someone you love him or her. If you do, they might break your heart...but if you don't, you might break theirs.
.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person?
.
Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own... when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to.
.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you?
.
Too many of us stay walled because we are too afraid to care too much... for fear that the other person does not care as much, or at all.
.
Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever? Or fell for your best-friend in the entire world, and then sat around and watched him/her fall for someone else?
.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?
.
We tell lies when we are afraid… afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie.... the thing we fear grows stronger.
.
Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have, or could have had. No one waits forever!

CRY...

.
I don't want to hear that song again,
from the night we first met
I don't want to hear you whispering,
things I'd rather forget...
.
I'D FALL OVER AGAIN
Dan Hill
.
A song from Dan Hill na halos paiyakin ako this morning here in my work place.
Iyakin akong tao, I admit it! Mababaw ang luha ko… sobra! I do cry a lot particularly kapag masama ang loob ko, nasaktan ako, napagalitan, nalungkot, may nami-miss at kapag galit ako. Sounds funny… pero kapag nanonood din ako ng mga movie na drama… ‘di malayong umiyak ako.
Anyway… this morning, the song I'D FALL OVER AGAIN by Dan Hill… Nasa layout ako nang marinig ko ito, and since alam ko ‘yung kanta, basta sinabayan ko hanggang sa napalakas ang aking pagkanta pagdating sa chorus (oks lang dahil tatlo pa lang kami dito dept. namin kaya wala masyadong makakarinig). Then my friend Fhaye, kumanta rin at nagkatinginan kami sabay sabi niya “Mamu, may emosyon,” then we laughed.
Bumalik ako sa desk ko at habang sinasabayan ang kanta, may naalala ako years ago and then nalungkot at may na-miss kasi ako... then naramdaman ko na lang na nangingilid na ang luha sa aking mata until… sh*t… naiiyak ako?! Bumaling ako kay Fhaye saka sinabi sa kanya na “Mamu may emosyon nga, naiiyak ako,” sabay punas sa luha ko bago pa tuluyang bumagsak at tawa ako nang tawa (huh?! parang baliw yata ako noon, umiiyak tapos tumatawa.)
Pag-iyak... it helps a lot to release pain, sadness, burdens, emotions and what so ever. It’s better to cry rather than to keep stuffs na magpapabigat sa buhay mo, right? ‘Yung mga bagay na ‘di kayang tumbasan ng salita, may luhang pantapat dito. Ang tuwa o ligaya, puwede ring iluha… luha na ang bahala sa mga ‘di kayang ilabas ng bibig!
.
PS
Have a nice day!

TEARS IN HEAVEN

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven

RIGHT PLACE

HELLO work world! Yup, after two days vacation, balik ulit dito sa office para sa maraming trabaho. Whew... dalawang araw akong nawala... marami raw akong na-missed sa opisina!
I was out for two days... isinama ako ng pinsan kong si Edward sa kanilang company outing last Saturday and Sunday. So wento muna ako about the outing... it goes something like this...
Since nakasama ko na ang mga officemates ng pinsan ko sa kanilang company outing last year, at oks silang kasama... cool ang lahat, especially his boss, that's why when he invited me again, sumama ako!
Saturday morning, nang sunduin ako ng cousin ko sa Cubao, then biyahe kami papuntang Laguna (sa Laguna kasi nagtatrabaho pinsan ko). Moving forward... lunch time na nang makarating kami sa office nila sa Cabuyao, Laguna at dinatnan namin ang lahat na nagla-lunch na. After the kumustahan/hello/hi/ngitian/pakilala at kuwentuhan blues, 'yun kain na rin ang cousin ko, at ako, 'di na ako kumain, busog pa kasi ako.
Around 1:00pm nang tumulak kami papuntang Batangas... sa Matabungkay! Sarap ng byahe... ang saya! I feel so light habang ang binabagtas ang kalsada patungo sa aming destinasyon... ang ganda ng view, especially, the Taal Volcano, 'yup, dumaan kami roon... sarap talagang mapalapit sa nature. Papalayo na ako sa siyudad at papalayo na rin sa ilang mga bagay na gumugulo sa aking isip... yes... break muna sa mga bagay na nagpapaikut-ikot sa aking puso at isip. And after the two hours (yata) na biyahe, nakarating din kami... and wow... ito hinahanap ko... DAGAT! Umaalon, malakas ang hangin, malamig ang tubig, mainit ang sikat ng araw, ang sarap ng dampi nito sa balat, masaya/maingay ang mga tao pero sa kabila nito, makararamdam ka ng kakampantehan upang muni-munihin ang ilang bagay... RIGHT PLACE FOR ME!
Ang saya ng outing... non-stop ang kantahan (gusto ko sanang kumanta kaso 'di naman nila ako pinilit kaya 'wag na lang... Joke!), sayawan (hinila ako ni Miss Rica para sumayaw kaso, nahiya ako), tawanan at siyempre, pati pagkain Lahat masaya, wala kang makikitang 'di tumatawa, tila ba nang mga oras/araw na 'yun ay walang problema ang mga taong naroon. Dala na rin ng espiritu ng alak, may mga kumakanta na iba na ang lyrics, may sumasayaw na lumalambitin pa sa cottage at ito ang kakaiba... may lumalangoy sa buhangin!
Sa may dalampasigan, dama ko init mula sa bonfire, habang nakatitig sa apoy nito, dinig ko ang hampas ng tubig ng dagat sa dalampasigan, inisa-isa kong sagutin ang ilang mga tanong ko sa aking sarili. Ilan sa mga ito ay may sagot at may ilan din naman na katahimikan lang ang tugon upang maintindihan ko ang ibig sabihin nito. Pagkatapos ng sandaling 'yun, bumalik na ako sa cottage at doon nagpatuloy ng pagmumuni-muni hanggang sa dapuan na rin ako ng antok at pumasok na sa loob.
Kinaumagahan... walang patid na kasiyahan, kainan, tawanan pa rin ang nagaganap. Pagkatapos mag-almusal, 'yun na... sa tamang init ng araw, damhin na ang tubig ng dagat! Basa na ako sa tubig-dagat, dama ko na rin ang init ng araw... sa isang bamboo raft sa may dagat, doon ako nakatayo, kasama ang ilang kaopisina ng aking pinsan. Habang nakatanaw sa malayo, habang unti-unting nanunuot sa aking balat ang tumitinding init ng araw, unti-unti ko na ring tinanggap sa aking sarili ang ilang mga bagay... mga isiping nagpapaikut-ikot sa isip ko, mga tanong na matagal ng may sagot, pagtanggap na lang naman ang kulang upang matapos na. Pagkatapos ng sandaling ito... dive agad sa tubig! So nice talagang maramdaman ang nature!
Bago kami umalis doon, somehow, nakapag-release ako ng damdamin kahit alon lang sa dagat ang nakarinig at least, sure ako na 'di ipagsasabi ng dagat ang sinabi ko sa kanya.
Around 6:00pm nang makabalik ako sa manila... salamat sa mga taga-ILP!

IS THERE SOMETHING

.
Is there something I can do to reach you?
Are we something more than history?
If there's no way to convince you to stay
And be the way we used to be
Then there's something that I want to tell you
And I want you to believe it's true
We had something that I'll never forget
Even if I wanted to
'Cause part of me will always be with you
.
