NEVER WORRY ABOUT LOSING IN THE END

Everything in life is about taking risks. Even closing your eyes to sleep is a risk because you don’t know if you can still open your eyes tomorrow. As far as taking risks are concerned, you may have fears, yet, you have to conquer them because by doing that, you grow and improve as a person. Never worry about losing in the end because at the end of the day, it won’t be about winning, it will all be about how great the feeling is knowing you have given your best!...

REMINISCING...

LATER tonight, after office work, magsu-swimming kaming mag-o-officemate... ang saya! But it doesn't mean ay wala kaming pasok kinabukasan, meron pa rin po. Ang mangyayari lang, magsu-swimming kami ng gabi, pagdating ng Sunday morning, balik office para sa trabaho. Limited ang time kaya pagdating sa resort, swim agad... because every second counts! (parang StarStruck)
.
Anyway... this Saturday, pagdating sa office, tune-in agad ako sa 96.3 W Rock, my favorite Radio Station. And all the songs na naririnig ko pagbukas ko ng radio, lahat, it reminds me of some things before *wink* and narito ang ilan sa mga songs na narinig ko na-reminisce ko ang past (naks)...
.
YOU'RE A PART OF ME by Anne Murray
First song na ako mismo ang nag-burn then ipinanregalo, kanino? Secret *blush*

.
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away

.
STITCHES AND BURNS by Fra Lippo Lippi
This song reminds me of my board mates when I was in college.
Ito 'yung song na madalas katahin noon... as in paggising mo pa lang sa umaga, naririnig ko na 'yung mga board mates namin na tumutugtog ng gitara at ito ang kinakanta...

.
Now I don't want to see you any more
Don't want to be the one to play your game
Not even if you smile your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me darling please.

.

LATER by Fra Lippo Lippi
The first song na narinig ko na nag-walkout ako sa trabaho... hahaha

.

It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset, later than the rain
Later than I never to love you again

.

THROUGH THE YEARS by Kenny Rogers
My song for my parents!

Ito 'yung song noong graduation namin noong college nang bigyan ng tribute 'yung mga parents ng mga graduates.

I love this song so much. Sa sobrang kagustuhan ko sa song na 'to, nagawa ko na siyang sayawin... hahaha

Ask Malaya about the steps.

.

Through the years, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you... through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

.
While doing this post, naka-tune in pa rin ako sa W Rock, Light Rock request with Paul and Cherry... at may question na gusto kong sagutin bilang ending ng post na 'to... the question is... WHAT IS YOUR TOP FIVE BREAK UP SONGS?

.

And my top 5 break up songs...

1. Later by Fra Lippo Lippi

2. Stitches and Burns by Fra Lippo Lippi

3. I'll be Over You by Toto

4. Is there Something by Cristopher Cross

5. Almost Over You by Sheena Easton

.

HAPPY WEEKEND!

FRIENDSHIP IS LIKE A PRECIOUS FLOWER

ROSE Cactus... Sasha gave me this last January if am not mistaken (Si Malaya may Rose Cactus din galing din kay Sasha). Ito ang kasama ko ngayon sa room ko. Nakapatong siya sa isang white round monoblock, right side ng bed. Sounds weird, but yes, kinakausap ko siya (pero please lang, 'wag sana siyang sumagot).
.
Before I close my eyes at night, and when the morning comes, isa siya sa mga nakikita ko kaagad. And even when pondering things at night, sa kanya ako nakatitig. Kapag naglalaba ako, ibinababa ko rin siya, inilalagay ko siya sa basin na may water, doon siya nagsu-swimming. (super sa bonding)
.
Last Holy Week, gusto ko siyang iuwi rin sa Pampanga pero 'di ko ginawa, kasi baka mapitpit siya sa biyahe. Sounds funny dahil nagbilin ako sa kanya nang iwan ko siya na bantayan ang kuwarto, saka mga gamit ko at saka mag-ingat siya... ngek! Pagbalik ko naman ng city after the Holy Week, pagpasok ko sa room... in a cheerful and excited voice, sabi ko... "hello, kumusta ka na?" Huh?! Even me, nagulat sa naging reaksiyon ko sa pagbati nang ganu’n sa plant... shaiks, ganu'n na ako ka-close sa plant na 'to.
.
Sa iba, yes, it's just an ordinary plant... but not to me. To be honest, the first day na ibigay sa akin ang plant na 'to, I told my self na aalagaan ko siya. Not because kailangan talaga siyang alagaan dahil kung hindi, mamamatay siya. But also, dahil bigay siya ng isang kaibigan.
.
To me, taking care of this plant also means taking care of the friendship between me and the person who gave this to me. Kaya naman effort kung effort ang pag-aalaga ko sa plant na ito. And surprise... may small plant na tumubo sa side niya... yup, another Rose Cactus!

.
Friendship is like a precious flower

Ready to bloom every hour.

LENTEN ACTIVITIES

HOLY Wednesday night, after office work, umuwi na ako ng Pampanga, two days kasing walang pasok, Holy Thursday at Good Friday. Pero bago umuwi, chill muna sa SM North Edsa, sa Ice Monster with Malaya, Valerie, Tita Linda at Hanne. 9:00pm na when we decided na magsiuwi na dahil Pampanga pa nga ako uuwi, unlike them na dito lang sa Metro.
.
10:30 na ng gabi nang makasakay ako ng bus... may goodness, sobrang siksikan talaga, ordinary bus na nasakyan ko at nakatayo pa ako (shaiks... walang nagpaupo sa akin, ‘di umubra ganda ng lola ninyo). 12:00 midnight na nang makarating ako sa bahay, though gabing-gabi na, 'di naman ako masyadong natakot. Kasi, kapag ganitong okasyon, sa lugar namin, may mga club o samahan sa buong bayan na nagpa-Pabasa at sa amin, may Pabasa rin... Samahang Kapit Bahay-Catholic Youth Club o SKB-CYC.
.

Holy Thursday, Bisita Iglesia with the Macabebe Parish Choir o MPC! Ehem... 'di po ako member ng MPC, friends ko sila kaya kasama ko sila sa nasabing Bisita Iglesia... narito ang mga Simbahan na aming pinuntahan.

.

Around 11:00pm nang matapos ang aming pagbi-Bisita Iglesia, recharge para sa susunod na activity... THE VIA CRUSIS!

.

12:00 midnight nang mag-start ang Via Crusis, kasama ko pa rin ang mga taga-MPC at around 2:30am na nang makauwi ng bahay. Malayo ang narating ko noong Holy Thursday, pero 'di ko masyadong naramdaman ang pagod, dahil in-offer ko buong sarili ko sa mga activity na ito. And I fell so blessed.

.

Good Friday, procession with the family naman. Malayong lakaran, pero oks lang din... walang reklamo.

.

Black Saturday... may pasok na kami. But after office work, umuwi pa rin ako ng Pampanga, hoping na makahahabol sa SALUBONG... but I failed! Anyway, nakita naman ni Lord ang effort ko para makahabol. Kaya 'yun, sunday morning na ako nagsimba bago bumalik ng city.

.

HAPPY EASTER!
