Sa Piling Nya
Paramita

Ngayon na ang huling paalam
Sayo, aking mahal sa'ting nakaraan
Ibibigay sayo ang kailangan mo
Mula ngayon ika'y malaya na
Malaya na

Hindi na maibabalik
Ang dating masayang pagsasama
Mahirap nang pilitin pa
Ngayon ika'y handa ko nang palayain

Tangi kong dasal
Ang ika'y lumigaya sa piling nya
'Di ako hahadlang sa inyong pagmamahalan
'Di umimiik, dumadaing nang palihim

Mahal pa rin kita
Hindi mo ba nadidinig
Ang puso kong naninimdim
O giliw ko, ako'y para lang sa iyo

Unti unti ko nang nalilimutan
Ang ating makulay na nakaraan
Ang aking tanging bilin sayo
Alalahanin mong ikaw at ako
Ikaw at ako

Tangi kong dasal
Ang ika'y lumigaya sa piling nya
'Di ako hahadlang sa inyong pagmamahalan
O paalam na sa'ting dalawa
Ang iyong ngiti ang nasa aking alaala
Alaala

Tadhana
Paramita

Ako ay may lihim sa iyo aking mahal
Mahirap man sabihin ko na ika'y aking iiwan
Sa aking pag-alis, 'wag kang malulumbay
Pangako mo sa akin na hindi ka na maghihintay

Ang aking buhay
(Sa iyo pa rin ibibigay)
Ang aking buhay
(Sa iyo pa rin iaalay)

Nais ko na ika'y muling magmahal nang tunay
Pakinggan ang aking dalangin
Sa tuwing ako'y iyong maaalala
Huwag kang luluha, ito ang ating tadhana

Anyone Else But You
The Moldy Peaches
Juno OST

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my MP3, DVD, rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Don Quijote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you

All I Want Is You
Barry Louis Polisar
Juno OST

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float. 

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Take A Bow
Rihanna

How 'bout a round of applause?
Standin' ovation

You look so dumb right now
Standin' outside my house
Tryin' to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please
Just cut it out

Don't tell me you're sorry,
Cause you're not,
And baby when I know,
You're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show.
Really had me goin'
But now it's time to go,
Curtain's finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone
You better hurry up,
Before the sprinklers come on
Talkin 'bout,
'Girl I love you, you're the one.'
This just looks like a re-run
Please
What else is on?

And don't tell me you're sorry,
Cause you're not.
Baby when I know,
You're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin'
But now it's time to go,
Curtain's finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

And the award for the best lie goes to you!
For makin' me believe
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech

How 'bout a round of applause?
Standin' ovation

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin'
But now it's time to go,
Curtain's finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now

Yesterday, she chose to drive alone--no radio, no cellphone, no nothing.

Listen 
To the song here in my heart 
A melody I start but can't complete 

Listen 
To the sound from deep within 
It's only beginning to find release 

Oh the time has come for my dreams to be heard 
They will not be pushed aside and turned 
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen 

Listen 
I am alone at a crossroads 
I'm not at home in my own home 
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind 
You should have known - 

Oh 

Now I'm done believing you 
You don't know what I'm feeling 
I'm more than what you made of me 
I followed the voice you gave to me 
But now I've gotta find my own 
You should have listened 

There is someone here inside 
Someone I thought had died so long ago 
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams will be heard 
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own all 'cause you won't listen 

Listen 
I am alone at a crossroads 
I'm not at home in my own home 
And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind 
You should have know 

Oh, now I'm done believing you 
You don't know what I'm feeling 
I'm more than what you made of me 
I followed the voice you gave to me 
But now I've gotta find my own 

I don't know where I belong 
But I'll be moving on 
If you don't, if you won't 

Listen 
To the song here in my heart 
A melody I start 
But I will complete - 

Oh 

Now I'm done believing you 
You dont know what I'm feeling 
I'm more than what you made of me 
I followed the voice you think you gave to me 
But now I gotta find my own 
My own

Got this from my Mom. She sent it to my mail this morning. Very timing...

***

A lecturer, while explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked,
"How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued,

"And that's the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
as the burden becomes increasingly heavy,
we won't be able to carry on. "

"As with the glass of water,
you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don't carry it home.
You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you're carrying now,
So, my friend, put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while."

Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
and some days you're the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet,
just in case you have to eat them.

Always read stuff that will make you look good
if you die in the middle of it.

Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
recalled by their Maker.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to others.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

The second mouse gets the cheese.

When everything's coming your way,
you're in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.

You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
I have done this one many, many times.

"The sweetness of a person will make you happy, but it will bring confusion if you will see the same person with the same sweetness with someone else."

"Always make your absence felt in such a way that somebody misses you, but let not your absence be so long that somebody starts learning to live without you."

"There will come a point in your life when you'll get tired of chasing everyone, trying to fix everything. It's not giving up, it's just a realization that you don't need all those whom you went after, because what you need are those who stood by you even if you never asked for them."

"Stop worrying about the 'what if's'. Things will happen if they are meant to happen. Feel the fear, but face it anyway."

"Ano namang mapapala mo sa kaiisip sa nakaraan at sa mga pwede pang mangyari? Wala ka naman sigurong super powers para maibalik ang nakalipas na. Dapat matuto kang pahalagahan ang mga nangyayari sayo sa kasalukuyan. Isipin mo ngayon. I-enjoy mo lang ang buhay. 'Wag kang emo. Hindi ka talaga magiging masaya kung hindi mo tutulungan ang sarili mo. Natural lang na makaramdam ng lungkot paminsan-minsan pero ang pagiging miserable? 'Wag kang hibang, choice mo yan."

"Sometimes all we need in life is to tell whatever it is that we have inside. We just need to let it out then let it go. Whatever the consequences, we just have to be brave enough to stand up for our feelings. No one said life is easy, but we shouldn't make it a lot harder. Besides, life is too short.  So do what your heart tells you. Stop thinking, stop worrying. Just keep this in mind: You might not have second chances, so spill it out then embrace mo yan."

"If we cannot be grateful for what we have received, then let us at least be thankful for what we have been spared from."

"REALITY OF FEAR: You're not scared of the dark; you're scared of what's in it. You're not afraid of heights; you're afraid of falling. You're not afraid of people around you; you're just afraid of rejection. You're not afraid to love; you're just afraid of not being loved back. And you're not afraid to try again; you're just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason."

"80/20 RULE: In most realtionships, you're only going to get 80% of what you need. No more, no less. Now, here comes another person offering 20%. Now, 20% looks real good when you are not getting it, but the problem is you're going to leave 80% thinking you get something better, and you end up with 20%. You do the math." --from "Why Did I Get Married?"

"Ang tenga kapag pinagdikit, korteng puso. Extension ng puso ang tenga kaya kapag marunong kang makinig, marunong kang magmahal." --Bob Ong

"Every relationship, even friendship, is bound to fall apart when you start keeping things. Secrets don't destroy anything, suspicion does."

 

 

How to hide a broken heart

At sometime or another, it is a cross we will have to bear. It is at times like these that you need the Bee Gees, and a box of tissues.

            There is no telling how you will get over a broken heart, or if indeed you ever will. Different people, different ways. There is no fixed time-frame either. Sorry.

            The best thing to do is to allow a few days to wallow, to see if they come back on a white horse with flowers, apology and ring.

            Be wary of wallowing alone, it is very unhealthy. For every night of wallow, prescribe three nights out.

Lines not to fall for

‘Let’s just be friends.’ Impossible if they broke your heart. Why prolong the agony? Say you’ll think about it, and call them, maybe, in a few years.

‘I value our friendship too much to date you.’ Bastard. They don’t love you, never have, don’t even find you attractive. Move on. They’ll prevent you from meeting THE ONE—and make you miserable in the process.

‘I love you, but I can’t be with you.’ A coward. Walk away; even if you paid for them to shrink, it is still an impossible and exhausting situation.

‘You’ll always have a piece in my heart.’ True. Save the violins, stamp on it. Let them regret losing you.

‘It’s just was the wrong time, wrong place.’ The ONLY ‘it was wrong time/place’ was in Casablanca, which does not apply here. Poor excuse.

‘I’m sorry. Can we try again?’ How many times have you heard this before? Be honest. Once? Shame on them. Twice or more? Shame on you.

Some things are just not meant to be. Sometimes you grow apart, move on. You’ve tried, it didn’t work, learn and leave. Try to find someone who will appreciate you. Don’t kill each other’s chances of happiness and waste years on something that will never happen.

             Be honest. Be tough. Ask yourself: where do I see myself in ten years? What do I want to have achieved? What kind of person do I have to be with? What kind of person will encourage me to be the kind of person I most want to be?

            Anyway, you think you’ve got problems, pick up Romeo and Juliet and their dire situation makes everything pale in comparison. Take comfort in the fact that falling in and out of love is never out of fashion.

            Above all, believe in true love and know that men are like shoes. A couple is like a left and a right foot, and out there is your perfect fit. Sometimes you need to change styles and shop around to find it. Sometimes you have to break styles in, sometimes you like something unstylish but comfortable, and sometimes a style—as much as you like it—just doesn’t suit you and will never fit.

            Literary quotes may help, such as:

            ‘’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,’ from Tennyson, or the less literary ones of Miss Piggy: ‘Only time can heal your broken heart, just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.’

            Take solace in slushy movies from Sleepless in Seattle to Wuthering Heights. Distract yourself, and learn all the words to Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’. If all this doesn’t drive you out of the house, nothing will.

            But all the best fairy stories end ‘they lived happily ever after. . .’ And so will you; and if not, you can buy yourself an awful lot of Manolos while trying.

Depending on your circumstances you could always, in extreme cases, consider:

            Moving countries; Paris nearly worked for Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina.

            Changing phone numbers.

            Deleting the details or locking all contact info of the offending party in secure,

                        hidden place.

            Changing job.

            Changing hairstyle.

            Rearranging the flat. If you shared, change the locks.

            Removing every trace of them from view so you are not living with

                        constant reminders.

            Booking a holiday.

            Starting a new hobby.

            Joining a gym, or starting to go to the gym you are a member of.

            Doing thins you NEVER did with them.

            Going to new areas or places of interest.

            Rationing yourself to thinking of them for only twenty minutes a day,

                        and gradually decreasing.

            Banning yourself from talking about them to friends.

            Not dwelling on the past.

            And if all else fails: therapy—retail therapy.

"It's better if someone doesn't recognize your existence rather than having a person who knows you exist yet gives you no worth."


"Never listen to people who have the bad habit of being negative because they steal the best aspirations of your heart. Always remind yourself of the power of the words that we hear or read. Always choose to listen only to words that will empower you to be better."


"Worrying has never solved a problem, never paid a bill, never cured an illness. Worrying is like racing a car engine in neutral because it doesn't get you anywhere, it just uses up gas! So stop worrying. All you need is a prayer and a heartful of faith."

In my life, I never tried to impress someone for them to like me because when I do, I will have to keep that image for the rest of my life and it's hard to pretend to be somebody else. I may not be that close to perfection like other people do but, who cares? It's not them whom I live for anyway. What matters is that I know myself and I know how I look like inside and out; and I'm worth it. This is me. As what they say, "If you can't handle my worst, then you don't deserve my best."


"I always pretend to be happy. Talking a lot ang laughing out loud so that nobody would know what's really inside. But at the end of the day, I always find myself all alone, encountering the crucial truth. That I'm hurting too much inside and that not even a million laughter can take it away."

"Better not to mind the thing that depresses you because it only
makes you weak inside and out. There's a lot of things you can
give your time into. Don't get stuck with the thing that ruins your
day. Be happy and stay happy."

"It is wiser to be alone and happy than with somebody who does nothing
but to make you feel stupid."

"We choose how we see people. When we want to like someone, we can be
tolerant. When we want to be irritated by people, we focus on their
faults. It's not other people's behavior that determines how we feel
about them--it's our attitude." --Optimus Prime

"Have you ever noticed that the more special you treat someone,
the more that someone takes you for granted? It's likely because they
think you won't ever change."

"You cannot hold onto something that wants to go. You just got to love
it while you got it, and that's it."

"It's the silence that tells it all. Sometimes it's not about the
yelling and the tears. All it takes is for two people to sit beside
each other and feel that something is wrong, that what was there
before isn't there anymore. That they're miserable when they're apart
but they're much worse when they're together. And that there's only
two options left: Either they sit still and ignore the pain, or one
of them gathers enough courage to stand up and walk away..."

"You must take pleasure in pain inflicted by people who can't seem to
get a life. They live to criticize every inch of you, when in fact
every little flaw they see hits them with pangs of jealousy for the
reason that even if you're a little stained, they hopelessly ask
themselves, 'How in the world does she make it look just perfect?'"
