The Hopeless Romantic In Me

Here I am again.  The hopeless romantic in me strikes again.  Just last Friday, we had a videoke session with my colleagues (hey! that was part of our "team-building activity". hehehe).

Anyway, due to public demand, a good-looking gentleman (i heard he is a Director-lawyer) hit the song, "Hanggang" by Wency Cornejo.  He sang it with such passion that my officemate was teary-eyed while I, well, I was trying not to be affected (hehehe).  The consequence?  To this day, that song kept ringing in my ears. :(

Here is the lyrics of that song:

Ilang ulit mo bang, itinatanong sakin
Kung hanggang saan, hanggang saan, hanggang kailan,
Hanggang kailan magtatagal,
Ang aking pagmamahal,
 
Hanggang may himig pa akong naririnig,
Dito sa aking daigdig
Hanggang may musika akong tinataglay
Ika'y iniibig
 
Giliw wag mo sanang isiping
Ikaw ay aking lilisanin
Di ko magagawang
Lumayo sayong piling
At nais kong malaman mo
Kung gaano kita kamahal
 
Hanggang ang diwa ko'y
Tanging sayo laan
Mamahalin kailanman
Hanggang pag ibig ko'y
Hanggang walang hanggan
Tanging ikaw lamang
 
Hanggang may himig pa akong naririnig
Dito sa aking daigdig
Hanggang may musika akong tinataglay
Ika'y iniibig
 
Giliw wag mo sanang isiping
Ikaw ay aking lilisanin
Di ko magagawang
Lumayo sayong piling
At nais kong malaman mo
Kung gaano kita kamahal
 
Hanggang may puso akong
Marunong magmahal
Na ang sinisigaw ay lagi ng ikaw
Hanggang saan hanggang kailan
Hanggang kailan kita mahal
Hanggang ang buhay ko'y
Kunin ng may kapal
 
Giliw wag mo sanang isipin
Ikaw ay aking lilisanin
Di ko magagawang
Lumayo sayong piling
Hanggang may pag ibig
Laging isisigaw, tanging ikaw
Hanggang may pag-ibig
Laging isisigaw, tanging ikaw

Good News! Good News! Good News!

Yesterday, my officemate informed me that her daughter passed the Nursing Licensure Examination conducted last June 2009. And as if the good news was not enough, just an hour ago, my boss disclosed that her son has passed the recently-held Architect Licensure Examination.

To view the complete list of passers, please click new nurses and/or new architects.

By the way, my professor has also passed the nc-4 programming examination given by TESDA just few weeks ago.

I can say, with deep sincerity, that I am happy and proud of the achievements of the people who, somehow, has become part of my life.

To the passers, kudos and God bless! :)

ben...

today would have marked the 69th birthday of my father, ben, short for buenaventura. i would like to believe that i was also papa's girl, next to my only sister. hehehe

please don't get me wrong. i was never jealous of my sister or any of my siblings. my papa had his special ways of letting me know that I was also his favorite child. i remember during my early childhood days when he would sit me on his lap. he would fondly call me, "bhalah", which he mimicked from me every time i was asked about my nickname. of course, i could not correctly pronounce "guia" then. (yeah, i know. i could not see the connection. hehehe)

to my papa, happy birthday. i love you very much. you will always be the best father in the world.

i hope to see you again, in God's time. :)

erratum...

i recently got a comment that the prior-to-plane-crash photos i previously posted in this blog was, accordingly, taken from the tv series, "lost".

i haven't confronted yet my colleague who emailed that article to me. he is still alive, and i have yet to strangle him. hehehe

seriously speaking, my sincere apologies if that were proven to be bogus pictures. i, too, am a victim of that misleading information.

but one thing is for sure, the gruesome agony leading to the tragic death of those passengers was.. unimaginable and could not even be realistically depicted in a tv series or captured in a camera.

My prayers for their soul...
