Why I Walked Away...

One article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer, entitled, "Why JLo walked away", dated today, August 5, 2011, caught my attention and pondered on JLo's words, quoted as follows:

"Sometimes we don't realize that we are compromising ourselves.  To understand that a person is not good for you, or that the person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself If I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me.  I love myself enough to walk away from that now." (underscoring mine)

And I agree... :(

Office Suspended, Again!

Just this week, the government has declared suspension of office twice already.  And the first time, I was not able to go home as early as I could due to that coffee scandal (grrrr!).  This time, I won't be able to go home at all.. not until tomorrow.  Blame it to the same reason (and to P-Noy!). :(

My only consolation however is that we have just been provided with a hotel room accommodation for an overnight stay here.  Good thing, I brought with me my ipad.  Bad thing though, I didn't bring my charger.  Huhuhu.  Hope it can still last through the night. :(

Gotta go. I have to finish all these dirty paperworks as early as I can.  I'll be indulging to a bit taste of luxury later! :)

Thank you for the flowers...

You just can't imagine how much I appreciate you... your innate goodness... your thoughtfulness.. your sweetness... and more importantly, your being you...

It's more than just flowers... and you know what I mean...

I love you very much... I'll hold on to what we have promised to each other that there's no turning back... and it's gonna be us... just the two of us (no 3rd party please!)... till the end...

Even If...

I am posting an excerpt of this song today, July 1, 2011, which coincided with the occasion of the Feast of Sacred Heart of Jesus.

All those sleepless nights
All the tears I cried
All the pain I kept inside
I keep asking myself why
You had to say goodbye

Was it just a dream
When you said to me
That there is someone new in your life
You could have at least lied
The truth just killed me.

Even if you mean the whole damn world to me
I can forget you wait and see
I can be strong even without you

I can't waste my life forever hoping

You'll come back to me

Talk About Second Chances..

From the song:  Never Gonna Let You Go

I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm living
But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word and tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Looking back now it seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh, you gave it all and I took it for granted
But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flicker of love that still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances

Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Oh, so if you'll just say you want me too
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go
Hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Oh.. So if you'll just say..
You want me too..

Because You Loved Me..

This song always fascinates me.  It reminds me of the the movie, "Up Close & Personal" which I watched on big screen almost 15 years ago...

Because You Loved Me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

A Gift...

Today, June 29, 2011, would have been the 37th wedding anniversary of my parents...

And it's almost 12 years now since my father's death...

But until now, I could still feel that my father is still watching over my mother...

Must it be father's great love for his beloved wife..


Just this morning, I got a call from somebody...

It was good news to mama, a wonderful wedding anniversary gift to her...

I'm sure it must be thru the intercession of papa...

From above...

May God bless papa's soul...
