Stuck in love




Doing the Sunday shift tonight in the office, couldn't be more exciting knowing there's only two people including me to work on a Sunday Night. Mostly my Sundays were spent chatting with friends, bonding with my family, going to church or just a regular talk with a good friend. It was a routine to end the day going to bed but today is an exception. This is not about complaining of coming to work on a Sunday Night but for a fact since not much thing to do I was able to watch a such spectacular movie to make the night more meaningful. A tear jerker atleast for me; It was about the wife's broken promise and the husband keeping his. A daughter wounded love for her mother, and a son finding his writing skills in a journey of his youth. Nevertheless the story practically evolve focusing on the family how one find each love, passion and journey by getting "stuck in love". Its really heart warming, emotionally striking for someone who once in their lifetime got bitten by the same love tragedy. But this movie portrayed how inviolable love should be, knowing that even in the most distressing situation. People can get lost but the most important thing is to welcome them back, when they finally find their way home. I like what Stephen King said:




"The most important thing is
The hardest to say"
~ Stephen King ~




Watching the movie, taught me that loving a person doesn't always mean staying in love with them when love is reciprocated but get stuck in love. Knowing that if they once choose to wait for you, they will always come back. "Hate the sin, but not the sinner". To keep the commitment you once made even if one choose to let go. Loving needs to be unconditional, which distinct it from merely concerning or longing. To love is to give, without receiving. To be "stuck in love" is just simply loving despite anything. You just choose to care, understand and to keep loving nothing less.




I Won't Love You Any Less


If you make me stay outside
For a glance that lasts the night,
If you put me in distress,
I won't love you any less.
I won't love you any less.

If you twist my fragile heart,
And it breaks into pieces in the dark,
If you leave a dangerous mess,
I won't love you any less.
I won't love you any less.

If I try to hold your hand,
If I try to make you bend,
If you start callin' me obsessed,
I won't love you any less.
I won't love you any less.

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la laaa,
Sha la la la.

When I'm old and grey,
I've got no wings but you've flown away,
You've put me at quite a test,
But I won't love you any less.
No, I won't love you any less.

Butterfly


Butterfly


Walking on a way home,
Walking on the same path.
A road of sunny and gay,
Now gloomy and sad.

I must have slept and miss my stop,
but I was wide awake  with it on my lap.
A radiant glow on my face,
Which lost after may day.

Pleasures of once knowing,
Binds my heart that is burning.
How can a butterfly hurts?
And stings in my hands.

I never believe what was said,
cause' I know better than plead.
There's more to love than to brag,
In the end, it will all come out.

In the garden, to see.
Butterfly flies so free.
To choose where to go.
To choose where to be.




....I couldn't came up with a better introduction for this poem I just created but it's just one of those randomness days that I can create poems such as this. I have never known such feeling of wanting to be in the same moment but different time. Wherein you can possibly do whatever you can so freely like a butterfly....





I leave you with a song I had on my background while writing this poem,

Bangon Pilipinas












It's heart breaking the situation in Tacloban, dead people everywhere but left unburied. Hungry survivors with no shelter to sleep. Bruised children wearing dirty clothes and no slippers on their feet. It's too painful to watch news lately and words are not even enough to express such sorrow and tragedy. Although its amazing how people all over different countries reach their helping hands towards the Philippines and thankful to all the kind souls who donated, extend their prayers and even came here to take part and volunteer. From the bottom of my Pinoy Heart;




"Maraming maraming salamat po"
which means "Thank you, very much" .







Many of you might also feel that our government could have done better and I couldn't agree more but no one is to blame. Nobody wants what had happened in Tacloban. But our country was not prepared for such hulking calamity. I think being among the third world country, this is what you could expect but this does not mean we are not improving. I am deeply saddened by the recent news and I'm compelled to urge the government to realize Yolanda came for a purpose although devastating that the lives of many had to suffer. There is still hope for the Philippine government and I believe "Babangon ang Pilipinas". For the President, "CHANGE is POSSIBLE". A more HONEST and LOVING SERVICE among the Filipinos disregard past conflicts and work for the common good. Focus on the "real issue" and not political gain. Learning from these experiences is good but people need action for such crisis. If the nation's ordinary people can measure great ways to implement rescue and emergency management the government must know it all at first hand. Officials can learn a lot from volunteers, giving without asking, ready and so eager to be use for the sole purpose of helping the needy even if the only thing they can take home is "JOY" of knowing even for a minute they have serve their purpose to make this nation a better place and for us its more than enough. 



Here a video of Tacloban then and now...

For you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble."

The Filipino Spirit Is Waterproof






These past few days maybe you have heard about the "Super Typhoon" Yolanda that hit our country and had caused tremendous damage to my mother's hometown Tacloban, Leyte. It was devastating to see how vastly damage it is. My heart breaks for the many people who have lost their loved ones. I haven't heard from some of my relatives living there and still praying for their safety and hoping all of those who have survived will find food, shelter and comfort. In this time of great need, I'm hopeful that soon this too shall pass. Our country have experienced the worst typhoon ever known yet still standing. If there is one thing I'm truly proud of my fellow Filipinos would be their capacity to withstand trials with a glowing spirit. To be generous despite lacking, happiness in times of despair, and a hope during discouragements. Unites as one in every part of the world and if you are one of my "kababayans" you would understand when I say let's "kapit bisig" there is no exact words to describe it in English but I think the closest would be "To hold  each others arms" and "Sujetar los brazos" in Spanish. It's now a known way of living when every one unite to do their part in helping each member of the family who needed help. For me, the best way to really help is by volunteering but nowadays there are tons of ways to extend our hands even in a distance.


Sharing to you some of the organizations I am part of:

1. UNICEF
3. ABS-CBN


Come and join me to help the needy like what Mother Teresa once said:




“It's not how much we give 
but how much love we put into giving.” 
― Mother Teresa





Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and let's continue to pray for all the people of the Visayas region. Praying that people who have lost will find comfort, to those who have not yet been found may find peace, and to those who have survived will find joy despite of what had happened. The joy of knowing that God has given them another lifetime to live.

Chasing Cars

I was listening to this song "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol and I got hooked. I have heard it way back but it never made sense to me. I guess one of the ways to appreciate a good song is when at a given moment you can somehow relate to its meaning. Despite the tragedy of what is happening you choose to see the good side of things and no matter how unrealistic things may seem you still think somehow it could work ergo "Chasing Cars".


"Chasing Cars"


We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Dream

It's been a while since I wrote something here, but life changing experiences always is to blame. I can never say that it's all for the better but all I know was I learned new things. This is probably the most random blog I could write for this year. Well, I guess I didn't wrote a lot for this year to include this one. Anyways, I woke up this morning and I feel soulful like I always been. If there's any change in my life that I would really be proud of? Is my choice of music. Music has always been there for me, bless my parents for my name. I'm really starting to love it. But I always change my choice of music depending on the mood it sets me. Today is one of them. I am up for a poem I guess the first to be posted out of the many I have written. This will be a treat for someone I know.

Dream

In the past months, I have been out in the world.
Lost in the silence of the noisy streets.
I have felt sorrow and happiness
Both at the same time.

Couldn't explain but couldn't hide.
It was raining of black and white.
It doesn't feel cold nor warm either.
Only sound of gushing time.

I hear you but nowhere to find.
I feel you but you're never here.
I can't see you but I know you were near.
Woke up in my bed, it was just a dream.

You were just a dream.
Unreal a fantasy built in my head.
Lies of the past experiences.
But the one I would like to  keep.







Redemption

....Fallen short of life treachery, lies and deception. Intrigued by gossips, cheating and envy. When everyone wants a piece of you and drowned by their eyes around you. There's always redemption....






REDEMPTION
Artist: The Strange Familiar
Composers: Kira Leyden, Jeff Andrea, Nicholas Sainato

The night is slowly closing
But my eyes are slowly opened
And I see that somewhere in you
There is a good heart
There is a good soul

For everyone lost in the silence
For every one missing piece
For every will that is broken
No matter how dark it may be
There is redemption

I feel the threat of thunder
But this rain can't last forever
The light chases the dark
Where there's a good heart
There is a good soul

For everyone lost in the silence
For every one missing piece
For every will that is broken
No matter how dark it may be
There is redemption
There is redemption

Oh oh oh

For everyone lost in the silence
There is redemption

For everyone lost in the silence
For every one missing piece
For every will that is broken
No matter how dark it may be
There is redemption
There is redemption

What if?



Dear Claire,

What and If are two words 
as non - threatening as words can be. 
But put them together side - by - side
 and they have the power to haunt you 
for the rest of your life. 
What if... What if? What if? 
I don't know how your story ended. 
But if what you felt then was true love? 
then its never too late.
 If it's true then why wouldn't be true now? 
You only need courage to follow your heart. 
I don't know what alove like Juliet's was like. 
A love to leave one's love for, 
a love to cross ocean's for. 
But I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it 
that I'd have the courage to sees it. 
And Claire if you didn't 
I hope one day that you will.


- Letters to Juliet 





.... I re - watched the movie "Letters to Juliet" today and I can't help but fall in love with it again. I know someone who does not believe in "Love Stories" as portrayed on movies, at some point I can agree but watching a love story happens leave you hope. A longing for a love story of your own. It doesn't have to be as romantic or as compelling but it just have to be "your own" creative love story. I believe in destiny or God's will, allowing God to take control of your life in order for Him to align you to His will. Believe that when you choose to search for True love, you will definitely find it.... 



I leave you with Claire's Speech on her wedding day...

It Takes A Man and A Woman





It Takes A Man And A Woman lyrics

Well it just takes a star to get up so high
One touch of blue to paint up the sky
And it only takes a master of art
To paint a mother and child

Well it just takes the dawn to wake up the sun
One lullaby they do picked on
But these wondrous things
Aint got what it takes to make two hearts beat as one

It takes a man and a woman and one magic moment
To know their in heaven
It takes a man and a woman to feel what we’re feelin’
And aint it a miracle that you’d take a woman like me
To love a man like you

Well it just takes a rainbow river to flow
Just take something up to catch you a rainbow
And if you got some time and a ladder to climb
You’ll find the rainbows end

Well it just takes some notes to write a song
La, la, la, la, to sing along
But since Adam and Eve when feelings get strong
To do what comes naturally

It takes a man and a woman and one magic moment
To know their in heaven
It takes a man and a woman to feel what we’re feelin’
And aint it a miracle that you’d take a woman like me
To love a man like you

It takes a man and a woman and one magic moment
To know their in heaven
It takes a man and a woman to feel what we’re feelin’
And aint it a miracle that you’d take a woman like me
To love a man like you



...... Sometimes all you need is a magic moment to realize you love a person but it only takes a man and a woman to do it. Sometimes the best message are the ones that comes straight from the heart. You don't need anyone to point it out to you.You just know and will let the person know too. Nothing will separate you from seeing him/her and even if people say you're foolish, you continue to love the person anyway. Until finally love reach others hearts....

If You Ever Change Your Mind


There was once a time
When I thought of no one else but you
You'd look into my eyes
And I'd see the whole world
In front of me

We were perfect for each other
No one else would dare compare, no
Thought that we were steadfast
But feelings don't last
Oh no, no

But if you ever change your mind,
Don't you dare come back to me cryin'
I want you back again
'Cause oh what we had was more than fine
I needed someone who would love me
More than he loved himself

You said you'd never lie
That you'd never make me cry, my dear
Did you mean every word you said
Or were you messin' with my head
All these years

Were we perfect for each other
Or was this all just pretend, ohh?
Seems it ended so fast
But feelings don't last, oh no, no

But if you ever change your mind
Don't you dare come back to me cryin'
I want you back again
'Cause oh what we had was more than fine
I needed someone who would love me
More than he loved himself
More than he loved himself
Himself, himself

But if you ever change your mind
Don't you dare come back to me cryin'
I want you back again
'Cause oh what we had was more than fine
I needed someone who would love me
More than he loved himself
