My Best Friend’s Wedding

December 15, 2011 Love and Relationship 2 comments

St. Michael's Cathedral

After  a year of intentionally not attending weddings (for a very personal reason), here comes this day that I couldn’t say “NO” to a couple. When my best friend told me his getting married, I immediately told him I might not come, he knows why of course, coz there’s just something in wedding ceremonies and programs that kills me inside. But my bff is shrewd (cleverness through deceit according to Gek hehe, in bisaya “maro-is” hahaha  lols..) few weeks before the wedding he told me that I will be the master of ceremony on his wedding… I said “NO” again.. and then days before the wedding , cramming week, he messaged me and nagpakonsensya by telling me that he heard from a reliable source that I have the intention of not coming to his wedding, well honestly all of it is true, so he make it a point to meet me and meet with his mom to plan the program. I’m cornered, so what else can I do? so there I commit, I have to commit, I agreed to commit.

Candles for the Principal Sponsors

At the back of my head, I was thinking negatively about myself, all the what if’s in the world were there. But my heart is telling me, I have to do this for my best friend. And so the wedding day is here, I’m dressed decently (I hope), my friends from Cebu, Iligan and Manila came after missing 2 flights (lols), their office mates from CVG Cebu were there, their family and relatives were there to witness their I do’s and exchange of vows.

The Eucharist was held at the St. Michael’s Cathedral, followed by a celebration party at Mahogany Hills, Pala-o Iligan City. And I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that everything went really well.

The wedding invitation :)

There were challenges and misses of course, the choir seemed to be not prepared and the band didn’t follow the songs chosen by the couple but over all everything went well. The heavy rain didn’t ruin the party at all, the guest were cooperative and participative and most of all the newly wed couple  really had fun with their family and friends.

Grooms Mom Madam Teresita, bongga-ever-so-much! ; failed to take a pic of the Brides Mom, her outfit by the way is so cool... I want one of that Mommy Tasia! hehe

I had fun, seriously I did. And I’m happy to meet Madam’s expectations :) .

The MAN Who Can’t be Moved

November 16, 2011 Love and Relationship, Music Videos 19 comments

 

I have been LSS with this song for quiet a while. And I really digged on the lyrics and perhaps i dig on it too much that lead me to this emo post of questions.

Alright it’s been a year and probably I have been moved. However questions are rallying in my head on how the public reacts on situations differently between girls and boys, man and woman, ladies and gents when it comes to relationships , break ups and martyrdom.

If you’ll listen carefully to the lyrics you would probably be teary eyed while saying “gee he really love that girl so much” and would probably wish to have someone who would really do to you.  However, I was thinking would the public still have the same reaction if it was a girl who can’t be moved?

Like the lyrics would go ;

THE GIRL WHO CAN”T BE MOVED

Going back to the corner where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I’m not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this man can you tell him where I am

Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand
I’m not broke I’m just a broken hearted girl 
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I’m still  in love with you

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I’m not moving
I’m not moving

Policeman says girl you can’t stay here
I said there’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If he changes his mind this is the first place he will go

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I’m not moving
I’m not moving
I’m not moving
I’m not moving

People talk about the girl
Who’s waiting on a man, oh whoa
There are no holes in her shoes
But a big hole in her world

Maybe I’ll get famous as the girl who can’t be moved
And maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news
And you’ll come running to the corner
‘Cause you’ll know it’s just for you

I’m the girl who can’t be moved
I’m the girl who can’t be moved

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we meet
Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of the street

So I’m not moving
(‘Cause if one day you wake up, find that you’re missing me)
I’m not moving
(And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be)
I’m not moving
(Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet)
I’m not moving
(Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of the street)

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I’m not gonna move

Lyrics edited by me :)

Thanks for singing a long. But wether we accept it or not, having the persona changed by changing some words in the lyrics changes the way the song is being interpreted. Most of the time, people would say, “girl martyr ra kaau ka” (you’re so martyr!) or worst “girl, hwag kang tanga! move on”.  Unlike if it’s a “man” girls would usually sympathize to the man because of showing his love to the girl that he loved.

This is a girls perspective though judging it from my own experience. I wonder what would the male populations stand on this. Would they feel how much they are being loved by a girl after hearing “the girl who cant be moved”? or Agree with most of the female population that such act is a sign of stupidity and/or martyrdom?

Chapter 25 – Year of the emotional misery

October 11, 2010 Entertainment No comments

So I’m closing my chapter 25.

It has been my own tradition to look back and check on the highlights of my year that have passed. Was I able to reach my goals? Did I learn things along the way? What happened? Did I fail or did I succeed?

I simply want everything organized. I plan things ahead, sometimes too much. I work to reach my goals. My decisions should help me attain whatever I wanted for that specific year.

But somehow, I don’t want to look back at chapter 25, it was tragic, too painful, life threatening, stressful and draining. If I’ll give you only this, you would really think that it is a total failure. But of course, it’s not. I’ve learned so many things along the way as I traveled the chapter 25 of my life, but I learned it the hardest way. Too many things were lost, too many things were put into waste, too many people left and went on separate ways. As I look at chapter 25, everything seemed to be dark, gloomy and raining. I cried a river of tears, wasted a thousand of opportunities and lost literally every thing that I have.

I planned so many things for Chapter 25 but it seems like nothing came true. Here are a few;

  1. Enroll in UP MBA - took the exam; passed the panel interview; advised for admission — I’m almost there but something came up…
  2. Get a housing loan and get a house in Cebu - because of what happened last MAY 3, no chance of getting it anymore.
  3. Decided to live in Cebu for good - I no longer have my own room because everyone already thought I it will be us forever and will be staying in Cebu. But because of MAY 3 everything is gone and I’m back in Iligan.
  4. Make our relationship stronger and discuss future plans - oh yes we’ve envisioned a life together, even planned a trip or some work abroad together. Planned to buy so many things, even getting a house of our own. Even planning a life together. But everything ended like a bomb.

So what really happened?

  1. Got diagnosed for so many things that required me to stop working in the call center industry, not allowed to eat so many things, even do things that will upset every single cell in my body. — therefore, I can’t sing this song anymore ” every single cell in my body is happy, every single cell in my body is well.” hahahaha and it all started December of 2009.
  2. Had financial problems but I super thank God that everything is being taken cared of until now.
  3. May 3, 2010 bombing.
  4. May 13, 2010 tragedy.
  5. Back in Iligan City with nothing.
  6. Had a consultation with a Professional Psychologist.
  7. Lost my social life, but social networking life is so alive.
  8. Don’t feel like talking to anyone. Don’t want a company at all.
  9. I find joy in being alone, sulking, and torturing my self emotionally.
  10. I hate to see friends… I don’t want to talk to them, even chat with them.
  11. I keep myself isolated.

As I look at this list, I can see a different me this is not who I was, this i not what I wanted, this is not what I deserve. But as I try to think further I realize it isn’t bad at all. There were many things that happened in between that I am so thankful for and that I should be thankful for.

  1. I so much LOVE my family even more because all through this darkest moment of my life, they are always there, never judged, never left, and never traded me for something else.
  2. I so much LOVE my self more, for I realized i have been too busy caring for people that I have loved so much that I forgot to leave something for myself.
  3. I so much LOVE the friends, the real and true friends who has been with me, as I go through everything. Those friends who never left my side even though we are oceans apart.
  4. I so much thank and LOVE the people who continue to believe in me and keep pushing me further every time I so wanted to give up, when I used to say I don’t deserve this things.
  5. I so much LOVE and thank GOD for everything. For keeping me safe, for giving me this blessings that I have over looked. I so much thank God for this people that I have now. These people that I never thought would care for me, would love me and would understand me. I so much thank God for giving me another life and another year to repent and correct everything that had gone wrong.
  6. And most of all I so much thank JESUS for taking over my wheel and for slowly taking everything in place, the things that I deserve.
  7. This time, I no longer plan things ahead. I do everything wherever life will lead me. God has my wheel he will drive me to where I should be, who I should be with, where I belong and what I surely deserve.

Thanks for reading everyone… and I am officially welcoming you to Chapter 26.

Lord Bless everyone!

’til the next chow! – xyzaspeaks

She never thought she cared so much about those little hands

She never thought she cared so much about those little hands

I’m taking a chance, this could be different.

This could be all I’m waiting for.

I wanted to see something that’s different, something you said would change in me.

and as we travel this life…I want to be your last first kiss that you’ll ever have, for all time.

Do you remember when we were just kids,
and cardboard boxes took us miles from what we would miss?
School yard conversations taken to heart,
and laughter took the place of everything we knew we were not.

I want to break every clock.
the hands of time could never move again.
We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives.
Is it over now hey, hey is it over now?
I want to be your last first kiss
that you’ll ever have.
I want to be your last first kiss.

Amazing how life turns out, the way that it does.
We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love.

I want to break every clock.
the hands of time could never move again.
We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives.
Is it over now hey, hey is it over now?
I want to be your last first kiss
that you’ll ever have.
I want to be your last first kiss.

Is it over now hey, hey is it over now?
Is it over now hey, hey it’s not over now.
I want to be your last first kiss
that you’ll ever have.
I want to be your last first love
Lying here beside me with arms and eyes open wide,
I want to be your last first kiss
for all time.

One Life to Love

By 33 Miles

[cdokaytv]QF1Ezk21cDo[/cdokaytv]

Live life to the fullest. We only have one life to live and one life to love.

You only get just one time around

You only get one shot of this…

——————————–

One Life To Love Lyrics

He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand,
Until he started playing for a second chance,
If he could only do it all again,
He’d trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk,
For all he missed,
He tells his wife,
I wish that this moment in this room, was not me dying,
But just spending a little time with you

You only get just one time around,
You only get one shot at this,
One chance,
To find out,
The one thing that you don’t wanna miss,
One day when its all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough,
This one ride,
One try,
One life,
To love.

She never thought she cared so much about those little hands,
That held on tight the day she left,
Til she was scared to death,
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed,
The end of the road,
The sun has set on her big plans,
To feel young again,
She picks up the phone,
Dials the number,
Hears that little voice,
That’s haunted every single mile,
Since she made that choice,

You only get just one time around,
You only get one shot at this,
One chance,
To find out,
The one thing that you don’t wanna miss,
One day when its all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough,
This one ride,
One try,
One life,
To love.

You only get just one time around,
You only get one shot at this,
One chance,
To find out the one thing
That you don’t wanna miss,
One day when its all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough,
This one ride,
One try,
One life,
One ride,
One try,
One life,
To love,
To love,

Tell myself, on the ride home.

Getting tired, hating all I’ve known.
Holding on, like it’s all I have.
Count me out, when it’s clear that I, find it hard to say.
And you, find it hard to care.

I wanted to see something that’s different, something you said would change in me.
Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me.

Got this way, upfront but never true.
God I’m wrong, it’s just the way I am.
Crashing down, any chance you hear.
Caving in, any chance that you, could see inside of me.
And I don’t know what to say, It’s fine.
This isn’t Hollywood.
So fine, getting in your way.

I wanted to see something that’s different, something you said would change in me.
Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me.

I’m taking a chance, this could be different.
This could be all I’m waiting for.
Taking a chance, this could be different.
This could be all I’m waiting for.

I wanted to see something that’s different, something you said would change in me.
Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me.

Something that’s different
Something that’s different

Don’t cause them to sin

September 12, 2010 Inspirational No comments

When young Christian get abused — sexually, emotionally, or spiritually — it scars their memories, and they have a very difficult time separating the abuse from Jesus. Jesus’ family, if they allow such abuse, can turn the young and the tender of Jesus for life. No wonder Jesus warned so sternly against those who abuse the little ones by causing them to sin .

But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. – Matthew 18:6

And to my fellow Christians don’t cause other Christians or even non-christians to sin, just because they don’t have the same faith as you. For the bible said :

1 Corinthians 8:12 When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Thank You

Was replying to an email earlier and I didn’t notice that my tears started to fall. For once I was super duper ultra mega honest to a complete stranger. I just felt relieved and relaxed. Thank you Lord.

The long wait is over my Lord, I will be with you soonest. I apologize for the delay. But thank you for guiding me to your way.

For all Your goodness I will always say Thank You

In sickness and in health?!

I guess it’s no longer applicable to me. But some how come to think of it, this is the time where you can usually show your love, when you care and make sacrifices.

In sickness and in health? could be…
