You Changed My Life In A Moment

The nights the sky was filled with clouds
My worried mind was filled with fear
I couldn't count all the lonely hours
Spent with memories and tears

I never thought I would see the day
When I could throw all my sorrow away
But then you came and you showed me the way
You have made all those times disappear

CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone (is gone...is gone...is gone...)

I never thought that I could change
Could change so much in so many ways
I'm still surprised when I look in my mirror
To see that I still look the same

CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone

(You changed my life in a moment)
You changed my life
(And I'll never be the same again)
I'll never be the same
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone

(You changed my life in a moment)
Gone...gone..
In a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone...

Maybe I hang around here a little more than I should We both know I got somewhere else to go But I got something to tell you that I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know I love you I honestly love you
You don't have to answer, I see it in your eyes Maybe it was better left unsaidBut this is pure and simple, and you must realise That it's comin' from my heart and not my head I love you
I honestly love youI'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable I'm not tryin' to make you anything at all But this feeling doesn't come along every day And you shouldn't blow the chance when you've got the chance to say I love you I love you I honestly love you
If we both were born in another place and time This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours, and here I am with mine So I guess we'll just be leavin' it at this I love you I honestly love you I honestly love you

gee..

he's a certified bachelor, anyway!

picture!picture!

one hello

One Hello

If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
of beautiful things
Its a chance you'll take
A chance you'll win
If someone gonna find you
First you gotta let them in

Coz love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now its easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might really love or lose your heart

If you're not afraid
Of what you feel
Then try and keep it simple
Or try and keep it real
And if being real means
You'll some day say goodbye
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you know
And it starts with one hello

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you know
And it starts with one hello
It starts with one hello

a glimpse of forever

all i wanna do...is grow old with you...

weak

I don't know what it is that you've done to me
But it's caused me to act in such a crazy way
Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing
It's a feeling that I want to stay
'Cuz my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of lovin' you on my mind
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause and cure is you, you


I get so weak in the knees
I can hardly speak, I lose all control
Then somethin' takes over me
In a daze, your love's so amazing
It's not a phase
I want you to stay with me, by my side
I swallow my pride
Your love is so sweet, it knocks me right off of my feet
Can't explain why your lovin' makes me weak


Time after time after time I've tried to fight it
But your love is strong, it keeps on holdin' on
Resistance is down when you're around, pride's fading
In my condition I don't want to be alone
'Cuz my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of lovin' you on my mind
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause and cure is you, you

I've tried hard to fight it
No way can I deny it
Your love's so sweet
It knocks me off my feet


I get so weak
Blood starts racing through my veins
I get so weak
Boy it's somethin' I can't explain
I get so weak
Somethin' 'bout the way you do the things you're din'
Knocks me right off of my feet
Can't explain why your lovin' makes me weak

that song!!!

heheh, never thought this would hit me hard!

------------------

You treat me so bad, you always do
i get so down but when i think of losing you
i’d rather be here

If you took the chance on me to stay
i’ll never let you get away
so won’t you be true to your heart?

just be true to your heart, yeah!

You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

You, I cant find the words to let you know
that i’ll never let you go
i’ll hold you tight to show you
oh, what i really mean, yeah

You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

you win the game…
yeah …yeah

You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

You win the game, you have no shame
but it only makes me want you more
you win the game, you are to blame
(when/coz) it only makes me want you
only makes me want you more

boy meets girl part 2

i think it's happening..and it's a bit scary...

i just don't know how to play the game!!

SOS!!

boy meets girl

here's one song i think fits the situation (i am in???)....heheh

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposittes attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

hermeneutics

wake up..the morning's over..the bed is soft and warm,were we lay..i dreamed the whole night through, of how i'd say to you..all the things my heart wants to say..last night you heard me crying..coz i have never loved a man before..but i guess the tears were falling coz the little girl was lost..but now love, i'm not crying anymore...
this girl has turned into a woman..and i've dreamed of this moment all my life..this girl has turned into a woman..and i thank you for your tenderness last night..
i've never seen you lying on my pillows..i've never seen your body w/o clothes..i've never had this feelings i've discovered. but i'm sure it's just what every lover knows..now i wont cling to you and make you promise..and if there's no tomorrow, don't pretend..but right now i'm in love, and that's all i'm thinking of..and i hope this feeling never ever ends..



and i want to love you once again..tonight..




hmmmm..la lang..just happen to like this song..

here comes the groom!

finally...something big to call my own..uhhm, after 5 years, that is.

3-day leave

m in manila 4 a short vacay...and i enjoyed it! watched a concert wit my cuz..had some fun! saw piolo pascual..jean garcia..christy fermin..kuya germs..ogie alcasid..sarh geronimo..juris of MYMP..ruffa mae quinto..and (drums....) MARK BAUTISTA!!! heehhe..i watched his concert! d best performance ever..

good samaritan

i was on my way home to cdo..i thought it's just gonna be an ordinary day...i was 10 km short of reaching malaybalay city when suddenly my car's temp went higher than normal..i thought it was just some ordinary case of water shortage so i made a stop 2 put some water in the radiator..it worked!..for a while...again, the temp went up..fortunately there was a shop nearby...i thought the problem has been fixed when i left the shop..but no! back to zero again..with a lot of things left undone, i was becoming desperate..'this stupid car!!!' i asked around for some nearby car repair shop, and i was lead to sumpong, 5 min drive from the city proper..they found out that the radiator's fan is not working..an hour later, it was fixed. sadly, clock strikes 6pm! nyt driving in bukidnon is a no no 4 me! but i really wanna go home, so i gulped all my doubts and fears and headed home. 10 km from sumpong, 'this stupid car's temp went up again! i was furious..but can i blame this stupid car? i was to meet one of my contacts..this car cannot not work! fortunately, i reached her house and asked for a bucket of water..i poured em all in my car's radiator..7pm says the clock..she won't allow me to go home alone so she offered their house..i was so touched..she reminded me of my mom..but being the hard-headed me, i refused and told her i'll be fine...bit suicidal, ain't i? she won't allow me..she asked her neice to call a guy named 'Ben..'he drives one of our trucks..u'l be fine with him..' okay.

so ben and i, braved d nyt..we stop every 10 km 2 re-fuel d car with water..d nyt was freezing cold and the moon was at its fullest..can't help but think of werewolves and stuff..what's so inspiring is everytime we make a stop, there's always a good samaritan offering help..(naka-kolekta man cguro mi ug napulo ka botelya sa tubig..gaipabaun sa amo sa among malabyan..)

4 all my 11 months of covering this area, i never even glanced at all the sorrounding huts..didn't even appreciate their existence..but that night taught me one of life's important lessons: never underestimate the ordinary..there is extravagance in the simple things..sometimes we don't take notice of the commom because they're so 'just there!' but that night taught me d opposite..

we arrived in CDO 12mn..my mom was still wide awake..as usual, she can't sleep knowing that i am in a difficult situation..that night i felt so loved..so well taken cared of..all my frustrations were set aside..i was able to breathe finally..

my concern business contact..d guy who accompanied me to cdo..all those folks who offered a little help or more...my family..it all dawned on me: god has a special way of making me feel better..

to all the good samaritans out there: my apology and regret for taking u 4granted. and thankfulness 4 finally knowing u.

young and tired

it never ceased to hunt me.

when things are getting tougher and harder each day.

people disrespect you.

existence becomes a big deal..

and that which threatens it frightens you no more.

soon this labored breathing would stop.

agony suppressed by fake laughters and cheers.

these will all stop.

and there will be peace.

and i'll fear no more.
