Ano? Saan? Bakit? Thank you.

On some days, I'm doing nothing.
On some days, I'm doing everything.
So what kind of day is today? What do you think?
Di pa ba obvious? =)

Iba na mood ko, no?
Let's just say that God has been so good to me.
Di nya ko pinabayaan.
Sana lang pwede ko na mashare sa lahat.

More than a month na since I left.
I would just like to thank you who...
...listened,
...understood,
...stayed with me,
...prayed for me,
...cried with me,
...encouraged me,
...helped me,
...talked to me,
...comforted me.
Basta, thank you.

For those who did the opposite,
it was painful then.
But I'm teaching myself not to be bitter.
I'm glad to be where I am right now.
Thanks for letting me go; you pushed me here.
Thank you.

Quit and Win

If I quit, does that mean I let them win?
Win this game?

But is this all just a game?
How can I win against those who created the game?

Isn't quitting my only chance to win?
Win and be where I can be my best...

Be Without You

My favorite song as of the moment. To my seatmates and accidental listeners.. please bear with me. After weeks (or months?) of Ever After and Stick With You, you're gonna be hearing this played over and over and over again...

Be Without You (Mary J. Blige)

I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oooo (oh, oh, oh, oh) oooo

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can't see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
It's so true that (yes)
We've been through it (yes)
We got real sh** (yes)
See baby we been...

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin' behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
I'll be faithful (yes)
I'm for real (yes)
And with us you'll always know the deal
We've been...

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

See this is real talk
I'm always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if you're down on love or don't believe
This ain't for you (no, this ain't for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that it's true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady she's the one (fellas tell your lady she's the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
We've been...

Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby

You Gotta Be

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

From Des'ree's "You Gotta Be". Heard again at Tea's (niece) Moving Up program. Seeing her and her classmates dance to this song reminded me of how much fun I have when surrounded by kids and how much I had wanted to have my own preschool someday...

So many things I wanna do, I wanna accomplish. I don't know which ones are plans and which ones are dreams... and I'm not even close to the realization of any of them.
