wish i could

Wish I Could..

I wonder where you are right now
Wish I could see you somehow
Can't seem to ease the pain
Since you've been gone nothing's been the same
How I wish you could've stayed awhile
How I wish that I could see you smile for me

Wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe and keep you warm
But now all I can do
Is hope and long for you
You're in my mind every night and day
Wishing you're part of me in every way
'Coz all I wanted to do was to always be there for you
Wish that I could tell you just how much I love you

I guess I should not fear
'Coz I know God can hear (I know)
And He's telling me you're alright
And there's no need to worry
Oh my baby, I am so sorry (so sorry)
If I had known, maybe you could've been here with me

Wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe and keep you warm
But now all I can do
Is hope and long for you, you, you, you
You're in my mind every night and day
Wishing you're part of me in every way
'Coz all I wanted to do was to always be there for you

How I wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe and keep you warm
But now all I can do
Is hope and long for you
You're in my mind every night and day
Wishing you're part of me in every way
'Coz all I wanted to do (I wanted to do)
Was to always be there for you
Wish that I could tell you just how much I love you

(Wish I could)
Wish that I could tell you...that I love you

Holy Week's - Visita Iglesia

2007-04-12T03:39:00.000-07:00

Holy Thursday, before Easter is celebrated with last Mass, a reenactment of the Washing of the Feet of the Apostles; this Mass is followed by the procession of the Blessed Sacrament before it is taken to the Altar of Repose.The Visita Iglesia (Church Visit), Old traditional rituals in the Philippines where the faithful visit at least 7 churches on Maundy Thursday and say their prayers or do the Station of the Cross.

Its been years since we started our Visita Iglesia or Church Visit. I remember when im still young, my mother together with our friends/neighbors do this tradition yearly. And until now, my friends (marchi, judith, marlon, monch & ardy)and I continue to remember the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

To begin with, we visit the Sto. Niño Church in Pandacan, which is near our place

Sto. Niño Church

St. Jude in Malacañang

San Sebastian Church

Saint Benedict Church

Quiapo Church

Manila Cathedral Church (outside)

San Agustin Church

Easter morning is marked with joyous celebration, the first being the dawn the "Salubong". This commemorates the encounter between Jesus Christ and His Mother, Blessed Virgin Mary. To start the procession, people are separated into two groups. The first group consists of men who will follow the image of Jesus Christ, while the other group consists of women who follow the image of Mary. At the end of the procession, the two groups will meet in the church, where a number of little girls who participate during the dawn ritual as angels.

This is followed by the joyous Easter Mass.

Holy Week

2007-04-03T18:26:00.000-07:00

Ash Wednesday

Lent is 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday. Lent is a time of penance, prayer, preparation for or recollection of baptism, and preparation for the celebration of Easter. In Christianity, a time of fasting and repentance in the spring, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending several weeks later on Easter. To “give something up for Lent” is to abandon a pleasurable habit as an act of devotion and self-discipline.

Holy Week is the last week of Lent, the week immediately preceding Easter Sunday., Holy Week, known as Semana Santa, is treated as one of the most important religious festivals of the entire year. At Mass on Palm Sunday, Catholics carry "palaspas" or palm leaves to be blessed by the priest. Many Filipinos bring home the palm leaves after the Mass and place these above their front doors or their windows, believing that doing so can ward off evil spirits. Holy Monday marks the beginning of the Pabasa (literally, reading) or Pasyon, the marathon chanting of the story of Jesus' life, passion, and death, which continues day and night, for as long as two straight days.

Palm Sunday - "Palaspas"

A popular Holy Thursday tradition is the Bisita Iglesia (Church Visit), Old traditional rituals in the Philippines where the faithful visit at least 7 churches on Maundy Thursday and say their prayers or do the Station of the Cross.

The last Mass before Easter is also celebrated on Holy Thursday, usually including a reenactment of the Washing of the Feet of the Apostles; this Mass is followed by the procession of the Blessed Sacrament before it is taken to the Altar of Repose. Good Friday in the Philippines is commemorated with street processions, the Way of the Cross, the commemoraton of Jesus' Seven last words (Siete Palabras) and a Passion play called the Sinakulo. In some communities, the processions include devotees who self-flagellate and sometimes even have themselves nailed to crosses as expressions of penance. After three o'clock in the afternoon of Good Friday (the time at which Jesus is traditionally believed to have died), noise is discouraged, bathing is proscribed and the faithful are urged to keep a solemn and prayerful disposition through Black Saturday. Easter morning is marked with joyous celebration, the first being the dawn Salubong, wherein large statues of Jesus and Mary are brought in procession together to meet, imagining the first reunion of Jesus and his mother Mary after Jesus' Resurrection. This is followed by the joyous Easter Mass.

Way Back Into Love

by:

Hugh Grant & Hayley Bennet

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, i just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case i ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All i want to do is find a way back to love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And i'm open to your suggestions

All i want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through whithout a way back into love
And if i open my heart again
I guess i'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when i don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way i feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All i want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if i open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that i'll be there for you in the end

Music and Lyrics

2007-02-20T21:15:00.000-08:00

Alex Fletcher is a washed-up '80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem--Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Enter Sophie Fisher, Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears--and the music--if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.

In My Life.

2007-02-17T01:58:00.000-08:00

I seek ----

counting all the people with such a perfect life, a whole being, they are God's proof of a Gift of Love.
I sigh ----

if I could choose my appearance, my personality, my place, my friends, my family & most of all if I could turn back the hands of time.
I feel ----

all the sorrows and pain I've been through. Would there be No time for Life to be Happy?
I cry ----

remembering all the tears I've cried and the loneliness this chaotic life had caused me.
I pray ----

down on my knees, may God heal all the wounds in my heart, made me feel belonged, caressed and loved. The hatred, disappointments, discontentments, and pains be gone....
I smile ----

our faces are the best billboards where the ads of life are seen. Life is not a problem to be solved but a Gift to be enjoyed. I know the only hope is within me, in my heart and in my soul.
I praise ----

Thank GOD! He made me realize how blessed I am to have life this way. There would be thousands of reasons to count in, but one thing's for sure, I got Him by my side all the time. Guiding & Looking down upon me!

A Flower - A Gift of God. A Great Gift Idea.

2007-02-10T00:15:00.000-08:00

A simple yet great gift for Valentine's Day!

Flowers are Gift from GOD. It is one of the Great creations from Him.

Flowers are heaven scent. Flowers are a gift of beauty. Although they are beautiful, flowers have many different meanings. Sending flowers with special meanings can be appropriate for almost any occasion - birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, get well, graduation, funerals or any ways.. Whatever the occasions, giving flowers signifies your feelings and your feelings towards the person you are giving the flowers to. Flowers can also indicate the person's character. When you are giving someone flowers, you should consider what the flowers mean.

Giving a gift of flowers is always a thoughtful experience and is a gift that is definitely not about money. A large bouquet will no doubt be beautiful but worth the cash, it costs. On the other hand, the small bouquet of flowers lovingly collected by an adored one will bring joy into your life. In addition to that, flowers can be use in many ways. Flowers are pressed into scrapbooks, journals and designed for personalized cards. They are also use for their scent and many perfumes.

Moreover, since this month is the February month, this is the moment were we celebrate the Valentines Day. Most of the us especially men, use Flowers as a Great Gift Idea for this romantic season. Try it! And I assure you'll get the most simple yet great gift – a Flower.

I would personally say that it really feels good to receive flowers. You definitely feel flattered because you know someone cares and loves you. You will feel that you are special to that person not by just the worth of the flower but by the thought of giving you a simple yet great gift – a Flower.

Here are some beautiful flowers collected:

Moonstone™ Hybrid Tea Rose			Crazy Love Dahlia
Stippled Ripples Japanese Iris			Elegant Lady Lily
Begonias			Giant Columbine Mixture

Night at the Museum..

2007-02-04T17:55:00.000-08:00

Saturday, February 03, 2007 @ Megamall

A night of post bday-celebration for a good-friend named Geoffrey! Only a night after his birthday (Feb 02). An invitation from the bday celebrant to watch a movie and have a bountiful meal after. Together with his friend Robert 'bembol' (our common friend pla! hehehe..) and my bestfriend Tin we all met in Megamall. Its like a double-date! hehehe =). First we dont have any idea what movie to watch, in the end we all agreed to watch "Night at the Museum". And here is a brief summary of that movie.

Night at the Museum..

Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley, despite being perpetually down on his luck,
thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined
how big, when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift
security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry's watch,
extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys
emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a
Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring
exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he's history's fiercest predator.
Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure
of President Teddy Roosevelt , who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a
nefarious plot, and save the museum.

After the movie, we have a dinner at Dencio's at megastrip. Obviously, these is only place near the vicinity where there are open restaurants, aside from foodchains. Its 11:00pm & the mall is already closed! While waiting for the foods to be served, xempre chikahan blues muna! si Geoff? ayun career k best! kmi nmn nakikitawa lng. hehe :D. and xempre mawawala ba nmn ang pictorial? ahihihi.. By the way, the foods we're waiting pla are sisig, sinigang na sugpo (but it is not available at that time), so we choose sinampalukang manok! Ayan na.. excited.. hehe.. its only my second time in dencios and find their sisig so masarap! kakaiba s ibang sisig.. hehe.. But the sinampalukang manok eh sobrang ASIM! mapapangiwi k s asim!... Kainan na! galit galit muna.. kc kakain n kmi.. hehehe..

We are all done, its past 12 already and everybody needs to go home na! Its was fun hanging out with old but good friends.. Hope we still have chance to meet again despite our busy scheds...

Thanks for the wonderful night! Geoff, Bembol & Best!

Best & Geoff :D

My Starbucks Planner 2007..

2007-01-29T22:27:00.000-08:00

January 23, 2007
Tuesday

Starbucks is the world's largest multinational chain of coffee shops. It has acquired and built coffeehouses all over the world. In addition to drip brewed coffee and espresso beverages, Starbucks shops also serve tea and bottled beverages, pastries, and ready-to-eat sandwiches.

Starbucks Coffee, is one of the highly acclaimed coffee shops not only in the Philippines but also around the globe. Indeed, it is one of the most patronaged coffee shop in our country. Personally, i applaud Starbucks for giving us such a wonderful experience having a coffee break.
Sit back. Stir your favorite drink. Have a small conversation and Relax! Be it a latte, a mocha, a caramel macchiato, or whatever name you want to call it.

It is not as often as everyday that we get our cup of coffee, but we see to it that once in a while we get one.. There's just an ordinary moment while having a cup. I must admit that everytime the Holiday Season comes it is the time that i get more time spending in this coffee shop. Ask why? Definitely because of this planner.. Only 2006, when i got my very first planner. And its kinda wierd because im not using it as its purpose. I only got it just for a collection. And now 2007, January 23, 2007 @ The Podium where i got my 2nd planner. Whew.. kinda fulfilling, bcoz as we all know, coffee's here are not that affordable.. hehe.. Thanks to Sir Paul for being my sponsor! (sponsor tlga eh nO!) and Vhin & james my coffee-buddies.

Finally, I already got my planner of Starbucks for 2007!!

Another wonderful year for Me!
