After All May 29, 2008 3:48 am

There, there was a time I knew
That no matter come what may, love will prevail
And then, inside the dreams I knew
Came the question lovers fear,
Can true love fail?

Then I would miss the childhood wish
And haven't I sung to you
Of the knight in armour bright
Faithful and true to you

After all,
I will be the one
To hold you in my arms
In my arms

I know in my heart and mind
That no matter come what may love will survive
And love, the author of space and time
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrows alive

And the love that heals the wound
After the war is through
Is the knight in armour bright
Faithful and true to you

Darlin' after all
I will be the one
To hold you in my arms
In my arms...

Just As Long As We Have Love May 28, 2008 11:40 pm

We may not have a mansion on a hill
Mink coats and diamonds by the score
But the thing we have, no man could ever take it
Just the two of us, now who could ask for more

We may not have a thing to stash away
No one knows what tomorrow brings
But as long as i have you there's no mistakin'
That the world is ours to do most anything

Baby, just as long as we have love
To show that we can lean on if we fall
Just as long as we have love,
We'll have it all

We may not have a change of clothes to wear
The price of love is all we pay
We can show the world when two hearts beat together,
We don't even need to know the time of day

Let other people keep their wealth and fame
Fine clothes and fancy diamond rings
There's no price to pay for treasures held between us
We can share the world cuz we have everything

Baby, just as long as we have love
To show that we can lean on if we fall
Just as long as we have love,
We'll have it all.

Have You Met a Saint In Person? I have. May 28, 2008 4:30 am

This was inspired by the blog MidnightSerenade, quoting Mother Theresa




Mother Theresa founded the congregation, Missionaries of Charity in the 1950's, the followers of which dedicated themselves to the service of the poor, the orphans, and the dying. Following her death on September 5, 1997, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II. She is now revered as the Blessed Theresa. A second miracle(documented) is the only obstacle for her canonization for sainthood.

I had the privilege of meeting Mother Theresa in person in the early eighties when she visited our country the Philippines. I was a member of a contingent who met with her and assisted her in her work. As a memento of that "historic" meeting, she gave us each a medallion, which she pinned on our chest.

The funny thing was, i didn't even know who she was at that time so i didn't think of it as a "big deal". When i got back to our dorm, one of my dorm-mate who failed to join us because of some illness came up to me and asked "how was it"
"Very exhausting, after our chores, some nun gave us a medallion". "Just my luck" he said "I would've given anything ..." he added. "ok, if it means that much to you...here" i tossed him the medallion. He thanked me to no end. A few days later, I came to know that the person who gave us the medallion was "THE" Mother Theresa.

A few years later I left the seminary, my dorm-mate went on to become a priest and is now in Conggo, Africa where he now serves as a missionary priest.

If It Takes Forever May 28, 2008 3:17 am

...

This is inspired by the blog Serendipity, about waiting for someone...




If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me,
till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh
here in my arms

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms

Anywhere you wander,
anywhere you go
Every day remember
how I love you so
In your heart believe
what in my heart I know
That forevermore
I'll wait for you

Of all the things I've ever done
Finding you will prove to be the most important one
I would never trade the tears
The conversation no one hears
The learning how to walk before we run

Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down except the one i sent up with you
I don't want to change a thing
Break the spell or cut the string
When every wish I make is coming true, with you

Sometimes I forget
To say how much I love you
Purposely i bet,
Cause I'm so busy thinking of you

So in this world of odds and ends
I'd rather have a part of you than all my so-called friends
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
Of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I'll start and end with loving you.

Butterflies Are Free May 26, 2008 9:57 pm

...

This is inspired by the blog of uniforever entitled "Winged Messenger"



When I was about five years old, i rememeber that i was so afraid of butterflies it bordered on phobia. The source of such "phobia" was an urban legend that the powdery substance on the wings of the butterflies will cause blindness if it gets in your eyes.

My mom, in her attempt to free me from this fear, told me that butterflies are really our dearly departed relatives who visit us from time to time just to see how we are doing.

Six years later, i lost my grandpa to cancer of the liver. I was very close to him so his loss left a wide void in my life. I was sitting in a swing tied to tree which my grandpa made. I was thinking about the times I had with him when suddenly, this brown butterfly hovered over me and finally settled on my shoulder. I rememebred the story my mom told me before, and instantly I felt a sudden sense of warmth and peace. This single incident helped me cope with his loss.

Through the years, i lost a number of my relatives, friends, two of my brothers together with my mom, and just a few years ago, i lost my dad. Each and everytime, a butterfly appears almost out of no where.

In times of sorrow and uncertainty, the burden seems bearable if there is something tangible you can hold onto.

I choose to hold onto this one

All The Time May 26, 2008 1:33 am

All the time I thought there's only me
Crazy in a way that no one else could be
I would have given everything I own
If someone would have said, "You're not Alone"

All the time I thought that I was wrong
wanting to be me, but needing to belong
If I had just believed in all I had
If someone would have said, "You're not so bad"

All the time I thought there's only me
Crazy in a way that no one else could be
I can't believe that you were somewhere too
Thinking all this time there's only you.

All the time, all the wasted time
All those years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time

Its Impossible May 26, 2008 1:08 am

Its impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
Its just impossible

Its impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
Its just impossible

Can i hold you closer to me
and not feel you going through me
Split the second that i never think of you
Oh how impossible

Can the ocean
Keep on rushing to the shore
Its just impossible

If I had you
Could i ever want for more
Its just impossible

And tomorrow,
Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love is just Impossible

All The Things That You Are May 26, 2008 12:48 am

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long;

You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song;

You are the angel glow that lights the sky
The dearest things i know are what you are;

Someday, my happy arms will hold you
And someday...
I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are
Are mine.
