Post Script to my previous post




My previous post tells about how thankful one is to the Most Supreme Being. Thankful for everything irregardless of any situation nor feeling.

And I just have to add that we should also be thankful for the unexplainable beauty of the nature this world has to offer. The two pics above (thanks so much to flea for sharing them with me and allowing me to post them) are just examples. They may seem so simple or ordinary for some, but, for me, I love them. Even though I wasn't able to see the real thing, these pics help me enjoy nature's beauty.

My thoughts seem to be incoherent right now, but, I'll surely express more about this in the future. I just have to start with this one.

I Am Thanking YOU Right Now

(I received this from a friend thru email, and was contributed by Joe Gatuslao. This is indeed a very wonderful prayer, a way of humbling ourselves.)

Dear GOD:

I want to thank You for what you have already done.

I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards,
I am thanking you right now.


I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better,
I am thanking you right now


I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me,
I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears,
I am thanking you right now.


I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves,
I am going to thank you right now.


I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet.
I am going to thank you right now.

I am not ! going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job.
I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief,
I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed,
I am thanking you right now.

I am thanking you because I am alive.
I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties.
I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.
I'm thanking you because, FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

God is just so good, and he's good all the time.

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

If we were thankful for everything
The way that God tells us to be,
What a wonderful change in our living
We would be able to see!- Eaker

PRAYER
"Lord, begin a new work of love within me. Instill in me a greater love for your commandments. Give me a burning desire to live a life of righteousness and holiness. Purify and transform me that I may be fully conformed into the likeness of Christ."

Nawala ba ako?

Hindi naman. Wala lang akong maisulat. Wala sa mood na magsulat. Tamad mag-isip ng isusulat.

Halos wala namang ipinagbago sa buhay ko nitong mga nakaraang araw. Windang, lito, at okey lang naman ako. Nagpaka-abala sa trabaho at paglalaro ng badminton. Pinipilit na 'wag ma-miss ang mga taong namimiss (pero wala rin...).

Inis pa rin sa sarili dahil hirap umusad. Hindi maintindihan kung bakit nagkakaganito, 'di makalimot.

Haaayyyy...baliw na nga yata ako.

mushy songs again

These two songs became my all-time faves since high school. These songs are examples of the "sh*t songs" like what a friend calls them. They are songs that make you say sh*t when you get to hear them.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Reo Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling
--------------------------------------------------------------
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
'Cuz I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction, you make everything so clear

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been runnin' round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you girl
'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore



--------------------------------------------------------------
Rembrandts - Someone
--------------------------------------------------------------
We've been together now for such a long time
Through every trial we'd ever care to go
When I look back I almost can't believe it
We're not the same people that we used to know


With all the years behind me spent pretending
I didn't need someone like you around
It makes it even harder to imagine
The life I'd be livin', if I hadn't found

SOMEONE TO HOLD ME, THE WAY THAT YOU DO
SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ME, THE WAY I NEED YOU
SOMEONE TO SHOW ME, A WAY THAT IS TRUE
SOMEONE TO LOVE ME.......THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU

When there was no one left for me to turn to
When all the world I knew was fallin' down
Oh there were times I could not face the mornin'
But everything's changed since the day that I found

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2x)

I don't have a Kitkat...

...but I'm taking a little break right now due to some 'technical difficulties' here in the office. c",)

Hmmm...what can I say? Uhmmm...I was a little surprised after I read a friend's latest post in her blog. It's about how she's feeling about someone who seems to be ignoring her (or something like that). It doesn't have the details, but, I got her message. I wasn't able to stop myself from leaving a comment for that post. My comment was like a post already. Well, basically, my message was that I do know how it feels, how she's feeling. I'm in that situation and it doesn't fail to give me the paranoia (spell check, pls).

(A very big and long sigh for that...)

I still have time to write more...

Last Saturday, someone's comment on how 'loud' I play made me think. From the time I started to be at ease playing with the other Baddicts, all poise and proper decorum forgotten, I usually scream/shout/trash talk with the others. And it could only mean one thing. I'M HAVING FUN!!! c",)

I only get serious in playing badminton if it's a tourney game or I'm pissed off. (So far, the latter haven't occurred...yet).

Another explanation is that it's only when I'm in the badminton courts (as a player or a cheerer) that I am a 'loud' person. It's the only time that I can let go of the "suppressed emotions". hehehehe.

I'm done with this post and yet, I still don't have the files I needed for my report....*sigh*

stupid me

I just wanna rant about the way I played last night. Di maganda laro ko. I could've played better and mas malaki sana chance na nanalo kami. Nahihiya ako sa partner ko. =(

Yan lang muna...More details later pag may free time na ulit ako... =(

it hurts =(

Kahapon, habang tahimik akong nagtatrabaho rito sa opisina (na halos nakaupo lang buong araw), bigla akong nakaramdam ng kirot sa ibabang bahagi ng kanang tuhod ko. Mula noon, napansin ko na lang ang pagkirot niya paminsan-minsan. Hanggang ngayon, nararamdaman ko pa rin. =(

Nagtanong ako sa ilang kaibigan kung anong maganda o dapat kong bilhin na "support" o "brace". Madalas ko kasing marinig sa kanila ang "patella or knee brace". May nagsabing kulang ako sa "stretching" bago ako maglaro ng badminton. Malaki ang posibilidad na ito'y totoo.

Bukas, mag-uumpisa na ang 'tourney' namin dito sa opisina. Buong buwan ng Hulyo gaganapin ito at maglalaro kami dalawang beses bawa't linggo.

Nawa'y makayanan ko at makapag-desisyon agad kung anong gagawin ko rito sa tuhod ko. =(

Guys, how do you manage to do it?

INSENSITIVE - Jann Arden

How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere


Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive, insensitive, insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have, some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive


***************************************************
For a very sensitive person like myself, I really wonder how men can be so insensitive like how the song described. How I'd love to learn for my own sake.
