there's always me...

and nothing could beat that...thanks dear mother :)

nora aunor's interpretation...(^_~)...beautiful :>...pls. click...

it is really nice when you have a heavenly mother who truly cares for you and of course cares for everybody too and is always around. since i was young there you are at my wall dear mother. thanks for a calendar cut that my own flesh mother did a long time ago. she made you close to me then, now and forever...and thanks mr. robertson for your bedroom voice and your wonderful song. precious!

gratitude in guitar... yes, decent but not the best ;)...handsome in Harvard and knows how to say thanks aka "gratitude" in the form of music, that's very crucial in determining the character of a person i think plus he is a guitar music composer. yup the man your parents would like you to take home, but only second to Josh Gates, the handsome explorer and adventurer who traveled almost all of the countries on earth even the Philippines. if we received we should say thanks in any form for silence is a sign of ingratitude, just my take and my thoughts...

my kind of music, to the point...

 

to the point
there is no need pretending
to the point
it marks the end

we come and go
we loved and lost
we played and enjoyed
the games of life

we played until we got tired
to smell the roses and the breeze
but at the tip we saw more clearly
now what's left behind us

and we decided to move on
and not to look back
just once in awhile, once in a blue moon
to savor the happiness we once had

to make those memories
last in the deepest parts of our hearts
the secrets that only God knows
that only you and Him is privy of

to the point of not breaking into tears
but of joy, of laughter and of smiles
nevertheless here we are bidding farewell
thanking of the happiness we once had

to the point of no return
to the point of no regrets
to the point of turning a new leaf
in our dear life, in our only one dear life

to the point that we can now say goodbye
and a wish of good luck to accompany us
as we take our first step of moving on
as we embrace change

and that includes closing doors
and opening new ones
where light can radiate
and envelope our souls

embracing a new atmosphere
a new perspective on life
thanking for the old days
but not forgetting them

for they were once a part of us
and forever they will always be a part of us...

a timeless star

what a mystery that we don't know
limited knowledge of whose who...

what we know is that life travels
in winter, spring, summer and fall
in spring it sprouts, life's birth of a child
it blooms and plays in summer's hot sun
then it stoops and drops in fall
as it withers in winter and turns into ice frozen cold

life is born, life is enjoyed
in winter, spring, summer and fall
life always comes in billions as it goes
it counts sunrises, save sunsets in the horizon
as it flips and turns days into nights
as its wheels of fortune roll along

but what is there for us after life
is it like the golden gray brown grass
that will rot, turn into fertilizer of sorts
as it brings nourishment for the land
or is it like the bee and the butterfly
that flies and dies after their pollination task

what's for sure is and what i know
life goes on only in a different tune
masked in another music in another rhythm
clothed in another beat of another generation
written in another hymn in a different form
written in another lyric of another composition

like a timeless star, replayed over and out
like a timeless star like JESUS whose light will never last...

as time evolves

my heartfelt and deepest sympathy goes to the victims and their families of these horrific events or incidents of terror both here in the U.S. and abroad. may this violence ends soon.  may they understand that life is like a fragile egg that can be broken anytime. it will end as time ticks by in old age so why is the rush? to kill is to end what God has given as a gift to us humans. those that take a precious life better watch out. there is nothing in comparison to the scorn and wrath to be unleash by God. only Him had given life to us and if you so decide to be in God's way ending His precious gift then you're not worthy to the perks of living. you are a shame to life as we know it and life is a beautiful experience where we shed our laughter and our tears. where we meet wonderful people not like you who are devil inspired and a devil incarnate. yes, to these heartless human beings who spend their lives unworthy of the gift given to them. i am sorry but just my sad, humble opinion to these senseless killings of innocent civilians word wide. it is a sign of desperation and defeat. it is not to be ignored and should be dealt with as a global priority. to end it and to solve it ASAP by our leaders of government...

as time evolves
we change our minds
to the truth in front of our eyes

as days go by
we develop a clearer picture
of the life that we traveled in our path

we might have mistaken
on the premise of the thoughts
that we did hold

but the sun as it shines
will unveil the truth
that we can't find on our own

it is a given that truth
can't be hidden for long for it has its claws
it will crawl out and will come out sooner or later

as time evolves...

JOY IN LIFE

today is a different day for we think of the joys of the past, the joys of today and the joys of the future. in the process we become more appreciative of those who brought us joys of the past, the joys of the present and the joys of the future to come :) thanks loads... but the ultimate joy is... of course GOD :)
