SMILE

August 31st, 2007

i read the other day on Yahoo main page about the suicide attempt(speculation?) of the actor Owen Wilson.  i wondered what in heaven made him do it (if it were really true)!  he’s handsome, popular and no doubt rich.  one can never really fathom the depth of another person’s heart, mind and soul.  whatever the reason may be, i think it’s sad that he gave in to his depression.

as for me, i’ll never go down that path.  there’s much in life to celebrate.  true there were moments when my life may have sucked but never entirely.  always, there was something good still going inspite of all the hardships, no matter how insignificant.

in dark times there is always a glimmer of hope.  one just have to keep an open mind.

one must not take life too seriously.  as Fredie Aguilar once sang, "Tawanan mo ang iyong problema" translated in english "Laugh at your problems".  if you don’t, your problems will laugh at you!

"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"

  - by Nat King Cole

STOLEN!

August 27th, 2007
You watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glamour have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away

You have stolen my heart

You have stolen my heart

Invitation only grant farewells
Crush the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
And from the bar room floor we are a celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we are, we’ll sleep well

You have stolen
You have stolen my heart

I watch you spin around in the highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel

You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart

Warning Sign

August 27th, 2007

A warning sign

I missed the good part then I realized

I started lookin’ and the bubble burst

I started lookin’ for excuses

Come on in

I’ve got to tell you what a state I’m in

I’ve got to tell you in my loudest tone

That I started lookin’ for a warning sign

When the truth is

I miss you

Yeah, the truth is

That I miss you so

A warning sign

You came back to haunt me and I realized

That you were an island and I passed you by

That you were an island to discover

Come on in

I’ve got to tell you what a state I’m in

I’ve got to tell you in my loudest tone

That I started lookin’ for a warning sign

When the truth is

I miss you

Yeah, the truth is

That I miss you so

And I’m tired

I should not have let you go

So I crawl back into your open arms

Yes I crawl back into your open arms

And I crawl back into your open arms

Yes I crawl back into your open arms…

shiver

August 13th, 2007

why do you stand so close

do you know that you cause me much unease?

oh boy, you’re such a tease.

how can you stand there

and not say a word?

i think you know you rock my world.

do you shiver when i am near?

well, you know my tummy butterflies,

they flutter when you are near.

so don’t stand so close my dear

i’m afraid that if you do you might hear

my heart and head is screaming danger, DANGER!

are you not afraid

that i might not keep myself restrained?

if you don’t refrain, be afraid, kisses may rain.
