Bon Voyage



It's been long overdue I should have write this blog few days ago. Actually I was thinking & drafting some notes during my spare time at work but I never finish it. I don't know how to begin or what to say all I know is that I'm happy for you. The dreams that you've been dreaming all those years ago, the talks, the hopes & the wishes is now finally coming true. I know you're very excited because at last you'll see your husband again & set foot in the United State of America. But, then again you're going away so far & I can't reach you that easily anymore.

I'll miss the memories & the crazy time we had here in Cebu. But what I'll miss the most is the adventure we had at some Asian countries we've travel. Just thinking about it makes me smile. Remember at the immigration in Changi with the officer asking you many question & you're quite nervous at that time then you said to him I've got lots of credit cards hahaha.... then remember the bird flu in Batam but we still visit it despite the precaution....how about the time we walk all day in Bangkok just to look for a cheap shopping center....It was such a fun memories & I'll always remember it especially our first time travel in Singapore. It was like hitting 4 birds with one stone going to 4 countries in one vacation.

But you stay in Singapore and I go back to the Philippines still dreaming about what to make of with my life. You know you're that kind of person where you're so focus with your goals while I am the one who live life as it comes too contented for my own good. You always encourage me to stay focus on my career not to pursue many educational course. Yeah I'm over qualified for my present job academically speaking but career wise I haven't gotten that far. And thanks to you for reminding me to stay focus on my career not my studies.

Besides, if it weren't because of a certain guy that challenge me to reexamine what I have been doing with myself I wouldn't have what I'm enjoying now. Although its not much same old long hours low pay job but its a good substitute till I find what I am looking for. What I'm actually looking for? Well I don't know, but I thank you for always encouraging me to better myself.

And now its your time to move on & embrace your new life in the States with your hubby. I hope you'll finally found what it is you're looking for out there. I know it'll be a long time till we see each other again & I'm going to miss you for now. I've never thought you'll get married last year it was just so unexpected. It's so fast & feels just like a dream. I know I won't see you back in Singapore the next time I go there but hopefully I pray for the time we'll see each other again in the US perhaps if God will.

Take care my friend & have a beautiful new journey in the next chapter of your life. I'm always here for you, Hazel & Kathy whenever you need a friend.

Spending my time

Spending My Time - Roxette

What's the time?
Seems its already morning
I see the sky, its so beautiful and blue
The TV's on
But the only thing showing is a picture of you

Oh, I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin
Then I thank the Lord above
That you're not there to see me
In this shape I'm in

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think of me too
I'm spending my time

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh, help me please
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind

I'm spending my time

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on
Time will make sure will get over you
This silly game of love you play you win only to lose

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind

PS: reminiscing my high school days hehehe one of my favorite band back then

Somewhere only we know

Lifehouse *♪ * Somewhere Only we know - Lifehouse

Note: Love this song so much and this video of "Somewhere only we know by Keane" cover by Lifehouse

Somewhere only we know (Keane)

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything

Somewhere only we know?

Why (Contemporary)

Allison & Ivan - Why -

I love this dance so much by Ivan and Allison very nicely done and Annie Lennox song "Why" is one of my all time favorite. If you like the video feel free to comment :-)

Why by Annie Lennox

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel ?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
