VOTE EARTH!

I was in Glorietta last week and saw this big tarpaulin hanging in the Activity center. I can't remember what it looks like but I remember wondering why they will shut off electricity in this Mall on March 28 from 8:30-9:30pm.. then I got this email from a colleague in Malaysia encouraging us to visit http://www.voteearth2009.org/home/ and participate... And then I understood.

And so I am encouraging you also to do the same. encourage your community, office, friends to participate. An hour wouldn't hurt.. if it means saving our Earth for the future of our children's children.

a tribute to Francis M.

Francis Magalona's death is a definite loss to the country's music industry and a loss of one great talented person. May you soul rest in peace.

There are a number of songs that I like... Mga Kababayan Ko, Kabataan para sa Kinabukasan, Meron Akong Ano! etc... but these three songs are my favorite :) Kaleidoscope World, Cold Summer Nights and of course Girl Be Mine. I bought a CD of Happy Battle back in 2006 because of Girl Be Mine. hehehe! (may pagka tomboy ata ako noon!?).


Girl Be Mine
Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Coz it’s a beautiful day now
To play now
As I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
‘Coz I’m feeling kinda lonely
Would you be, could you be…
My one and only
Took a train at a station
And almost lost my patience coz I was waiting
Damned rain delayed the train
Now I’m waitin’ in vain
Just to see your face
Is this the one that im supposed to be afraid of
Is this the one that im supposed to be ashamed of
Hard as a rock not soft like play-do
Everytime I hear a song playing on the radio
Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine…
So fine that it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you… be mine
And in my dream you are so real
So it seems
Inside my head a giant screen
Plays every scene
While I scream
I feel you everytime I go to sleep
Wake up in the middle of the night
And I weep
It’s gotta be mine
That girl is so fine
Girl be mine
Girl be mine
All it takes is a matter of time
And in my dream you are so real
Or so it seems
Inside my head a giant screen
Plays every scene
So you see
I feel you everytime I go to sleep
All it takes is a matter of time
Tell the truth
Will you be mine
Sunshine
Let the rivers run away
Coz it’s a beautiful day now
To play now
As I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know im feeling kinda lonely
Could you be, would you be…
Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine…
So fine the it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you… be mine
Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Coz it’s a beautiful day now
To play now
And as I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know im feeling kinda lonely
Could you be, would you be
Could you be, would you be
Could you be, would you be
Be mine
Cold Summer Nights

I keep on blaming my self
I should have eaten my pride
how can i convince you
its just a matter of time

many times i've hurt you
with my foolish ways oh girl
now i know i have to pay the price

is there a way for u to turn around,
turn around and come back baby
ohh baby cant u see

CHORUS:
its been cold summer nights since we drifted apart
cold summer nights since you walked out that door
cold summer nights here on my own
coz i miss you baby, i need you here

RAP:
cold summer nights girl, i really miss you
you rocked my world
i wanna touch you and kiss you
its my fault
i never called you at home
i'm on the phone, wishing you could call
i'm all alone
is there a way for you to turn around and
come back to me
i hope you understand
that i'm your man and together we can
kiss and make up
'coz you know i cant stand

Kaleidoscope World

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

date with the Shopaholics: Confessions of a Shopaholic

After 3 months of planning to have my hair cut, finally its done! I'm back to my shoulder length hair. The last time I had my hair cut this short was back in 2006 before I gave birth. So I feel kinda different whenever I look in the mirror or touch my hair since it has been on ponytail for the last 2 years. Since I'm already at the salon, I took advantage of more ME-TIME,, so I also asked for a scalp treatment (stress can make your scalp dry!) and a pedicure.

After my salon Make-Over, my shopaholic girlfriends and I watched the hilarious Confessions of a Shopaholic. (Thanks Maya for setting up this movie-date!), ~will review on a separate entry (hehe!)~ For some reason, the movie was on THX and reserve seats only. We bought tickets 15 minutes before the show thinking that there are only a few people who will watch this chick flick. But to my surprise, the seats were almost full and the best seats in the center are all occupied. And the theater was not populated by women alone... they brought their boyfriends with them.. haha! (I hope they can also speak Prada like Luke Brandon).

Before we left the theater we just have to have a souvenir photo of this gigantic shopping bag of Becky Bloomwood. We ended the day with drinks and chats at Coffee Bean. here! here! to more me-time!



and of course... the new.. ME :)


uber busy

It's been over a month since I last posted something here. I have been wanting to post several weeks back but then I decided not to since I'll just rant and rant and rant on being uber busy with work.

OK, so to make a quick summary, I have been given the ultimate account to handle this year ( they are not only multinational, they are also a conglomerate) because my colleague decided that she had enough and need to seek a different direction. I accepted (of course) the challenge and everything it entails... but never have I dreamed of staying as late as 11:30pm doing reports, presentations, proposals etc. I had been doing so for the first 2 weeks of Feb. I won't be bother if I am still single.. hey, I can even stay overnight if I need to.. but my concern is I have a little boy that is waiting for me at home. I leave home while he is asleep just so I won't get stuck with the "stop entry of MRT" but then I can't leave work early because I have to finish all my pending deliverables and so when I get home, AJ is already sleeping. There was even a time when my son didn't see me for the 2 days for I have stayed in the office until 11:30 on 2 consecutive days.

And then my stamina can no longer sustain the stress, and all just shut down one day. I slept the whole day to regain my energy and hoped that my fever goes down because the more days you stay away from the office... your work just piles up.. no ones gonna do it for you. Now is the time I need Cinderella's fairy godmother. If only she exists. hayy!


we are so stressed that we are ashamed to show our faces... its utterly unpleasing... That's Mary & Me.

Andre's Lullaby

I have been meaning to post this entry a long time ago but I just kept on forgetting it until today. As I watch my son... sleeping soundly while hubby is snoring smoothly beside him... I remembered Andre's Lullaby.

I don't know when was the exact time I composed this song.. but I think he was around 1 year old. This had many versions before I have finally settled with this lyrics.

Goodnight...
my Andre boy,

The stars are shining
above you

the moon is sleeping
Even snoring
Because, its time for Bed....

(repeat until he falls as sleep)...

Now that he has memorized the song, he now fills in the next word while I sing it to him...
