Sun and Moon

by L E A      S A L O N G A

i will always be proud of her.
she is one of those Filipinos
that have made other cultures
believe that we Pinoys have
something to show on stage...

You are sunlight and I moon
Joined by the gods of fortune
Midnight and high noon
Sharing the sky
We have been blessed
You and I

You are here like a mystery
I'm from a world that's so different
From all that you are
How in the light of one night
Did we come
So far

Outside day starts to dawn
Your moon still floats on high
The birds awake
The stars shine too
My hands still shake
I reach for you
And we meet in the sky

You are sunlight and I moon
Joined here brightening the sky
With the flame of love
Made of
Sunlight...Moonlight 

BECAUSE OF YOU

you my very special someone. 

read and listen to the lyrics of the song.

it is everything that i ever wanted to say to you.

i love you always in all ways!..

If ever you wonder if you touched my soul, 
Yes, you do..
Since I met you, I'm not the same
You bring life to everything I do
Just the way you say hello
With one touch I can't let go
Never thought I'd fall in love with you

*Because of you, my life has changed
Thank you for the love & the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame 
I'll tell the world 
It's because of you

Sometimes I get lonely 
And all I gotta do is think of you
You've captured something inside of me
You make all of my dreams come true
It's not enough that you love me for me
You reached inside & touched me eternally
"I love you" best explains 
How I feel for you
[repeat * ]

My life has changed
Thank you for the love & the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame
I'll tell the world 
It's because of you

The magic in your eyes
True love, I can't deny
When you hold me, I just lose control 
I want you to know 
That I'm never letting go
You mean so much to me, I want the world to see
It's because of you.....
[repeat * except last line]
[repeat *]
you..you.... 

One on One

H A L L     &     O A T E S

I'm tired of playing on the team
It seems I don't get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
No one even trying to score
Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
And when you move in close a little bit means so much
Ooh yeah, you've got to understand baby
Time out is what I'm here for

One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one I know I wanna play that 
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one so slow 

You can't tell me you don't miss me girl
I think I might know you too well 
Wonder what you'd say if you knew that I was coming tonight
Want to? I want you can't you tell 

One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one I know I wanna play that 
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one so slow 
That's all you need to know now

'Cause if it's really right there's nothing else
One on one I want to play that game tonight... 

Love Is A Hurtin' Thing

by LOU RAWLS... 


For every little kiss there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill there's another heartache
The road is rough
The going gets tough

[1: Yes] love is a hurtin' thing
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing

When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne
But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
The next day, loneliness

When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain
Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain

Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two
But I want you so
I want you though I know that

Love is a hurtin' thing
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing [fade] 

Lost Identity

by  D A Y     S I X

I am again back to work. It simply means I have a lot of time to browse the net again, as it is the best way for me and my reliever to spend the three quarters of our working time, or else we will get stoned bored. Anyway, i am done cleaning the pool and made the automatic coffee maker work, I went to my desk and get busy browsing some blogs.

I ran across this blog that I almost thought i was reading my own self. Funny! But he definitely gave me a lot of serious and funny idea/thoughts. He himself just like me made a blog to get his boyfriend's attention. He noticed that when he moved in to his bf's home that he spends so much time on the net, and how he giggles on cute notes, and how he sigh whenever he reads sad post of his blog friends, make a great appreciation on outstanding posts and sing on the tune that is being noted. So on he go to create his own blog.

But to his disappointment, his own boyfriend is not even reading his blog. Hahaha... That sucks! I know the feeling.. And then a lot of excuses and alibis from him of "why not" participating on his blog.

(pause reading that blog, need to walk the dog and while walking I told myself - Ah! I'm over that. I don't want to go back to that feeling again. It's crazy! You don't get the attention anyway, you just aggravate yourself.)

After an hour , I went back and read the blog, there you go, the writer told himself, enough is enough. Instead of writing his agony, complains and disappointments he started writing his poems, essays, and points about the news everyday. Wish I am as eloquent as he is to do it. But anyway, I have my own style. LOL! the best excuse i can have...

And he made it. Before he knew it, his boyfriend is already reading his blog not because of anything else but he, the bf, is becoming curious why he is getting preoccupied with his blog. Just to find out, it is becoming popular and viewers, followers, readers and commentaries are piling up every time he has his new post. His change on his blog made it wonderful. And that lead them to lost admiration with each other and finally separated... Tsk tsk!..

Recently I am starting to loose my admiration to this young fellow that use to be one of the inspirations I got when I am starting my blog. he is so good. his artistic ability is superb but recently I tried analyzing his blog, it is totally different. Now I know why Im feeling like that towards him. He is slowly loosing his identity. His posts, poems and music are no longer his. He is just putting together two or three works of his collaborators and post it on his blog. What a waste of talent. He used to be good. Now, you cannot even see his face on the pictures posted. I don't even know if he understand what is posted on his blog. I wished someone would be good enough to tell him - "I want the original him." the one i knew... I hope that his thousands of followers and reader including me would not realize that they are no longer watching or reading or commenting on his creations because they might be, just like me, lost admiration to him...

Now, huh! I don't care if nobody will read, leave a comment, or click the follow button on my blog. As long as it is me, my own, my original creation, who cares?

lyrics for the song...

Wake up
Why are you here?
You don't need to answer
Where's your fear, your agony
The truth will be slowly unfold

What have I done
And why am I here
Curtains blinding the sun
Sleep while I'm walking and ache during talking
Disbelief and so afraid
Look in your eyes, your face, into your soul
The clock that's ticking on the wall
It makes me insane, remove them all

I'm leaving tomorrow
I'll break through the fence
And so much for this sorrow
Continue my plans again
Back to the world of ice

And who is that guy
He's acting so strange
Have you noticed he's shy?
He's hopelessly dying and constantly crying
But then again, why should I care
I must confess, his pain is way to strong
[So much for answers]
So much for answers, science falls
Help me break this chain, release them all

I'm leaving tomorrow
I'll break trough the fence
And so much for this sorrow
Continue my plans again
Back to the world of cold and ice again

It's Just A Matter Of Time

R A N D Y     T R A V I S

Someday, Someway You'll realise that you've been blind
Yes Darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time
Go on, go on Til you reach the end of the line
Cause I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time

After I gave you everything I had
You laughed and you called me a clown
Remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find
That my love is a true love
It's just a matter of time

Words are spoken with chords played
Someday and Someway
Girl you'll realise that you've been blind
Yes Darling, I know you gonna need me again
It's just a matter of time

After I gave you everything I had
You laughed and you called me a clown
But remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find
That my love was a true love
It's just a matter of time

More Today Than Yesterday

SPIRAL STAIRCASE

I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterdayBut, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow

S U D D E N L Y

I chose this song today for our
(yehey!) first year anniversary
As it is true,
I wake up and knew I am in love.
And will never change a thing.
I love you more each and every day!

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

Ooh...ooh...ooh...
I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello, until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing 'cause this love is everlasting
Suddenly
Life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly you're in love
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah...
Girl, you're everything a man could want and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now, you're all I'm living for
Suddenly
Life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly you're in love
Each day
I pray
This love affair would last forever
Ooh, hoo
Suddenly
Life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly you're in love
Ooh
There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
You wake and suddenly you're in love
Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...

The Love Story

Where do i begin
To tell the story
Of how greatful love can be
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea
That sings the truth about the love she brings to me
Where do i start

With the first hello
She gave the meaning
To this empty world of mine
That never did
Another love another time
She came into my life
And made a living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart
With very special things
With angel songs
With wild imaginings
She fills my soul
With so much love
That anywhere i go
Im never lonely
With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
Its always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much i can say
I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she;ll be there...
How long does it last
Can love b measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much i can say
I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she'll be there...

Unforgettable

Natalie and Nat King Cole

To you, happy happy birthday! It is indeed unforgettable...
Thank you for everything.
Your kindness, generosity,
patience and love.
all for all the unforgettable
gift of experience.
truly you have made every single moment
of my life with you, unforgettable...

I love you!...

Songwriters: Irving Gordon

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me

Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable, in every way
And forevermore, that's how you'll stay
(And forevermore, that's how you'll stay)

That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

No, never before has someone been more

Ooh, unforgettable in every way
(Unforgettable in every way)
And forevermore, that's how you'll stay
(And forevermore, that's how you'll stay)

That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

The First Time I Love Forever

The first time I loved forever was when you whispered my name.
And I knew at once you loved me for the me of who I am.
The first time I loved forever I cast all else aside.
And I bid my heart to follow, be there no more need to hide.

And if wishes and dreams are merely for children, and
if love's a tale for fools,
I'll live the dream with you.

For all my life and forever, there's a truth I will always know.
When my world divides and shatters, your love is where I'll go...

THANK YOU!..

I'm A Fool To Care

by RINGO STARR

I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU,
BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.


I'M A FOOL TO CRY,
WHEN YOU TELL ME GOODBYE.
YOU LEFT ME SO BLUE,
WHEN YOU WERE UNTRUE,
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

I KNOW I SHOULD LAUGH
AND CALL IT A DAY.
BUT I KNOW I WOULD CRY
IF YOU WENT AWAY.

I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU DON'T CARE FOR ME.
SO WHY SHOULD I PRETEND,
I LOSE IN THE END,
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

BRRR!

I'M A FOOL TO CARE,
WHEN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY.
I KNOW I LOVE YOU,
BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M A FOOL TO CARE.

BARRY MANILOW

We walked to the sea.
Just my father and me.
And the dogs played around on the sand.
Winter cold cut the air.
Hangin' still everywhere.
Dressed in gray, did he say.
Hold my hand.
I said, love's easier when it's far away.
We sat and watched a distant light.
We're two ships that pass in the night.
We both smile and we say it's alright.
We're still here.
It's just that we're out of sight.
Like those ships that pass in the night.
There's a boat on the line.
Where the sea meets the sky.
There's another that rides far behind.
And it seems you and I are like strangers.
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time.
He said, it's harder now, we're far away.
We only read you when you write.
We're two ships that pass in the night.
And we smile when we say it's alright.
We're still here.
It's just that we're out of sight.
Like those ships that pass in the night.
We're just ships that pass in the night.
And we smile when we say it's alright.
We're still here.
It's just that we're out of sight.
Like those ships that pass in the night. 

I Told You So

R A N D Y      T R A V I S

(duet of Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis)

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you 

And suppose I said "I wanna come back home". 

And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson" 

And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone. 

If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted 

And it's killin' me to be so far away. 

Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together? 

Or would you simply laugh at me and say: 

"I told you so, oh I told you so 

I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in 

I told you so, but you had to go 

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". 

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever 

Would you get down on yours to and take my hand? 

Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours 

The way we did when our love first began? 

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely 

And you waited for the day that I return. 

And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only 

Or would you say the tables finally turned? 

Would you say: 

"I told you so, oh I told you so 

I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in 

I told you so, but you had to go 

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". 

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". 

Now Love Has No End

M I C H A E L       F R A N K S

As a kid my nose would be
Inside a book of poetry
I memorized the movies where
Into each other's eyes the lovers stare
i.e. Zhivago with his Lara in their cottage
In the snow

Ten below with only love to keep the warm
I soon discovered with alarm
Real life could not compete
With fiction or widescreen love, on the street
No face was shining there to meet me
In soft focus... guess my heart
Blew the part

Seemed like for me stormy weather
Would always hide the moon
I flew the wind like a feather
Into the wrong monsoon
Until the light of your smile
Guided me to this island

I lost my way
But now I'll never be lost again
I'm not ashamed to say
I know for sure now love have no end
It sounds so commonplace
That I'm reluctant to point my pen
When I behold your face
I know for sure now love has no end

I used to think amorously so cynical but now
I know for sure love has no end
The game of hearts was long false starts
until you taught me how
To know for sure love has no end
Til I found you I never knew the joy of two
but now
I know fore sure love has no end
It's always better late than never,
for forever now
I know for sure love has no end.

The One You Love

GLENN FREY

I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do
I heard you on the phone, you took his number
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'?
Isn't he the one who made you blue?
When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

What you gonna say when he comes over?
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointment
Oh girl, what you gonna do?
Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above 

JUST ONCE

oh no matter what we do.
our best will never be good enough.
the thing is we did our best.

if we fail, then we just
need to do better the next time.
if it fails again,
maybe not the right person.
and try again. LOL!

anyway, not even the
best poet can do a poem to define love...
not the best lyricist, can compose a song
to truly describe love
and not even the best scientist,
mathematician or whatever
can do the best formula to make a
good ending/result.

anyway, love to hate is always relative
to each other.
as to hello is to goodbye.

the thing is you did your best.
if it doesn't work out,
so be it.
nobody has control about it.

you'll see, at the end,
the one who truly loves will
just smile and say... sorry!
i'm over it. done it and i'll
never will again.

next please?... LOL!

there is another song that says:

are you gonna stay with the one
who loves you?
or are you going back to the
one you love?
someone's gonna cry when they
he knew he lost you...
(to be continued tomorrow...)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I did my best 
But I guess my best 
wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back 
where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
or head on out the door

Just once 
can't we figure out 
what we keep doing wrong?
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once 
can't we find a way to 
finally make it right?
Make the magic last 
for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

I gave my all
But I think my all 
may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows 
we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing 
whatever we've got going
And seems at times 
with all we've got 
we haven't got a prayer

Just once 
can't we figure out 
what we keep doing wrong?
Why the good times 
never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once 
can't we find a way to 
finally make it right?
And make the magic last 
for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

Just once 
I want to understand 
why it always comes 
back to goodbye
Why can't we give 
ourselves a hand?
And admit to one another
We're no good without the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once 
can't we find a way to 
finally make it right?
Woh, make the magic last 
for more than just one night
I know we can break through it 
If we could just get to it
just once

Woh, we could get to it 
just once
