birthday-girl Wow! I’m going to be a year older on the 15th! I can’t believe I’m OLD! Five days before the big day…

I haven’t written anything lately. It’s not because I’m too busy but because I didn’t have internet connection for a week. Can you believe it? A WEEK?!! Imagine the damage it did to my daily tasks. I hated SmartBro so bad last week that I kept calling their dumb CSRs. Those people don’t know how to handle their customers on the phone. I guess being an ex-call center agent makes me way too critical of them. But sorry guys from Smart, I just don’t like you.

I went to Antique last February 1st to attend my  Lola’s 76th Birthday. My Lola has a lot of Priest friends. Hehe. I had fun and bonded with my cousins. We went to the beach and took a dip even though it was freezing. Aling and I stayed in the water for only like 10-15 minutes. We took so many photos of ourselves and I’m going to post them here and at my Friendster account as soon as I finish resizing them all. I really should start utilizing my Flicker account for this.

Then last Saturday, February 7th was our Lord’s Day. Tim and I are officially full-pledged members of the CFC Singles for Christ Oton Chapter! We had a great celebration. After the prayers and dinner we had a program where each group had to present an intermission number. There were just 13 of us left so we split into 2 groups. The other group presented an acoustic number and we also did the same thing – except the other group got to practice while we did not. We sucked but we didn’t care because we had fun and we enjoyed it! I also did a song number with my brother – Sev. We sang Linkin Park’s “Leave Out All The Rest.” It’s a song from the movie Twilight. He played the guitar. Toto sings very well while I was a nervous wreck and I kinda like sang out of tune most of the time. Hehehe. But still I don’t care because I was having fun! All I can say is that being a part of the Singles for Christ is so much better that being with the Youth for Christ!

And here’s the best part – my bebeh was appointed by Sis Baby as the participants’ official spokesperson. Hehehe. FYI – the participants were us- the Singles for Christ hopefuls and Sis Baby was a part of the SFC Service Team. Tim’s task was to be the one who’ll give a short speech about basically his experiences during the Christian Life Program, his realizations and to give thanks to everyone. To the SFC Service Team, the Brothers and Sisters from the Couples for Christ who helped them particularly Bro. Joebert Toledo whose the SFC Coordinator, Bro. DeeGee Paredes and everyone who made the CLP a success. I know for a fact that my bebeh is a “shy” person and he doesn’t usually do public speaking (although he tells me that he did give speeches when he was in high school). But my bebeh surprised me and he made me proud. Because not only did he make the best speech EVER (love you beh.. :-*) but he was also really confident in delivering it. Everyone laughed at his “metaphorical jokes” (he makes a lot of that all the time with me :D ) and listened to every word he said (at least that’s what I observed). I’m just so proud of my bebeh.

Well that’s it guys. I’ll be making the most of my 5 days as a 23 year old girl and I’m looking forward to my birthday. The day after Valentine’s Day. :) TTYL!

I was doing the laundry yesterday morning when I heard this beautiful song. It has become my habit to listen to the radio while doing my chores. My father told me once when  I was young that singing or just simply listening to the radio will make any chore or work easier and it helps pass the time away. Before you know it, the dreaded job is done. I have since followed his advice and I’ve grown to love it. Well back to the topic. Hehe. I was listening to Home Radio 89.5 when I heard a new song. Home Radio 89.5 by the way is my favorite radio station. When my ears are not plugged to my iPod–I listen to Home Radio. I heard  a very beautiful song that caught me with its inspiring and heartwarming lyrics. I remembered my bebeh when I was listening to it. How he was there when I needed a friend and someone to help me. That time when I was so down. That time when I had to go away because of some bad thing that I’ve done. And countless times that I’ve been bad and needed his help. My bebeh knows all the ‘skeletons in my closet’ and yet he still loves me and accepts me for who I am. Instead of forsaking me he helps me overcome my bad side and helps me grow. He’s always there by my side to guide me and make me not be the person I was before. Now you guys whose wasting the time to read this post know the reason why I really love my bebeh. Why I am always writing about him. I’m just so addicted to my bebeh. I keep telling him that he’s my lifeline and I’m sure that I’ll die if he leaves me.

Now back to the song. I didn’t know the title of the song so what I did is I wrote down the chorus then googled it at the office. I found out that this song was written and sung by Corrine May (born Corrine Foo May Ying) . She’s a Singaporean singer-songwriter whose currently based in Los Angeles, CA. I am now a fan of Corrine May. And this song is going to be a part of my wedding.

On The Side Of Me
Corrinne May

I’m not the easiest person to love
I’m often the one who lets things go unresolved
Yet you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me
Yet you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me.

I’m not too proud of some things I’ve done in my life
The skeletons in my closet are too big for me to hide
Yet you choose to be on the side of me, on the side of me
Blessed charity, you’re on the side of me, on the side of me.

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside, and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
All alone I cried there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared but you.

I’m not the easiest person to love
But you opened your heart and show me what I’m worth
Cos you choose to be on the side of me, on the side of me
What a mystery, you’re on the side of me, on the side of me.

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside, and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
All alone I cried there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared
I remember when nobody cared but you
Cos you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me.

Have you heard of Colbie Caillat’s songs? If you haven’t, what planet are
you from? My favorite song this week is Colbie’s “The Little Things”–and
I’m having a major last song syndrome here that Raucel whose the lady sitting next to me now is asking me to stop singing!
:)

Here’s the lyrics:

The Little Things

The little things, you do to me are
taking me over, I wanna show ya
everything inside of me
like a nervous heart that, is crazy beating
my feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
closer to your eyes, get your attention
before you pass me by..

So back up back up take another chance
Don’t you mess up mess up I don’t wanna lose you
Wake up wake up this aint just a thing that you
Give up give up don’t you say that I’d be
Better off better off, sleepin by myself and wonderin’
If I’m better off better off, without you boy..

So don’t just leave me hanging on..

And every time, you notice me by
holdin me closely, and sayin sweet things
I don’t believe, that it could be
you speekin your mind and, sayin the real thing
my feet have broke free, and I am leavin
I’m not gonna stand here, feelin lonely but
I wont forget you, and I won’t think this
was just a waste of time..

So back up back up take another chance
Don’t you mess up mess up I don’t wanna lose you
Wake up wake up this ain’t just a thing that you
Give up give up don’t you say that I’d be
Better off better off, sleepin by myself and wonderin’
If I’m better off better off, wit out you boy..

But don’t just leave me hangin on..
