Everybody Has A Dream - Billy Joel

This song was interpreted by American Idol contestant Jessica Sanchez. Since that night I watched the episode, I can't get it out my head. I have been a fan of Billy Joel and to be honest, I am not familiar with this particular song, more so when Jessica sang it. I was talking to a friend a while ago and we were catching up.

I told her, I believe I landed in my dream job already where I can help organizing the community which is how I was taught back in college. This is my passion. Other than that, I can still function as a teacher by becoming a lecturer at some community gatherings. And then I heard this song and it says everybody has a dream. I had a dream and now I am living that dream.

Everybody has a Dream
Billy Joel / Jessica Sanchez (American Idol 11)

While in these days of quiet desperation
As I wander through the world in which I live
I search everywhere for some new inspiration
But it's more than cold reality can give
If I need a cause for celebration
Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind
I rely on my imagination
And I dream of an imaginary time

Oh oh, and I know that everybody has a dream
Everybody has a dream, everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own
Just to be at home and to be all alone with you

If I believe in all the words I'm saying
And if a word from you can bring a better day
Then all I have are these games that I've been playing
To keep my hope from crumbling away
So let me lie and let me go on sleeping
And I will lose myself in palaces of sand
And all the fantasies that I will be keeping
Will make the empty hours easier, easier to stand

And I know that everybody has a dream
Everybody has a dream, everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own, just to be at home
And to be all alone, all alone with you
Oh, oh, with you

I know that everybody has a dream, oh oh, everybody has a dream
I know that everybody has a dream, everybody
(Everybody has a dream) Everybody, everybody, everybody has
(Everybody has a dream) Everybody has a dream, I know that
(Everybody has a dream) Everybody
(Everybody has a dream) Everybody has a dream
(Everybody has a dream) Everybody has a dream, everybody has
(Everybody has a dream)

For the Longest Time - Billy Joel

I can't believe I found time to blog these days!

I miss visiting my friends at entrecard, I missed updating my profile, I missed earning online. I am still at a lost with Google Adsense when I said I am going to master Adsense.

I have forgotten how things were before I plunged into a legal pit I have gone through. No, I wasn't the subject of any prosecution or legal battles in court. I was trying to be a lawyer for the past 4 years and more of my life. The bar exam had just been concluded and I am still at a plethora on how the heck was I able to at least survive it! Well, surviving the bar exam was my goal, not so much on passing it. Oh well, I am sounding so pessimistic already.

Yet another pessimism in me shouts! I am still an amateur here in the blog world despite my blogging for more than three years already.

Hah! For the Longest Time indeed!

FOR THE LONGEST TIME

Billy Joel

Dum dum dum
Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

If you say goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me and
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

And that voice you're hearing in my heart
Ain't the greediest miracle of all
It's how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/the+overtones/the+longest+time_20906400.html ]
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've come this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further will go on?
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts all this time
I said to myself hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh the longest, for the longest time

Heart of Gold - Neil Young

This is my entry to Techie She’s Lucky Blogger Weekly GiveawaysWeek 18. This week’s prize is $10 paypal credits from WAHWM ofWork at Home Wife and Mother.

It's a stormy Sunday afternoon. The people are doing different types of activities indoors: kids playing computer games, my dad watching TV, my mom playing cards with friendly neighbors and I am clicking a few on line adverts to kill time. I fall asleep when I hold my book; the noise of these people around me awakes me so I have nothing left to do but click. Then I came back to Techie She's website and I saw an opportunity to write about my routine of clicking for money's sake!

I was just comparing myself to a computer customer beside me. He was bragging about the items he gathered from one online game. I think it was a level up game (which I am not even familiar with). That was his way to spend money, clicking is my way to earn. So do the math. The person who pays to play a game earns virtual gifts, virtual products, virtual success. The person who pays online hours while clicking on the side earns a few cents but taken together as a whole becomes substantial. I play, once in a while but in general, I consider playing games a waste of time!

Oh well, that's how people spend their most precious money, that's how they spend their leisure, that's just the way I see it when it comes to ways I could earn, while letting time pass.

I am thankful for fellow bloggers who give opportunity for others to write, update their blog site and given a chance to earn a few bucks. I consider myself a newbie in this arena because I haven't had my focus on technicalities yet. I still have a long way to learn. For now, I am contented to write then earn. ;-)

I think I am still a searcher, miner or learner and to end this entry, I am sharing with you this Neil Young song:

HEART OF GOLD

I want to live,
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold.
It’s these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.

I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old.
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold.

THROUGH THE BARRICADES - Spandau Ballet

Different times entail different concerns, different problems and obstacles. There is one just one problem among youth common to yesteryears and today: drug addiction.

I have been blogging about drug addiction and its sad effects to the person himself, to the family, society and to the country. As an advocate against illegal drugs, I attended the first Anti-illegal drug summit in our community. It started with a motorcade that commenced from the far-flung places up to the town plaza. There were a lot of participants and not much worry about crowd control because the same activity was participated in by law enforcers. A velvet rope was of course prepared to the guest of honor and speaker who was a doctor and talked about his experiences with a person undergoing rehabilitation.

The summit proceeded in the convention hall of one of the hotels here in the province. Barricades were readied at the parking lot where court confiscated illegal drugs were to be burned or destructed. It destruction / burning was headed by prominent politicians and social transformers of the society. The said activity was covered by the local media.

At the end of the day, I was half happy because that social gesture of destroying illegal drugs means a step has been taken by out political leaders. I was half happy because I was also reminded of how destructive these illegal drugs were especially that I know of someone, close to my heart, who was a victim of the acts of a drug addict. There are also news about heinous crimes committed by drug addicts.

I am leaving with you today a song Through the Barricades because regardless of the proliferation of illegal drugs in our society, we are here today to combat this menace in our society. The victims of illegal drugs are taking a stand, a firm stand to step on these dreaded elements of criminalism.

Lyrics of the song

THROUGH THE BARRICADES

Spandau Ballet

Mother doesn't know where love has gone,
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong.
See it in her face that's turned to ice,
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice.
And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade,
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.

Father made my history,
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free.
They taught me what to say in school,
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two.
And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade,
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.

Born on different sides of life,
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife,
So come to me when I'm asleep and

We'll cross the line and dance upon the streets.
And now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade,
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.

Oh, turn around and I'll be there,
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again.
Oh, I thought we were the human race but we were just another borderline case,
and the stars reach down and tell us that there's always one escape.
Oh, I don't know where love has gone,
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong.
Friday's child is full of soul,
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go.
And now I know what they're saying,
It's a terrible beauty we've made,
So we make our love on wasteland and through the barricades.

And now I know what they're saying as our hearts go to their graves,
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.

ChurpChurp Philippines | Social Share » Extra Excitement in your McDonald's Meal with the New Coca-Cola Can Glass Series! (Preview)

Who would not get goosebumps when this song started playing in that old Coca-cola advertisement. It was sung by a local artist by the name of "Lilet". I clearly remember her name because her pretty face reminds me of my sister. Well, that's only me alright.

So there she was giving the introductory lyrics of this song, without any background music. She sings it in acapella while the camera is zooming in on her surroundings which was a stadium filled with young people. The the background music plays along.

I get goosebumps because ever since I was still young, I have always been idealistic; principled; dreamer. I have always believed that there is still hope in this country and that goodness will prevail. I believe we human beings are innately good.

I am sharing this with you because the last time I spent a bonding moment with my sister, we ate at McDonald's. I know she could't resist the sight of that new Coca-Cola glass on display at the store's counter. She has been collecting those glasses for years, this is the third year, I believe. She has those glasses. I just knew she couldn't resist the new Coke glass' design and true enough, she bought one! Presto!

Now folk, don't fret because this glass is available to you at your nearest McDonald's store so hurry! Grab one.

For the meantime, here is the lyrics of that song.

Thanks for this site for the lyrics:

Children: The Future of this Nation

I am the future of the world

I am the hope of my Nation

I am tomorrow’s people

I am the new inspiration

And we’ve got a song to sing to you

we’ve got a message to bring to you

we’ve got a dream

for you and for me and tomorrow (tomorrow)

If we all can agree, there’ll be sweet harmony

tomorrow, tomorrow

and we all will be there, coca cola to share

feeling so real and so (feeling so real and so true)

promise us tomorrow and we’ll make a better world for (make a better world for you)

Mama - Spice Girls

This is my entry to Techie She’s Lucky Blogger Weekly Giveaways Week No. 3. This week’s prize is one year free blog hosting sponsored by JDMaBelleverlasting of “Hope, Faith and Love of a Stay at Home Mother”

Thank you for visiting my sponsors as indicated above. And now to my song for the day:

I have blogged about my mother before. In fact, there have been numerous entries about my mother who has the greatest "influencer" in my life when it comes to music and art in general. I have a collection of her poems and I intend to post them here one of these days (when my addiction to contest joining would subside).

As a matter of fact, all of my blogging activities, my mother is my first audience. She listens, she seems interested (and I'm not really sure if she really is) and she gives me that surprise look.

Well, as this old Spice Girl song goes.... Mama, I love you.

I am proud to say, I tell my mom how much I love her almost everyday and I kiss her and hug her every so often.

I love my mother.

LYRICS OF THE SONG MAMA
by Spice Girls

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I should'nt be
Every other day I crossed the line I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you. Mama I care
Mama I love you. Mama my friend. You're my friend

I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of to think about,about the way I usedto be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you. Mama, I care
Mama, I love you. Mama ,my friend. You're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love is love
Mama I love you. Mama, I care
Mama, I love you. Mama, my friend,You're my friend
Mama, I love you, Mama ,I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend, You're my friend

Happy Birthday - Celebration Song

Who wouldn't know about this famous song? It has been the national anthem of everyone where here in the Philippines, the lyrics goes like this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

In American setting (I see or hear them sing this on movies with birthday scenes), they name the person who is celebrating the birthday. It goes something like "Happy birthday dear John, Happy birthday to you!"

That's the way it normally goes right? But I for one, is not really familiar with singing a song with just one syllable like the name JOHN. In music, one syllable means one note but an artist can make one syllable into multiple notes.

I am leaving that to the music experts all right. I just wrote about this song because I was blog-walking tonight and I saw a picture of a hundred dollars as a contest prize! Isn't that marvelous? You better check the site if i were you, you can visit here and you will find a very gallant image such as this one:

Do not delay ok? This is a once in a blogging lifetime chance to win this grand price, get to meet the sponsor of this contest, leave your birthday greetings and cross fingers in order to win.

Remember, you can only get a chance to win if you will visit the site and get more details of joining.

Goodluck to all of us.

Firework - Katy Perry

I have always wanted to write about this song since the first day I've seen its music video. The scene was spectacular when a firework was coming out of her heart. It is like saying that life's happiness can be found within. These feelings do not have to be grand, famous or magnanimous. What matters is there is happiness at what ever amount or size or status there is.

I have all of a sudden wrote about fireworks because I would like to talk about CMFads. The advertising site I had in this blog for over a year now. I was not familiar with how it works until I gave it a closer look. There is a new feature, which is the Firework, that I am considering to avail of in a few days.

Working with CMF is fun, especially for a blogger who is not really "techy" when it comes to blogger matters such as the intricacies involved in a "widget", a "disclaimer page", a "URL" much more with "SEO", "Affiliates" and the like. These are alien words to me... until now. I just pretend to know them, the simplest way I could make my brain cells understand them.

I was taking a good look at my CMF page when I realized that I have gained a few $$$ in my account. The thought of earning makes me like CMF even more. Now, other than earning, which for me means passive income, (not that much but enough to make my few minutes of blogging "worthy"), here are the few things why I like CMFads:

1. It is user-friendly.
You see, not all bloggers are expert bloggers. Like me, I am here willing to learn the complexities of the world wide web. Logging on the system of CMFads is very simple and what I find very user-friendly is when I added a gadget here at blogspot. All I did was click on "get codes" then pasted it on my blogspot, then presto! I instantly had my CMF ads on my blog.

2. Clicking is fun.
I have played a few computer games and I cannot fathom how much clicks I have done in the entire duration of the few occasions that I was playing computer games. At CMFads, clicking is just like a game for me with a tinge of fun in it because you get to visit a lot of websites within its network. I find it really amazing and you will not imagine my grin while I am clicking and earning.

3. Traffic and Exposure.
We all know that traffic is important in order for a website or a blog to be noticed in the www. I tried the "buy spike" feature of CMFads and undoubtedly, it has brought significant amount of traffic into my site. There is still a long way for me to gain much exposure on my blog and this is definitely the reason why I would stick with CMFads.

Now for my readers out there, and for those I have already invited, click this CMFads link and experience the fun of blogging, clicking and earning.

Now for the song lyrics of Firework.

Firework lyrics
Songwriters: Dean, Esther; Eriksen, Mikkel; Hermansen, Tor Erik; Perry, Katy; Wilhelm, Sandy Julien;

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
