Choice.  I have always known that we make choices every single minute. But then, in the bigger portion of my life, I just focused on one thing, not remembering that I have a choice.  It didn't really matter to me.  I was just... most likely idle everytime.  When I heard this song, I instantly had a connection. I am in the process of "re-inventing" myself because I once again learned that I still have a choice.  I chose to say I am happy rather than say "I am not sad".  Happiness...

This is the second time I am writing about this song.  It was sung by David Archuleta and reminded me of the movie City of Angels starred by Nicola Cage and Meg Ryan. The movie depicted an extra ordinary love story of an angel named Seth.  He fell in love with Meg Ryan, a mortal he is supposed to be guarding and protecting. Everything is possible in movies.  There are a lot of different ways to tell stories in movies. There are also a lot of love stories in real life.  However...

I thought I am through with pain. I thought this was all the pain I will have to bear and I thought of a time and place to end it.  And everything is told in this song I just heard this morning.   I could still bear pain after all... because it is more painful to let go of someone you love when you know there is something you could do about it.  I don't deserve to be hurt, nobody does but it's a way of life.  I'm willing to wait til it hurts no more. I tried to translate it...

Akap is short for YAKAP. That means "embrace".  When we feel sad, an embrace would sure uplift us a bit.  When we embrace someone, we assure them that we are here to stay, we care, we love. This is a song a few years back.  It was introduced to me by my beloved. I heard this before but wasn't paying too much attention to what it says until it was sung for me. I am a very serious person. I've grown such because of a lot of life's cruelty shown to me.  It was cruel I say because...

I will never forget the movie CHANCES ARE, also starred by Robert Downey, Jr. That was an old movie back in the 90s.  This song, however is another story.  It just talks about "who knows" as opposed to a planned life. I have always planned my life because that's what I learned from my mentor.  Somewhere, however, I had to abandon some of those plans not because chances are, I may fail, but because something unplanned came up.  I do not regret planning my life, despite uncertainties...

I heard this song this morning and it somehow reminded me of the very first song I blogged here long time ago.  It shivered me because I don't like the feeling.  That is a feeling of having a relationship but knowing that it is going to end sometime later.   Who would want to experience a heartbreak? I don't.  But every day of breathing is a heartbreak because each moment, we will make a move that will either make us or break us.  Add that to investing so much of your time...

Choices. Dilemma. Decisions. Irony.  There will always be two sides in a coin. One cannot appreciate the light without the concept of darkness.  Love is the absence of hate.  Loneliness is not happiness.  When we reach that moment of caring less for ourselves, we expect a little hug from someone. When we have resolved to stop from our chores and be with somebody else for a chat, that lightens our mood.  Once again, we cannot appreciate bliss without having a concept of...

This song instantly appealed to me as it talks about an inspiration. Colton Dixon was an american Idol finalist, known to be the Christian singer in the group.  It immediately occurred to me that in this song, he is talking about God. For us Christians, God is the source of our inspiration and strength. I like this song really. It talks about our relationship with God. It is a reminder that we have our hope in him, our inspiration in him, our love in him, our joy in him. That is one true...

A song from Nina.  Jealous.  That is a feeling which we do not want to experience but when we do, we just have to make sure to move on. A friend shared the lyrics of this song with me without any explanation but i can read between the lines.  I really don't have much to say about this one except that: I too am feeling jealous... right now. Here goes the lyrics. Jealous of the girl who caught your eyeOne of my darker daysWhen you looked at her where was I?Shoulda been in her place,...

This song is about dividing your time between priorities and while you may be busy on your career, there is a force behind you that gives you strength.  That is the one who not only believes in you but loves you unconditionally. That is the kind of love I ever wished for.  The kind that gives me joy but the same that gives me pain. I have that beloved, so grand, enormous, large, so big that I am capable of brushing aside the pain. I have never been trusted so much in my life.. or so I...

Poem entry for today. MY SOLACE IN YOUR SONG I look to where the voice is coming from I look for you followed not for a frown But with a heart that’s delighted with your song A love song I haven’t heard for so very long. Your song would paint a smile in my face My heart that’s wanting in music’s embrace For you give life to the lyrics in the way you sing I now could feel your warmth from within. You attracted my heart to emotion You lulled me to love not by reason In your heart I found my place Your...

Could it be that I am in love again.  I could feel love songs when I hear one. I could relate to a love story when I see one.  This ain't a mellow song, an old song even, but as soon as I heard it, there's only one person in my mind. That special person I have been talking about and thinking of 24/7! Valentine's day is over yet love is in my air! I love to love you baby! All for Love! I'm so glad you're my girlI'll do anything for youCall you every nightAnd give you flowers, tooI thank...

This reminded me of a band singer in one of my adventures, together with a special friend of mine, in one of the Bars that we've been.  Me and this special friend of mine had a lot in common: beer, bar, band, travel and music, just to name a few.  And so in the midst of our sober moments in that bar, with all our topics exhausted, we got caught by this band singer (she's a background dancer and singer at the same time, or so we thought).   She was just dancing and lip-syncing the...
