nagets niyo mga pinagsasabi ko noh?

miss ko na kayong lahat.. huling hirit ng summer.. pero sana hindi siya maging huling hirit natin bilang barkada.. sana sa susunod makumpleto... masarap kayong kasama mula pagtaas ng araw hanggang bumaba at hanggang pagtaas uli..

tulad ng isang pamilya..

ohana means family.. ang family means nobody gets left behind.. or forgotten...

mapa maroon man tayo o asul... lahat tayo may markang pisay..

isang kantang nagsasabi ng lahat ng kailangan sabihin...

 

LITTLE WONDERS

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don't mind
if it's me you need to turn to
we'll get by,
it's the heart that really matters in the end

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

"join with us.. and sing me" :p

oh yeah...

will be remembered.. never forgotten.

held in the heart as well as the mind.

once in a lifetime... always cherised.

memories captured with emotions.

love. =]

come share the moment with me...

 i remember a little girl...

a little girl crying in front of me..

asking me please not to grow up...

but looks who's growing up now???

 

do you remember?

that time?

72 B. Gonzales, Loyola Heights, Quezon City.

February 28, 2002..

 

you were crying back then, i wanted to cry too..

you were only 8 back then...

why were you crying?

these were your words

"dan, don't grow up.. I don't want you to be a teenager..."

"why?"

"because... when you're a teenager, you'll do teenager stuff and you'll leave me.. you won't play with me anymore and you'll just go with your friends. You won't want to be with me anymore. Because you're a teenager."

"Even though I'm a teenager, I'll always be here to play with you. That's what cousins are for."

 

That's what cousins are for...

Here we are now, worlds apart...

Living in different times, places...

Living totally different lives...

 

But what the heck, I still love you cousin.. and you know it.

I'll always be here for you..

 

to rant to..

to play with..

to talk to..

to criticize music with...

to draw with..

to photograph with..

or just relish these moments we have...

 

heck, that's what cousins are for..

 

You cried to me before because I was growing up...

Now you're the one who's growing...

And I'm so happy and proud of you

I know you'll go far...

Don't underestimate the power of your dreams...

You'll know I'll always be here to back you up...

 

Love you ina..

Take care of yourself and all the dario's there...

Godspeed cousin..

Hope all your wishes come true...  

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INA

IT's the sound of CHRISTMAS...

 

*BOOM*

the sound of the fireworks? the ones that sparkle in the evening sky or the ones that simply go off on the streets? the fountains? the sparklers? the whistlers? the rockets? the bombs? a simple outlet of JOY that you share with everyone around you???    is this the true sound of christmas?

No.. Listen more closely...

 

*GLO-OOO-OOO-OOO-RIA*

the songs of the christmas carolers?? the songs that come out of the blue in the once quiet evening lifting our spirits?? the ones with their santa hats on and one with a guitar in his hands strumming away? the sound of those singing their hearts out not caring if they're off tune?? the ones that bring you CHEER in the lonely night?    is this the true sound of christmas?

No.. Listen more closely...

 

*FIZZ*

the sound of the sodas as the sit in the cups waiting to be drank by merry relatives?? the sound of the sodas that are on the table mixing in with the voices of the people we love??? the sound that reminds us of our home, our family as on this one day we all come together to celebrate?? The sound that reminds us of the PEACE on Christmas when we sit all together setting aside our faults and differences???    is this the true sound of christmas?

No... Listen more closely....

 

*HAHAHA*

 the sound of laughter ringing true in our ears? the sound of young and old alike as they fill up with happiness? the sound that we are all familiar with and love to hear? the sound that surrounds us on this eve as we try to stay up till midnight to open presents, hug and be merry? the sound that keeps us WARM in the night?    is this the true sound of christmas?

 No... Listen more closely....

you're almost there...

 

*RIPPP*

the sound of paper ripping? the sound of children opening their gifts and shrieking with glee??? the sound of presents being opened? the sound of wonderful bows and sparkling wrapping paper being pulled to shreds? and yet instead of paper, the eyes are sparkling and the faces of the children are filled with wonder. the sound that reminds us of the tokens of love, that we are CHERISHED?    is this the true sound of christmas?

No... Listen more closely....

just a bit more...

 

*zzzzzz*

 the sound of the peaceful snores? the sound which often comes from young ones as they doze off to sleep, all tired out from the nights festivities??? the sound wich is often accompanied by the parents' warm embrace, reminding us how much they CARE?   is this the true sound of christmas?

No... Listen more closely....

there it is...

do you hear it?

it's just a whisper but it's stronger than anything...

 

*LUB-DUB*

the beating of my heart? the steady sound? the heart filled with ACCEPTANCE and MEMORIES especially on this day? the one sometimes frustrated, angry, happy, and sad?    is this the true sound of christmas?

No... Listen more closely...

you're already there...

do you hear what I hear?

 

*I LOVE YOU*

Who said that?? a voice so touching and kind... a voice filled with peace and serenity... a voice filled with LOVE...   is this the true sound of christmas?

*I LOVE YOU - JESUS

 

---------and so He was born to save us all.. SMILE and REJOICE for on this day He was born and shared the wonders of His Love----

 

*.BOOM.*.GLO-OOO-OOO-OOO-RIA.*.FIZZ.*.HAHA.*.RIPPP.*.zzzzzz.*.LUB-DUB.*

"win together...

    lose together...

         TEAMMATES..."

 -troy bolton, HSM

 

Running with all my might...

with only the maroon ones in front of me..

Asking myself....

where were all of you???

 

 

Shouting my heart out...

running as fast as I can..

just to see that you guys aren't in front of me when you could have beem...

just to see that you guys aren't listening to me...

it was frustrating to say the least... Everybody was getting on my nerves.. rebounds go uncatched.. guards let down.. tempers were rising.. letting yourselves get carried away by THEIR pace.. by the 3rd quarter I was already in a foul mood....

what's more.. I was feeling really angry..

I felt frustrated.. mad.. and whatever one can think of to accompany those words

 

YOU who I supposedly led...

YOU who I was supposedly guiding...

YOU who I was supposedly giving chances to...

 

I felt I was doing my job....

I had a good mind to just get mad at all of you right then and there..

but as our dear DADDY benched me..

I saw something that was in front of me the whole time...

 

the one that missed some rebounds, was jumping as high as she can...

the one that lets her guard down sometimes, was running as fast as she can...

the one that had her temper all high was still doing her best...

the one that was just new to this whole experience was exerting so much effort just to keep up with the old...

the one that messed up a few dribbles and passes was constantly after the ball...

the one that missed some shots was finding more ways to get to the ball...

the one that didn't even get a chance to shoot was still hussling for the ball...

the one that was sick and frail wouldn't even stop running...

the one that was distracted at some point was focusing so much on the game...

the one that you thought wasn't paying attention was learning new moves....

the one that feared was actually conquering her fear...

and I felt  bad...REALLY REALLY bad...

 

I was wrong, I am no captain among soldiers that are under me but I am a captain among generals... I belong to them and I should be able to make them look good... I am your working force the one who should be helping you accomplish what is right... and I wasn't

forgive me you guys for the first 3 quarters.. indeed I was wrong...

you are 5 star generals that all have the potential to do great things.. you needed me and it was as if I wasn't there...

 

for the next quarter I shifted into probably the best "me" I can be...

from shouting I was content to stating their names mildly...

from commenting on errors I commended them for their effort...

from a frowning dictator I turned into a smiling leadedr...

frorm pressuring I simply wished for you to enjoy the game...

from soldiers.. you became generals...

I SALUTE YOU....

 

as the final buzzer sounded.. all of you with your sweaty faces and heavy breathing...

I was not distraught or regretful... for when I look at you.. I see a team..

MY TEAM..

In that last quarter we cut down their lead to half... you guys all played like winners...

I'M proud to be your CAPTAIN....

thanks.. chams.. XO... Aguilou.. Ivee.. Charm... Adelle.. Belley bebe.. Janella.. Iram... Rizz.. avienn...

that was one of the best games I've...

WE'VE ever played...

no regrets guys..

no sorry's...

smile...

BABAWI tayo next time.. :D

tayo pa??

 

Running with all my might...

with only the maroon ones in front of me...

Asking myself...

Where were all of you???

BEHIND ME...

BESIDE ME....

NEVER FAILING TO KEEP UP...

NEVER WISHING TO GIVE UP...

 

 

NEVER LETTING ME DOWN :')

 

I salute you generals..

 

"win together....

      lose together....

          TEAMMATES...."

 

come share the moment with me...
