Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

this is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
but it's over
just hear this and then I'll go
you gave me more to live for
more than you'll ever know

this is our last embrace
must I dream and always see your face
why can't we overcome this wall
well, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all

kiss me, please kiss me
but kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
and did you rush to the phone to call
was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
saying maybe you didn't know him at all
you didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

well, the bells out in the church tower chime
burning clues into this heart of mine
thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
offer signs that it's over... it's over

Waiting In Vain - Annie Lennox

You know how I terribly love this song (and I love Annie's version than Bob's). But as much as I wanted to sing it on my own, I have to stop. I am never going to sing this again... or should I say, wait in vain no more.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you,boy
My heart said follow through but I know now
That I’m way down on your line
But the waiting feeling’s fine

So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
Because I know how to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb
I wanna know when you’re gotta come,you see

*i don’t wanna wait in a vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in a vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in a vain for your love
’cause sommer is here
And I’m still waiting there
Winter is here
I’m still waiting there

Like I said
It’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,i wanna know now
For I to knock some more,you see

In life I know
That there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waitin’
While I’m waitin’ for my turn,you see

(*repeat)

Like I said-
I don’t wanna,i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna,i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna,i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna,i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain

It’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,i wanna know now
Like I said,the tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting
While I’m waiting for my turn,you see
Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,i wanna know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief

Fate or Destiny defined

And so I asked my ever reliable companion.. Google. Although for some I would have to beg to disagree.

May also be referred to as Destiny: the ultimate agency that predetermines the
course of events (often personified as a woman); "we are helpless in the face of Destiny"

Or so am I just a victim of circumstances?

Good Bye

Farewell to someone I held so dear for one year. It had been so long since I have last had you. When I had you back, everything seemed so different. Different but unique. Unique and made me distinct for the two decades of being ME. Distinctly me. I bore with you for so long. Even during the hardest times, I still wanted to keep you. I tried to maintain you, and had a little trimming of our misunderstandings. At times when I needed and wanted and felt I need to let go, I did not. For I thought, you bring out the better me.

Oh yes you did. For quite some time, I felt a new person every day. I can be different, I can be the same. I can play with myself and experiment. But, as they say, nothing really lasts forever. I got tired of you. You gave me more reasons to feel stressed. You made me look harassed/fatigued/stressed than ever. So I decided to let you go.

And now, I am a new person again. I feel better and the feeling is so light. Don't misunderstand me. I love you. and I still want you back. But not now. I still would want to enjoy the new me. And my new company.

I will see you soon. When I keep myself from being pampered from my reliable hairdresser. She will try to bring you back, a new and better you. For now, I'll keep myself combing for your better growth and keep you growing for another year. I hate to miss you. But I know we'll see each other again soon:)

The Love Series: 2. Meant To Be

I hope I can remember it right. When I first heard it, I was really feeling giddy about learning how to drive.. Hehehe. And more so, I was totally 'in-love' with her story. I might have fabricated it a little bit, but the gist is there.

Main Character:
Lois - petite, cute, girl who has just learned how to drive

Setting:
Traffic jam in one of the Manila highways

Lois had just learned how to drive. Her car was not so new, but she was particular with it. And of course, as a beginner, she would want her first few driving moments to be smooth.. and a pleasure.

Some afternoon, Lois came 'cruising' her way to a traffic jam over the busy streets in the Metro. Being sooooo careful, she accidentally miscalculated hitting the gas, bumping to the car in front of her. Then the 'love story' begins:

*BUMP*
Lois: (Frantically nervous and disoriented) Ooooops....
Guy: (Came out of the car.. trying to look at the damage)
Before winding down the window, she was really praying hard that this guy may not be a goon. That she will not be harassed. Or even yelled at.
Lois: (Wound down the window, chinky-eyed saying..) Sorry..!!!:(
Guy: Uh, are you fine? It's okay. Actually, mas malaki ata yung tama sa yo..
Lois: *Blushing*
The guy was cute, tall, lean..
Lois: I am really sorry. Can I just give you my number? I am so much in a hurry. Can we just talk about it over some time soon?
Guy: Oh yeah sure.
Then they both went out their way.

*BEEP BEEP* Lois just received a text message. The 'Guy' just sent out: 'Ingat ka nalang. Cute ka pa naman:)'

Then the rest is history. What happened to the car? Well, I really don't know:P Maybe it was forgotten. Because what came about is a lovestory that was truly meant to be.

These are just some of the few things I can attest that: things really do happen for a reason. And that if all is right, things will just fall into place;) Everything will just seem so right, there will be no doubts, no second thoughts. Not a tinge of fright, and not a speck of surrender. I have always believed that God has planned out the 'RIGHT' things for me. Although, it is still up to my Free Will, I believe that the biggest factor of it is, my decisions are leaned towards and is guided by Him.

STILL, being RIGHT, doing what is RIGHT, getting what is RIGHT, feeling RIGHT, is rather relative (to each his own)...

Ever After - Bonnie Bailey

Three years ago, our journey began
Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we're floating, when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love, and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine

Emotions, volcanic eruptions
We both still care, so we're still alive
Tunnel vision, determination
I want you, I want to make it right

And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you

You are my twisted sunshine

Close To You

Jologs na kung jologs. Pero gusto ko talaga itong mapanood. Hehehehe:P Kaysa naman sa I Will Always Love You. Yuck! Bwahahahaha. Peace sa mga kapuso. I just don't like Richard Gutierrez. Promise. Pano kaya nakapunta yung mahirap na si Angel sa San Francisco? Swerte naman nun. Sana ako din!

Kanta nalang kayo. FYI PBB fan ako:P

There's nothing I won't try
Just to make you mine
To get a little closer
Would be so divine

And everytime I see you
You make me come undone
I always watch you near me
In you I found the one

CHORUS
Oh why don't you smile my only star
Shine on baby
Smile my only star
Smile my only star
With you by my side
Girl it feels so right
And now that I'm close to you
I could stay all night
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
In the end your smile
Brings me back to you

You shine so true
I can't believe you're mine
And everything may change
But to me you'll always shine

The Love Series -- 1. the Love Letter

I was supposed to rant about a miserable day it had been for me. But instead, I would like to keep myself from being bugged by 'language barrier' (:P) and misunderstood for nothing. Since it's the start of the 'love' month, might as well go with the flow. :">

So let me start these series on how a 'love' story begins.. from a 'love' letter. (Excuse my single quotes. I just have to punctuate that word for some reason).

How young were you when you first ever received that intricately prosed 'love' letter? (or how old?) How many were they? From how many persons? I just can imagine it the first time you received your first love letter. I am sure that the first one you ever received is still with you. Even if that person is not the one you are with now, or that person was never with you, you still have it, don't you? If you're still unattached, you've been reading it once in a while. The first letter you've given, I bet you still remember how many times you drafted it before giving it out. Or to whom you did consult if your grammar were correct. Or maybe, even the last lines you wrote down.

I read that letter from you, again. I can still remember that day.. My heart just leaped out of my chest. The moment I got hold of it, I knew it was from you. You never told me you will, but somewhere in my heart, I knew you would. I opened it the soonest and read it as fast as I could. It wasn't a novel and it wasn't that short even. However, I had to read it again and again (as fast and as many times as I could) until your message gets into my nerves. I wasn't at all paying attention to what you've been saying, but I just wanted to read it and feel that it was you talking to me. And alas, when I got back to my senses, I fully understood every word of it. And that I am grateful, the same way you were, that I had you.. As my friend. As more than just a friend but not greater than the thing called 'love'. It was not clear, but it had never been any clearer than knowing that you were there for me and I was the same way (and I still am, I have to say). I was for a moment lost for words and didn't know how to thank you enough. I could have never been thankful for every word. I can never be thankful enough, than to keep it still with me. They are very much still with me. And as I read it back, it just brings all memories, as if today was the moment.. the first time I read it.
