Wish I Could.. Love Again

Now I'm starting to hate rainy season. Haha.



I wonder where you are right now
Wish I could see you somehow
Can't seem to ease the pain
Since you've been gone nothing's been the same
How I wish you could've stayed awhile
How I wish that I could see you smile for me

Wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe and keep you warm
But now all I can do
Is hope and long for you
You're in my mind every night and day
Wishing you're part of me in every way
'Coz all I wanted to do was to always be there for you
Wish that I could tell you just how much I love you

I guess I should not fear
'Coz I know God can hear (I know)
And He's telling me you're alright
And there's no need to worry
Oh my baby, I am so sorry (so sorry)
If I had known, maybe you could've been here with me

Wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe and keep you warm
But now all I can do
Is hope and long for you, you, you, you
You're in my mind every night and day
Wishing you're part of me in every way
'Coz all I wanted to do was to always be there for you

How I wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe and keep you warm
But now all I can do
Is hope and long for you
You're in my mind every night and day
Wishing you're part of me in every way
'Coz all I wanted to do (I wanted to do)
Was to always be there for you
Wish that I could tell you just how much I love you

(Wish I could)
Wish that I could tell you...that I love you




Radio's fine
It helps me forget for awhile
I look back and recall
Those days I had with you
Sometimes I need a friend just to make it through
Anther day spent without you

You, you gave me all the reasons to live
But then you had to go
And I just got to let you know
It's hard to love again just to make it through
Another day spent without you

And I don't wanna go on pretending
That it's gonna be a happy ending
If I should love again
Once I've learned to love again
And oh, it will never be the same without you baby
This pain inside me's driving me crazy
'Coz it's hard to love again

Friends are great, they cheer me up for sometime
But when the day is done
My mind is back again with you
Oh God I need a friend just to make it through
Another day spent without you

And I don't wanna go on pretending
That it's gonna be a happy ending
If I should love again
Once I've learned to love again...ooh
And oh, it will never be the same without you baby
This pain inside me's driving me crazy
'Coz it's hard to love again

'Coz it's hard to love again

2ne1 - Go Away

an't believe I'm posting K-pop songs already haha.

Loved this performance!


KaBoom!

You know what is the hardest feeling in the world?

When you miss someone even though you see that person everyday..

Ecstasy

When you’re sitting there staring into space or doing whatever it is that you’re doing, and all of a sudden you start smiling. That smile slowly becomes wider and bigger. You would just sit there for however long until you catch yourself smiling. Then you would try to think back to what you were doing or to what was running through your head during that moment.. but that thought - that fleeting memory slipped right out of your head once you realized that blissful smile on your face. And you would sit there amazed, wanting to smile again, but you can’t.. and you don’t know why..

To me, those moments are the best.

Cheers Commercial

This is a very old thai commerical.. but still makes me smile haha.

Federer and Nadal: Fit of Laughter During Shooting

Rar Rar Rar Rar Rara.. Bad Romance haha.

Super Junior - Gee

I'm starting to feel the K-pop madness haha.

This one's my favorite parody..




Emptiness Behind

Being turned inside out is almost the only way to describe it.

An ice cold sting that starts in your legs, making you numb, and crawling through your veins, getting in your nerves up, up, up into your heart. When it gets there, it feels as though the only hope you ever had is gone.

Disappeared. Extinguished, like a candle.

Perhaps, the worst part is that it comes without a warning. One moment, you’re perfectly content, and the next, you feel as though you’ve been shot. BANG!

If you’ve been there, you know the feeling.

That awful emptiness that settles just behind your ribcage, a constant reminder that you have no emotion left to give to the world. “Take it, it’s yours.” Your fight is over.. you have no strength left to donate to your own cause.

You start to imagine your pain filling up the pages of a notebook. One can’t write without having lived, and feeling the absence of living is bound to count for something.

But dwelling on it simply won’t do.

No, you have to pull yourself up from the pillows, wipe the tears from your swollen cheeks, and start writing. Creating. Channeling your aching into art.

Because without pain, what good is art?

Kobe Bryant returning to Manila on July 13, 2011


Confeeeermed!!!

July 13 is Half-day leave it is.

I'm not excited since I already saw him twice already but still.. this experience is gonna be priceless.

Here's more info:

June 2011 – Nike Philippines announced today that Kobe Bryant will return to Manila for the third time on July 13, 2011 to kick off his five-city tour. Manila will be his first stop before moving on to Seoul and various cities in China.

“Nike is proud to bring Kobe Bryant back to Manila. In his last two visits, Kobe was able to connect with a lot of young Filipino athletes, encouraging them to fulfill their dreams through sport like he did,” said Nike Philippines Country Marketing Manager, Mae Dichupa. “As part of our commitment to basketball and young Filipino athletes, Nike continuously develops campaigns that will encourage them to reach for their sports dreams. Kobe’s visit is a testament to this. Though very brief, his one-day visit will definitely inspire Filipino athletes who look up to him.”

As early as three, Kobe Bryant already knew that he wanted to become a basketball player. He grew up continually honing his skills and practicing drills which helped in his rise as a basketball superstar. In 1996, he was drafted in the professional league and has since gotten five championship rings with his team, an MVP Award and received 4 All-Star MVP Awards. Kobe unabashedly seizes every opportunity to improve his game – and grabs every single reward that comes with them. Taking inspiration from Kobe’s passion and dedication, his tour is designed to lead young hoopsters down the path to greatness.

Kobe’s one-day visit will begin with a short show at Nike Park, The Fort at 3:00 PM. The main event will be at Araneta Coliseum at 5:00 PM featuring players from Nike-sponsored FEU Tamaraws, DLSU Green Archers, ADMU Blue Eagles and Smart Gilas Pilipinas. Kobe will teach these young athletes on how to better improve their skills for the coming basketball season.

Take every advantage and see Kobe live on July 13, 2011. Tickets will be distributed at Nike Park The Fort and Titan The Fort for one day only at 12NN on July 2, 2011. Tickets are free of charge and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Only two tickets will be given per person. Additionally, people can tune into Magic 89.9 and Wave 89.1 to win tickets to the show.

Taken

Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I’ve heard before
Chills, is it something real?
Or the magic I’m feeding off your fingers

Morning Glory




I know that this movie is the same of Devil Wears Prada. But I didn’t expect much from this because.. just because..Guess what? It turns out to be another hit to me.

I got so pulled in with every scene and what was going to happen to Becky.

I loved the entire cast. Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford played their role well.

Of course, Rachel McAdams just reminded me of Jennifer Garner. I love her in this film.

I loved the soundtrack especially Natasha Bedingfield’s “Strip Me” and Colin Hay’s “Waiting for my real life to begin”..

I laughed so much. You can see me clapping my hands, stomping my feet. Gosh I’m just happy.

The plot revolves around a fidgety TV producer Becky trying to revitalize a dying morning show – Daybreak. She goes about this by 1) hiring an old crow in the person of decorated reporter Mike (Ford) and 2) switching the lineup from lame to crass entertainment to increase the ratings. Well, Morning Glory is really amusing and entertaining. It’s actually more of comedy than a romcom or a satire. Whatever it is, I’m sure every working girl would love this - truly inspiring and feel good movie.

But don’t expect it to be on top of Devil Wears Prada.

PS. I'm not saying the word fluffy! - this part is hilarious!

Indescribable Feeling

Too often I wonder, “Will I ever know your secret?”

Then, the unexpected moment happened - a secret revealed.

I felt something I never felt before.

It’s a weird feeling - Teary-eye, chills, and an endless smile – how can it happen?

I guess I am just deeply touched.

Yes I was surprised.

But it’s not new to know a secret like this.

It’s like hearing it for the first time in my life.

There I am listening, thinking, wondering

There are so many questions

Looking at you while telling amazed me

I saw a part of you, something special

It’s funny how love really moves and works.

Well, everyone deserves to be happy.

I wish you all the best.

I would always be here – no matter what

Nothing would change, it will only get better.

Thank you for trusting me.

It’s a secret I would forever keep.

Thoughts

You want to avoid sadness but you can’t know sadness unless you know happiness. The two works together to create such dramatic feelings. Would you rather live your life devoid of all happiness or take the two together to create an epic adventure?

Secret!

Every person in this world has secrets.

I don’t think I can remember a time when I didn’t keep people’s secrets.

As I got older it just became my thing to do - help people, be their rocks, and be their secret keepers.

I used to wonder, “Why me?”

But now, I don’t think I would have it any other way.

To be honest, I absolutely love it. Not because of the fact that I know secrets and I have the trust of my friends, but because I can be there for people when they need it.

My Friends.. they are very precious to me.

I’m ready to listen, and keep their secret.

If not, then i guess some things are just not meant to be told..

I know.. trust is not easy to earn these days..

Seoul

Lotte World.. Autumn.. Namsan Love Wall.. We will meet soon.




Rick vs Jim


So funny!

Now what Lebron?



Shaq Retires

First it was Phil Jackson. Now, Shaquille O’Neal. Talk about the end of an era.

The most dominant player I’ve ever seen and a great Los Angeles Laker.

Thanks for the laughs and all those goddamn dunks.

The Lakers won three championships that wouldn’t have won without him.

I will forever be grateful for his significant contributions to the Lakers.



This season we say good bye to both the Zen Master and the Diesel. Sigh.

Have you Ever?

Have you ever been hurt so badly, left heartbroken, that you just don’t feel pain anymore? That instead there is fear flooding your mind and heart? The fear of not being able to love again? Fear to open up, and getting destroyed once more?

Charlie's Grind & Grill

These are my best buddies..

Nothing really beats this kind of moments..

I ate the Black Angus burger & fries and I still feel full today.. OMG.





Tssss..

Skype?

Oh cmon.

You really love her that much?

Well I guess.

Ironic

How when people go from “in a relationship” to “single” on Facebook..

And how some of their friends like the fact that they’re single..

When really..

They’re probably sitting there wondering what went wrong, crying slight tears of anguish and sadness.. And wishing that it never happened.

Wonderful how someone not being single, can cause such joy, and such pain.

James McAvoy

First, WANTED..

Then X-MEN..

James McAvoy is amazing!!!

REALLY loved his portrayal as Charles Xavier.



I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie. I’m kinda ashamed to say that I went in with low expectations because I did not like the trailer.. expecting it to be boring but hell NO - it was good!

X-Men: First Class RULED!!!


Download! Download!

Hopelessly..

You ever loved someone for so many years, yet the love is as fresh as the first day you fell? Do you think you’ll ever be together? I sometimes forget that he’s not the only man in the world. I can’t hate him, not love him or forget him. He is a part of my heart and thoughts. Remembering him is like breathing. On cloud 57, but it’s a rain cloud. What’s next when I’m so hopelessly wiling to love him?
