Crescent Moon - Charice

Her name is Charice Pempengco. Who doesn't know this very talented girl from the Philippines?

I can personally say that she's a total package. She can sing, dance and can definitely act! From her humble beginnings to stardom! WOW!

And her progress is unbelievable! I can say that she's a much better singer now. Her accent is almost gone and she can converse now! Congratulations!

Oh, and while I was really watching her videos and progress, I tripped on this video. It's called CRESCENT MOON originally by a japanese singer AYAKA. And wow, she made it GOLD in JAPAN! wooohooo! I like the original arrangement but Charice's version has something I can't describe. It's like she's not singing the song but relate it to you(to one listening)

I became a fan of her and this song after the first time I played this song. 

So, without anymore reviews... here it is..... click on PLAY!

Here's the lyrics!

Ohhh... Wooo ...Hooo....

We always were together

Walking the same road

You and me like Destiny

But then the path had parted

You went down one road,

And I went the other way

Loneliness, the feeling in my heart

Is all I have to hold today,

Looking at the sky that's almost just about to cry

I have to say, but I can't help but think of you

Chorus:

I'm beneath the night.

And you're not there, No I won't cry

Won't cry anymore, trying hard to live a life without you

Too peaceful, when I think about you...

Maybe, you're seeing the same big star

A crescent moon, glaze into the night

It's a night they're bringing us together

You know I love you more than ever

Ohh...Ohh...

Yeaa ...yeaa ...hey...yeaa

The days are getting colder (colder)

Keeping my hands warm, by myself , reality

I miss your arms so badly

Wanting you here with me

Want you here with me

Even though you call me

And tell me how much you love me, I get blue (I get blue)

And no one wanna hear it,

But I really don't like to leave on you

So I wipe the tears away...

Chorus:

I'm beneath the night.

And you're not there, No I won't cry

Won't cry anymore, trying hard to live a life without you

Too peaceful , when I think about you... Ohh ...Ohh...

Wonder when I will see you again

Until that time again, I guess I'll have to live

Feeling the power you gave me,

When you hold me close

And said I'll always love you, you know....

Here beneath the night.

And you're not there, No I won't cry

Can't cry anymore, trying hard to live a life without you

Too peaceful, when I think about you.. Ohh ...Ohh...

Maybe, you're seeing the same big star

A crescent moon, glaze into the night

It's a night they're bringing us together

You know I love you more than ever

Holding on my hands, can you feel the pain?

I'm reaching out to you, Crescent moon...

hmmmm...

Life's Lesson in Friendship

"No man's an island" that saying would probably be used the most used phrase referring to friendship. I would agree. There's really no one who can live alone on earth! You need someone to help you get through in tough and happy times of your life.

Friendship comes in different forms and sizes. In different levels and difficulties. Friendship is a beautiful hue of diverse colors. A mixture of sweetness and bitterness; of sadness and happiness. People are created in need of friends. 

Most of the time you'll learn from your friends. You'll learn their heartaches, their laughter, their sadness, and their pain. You see them all and will understand how life is somehow. Sometimes friends help us mature in an easy or difficult ways.

Be careful in choosing your friends. The friends you chose today will become your teacher tomorrow. Sometimes they will teach you the hard way and sometimes they are as gentle as a lamb. Either way, one of the most valuable lessons that friendship will teach you is to be able to have a full understanding of your entire friendship. Conflicts may arise, laughter may always be present but friendship will last forever.

Friends have their own personalities. They have their own ways of coping and healing and friends should understand how their friends heal. 

Friendship doesn't always mean happiness. You became friends not only because you feel forever with each other but because you know in times of trouble and problems you can still depend on each other even if it means you're standing on two opposing sides.

The Secret Tower

I had a very short dream last night. Or was it last Saturday night? well whichever night it may be, i dreamed about something like a secret tower.

My dream started in a city. It looks like Paris. Stoned pavement, cold weather, old people. It's as if I was back in 19th Century the difference is that I was wearing my white collared blouse tucked in my short blue skirt with a pair of knee-high socks in my black high heels. 

I was standing in front of an old building. People doesn't seem to care how odd I looked to them, they just keep on walking. It wasn't a busy street or a busy day. It seems everyone has their own work. I stood there waiting for something. A time. Half a minute later, I found myself at an aisle. It was no more than one and one half meter wide. Outside, I am seeing the Eiffel Tower, the streets, the houses were small. It was a complete Acrophobia attack for me but I have to do something. I have to complete the task I needed to do.

I saw people coming out of doors as I stood quietly and patiently on the aisle. Again, waiting for something. A time. In front to where I am standing a small cabinet. I knew I needed that cabinet opened. Half a second after, I saw myself reaching something outside the window across the building I was in. It was a very small tower. A secret tower, I guess. I reached it, opened something on top of the tower. I found some documents, pictures, a book and a key. I put what I've got in my black medium sized sleek backpack.

I rushed to the cabinet across to where I am standing. I opened it with the key I got from the secret tower and found other things that I can't figure out what but I knew I needed those. Half a second had gone and people starting to come out to the doors again. I knew I had to move quickly.

Then I woke up.

Dreams

A week ago I had a dream. A vague one. It's as if it's in the middle of the movie. I don't know what happened and what its ending. However, I would like to share it.

We were on a journey, going somewhere. The place looks like a desert than a road. No signs, no pavement, nothing. Just tough winds everywhere and a leader in front of us. We were traveling on a long journey.

Our group looks like traveling from another city and going to another city. We were very sophisticated-looking group of young women with white tight collared-blouse tucked in our blue short skirts and knee high white socks inside our sand and wind proof brown cloaks. It was a long journey indeed but it seems no one's really had a sore feet wearing a high heeled black shoes. (now we're looking more likely like an anime here...)


The wind was really tough. The sand that comes with it makes it really harder for us to look straight. We're all depending on our leader to guide us.


Then she said "we're here. This is the end of my task. All of you must go downstairs." Then she's gone. 


We all followed her instructions. I was with my friends. We were in the middle of a group. I couldn't identify  our number because I didn't look around to check others. All I can see was there were some girls talking in front of us. Talking and chatting about something I don't know.


There in front of us an old looking building. So huge that it looks like a hunted building than a school. We were on stairs going somewhere deep, dark and cold. Halfway on the way, we saw a huge hole on the stairs. Strange that none of us felt scared or whatsoever. we continued in way going down the long stairs.


After sometime, we heard noise. Noises. People chattering. There are people to where we're going. A crowd. Then a sudden burst of light blinded me. There are people indeed, young people like our age going somewhere. They're all busy looking for something. Looking on the doors of what looks like a classroom.


We made our way to the busy crowd. My friends and I stood together as we look for our names on every door near us. I took off my cloak because I thought I was the only one wearing it. I really don't like crowds so I paid less attention on everyone. I heard my friend said that the three of us were in one room. I grinned while I am fixing my long black curled hair. A voice from somewhere said "It's you!" I didn't look because there can be tons of other people that voice might be referring to. "It's really you!" I look at his gaze, sensing I am in trouble I went hurriedly out of his peripheral vision. "Hey! hey! Wait up" he said. I didn't look at him. I keep on walking fast. "It's really you! Do you still remember me?" I stopped and looked at him. Well, he's taller than I am. Very manly physique. He has a very beautiful par of deep blue-green eyes and thin lips. I stared at him for a couple of minutes.


MY DREAM GOT CUT.


Then we're inside our classroom. My friends, the guy and I were in the same room. It looked like that the guy and I have feelings for each other. Then I was standing in front of the room and he's doing something on my right foot or leg. Then one of my friends started to make a joke to the guy. Then he got really furious at what my friend has said. He shouted furiously "GO HOME!" then, my friend number 1 went away. My friend number 2 was murmuring something bad. I got my phone and called friend number 1 and asked her where she was and she said, she's lost in the locker room then I looked at friend number 2 to tell her to go with friend number one ( I hope it's not confusing.) Then I looked at him. He sat on a nearby chair looking devastated. I held his beautiful face in my hands and said "I cannot sleep at your place if you're like that to my friends.." Then i kissed his left cheek. I keep on staring his beautiful face .... then...

I woke up!




what do you think?

STOP Child abuse NOW!

This is for child awareness month. STOP CHILD ABUSE!

God loves the little Children. How about you?

Explore Philippines!

There are tons of things that I really can't understand here in the Philippines. Not that I really don't like it here (duh! I've been here since birth, how can I don't like living in here)

There are 5 things that I can't really handle living here.
1. MAJOR Traffic
2. Super High cost of food
3. Pinoys not loving the Philippines
4. Pinoys not following almost ALL RULES at anywhere at anytime
5. Pinoys dependent on each other and Crab mentality.


I really don't have to elaborate these problems... I mean.. Pinoys who live in the Philippines know this for sure! If you don't, then, Come and Visit US! :)




Well, That's just my opinion. Philippines is a beautiful country. We have the best beaches, the most beautiful landscapes and rich land! :) Explore Philippines! Come!

The Ocean called Work

What is working? What is it with working that it's so hard or easy for us to let go? I was just pondering at the moment what am I working for and with whom I am working?

At the moment, as in so many hours of pondering and contemplating on this, I've come up with this illustration:

That work is like an ocean.


Work like an ocean is vast. So many opportunities and so many challenges to face. Every after destination comes another journey that you have to decide whether to pursue or not. 


Work is a never ending travel. You're going to decide whether it's your time to stop and say 'This is the end' or still continue.


If you stop today, what about the other journeys? other opportunities?
