Very Sentimental Me

This song made me cry.

I Will Always Love You
Kenny Rogers


I saw you tonight
in the room where love had started once before.
And we opened up the skies.
With your loving eyes
you take me back where you belong in my heart.

One love frozen in time.
Never be a bad love.
Yours and mine.
But I still remain.
I will never change.

I will always love you.
I will always take your part.
And all the years of losing you.
And then being close to you again.
The very chance that I could take your heart.

Your hand in mine.
You are inside of me.
One more time.
Don't you remember me.
And the days that lie ahead
May all go wrong.

But tonight, my love,
there's no question in my mind where we should be.
It's clear that you're alone and I'm alone.
And all the fools have gone.
You open up so tears can fall from your eyes.

True love can never die.
We can make it one day, if we try.
Be there, sunshine or rain.
I will never change.

I will always love you.
I will always take your part.
And all the years of losing you and then
making love to you again.
The very chance that I could take your heart.

Your hand in mine.
I got a memory
for all time.
Don't you remember me.
Now my dream will come true
if you love me.

I will always love you.
I will always take your part.
And all the years of losing you and then
making love to you again.
The very chance that I could take your heart.
Your hand in mine.

Newbie

This April 8, we got a new baby. Not a he, not a she but an 'it'.

My kids will surely have a great time playing with it.

Welcome home Civic :)

August Highlights

In the hope of not forgetting big things that came in August, I’ll share whatever it is that I remember.

Aug. 3
Got Kenzo’s grades and am proud of the results. Of his 7 subjects, he got 5 perfect scores, 1 mistake in Math and a passing grade in Writing.

Aug.21
We celebrated Ate Rachel’s (Kenzo’s nanny) birthday at MOA where aside from the kiddie playrooms and the bay view we were also able to witness the fireworks that night.

Aug.22
Moments after Papa and Kenzo’s executive check-up, Arisha and I met them in Shangri-la so we could all see “UP” the movie. It was Arisha’s first ever cinema experience and she acted just like any matured viewers would. Kenzo on the other hand was getting a bit bored in some parts but good thing he had Cheeto’s to nail him down on his seat.

Aug. 27
Kenzo recited his 1st ever Tula for the Linggo ng Wika. He wasn’t proclaimed the winner but I was super proud he did have the courage to be upstage to deliver his piece in Tagalog.

Aug. 30
It was mine and Arisha’s executive check up. After that we thought of where to go next. My kids have been pointing on the rides they see in Dora and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. So for me to really give them a feel of what an amusement park would really look like, we brought the family to the Star City. Arisha as always enjoyed a ride at the Grand Carousel while Kenzo the privy just enjoyed some moments with the kids at the little tykes.

My Tribute to the King of Pop

I didn’t realize until today that I was indeed mourning the loss of the King of Pop. I wasn’t crazy about his songs nor his dance moves. I didn’t even fancy about him as millions of people did. And with the ugly rumors that pulled him down, I didn’t even care to know about it. I didn’t love him but I didn’t hate him either. I just wasn’t an avid fan of his and that is what I thought before today.

I lived in his generation and I grew up to his songs. That is the connection of why I felt like he became a part of my world.

Now that he’s gone, I felt the loss. Suddenly, I feel for him. He was the only performer who made me feel that we are the world. I somehow believed he has unified if not at all the entire human race. He gave the people of his kind self respect and confidence by making them feel they are no different. Perhaps, he lived his life for the world.

As I watched his memorial until 4am this morning, I cried and grieved with the rest of the world. I had to say, MJ was indeed the Greatest Performer of All Time and I feel fortunate, I belonged to the time where he once lived.

Gone Too Soon

I am saddened.
Why too soon? When there’s more to see.
His voice is yet the best to my ears three decades of my life.
I was getting excited to hear him sing again.
The wait is over
He won’t come again.
Never again.

Bye, MJ.

Blog Delays

I have a lot of unfinished tasks here in my blog.

1. To continue 2004 to 2008 of my reflection. It's important for me to reflect on these years before the exciting 2010 arrives.

2. I still haven't blogged about Arisha and Kenzo attending a week long trial class in school. It's good to put here teachers evaluation of their performance in school. My kids will need to read it here in years.

3. I still haven't blogged about Kenzo's first week in school. He is a nursery pupil now at 3yo and I am surprised how he is enjoying school this time.

4. The Christian values in Kenzo is very much observed nowadays. When sick and I'd tell him we need to see his Doctor, he'd say "Jesus can cure me mama". Aww, I haven't taught of a Priest or Pastor son yet.

5. I haven't blogged about our very unique ID shots, rebrands and wonderful new changes in our company.

6. I haven't even mentioned here yet that it was our first time to meet and dine with our long time friends and their partners.

My list is piling. Let this be my guide when I finally have a dedicated time just for blogging.

Just Tonight

Just tonight, will just think of myself.
Just tonight, will try to find peace in being alone.
Just tonight.

Am so exhausted...
