is it okay if I call you mine

i never really knew this song (yeah, I'm not really a big fan of old songs) until the time when paolo santos was getting popular. we were sharing paolo santos' acoustic mp3s left and right and I got this song from one of the p2p programs I had then. when I heard the lyrics to this song, it was an instant favorite. there's something in the words that struck a cord and this song became one of my all time favorites. I guess what I like about this song is that its hopeful - it does sound sad in some parts because of the longing to be with someone you can't have but I love it because you can feel how much love this person has for the other. I guess at one point in my life, I was that person that's why this song really means to me.

Is it ok if I call you mine just for a time?
And I will be just fine
If I know that you know that I'm wanting, needing your love

If I ask of you is it alright
If I ask you to hold me tight
through a cold dark night
'cause there may be a cloudy day in sight
and I need to let you know that I might be needing your love

Now what I'm trying to say isn't really new
It's just the things that happen to me when I'm reminded of you

Like when I hear your name
or see a place that you've been
or see a picture of your grin
or pass a house that you've been in one time or another
it sets off something in me I can't explain
and I can't wait to see you again
Oh babe I love your love

And what I'm trying to say isn't really new
It's just the things that happen to me when I'm reminded of you

so can see what kind of blog this is going to be … something where music takes on a lot of meaning.
I guess you can find just about any kind of music to suit your moods or just is suitable for a particular moment.
it becomes part of you and you just remember what it means everytime you hear it.

what does it take

what does it take - honeymoon suite

 

The two of us are one of a kind

This combination ain't easy to find

But why do I get a feeling from you

Things ain't right?

Do you need something new?

Knowing how both of us live

Leaves us so little to give

 

If I could grow wings

I would do anything

Just to keep you with me

Cant you see?

If I could fly high

I would give you the sky

Don't you make that mistake

What does it take?

 

It's not like I've been mean to you

Its not like I've got something better to do

The life I live you'll never understand

If you fly with me we'd never have to land

Its easy to live hard and fast

But inside we know it wont last

Oh yeahhhhhhh

 

Knowing how both of us live

Leaves us so little to give

Yeahhhhhh

 

hearty seconds ...

finally got dj to help edit my blog page.  i had to remove dj's link from my blog page because there are stuffs in his blog that others may not find amusing.  there are only a few people who knows about dj's blog address - its really a nice read.  i always get a kick reading his blogs - they're quite  fun to read especially if you have a sense of humor.  i don't know if i can make my blog that exciting to read but that is really not the reason i've created this blog.

 

i've been stuck home yesterday and today because i wasn't feeling very well with colds and a slight fever.  i feel better today actually but i decided to just work from home because i know that if i work in CV today, the cold will make me sick again.  working from home is actually better for me : (1) i get to work while downloading the latest episodes of all my favorite US TV series in my other pc; (2) i don't have to drive for 2.5-3 hours to & fro; (3) it saves gas (though i don't really need to ... but hey, helps mother nature); and (4) i can rest when i need to.  ok, so the last item might be too much of a giveaway.  so sometimes i do slack off --- not so much though, i do compensate for it by working earlier, like at the wee hours of the morning or at any ungodly hour when i have to pick up the pace.  i do meet all my deadlines.  i guess after eight years of working, you do pick up a few tricks that makes you work smarter.  so there you have it ... i'm not a super workaholic like arlene, i'm not a super serious worker like raf ... i prefer to see myself balanced between work & fun.

 

i started downloading 'rome' yesterday.  its a series about 'rome' and julius caesar and some soldiers from hbo.  its actually pretty awesome.  the story is quite interesting and i started watching it when i was in the u.s. a few weeks back.  i can't believe it wasn't part of my download list when i got back.  well, i'm now downloading episode 4.  so i am pretty much catching up.  ever since i got dsl, i've been downloading every tv series that interests me non-stop.  its like a drug -- i'm hooked watching oc, one tree hill, desperate housewives, lost, nip/tuck, supernatural, reunion and alias.  they're just so damn addicting and i think i managed to infect some of my officemates already with this addiction to these tv series.  can't wait for next episodes ....

 

 

somebody's miracle

somebody's miracle
liz phair

I'm so far, So far away from it now That it seems like I may never know how People stay in love for half of their lives It's a secret they keep between the husbands and wives Baby There goes somebody's miracle Walking down the street There goes a modern fairy tale I wish it could happen to me But I look at myself Wondering if I'm just too weak To have such faith in myself Once upon a timeI was so restless in love When things were fine I'd change my mind just because Now I see how wrong and reckless I've been Each frog has a prince just waiting inside of him Baby There goes somebody's miracle Walking down the street There goes a modern fairy taleI wish it could happen to me But I look at myself And I think what the hell Maybe I'm just too naive To have such faith in myself You know I'm praying for it But the queen She likes to sit on her throne Doesn't mean You two are never alone It's just love has needs that love only knows Watch a couple stay close It's like the bloom of a rose Baby There goes somebody's miracle Walking down the street There goes a modern fairy tale I wish it could happen to me There goes somebody's miracle Walking down the street There goes a modern fairy tale I never cry out loud I keep my tears to myself But I woke up one day and I found my life Had left me for someone else I guess it must be unhappy with me Baby There goes somebody's miracle Walking down the street There goes a modern fairy tale I wish it could happen to me But I look at myself Wondering if I'm just too weak To have such faith in myself You know I'm praying for it You know I'm praying for it You know I'm praying for it You know I'm praying for it

a new beginning ....

I finally managed to set-up my blogspot after a long wait. I've set-up accounts with Yahoo 360 and friendster and have had a hard time updating those spots as well. I remember that the only stuff i managed to update at yahoo was my boracay trip. Then my 4-wk business tour around the US between september and october. i was supposed to say something about my malaysia trip 2 weeks ago but i ran out of words to say so i just went ahead and closed the damn blog.

i've been reading a number of my friends blog and they have been very interesting indeed. i think reading some of them helps you get to know them better. you learn things you would not otherwise know because there are a lot of things left unspoken at the end of the day. blogs gives you a chance to do that. i guess the only thing about these blogs is that they're not that private - if you choose to make it private, doesn't seem to make sense publishing it on the web right? why not keep it in your laptop or something? so in a way i guess i'd better be careful what i say here ... but then again, i'm not known for being subtle.

i talked with my boss' boss this lunch and we discussed mostly updates on my work. i think i've come a long way in contributing something to their team considering i've only been there for a month. but let's not talk about that ... i raised up today the opportunity for a US relocation via the ao ie opening arnoldo has been reserving for me. yes, you got it ... there's one more req in ao right now that arnoldo has not opened yet because he is waiting for me. i now believe my networking skills are getting me somewhere. joan asked me whether it was ao i was really interested in joining or whether it was working in the us is what i am mostly interested in doing. i said it was more of the latter. she mentioned that she can check if i would be open to doing some stint in fsm instead and i told her that it was very interesting. although it will be a <1yr>

we're still searching for a house ... so far, we have not been able to find another house like the one in ortigas st. that was a dream house - i stood there and i knew it was the one. but like in real life, you rarely get what you want. sometimes, you have to settle for the next best thing. i guess it just wasn't meant to be. God will help us find the right house for us.
