takingCHANCES

Randomly, I decided to shift from watchtng the "dragon-ly" production number of ASAP2012 to the very humble show of Party Pilipinas. Out of luck (I guess; one manghuhula told me that a song will remind me of my past), I bumped into this number of la diva singing a very melodious piece which eventually turned out to be my song for one of my prayers this 2012. 

I immediately tweet-ed the lyrics to Jaycee hoping that she knows the song. Hours passed and the song slipped my trying-to-busy mind. 

Around 6:30 in the evening, I found my self drinking my favorite Wintermelon Milk Tea at Moonleaf Naga. All of a sudden, a very familiar guy entered the shop. Since that I'm blessed in terms of "long term memory" (syeeet! amnesia na ata 'to), di ko talaga ma-remember kung saan ko siya nakita. But anyway, care na, its kinda embarrassing din if I'll do the first move diba? (shy-type talaga ako promise).Tik-tok-tik-tok, clock moves so fast as well as my eagerness to remember the name of the guy, until I was pushed by some angels from heaven to do the first "hi-hello-I-think-we've-met" move. (Syeeet, it was so nakakahiya, shy type nga ako diba?). Charraaan. 

Me: Hi. (hiya-meter 10%)

WMT: Hello.

Me: I think we've met before?

WMT: HINDI pa ata. (Syeeet, hiya-meter taas bigla 99%)

Me: Are you sure? I think oo na. (Syeeet, sabihin mo please, YES.sasabog na ata ako sa hiya)

WMT: Ah. Yes, sa MCDO. I saw you with ahhm - him.

Me: Ah yes. Si Dad.

WMT: Sainyo ba 'to? (Mukhang mayaman ako tonight ata - inferness, conversationalist)

Me: Ah. Hindi, friend lang ako.

Sa sobrang hiya - hindi na ako nakapag bigay ng mga witty responses  sakanya.

Epic fail. I guess he thinks that I'm a boring creature. Oh noooo. If only I could bring back time and give him a wonderful conversation from a stranger in Moonleaf. Chos!

But anyway, this experience taught me an important life-lesson. 

Never be afraid to take chances. 

Hope everyone's having a great Sunday! Spread love! This is an empowering song! Take chances! :)

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

healing

This will be my morning and evening song until everything gets better. I know Lord that your love is healing. Keep on healing, Lord. Keep on healing.

AFTER ALL

Well, here we are again;
I guess it must be fate.
We've tried it on our own,
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight.

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new.
Every memory repeats,
Every step I take retreats,
Every journey always brings me back to you.


After All the stops and starts,
We keep coming back to these two hearts,
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall.
After All that we've been through,
It all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
Forever you and me, After All.

When love is truly right
(This time it's truly right.)
It lives from year to year.
It changes as it goes,
Oh, and on the way it grows,
But it never disappears,


Always just beyond my touch,
You know I needed you so much.
After All, what else is livin' for?
