Another Note to a Father
Dear Lord,
If taking away
something in my life would please You, then let
it be done. Just please teach me to have a heart that
completely trusts in You -- that
You have something in store for me, something much more beautiful, something much more wonderful. And please help me keep that
hope and
faith in my heart, that whatever it is that You're planning for me is way
much better than my mind could ever think of...

When Shall I See You?
Mt. Pulag
Kuya Darwin climbing all the way to Mt. Pulag
I'm dying to climb a mountain...
To experience it's grandeur and beauty.
To feel the peace and serenity that go with it...
Mountain, Oh dear mountain, when shall I see you?
* Photos grabbed from Kuya Darwin's friendster account. :)

A Newly-Found Good Artist
While looking at some random videos at youtube, I came across a cover of this bubbly song being played and sung by an English (or American?) acoustic guitar player (she's got wonderful voice and an excellent guitar skills! Love her cover of Ne-Yo's
Because of You, astig! :D ). The song's title is
"Hello" so I searched on the net the original singer and found out it's
Schuyler Fisk. I checked her website and myspace page and listened to her songs. Amazing, beautiful acoustic songs one would love to listen to. Great acoustics blended with a very soothing voice.
Here are her webpages:

In Your Arms
A song for You...
When You Hold MeJaci VelasquezYou've been so good to me and maybe that's why
I move so carelessly through the greet and goodbyes
I don't notice all the little things, that's why I'm scared
I have been noticing here and I'm needing You here
I've been thinking it over, I've been thinking it over, and I'd like to
say...
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me more, put Your arms around me more
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me Lord, when I'm not worth waiting for
You’re waiting for me
You're all I want to be, and that all I desire
Still I've been running free and I'm getting so tired
'Cause I've been chasing all the little things that take me from You
I've just been noticing I don't know what to do
And I've been thinking it over, I've been thinking it over, and I'd like to
say...
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me more, put Your arms around me more
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me Lord, when I'm not worth waiting for
You’re waiting for…
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me more, put Your arms around me more
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me Lord, when I'm not worth waiting for
You’re waited for...
You’ve waited for me

A Note of Thanks...
The things I went through in the past few days or even weeks were not easy - physically, mentally and most importantly, emotionally. I never thought that leaving my previous company would be "disastrous" and "traumatic", shall I say. I opt not to discuss in detail everything that took place since I filed my resignation simply because they are so painful to remember and re-narrating them just brings back bad memories. I think it's better to just let go of them. After all, I already consider my experience in that company a closed chapter of my life.
I'm writing this entry not to refresh myself of that horrible experience but to remind me how gracious and merciful God was to me when I was going through all those difficulties. It was even more intense and heartfelt at that point when I felt like I was demoralized. God made me realize I wasn't alone. He was there. He never left my side. He never abandoned me. My brother who was the first one I talked to after what happened and whom God used to strengthen me at that particular point in time was there. My friends who patiently listened and comforted me when I was down were there. Yes, God truly reveals Himself in circumstances we badly need Him.
And so, from the deepest of my heart, these words of heartfelt thanks go to the people who served as God's instruments to uplift my weakening spirit and to my Lord Himself whose mere presence I found so relieving...
...thank you, Diko, for encouraging me to overcome my intense emotion. I really cried after our conversation over the phone.
...thank you, Ate Tin, Jeff and Gilbert, for a night spent listening and lifting me up.
...thank you, Joey, for reassuring me that things will be alright soon.
...thank You, Lord, for everything that You've done.
Now, I'm beginning a new chapter of my life with a new work, a new company, a new environment. I hope and pray that God's grace and mercy will continually be upon me as I go on with this journey He has set for me.

Listenin'
Jars of Clay made a wonderful song for me...
There Is A River
Jars of Clay
Album: Good Monsters
There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own,
For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done
And all of those nights
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind
Give it up, Let go
These are things you were never meant to shoulder
There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of those tears, love will atone
So, give up the right
To control the waves that empty out your life
Above wild skies
Are the rays that break the shadows we design
Give it up, let go
These are things you were never meant to shoulder
Give it up, let go
There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of those things, love will atone
I know the world can turn in different ways
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on
And under the signs of how we all behave
We might find the place that we belong
There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of these things, love will atone
For all of those nights, that you cried all alone
All of your tears, love will atone

Karir Daw
Maaga ako nakauwi from office the other night. Pagdating ko sa bahay, in-on ko yung TV for news at 24 Oras yung palabas, Chika Minute segment. Ini-interview si Rufa Mae tungkol sa kanyang career at love life. Nung tinanong siya about her lovelife, eto yung sinabi niya:
"...Para sa akin kasi career ang lovelife. Kung hindi ko rin naman kakaririn, wag na lang..."
She has a point, di ba? ;)

Sweet Sound
Was surprised to hear this from my brother's playlist. I've loved this song since the first time I heard it.
Love Will Find You
Jaci VelasquezOh-oh, oh-oh.
A blue moon
Is the only light that falls upon your room --
Your cold room.
Too soon
There’ll be another empty morning in your life,
But you’ll try again.
Though the sun
Is the only warmth that shines within your heart --
Your cold heart....
Oh how your dreams have been forsaken,
And now it seems your hope’s mistaken;
But just when you’re sure your world is breaking,
(Love will find you)
And It will heal a heart that’s grieving.
(Love will find you)
You’ve gotta see,
You’ve gotta see.
(Love will find you)
When you believed you’d stopped believing.
(Love will find you)
Love will find you....
Bright lights
From the streets that wind a way across the night,
(A way through the endless night...)
Oh the endless night.
You might go on searching in the shadows waiting there,
Already where you run
Like a lost and lonely ghost upon the wind
And cry again.
Hoping to lose the pain you’re holding (you’re holding),
Walk through a door that’s always open (always open)
Into a Promise never broken!
(Love will find you)
Love will find you,
And It will heal a heart that’s grieving.
(Love will find you)
It will find you,
You’ve gotta see
You’ve gotta see.
(Love will find you)
Love will find you,
When you believed you’d stopped believing.
(Love will find you)
Love will find you....
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
You’ll walk the pain that you’ve been holding --
Walk through a door that’s always open
Into a Promise never broken.
(Love will find (find) you.)
Love will find you,
(Love will find you) oh....
(Love will find you)
When you believed you’d stopped believing.
(Love will find you)
Oh, you’ve gotta see.
Oh, you’ve gotta see,
You must believe!
(Love will find you)
Oh, someday you’ll mend the fear.
Oh,...
You must believe (you must believe),
You must believe....
Whoo-ooh,
You must believe. Oh-oh-oh....
...His love will truly find you...

My Love Songs for My Savior
FOREVER -
Hillsong Music Australia
I'll Worship at Your Throne
Whisper my own love song
With all my heart I'll sing
For You my Dad and King
I'll live for all my days
To Put a smile on Your face
And when we finally meet
It'll be for eternity
And Oh how wide You open up Your arms
When I need Your love
And how far You would come
If ever I was lost
And You said that all You feel for me
Is undying love
That You showed me through the cross
I'll worship You my God
I'll worship You my God
I love You
I love You
Forever I will sing
Forever I will be with You
Be with You
YOU ARE -
Gary Valenciano
Chorus:
You are the love of my life
You are the hope that I cling to
You mean more than this world to me
I wouldn't trade You for silver or gold
I wouldn't trade You for the riches untold
You are, You are my everything
I wouldn't take one step without you
I could never go on
I couldn't live one day without you
I don't have the strength
To make it on my own
Bridge:
Until the world stops turning
Until the stars fade from the sky
Until the sun stops rising
I need you in my life
And here's the reason why
