The Half-Blood Prince

i wish i could just read the book continuously....unfortunately, i have to work....hehehe....although it is so tempting because what I have is the e-book...and i can easily read it from my computer without looking as though i'm not working ....but i still have a lot of stuff to do....have to finish this before the end of the month....

anyway...this song has been playing in my head for the longest time....and i really think it is such a great song....i especially like the way it was revived by nina...

Love Moves (in Mysterious Ways)

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
So blame it on my heart,oh...

Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
Of how you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close never ever let me go
Even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no...

Like the ticking of the clock
Two hearts that beat as one
But I'll never understand
The way it's done, oh...

Love moves in mysterious ways

a perfect song for weddings...actually this was played during the wedding of my cousin...and it really was fit for the occasion....

music

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
- Victor Hugo

Very much true, indeed....there are songs that really cut through your heart...like this one song...

Anything for you
Though you're not here
Since you said we're through
It seems like years
Time keeps dragging on and on
And forever's been and gone
Still I can't figure what went wrong

And I'd do anything for you
I'll play your game
You hurt me through and through
But you can have your way
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
And though you never see me crying
You know inside I feel like dying

I'd still do anything for you
Inspite of it all
I've learned so much from you
You made me strong
Don't you ever think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye
I hope you find someone to please you
Somone who cares and never leaves you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to

And I'd do anything for you
I'll give you up
If that's what I should do
To make you happy
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
And though inside I feel like dying
You know you'll never see me crying

Don't you ever think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye

Don't you ever think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye
I hope you find someone to please you
Somone who cares and never leaves you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to

realizations....

this past week was quite stressful and tiring for me...but at the same time it was a learning experience too...

my lola died last thursday and although we were quite prepared for this, you can't help but get quite emotional especially because we were the ones living with her...though when she died, she has been living in las piñas...for a couple of months, she was living with my aunt (her only daughter) and they were the ones who accompanied her to the hospital saturday of last week...it was sad to see my dad and my mom get so affected by her death...for years...i haven't seen them cry (the last time i remember them crying was during the death of my lolo which was more than a decade ago)

i realized a lot of things during this time of mourning...it was then that i realized that i was no longer a little girl...that i was already capable of doing things that before were, in my opinion, done by grown ups...it was then that i again realized how important my family was to me....it was then that i realized that when a person leaves you, it is really then that you realize how important he/she is to you...and no matter how often you have misunderstandings with someone, you will somehow miss that person....

i admit that my lola and i don't really get along that well...but come to think of it...i will still miss her...and her kakulitan....her continuous asking of "asan na si cris?" which sometimes goes on for at least 10 times a day....i will surely miss the way she makes small talk...how she claps her hand like a child when my mom tells her that she cooked her favorite puchero for dinner...how every night, before she sleeps, she does not forget to put on her lipstick...there are still a lot of things i can enumerate that i will surely miss about her...but one thing's for sure, i will never forget her...

i know that she is in a better place now, where there is no pain, no sorrow and no sadness....i know that she's now enjoying her time with my lolo and i do hope that she is happy and is at peace....
for everyone who went to her wake and offered their prayers and condolences...for those who gave flowers and mass cards....our family would like to extend our gratitude...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
