Congrats!!!

Proficiat for Vox Angelorum. Gosh!! I am so proud and so happy...and almost drop my tears....had all the goosebumps when I heard about that exciting news: Gold Medal for Musica Sacra a cappella, and Silver medal for Mixed Choir.

So proud...though I wish I was still part of it...but, I am so happy, I even sent my mom a text message to let her knows, I guess now everybody at church already heard about this news!

my broken bridge

Can you re-build the broken bridge? Though I didn't burn it with fire, it would still be difficult to do. But I have decided to try. It was me who destroyed it, now it's my turn to fix it.

I still don't know if this is the right thing to do? At least, the missing number has just returned (NY, huh?), and it was truly a rainbow on my birthday.

Well, again, I will just have to ask Him, if He agrees that the bridge would need to be re-build and make it to the end of my journey, I'll do. But if not, I can't against His will, can I?

deja vu

I asked my Lord
to make someone disappear
if that what His will
I guess, be careful on what you wish
cause now He had answered my prayer
still, I am puzzled with reality
trying to absorb with my tiny human brain
asking how could it be?
The creator of the world works in His way
and I would never understand that
this is what I asked
and like magic, the impossible thing seems to be possible
like deja vu
suddenly I know what the reason of the disappearance
not logically
but I would accept in my confusion
because that what He has done for me

Another tsunami??

Gosh!! I almost can't believe my eyes when I read the news this morning at work: another tsunami in Indonesia...people died were "only" 80, and this evening when I read the news online again, the number jumped into 260 people died....I really hope tomorrow morning there won't be any change for those number, it's a matter of people who died, and suffered...

I just can't believe what's happening now in my country...disaster of disaster just keeps coming by, people just dying everywhere....


And now, how many more people have to die....?

A night in Manila

My singing friends just threw an early birthday party for me today, now I am so stuff with bagoong and adobo. It was a nice thing for me to have them celebrate my birthday. Though I don't speak their language (and actually that was fine, as long as there is food - despite my body size, I am a big eater - I would be fine, no matter where I am and no matter who the people surround me, and what kind of language), but I didn't feel like an outcast.

Besides, sincerity, honesty and kindness speak in their own language. I don't have to be able to speak Tagalog to understand that.

The answer that I'm looking for....

I feel….disappointed. Never thought how less my value is, just when I thought I am more than just a person passing by. But I must stop here, I can’t keep on trying to fly when I know I broke my wings….I must try not to get to close with the fire when I know how much it could burn me…and I’ve been burned already.

I know, I know….I know what to do, I just, *sigh* just can’t believe that this is it. As if I am nothing, I am nobody. And it hit me so bad when I realized that…..after all these times, after what I’ve gone through…It's not that I was an important person, but I thought, at least, I was something....

And the second one came when I realized, someone else just flushed me out from life...no email, no number, nothing. Not that I was surprised, especially if I remember what I did, and I deserved to be flushed out. It just that, sometimes I just can't believe how fast people move on, and haw fast their lives go on.

Another question and need another answer...a few years ago I was fighting just to get a single answer without any luck, and I decided to surrender and gave up. Now, I don't know if I will ever get my answers while I've been trying to find, or should I just let go, move on with the rest of people, and just keep the question silently inside my heart?

IL DIVO

I'm in love...with four guys....:))
Nahh...it's not what you're thinking, what I meant is, I'm in love with Il Divo, four guys with amazing voices and dress in Armani suits. What not to love about that, huh?

Anyway, I saw their concert last week on July 1st with Jeff, and, it was a breath-taking. Before, I hate concert, because concert reveals the real voice of the singer, and makes their recording sounds fake. BUT! Il Divo is really different, no flaw with their ability of singing. During the concert, they sang in perfect pitch and perfect melody. Even as a female, I envy their voices.

When I was little, I used to listen to The Three Tenors because they're my dad's favorite. I like them too, but sometimes, it's just too classical for me. But listening to their voices had trained me to get used with good quality of singing. And Il Divo, with their pop-classical kind of style, has made me to like them more, a lot. And believe me, listening to these guys singing in Spanish, Italian, and French -though I have no clue what the meaning, except the ones in Spanish- is really such an enjoyment for your ears, and feelings. Well, mostly all their songs are about LOVE, yeah, what not to like about listening to love songs? ^_^


So now, I am officially one of their fans. I have all their albums, and can't wait till their 3rd album comes out.

And just a little note, if any of you are expecting a true-opera style from Il Divo, you might yourself in disappointment, because they are not. I say they are more to a pop-crossing-classical, meaning their songs are very easy to listen. And that’s why they still have one person in vox-populi instead of all tenors or put one more baritone, to get into the pop-culture market. And I think that’s what Simon thought when he created this group.

The Devil Wears Prada

I wanted to see this movie ever since I saw the preview: I have the book, read it and I think it's great. The movie, it's ok; the glitch, I can't really see Meryl Streep as Anna Wintour resemblance, and when I read the book, I always have imagined Mrs Wintour as Miranda Priestly. But anyway, for fashionistas, it's a must see movie (many times I really get the picture of my work when I saw that movie). And for my friend, she said how Mrs. Priestly reminds her with her real boss. Poor her, I feel really sorry and wish I can do more than just asking how is she? Her last day will come soon, and she is forced to do that. She doesn't want to leave the company, but her situation made her to leave.

Prada, Gabbana, Chanel. Sigh....I can translate that with Tommy, Nine West, Calvin Klein.



In the end, we all have to make our choice. And as always, NY looks so wonderful, even when I thought I forgot about her, every time I feel that she calls me to come to her....

At least, I really have no regret that I am not working in the field that I studied in college. I know how people always think that fashion people are dumb and stupid (in some occasions, yes, I would have to agree with, but can you imagine all the intrigues and how fast it evolves? All about changes, and that's what makes me so obsessed about it) while all engineers are clever and smart. I have fought with so many people including my dad for my own choice, just because I decided to follow my passion and desire instead of his. Although I must be ready: to be thought with the same stereotype. But it won't bother me anymore. I know myself, and I know I made the right choice.
