Song of the Moment: Run To You

~Run To You~
(Whitney Houston)

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, oh, a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

*I wanna run to you
Ooh, ooh
I wanna run to you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you
Ooh, ooh
But if I come to you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Tell me, will you stay
Or will you run away?

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh, oh, what's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what this means

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much I wanna run to you...


What a touching song... yup, I can relate to it...
(OST from the movie The Bodyguard.)

Song of the moment: Love always finds a way




~Love Always Finds A Way~
We've said it all
a thousand times before
been to the wall
and always found somewhere to turn
there was always room to learn
We've reached the end
and almost closed the door
and someone went in
I never can remember who
All I know is that
we found the strength to make it through
*Love always finds a way
when the clouds have no silver lining
He comes through shining
Love always sees the light
through the darkest night
in a small way
Love always finds a way
Holding you near
After the storm has passed
It becomes clear
when all our tears have finally dried
that no matter how
we fools may try to turn the tide*
And when those moments
when the magic seems to fade
We must remember then
that's the time to keep on believing
and not be afraid
If we both trust
in what we really feel
The two of us
can hold tomorrow in our hands
all it takes is just
the faith to truly understand

Love's gonna find a way...

Half-day! Grrr!!!..


I woke up this morning kinda late around 7am and I need to be at the office before 8:10 am. Too lazy do go to work... the weather makes me lazy. Raining all night! and you know the feeling you just wanna stay in bed and sleep..zzz

No choice I went to work only to find out that we'll be dismissed early! Grumbling to myself...하!하! anyway, its ok at least I earned this day. ㅋ

Anyway, my Korean student had a cool dictionary IRiver something, it has MP3 and all the works. Here she's modelling her dictionary (isn't she adorable!^^). Am I a good photographer?... Well, I just love my celphone! I can take photos anytime and upload it on my PC.

Food Review: Tapa King restaurant


My friend and I always frequent this place. The place is situated in the heart of Quezon City. Very convenient and its near my place. And our workplace is also near here.

Tapa King specializes in Filipino home made dried beef and pork which we call tapa. Thus, the restaurant's name is Tapa King. They usually serve the beef or pork with garlic fried rice and home made pickled side dish which we call achara (made from grated papaya, preserved in vinegar with grated carrots, raisins and red/green bell pepper).

But that's not all they also serve other Pinoy favorites merienda(snack) like palabok, champorado (chocolate rice porridge serve with small dried fish, similar to anchovies). I love their spaghetti, cooked Filipino style (sweet taste). This time I ordered their chocolate cake (which really looks tempting). It has a caramel sauce in between. My friend and I had a good dinner.

Rating: ****

*****5 stars - the best!!
****4 stars - its worth it!
***3 stars - good
**2 stars - just ok
*1 star - needs improvement

My Cousin's Wedding


Last Sunday we attended my cousin's wedding. My aunt is the godmother of my cousin. I wore a red top and black slacks. The motiff was pink. We're all happy that my cousin finally decided to settle down. She's already 30+ yrs. old.

Brave the weather!~



We work in an English center for Koreans. During bad weather, whether it be raining cats and dogs. We're required to go to school. Brave the weather!

We went to school even if the Department of Education declared "no classes" in all levels. We have our own world.

Rain Outside My Window...

I took this photo this afternoon. It's raining cats & dogs... Getting quite sentimental again. As the rain pours outside my window(actually, our school window ㅋㅋ)... I see a rainbow ahead.

Life goes on...

I believe in you

~I Believe in You~

I always thought that life was sad
For someone who's not free
I felt the chains binding me
from the things I want to see

When you came you changed it all
I've never felt the same
I hate the thought of losing you
There's so much more to give

*I believe in love
I believe in you
I believe in everything
The two of us can do

I believe in miracles
I've seen them all come true
So won't you take a chance with me
Cause I believe in you

One night I looked upon the stars
And saw one shining bright
Guiding me through all the times
When nothing would seem right

Now I've come to realize
There's no else for me
Cause after all the pain I felt
You've come to set me free

그대 지금

그대 지금

Come now inside my heart,
You're telling me about love
I pray that this isn't a dream
My heart keeps telling me that i shouldn't let go of you and that i should be greedy..
it's saying stuff that's stupid

Your love that came accidently..
it wasn't strange at all
But I didn't know that our promised relationship/fate/destiny would become love..
Sometime later, I have to send you away..
but I don't have the confidence to do that
You found the place that I was alone at..
Now you're gonna go back
I knew it was going to happen,
but why does my heart hurt?

Now you're gonna go back to your place cuz' you found the love you wanted
I have to send you, a happy/bliss person,
away with a smile
You tell me about Love while lookin into my eyes, but it's a lightly passing by (small/grazing) love

I'm so happy right now,
it's like i'm dreaming a dream
Now you know that from the beginning we were in love
You found the place that I was alone at..
Now you're gonna go back

I knew it was going to happen,
but why does my heart hurt?
Now you're gonna go back to your place
cuz' you found the love you wanted
I need to send you, a happy/bliss person, away with a smile

I don’t wanna say goodbye to you and I don’t wanna let you go.
Can't you give me your love,
Can you really not
Is it Impossible?

But now I love you so much...
