lifesong
Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon
Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hadn
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life
You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord
Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life
You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light I cannot live alone
Let me stay By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, Oh Lord
Lead me Lord

kuya gave me my bday gift way in advance! haha. he got me a male betta, which i dubbed Hercules Masculado. i dunno why.. when i was thinking of a name for him, it suddenly popped up. and a white long-haired guinea pig, Chloe Butete. now her name was preordained. thanks a lot, kuya! tho i was caught between accepting cash or getting a new company.. well, guess the animal lover in me won. welcome to the most exciting and amazing world - my world, Hercules Masculado and Chloe Butete! :D
James called in a favor and this means Viktoria will crash here for a while. yey! she's my 5 year old playmate. hahaha. she slept over and she's so cute with her innate charm and wit. adorable! she's sleeping now.. and i say she has the cutest snore. :)

I saw - Matt Nathanson
And it's amazing
With the look in your eyes
Like you could save me
But you won't even try
And then you tell me again
How everything will be alright
And if I told you
That I'm sorry
Would you tell me that you were wrong
Or would you hold me down forever
If I came to your for answers
And I saw
Pictures in my head
And I swear I saw you opening up, again
Cuz I would be heavenly
if baby you'd just rescue me, now
And I'm surrounded
You spill
All alive and brand new
And I'll forget about you long enough
To forget why I need to
And I saw
Pictures in my head
And I swear I saw you opening up again
Cuz I would be heavenly if
Baby you'd just rescue me now
The days are
Drifting away from me
I still wake up
Burning through everything
And It's all I know
Somebody save me now
And I saw
Pictures in my head
But I swear I saw you opening up again
Cuz I would be heavenly if
Baby you'd just rescue me now
Pictures in my head
I saw you opening up again
Cuz I would be heavenly if
Baby you'd just rescue me now

it's not a dedication. more of like a call to the wind. Lost Causse - Beck
Your sorry eyes cut through the bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new
Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy; nobody caresBaby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one left to watch your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was forBaby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Blue Eyes - Cary Brothers
Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of youCause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are alignedBut you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are
Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you

Stop Joking Around - Hawksley Workman
stop joking around
for one minute
i'd rather cry right now
and play the sad notes on
the piano
let the rest of the band go home
cos i'll need you
until the morning
please be here
until the morning
hold my hand
until the morning
brings the light of day
to our eyesand smell the burning leaves
in autumn driveways
we'll be out on the road
'til way past supper
and leave the lamp light low
beside the window
if you can mop up a waterfall
cos i'll need you
until the morning
please be here
until the morning
hold my hand
until the morning
brings the light of day
to our eyes
just hop a train
you hate to fly
come see the picture of my eyes
you want to laugh
i want to cry
cry cry cryplease be here
until the morning
hold my hand
until the morning
chase my fate
into your promised land
please be here
****
Move On - Jet
Well I been thinking about the future
But I'm too young to pretend
It's such a waste to always look behind you
Should be lookin' straight ahead
I'm gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
it's hard
If you had've only seen
10.34: Flinders Street Station
I'm lookin' down the tracks
Uniformed man askin' am I paid up
Why would I wanna be that?
gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
it's hard
If you had have only seen
Take control
Don't be afraid of me
'Cause every once in a while
You think about if your gonna get yourself together
You should be happy just to be alive
And just because you just don't feel like comin' home
Don't mean that you'll never arrive
I'm gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
it's hard
If you had have only seen
Take control
Don't be afraid of me

tho this movie isn't a factual, solid account of the events and people it talked about, the Queen did revolve around true stories. it talked about how the constitution handled the death of the People's Princess, Diana. i aim to be no spoiler so this will be painted very vaguely. there's a constant struggle between the traditional and modernist. how can one woman who grew up being the Queen change or bend, much more so, to the ever changing environment outside her palace? this film showed her as someone reachable, more humane. like seeing a fortress weep for its slowly hammered walls but still remains strong for a higher purpose she dedicated her life into. i give it a 4 out of 5 stars. by the by, i adored the start of the film.
Portrait Artist: You may not be allowed to vote, ma'am, but it is your government.
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes. I suppose that is some consolation.
before the movie, we heard mass and i praise God for His Awesome Powers that He let me finish the mass awake. hehehe. i almost didn't feel my head drooping until Kuya nudged me. the second reading was my favorite. 1 Cor 13. the homily was especially touching. i roughly quote, "God is shown in the way we love." the offeratory song was nostalgic.. "Yahweh, i know You are near. Standing always at my side. You guard me from my foes and You lead me in ways everlasting.." Amen. it was a glorious morning. :) after that we went to Super Wal-mart for groceries and knowing i had money in my hands, started to look around for likely things i would buy. first stop, toys! i was looking for the Am version of hulahoops! haha. sadly, they don't have them there. so maybe i'll just look for it somewhere else. then i found this cool zodiac 1000 pieces puzzle! got it immediately! couldn't wait to finish it and put it in a frame even before i bought it! haha. for next time: an image of the spirits of the native americans. (with their animal spirits and everything. i couldn't even come near to describing it but just looking at it amazes me.) we looked around for a book light that i needed for my reading when i stumbled upon one of my paradiso. the candles, vases, flowers and fragance aisle. weee! i got this fresh cotton smelling potpourri. i think one of my heavens will smell like that. it was subtle and soft like a baby on clouds. then i bought a vase for my potpourri. :) looking around, we saw a collection of relaxing cds. the ones compiled for spa and peaceful-soaks-in-the-tub uses. i wanted to buy all of them due to the insane fact that i can't dl anymore cause piracy sucks here! ngargh. but i composed myself and thought, 'i just needed one today. i can get it next time when i have more money.' and guess what? it worked. haha. i bought classical music for reading. love it. :) more to come: spirit dreams (with a clear american indian sound to it. i can almost imagine teepees in the horizon.), piano classics, salsa, peaceful soaks, and dreamsurf (with the sound of the ocean waves.)
i slept all the way home except when they woke me to see the lake frozen up. then we kept on talking about the things we'd do if we walked on it and then hear the ice below our feet creak. and knowing that people die or become sick due to falling in thin ice, would we still want to walk on it? i said i would! :D it's okay to fall in. one thing i'm scared of is when i fall in, i sink below and when i try to reach the surface i find the hole i slipped into already covered in ice.. and then i'm trapped. the end of an era. hehe. :P
and oh yeah! got scrubs 4th season! yipee! now i can start watching the last cd of the 3rd season. :)
all in all, i'm content.
i see You in Nature, in the Heavens on the Earth and beyond the Horizon. thank you, Lord! :)

third grand slam for Roger Federer SUI [Australian Open title]. brilliant play! really a genius at work. damn it! he made me believe he ain't real.. haha. unfortunately, i was too lightheaded to cheer loudly. only had an hour of sleep. and now we're off to Des Moines. huhu. i want sleep. anyhoo, he played crazy good against Fernando Gonzales CHI, who was no so so competition. kaya nde ako makanakaw ng idlip sa gitna ng laro e dahil ang ganda ng game nila. unlike the one Federer had against Roddick USA. talaga namang zzzz time. it was painful for me to watch Andy slip his game that way.. un nga lang, sa last set pa ni Federer ako nakatulog. nyak! ang loser! haha. one more thing i like about him is that he handles pressure well. perfect specimen of the old saying, 'grace under pressure.' yey for Roger!! i love him! :D
Serena Williams USA won the women's title against Maria Sharapova RUS. tho chick si Maria, i liked Serena better. with her big build, there's a softness in her eyes. and after her prime time in the previous years, she slipped due to injuries. but now she's back! and i applaud her for her determination.
nanalo lahat ng manok ko! now who owes me $5?? bwahahaha.
