You First Believed lyrics - Hoku

How many times did I pray you'd find me...
How many wishes on a star,
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid,
Captured in your embrace.

So many times when my heart was broken,
Visions of you would keep me strong.
You were with me all along,
Guiding my every step.
You are all that I am
And I'll never forget.

It was you, who first believed
In all that I was made to be.
It was you, looking in my eyes.
You held my hand and showed me life.
And I've never been the same,
Since you first believed.

There were times when I thought I'd lost you,
Fearing forever was a dream.
But it wasn't what it seemed,
Placing your hand in mine,
You could see in the dark,
You were guiding my heart.

It was you, who first believed
In all that I was made to be.
It was you, looking in my eyes.
You held my hand and showed me life.
And I've never been the same,
Since you first believed.

It was you, who first believed
In all that I was made to be.
It was you, looking in my eyes.
You held my hand and you showed me life.
And I've never been the same,
Since you first believed.

How many times did I pray you'd find me...

How many wishes on a star...

The End...

Every ending for me is somewhat sad. But I guess everything has an end. If the experience we had in the past is not good, we don't need to look back on it. We just have to move forward and be glad that it came to an end. Easy to say but hard to do. But we must do it.

I may be feeling sad today but I hope that this too shall pass. I pray that God will give me strength. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I should not regret whatever choices I've made in the past. I should be thankful for it because it made me stronger and wiser today.

I don't know what's in store for me. I hope that everything will fall into the right place at the right time...

Men are from Mars...

Today, a friend of mine came up to me. She needs me badly. She was crying uncontrollably. Her boyfriend of eight years broke up with her without reason at all. Imagine how long they've been together? And just like that he broke up with her? She was left hanging. All along she thought that everything was fine. Then he just dropped the bomb. He does not want to have the relationship anymore. He does not feel that he loves her anymore. I am just wondering what is love right now. For me, I think love is more than a feeling. Sometimes you don't feel it but still you keep the relationship because you want it. It is a decision you do everyday. To stay in the relationship and the love will just flows back in.

I just wondered why guys are like that? When they decided to end up a relationship they just do it that fast. Are they thinking about their actions? Are they that insensitive? She was told that he needed space. What's that? An excuse of breaking up? Did he not think of all the years they've been together? She was there on his lowest points and now that he is up, he gradually changes his mind?

I don't really know what's happening between the two of them. But still, it's a shocking news. Sometimes, boys are hard to understand. They sometimes think of themselves more. They just do whatever they want to do. That is why we women should not rely on them one hundred percent. We should still be independent and can stand on our own. We should not stop and give up our dreams for them because they could ruin our lives just like that. They could turn around and leave us behind.

Still, don't get me wrong. I still believe in love and happy ever after. I guess that if you are not meant to be, these things happen. It is just unfair sometimes. But life is like that. There are reasons behind all of these. We may not understand it now but the time will come that all our questions will be answered. We just have to keep on going and believe that someday the right love will finally come our way.

To my friend, I will be here. I will accompany you on these dark days of your life. Cheer up!

ANGEL lyrics - Leona Lewis

I feel it, you feel it
That this was meant to be.
I know it, you know it
That you were made for me.
We can't deny this any longer
Day by day it's getting stronger.
I want it, you want it
It's what the people want to see.

We're like Romeo and Juliet
Families can't divide us.
Like the tallest mountain or the widest sea
Nothing's big enough to hide us.
When we make love its overwhelming
I just touch the heavens
You're an angel, you're an angel

I said this world, this world.
Could leave us anyday
But my love for you, it will never go away.
And I don't wanna go to sleep
'cause you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer
You're an angel, you're an angel, you're an angel.

So we take it each moment our love grows
I see it, you see it,
What we have is made of gold
We're so filled with meaning,
Nothing can make us shallow.
So I hold it, and you hold it
The promise of tomorrow.
When we make love its overwhelming
I just touch the heavens.
You're an angel, you're an angel

And I said this world, this world
Could leave us anyday
But my love for you, it will never go away.
And I don't wanna go to sleep
'cause you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer
You're an angel, you're an angel, you're an angel.

I don't need three wishes
Well I just need one
For us to never be finished
For us to never be done
When they say it's over
We'll just say I love you
And when they say it's finished
We'll just keep on building.

And I said this world, this world
Could leave us anyday
But my love for you, it will never go away.
And I don't wanna go to sleep
'cause you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer [x2]

You're an angel, you're an angel, you're an angel.

Yes you are. You're an angel

Heart and Mind..

Sometimes the mind says no but the heart still say yes. I want to forget but my heart still remembers. It is so confusing! sigh! Why is it like this? I just hope that this too shall pass. I will be able to overcome this feeling. Oh please help!

I want to cry but the tears will not fall. My heart is so heavy. I've tried talking to it but it never listens. Oh my!

I don't know what to say. Only my heart really knows everything. I just entrust to God everything. Everything will be okay at the right time. In His time. For now life still goes on with me....

Bonding Time!

My cousin and I are going out together lately. I'm happy that I have found a new company in the person of my cousin. It's been two Saturdays that we went out and really bond. We eat out and drink coffee.

Last Saturday, we buy new shoes together. We had so much fun malling. We have lots of activities planned ahead. I just hope that it would be materialized.

I am looking forward to our next outing. I am sure that it would really be a good time once again. I love my new shoes and pants! =)

JS Prom!

I've just attended a Junior and Senior Prom. It's been awhile since I dress up for an occasion. I curled my hair for a change because I am always wearing a straight hair. My office mates were really amazed of my new look. It was a different me. I also wore a red dress.

The event was really special for the high school students. They look beautiful and handsome that night. I don't know what is the essence of the Junior and Senior prom but I think that it's one way of socialization. It is also the passover of responsibilities of the fourth year students to the third year students. Then fourth year looks forward to a new life after their graduation in high school.

It was a great night of celebration. Everyone was in the mood to party. Everyone made an effort to look good. I did not regret attending it. High school students should not missed this big event that would happen in their lives during their high school life. It is surely a once in a lifetime event worth cherishing when you grow old.
