I'll Be There

Whew! Finally got the chance to change the song on this page, lol! You gotta listen to Sarah Geronimo's latest song entitled I'll Be There. It's a very cute song featuring Backstreet Boy's Howie Dorough...

I'll Be There

HD: I'll be there for you
SG: I'll be there for you
( 2 times)

HD:
When the night falls on the world
And you're sad because I'm far away
Just remember you're my girl
Baby, think of how you feel today

SG:
All I know is our love will go on
You can dream me there with you all night long
When you need my heaven simply close your eyes
And keep your heart strong

Chorus
I'll be there for you till the earth stops turning
Playing in your heart like love songs do
I'll be there for you like a candle burning
Just believe it's true I'll be there for you

SG:We got awful close of so fast
It's hard to say our goodbyes

HD:Now I've found you girl at last
I can't forget you If I try

SG:when I'm awake or sleeping you'll be mine

HD:You're the one love I'll keep you fill up my mind

SG:I will count the hours till you're here with me for all time

I'll be there for you till the earth stops turning
Playing in your heart like love songs do
I'll be there for you like a candle burning
Just believe it's true I'll be there for you

SG:When you're troubled I'll be there when you're sad I will be there
When you're laughing I'll be there Just think of me and I'll be there

HD:I'll be there coz you're my star I'll be anywhere you are
When you're hurt I'll feel it too and If you leave I'll go with you
I'll be there for you baby count on me I'll be there for you there for you

Repeat chorus

Bridge
I'll be there for you anytime at all
If you need me I'll go to the wall
You'll be in my mind you'll be in my heart
When I'm close to you when we're far apart ohhhh

I'll be there for you

guess who!?

I just had my confusing moments last week. I can't decide which codename to use for this year's Kris Kringle or Manita-Manito. Then again, i have to make up my mind...



This was last year's codenames: might want to guess, who was I? :)

happy halloween!

Don't wait 'till she looks at you! She has the gaze of a monster!! :D Since yesterday, traffic is already congested especially in streets and crossings where public cemeteries are located. I can just imagine the jampack of people tomorrow. Honestly, i don't like the sight of cemeteries. All the more that i don't like to visit. I get suffocated and i think i'll just pass out any moment because of the heat, crowd, smell and everything. Then again, i should pay homage to my departed loved ones.

While halloween costume parties are very common in other countries, i have to say it's a pitty because their cemeteries are unfrequented. They don't even recognize what really All Souls Day is for. Well, it all boils down to tradition. While we also have halloween parties here, i haven't really gone to one. And i know it's fun! Hhmnnn....

On a lighter note, what excites me most about halloween are the 'kakanins' like puto, budbud and biko! Yummm!

So, everyone, happy halloween! :) Hey, what's that thing on your back???

looking tall, feeling tall

Well, Fridays, most favorite day of the week. To us, it's a no-uniform-day in the office. Hurrah! Goodbye to the lowsy tailored uniforms for a day. To some, this is the day when they could strut their most fabulous if not most outrageous outfits, lol!

Last Friday, most of my coworkers noticed and commented i was especially taller that day. What do you know? Please refer to the above photo! :D (Sakita sa bagtak lagi!)

Miss UN

On my way to work, I noticed that my beloved elementary alma mater is adorned with lots of flags. Oh, October, it's United Nations month. Back then, we usually have this annual Miss United Nations tilt. However, the winner is not determined by looks, presentation or intelligence like any other pageant there is. The winner was determined through a raffle. Each candidate will have to pick a paper and the winner will of course be the one who has picked the paper with the Miss UN title. I never participated in any of those contests not until when i was in grade six. I had to or else i'm incomplete in the requirements for that quarter. I did not won! And i was glad. Because i was Ms. Israel and my costume never had anything that speaks Israel. I just wore a simple dress, nothing more, nothing less. I remember my older sister was once Ms. Turkey and she used a blanket as her gown or cape. How about that? LOL! :D

home care

From where i grow up, taking care of our elders is a tradition. Grandparents and old relatives stay with families and not in care centers. In other countries, old folks choose to live on their own or in care centers. It's probably just a matter of what is being accustomed. A few of my friends and former colleagues are now living abroad. They say that they will still come home and retire here and that there's nothing like home. Well, i couldn't agree more. But if anything, they still have other options too. They could stay in care centers or homecares. The people in these facilities may not be your own family but they're run by health workers who are more versed in taking care of older folks especially the sick. There's this homecare in Grand Rapids Michigan famous for its superb service. I should tell my friends in Michigan about this. I'm not sure how far is this from Southfield. It just came to my thoughts since two of my colleagues are in Michigan right now for a temporary assignment.
