My Time With You

How do I start this?

Should I start from the good things to bad or the other way around?

Should I try to recall the best times or unearth the really worst moments that I would wish never happen?

Should I shed tears of joy or tears of hurt?

Should I shout your name out of longing or curse you out of anger?

Should I see your smile warm like the sun or your eyes made red with tears?

Should I see you at all?

Should I?

Maybe I shouldn't.

Food for Thought

"Being active in church does NOT guarantee holiness nor goodness of the heart. It's ONLY guarantee is to make you aware of the gravity of sins. It can only make you religious on the outside but cannot stop you from being SINFUL."
Some of the most vile crimes against humanity were committed in the name of religion. Read on the history of the REFORMATION and the COUNTER-REFORMATION. And discover why a religious order was nicknamed "Hounds of God."

A Little More (song)

by Lisa Stansfield



give me more love
give me more time

i can't understand it,
maybe you've found someone new
tell me what did I do wrong,
what did I do?

lookin' in your eyes now,
i don't see the love we had.
i don't see compassion,
and i don't see anything.

give me just a little more love
some more to tide me over
give me just a little passion
give me just a little more love
and a little more time.

i don't see the reason
why you should be so unfair
but I have seen it comin',
seen it hangin' in the air

baby, when you hold me
you don't touch me like you did.
but still I want you by my side;
baby, I'll do anything.

give me just a little more love
some more to tide me over
give me just a little passion
give me just a little more love
and a little more time

i can see you're slippin' away from me
but i still feel the magic sometimes when we touch
you and me, ooh it has to be
'cause baby without you,
i don't think that i can carry on

give me just a little more love
some more to tide me over
give me just a little passion
give me just a little more love
and a little more time
(i'll do anything)

give me just a little more love
(anything)
give me just a little passion
(hmmm, baby)
give me just a little more love
(ooohhh)
and a little more time
(give me more love)

give me just a little more love
some more to tide me over
give me just a little passion
(passion passion)
give me just a little more love
(little more little more love)
and a little more time
(tell me what did i do wrong? ooh)

give me just a little more love
(more love)
give me just a little passion
(little more passion)
give me just a little love
(a little more, little more love)
and a little more time.

Last Saturday At Willie Revillame's Show

Just saw this at Willie Revillame's Show. A girl contestant was asked to introduce her father. The girl (she's about 10 or 11 yo) said "Pinakikilala ko po ang tatay kong BABAERO."

At the Local Bakery

This morning, I went to the local bakery to buy some pandesal, the native staple bread. Since it is the only bakery nearest within our vicinity ("sitio"), the place is packed on Sundays with people buying their breakfast fare of the local bread and choice spread. The waiting time at moment was 15 to 20 mins. There's a crowd of 20 or more people when I got there, all turning in their orders of either "malambot" (soft) or "tostado" (toasted) with the corresponding amount of 10, 15 or more pesos. I put in my "trenta-trenta" meaning two orders of 30 pesos each worth of pandesal. Why the two orders of 30-peso instead of a single 60-peso order? There's some logic to this and my dad was responsible (But that's another story to be told at another time)

As I waited for my orders, I slowly became conscious of the idle talk around me; ranging from the mundane to simply comical slips of the tongue.

"Ate, bente pong pandesal." - a kid
"Sandali lang... Bumaba ka dyan... Masisira mo yan eh..." - head attendant of the bakery talking to the kid. She's a bit on the mean-side.
"Pun***a! Ang tagal naman nung babae yun. Kanina pa kami dito ah." - a man with three visibly irate kids in tow. he's referring to one of the assistant attendants who took his order.
"Kuya, ikaw ba yung binti pesos?" - the head attendant again, asking me if I ordered the 20 pesos worth of pandesal.
"Saan na kaya yung katurse?" - the head attendant yet again, asking herself who ordered the 14-peso pandesal.
"Buntis na ba siya ulit? Di nga?" - one of the women chatting away while waiting.

"Ate, dalawang Marlboro nga." - a man in a basketball outfit, apparently just came from a basketball game on the nearby street court.
"..dapat not guilty ang sabihin nya... Pag guilty, wala tayong hearing... sa Makati City Jail o Bicutan mo na siya bibisitahin.... Dalawa lang yun... guilty or always not guilty." - a neighbor with absolutely no sense of the appropriate voice volume; talking on the cellphone.
