Who We Are Instead

from J, during his listening party

We started out as just members of the e-group. Our common denominator? - We all love the music of Jars of Clay. Since Jars' concert in Manila a year ago, we've become inseparable.

sad sad song

I stayed home because my throat hurts like hell. My three-month immunized state theory proved to be wrong this time (I got sick in november yata). Anyways, I was in my bed, listening to my mp3s when this certain sad song played. There are only 3 persons in the world I know who know this and one of them caused me to forever feel sad whenever I hear this song. Same person who's the reason why i almost always cry when I listen to Home, from Dishwalla's Opaline album. Anyhoot, here's the lyrics of the song which, just now, made the lump in my throat even bigger. I feel like I'm going to suffocate.


Here I am, There you go
SPLENDER

So now you say dirty things that you regret
Try to breathe and relax and get over it
This I know, this I know.

And now you look and you're digging a deep hole
And every word that you say is regrettable
This I know, this I know.

But here I am
There you go
Time's been changing you more than you'd ever know
Here I am
There you go
Ive been waiting for more than you'd ever know.

You can pretend that you don't need a reason
For all the calls on the phone that would never end
This I know, this I know.
So now you're cold and you're tired and you ask me
Try to wave with the hand as you scratch me
This I know, this I know.

But here I am
There you go
Time's been changing you more than you'd ever know.
Here I am
Letting go
I've been waiting for more than you'd ever know.

We'll last, stay here.
While you're not there
Bear with me, please.
Day after day
I'll get my way
Bear with me.

So now you stare at the face in the photograph
You want to scream but you can't get away with this
This I love, this I love.

But here I am
There you go
Time's been changing you more than you'd ever know
Here I am
I'll let you go
I've been waiting for more than, more than you know.

But I know
But I know
More than you know

Here I am (I know, well I know)
Here I am (I know)

The First Christmas Gift(s) I Received

Lemon surprised me this morning with a little sumthin. Lookie here:



Of course she couldn't go shopping yet. But she gave me the most precious gift I could ever get - her unconditional love. My little girl knows me. She knows what would make me happy. And in this illustration she lovingly finished it's obvious that she listens to me, and a lot. She told me, "Mom, 'yan ang gifts ko sa'yo." Then she hugged me. If that doesn't melt your heart then nothing can.

I'm so in love with Lemon!!!

And now a little game. Try to find the following items:
1. a cat (we have a new cat)
2. a bed (I'd like a new bed, we both do. A double-decker.)
3. a house (haha... oh she listens indeed!)
4. a car (I hate my "coding" days. Solution? Another car!)
5. a lampshade (i'm always complaining about how dark our house is)
6. a stove (of my own)
7. a ring (she knows how kikay her mom is)
8. pieces of paper (i'm not that workaholic! hehe..)
9. a handbag (oh how i love bags!)
10. an electric fan (hahaha... she's so observant!)
11. a flower
12. a Christmas card with a Christmas tree
13. vegetables (now this cracked me up!)
14. a picture frame (with a family picture - this shattered my heart)
15. a pillow (i'm a sleepyhead)
16. a snowman (heehee..)

and a bunch of stuff i can't recognize. I'll ask her later.

She rocks my world!
