Songs That Refresh My Soul

Music is my life...its the air that I breathe!!! Whenever I am happy, sad, excited or in whatever mood I am in, there's always a song that would describe how I am feeling. Whenever I feel bad, down or depress, I would calm my soul and revive my spirit by listening to inspirational songs.

There comes a point in our lives that although we are happy with what we have, we still feel down or just sad about something. And in these times, we really need a lot of inspiration, not only from our family and love ones, but also from books and of course from SONGS...songs that would make us light up whenever we are gloomy.

I know its kinda oldies na, but when I read the lyrics of Rico J. Puno's MAY BUKAS PA, I realized that there will be better days and always to think positive...

Two other Worship songs that refreshes me are MY SOUL FINDS REST and GIVE THEM ALL TO JESUS. Whenever I have a problem or somethings bothering me, these songs would remind me to lift up all my worries and fears to God, and that He alone will make me strong and at peace...

For those who are feeling down or just sad...I hope these songs would inspire you like it did to me...

God bless!!!

MAY BUKAS PA
Huwag damdamin ang kasawian
May bukas pa sa iyong buhay
Sisikat din ang iyong araw
Ang landas mo ay mag-iilaw

Sa daigdig ang buhay ay ganyan
Mayroong ligaya at lumbay
Maghintay at may nakalaang bukas...

May bukas pa sa iyong buhay
Tutulungan ka ng Diyos na may lalang...
Ang iyong pagdaramdam
Idalangin mo sa Maykapal
Na sa puso mo ay mawalan nang lubusan

Ang iyong pagdaramdam
Idalangin mo sa Maykapal
Na sa puso mo ay mawalan nang lubusan....


MY SOUL FINDS REST
My soul finds rest in God alone,
My salvation comes from Him
He alone is my rock,
He alone is my salvation
My soul finds rest in God alone,
All my hope I place in Him
He alone is my fortress,
He is my deliverer, I'll not be shaken

GOD alone is my rock and I'll not be moved
I'll find shelter in his wings
HE alone is my stregth and shield
How my heart leaps for joy.
I will ever give thanks unto Him

For you have been my refuge, Lord
A strong tower against the foe
My help in times of distress
My joy in times of affliction
For you have heard my cry o God,
Listen to my supplication
From the ends of the earth I cry,
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I


GIVE THEM ALL TO JESUS
Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows
Are you tired of spinning round and round
Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life
And at the feet of Jesus lay them down.

Give them all, give them all to Jesus,
Shattered dreams wounded hearts and broken toys
Give them all, give them all to Jesus,
And He will turn your sorrows in to joy

He never said you'd only see sunshine
He never said there'd be no rain
He'd only promise a heart full of singing
About the very things that once brought pain


SUNSHINE & RAIN
"No life is useless and no day is vain,
For God has a purpose for sunshine and rain.
All are discouraged and everyone cries,
But we're never alone beneath cloudy skies.
All hearts can break...they're fragile as glass
But God will mend them, and this too shall pass.
Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail,
So follow your dreams whatever the trail,
For no one's a loser who gives it his best,
And you can stand tall above all the rest,
Those who are faithful are noble at heart,
And no life is useless when God has a part.
Be swift to give praise and slow to complain...
God has a purpose for sunshine and rain."

28 & I am Proud of It!

This is sooo looonnnggg overdue...and I am blaming it on the virus that took over our PC!!!

I am proud to say that I am 28 years old already...three more years and I'm out of the calendar...hahaha!!! But so what? I am not ashamed of getting old...I mean all of us are going to that stage anyway. Peole tend to ignore the question when asked about their age...but for me I am not because I am blessed that God still gives me reason to live.
July 27, 2006 was just like an ordinary day for me (waking up, doing some chores and keeping up w/ Paul's kakulitan), but what made it extra ordinary? The people who took the time out to greet me and wish me well on my birthday...
The first person who greeted me? My son Paul (although I had to teach him first...hahaha!!!) then baby Sam - whom I felt inside me moved. Thanks to my hubby Sanny, although he's so tired and sleepy (due to lack of sleep the other night coz he had to take care of Mommy Zeny), he woke up just to greet me with a hug and kiss.
Mapo, thanks for being the first person to text me. My KUYA B, who texted me @ 1am (busy with patients in the emergency room), my "rockistang" kapatid JC, and my younger "pogi" brother SEAN. My sweet cousins: Ate Bubette & Milette (my sis kuno)...My college barkadas: Det (yummy choco cake), She (i love the cologne), Carrie (ever reliable), Michelle (tnx for the lotion), and DYO (surprised gift? hehehe)...My kumares: Dea & Julie... My sister and brother in the Community (GOD LOVES)...Sis Richie & Bro Gener... and my ninong (although I wasn't able to take his call) Bro Rolly...
Of course thanks to my DAD, who welcomed us to his home...My MOM, who emailed me a very touching e-card..and also who sponsored my birthday lunch and dinner!!!
Lastly to GOD ALMIGHTY, who's always there for me and blesses me with so much!

Together Forever ... StickwitU...My LOVE!

"Love is blind...Marriage is the eye-opener." - Herman de Zwaan
I am always excited whenever I am coordinating a wedding. Not only because of the service fee (hehehe!!!) but because it brings me back to the state of being a bride again. Weddings are a very blissful occassion, people are in a festive mood and I can really feel LOVE is in the AIR. But after the wedding ceremony and reception, what happens?
Marriage is a COMMITMENT & people often forget its meaning especially when they are sssoooo much in love - living in a fairy tale, saved by his prince and will lived happily ever after...That is why the rate of divorce and annulment are so high. They realized after marrying the person that its not so animated anymore and more likely a reality show...hahaha!!!!
Why do some marriages fail? Is love not enough? There are a lot of reasons why marriages ends up in separation...and I think one reason is not knowing your partner enough. I know...you can never really get to know someone unless you live with him/her under one roof. But still, one can discern a person through his/her relationship with their family (especially with their moms), friends, co-workers and less fortunate people...their attitude towards their work, interests, politics, and etc...
I've been married to Sanny for 3 years now and yet there a still things I've discovered that I haven't known before. But, before I married him, I already knew what kind of person is he. Living with him for the past years, I realized and I can truly say that I did not made a mistake of marrying him. Although not perfect, he has some habits which irritates me a lot, still I can say that I am loving him more everyday! I am so much blessed by God because I do not have problems with him like some wives have with their husbands...I am talking about the 3 deadly Bs...babae...bisyo...& barkada!
Putting Christ in the center of our relationship is helping us cope up with the pressures and problems in life. Inspiration to be better parents for our children also make us work harder to stay stronger "TOGETHER...FOREVER".

I know Sanny and I still have a long journey to travel towards the golden wedding anniversary, but between now and 47 years from now, I am definetely going to "STICKWITU"!!!

Together Forver

So don't cha worry about

Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

Its The Hormones!!!

I haven't entered any post lately and I blame it on Trojan - the virus who sucked out the life of our pc....

Since our pc suffered the virus on the day of my birthday, I had a hard time logging on...not on the net, but logging on to my thoughts...hahaha... Its my so called sickness... "pag natigil, ang hirap simulan ulit..."

But what's worse, is adding this pregnancy hormones to my existing so called sickness...and presto -- KATAM...hehehe...KATAMARAN!!!!

Due to these hormones, not only do I feel so "tamad" but I also feel so miserable. I have a lot of negative thoughts, which even watching tv and sleeping is hard to do. Playing with Paul is even worse, coz I can't stand his "kakulitan"... I end up shouting at him!!! Hay!!! I feel so guilty...bad mommy!!!!

I have still not posted my fun and memorable lunch date with my college dabarkads...still haven't posted a lot...its all written in my notebook...hay...so until this "depress-depressan" disappears...I think this will be all for now...
