Song Lyrics: Of all the things by Dennis Lambert

Of all the things I've ever done
Finding you will prove to be the most important one
I would never trade the tears
the conversations no one hears
the learning how to walk before we run

Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down
except the one I sent up with you
I dont wanna change a thing
break the spell or cut the string
when every wish I make is coming true with you

Sometimes I forget to say how much I love you
Purposely I bet cause I'm so busy thinking of you

So in this world of odds and ends
I'd rather have a part of you than all of my so-called friends
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I'll start and end with loving you

You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I'll start and end with loving you

Song Lyric: Who am I ?

Sung by Casting Crowns


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Some thoughts to ponder...

Don't fear to give love. Still love as if you've not been hurt before. I know that it wont be easy. We tend to guard our hearts each time, for fear of getting hurt again. But sometimes, we need to take risk, just like what we did in the past. Don't be afraid to love again. It is not your fault that the other can't love you as much as you do. And, it does not mean that you're not lovable too. Maybe, its just that the other find his love inadequate compared to the love that you have given. Maybe, he thinks that he doesn't deserve you at all. The failure of others to love you won't make you less of a person.

Spices of life

In our lifetime, people come, people go, and some stay. Those who stayed, get to have way deeper knowledge of you. You'll treasure them. Those who were gone, nonetheless, contributed a thing or two to the being that you are right now. Maybe, some had hurt you so much that you wished you didn't cross path with them. Maybe, you had said 'I regret knowing you'. But I think, it is so-not-true to say that when you're hurt. Somehow, that pain they caused taught you something about yourself. There you would realize things like how strong you can be, how deep your faith is, how supportive your family and friends are, your capacity to love, and so on. You'd get to understand yourself more deeply. You'll learn in every joy and every pain you have. Moreover, each time you fall, a stronger you emerge. All you need to do is pick up the pieces and stand up. Those spices of life made you what you are today... a stronger person.

The Journey

A year ago, i went on a journey on a stormy day. On this trip, i supposed to find the stuffs to all the things that i long to fix. I brought with me a bag full of broken pieces... a broken mirror, torn pictures, and a broken glass. Along the way, i met angels and demons alike. Some would lure me into places where darkness resides. Some would talk me to go back and find my way back home. But i insisted on taking on this trip deeper into the forest. There i found a glue that can patch a broken mirror. I also noticed that the broken glass i'd brought, was slowly fixed. With only the torn pictures remain unfixed, I was ready to go back home. But I got lost. I didn't know where to go. I could'nt find my way back. I've been there for months, wandering in the wilderness, walking in circles, trying to remember my taken path. Then one day, luckily, i saw someone approaching. He was bringing a torch of light on his one hand. There, he was guiding me back to the lighted path... sending me back home... making me realized things that long been vague to me. Now, I'm home... back into God's loving arms. And, I could'nt thank him enough for what he did. I know, in time, those torn pictures would be pasted back together in the board which they were from.

Bottom line is... Happiness is Love!

For the past years, I've been cynical about the existence of real happiness in this materialistic world. But after some soul searching and lots of digging into the depth of my heart, I've found the answer. Happiness is really all about love. I'm not only talking about romantic love, but love per se. I've realized that love really makes the world go around. If we can open our hearts and do some 'site checking', we'll see how limitless and boundless our hearts can be. Unlike any room, we can invite anyone and everyone in it without the fear that it can accommodate no more. The more we give love, the more we feel happy. When we see those people we love, smiling, we feel this warmth that no amount of money can buy. Happiness truly comes from giving unconditional love... the love without expecting any in return... the unselfish love. Nothing can beat the feeling of loving and be loved. With that, happiness equates to LOVE. And we, humans, are capable of that. If we can only open our hearts to everyone, without any fear of betrayal or distrust. And i think, that's the toughest thing to conquer, but it's all worth it.

Celebrating Valentine's Day

Today is heart's day. But unlike the past years, this year is somehow special. Maybe because he planned something for us. Yeah and I'm kinda excited about it. This is the first time that we will watch a concert together. He's really reaching out to me for the past weeks. He's been vocal to me about stuffs that i wanted to hear from him. But I don't know why I'm still not 100% secured about it. Maybe because there's still some days that he's back to his old-cold ways. Sometimes, I feel like he's been hiding things from me. I don't know! And I don't want to think about it! I've promised myself that from now on, my posts will only be about happy stuffs. Hopefully, in my next post, it would be something uplifting... something that makes my heart smile. And I think, I'm doing a great job in trying to put some positivity in my daily routine lately. Taking one day at a time, soon, things will be what i wanted it to be.

At long last...

At long last, i have another post in here. It's been ages since my last one. I don't know but it seems like i can't even formulate a single sentence or i can't find the topic i want to write about. Maybe, this is really my outlet... my way of bringing out the darkness inside. With that, I can conclude that whenever i don't feel like writing a post, that means that i am emotionally up. I'm glad that those days are done, at last. But hopefully, i can write something happy then; something that can cheer up even the most devastated soul. Hopefully i can do it...in time. I'll just gather my happy thoughts. This is a good start. Happy thoughts here i come =D

Indeed God Sent

There is one person in my life recently who has touched me in many ways. He made me realized what I refused to see for quite some time now. He made me think what I denied to admit even to myself. He's there to remind me of my long forgotten faith. He's there to help me go back to my old and unselfish self. Every word he utters engraves a mark in my heart and mind. Every advice he gave has huge impact on me and made me think throughout the day and night. Maybe, it's because we walked the same path of uncertainty, that's why he knew what I'm going through. But unlike me, he went back to the lighted way weeks ago. And now, he is guiding me back too. Little by little, I am seeing the right way again. All his effort on me will not be wasted. I am fixing things now for the nth time. Thanks Ahia! You are indeed God sent to me!

HOW TO HAVE AN IDEAL RELATIONSHIP

A relationship is a natural, logical and harmonious association. This happens when people want to be with each other and look forward to sharing goals, time and activities together.


1. TALK. Always in pleasant tones. No shouting or swearing at each other. Speak only positive words with gentleness and kindness. Communicate daily. This is the highest and most caring form of love.

2. WALK TOGETHER MORE. Take 30 minutes a day. To exercise, communicate, release emotions, share ideas, goals, and to clear up any misunderstandings. It's okay to hold hands, too.

3. DO NEW AND DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TOGETHER. Enjoy a new restaurant, a different dish, a concert, a unique vacation, attend a class together--- something exciting both of you can plan and look forward to. Learn together and you'll be happier

4. GIVE EACH OTHER GIFTS OFTEN. Like a magazine subscription, a special book, a warm bath and massage, flowers, surprise experiences, favorite foods and the many other special things your mate will enjoy and get excited about.

5. WRITE LOVE NOTES. Hide them around the home--- in clothing, pockets, in the kitchen drawer and secret places. Send some to his or her working place. Write a passionate love letter. Express your love in writing on exquisite stationery. Attach a gift certificate or a crispy P 1000 bill. Use your imagination and make it a fun surprise. And do it often.

6. DO NOT CRITICIZE, CONDEMN OR COMPLAIN! This is a NO-No. Only praise. Acknowledge the goodness in each other. There is no place for negativity in loving and lasting relationship ever! Your mate will do the right thing--- as you lead by example.

7. ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN YOUR IDEAL FIGURE. It is a gift to yourself and your mate. A healthy and attractive body also promotes a healthy relationship.

8. ALLOW YOUR PARTNER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER LIFE. He or she has the right to determine his or her own destiny. Always respect that choice. Both of you can live your lives in your own way harmoniously. Treasure each other's differences. Do your best to make life easier and more fun for your mate.

9. GROW TOGETHER. At the same speed and direction---by sharing similar ideas and activities. This will bond you together even more while building on fond memories. (People who don't grow together will complete their relationship and move on to lead separate lives. This is why most people divorce.)

10. DO NOT BE POSSESSIVE. Don't act as though you "own" your mate. Support, encourage each other's way of living and individual interest. Be grateful in harmony.

11. TREASURE YOUR TIME TOGETHER. It could be your last. Look at it this way and you'll always appreciate each other even more. Have no reason for regrets. Spend time with each other doing all the things you both lo0ved to do. Do it now! Tomorrow mat not come so together plan now for the best of the rest of your lives.

12. IT IS OKAY TO DO WHATEVER PLEASES BOTH OF YOU. In private, there are no limits on what you can do together with each other... as long as both benefit and agree. Whatever other people think of what you do or say is none of your business! So, go ahead experiment--- and satisfy each other to the limit!

13. BE OPEN. To the ideas, experiences and relationships. This is the way for fun, growth and expansion in you lives. The more you learn together... the happier you both will be.

14. FORGIVE AND LOVE. Release the past at every moment. Live in the present. Plan for the future ---together and joyously!

15. BE FREE OF RESENTMENT, ANGER, JEALOUSY, HATRED AND ENVY TOWARD EACH OTHER. This will open both of you to even greater respect for each other. Be thankful to your mate's kindness.

16. ELIMINATE ARGUING TOTALLY. Anywhere, anytime. Especially while eating or in bed. Each person has a right to his or her opinion. Respect each other ideas, philosophy and outlook on life. Be a great listener!

17. SMILE AND LAUGH WITH EACH OTHER. A prescription for aliveness and health. Don't take yourself or your mate too seriously. Lighten up and laugh more often. Remember, your smiles are true gift to each other.

18. LOOK INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES OFTEN. See the love, truth and beauty in your mate. The more you look into each other eyes the more you will love each other more deeply! Do this daily. It's very powerful and fun.

19. TOUCH EACH OTHER TENDERLY EVERY DAY. Hug. Kiss. Caress. These are wonderful ways to show caring love. We all need it more than we care to admit!

20. DEVELOP A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Good food promotes a healthier state of mind for a more meaningful relationship. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole wheat, grains, hi-fiber, low -fat, low calorie foods. Drink more water. Get more rest. Keep yourself cleansed, nourished and balanced.

21. KEEP YOUR HOME, CAR, KITCHEN, CLOSET AND ROOM --- SIMPLE, NEAT, CLEAN AND ORGANIZED. This will help promote a tranquil setting for greater peace and happiness in you lives. It really works! Begin this---today!

22. DRESS YOUR BEST. Be appropriate, neat, clean and proud of you appearance. How you look especially in public--- enhances your mat's choice and appearance too.

23. SHARE IN FINANCIAL MATTERS. If you are married, communicate with each other on all you finances. If you have a family business be sure both are informed on profits, losses, expenses, etc. set your financial priorities together. This will help to strengthen your relationship which is built on trust and sharing. Enjoy building your financial future together. This is important.

24. ACCEPT EACH OTHER TOTALLY. Exactly the way both of you are. Do not try to change each other's uniqueness. Allow your mate to change if and when he or she desires. This promotes everlasting peace.

25. SAY: "I LOVE YOU". Daily, many times, especially when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Say it for the rest of your lives together. Never ever take love for granted. Express it verbally as well as with action. We all need to hear that magical phrase. It reaffirms how we feel at that moment. So fill you lives with millions of love by saying "I LOVE YOU."
