Boyce Avenue came together as a band on 2004 by brothers Alejandro Manzano, Daniel Manzano and Fabian Manzano. From then on, they have done a lot of cover songs and now a youtube sensation! I so love this band!
Here's my favorite song, of course it's one of their original song "On My Way." This songs pertains to a girl that he has never met, a girl who has gone through a lot. Telling her not to lose hope on love because he is on his way to her, to leave a space for him to come into her life. So sweet! ^_^
When you learn to make the right choice, the ones that God has planned for you, everything just falls into the right time and place. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice a little because you can't have everything, if you have everything you might forget to call on Him.
I feel so blessed to have a loving and supportive family!
30 January 2015, my first time after so many years to commute ALONE this far! It's good that there's tons of public buses from Cavite (with air Condition of course!) to wherever in Manila. Here's my journey .... from Cavite I took the bus going directly to the MRT Taft station which took 1 hour and 20 minutes (not bad though, considering the moderate traffic and gazillion stops), then took the MRT (Metro Rail Transit) from Taft to GMA/Kamuning. That ride took only 30 minutes and lots of sight seeing of the buildings, not only that, but good thing that male and female are separated saves you from some A****LE men oooppps excuse my french! From the station I took a cab! Very easy! Saves you time, gasoline and stress free! I did it!!! * Ended the day with Mojito! ^_^

There are so many things that I am able to do here in the Philippines which cannot be done in Saudi Arabia, like, walking around without the Abaya on (black dress). Little things are big things for me now and makes me so HAPPY! It makes me appreciate life even more!
"We're a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness -- and call it love -- true love." by Robert Fulghum, True Love
Just stumbled upon this quote. There are still so many strangers that comes into your life, but there will always be that one certain stranger that will catch your attention.
God has
already planned our life. We may question Him why difficulties comes our way. Remember
we were given our free will, mind and heart to make choices. Difficulties may
come as a resort of wrong choices. Accept this difficulty in order for us to go
back to what was planned for us by God. The plan that will make us prosper, give us hope and a better future.
Pray
and seek help from Him, pray that He may lead you in every decision that you
make.
Have faith.
God is always with us.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
There is no perfect relationship, because even though two persons are bonded by love, they are still different people with different views in life. In reality, every happy relationship has still its difficulties. But if the love of the couple is established, even if trouble comes they will still find Clarity because for them their love makes sense and both feels good with the love they give and the love they receive.
I hope I made sense ^_^
If Love makes the world go round, then I am happily dizzy ... happy in love!
Enjoy listening and sing-along with my cover song of Clarity popularized by Zedd
This is the time of the year ... When I always wish I still have my Mama physically beside me. I wish I could see her expression when I greet her on Mother's Day. I wish to hear her great laugh with excitement when I share my success in life. I wish to feel her warm hug whenever I am lonely and happy. 21 years with the Lord in Heaven .... all I can do is wish. But I have always believed, she never left me and my siblings. She make ways to let me feel that she is always beside me. Dreams, butterfly, and even through other people. She has been there to guide and protect me. She is my guardian angel.
This month is very special to me as it is my Birth Month. In this very long month it has brought me a lot of realizations, and knew the truth behind the questions on my mind. It has made me shed tears and has also brought me back that RADIANT SMILE again.
March 2013 is a special month for us as we commemorate an important event in our Christian Life ... The Holy Week which reminds us how Jesus Christ died for us and saved us from our sins. And as we end the Month of March we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. Blessed are we to have Him as our Saviour, and let us bring back the Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us cast away fear, anger, bitterness and lies in our hearts. Let us Live Life in the Likeness of Jesus and embrace His unconditional and undying LOVE.
Happy Easter!
Let this be the start of a new beginning.
"When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window."
This
has been long overdue, but nevertheless I would like to share to all how I celebrated
my birthday last March 2012. It was a time where I was dealing with things that
have made me wonder what life has in store for me. Difficult time it is, but
with the Grace of God I have surpassed another challenging chapter of my life
Patients in Tanzania
Going
back to my birthday celebration, one day my friend and colleague Maria shared
to me that our friend Pamela will be going to Tanzania, officially the United
Republic of Tanzania a country in East Africa. It was not just for pleasure but
she has unselfishly volunteered to serve in one of the orphanage where children
has AIDS. They have decided to pitch in financially to buy stuffs that would be
of benefit to those kids such as medicines, educational materials and toys.
From there, I emailed my friends and told them that I was not going to
celebrate my birthday but instead I will donate the money that I was supposed
to use to treat them in some fancy restaurant.
Of course my friends did not object on that!

It’s
always a great feeling to share and help people who are less fortunate
especially on my birthday. I usually do it on Christmas time though.
I thought
my birthday would be quiet, I was very touched when my friends surprised me in
my office, brought me cake, flowers, gifts and food that we happily shared. It’s
really great to have friends who take time and effort to remember you on your
special day and make you extra special. I like surprising my friends on their
birthday but I hate to be surprised, but on this instance, I loved every moment
of it! My friends are like my family and I thank God for giving me such great
friends!
GREAT FRIENDS! (not complete though ... )
Share
with all your heart and according to your will! Sharing is not only on special
occasions, it is not only in the form of money or material things, it is also
sharing your time, effort and care to others.
Thank God for the year 2012 and thank God it is OVER! Last year has brought so many laughter, tears, excitement, opportunities and a lot of learning. Every new year we have our resolutions, that is most of the time to be better from the previous year. But I guess we don't have to wait for another year to change, we can always change any time we want to. However, we should change because we feel that we need to, not because others says so.
They say when you grow old, you get wiser, and at my age I still learn a lot from life. Learning is a never ending process and it does not mean that we only learn from school. It is through our experiences and from other people around us that we learn the best and "not so best" things in life. It's not about numbers, formulas, grammar, but it is about how you live towards being a good person. I am gonna share to you what I need to change from year 2012, which I admit have known it for years but I am just too stubborn to really accept the fact that I am being too much of it and that I have allowed it to somehow make my world crazy.
I have came to realize that I am the type of person, who, I may say have too much of what I call the 3 A's. Analyze, Assume and Anticipate. In most of the situation that I am in, I Analyze every detail of it, unfortunately I could not get help from Google or Wikipedia and that makes me go ballistic! Then comes next, Assuming. I would like everything to be clear, if it's a NO it's a NO, if it's a YES and it's a YES. There are No maybe's - No if's. If I don't get a clear answer to what I have analyzed I tend to assume, I give answers to my own questions, I tend to miss out the "read between the lines." Maybe because I am a frank person, who says loud and clear of what's on my mind and what I actually feel. Too sad not everyone can speak their mind and heart. So, Assuming too much can sometimes get me in trouble. And because I over analyze and assume, this leads to, most of the time Anticipate of what's going to happen next and in most cases, things happens not what I expected it to be. Which leads to disappointment.
Now I am in the process of weighing and seeing things in different perspectives and accepting that whatever happens, it has always a purpose and it is God's plan. We only get an exact answer in Math, of course when we solve it correctly! ^_^ Most importantly, everything too much can be harmful.
I am a girl on fire, will keep both feet on the ground, with heads up high because I have a Great God who is greater than my obstacles in life and who has great plans for me.
This
is the time of the year where people are busy decorating their homes, offices,
and even the town or city with all those bright lights and different Christmas
ornaments which make you feel the spirit of Christmas. Christmas songs are now being played in radio
stations, people are starting to make their list and even start shopping for
the gifts for their families, friends and colleagues.
But
what is Christmas? What are these Christmas decors means to you?
We
should be reminded that ….
Christmas
is a compound word, “Christ’s Mass.” It is commemorating the birth of our Lord
Jesus Christ. The Fir Tree or the
Christmas Tree with its green color reminds us that there is everlasting hope for
mankind. The Christmas Star represents the fulfillment of God’s promise to us,
He has sent us our Savior Jesus Christ. The Christmas Wreath which is round
represents REAL love, Love which is continuous and unconditional that we should
offer to mankind. The Christmas Candle represents
that Christ is the light of the world, He guides us and lightens our dark paths
in life. Santa Claus symbolizes generosity, especially during the Christmas
month! The Angel reminds us how they sang GLORY TO GOD in the Highest, peace
and good will to His people on earth.
Christmas
is not just receiving and giving material gifts, we should rejoice that our
Savior Jesus Christ was born to save us. We should always remember that the
best gift we can give is Love and Prayers and let us always be thankful with
the Blessings that we receive every day.

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"
I know that the
bridges that I've burned
Along the way
Have left me with these walls and these scars
That won't go away
And opening up has always been the hardest thing
Until you came
[Chorus:]
So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
This feelin' I'm feelin' is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you
I love when you tell me that I'm pretty
When I just wake up
And I love how you tease me when I'm moody
But it's never too much
and I'm falling fast but the truth is I'm not scared at all
You're climbin' my walls
[Chorus]
Off you
Off you
So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
Oh, this feelin I'm feelin is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you
