One Step at a Time

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:01:29 GMT

"One Step At A Time"
By Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus x2]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One step at a time.
One Sunday done, Two exams over.
Three Sundays left, Six exams to go.
We can do this.
150% at 150 Years.
One step at a time.

Will You Wait For Me?
by Kavana

I need to talk with you again,
why did you go away,
All our time together, just feels like yesterday,
I never thought I'd see,
a single day without you,
You see the things we take for grantedwe can sometimes lose.
And if I promise not to fell this pain,
Will I see you again,
will I see you again.
Time will pass me by, may be I'll never learn to smile,
But i know I will make it through,
if you wait for me.
And all the tears I cry,
no matter how I try.
They will never bring you home to me,
so won't you wait for me in heaven.
Do you remember how it was,
when we never seemed to care.
Days went by so quickly,
cos I thought you'd always be there.
It's hard to let you go,
though I know that I must try.
I feel like I've been cheated,
cos we never said goodbye.
And if I promise not to feel this pain,
Will I see you again.
And I miss you so,
and I need to know,
Will you wait for me.

Prayer to The Holy Spirit

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:26:38 GMT

Prayer to The Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit,

You who make me see everything and showed me
the way to reach my ideals,

You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that was done to me

and You who are in all instances of my life with me,

I want to thank You for everything and confirm once more
that I never want to be separated from You no matter how
great the material desire may be.

I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory.

Amen

In Jesus Christ, your Son's name, I ask that you grant me
(State your specific request here!)

While making the request, you must promise either:

(a) To publish this prayer or
(b) To circulate the favor

This prayer should be said for 3 consecutive days.

After the 3rd day, the request will be granted, no matter how difficult it may be.

Caveat: Be careful what you wish for; it just might come true!

Thank you Holy Spirit.

Funny Horoscope for Tomorrow

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:17:14 GMT

Dear Melodie,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Wednesday, August 12:

Pay attention to the fine print right now -- you're particularly vulnerable to legal matters. So if you get in a fender bender or are about to sign a document, cross your Ts and dot your Is. Leave no stone unturned. Witnesses and expert opinions prevail.

Naks. Legal matters. Mag-aral pa daw ako ng husto. Dagdag pa. Tuloy lang. Hahaha. Leave no stone unturned. Dizzizit.

Horoscope for March 24

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:26:40 GMT

Dear Melodie,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Tuesday, March 24:

Don't be lured into some long-distance relationship thing -- it won't work. You're the type of person who needs hands-on, daily attention. Otherwise, you'll lose interest and drift. A pen pal? Sure, but keep it platonic. Anything deeper is a waste of time.

Yun na. Long distance relationships will not work for me. hahaha!

A Theory on Death

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:28:15 GMT

My dad has a theory about death. Life goes full circle.
His theory: people die right about around their birth date.

Whenever we're in the cemetery, he'd try to prove it by pointing out how many gravestones we would see that would kinda prove his point. Check the date od death, then check the date of birth. Of course, the odds of finding people who die near their birthdays vary a lot. And you'd have to give a month or two allowance to say that it's near or around the birthday. So, that gives you the month of your birthday, plus 4 months for the give or take two months from the birthday, and that gives you a total of 5 months allowance to look out for. Now, my sister and I would almost always find one gravestone which indicates that the person died around 6 months before/after the birthday. And when we do, we tease him about it that we've just disproved him. But of course, he'd stick by it nonetheless.

So what brought up that discussion? Well, I just found it amusing. I took this "when will you die?" quiz on Facebook (yes, out of boredom and insomnia), and lo and behold, the results:

I will die on the 9th of December year 2028.

Cool. A day after my birthday, 19 years from now.

Hmm... considering this, if i get married within the next five years, that would give me about 14 years of married life. And if i have children, then i'll be leaving them quite at an early age. Hmm. I remember I always said that I didn't want to grow super old. But dying before I even reach 50? That's just crazy.

But I still find the whole day after my birthday death quite amusing. Hehehe.

The Convention on the Wounded by Love

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:12:37 GMT

The Convention on the Wounded by Love

General Provision: Considering that it's absolutely correct the saying that states that "all is fair in love and war";

Considering that in war we have the Geneva Convention, adopted in August 22nd of 1864, that determines the fate of the wounded in battlefields whereas there is no convention that was promulgated until this day that deals with the wounded of love, who are much more populous;

It is here declared that:

Art. 1 - all lovers, male or female, are now being notified that love, besides being a blessing, is also something very dangerous, unpredictable and able to cause serious damages. Consequently the one who decides to love has to know that his body and soul are exposed to many types of wounds and will not be able to blame the partner in any moment, since the risk is equal to both.

Art. 2 - Once a lost arrow from the bow of Cupid hits a person, that person has to immediately ask the archer to dart another arrow in the opposite direction, so that one will not fall prey to the wound famously known as "non-reciprocal love". In case Cupid refuses such act, the Convention here promulgated demands that the wounded immediately retrieves the arrow from his heart and throw it in the bin.

In order to achieve this effect, the wounded has to avoid phone calls, internet messages, flower deliveries, or any other act of seduction, since these acts only achieve short term results and are inevitably erased by time. The convention declares that the wounded has to quickly seek the company of other people in order to control the obsessive thought "it's still worth to fight for this person".

Art. 3 - In case the wound comes from third parties, meaning, the loved one is interested by someone else who was not expected in the pre-established plans, it is hereby expressly forbidden any act of revenge. In this case, it is permitted the profuse use of tears, some punches on the wall or pillow, talks with friends where the wounded can freely insult the ex-partner, allege his complete lack of good-taste, but refraining to lessen the partner's honor.

The convention determines that art. 2 can also be applied: the wounded may seek the company of other people, preferably in places where the partner does not dwell.

Art. 4 - In case of light wounds, hereby classified as small betrayals, fulminating passions that do not last long, transitory sexual disinterest, one has to quickly and abundantly apply a medicine called Forgiveness. Once this medicine applied, one must never look back and the subject must be completely forgotten, never being mentioned as an argument in eventual fights or moments of hate.

Art. 5 - In the case of definitive wounds, also called "break-ups", the only medicine capable of truly healing one's heart is Time. It's pointless and ineffective to find consolation with fortune-tellers (that will always allege that the lost love will return), romantic books (in which the endings are always happy ones), TV soap operas or other similar things. One has to suffer with intensity, completely avoiding the use of drugs, painkillers, prayers. Alcohol is only allowed in moderation, never surpassing more than two glasses of wine per day.

Final Provision: the wounded of love, contrary to the wounded of armed conflicts, are neither victims nor torturers. They have chosen something that is part of life and therefore they have to face the agony and the ecstasy of their choice.

And for those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: "I lived." Because they haven't.

Think Pink! (from Funny Face)

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 08:12:15 GMT

MAGGIE [calming them down]
Girls, girls, girls, girls...

[Ripping off bits of pink material she has taken from the shelf,
giving them to each secretary]

Listen: take this to all the designers;
I want dresses made up in exactly this shade of pink.

Babs: take this round to Kaiser Delmont,
I want shoes and stockings in exactly this colour.

Laura: everything goes pink! I want the whole issue pink;
I want the whole country pink! [Pauses]

Lettie: take an editorial: [dramatically] "To the women of America..."
—no, make it to the women everywhere:
"banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige! From now on girls..."

MAGGIE.
Think pink! think pink! when you shop for summer clothes.
Think pink! think pink! if you want that quel-que chose.
Red is dead, blue is through,
Green's obscene, brown's taboo.
And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce
—or chartreuse.
Think pink! forget that Dior says black and rust.
Think pink! who cares if the new look has no bust.
Now, I wouldn't presume to tell a woman
what a woman oughtta think,
But tell her if she's gotta think: think pink—!

WOMEN.
—for bags! pink for shoes!
Razzle, dazzle and spread the news!
And pink's for the lady with joie de vive!
Pinks for all the family.
Try pink shampoo.
Pink toothpaste too.
Play in pink, all day in pink,
Pretty gayin pink.
Drive in pink, come alive in pink,
Have a dive in pink.
Go out dancing but just remember one thing:
You can get a little wink
If you got a little pink
In your swing.

MEN [painters, with NYC accents]
Think pink! think pink, it's the latest word, you know.
Think pink! think pink and you're Michelangelo.

WOMEN.
Feels so gay, feels so bright.
Makes you day, makes you night.
Pink is now the colour to which
you gotta switch!

MEN.
(Do what you gotta switch!)

WOMEN.
Every stitch!

MEN.
(Every stitch you switch!)

MAGGIE.
Think pink! think pink on the long, long road ahead.

WOMEN & MEN.
On the road, (& MAGGIE) think pink!

MAGGIE.
...think pink and the world is rosey-red

WOMEN & MEN.
(Everything's rosey.)

MAGGIE.
Everything on the great horizon,
Everything that you can think—
and that includes the kitchen sink,
Think pink!

WOMEN & MEN.
Think pink, think pink
Think pink, think pink
Think pink, think pink!

Horoscope for Feb. 21

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 13:24:44 GMT

Dear Melodie,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Saturday, February 21:

If you feel constrained, it's coming from you. The reality is you're totally unattached. So hang out with whoever floats your boat, stay out all night and sleep all day. As long as you keep your commitments at the office, you're free to run wild!

-It's funny, because I actually stayed out late last night (went home at 3) after the concert, and then I literally slept the whole day (i woke up at 6, although i was in and out of sleep the entire time). My body just needed to lie down for a long time to recuperate from all the late night practices. It was worth it though. One of the best experiences in law school. :D
