Tell me what kind of man would I be

I read from a newspaper that Chicago will be having a concert here in Manila..On September 14 at the Araneta Coliseum. Recently, I've been playing their songs in MP3 and these were the two songs that I liked most:

Girl, well its been one of those days again,
And it seems like the harder I try,
Over and over, Im right back where I began;
But you understand.
Oh girl, when nothing else in this world goes right,
Oh I just want to run to you.
You pull me through.
Oh baby, who wouldnt want to have you in their life?

Tell me: what kind of man would I be,
Living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me,
But if I had to live without you,
Tell me what kind of man would I be?

Times when it was pointless for me to try;
I was more than a desperate man.
What seemed like forever was gone with one touch of your hand.
Oh, girl, if I could count all the sleepless nights,
When you were there for me.
A fool could see, oh baby,
Once that I found you there was no letting go.

Tell me: what kind of man would I be,
Living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me,
But if I had to live without you,
Tell me what kind of man would I be?

Here's another one, entitled: Hard Habit to Break
Hard Habit To Break


Source: cetera06
Songwriters: Kipner, S; Parker, J;


I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to

Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to

Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe
You're a hard habit to break

I can't go on, just get, go on
I can't go on, just get, go on

Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to

Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take

I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break

I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break
I'm addicted to you baby

Persistent Rain by Aiza Seguerra

How can I move on? Make my life go on
And forget the mem’ries that we once had
I’ve tried to hide my tears and learn to face my fears
Accept the truth you’re no longer here with me

Chorus

I’ve walked a thousand miles to leave the pain
And pass the test of time, but again, the pain remain
Persistently again and again
Just liek the pouring rain
Oh… ho again and again
Persistent rain keeps coming back again

If I can turn back the hands of time
I’ll do my best and hold your tight
Every moment spent, I’ll cherish ’till the end
‘Coz you’re the only warmth that comforts me

Repeat Chrorus

And if our paths should cross again
Maybe then I’ll be a friend
But ddep inside I’d cry
Pretending I’m alright
Co’z I’m moving on
But still I’m holding on …

Repeat Chorus 2x
How can I move on? Make my life go on
And forget the mem’ries that we once had
I’ve tried to hide my tears and learn to face my fears
Accept the truth you’re no longer here with me

Chorus

I’ve walked a thouisand miles to leave the pain
And pass the test of time, but again, the pain remain
Persistently again and again
Just liek the pouring rain
Oh… ho again and again
Persistent rain keeps coming back again

If I can turn back the hands of time
I’ll do my best and hold your tight
Every moment spent, I’ll cherish ’till the end
‘Coz you’re the only warmth that comforts me

Repeat Chrorus

And if our paths should cross again
Maybe then I’ll be a friend
But ddep inside I’d cry
Pretending I’m alright
Co’z I’m moving on
But still I’m holding on …

Repeat Chorus 2x

Nice Song: Cory Aquino (I have fallen in Love with the same woman three times) written by Ninoy Aquino

For me, one of the sweetest thing a man can do to a woman was when he can offer a beautiful poem or song which comes from his heart. And this was what Ninoy Aquino did to the late Mrs. Cory Aquino. I really had a great admiration for those who have great talent in creating poems/songs.

When I heard this song first time when it was played in national TV on the day of our beloved Ms. Cory Aquino's burial, it really caught my attention and wanted to get its lyrics. I also found out that this song was actually arranged and sung by Jose Mari Chan and was included in his earlier albums. (Youtube videos from iadorenewscasters and romycoronado)



(Lyrics)
I have fallen in love
With the same woman three times
In a day spanning nineteen years
Of tearful joys and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young
Enchanting and vibrant, eternally new
She was brilliant, fragrant and cool
As the morning dew.

I fell in love with her the second time
When first she bore her child and mine
Always by my side, the source of my strength
Helping to turn the tide.

But there were candles to burn
The world was my concern
While our home was her domain
And the people were mine
While the children were hers to maintain.

So it was in those eighteen years and a day
Till I was detained
Forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly shes our sole support
Source of comfort
Our wellspring of hope
On her shoulders fell the burden of life.

I fell in love again
With the same woman the third time
Looming from the battle
Her courage will never fade.

Amidst the hardships she has remained
Undaunted and unafraid
She is calm, composed
She is Gods lovely maid.

Here's another version of this song, sung by Christian Bautista with background pictures of the couple.



I should say both of the versions were fantastic! I love this song! :)

6. I always forgot special dates of my relatives and friends. I always relying on Birthday Reminders. Thanks to Yahoo Mail Reminders and Friendster updates.. :)

9. I think others may call me a snob. Sorry, if they misunderstand me, I'm just sleepy or thinking something. Just like a machine, sometimes, I need to recharge :)


10. When I'm tired, I like to have a long, long sleep. No background music please! I cannot sleep with music.

Another Nice Song: I'LL NEVER CRY by Alice Cooper

If there is a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bone
It shakes me, Babe
It's just a heartache that got in my eyeA
nd you know I never cry, I never cry
Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the TV's dead and goneI may be lonely
But I'm never aloneAnd the night may pass me by
But I'll never cryTake away, take away my eyes
Sometimes I'd rather be blind
Break a heart, break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone
'Cuz that's all I got to give you
Believe me Babe, it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin, its never been tried
And you know I'll never cry
And you know I'll never cry
And you know I'll never cry
Never cry, I'll never cry
Break a heart, break a heart of stone
'Cuz that's all I got to give you
Believe me Babe, it ain't been used



Who would thought that Alice name is actually a rocker's name? Well, it's just tonight that I realize that Alice Cooper was a rock star and singer of this nice song.. :)

Aquarius Horoscope Today 20090816

You have a knack for putting intangibles into words. This will come in handy when some 'hard to put your finger on' tensions are building at work. Who'll step in to save the day by telling the boss that nobody's happy about the change in the office break room from caffeinated coffee to decaf? You will. Who will suggest that maybe you're all due for overtime payments? You will. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
==>Today is a long day. It's my sister's birthday and we celebrated her special day with the whole family including aunts.. :)

Horoscope for today 20090815

You are far too unique to look like, act like, dress like or behave like anyone else today -- so skip the mob mentality and be proud of your perspective. Take your own path today and don't look back. If you thought you needed other people to reach your goal, then think again. Like it or not, no one can see your vision with as much passion as you do, so stop wasting your energy trying to convince them that what you want is the right thing. Just go for it.

25 Random Things About Me (1 of 5)

This morning, I watched the ending part of Wrong Turn the movie, (again, i discovered this suspense movie while I'm riding in the bus from Pasig to Batangas). As I am very eager to know the ending, I ended up watching it in Youtube...



I like this movie. Same as House of Wax. Really breathtaking movies.. :)

After that, I decided to post a note in facebook entitled, "25 Random Things about Me". This was the same Note posted in my facebook account today and I added some pictures. The following were my answers from 1 up to 5 items:

1. I am one of those who participated the Edsa Dos Rally.. So, dun ko nadiscover, may pagka-aktibista rin pala ako. Daming tao dun grabe, hindi ko alam bat ako nagkalakas ng loob sumabak dun na hindi man lang alam ni isang kasama naming sa bahay. Nalaman na lang nila nung nakauwi na ako the day after hehe..Alam ko naman kasi na papayagan ako..



2. I love Rice.. Feeling ko lahat puede ko iulam. Kahit Spaghetti.


3. Bad trip yung nakuhanan ka ng dugo sa braso for ESR medical examination, FOUR times in consecutive days dahil sa maling findings. Emote talaga ako, ang sakit kaya nun..tig 2 kuha ng dugo sa magkabilang braso..





4. I don't know how to bluff.. Halata sa akin pag nagsisinungaling at yung merong gagawing kalokohan. Haha, nao-obvious sa mata ko.



5. Hindi ako matatakutin.. Okay lang sa akin ang horror movies, at okay lang na mag isa ako sa bahay, kaya ko naman. Tutulugan ko na lang ang mga momo. Pero, magugulatin lang ako..Minsan kahit alam kong me manggugulat sa akin, magugulat pa rin ako..Gusto ko yung suspense movies lately..hehe..

Horoscope: Aquarius 20080809

You're a big fan of blunt honesty and the naked truth. If you think it, you're likely to say it without censoring it for the audience. Luckily, you run with a crowd that has a sense of the absurd. Keep in mind that not everyone in the world appreciates your finely tuned sense of humor. If you were to refine this approach, imagine how many more people you could reach. Stand-up comedy or a career in acting might not be too far of a stretch for you.

-->I will be attending my Newest "inaanak" Bday Party at 3pm. Does my horoscope means that I should behave? hehe.. :) Whew! the number of my Inaanak is increasing! I think Nicole is the 21st? Nicole is the first daughter of my close friend Elvie who went home for a month to celebrate this special day of her child.

Movie: Bridal Wars

I missed this movie at the big screen but I was able to watch it in Dvd. I like this movie because you might never know what will happen to their friendship after all the competitions and wars that they had. By the way I got this movie clip from pinkprincess1003 of youtube.

Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are bestfriends for life since childhood. They both have an ultimade bridal venue which is the Plaza Hotel. Due to some clerical error of that prestigious hotel, both of them were reserved on the same day. From that day on, the battle between the two brides started.

Starring:Candice Bergen, Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Bryan Greenberg, Kristen Johnston, Chris Pratt, Casey Wilson, June Diane Raphael

Movie: Sand Serpents

I watched this war movie twice.. in a week. Not because it's my favorite but it's a coincidence that while I am riding the bus last Monday, from hometown to office dormitory, this movie played in the dvd at the bus. I did not finished this movie but instead I chose to get a good sleep while travelling. I think this is one of the perks of long travel: you can fall asleep, watch movies, listen songs, use mp3 player...

But last night, while I was riding in the bus to go home, this was the same movie that was being played...Sand Serpents.. Since I did not finished this movie last time, I became eager to know it's ending part. This was the last scene of the movie.

Among the squad are Lieutenant Stanley (Jason Gedrick, "Desperate Housewives"), Sergeant Wilson (Chris Jarman, "Spartacus"), Privates Kaminski (Sebastian Knapp, "28 Days Later") and Captain Jen Henle (Tamara Hope, "ReGenesis).
