PlayingForChange: Songs Around the World Stand By Me
I was watching videos at www.pinoychannel.tv when I found this interesting video. Since there is no embed option on pinoychannel, I embedded the same video from YouTube instead. 
If ever..
[ad#ad-google-ws-textimage-01]
It all came so easy, all the loving you gave me
The feelings we shared, and I still can remember
How your touch was so tender, it told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn’t see, until it was gone
A second once in a lifetime, may be too much to ask
But I swear from now on
Chorus:
If ever you’re in my arms again
This time I’ll love you much better
If ever you’re in my arms again
This time I’ll hold you forever
This time will never end
Now I’m seeing clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There’s something between us
That won’t ever leave us
There’s no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn’t know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a lifetime
Isn’t too much to ask
‘Cause I swear from the heart
(Chorus)
The best of romances,
deserve second chances
I’ll get to you somehow
‘Cause I promise now
~If Ever You’re in My Arms Again~
Peabo Bryson
Happy Anniversary!

It seems like only yesterday when we left our beloved alma mater. But today, March 23rd, already marks the 8th anniversary of our High School graduation. Some of us already have a family of our own, many are still single.. blah blah blah (to be continued…)
To all my barkada’s out there, this one’s for you:
(note: the ‘barkada’ on this video is not ours. whaha!)
Nagsimula ang lahat sa eskwela
Nagsama-samang labing-dal’wa
Sa kalokohan at sa tuksuhan
Hindi maawat sa isa’t-isa
Madalas ang stambay sa cafeteria
Isang barkada na kay saya
Laging may hawak-hawak na gitara
Konting udyok lamang kakanta na
Kay simple lamang ng buhay non
Walang mabibigat na suliranin
Problema lamang laging kulang ang datung
Saan na napunta ang panahon?
Saan na nga ba, saan na nga ba?
Saan na napunta ang panahon
Saan na nga ba, saan na nga ba
Saan na napunta ang panahon?
Sa unang ligaw kayo’y magkasama
Magkasabwat sa pambobola
Walang sikreto kayong tinatago
O kay sarap ng samahang barkada
Nagkawatakan na sa kolehiyo
Kanya-kanya na ang lakaran
Kahit minsanan na lang kung magkita
Pagkakaibiga’y hindi nawala
At kung saan na napadpad ang ilan
Sa dating eskwela meron ding naiwan
Meron pa ngang mga ilang nawala na lang
Nakaka-miss ang dating samahan
Saan na nga ba, san na nga ba
Saan na nga ba’ng barkada ngayon?
Saan na nga ba, saan na nga ba
Saan na nga ba’ng barkada ngayon?
Ilang taon din ang nakalipas
Bawat isa sa amin, tatay na
Nagsusumikap upang yumaman
At guminhawang kinabukasan
Paminsan-minsan kami’y nagkikita
Mga naiwan at natira
At gaya nung araw namin sa eskwela
Pag magkasama ay nagwawala
Napakahirap malimutan
Ang saya ng aming samahan
Kahit lumipas na ang ilang taon
Magkakabarkada pa rin ngayon
Magkaibigan, magkaibigan
Magkaibigan pa rin ngayon
Magkaibigan, magkaibigan
Magkabarkada pa rin ngayon
Araw-gabi..
[ad#ad-google-ws-textimage-01]
This song was originally sung by Rodel Naval but was revived recently by Bugoy Drilon.
Araw – gabi
Bakit naaalala ka’t
Diko malimot – limot ang
Sa atin ay nagdaan
Kung nagtatampo ka
At kailangan bang ganyan
Dingging ang dahilan
At ako ay pag – bigyan
Kailangan ko
Ang tunay na pag – ibig mo
Dahil tanging ikaw lang ang
Pintig ng puso ko
Hahayaan mo ba
Na maging ganoon na lang
Ang isa’t – isay
Mayro’ng pagdaramdam
Bakit di pagbigyang muli
Ang ating pagmamahalan
Kung mawawala ay
Di bat sayang naman
Lumipas natin tila
Ba kailan lang
At kung nagkamali sayo
Patawad ang pagsamo ko
Tayo na’t ulitin
Ang pag – ibig natin
Muli ikaw lang at ako
~Muli~

Forgiveness..
“You can’t undo anything you’ve already done, but you can face up to it. You can tell the truth. You can seek forgiveness. And then let God do the rest..”
Whatever I said, Whatever I did.. I didn’t mean it
I guess now it’s time for me to give up
I feel it’s time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got you’re lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn’t mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I’m wrong just tell me the song and I’ll sing it
You’ll be right and understood
Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn’t good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can’t you find a little room inside for me
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn’t mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I’m wrong just tell me the song and I’ll sing it
You’ll be right and understood
And we’ll be together, this time is forever
We’ll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn’t mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I’m wrong just tell me the song and I’ll sing it
You’ll be right and understood
Back for Good
Take That
I was wrong…
[ad#ad-google-ws-textimage-01]
I was wrong when i hurt you
But did you have to hurt me too
Did you think revenge will make it better?
I don’t care about the past
I just want our love to last
There’s a way to bring us back together
I must forgive you
You must forgive me too
If we wanna try to put things back
The way they used to be
’cause there’s no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let’s not bring the past up anymore
Out of all the good we had
You only keep track of the bad
Though you knew i never really loved her
Didn’t anyone tell you yet
That to forgive is to forget
How can you be mad if you don’t remember
I must forgive you
And you must forgive me too
It’s the only thing that’s left
That we haven’t try to do
One thing that i’m sure will work
That we haven’t tried before
Let’s not bring the past back anymore
The Past

I shot an arrow…
[ad#ad-google-ws-textimage-01]
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroken;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Last day of 2008
Today is the last day of the Year 2008.
The donkey in a well
[ad#ad-google-ws-textimage-01]
I got this one from a Friend’s post in Friendster:
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well.The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred – Learn to Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries – Most never happens, but try.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.
