EAT PRAY LOVE

Few weeks ago, I watched the first-night showing of this

wonderful movie, EAT PRAY LOVE... Oh God, I find myself so inlove with this

movie including its soundtracks...

I couldn't help but think a lot about it many times. I even looked

for the "Thums Up" Cola on the internet if it truly exist in India's

beverages and yes it is! Then I always remember KetutLiyer saying"See

you later, alligator." I really thought that line is only used here in the

Philippines. I was really amazed when Ketut used it! Hahaha... And one

more thing, I searched about the medicine man, Ketut. It is really true

that he exists in Bali, Indonesia as a medicine man. I wanna go meet him

if I would be visiting Bali in no time. I watched the movie twice

on big screen and will probably be watching it again when it's already on DVD

or when already available at my other sources.

Until now, I'm obsessed even with the soundtrack especially the "Attraversiamo"

by Dario Marianelli. And I even tried to learn few Italian words.

The movie has a huge impact to me. I EAT, PRAY, and LOVE too... in my own

ways though. ;)

The Power of Music

do you believe in the power of music?
how much do you love music?

music to me is a medicine.
a medicine to every soul.
when somebody's happy, he sings.
when somebody's sad, he listens to music.

music has been my companion for like years already.
it helps me express my feelings.
my type of music depends on my mood.
i can go along with all types though.
mostly, i relate my life to it.
i might not be able to memorize each line,
but i appreciate music with good lyrics.

i always start and end my day with music.
on my way to work and on my way home.
or when i go anywhere alone.
when in a long trip or even at home.

when i want to praise God's goodness,
i listen to gospel songs and sing along.
when i'm asleep, i put my earphone on.
i can always relate my life to music.

i am a music lover.
music fills my soul.
i believe in the power of music.

i was happy until i found love

i speak in behalf of someone i know...

i know a lot will react on this...
but i am just a soul who feels the other way...
it's how i feel and this is my way of relief...
you might say i don't have the right to discuss love...
or you might ask what do i know about love?

in the dictionary,
love is strong positive emotion of regard and affection...
but for me love = pain...
God have loved...
isn't it painful to let your His Son suffer because He loved us?
where is that positive emotion then?
or maybe love should really be matched with pain...

years ago-
i was happy...
i was contented...
i got along with people easily...
i always smile...
i had a light heart...
i was free...
when i fell in love-
it was a disaster...
i felt pain before i have realized it was love...
funny isn't it?
it was expressed but it wasn't meant to be...
and i have realized letting go isn't that easy...
the bitterness and pain stayed for a while...
until after more than a year...

i have totally recovered...
i have realized love isn't just from someone...
then i started recognizing the love of friends and family...
i went back to enjoying life...
how nice it is to live freely?
no asking permission from someone...
no one tells you what to do...
nobody's waiting...
no worries....
i have done everything i wanted to do...

until i found love the the second time...
i started appreciating it...
i started to like the feeling of loving...
when it suddenly broke me apart...
it was a sudden...
now, it leaves me wounds...

then i told myself...
I WAS HAPPY UNTIL I FOUND LOVE...

is love really like that?
or like what a friend is saying,
i was just looking at the other side of the coin?

--------------------------
to those who love, keep loving...
to those who have love and lost it,
let go and move on...
maybe it's not yet at the right timing...
life doesn't end when love ends... :)
cheerup!

OST: The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian

I watched the Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian a week ago. Yah, it was a good movie. I find it better than the 1st one.

And movies like these are inviting to me since there's something I could get from them. Just like this movie, I have caught a quote that was said by Aslan, "Things can never happen the same way twice," which, in fact is true. It says that whenever we have the chance to do something in every point of our lives, we should do it right away while the chance is still there. Right?

There's a song in this movie that I like. It's played at the end part where the 2 Kings & the 2 Queens of Narnia are about to go back to their real world, specifically, England. What I am talking about is the song performed by Regina Spektor entitled, The Call.

It's a good song actually. Here it is.



Plus the lyrics :

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

CHEERS, READERS! :)

Bye Bye

A friend of mine shared her MP3s to me at Fagioli last night. We went out because she'll be having a very long vacation starting tomorrow. Among the songs she saved in my thumb drive was this song and I liked it.

It's for everyone who has lost their loved ones.... I will also be providing the lyrics so that you could fully understand the whole song itself.

Here's the song:



And here's the lyrics so that you can sing along while playing the music.

Bye Bye

(Mariah Carey)

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high.
We will never say bye. No, no, no

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins.
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers.
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
there's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

Never knew I could hurt like this
and everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give em the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

You never got a chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give em the world to see your face
and be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.

I never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
And everyday life goes on I wish (Everyday of my life I wish)
I could talk to you for a while (I wish)
Miss you but I try not to cry (I wish I wish as time goes by)
As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give em the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

[Repeat in background]
[Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye]

It's hard to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
So come on somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high
Ay 'Cause this is for my peoples who just lost somebody
So this is for everybody
Just lift your hands to the sky
'Cause we will never say bye bye

Here I Am Again

A friend of mine shared this song to me and I kind of like it too. And I want to share this song to you, my friends. Please check the lyrics below :)





Here I am again
Trying to take my chance
I'm looking for your touch
Longing for your warm embrace
Oh how I miss you baby

Here I am again
Trying to say the words
I failed to say before
I wish I've said it all to you
Oh how I miss you baby

Here I am again
Trying to say the words
I failed to say before
I wish I've said it all to you
Oh how I love you baby

REFRAIN:
You're the only one
Who can make my life complete
Oh baby your love is all I need
You're the only one
Who can bring a smile to me
The only one that I wanna be with

Here I am again
Waitin' for the time
When you will say the words
That made us to become one
Oh how, I long for your love

(Instrumental)

You're the only one
Who can bring a smile to me
The only one that I wanna be with

Here I am again
Trying to say the words
I failed to say before
Oh how I love you so
