IT'S SO COLD!

If the cold weather is any indication of a change in climate, Autumn is definitely here. For the past days, the temperature has changed dramatically. One day we were all in our skirts and shorts and flipflops and then suddenly, we had to bring out our long-sleeved shirts, thick blouses and pants because all our previous clothing was not enough to keep us warm. Today we went to church and I wore leggings in my pants and aside from my long-sleeved blouse, I had a light jacket with me. Of course, it was not enough. I wanted to bring my thick jacket instead but before we left home, Ruther said that my jacket was for winter. And I hesitated to bring it because I didn't want to look like a fool and wear a winter jacket when everyone was not similarly dressed. I should have remembered that this is Japan. No one cares what you wear here. And I should have brought my jacket. Well at least now I know better...

.....

There's something wrong with our stove. The other day, I tried turning it on and the whole apartment lost electricity. This happened before and since we have 2 burners (well, they look like hot plates actually) I use the other burner and after a few days, the other burner is okay again. But the other day, both burners weren't working. And no matter how many times I tried to fix the problem the fuse just kept turning off whenever I turned on the stove (Ruther says that's a safety feature). Finally, I just stopped trying all together and just fixed myself a sandwich. Ruther said he'll have the stove checked but that will most probably happen on Tuesday. For the meantime, we'll have to cook our food some other way. Knowing me, I'm sure we'll be able to manage.

.....

Been listening to Christmas songs the past few days. I know for some people it's still pretty early for Christmas carols but not in the Philippines. And I so love Christmas carols and Christmas songs. I've been listening to Ryan Cayabyab's Christmas album and it always, always gives me a happy feeling whenever I hear the lyrics and melodies I've heard all my life. I just love Christmas.

Here's some of the songs in the Pasko 1 album (Pasko is Christmas in Filipino:

THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW

from the movie Enchanted
Amy Adams

Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

Man:
How does she know that you love her?

Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?

Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...

That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love...

Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...

WE BELONG TOGETHER

This is for my sweetie...

We Belong Together
Mariah Carey

I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothing I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself

I could not fathom that I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself
'Cause I didn't know you, 'cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips 'cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side
Right here, 'cause baby
(We belong together)

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon' lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone 'till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night when you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio saying to me:
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute this is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station so I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break and then I hear Babyface
I only think of you and it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together but I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song it ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life, baby
(We belong together)

GOODBYE DAYS

This song is for my sweetie, who said goodbye to me this morning... I love you, baby.

GOODBYE DAYS

by YUI

Dakara ima ai ni yuku

Translation:

So I'm going to go see you right now, that's what I've decided

I want to have you listen to this song, that I have in my pocket

Quietly, I turned up the volume, to make sure that it was there

Oh good-bye days, right now I've got the feeling that things are going to change;

so long to everything up until yesterday

An uncool kindness is at my side~With you

I pass one ear phone over to you

And this moment slowly streams over to you

Can you really love me?

Even though I sometimes lose my way

Oh good-bye days, right now things inside my heart have begun to change, alright

An uncool kindness is at my side~With you

If possible, I'd like to not have sad feelings

But they'll come to me, won't they?

In those times, it would be good, if only I could say

"Yeah, hello! My friend", with a smile

When we both are humming the same song, I wish for you to be by my side

I'm glad that we were able to meet each other, with such an uncool kindness...

Good-bye days

THE SCIENTIST

Love this song...

The Scientist
Coldplay

Come up to meet you,
Tell you I’m sorry,
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh, let’s go back to the start
Runnin’ in circles,
Comet and tails,
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessin’,
At numbers and figures,
Pullin’ the puzzles apart
Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh when I rush to the start
Runnin’ in circles,
Chasin’ our tails,
Comin’ back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m goin’ back to the start

4 IN THE MORNING

Gwen Stefani


Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
& all I know is
You've got to give me everything
Nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

Chorus:
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't want to lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?
& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

(Chorus)

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your love up for me
We can't escape the love
Give me everything that you have
& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

ALL I ASK OF YOU (PHANTOM OF THE OPERA)

I love the movie and I love this song...

by Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson

Raoul:

No more talk of darkness,

Forget these wide-eyed fears.

I'm here, nothing can harm you -

my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,

let daylight dry your tears.

I'm here, with you, beside you,

to guard you and to guide you . . .

Christine:

Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;

turn my head with talk of summertime.

Say you need me with you now and always;

promise me that all you say is true,

that's all I ask of you.

Raoul:

Let me be your shelter,

let me be your light;

you're safe, no one will find you,

your fears are far behind you.

Christine:

All I want is freedom,

a world with no more night;

and you, always beside me,

to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul:

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;

let me lead you from you solitude.

Say you need me with you, here beside you,

anywhere you go, let me go too,

Christine, that's all I ask of you.

Christine:

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.

Say the word and I will follow you.

Together:

Share each day with me,

each night, each morning.

Christine:

Say you love me...

Raoul:

You know I do.

Together:

Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me...

that's all I ask of you.

ALL I HAVE

Jennifer Lopez
featuring LL Cool J


Love is life and life is livin
'It's very special
All my love...

Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
(Baby, don't go)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah
(Baby, don't go, uh)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah
(Baby, don't go)
(Baby, don't go) Yeah, yeah
(Why you act like that)

It's such a shame, but I'm leavin'
Can't take the way you mistreated me
And it's crazy, but oh, baby
It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me

I don't believe you wanna leave like this
I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
Wait a minute, don't bounce, baby, let's talk about this, man

Well, I'm bouncin' and I'm out, son

I gotta leave you alone

'Cause I'm good, holdin' my spot

And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block

And I'm good, I got this thing on lock

So without me you'll be fine, right

All my pride is all I have(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)

You'll be needin' me, but too bad(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)

You had to your choice to run alone(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

The nights I waited up for you (Oh, boy)

Promises you made about comin' through

So much time you wasted

That's why I had to replace you

Uh, uh, uh

It makes a cat nervous,

the thought of settlin' down

Especially me, I was creepin' all over town

I thought my tender touch could lock you down

I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds

That's the way you used to giggle right before I put it down

It's better when you angry, come here, I'll prove it now, come here

Stop playin, you gamin'

I gotta leave you alone

'Cause I'm good holdin' my spot (Stop actin' like that)

And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block (Now youknow you need to stop)

And I'm good, I got this thing on lock

So without me you'll be fine, right (Here we go)

All my pride is all I have(Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have)

You'll be needin' me, but too bad(Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad)

You had to your choice to run alone(I know you're independent, you can make it on your own)Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah(But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh)

People make mistakes to make up, to break

To wake up cold and lonely, chill, baby, you know me

You love me, I'm like your homey

Instead of beef you come hold me

I promise I'm not a phony

Don't bounce, baby, console me, come here

Ain't nothin' you can say to me that can change my mind

I gotta let you go now

And nothin' will ever be the same, so just be on your way

Go 'head and do your thing now

And there's no more to explain to me, you no

I know your game and I'm feelin' what you do

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

The boys and I went to the mall today and as predicted, we heard Christmas carols over the PA system. It was wonderful. I love Christmas carols and it really gave me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that in a few months, it's going to be Christmastime! Ooooh! Exciting! We, of course, heard the undying Christmas In Our Hearts and I, of course, had to sing along. Who cares? It's gonna be Christmas! =D

.....

I'm planning to start my Christmas list this month. I don't want to be caught in the Christmas rush (I know, you're thinking, "WHAT Christmas rush?!") and I want to get everyone nice presents. So that means, I have to start looking as early as now. Hmmm... Problem is, where do I hide them all until December? =D

.....

Since I'm having the Last Song Syndrome, here's the song that's been in my head since this morning.

Christmas In Our Heart lyrics
Artist - Jose Mari Chan

Whenever I see girls and boys

Selling lanterns in the streets

I remember the Child

In the manger as He sleeps

Whenever there are people

Giving gifts exchanging cards

I believe that Christmas

Is truly in their hearts

Let's light our christmas trees

For a bright tomorrow

Where nations are at peace

And all are one in God.

CHORUS:

Let's sing 'Merry Christmas

And a happy holiday'

This season, may we never forget

The love we have for Jesus

Let Him be the One to guide us

As another new year starts

And may the spirit of Christmas

Be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song

The community unites

Celebrating the birth

Of our Saviour Jesus Christ

Let love, like that starlight

On that first Christmas morn

Lead us back to the manger

Where Christ the Child was born

So come let us rejoice

Come and sing the Christmas carol

With one big joyful voice

Proclaim the name of the Lord.

(CHORUS)

ONE NIGHT

Love the guitar, love the melody, love this song.

ONE NIGHT

The Corrs

Long day and I'm ready,

I'm waiting for your call,

Coz I've made up my mind.

My heart aches with a hunger,

And a want that you were mine,

No, I can not deny.

So for one night,

Is it alright,

That I give you....

My Heart, My Love, My Heart,

Just for one night

My Body, My Soul,

Just for one night.

My Love, My Love,

For one night

One Night One Night

When morning awakes me,

Well I know I'll be alone,

So dont you worry about me

I'm not empty on my own,

For inside, I'm alive,

That for one night,

It was so right,

That I gave you....

My Heart, My Love, My Heart

Just for one night

My Body, My Soul

Just for one night

My Love, I Loved

For one night

One Night, One Night

For one night

It was so right

That I gave you

My Heart, My Love, My Heart

Just for one night

My Body, My Soul

Just for one night

My Love, I Loved

For one night

LOVE THIS SONG

NEED TO BE NEXT TO YOU
Leigh Nash

Been running from this feeling for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need it
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I feel inside

But I need to be next to you
Oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you
Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life
Here with you, near with you, oh I
I need to be next to you
Need to be next to you

Right here with you is right where I belong
I lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there's nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for
I can't make it if you're not there
I can't fight what I feel any more

Cause I need to be next to you
Oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you
Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you smile this morning
Look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life
Here with you, near with you, oh I
I need to be next to you

I need to have your arms next to mine for all the time
Holding for all my life
I need to be next to you
I need to be next to you
Oh I, oh I
Need to be, need to be next to you
Share every breath with you
I need to feel you in my arms, baby, in my arms baby
I need to be next to you

UNWRITTEN

Love this song. Not only is it wonderfully written, the melody is very catchy.

UNWRITTEN

Natasha Bedingfield

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined

I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines

We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah

OVER IT

This is one of my current favorite songs. I love the beat, the nice melody. I think Katharine is really pretty in the video. Her make-up looked minimal and very fresh. Oh yes, and I loved her purple dress. =D

OVER IT

Katharine McPhee

I'm over your lies,

and I'm over your games.

I'm over you asking me,

when you know I'm not okay.

You call me at night,

and I pick up the phone.

And though you've been telling me,

I know you're not alone.

oh..

*That's why (your eyes)

I'm over it (your smile)

I'm over it (realize)

I'm over it

I'm over it

I'm over...

Wanting you, to be wanting me.

No that ain't no way to be.

How I feel, read my lips,

because I'm so over...

Moving on, it's my time,

you never were a friend of mine.

Hurt at first, a little bit,

but now I'm so over.

I'm so over it...

I'm over your hands,

and I'm over your mouth.

Trying to drag me down,

and fill me with self-doubt.

oh... *

Don't call, don't come by,

ain't no use, don't ask me why,

you'll never change,

there'll be no more crying in the rain.

Wanting you, to be wanting me.

No that ain't no way to be.

How I feel, read my lips,

because I'm so over...

Moving on, it's my time,

you never were a friend of mine.

Hurt at first, a little bit,

but now I'm so over.

I'm so over it...

I'm so over it...

I'm over it...

I'm so over, I'm so over it.

HOME IS CALLING

HOME
by Angela Aki

Sensai na ito de soboku na
Machi ni shibari dukerareteta goro
Miageru tabi ni sora wa utsushita,
Haruka ni tooi sekai wo
Chiisana basho wo ato ni shitekara

Home is calling

Furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo

Tokai no sora ni yume wo takushite
Kokoro wo gisei ni shiteru
Yashin to ai no chouwa ga torezu

Kazara nakatta seijitsu na hibi
Kono goro naze ka koishiku omou
Home is calling

Furusato taezu ni aishitekureta

Mou ichido mite mitai,

Kako to ima no aida no tobari wo
Sotto hiraite miru to
Sora no wareme kara koboreru hikari ga
Meguru jidai wo sashite ita
Home is calling

Furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo

Home is always calling out my name

Sabishi sa ga shimi tsuita

Translation:

A delicate thread ties me to
that simple village from back then
Every time I look up to the sky,
I see a shimmer of that far away world
After I leave this place, how long will it be until I pass it again?
Home is calling

Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
On dreamless nights
when I feel blue and lonelyI call out for you

People sacrifice their hearts
entrusting the city’s sky with their dreams
Everyone wanders around
unable to get peace from love or ambition
Why did take me so long to realize that I
loved those innocent pure days from back then
Home is calling

The faces of the people back home
constantly gave me the love I needed
Oh I’d love to see them once more,
Giving in to my homesickness
I call out for you

As I quietly open the curtain
seperating the past and present
a light shines throught a rift in the clouds
illuminating the passing time
Home is calling

Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
I entrust my body to hope,
letting nothing stand in my way
On dreamless nights
when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you
Home is always calling out my name

On dreamless nights
when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you
Home is calling out my name

WAY BACK INTO LOVE

This is my current favorite song. I love the lyrics, the accompaniment, the singing... There are some words that apply to what I have been feeling these past few weeks...



WAY BACK INTO LOVE

Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant



I've been living with a shadow overhead

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

I've been lonely for so long

Trapped in the past,

I just can't seem to move on


I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

Just in case I ever need em again someday

I've been setting aside time

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

Oh oh oh


I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs

I know that it's out there

There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light

Not somebody just to get me through the night

I could use some direction

And I'm open to your suggestions


All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love



And if I open my heart again

I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real

Or if anybody feels the way I feel I need inspiration

Not just another negotiation


All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you

I'm hoping you'll show me what to do

And if you help me to start again

You know that I'll be there for you in the end

A SONG FOR ME

This song somehow just affects me (more at this time than any other time...)

When She Cries Lyrics
Artist (Band): Restless Heart

The road I have traveled on
Is paved with good intentions
It's littered with broken dreams
That never quite came true

When all of my hopes were dying
Her love kept me trying
She does her best to hide
The pain that she's been through

(CHORUS)
When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide
All the fear she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves'
Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

She's always been there for me
Whenever I've fallen
When nobody else believes
She'll be there by my side

I don't know how she takes it
Just once I'd like to make it
Then there'll be tears of joy
That fill her loving eyes

(CHORUS)
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves'
Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

"BABY MINE" FROM DUMBO


DUMBO (1941)
One of my favorite Disney classics. Portrays love, friendship, family and acceptance of one's flaws (so who cares if he has big ears?).

The stork delivers a baby elephant to Mrs Jumbo, veteran of the circus, but the newborn is ridiculed because of his truly enormous ears and dubbed "Dumbo". Dumbo is relegated to the circus' clown acts; it is up to his only friend, a mouse, to assist Dumbo to achieve his full potential. (from imdb.com)

BABY MINE
Music: Frank ChurchillLyrics: Ned Washington

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine
