...
Even Santa Fell In Love
He brushes back his silver hair
And checks to see if she is standing there
After years of traveling around
With the reindeer hooves above the ground
Never made the missus run away
Remembering the night they met
Figure skating she played hard to get
In his red suit he slid past
Who could resist that charming laugh?
He said he would teach her how to fly
Even Santa fell in love
Everybody needs someone to come home to
After the longest day
Even Santa fell in love
And she's the only one he wants to come back to
When the toys are put away
Even on Christmas Day
She sees his eyes are all aglow
Anticipating children laughing in the snow
And with just his Christmas touch
Under mistletoe before the rush
Mrs. Kringle feels the tingle in her heart
Even Santa fell in love
Everybody needs someone to come home to
After the longest day
Even Santa fell in love
And she's the only one he wants to come back to
When the toys are put away
Even on Christmas Day
Even Santa fell in love
Everybody needs someone to come home to
After the longest day
Even Santa fell in love
And she's the only one he wants to come back to
When the toys are put away
Even on Christmas Day
Even on Christmas Day
He brushes back his silver hair
And checks to see if she is standing there
After years of traveling around
With the reindeer hooves above the ground
Never made the missus run away
Remembering the night they met
Figure skating she played hard to get
In his red suit he slid past
Who could resist that charming laugh?
He said he would teach her how to fly
Even Santa fell in love
Everybody needs someone to come home to
After the longest day
Even Santa fell in love
And she's the only one he wants to come back to
When the toys are put away
Even on Christmas Day
She sees his eyes are all aglow
Anticipating children laughing in the snow
And with just his Christmas touch

After the longest day
Even Santa fell in love
And she's the only one he wants to come back to
When the toys are put away
Even on Christmas Day
Even Santa fell in love
Everybody needs someone to come home to
After the longest day
Even Santa fell in love
And she's the only one he wants to come back to
When the toys are put away
Even on Christmas Day
Even on Christmas Day

Aza, Aza, Fighting!
Warrior is a Child
Gary Valenciano
Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
I'm strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears
Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
Unafraid because His armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
I never face retreat, oh no
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)

Closing My Eyes
"Be good and everything will be okay." I say to myself.
Read on...
I couldn't remember when exactly Sally sent this to me. I keep it in my files so when I feel like reading it, I don't have to search high and low for it. Today is one of those days.
Read on...
Your Greatest Curse Can Turn To Be
Your Greatest Blessing
Michelangelo had a persecutor who was very jealous of him.
(I don’t mean the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but the real Michelangelo.)
The persecutor’s name was Bramante, a famous architect during that time.
By the way, do you know Bramante? I’m positive 99% of you never heard of him. Do you notice how persecutors fade away in the dust, but the one they persecute become legends? An important lesson to remember!
When Pope Julius thought of making a tomb, he asked Michelangelo to do it.
But when Bramante heard of it—and thought of the acclaim that Michelangelo would receive from it—he discouraged the Pope from continuing with the project. True enough, after Michelangelo searched far and wide for the perfect marble for the project—which took 8 long months—he learned that the Pope had abandoned the project. Michelangelo was very disappointed.
One day, the Pope thought of another project.
Upon hearing about it, Bramante concluded that it would be a time-consuming project and would receive very little public acclaim. So he told the Pope to give it to Michelangelo. In his mind, it would keep the artist busy for years—and accomplish nothing of great value.
Besides, it was also a painting job, and Bramante knew that Michelangelo was not even a painter, but a sculptor.
Michelangelo saw the trap. He knew it was a ploy by his enemy to destroy him. At first, he declined. But the Pope insisted, and not wanting to deny his Holiness, he agreed.
The project was indeed time-consuming. It took Michelangelo 4 years to finish, and he almost lost his eyesight because of it…
I’m sure you know the project by now: The Sistine Chapel. The grandest masterpiece of Michelangelo. More than anything, it made him one of the greatest painters of all time.
What was meant to curse him turned out to be his greatest blessing.
Good Friday was supposed to be the greatest curse.
Yet it also turned out to be the greatest blessing.
No Matter What Trials Come,
Keep Doing The Good You’re Supposed To Do
I reflect on this story and look at my own life.
I’ve been serving God for that past 27 years, and I do get my share of little “Bramante’s” scattered here and there.
But without them, I would have missed my greatest blessings: spiritual growth, opportunities to serve, and the impact I have on people’s lives.
My biggest Bramante’s were the two men who molested me as a child.
Because of these indescribable painful experiences, I’ve been able to heal so many people who have the same inner wounds. (You can read more about this in two of my books, Your Past Does Not Define Your Future, and 7 Secrets To Real Freedom.)
I could also think of my other trials in life…
Oh, why do bad things happen to good people?
Here’s my great theological answer: I don’t know.
But this I know. No matter what trials come, I’ll do the good that I’m supposed to do.
And at the end of the day, I will win.
Friend, remain faithful to God in good times and in bad times.
And you’ll see how all things work for good to those who love Him.
And you’ll see how your Good Friday will turn to Easter Sunday.
Don’t ever give up!
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Home
Celebrate Me Home
Reuben Studdard
I'm going home today,
I believe I've missed each and every face,
get there and play my music,
Turn on every love light in the place
It's time I found myself,
Totally surrounded in the circles
Oh oh, my friends
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
I can recall
whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home.
Uneasy highway,
Traveling where the Westerly winds can fly,
Somebody tried to tell me,
But the men forgot to tell me why,
I gotta count on being gone,
Come on woman, come on daddy,
Be what you want me as
I'm this strong, I'll be weak
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
I can recall,
whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can make believe I've never gone.
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
...
Play me one more song,
Hey,
somebody said,
celebrate me home
i cant, wait to see ya,
i can't, wait to hold you,
you know i miss you, yeah.
come on and,
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home,
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home,
Well you know I'm finally here,
And you don't have to worry,
no,no...
no no no no no no
So come on and celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home.

Now that I have my own life and own family, I started missing the people and the things I used to do at home. Someone once told me that I couldn't choose him over my family. I said I didn't have to choose. Both are important to me. I guess he was hurt. Truth is, I was hurt too. I was appalled that he still thought that way, knowing that he already had me beside him. I don't regret choosing to have my own life and family, but, there are times, especially when I'm alone, that I miss the home I grew up in so much.

Life Soundtrack for Today
Woman In Chains
Tears for Fears
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says shes fine, shell always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor mans deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Its a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Men of stone
Men of stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Its under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I wont understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her
Tears for Fears
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says shes fine, shell always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor mans deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Its a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Men of stone
Men of stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Its under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I wont understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her
I can't breathe. I seem to be chained to something and I can't seem to let myself loose. I should've never passed-up on that Bohol vacation.
...
I find it funny that every time I feel something, I always find the right song that mirrors my sentiments. I've heard this song since only-God-knows-when and only-God-knows-how-many-times. It's like I grew up with it. I hart this song.

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you wanna go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.
But more than anything, more than anything...
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

and always give more than you take.
But More than anything, yeah, more than anything...

I only have few friends. I'm not choosy, it's just that I only meet a few who are worthy of being called a friend. But even if I only have a few friends, I feel that I am so blessed for having them. This song was dedicated to me by a friend. Awww!:)
Oh, yeah... Merry Christmas y'all! Keep fire burning!

Melancholic
"You And I Both"
Jason Mraz
Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.
See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free
And it's okay if you had to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
you've finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang
Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

For My Two Beautiful Children
Princess and Prince,
Mommy is feeling a little weak today. I feel tired. I feel sad. I feel alone. I'm sorry if I'm like this. Sometimes, even mommies get tired and they get weak, you know. Like, you, they also make a lot of mistakes. I have made a lot of mistakes. But still, I try to be strong for the both of you. You are all I have. You are my strength. My love for the two of you gives me the reason to fight and try to win the fight. If I have fought long and hard, it is all because of you. And I promise you, you will never see me crying. You will not see me hurt. I will remain strong for you. I love you both so much. I'll always be here for you.
Love,
Mommy

Too Much Hurt=Numb
I do not want to feel anything today. I just wish that everything would end. When I wake up from this nightmare, I wish I can still gather my wits together. I feel that now is the time that I should make a trip to the shrink.
STUCK IN A MOMENT
U2
U2
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass It's just a moment
This time will pass

The Essence of Being Human
I'm reading a book. It's called Living, Loving and Learning by Leo Buscaglia, Ph.D. This book is too optimistic for me, albeit, there is something in the book that keeps me flipping its pages. I've read only a few pages, but I feel that I have learned a lot. The power of words is really amazing. It can either make or break you. It is for this reason that I think before I utter a word. But anyway, there are still times that you have to say words that can hurt people because you have to, but you have to make sure that what you are saying is true.
It is a fact that in order for man to learn, he has to feel pain several times. Sometimes, the pain is nothing, and sometimes, he feels a pain so great, that he just wants everything to stop. It is entirely up to him if he will get out of it, no matter how big the pain he feels, or if he will just bury himself and feel the pain until he dies. It will be his choice if he will be strong or will be weak.
There are a lot of different ways of coping with pain. Either ways, you will need the help of another, a greater power at times. What makes a man human is the pain that he has to feel throughout his life. But what makes a human a person is the love and the care that he feels deep within him and the love and the care that he has to share.
"I think the loving person must return to spontaneity - return to touching each other, to holding each other, to smiling at each other, to thinking of each other, to caring about each other... Hugs are good, they feel nice, and if you don't believe it, try it."
- Leo Buscaglia, Ph. D.
