DAVID COOK ALBUM

Hi Peoplehood.

My friend gave me a David Cook album yesterday cause she knows i've been a fan since his American Idol days. Ive been listening to it the whole day and almost memorized all the lyrics nyahah. The first thing ive noticed was that a lot of words used in the lyrics are quite unique, i mean, words that are not commonly used in songs and quite hard to put melody in it but voila, David Cook and the other composers really did justice if thats the right term. Some words used were declaration, avalanche, permanent, atmosphere, sensitive and temporary. There are 13 tracks, inluding his Idol piece "Time of my Life" as a bonus track. When I heard all the songs, the first thing came to my mind was that the album is all about how-men-fall-inlove syndrome :). Imagine a guy telling you this stanzas,

"So I’ll let you go, I'll set you free

And when you see what you need to see

When you find you come back to me"

"Here are my thoughts, have some faith in me

and I'll let you be who you need to be"

"Today's not the same as every day

it's far from ordinary

The pain I endure You're my cure

but my mistakes have led me far away from you... "

The first single released was "Light On" ,wherein the chorus goes

"Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Something I rely on to get home

One I can feel at night, A naked light, a fire to keep me warm

Try to leave a light on when Im gone

Even in the daylight, shine on

And when its late at night you can look inside"

You wont feel so alone"

and a lot more... cool right?.My favorite though is the song "Permanent" . David Cook sang it "soulfully." Light On (Love the arrangement!), Heroes, Come Back To Me, Life On The Moon, Lie, I Did It For You, Avalanche and Permanent are the best tracks. You'll never regret buying this album, David Cook truly deserved to be the Idol of the year. Below is David Cook singing "Permanent" and " Life on the Moon" live. Enjoy. Byers Peeps. Winn Out.

Merry Christmas Peeps!

Hi Peoplehood.

Spending my Christmas after two years back here at home was so refreshing, though my dad's not here physically, i know he'll still be here in spirit. i spent christmas the past two years at work, the negativity of being a call center agent nyaha. Now that i'm spending it again normally, i'm really looking forward for our noche buena cause Christmas is like a family reunion to us wherein all our relatives from the province will gather in our house and kids are all over the place. Christmas is Family as always. Enjoy the Holidays Peeps...Just enjoy the thrill of traffic jams, long lines at groceries, the freezing cold(back here in Baguio), the noise nyaha.... it will all be worth it. Much LOVE and HAppiness this Holiday season....

Prayers to all of us.

my first blog @ blogger.com

Hi Peoplehood.

I've been a member of blogger.com for months now, however, i can't seem to start a blog though i've been writing a few in my notebook ( i call it my Destiny quotable cutebook ). it's like a diary with a twist. It contains quotes, dialogues from my fave movies and tv series, my fave text messages received, song lyrics, etc. Anything that i would love to write and its actually handwritten and its quite messy nyahaha. I'll just share some of it on my next blogs. Since i don't know how to start my blog on this site( one reason is, im very amazed on how bloggers write, and im quite shy to publish cause i still have grammar errors. well, its okay though, i just want to voice out whatever the hell im feeling or thinking hehe.), let me just publish the blog i've made in my friendster account months ago, a day before my birthday.it's about my Dad.. well, hope i can still follow this up nyahaha. till my next blogs.

winn out.

9.20.08. it’s 1:19 am. saturday.

i’m here in my pad in manila, alone, just checking my friendster accounts and chatting with some of my friends thru ym.
in less than few hours, i’ll be home in baguio.
in less than 24 hours, it’ll be my 29th year.
i don’t know what prompt me,
i hit the create blog button of my profile.
i just wanna write or type or think or whatever. it’s been months since i’ve made my last blog or write in my quotable quote notebook.
maybe i just wanna tell my story. maybe…
5 months ago, my life changed.
i’m on my way to baguio when my sister called that our dad was rushed to the hospital. it’s his 5th stroke. for the last two consecutive strokes that he had, i was the one who rushed him to the hospital with my brothers and just for a few minutes, he’s okay again… my dad was the strongest person that i’ve ever known because even if he had 4 strokes, he never felt that he was weak. he always thinks that he’s still the same workaholic father who can do anything even if he can’t… i went straight to the hospital hoping that he’s awake just like before. but then when i saw him in the ICU, he’s asleep. my mama asked me to wake him up because it’s been hours and he’s not yet awake… maybe i could be the one who could wake him because i’m his girl… for hours, days, weeks… we’ve waited. but then he just laid there. the doctors told us that we’re just waiting for his time. but we knew our dad. we knew he’s fighting. then, we decided to take him home cause knowing our dad, it’s what he wants. my bro & sis who, are both nurses along with my other bro who followed his steps as a dentist was his “doctors”. in a week they taught me everything that i could possibly learn because even if they don’t want to, they have to leave to work overseas. we were hoping that even if he’s still in coma, we were praying for a miracle. when they left, i took care of him day and night. i’ve learned how to be a “doctor” too. i know that even if he’s not responding, he can hear me. i’m always telling him that even if he just lay there, i’ll take care of him no matter what, i even lay beside his bed, checking every hour his vital signs and suctioning his trach & mouth as needed. he was better at home rather than he was at the hospital. for weeks, his respirator and oxygen was slowly removed. though he was already opening his eyes for a few moments, i don’t know if he can see me but i know he can hear & feel me… i always say that it’s okay,dad. as long as you’re here with me… for months, i never left him or slept unless someone is there to look after him… and then, on a saturday morning, july 5th. it was my dreaded moment… i opened the window, as i always do whenever the sun rises. checked his pulse oximeter and it was okay. i was alone with him. i did’nt know what happened… i just dozed off. i just woke up when i heard my brother screamed that my dad has no motion. i checked his oximeter, it was blank. i tried to resuscitate him thru CPR and even used the ambobag… but then nothing happened.. he was warm but he’s not breathing… my brother told me to give up… i was screaming because if i did’nt sleep, maybe he’s still alive. i felt that it’s my fault. for hours, i screamed and cried… it was my darkest moment. after he was cleaned up, i sat beside him. he’s still warm and when i look at his face… he was smiling. and then, i realized, he can’t feel any pain anymore. he’s already resting… and then i thought, he really love me that much that he did’nt let me see him struggled for his breath. he was the one who let me fell asleep… he just wants to spend time with me even for 2 months because for the past 2-3 years that i’ve been working here in manila, we didn’t spend much time together wherein eversince i was a child i was with him all the time. that’s why he fought for a longer time so that we could be together even for awhile… it’s 2 & a half month since he was laid to rest at heaven’s garden… i went out straight and be with my friends so that i could smile and laugh again…
and its been weeks now that i’m back here to continue what i’ve started… but then… i still don’t know what to do… i still don’t know what i like… i’m not yet focused… . when i’m alone, i’m just staring at nowhere, thinking . i can still feel the pain, hurt, loneliness and emptiness within me…i’m not yet fine, i’m not yet well… in a few hours, i’m going home…in a few hours, its my 29Th year. it’ll be different now knowing that he’s not there to pray for me as he always do whenever my birthday comes.
i’ll be going to see him… i’ll ask for his guidance, to give me strength, courage and will to move on and letting go of all the emptiness that i’m feeling right now… and i know, as always, he’ll give me not what i want… but what he thinks i need and what he thinks is right for me. i know there’ll be signs… i just have to follow, believe, trust him and most especially pray. i know he’s watching over me… he is and he will always be… my guardian angel.
