My "Yo-ja-chin-gu" in Korea ^_^

[4:33:59 AM] - - - Xam - - -:

Hey baby! Touchdown south Korea.  I miss you already... And the house, and the pillows, and umm blanket, and my tree, and everything...

Di bale, Uwi k na naman soon db? :)

I'm watching you sleep now; mixture of emotions, kasi I'm happy you were able to sleep good and sad that I'm not there to cuddle you... Though I'm noticing that you are sleeping on my side of the bed, which is heartwarming

I love you so much babe. Thanks for a wonderful stay; soooooooooo much more enjoyable and memorable compared to the previous years. Definitely several notches leveling up! :)

No network coverage yung sa globe but I'll keep the globe sim on my fon until 9 (8am syo) to try and see if I can receive your texts. Strong naman free wifi dito so call me sa viber anytime once you wake up. 10am here (9am syo) ang boarding time then Skype tyo para may video (I feel like a voyeur now, watching you sa Skype. Ang linaw!!!!!!! Hehehhehe :))

I'm hungry :( naikot ko na yung 3/4 ng airport (malaki pala itong airport na Ito)   Pero wala pang bukas na mga kainan. I bought a small Evian for $2 and wala akong magustuhan na ok na food dito sa mga parang little stalls nila na 24hrs so Imma try to look for something to eat again ng mga 7-8am; hopefully may mga bukas na. Imma eat my sky flakes and water for the meantime. While collecting coins for you sa snoopy :)

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,

It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,

It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,

It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Until You're Home Again...

Your Kind of Fire

Do you feel it too 

 the tug 

 the pull 

 the crackling in between 

 almost tangible 

 painstakingly palpable 

 no light 

 no sound 

 just you 

 the turmoil in my head 

 the fast beat of my heart 

 or do I only see 

 breathe 

 feel 

 hear 

 what I want it to still be?

Somebody That I Used To Know

Now and then I think of when we were together, 
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die, 
Told myself that you were right for me, 
But felt so lonely in your company, 
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember. 


You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, 
Like resignation to the end, 
Always the end, 
So when we found that we could not make sense, 
Well you said that we would still be friends, 
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over. 


But you didn't have to cut me off, 
Make out like it never happened, 
And that we were nothing, 
And I don't even need your love, 
But you treat me like a stranger, 
And that feels so rough, 
No you didn't have to stoop so low, 
Have your friends collect your records, 
And then change your number, 
I guess that I don't need that though, 
Now you're just somebody that I used to know, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know. 


Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over 
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done 
And I don't wanna live that way 
Reading into every word you say 
You said that you could let it go 
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know... 


But you didn't have to cut me off, 
Make out like it never happened, 
And that we were nothing, 
And I don't even need your love, 
But you treat me like a stranger, 
And that feels so rough. 
No you didn't have to stoop so low, 
Have your friends collect your records, 
And then change your number, I guess that I don't need that though, 
Now you're just somebody that I used to know, 
Somebody, I used to know, 
Somebody, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, 
Somebody, I used to know, Somebody, 
Now your just somebody that I used to know, I used to know 
That I used to know 
Somebody...

Not again...

I see you slipping away from us

vanishing ever so slowly

I feel so helpless

I can't make time stop

I can't make you fight

when it seems that you have given up

I wish it was just like before

when you were strong and healthy

when you would tell me happy stories

and tuck me in bed to put me to sleep

But all I can do now

is to be here for you

tell you that I love you

try to make you smile again

I know that everything seems bleary

confusing

cluttered

but I hope you find it within you

that your heart may remember

just how much we love you.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy birthday to the greatest hero of my life!

You would have been 65 years old

and we could have enjoyed the "senior" jokes

Until we meet again...

We love and miss you so much.
