well I am here in manila, arrived here on the 24th and I am not in front of my PC so I cant upload pictures. I have taken my point and shoot with me so I wont be missing much on the things I will be doing here. I have decided to go around and find some interesting things to blog on and i have a lot going on already in my camera. :) I promise to post everything when I get back home. Until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Below is the lyric of the Song how do I breathe which was done by Mario Barrett... Since youtube won't let me embed the video the least thing I can do is post the lyrics and his picture...

Lyrics:

It feels so different being here,
I was so used to being next to you,
Life for me is not the same,
There's no one to turn to.
I don't know why I let it go too far,
Starting over - it's so hard.
Seems like everywhere I try to go,
I keep thinking of you.

[Hook:]
I just had a wake up call,
Wishing that I never let you fall,
Baby you are not to blame at all.
Remember when I pushed you away.
Baby if you knew I cared,
You'd have never went nowhere (nowhere),
Girl I should've been right there.

[Chorus:]
How do I breathe
Without you here by my side?
How will I see
When your love brought me to the light?
Where do I go
When your heart's where I lay my head?
When you're not with me,
How do I breathe?
How do I breathe?

[Verse:]
Girl I'm losin' my mind.
Yes I made a mistake.
I thought that you would be mine.
Guess the joke was on me.
I miss you so bad, I can't sleep.
I wish I knew where you could be.
Another dude is replacing me,
But this can't be happening.

(Repeat HOOK and CHORUS)

[Verse:]
I can't get over you no (ooh)
Baby I don't wanna let go.
Girl you need to come home,
Back to me
'Cause girl you made it hard to breathe
When you're not with me.

(Repeat Chorus)

How do I breathe?
[Some speaking starts]
Without you here by my side?
How will I see (how will I see)
When your love brought me to the light (baby, baby)?
Where do I go (where do)
When your heart's where I lay my head?
When you're not with me (you're not with me),
How do I breathe (how do I breathe)?
How do I breathe?

Thank you lord for blessing us with such a talent. I will record my version of this and will have boashtful Shwimpf do the piano for me... I will soon post it up here... :) Enjoy this live performance of Gary V. I may not be able to equal this performance but just all the same, I am a fan of Gary... I will post some tagalog songs that he did here in the future. For the mean time here is his performance.

I was listening to some of my old CD's and came across this lovely song done by Jennifer love Hewitt. I thought I'd just share this out. I was close to tears when I heard this one. It made me recall my high school days.

There is a little story behind this, and I dont know what got into me today. I think its just the gloomy weather and lack of sleep. Last night, I had a little bit of a hard time catching sleep because whenever I drift to unconsciousness another bolt of emotions would hit me and keep me awake. That's really a strange feeling.

This used to be my break-up song. I was dating someone for almost 2 years and that was also for almost 2 years ago. It's been a long time since i last talked to my Ex exlcuding the casual Hi and Hellos we exchanged a couple of weeks back and i consider that illigitimate. I was on my way from a mall when I found myself seatted in front of my EX in a jeepney. That strange feeling of having known someone for a long time and because of circumstances we'd have to part ways. I used to be so attached to my ex before. That one person who taught me so many things from boosting my self confidence, handling my job and pimping my clothes. Such was this person as a driving force in my life. I would be to where I am perhaps if not for those meaningful inputs I considered to be a life saver.

I was just breezing through memory lane... Thats a melancholic way of spending my last night of the weekend before waking up the next day and going back to work.

I deliberated on this for a couple of days. I went through a whole lot of soul searching just so I can decide whether I should post this here. I had talked with boashtful Shwimpf about this and I was given the blessing to show off this stuff.

I found this picture in my friends profile. At first I thought of this as a joke made by him but then after a couple of minutes of staring, I figured that it doesn't look like it is.

Originally, the girl on this picture should have been Jessica Alba. After combining good technology and creativity(if you can consider this as something that's creative), I was surprised how well my friend's face fitted to replace Jessica's. I would have to say that the imposition made is clean, if not for the disagreeing skin tone of the my friends face and that of the Jessica's arm things would have looked natural. But I guess nature would have its way of setting things to its proper proportion.

I spent last Sunday with my two moms. We went malling and searched the boutiques to get ahead of the Christmas Shopping Season. We proceeded to buy a Cellphone as a present for a relative all three of us love.

I took a picture of them candidly doing their catching up. My Biological mom is wearing a purple shirt and my foster mom is wearing an all black ensemble from one of her favorite designers, herself.

I noticed that the mall itself, despite of it being far from the city proper, is still well received by the Cagayanons. I thought maybe there's a lot of people like me that would love to diversify their malling experience. Right down below I also took some pictures of the things I found amusing and weird. After we bought that present for my foster moms sister, all three of us agreed to go downstairs to check on some furnitures that both my moms are planning to buy for their respective houses. I got a little bit sidetracked with the candles that cost quite a lot for their purposes but I figured that aesthecally speaking they really should at least cost more than the usual.




We proceeded to the other side of the mall where we can also shop for shirts and stuff that cost less than what they were when the mall is not on a mallwide sale. I took a picture of a signage that is supposed to attract a lot of onlookers. I thought this signage is funny because at first glance I mistakenly read it as "fashion for the less fortunate".

After a couple of hours of going back and forth from one boutique to another. All three of us decided that what better way of enjoying this moment of bonding together is to try out BIGBY'S.

I've had been a constant patron of this restaurant. As a matter of fact (so to speak) I dined out with my "Boashtful Shwimpf" the day before I went malling with my moms.

I was a little excited because this would be the first time in so many years that I'd be able to enjoy my time with my moms. I realized how I missed my dad after he passed away. Things are no longer the same for me as my foster mom would have to cry at times because she misses him so badly. I am quite relieved that she has always been keeping an open mind about her situation and tries a lot to cope with it.

I took some pictures of the orders we took out from their menu.
I had always been a pasta lover and ever since I have always delighted myself with Bigby's Ocean Harvest Pasta. I have always thought that being healthy and eating jives well together. This pasta looks okay and tastes more than how it looks, but I cant simply ignore the fact that the cream used as its dressing is packed with more calories than I could imagine.



Both of moms thought of having been meat lovers for the past few weeks and because they are a little bit worried about their health, I suggested they try the following fish based meals in the restaurants menu.





My Foster Mom thought she'd be better off with the Singaporean Fish Bowl that looked so inviting, only that she never knew it would be a little bit spicier than what she hoped for.





Bio-Mom helped herself with a serving of fish fillets and rice (Buttered Dory Fish Fillets). But she couldn't take her eyes off my Pasta and started regretting her choice but after a couple of mouthfuls she loved the taste on her palate.

I have taken a couple of pictures, last Sunday, of my FLOWERHORN. I named him SID after a month of deciding. I thought ISIDRO is nice but someone protested...

I fed him fresh shrimps off the market and then switch to Ocean Free after a month. Since then he had been growing a couple of centimeters almost everyday.
