part two

this morning, while riding the fx again ( fx stories na ito ...) i heard a song that somehow i can relate to. i've never heard of that song before but when i heard it, it was really about me. hehe. anyway, this is the lyrics of that song.

Lagi mo nlng ako dinededma
-Rocksteady

* mahal kita pero di mo lang alam
Hindi mo alam kasi hindi mo naman ako tinitignan
Ayaw mo naman itanong sakin kasi baka nga naman hindi naman ikaw
At hindi ko rin naman sayo sasabihin kasi ayoko pa sa ngayon na manligaw

Mahal kita pero hindi nga lang halata
Hindi halata kasi wala naman akong ginagawa
Hindi ako kumikibo hindi ako nagsasalita wala

Pero hindi ako torpe
Hindi ko lang talaga masabi sayo ng harapan
Mahal kita pero dehins mo pa rin ramdam
Hindi mo ko titignan di rin kita titgnan
Lagi mo lang akong pakikiramdaman lagi rin kitang pakikiramdaman
At araw araw tayong magdededmahan
Hanggang sa tayo ay magkabistuhan

Pero ngayong malapit nang matapos ang kanta ko
Nais kong magkaalaman na
Nais kong ako na rin ang magsabi sayo ng harapan
Kasi alam kong doon din naman ang tuloy nyan
At dalawa din lang naman ang posibleng sagot dyan oo o hindi

Kaya eto na sasabihin ko na para matapos na
At hindi na magka-tsismisan pa
Sasabihin ko na para wala nang problema
At para hindi na rin kayong lahat nabibitin pa
(repeat *)

Songs of my life

last sunday, i was over at vannie's house to make our thesis( supposedly) but it turned out that we just watched tv and then i felt asleep. In ASAP, the song Never get over you was sang. And then we were both looking for the title of the koreanovela that used this song as its theme song. Yun, after 2 days of hearing it over the radio while riding the fx going to school, naalala ko na. Love in the City pala. hehe. :P

I hear you're taking the town again
Havin' a good time
With all your good-time friends
I don't think that you think of me
You're on your own now
And I'm alone and free

I know that I should get on with my life
But a life lived without you
Could never be right

Chorus:
As long as the stars shine down
From the heavens
Long as the rivers run
To the sea
I'll never get over you
Getting over me

I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Tell everybody
That I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away
(Won't go away..)
Loneliness found me
Looks like it's here to stay

I know that I oughta find someone new
But all I find is myself
Always thinkin' of you

Chorus

Oh!
No matter what I do
Each night's a lifetime to live through
I can't go on like this
(I need your touch)
You're the only one I'll ever love)
Oh, oh.. ah....

Ooh.....
Ooh.....
Ooh.....

And as
Long as the stars shine down
From the heavens
Long as the rivers run
To the sea
I'll never get over you
Getting over me

I'll never get over you
Getting over
Never get over you...
Getting over
I'll never get over you
Getting over me

Sa May Bintana

i heard this song over the radio while i was riding an fx going to school. it really captured my attention and i thought that it was really a great song


Sa May Bintana

Lagi na lang akong dumudungaw sa may bintana
Upang masulyapan kahit anino mo man lamang
Nagbabakasakaling ikaw ay lumingon
Ano kaya ito aking nadarama

Araw araw ako'y naghihintay sa may bintana
Nananalangin sana'y hindi ka pa nagdaraan
Parang bumibilis tibok nitong puso
Pagibig ba itong aking nadarama

Napupuyat sa ka iisip, nababato't naiinip
Laging laman nang panaginip
Di kayang magtiis isang araw sa may bintana
Nang di kita masulyapan makindatan man lamang
Tumutigil buong mundo sa tuwing ika'y magdaraan

Araw araw ako'y naghihintay sa may bintana
Nananalangin sana'y hindi ka pa nagdaraan
Parang bumibilis tibok nitong puso
Pagibig ba itong aking nadarama

Napupuyat sa ka iisip, nababato't naiinip
Laging laman nang panaginip
Di kayang magtiis isang araw sa may bintana
Nang di kita masulyapan makindatan man lamang
Pumupigil buong mundo sa tuwing ika'y magdaraan

Life is full of pain and suffering. Everything that we do involves pain. That life is full of pain is already a universally-accepted truth. From the moment we were conceived until we die, everyone experiences pain. And what causes these pains that we get along with in life is the fact the we desire infinitely. We get something but we strive to get more. And because we want to get more, we work harder, and in the end, suffer greater. But Buddha points out that the only way to end these pain is to give up our desires. And in the end, after we experience the eight-fold path can we only experience real happiness.

In life, people of today preoccupy themselves with a lot of things so that they would feel a great sense of being. Most of us believe that what defines our humanity is how much we have done in the past, how much we are doing in the present, and how much we are planning to do in the future. there is an emphasis on doing rather than being. We feel a great sense of urgency to keep ourselves busy so that we could experience a great sense of worthiness. But in the end people would complain that life has been very difficult and painful for them. What we do not realize is the fact that what makes life difficult is our desires. Our desire to work infinitely to please everybody makes life harder for us. (Or maybe we don't have the time to reflect because we are so preoccupied with busyness?) Pain comes from not being contented with life alone but rather asking more of what life has to offer. We search for infinite capabilities though we are finite beings. We ought to live like we will not die but in the end we will feel that we are dying without having lived.

What we are can never be defined by HOW MUCH we have done but by WHAT we have done. It is not a matter of quantity but of quality. Choosing the good in everything that we do is one thing and is already enough. Exerting a lot of effort to make people appreciate you for all your deeds would be an entirely different thing.

It is not bad to desire. In fact it is what keeps us focused and directed in our life. Yes, because of these desires we experience pain but it is also essential to our life. And in our desire to do the good we experience pain—a needed pain.

Giving up our desires—the unnecessary ones, will make our life a lot less complicated, and a lot more enjoyable. Because when we give up our unneeded wants and when we start to not preoccupy ourselves with a lot of work can we only see the beauty of our life and of our world. Then we can reflect on things which are essential to us—on doing what is right.
