Jumper
Third Eye Blind

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand.

The angry boy, a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong

Well everyone I know has got a reason, to say
Put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand.

And well he's on the table
And he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.
You could cut ties with all the lies,
That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand

(I would understand)
(I would understand)
(Understand)

Ya ya ya ya ya...

Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend)
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend)
And I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend)
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend)
And I would understand.

Miss ko na siya...

Missing JoC

Mirrors and Smoke
Jars of Clay with Leigh Nash

I'm feeling older than my years
I'm feeling pain inside my chest
It's love that keeps me silent
It's my silence that you detest
Rivers flow into the oceans
And oceans never fill
I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will

Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke
But love will keep you wishing
And my heart will keep me broke

I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt
I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could never write
Rivers flow into the oceans
And oceans never fill
I want to let you know me
But I know I never will

Love's a contradiction
Many mirrors and smoke
Love will keep you wishing
My heart makes me broke

You will always want me
And I'll always want to leave
Even though I cut your wounds
You still deny they're real
Rivers flow into the ocean
Oceans never fill
I want to lay my life down
But I know you never will

Love's a strange condition
With all the doubts it can invoke
Your love keeps me wishing
And my heart keeps me broke

Baby, don't you cry, 'cause I got it all figured out
You always make me sad
But that's what true love is all about
Rivers never fill the oceans
But oceans always feel
The waters reaching deep inside them
I guess they always will

Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke
Love, it keeps you wishing
My heart, it keeps me broke

Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke
Love, it keeps you wishing
My heart, it makes me broke

A Walk to Remember OST is really my favorite and Switchfoot is also one of my favorite.

* Napost ko na ata to dati but I'll post it again

You
Switchfoot

There's always something in the way
There's always something getting through
But it's not me
It's You, it's You

Sometimes ignorance rings true
But hope is not in what I know
It's not in me
It's in You, it's in You

It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know

And I find peace when I'm confused
And I find hope when I'm let down
Not in me, Me,
In You, it's in You

I hope to lose myself for good
I hope to find it in the end
Not in me, me,
In You, in You

It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know

In You
In You
It's in You
It's in You

There's always something in the way
There's always something getting through
But it's not me
It's You
It's You
It's You...

Happiness and Joy Defined

Just tonight, God showed me (again) the difference between happiness and joy. I've been cautiously using these words in describing an emotion ever since I've learned about their difference. I've heard a simple yet succinct definition of the two from a Pastor at CCF that goes like this:

"Happiness depends on happenings.
Joy depends on Jesus Christ."

Yes, I personally feel the difference.

Let It Go

Found this poem when I randomly checked from the influx of mails in my inbox from the Aqua Dgroup yahoogroups. I think it came from Rhyanne.

This was written by TD Jakes, an American Pastor and writer, I'm just not sure when exactly. This could serve as a strong encourage to us especially those who still couldn't loosen their grip on the things from the past that hinder them from moving forward in their lives (Bambi, I know sinabi mo tinamaan ka dito. Ako din, somehow. hehe! ). The poem deeply touched me because the words that the author wrote tell of the principles I uphold to particularly when it comes to letting go of some things from the past.

So here it goes (phrases in bold/bigger font are by the poster ):

~~~

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk to another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The Bible said that,
They came out from us that it might be made manifest
that they were not for us.
For had they been of us,
no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can't make them stay.
Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in good-bye.

It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something
that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents...
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...
LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level in Him...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship...
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves...
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ....
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to...
LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2008 !!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!

"The Battle is the Lord's!"

He Hears Me

I am happy joyful about what God has been doing to my in the past couple of weeks/months.

In my journal entry dated June 18, 2008, I listed down some of my prayer items and prayed for them everytime I have my quiet time. I am so amazed on how God answers them one by one. Here are the things I prayed for/still praying for (I share only those written on the date I mentioned...hehe! ):

• I pray to meet new people who will be important to me and who will create an impact in my life -- I didn't expect one of them will be an officemate
  
• I pray to be able to spend more time with friend and deepen and strengthen my relationship with them -- kwentuhan with Armie when I went home the other Sunday, kwentuhan with Jeff when we met up last week, bonding with CROImates at Jenica's despedida last Monday are just some instances
  
• I pray to become a good, worthy and dependable friend to my friends -- I'm not the right one to answer this. hehe!
  
• I pray to have a renewed, burning faith in my Lord -- yes, it feels so overwhelmingly joyful
  
• I pray to be able to use my musical and dancing skills for His glory -- still a work in progress but God allowed me to share it during the youth choir week last Sunday.
  
• I pray to be able to make a difference and to touch other people's lives -- do I? hehe! . This is always my prayer.
  
• I pray to be able to treasure and care for my few, real friends -- I continue to pray, through God's grace.
  
• I pray to have a cell group or small group -- thank You, Lord for the Aqua D-group.

Answered prayers plus some other blessings bring in my lately even if not all things are going well. It just feels good. Of course, I'm still going through a continuous "refinement", a "work in progress", so to speak. But the joy He brings makes it all worth it.

Bakit Ba Nakita Pa Kita?

You caught my eyes and my heart. I don't know how it happened but I have slowly fallen for you. Everytime I look at you, my heart melts and my soul longs to touch you and feel you. I hope and pray to have you in my life...



It basically has the same features as my black Olympus mju 790 but I love this more primarily because of the color.

But this one is lovely too!



I'm confused!
