Food Craving

I was sick and I was hungry! When I check out my pantry, I know what to prepare. I had a bad headache for a week and I was off from my PC for days. It's hard to open my PC if I had a migraine plus alternating with rhinitis, ahhh it was agonizing. I woke up so hungry today because I lost my appetite for days. I was craving for "Binignit", it's a local food which the main ingredients are: plantain banana, coco milk and sweet potato. I did satisfy my craving with my home cooked binignit! BINIGNIT ang gikamingawan ko nga pagkaon. Naningkamot nalang ko tawon sa paghimo aron dili ko gutmon. Unsaon, nia man ko sa layo napadpad pag-panimpalad hehehe. Lamian nko nga Binignit, pastilan lami nalang para sa akoa kay wa man ako mama nga maoy magdigamo para sa akoa:-).

I'm humbled with all the blessings that I have. I miss the comfort food which I enjoyed back home. When we are away from home, we will miss the food---part of the culture. The only thing that you can do is to make it. Too much of a good thing makes us take for granted simple stuff around, right? Anyway, this is my entry for letter B. Hope you like it everyone!

Beautiful Sunrise

Trials make us vulnerable! We are but only humans, right? We have no super-power to switch on and shut down our feelings and senses! Problems can swallow us whole especially if we have no one to talk to and share our burden with. WAKE UP! If we let "the problems" rule over us, it will definitely knock us down and everything will turn-upside-down, what do you expect?

"Ang Pagsubang sa Adlaw"- Kini ang nagapahinumdum kanato nga ang kinabuhi adunay paglaum nga maayo luyo sa atong problema nga maoy nagpahuyang sa atoang pagtoo kaniya nga gamhanan sa tanan.

LIFE is what we make it! Sunrise reminds us that as long as we breathe life, there is HOPE! Don't let the problems knock you down, okay? If you feel like everyone turns their back on you, there is GOD who is an ULTIMATE one that you need in your LIFE!

Angel by Sarah MacLachlan

Whenever hubby heard this song in XM Radio, he would turn the volume up. He just loves the song and I don't see why. This is a sad song but full of hope and compassion to someone. This song was inspired by Jonathan Melvoin's death, a keyboardist of Smashing Pumpkin group who died of drug overdose. The melody would drive you to the world of serenity and bring you in a placid mood. If you happen to see the movie City of Angels starring Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage, this song made it to the number 1 in the billboard chart. That movie is one of my favorites. I cried rivers at the end of the movie. Sigh!

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh a beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight life
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Gwyneth Paltrow On Glee

I forgot to save the latest episode of Glee which is SEXY. Gwyneth Paltrow is Holly, came back as a Sex Ed substitude. OH yeah :-) She's teaching the students about sex education through music. Relax, listen and I hope you like her version.

This song was written by Stevie Nicks in 1975.

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till Landslide brought me down

Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm mmm I don’t know
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm

Well I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older, I’m getting older too

Soo (Interlude)

I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I
I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, children get older
I’m getting older too
I’m getting older too
Soo take this love, take it down
Ohh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down, down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills,
Well maybe, the landslide will bring it down
Well well the landslide with bring it down

Gwyneth Palthrow : Just My Imagination

Have you seen the movie Duets? This film was released in 2000 starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis among others and directed by Bruce Paltrow. This movie is all about the characters whose lives evolved in Karaoke Competitions. If you haven't watch this movie yet, check it out in Netflix :-)
This song is a duet sung by Gwyneth Paltrow and Babyface. What an awesome duo, right? Don't forget to watch out Gwyneth Paltrow on the latest episode of Glee tonight!

Gwyneth Paltrow:
Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself
I'm so lucky he's so fly
To have a boy like him
Is truly a dream come true
Out of all the girlies in the world
He belongs to you

[Chorus]

But it was just my imagination
Runnin away with me
Tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me


Babyface:

Soon we'll be married
And raise a family (oh yea...)
Have a cozy little crib in the country
With two children maybe three
I tell you I...
Can raise your lies down baby
It couldn't be a dream
Cause too real it all seems
Oooohhhh...

[Chorus]

But it was just my imagination (once again yea)
Runnin away with me (running away with me)
Tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me (away with me yea)

Gwyneth Paltrow and Babyface:

Everynight on my knees I pray
Dear lord hear my plea yea
Don't ever let another
Take his love from me
Or I will surely die
Heavenly (heavenly) when your arms unfold me
I hear the tender upsity
But in reality
He doesn't even know me

[Chorus]

But it was just my imagination (ohh, so fly look out my window)
Runnin away with me (It's running away with me baby)
Just my imagination (runnin away)
Running away with me (my baby, my sugar, my sweetie, look at my baby)

Just my imagination (ohh, soo fly look out my window)
Runnin away with me (It's runnin away with me)
Just my imagination (yeeaaaa)
Running away with me (my baby, my sugar, my sweetie, look at my baby)

Just my imagination (ohh, soo fly look out my window)
Runnin away with me (It's runnin away with me)
Just my imagination (yeeaaaa)

Isn't he Cute?

If boredom takes a hold on you right at this moment :-) care to listen and watch this video. A child's rendition of Jason Marz song of which he might not know how to sing it but, he can truly interpret it hehehe. Isn't he cute? Look at the chords he is making, it is absolutely the right one and the plucking is good considering his age:-) I can't help but admire his skills. If he will continue with this passion and guitar playing skill as well, he will improve for the better.
I am sharing this video from tonimadeira channel from youtube just to lighten your day. Keep smilin because life is beautiful!

Talking To God

My mother is the ultimate inspiration of my life. She taught me everything and she introduce God to my life even before I can see the world. When my mother was pregnant, she would hear mass every day with my 2 year old brother tagging along. Up to today, my mother never ceased to adore God and she always has a prayerful heart. I believed that for what I have become, it is because my mother brought us closer to God every waking moment of our lives.
Talking to God is not only those moments when I needed him. I talk to God when I am happy and there's no one to share it with. I talk to God not only when I am down but also when I am in my easy day. We need to talk to God every day.
