The


The mockingbird and the ultimate
The unexpected invitation
The addition
The surprising swap
The heart-wrenching ride

The excitement of waiting and thrill of things coming
The big leap... would the water be calm or would the waves give their angry welcome?
The randomness of mind the heart that puts color to everything

I wish I can spell them all

Grow Old With You

I'm going to sing this song in my wedding. That's for sure!

KASAMA KANG TUMANDA

Itong awiting ito
Ay alay sayo
Sintunado man to
Mga pangako ko sayo
Ang gusto ko lamang
Makasama kang tumanda

Patatawanin kita
Pag hindi ka masaya
Bubuhatin kita
Pag nirayuma ka na
O kay sarap isipin
Kasama kang tumanda

Ibibili ng balot
Pag mahina na tuhod
Ikukuha ng gamot
Pag sumakit ang likod
O kay sarap isipin
Kasama kang tumanda

Chorus:

Sasamahan kahit kailanman
Mahigit kumulang di mabilang
Tatlumpung araw sa isang buwan
Umabot man tayo sa three thousand one

Magmukha mang bruha
Paggising sa umaga
Pupunasan ko pa ang muta mo sa mata
O kay sarap isipin
Kasama kang tumanda

Paglalaba pa kita
Matapos mamalantsa
Kahit abot abutin
Man ako ng pasma
O kay sarap isipin
Kasama kang tumanda

Chorus:

Sasamahan kahit kailanman
Mahigit kumulang di mabilang
Tatlumpung araw sa isang buwan
Umabot man tayo sa three thousand one

Loves na love parin kita
Kahit bungi bungi ka na
Para akin ikaw parin
Ang pinakamaganda
O kay sarap isipin
Kasama kang tumanda

At nangangako sayo
Pag sinagot mong oo
Iaalay sayo buong puso ko
Sumangayon ka lamang
Kasama kang tumanda

Call me corny but this movie really fascinated me. It was very light, funny and cutesy and will give you a couple of heart-tickle. You don't have to take it seriously but you'll get few lessons about love and relationship -- like love doesn't count.

May latest Mindanao trip was awesome. My most adventurous so far. We went looking for 'Solo' papaya farmers and traders. After two provinces and six towns, we found out that the 'Solo' papaya farms there were almost gone. We will be exploring South Cotabato next.

I met with my long-time friend and my 'inaanak' in Cagayan de Oro City. Time is too short. We were supposed to talk about our coming high school reunion on December but with all the catching up -- the changes in our lives and stuff, we almost forgot about the reunion. Louise, my 'inaanak' is such a charming kid. He enjoyed me carrying him in my shoulders.
