This is my MONTH

it's now mid april, then i was just looking forward to this month to add a year older to myself but now it will be different. aside from my birthday i'll be looking forward to this month to celebrate the day we tie the knot, the bind we both bid to God the day after my birthday. it was quite unusual to have the date of our wedding set next day after an important day in once life, well at least that would not saves me from forgetting it but do keep me from remembering it always.

times running quick i never imagine it has been one year after we wed. well after the wedding it has been a speed turn around of events and time. i had my new and challenging job the same time our baby came out. new responsibilities, new futures, new plans and a lot of new stuff to look forward to. i was just too thankful though, from this fast turn around of time i am standing tall and ready for everything. never to be afraid cause i know He's all up there.

what i should be looking forward is another year of sweet memories and blessings form Above. sweet life, health for me and my family, abundance, peaceful relationship and God centered family, well i think that covers all with my last wish. definitely.

well happy birthday to me and happy anniversary as well! see my self and my wifey in baguio!

Lipad ng Pangarap

I love this song the first time i ever heared it. The lyrics says a lot and thus reflects something in ones lives. March is month of graduation and i may suggest this one is a nice graduation song to pick. I dedicate this to all the Graduates of 2008, most specially to my sister, Wennie.

Lipad ng Pangarap
Composer: Arnel de Pano
Singer: DESSA

taglay mo sa bagwis ng 'yong paghayo
ang pangako ng walang hanggang bukas
pabaon man sa 'yo'y hapdi ng puso
aabutin ang pangarap

at ang bunga ng wagas mong pagsisikap
pag-unlad nitong bayang nililiyag
kapalit ng dalamhati't paghihirap
pag-angat ng kabuhayang marilag

CHORUS
liparin mo ang hangganan ng langit
sa ulap ng pag-asa ay iyong makakamit
ang tagumpay na bunga nang iyong pagpupunyagi
pangarap ng inang bayang tinatangi

(balakid man sayo hapdi ng iyong puso aabutin ang pangarap)

tutularan ka ng sunod na salinlahi
kapuri-puring pag-aalay ng lakas
nagpupugay sa makabagong bayani
ang buong bansa'y nagpapasalamat

Repeat Chorus

REFRAIN
ingatan mo ang lipad ng pangarap
umaasa sa iyo ang bayan mong naghihintay
kakampi mo sa dulo ng lahat ng 'yong pagpapagal
ang tamis na dulot ng iyong tagumpay
ang tamis na dulot ng iyong tagumpay
ang tamis na dulot ng iyong tagumpay

sasali sana ako kaya lang........

i remember the first time i got interested in singing, i was on the 3rd grade and its christmas season when our teacher let us prepare individually for a piece of christmas song. i remember choosing rudolph the rednose raindeer as my piece, my mother help me gather the lyrics and i did the practise. later after that, never that i expect i will push through recognizing singing as one of the talents i have.


i was on the 4th grade when i tried to audition for a singing contest, its just a decision on a spur of the moment. the moment i heard they are looking for a boy to represent our school in a singing contest i went to a corner in our classroom and do some practise. confident enough to what i've heard, i personally joined the audition. never that i thought i'll be hailed as the representative having heard the rest of the auditioner sing. and never in my life, way back then, that i would have reached the end of the competition and dubbed to be the division champion for the province of Laguna. it was just a form of a play for me then when i sing on stage, i dont put it as a competition in mind that help me sing all my heart.


that started me recognizing i do have the talent for singing, and that starts me joining amateur competition in and outside school. a passion i had up to today that always pushing me to continue and share to others. growing up introduces me more to a larger environment to show off but resources in general had been limited that makes me lie low.

but that never hinders me, inspite pushes me through to try and try. Star quest, star for a night, and now pinoy idol. so what if i failed then? that does'nt end the show. but thinking through though, going to pinoy idol is a big decision to make. a make or break thing. a lot to prioritize, a lot to consider. yes i have the talent, but if singing is for me, God will show me the way how to use it His way!

sasali sana ako kaya lang........

TRIVIA: Posted above is my audition number for Pinoy Idol. Originally i was registered 694 for the Manila audition but was not able to make it coz of work schedule. The one above is for Clark audition but decided not to continue anymore, for a lot of reason. Tomorrow should be the audition day. But that will be history.

Off for a new start...

this was supposed to be written yesterday, since it was the start of our new schedule at work. it has been 5 months before our project had been fully operational, and during those times we had prepared for something we actually did'nt know what would end up.

after resigning at tele for over 3 years stay, i've decided to move to my new job for a lot of reasons. work issues, family, personal, career and can't think of more to add, numerous reason one decision, and huge future to carry on and plan over.

today, or should i say yesterday starts a new day for our group, we started from 5 people population, became 6 when the actuall training starts, turned to 12 when we are about to be operational and 15 now when we go live. the real show starts and mark today.

She's turning 6!

Time is going too fast, few months ago i had a tiny baby cradling in my arms but now she's getting heavier and heavier everytime i went home to Laguna for the week ends. I just used to look at her and give her some talk but now she do response and sometimes reply to my words. When i carry her before, i used to hold her carefully at the back of her neck supporting her body on my other arm, too fragile. But now i used to carry her just like holding a ball in may arms.

I was just too happy though, even she did'nt see us all weekdays and we only have 2 days together with my wife during weekends, she never forget us, our face(probably), our smell(seems), our voice(definitely). Going home to Laguna just paid every inch of tiredness and aches we have during our works whenever we see her, her big smile that says evrything, her sweet cries that misses us, and her "birit" that is music to our ears. Yes, indeed in her younger days she's showing something she had taken from us, the passion for singing and love for music.

I remember the first time she was sent to us from the nursery i did'nt hear any cry to her, but what was heared over the room was a high pitch of "birit" proof of which was still saved on my cellphone, a sound that will never erased in my memories. To make her sleep i used to hum her with lullaby, and sung to her my favorite song "In your eyes" where she used to stare at me first before closing her eyes making her fall asleep.

About me

I was having a difficulty posting something and describing myself in this blog. Then i remember the comments i have from my friends and thought why not put them all together and that describe entirely me since it comes to them knowing me for a long time or even not that quite long. So if you're wondering where all the description came from check this out!

Balanced and fair-minded; possess the ability to use sound reason and judgement when determined and decisive action is required.
