LIKE A PRAYER
Madonna

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Chorus:

When you call my name its like a little prayer
Im down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know Ill take you there

I hear your voice, its like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God I think Im falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

(chorus)

Like a child you whisper softly to me
Youre in control just like a child
Now Im dancing
Its like a dream, no end and no beginning
Youre here with me, its like a dream
Let the choir sing

(chorus)

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, Ill take you there
Its like a dream to me

SAGIP-BATA FEEDING PROGRAM [from Ona]

The program is currently assisting 36 children ages one and a half to six years old. The children are provided morning snacks of milk and biscuits and are fed lunch from Mondays to Fridays. In between meals, they are taught to pray, sing, write, draw and dance. The children are also given vitamins and undergo regular medical check-up at the Payatas Health Center. They are de-wormed every six months.
Most of the children in the program stay on for about three to six months depending on when they are able to achieve normal body weight based on their age.
The Sagip Bata Feeding Program accepts check, cash, milk or rice donations. You may send these to the John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues, 2/F Benigno Mayo Hall, Ateneo de Manila University, Loyola Heights, QC.
Cash donations may also be sent to John J. Carroll, S.J. through Bank of the Philippine Islands Account Number 3085-8066-36.

SEX and the CITY Quote for the day...

"Suddenly, it was like I was sedated from my pain."

Yes, yan ang katwiran ng mga alcoholic na katulad ko. To more buckets o' beer!

SA CLED ROOM

...

Guy friend: May nalaman ako at gusto ko lang malaman mo na... [blahblahblah]
Euns: Bakit mo sinasabi yan sa'kin?
Guy friend: I just felt that you should know. Remember... IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
Euns: Thanks.

...

... I don't like talking about you anymore. It makes me remember why things fell apart. It reminds me of how I could've saved myself but didn't.

I don't really like bumping into you anymore. Sadly, I still consider them as fateful encounters. Unfortunately, I still hate you for making me hate me.

But I don't really hate you. I just hate the me i have become after you.

That's why I don't get to blog that much anymore. It's like this blog is a living memorabilia of how i bitched about you, cried because of you, laughed and well... smiled and then cried and frowned again afterwards. A friend of mine once told me that I have a gift for making other people happy... but just like fortune-tellers, I could not have the same effect on ME. That's said right? Well... I am sad.

You have become my limitation. My secret fence.

I want to go out.

Bright but...

... poor.

During our Clinical Education class yesterday, we were asked to report on how we were gonna get the sympathy of a judge during a direct examination. The situations was that this UP professor was given ten years to live when he was accidentally exposed to radiation during one of his trips to the Nuclear Power Plant. Everybody said that we were supposed to show the judge how his poor kids will never see him around anymore and how it is unfortunate that a life once full of promise is gonna end sooner than expected. But one comment or "plan" was stellar... My girl classmate said,

"We are going to say that he is a loss for the academe. We are going to point out that his death will affect the lives of the BRIGHT.... but POOR students of UP."

Everyone started laughing. It was in good faith really but it was just too funny and awkward to not laugh about. Raffy said he doesnt agree that we're poor... I say, well... at least i'm rich in spirit haha. [This was my excuse to Atty. Calleja when he asked my i havent paid my weekly class fund contribution... I am poor financially but I am rich in spirit.]

I ALMOST DIED

For the nth time, I almost died last night. Carlo, right after the incident, asked me whether it's true that you are almost always gonna see the light when you're experiencing a near death experience and i answered, quite knowingly, "I was too busy thinking of how funny your last words were." To which he wittingly replied, "Not everyone's given the chance to die laughing." Point well-taken.

How did it happen?

Well, we were having our regular friday night dinner [which in fact is not that regular because those who know me in law school probably know that i rarely eat dinner in Rockwell. Why? Kapuresahan. Not dieting, just poor] Anyway, we started to tease Ces by giving her a "ka-love team" for the night. The guy was sitting right across our table, that poor guy who easily became our favorite topic after he caught our attention. I need not say why or how because it's too mean even for a "mean trying to be nice girl" like me. So there, we were religiously constructing a flirting scenario that was most probably going on in that poor guy's mind... Carlo said, "Well, hello there." [with the stalker-ish, creepy-full and awkward husky tone] I laughed my heart out every single time. The poor guy left, or so we thought, and we continued to have our not-so-regular dinner... then the best thing happened. HE CAME BACK. Memories of how funny the situation was a few minutes ago came back too with Carlo coming up with yet another funny remark...

"Well, well, well... I know you've been waiting for me."

He said those words at the same time while i was trying to swallow a spoonful of rice and the little piece of chicken that i ordered for the night. That was when the karma or uhmm, the nightmare began. I felt everything, the way the "butils of rice" came rushing into my trachea [windpipe] and made me choke.

Yeah, I tried to cough my way out of the situation, feeling how helpless I was while gasping for air that seemed to just boycott my now longing lungs... I lasted for a few minutes, with Ces trying desperately to make me feel better by literally pounding on my back. This was happening while I was still laughing. I was really horrified but the thought of those words coming out of that poor guy's mouth was just too funny to not remember... even while i was dying.

After what seemed like forever, I number of sips and well, buckets of tears after, I was ok.

I almost died there. But it was one helluva near death experience.
