Day 2: Your least favorite song

I do not like Mariah's "One Sweet Day", I do not like it whatever you say.

I would not listen to it in a car, I could not sing it in a karaoke bar.

I did not even play the youtube video and I change the station if I hear it on the radio.

I wouldn't even hum the tune, but if you like it, I wouldn't think you're a loon.

I do not like Mariah's "One Sweet Day".

I do not like it and I don't care what you say.


P.S.
Seriously though, my childhood friends and I consider this song bad luck. For some strange reason, whenever we would hear this song, something bad would happen to one of us (i.e. car would break down, our parents would ground us, we would fight, etc.). I know it's weird and you guys would probably say it's just coincidence but since then, we avoided this song like the plague.

DAY 1: Your Favorite Song

First off, U2 is an awesome awesome band! I have nothing but huge love and respect for them.

"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" is my ultimate favorite song because it hits very close to home.

Being the eldest in the family, I was taught at an early age to be responsible for my sisters. This meant that I also had to teach myself to be independent and to rely on no one else but myself. I have put up a front so strong that I find it very difficult to cry in front of other people because I am terrified that it will show weakness.

Don't get me wrong, I feel that this did me more good than bad as I grew older. However, there have been a gazillion moments in my life when I wish someone would take time out to ask me if I was okay. I love how people in my life would always say "Youre a strong girl, you'll cope." whenever I'm faced with conundrums. I love that they have so much faith in me and that alone is already enough motivation for me to make actually make it through whatever crap it is I'm dealing with.

Encouragement never hurt anyone but REALLY, honestly-- sometimes, all I need is someone to give me a hard whack on the head and tell me that there's no way they're allowing me to go at it alone.

And that is why I am so inlove with this song. Because in some parallel universe, someone is singing this song for me.

It's all wishful thinking, it really is.

"Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own"

LEZ DO IT!!!

I MAY BE IN DEEP SHIT.

:)

There's a spring in my step.

It has been awhile.

Thank you.

♥

Why it's all worth it.

:(

I have never felt more alone.

Just saying.

BLESSED

God never fails.  He has never failed me.

I am extremely blessed.  Big thanks to my Mom and to my shobe, Sunshine for all their help.

Today, Joaquin was accepted in a pre-school near our house. I was really worried that they wouldn't accept him because of his special needs, but they did!

I'm just absolutely grateful.

Happy weekend, guys!

AN OPEN LETTER TO MYSELF

Dear Self,

I know it's been a tough couple of months.

I know that on most days, you just want to sit in a corner and cry your eyeballs out.  And on some days, you just want to scream.  But you're smart enough to know that that won't solve anything. Besides, wailing and screaming will only give you red, puffy eyes and a sore throat. So NO, we are not resorting to that.

And admit it, tulala ka minsan when you're driving home from work. Tigilan mo na yan, dilikado.

You feel helpless and you hate it.  Because in the past, you always manage to find ways. You always make it through, one way or another.  Except now. (don't lose hope!)

You were never one to self-pity.  But I understand.  You feel that you've done everything right so why are things falling apart?  You've been nothing but responsible, so why does it feel like you're being punished?

Now this is a cliche, pero kaya mo yan.

I know you want to point your finger at someone for all this trouble but forget it. Leave it.

What you need to do now is to FACE IT.

Let's roll with the punches.

DUMBASS
