"Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moon light, some one's thinking of me and loving me tonight...."
this is a very nice line from a beautiful song that I love...
What I also love is looking at the night sky, specially when there are a lot of stars...for in the stars is written stories of my life..
Stories that makes me smile, every time I reminisce about the good times with the people that I love, yet at the same time shed a tear, when I realize that some good things never last...
When I was young I was told, that stars are just balls of fire in the universe...
Maybe they are...
But I'd like to think of them as angels watching over us.
Angels where you can whisper your hopes and dreams to.
Angels that witnessed how you're life was written and is now part of the universe.
Stars give direction and it gives life...like the sun...
I will be going back to the beach soon, and I will lay down and watch the sky full of stars again..
and pray... I believe the Universe listens to all our prayers.
Like the stars, I just choose to be silent from a far and just have my beauty ,goodness and warmth be appreciated by people who are wise.
The Stars may be far, but you cant take them for granted, because we just have limited human understanding..and we never know for sure how important they really are, unless we can think as broadly as its creator.
All we can do for now, is gaze at them... be one with them as our mind unites with the universe.
I will always love the stories that is written in the stars..and that includes the people that i loved..
Now, looking at the stars will be a different experience for you from now on,
because the stars is our lives written in the sky. We look at the same stars, but each of us will have different stories there.
" It helps to think we might be wishing, on the same bright star...somewhere out there."
+Dedicated to an old friend i used to watch stars with.Thank you for the experience.

hmmm. ...the 4th of november,a very special day...coz it's the day one Tami Ballesteros was born to make this world 1 person crazier & more gorgeous...:)
and a lot of thoughts are running in my mind.. and i decided to write them down and share them to you my dear readers...
for me, a birthday is not just a once a year celebration. it should be a celebration everytime we get the chance to open our eyes to a new day...however i dont suggest throwing a birthday party everyday.:)..a simple appreciation to the world and up above is enough.
a birthday to me is also having a new paradigm in life .Having new thoughts , principles and values that makes you a better person is also being reborn spiritually, hence, I call it a birthday...
To me a birthday doesn't mean to be old. One can be young forever if they choose to.
age is just a number. I will celebrate my youth and the child in me for the rest of my life.
Birthdays is a chance for us to reflect on what's been going on with our lives...
a chance to ask have we fucked it so much? a chance to get to know our strengths and weaknesses, most especially, our improvement areas.As long as we are living, there is always a room for improvement.
Emotions mixed up everytime, my birthday is coming up...maybe because...i reminisce on the people, places and experiences that has come and gone... It draws me up to smile and at the same time shed a tear or two.
Birthdays to me is to realize that in this meaningful life, we are given so many chances and privileges to be loved and love, share our blessings and be better each passing moment.
I would have wanted to write a long list of material things I would love to get this coming birthday of mine, but i chose not,I believe I'd rather give than receive for a change.
And maybe this simple gift of me having to be able to share the wisdom I gained , is also a gift I know that would come back one way or another.
And I take this chance to thank YOU all who supported and believed in me.
loved and cared for me...to all of us...
I wish not just a Happy Birthday but Happy Birthdays on our every waking days.
Amen.- tami
And I share this very nice song to reflect on,,by one of my favorite crooner..BAMBOO...with LYRICS, so you could sing a long..:)))

my official birthday song- QUESTIONS
my favorite lines:
Running in circles
In this once in a lifetime
I got this
One last chance
To ditch this borderline life
My place in this world,
last day I draw breath
I'm about to collide
With myself...

Siguro nagtataka kayo bakit ganyan ang title ng blog ko ngayon....
Ganyan yan,kasi nababaliw na ako...at kung ano ano na lang ang gusto kong sabihin...
joke lang...
ang totoo nyan..yan ang mga simpleng pagkain na gustong gusto ko....
hanggang ngayon...dahil malapit sa puso ko ang mga alaala ng mga simple ,mura, pero masasarap na pagkain na yan dito sa pinas....
Banana cue...gustong gusto ko to, kasi madalas dalawang saging na saba na pinrito na nababalutan ng asukal ang nakatusok sa iisang stick. minsan pa nga pag sinuswerte,tatlo..:)..lagi ko naalala ang mga tao na hinahatian ko nung isa sa dalawang pirasong saging na yun..na nagbibigay ng saya...ung pamangkin ko na mahal na mahal ko, si mama,mga kamaganak, yung aso ko na sobra takaw,at mga kaibigan ko at mga ex ko na minahal ko...at sa tuwing kumakain ako muli ng bananacue, lagi ko naalala na dalawa yun saging dun, para matuto kang magbigay ng kung anu mang meron kang biyaya sa buhay, kasi andun ung totoong saya....
Polboron... naranasan mo na ba sumipol habang me pulburon sa bibig...haha..nakakatawa di ba?saka masarap. :)
pag kumakain ako ng pulburon,lagi ko sya minamasdan, muka syang buo pag nakabalot pa, pero pag binuksan mo na,dapat dahan dahan at maingat mo rin syang kakainin, kasi konting hawak lang, nadudurog na...pwedeng matapon, liparin at masayang.... at sa tuwing kumakain ako ng polboron...naalala ko kung gaano kahalaga pahalagahan ang pagtitiwala sa yo ng isang tao....
tulad ng polboron oras na masira mo to, mahirap na ibalik sa dati nang porma, kaya dapat mo ingatan ang tiwala sa yo ng mga nagmamahal sa yo para mapakinabangan at di masayang.
Adobong mani....me pagka adik ata ako sa mani e, kasi tuwing me nagbebenta ng mani, di pedeng di ako bibili...lalo na ung bagong luto, sabi kasi ng titser ko noon pampatalino yun...
baka nga dahil dun kaya ako matalino haha...pero alam mo ba na ang mani rin kahit konti ,nakakabusog agad..totoo yan kahit iresearch mo pa sa google...
naalala ko nung bata ako, para mas makatipid ako sa baon ko, bibili muna ako ng mani, para..mabusog agad ako at di ako bibili ng kung ano anong tsitsirya at laruan na di ko naman talaga kailangan....
Kaya siguro hanggang ngayun matanda na ako, bumibili ako lagi ng adobong mani...para lagi ko iniisip kung ano ang mas mahahalaga sa buhay...
yung limang pisong mani, nagpapaalala sa akin, na di sa maraming maraming pera, ang kailangan ko para makuntento...
tama nga siguro si titser, nakakatalino yung adobong mani...
kasi kada me hawak ako nun, lagi ko iniisip na maraming magagandang bagay sa mundo na kahit hindi mahal ay yun ang mas mahalaga....tulad ng mga tunay na na nagmamahal sa atin, dahil un ang tunay na nagpapabusog ng puso...tulad ng pagkabusog ko sa limang pisong adobong mani...
banana cue, polboron at limang pisong adobong mani. Simple man ito pero masarap....at makatikim man ako ng pinakamamahal na pagkain sa buong mundo,di ko ito ipagpapalit..dahil malapit ito sa puso ko..at sa mga naituro nito sa akin ...at sana sa iyo na rin....
at isang magandang awit para sa magagandang alaala ...:)

How many times have you ever said goodbye to someone?
Im sure you have said it a lot of times...just like me....
but when i ponder about the word GOODBYE, is there really such a thing?
can you just say GOODBYE to someone and say its over?
As I get older I realized, all the people we have met, be it for a short or long period of time,
has become a part of who we are. We learn from them as much as they learn from us...They were the ones who molded the way we think at the present, they are an integral part of who we will become in the future.
Each and everyone of us is connected one way or the other.
Have you ever heard of the BUTTERFLY EFFECT?
Have you ever heard of the BUTTERFLY EFFECT?
it's theoretical example is that a hurricane's formation is contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before.
And I believe in that too....
Just like the words I state here. To some these might just be letters written on a blogsite...
But to someone who understands the wisdom behind the things I write, it will result in an extreme change in his or her life...and the people around him or her.
example...The little good or bad action YOU do here in the Phils in 2011 could affect someone greatly, say, in Africa by 2020...
broaden your horizon and you will understand what I mean...
broaden your horizon and you will understand what I mean...
Now connecting that to goodbyes, I believe even if someone parts from you for any reason at all, be it geographical, or mabe you decided to part ways,,,,,,or maybe if they die..etc....It just strikes me that when you think about it deeply...
Goodbyes never do really exist...
Because ultimately all the people, things, events, experiences will always be a part of our lives...Even as simple as the flap of the butterfly wings,
the sight of God's beautiful nature,
the smile of a child, the care of our mothers, fathers, lovers,...
even people who hurt us...even bad or sad experiences..like a loss or death of a loved one...
they are all as important as each other.
For all of them has imparted wisdom that is now YOU. hence, "THEY" is equivalent to ''YOU"...
and YOU can not say GOODBYE to YOURSELF that is composed of all these treasured experiences you gained from the past to the present...from the smallest to the biggest things...
Just like a to a child going to sleep, don't say GOODBYE,...say GOODNIGHT...for in our hearts...Life and God's BEAUTY will never be OVER because We are all ONE.
and here is a nice favorite song that inspired me to write this blog entry,
Goodnight my friends....

Tag ulan na naman...Ano nararamdaman mo pag umuulan? ....
Iba iba kasi pakiramdam ng tao pag naulan...may iba masaya kasi walang pasok, iba malungkot kasi di makagala o di matutuyo agad ung sinampay, ung iba naman nabubuwisit kasi di matuloy tuloy ang gimik...ako naman gusto ko nakikinig ng love song habang nakadungaw sa bintana para kunyare nagawa ng mtv...haha...korni .
iba iba reaksyon ng tao sa ulan.... may kanyang kanyang dahilan bakit iba iba ang emosyon natin sa ulan...
Sabi nila umiiyak daw ang langit pag naulan....
At sa palagay ko totoo yun...
Dahil kapag tayo ay lumuluha tulad ng ulan, gumagaan at lumilinis ang ating pakiramdam...
Tulad ng ulan, nililinis nya ang hangin at kapaligiran.
Tulad ng ulan, minsan ang luha malakas ang buhos, sa sobrang sakit siguro ng nararamdaman, yan tuloy nagkakagulo gulo ang paligid. apektado di lang ang lumuluha kundi pati ang mga tao sa paligid nya... at di nagiging maayos ang sistema ng lahat sa mga panahon na yun...pero humuhupa rin naman...kasabay ng paghupa ay mga mahahalagang leksyon sa buhay na ating dapat ng matututunan para wag na maulit ang sakit...
Tulad ng ulan, ang luha di napipigilan, kahit gawen mo pa ang sun dance ni sarah geronimo at magmukha kang tanga... haha... Paraan yan ng Diyos, para ipaalam, na di lahat dapat natin kayanin. Paraan nya yan para sabihin sa atin na hindi niya tayo nakakalimutan at nakikita nya ang laman ng ating puso...mabuti man yan o masama.... Dahil sa ulan lumilinis ang hangin para makahinga tayo muli ng maluwag...
muling umuusbong ang mga halaman, nadidiligan ang mga puno, nagkakarun muli ng tubig ang natutuyong ilog o sapa kung saan marami ang nakikinabang....
Parang sa pagluha, dinidiligan muli nito ang tigang at tuyo nating damdamin.Para ipaalala na tao lang tayo at may Diyos na handa tayo tulungan at paalalahanan... dahil sa pagluha nalilinis uli ang ating mga puso at nababawasan ang mga sakit na nararamdaman... Sa Pagulan ng luha nadidiligan ang puso natin para dun uli umusbong ang punla ng pagibig, sa sarili natin at sa ibang tao....
Ang ganda di ba? May natural na paraan ang kalikasan at ang ating emosyon para hugasan at buhayin ang mundo natin sa loob at labas... Maganda ang pag ulan kung lalawakan mo lang ang isip mo...
Kaya ngayun alam nyo na ibig sabihin ni bamboo ng rivermaya na isa sa paborito ko...
"...sinong di mapapasayaw sa ulan..."
tara! sayaw tayo sa ulan....:) -tami ballesteros
Listen to the great song by Rivermaya entitled ULAN here:
Have a great day everyone.:)

there are a lot of pop songs coming up right now...
a lot of them have synthesized sounds that you can not appreciate the natural sounds anymore
I go for simpler songs such as ones where you can still listen to the great melody, emotion and voice of the singer...
sabihin nyo ng jologs ako. but i honestly think simple is still the best.
parang pagkain, d ba mas fresh ang isang food the better, coz di tinatago ang tunay na sarap...
(i love food too by the way...)
I like Agot Isidro's voice...
she reminds me of a mother's gentle hum when she wants to put her children to sleep....
very relaxing...
and for the younger singer's i go for Juris' crystal voice...
and barbie almabiz' cool rhythm
i like this song because it's so filipino...
very natural and relaxing...
ever wondered why i am a song connoisseur?..coz i also love to sing..
it's my way of expressing my feelings just like my art works, graphic arts and photography.....
maybe one of these days id also post a song here that i will sing for all of you....

In this life, we only have our hopes and our dreams to hold on to.
If we don't have it, none will succeed in any endeavor.
That also applies to love...
When you are in love with someone, you have to hold on together to face
the world...wither the storms and the heartbreaks, both believing
that you can overcome them.
Celebrate the sunshine and enjoy the rainbow...
Today is a valentine's day.
Yeah to some, it's just a tradition, but hey just like what Carrie Bradshaw said
“That's the thing about tradition…it sneaks in whether you like it or not.”
a tradition where we celebrate the love we have for each other.
A reason for us to be joyful that someone out there, there is someone who loves us whoever we may be...
Valentines is not just for lovers, you can also celebrate it with your family,
your loving friends and others.
Say I love you to those you love. It's priceless.
How often do we say "I love you"?
I always hear stories;
When a friend or a loved one dies, they'd wish they'd said "I love you" more often. But then it is too late...
Dont wait before it's too late.
I am not scaring you guys. Get real. Everyone will depart this world sooner or later.
That includes you and me.
It's such a joyful feeling
to know that in this short life we have been loved and gave love too...that even if we are gone
we are still alive in people's hearts...
So to cap it all off...
Don't take your LOVED ones for granted.
be appreciative and return it as much as you can for life is short.
Believe in the power of Love, it's the most powerful emotion..
It made you, it can move mountains, it makes the world go round.
and if you can't seem to find it, listen to these 2 kids song to know where it is
because SOMEWHERE OUT THERE OVER THE RAINBOW...there's LOVE.
These angel's voices makes me tear up. :)
HAPPY HEART'S DAY EVERYONE!

Everyday as we wake up, we are presented the challenge of facing life's mysteries...
No one is guaranteed that the life ahead is a perfect one...
However we can always choose how we will react upon it.
As a friend, I suggest you to face the world with confidence and knowledge
that Life is meant to be beautiful...
Life to me is a process of learning from the experiences we get everyday...
this learning is meant for us to be wiser and more loving.
Look at your every day as a gift.
It's true that no one escapes problems. But hey come on, how can you be stronger
if you are not presented a little challenge.
People who are close to me knows how far I've overcome a lot of problems.
I didn't give up, and now I am presented with the gifts that came from my positivity in life.
I am telling this to you my friends, coz I wanna share my strategy
on how I am enjoying life right now.
And when reacting to people, always follow the golden rule.
Do to others what you want to be done unto you...
practice this and see a sudden change in your life
Hope I made sense to you today my dear readers...
:)
keep smiling and the world will smile right back at you.
I'd like to share one of my fave song. It's a lil bit old but it's very nice,
the singer SORAYA is now in heaven because of breast cancer but she left us with her very
beautiful and soothing voice... (someday I want to leave a good legacy too when i go to heaven too)
you can dedicate it to the one you love this Valentine's..
and it's about a Sudden change of things in a good way
Listen so you'd find out....

Thank God for the one who created the internet...
now a lot of voices and opinions are freely expressed and learned.
knowledge is easily accessible now...
Because sabi nga ni late Ernie Baron "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER "
true enough because of this, we are less afraid to face the world and be the best we can be...
on the other hand, knowledge is like any other kind of power.
like beauty,money and social stature, we need to know how to use it wisely...
I know a lot of people who mishandled their knowledge and used it to mislead other people...
like corrupt officials and politicians (gawd i hate them.)
please don't be like that...
because ultimately, "what you give out to the world is what you will get back".
But actually, my topic right now is about how internet entertains me coz i could do multiple stuff while i'm at it (I just got a lil off tracked kasi I realised how much corruption is going on sa Philippine Airports sa pagbabasa ko sa net...but that's a different topic i'd seperately discuss and feel free to share na ren.)
ayun, kc as I was blogging, I wanted to look for music na soothing and start my day right, so i youtubed my fave song "dont say goodbye say goonight" by binocular... its a nice song and has a great message....enjoy superstars!

Sometimes in our lives there is this one person who will accept our imperfections, accept us the way we are and still love us ...therefore making us feel complete which is a SORTA FAIRYTALE i must say. hehe.
And it's something to treasure because it's rare to find...
this music vid of tori amos which i absolutely love reflects that(and i love "sleeps with buterflies" too!), has great concept, very creative... as an artist myself i love to see things that are exceptional, concepts that are not afraid to push boundaries, and liberates our minds..
I absolutely adore the part where the guy laughed when she saw that the girl had two toes!!!haha.what could be worse than her situation.(but ei lucky her,she only needs to buy 1 shoe!)
it is also a nice valentine song this heart month.Enjoy!
