WELCOME TO MY LIFE .

truth and lies were once lovers, they constantly argue because they cant understand each other...so at last, they decided to agree to disagree...and live separate lives... truth grew more beautiful and lies became uglier...truth always wants the best for everyone so he tries to reach out to lies to make him beautiful too...but lies is too proud to let truth in...so lies remained uglier until no one loved him,lies became weaker and weaker...and on his death bed..on his last breath...truth was there to kiss him and gave the breath of life and set him free from the cage he made himself..lies transformed and became truth..and now truth loves truth...and never parted ever again...because what they have now is real love.

Hey my friends,
We are very lucky to be healthy, have nice shelters and ample food to eat...so if we have the chance to donate to those who are devastated by typhoon YOLANDA, let's reach out ok? Coz that's what our ultimate goal in life is- to be beautiful inside and out and sharing this beauty to the world...After all what we do to others is what we do to ourselves. OM Shanti.

I want this played on my funeral. But hey dont you worry I wont die any moment soon, ang masamang damo matagal mamatay...at marami pa akong taong papaligayahin... :)

Anyways I like this song because its artsy and deep just like me. I believe prayer comes in many forms not only kneeling and talking to God, it could be anything , could be art, music, laughter or a teardrop, for a prayer is to be one with the Universe.





I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight, Ooh

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/every_teardrop_is_a_waterfall.html ]
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw, oh, this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright

As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall
Every tear is a waterfall, ah

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag, Wooh

It was a wa-ah-ah-ah-aterfall
A wa-ah-ah-ah-aterfall

Oh, Oh

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Oh, Oh

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall.

In my opinion, if your goal in life is just to be HAPPY, YOU will be bound to so much disappointments , because life is not only made up of happiness, ...there is also sadness, anger, jealousy, fear and so many other emotions, WHICH IS AS IMPORTANT as HAPPINESS. because from there, YOU will learn, and be a fulfilled and wiser person. The goal is not HAPPINESS its BALANCE.
