To… Juan.
I am inspired, happy, and hopeful by the very idea of your possible existence.
Musings
Sometimes, the nicest thing you can do for someone is to leave them alone even when it hurts you.
Marry Me by Train.
Perfection, my God.
Propose to me with this song, please.
—-
Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I’ve had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won’t let them see
But there’s one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I’ll wear out the words I love
And you’re beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Promise me
You’ll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Marry me
Mm-hmm
Today…
Marks the day when Pao and I went to mass for the Immaculate Conception.
And after the mass, I lit up candles near the altar.
And when I turned around, he was standing there with bright eyes.
And he asked me [again], in front of God, to be his girlfriend :)
//We were already a couple but he wanted to ask me again formally. He was praying during the mass that he will always treat me right and respectfully :) //

- On our way out for lunch, my man bid my dad goodbye:
- Papa: O, ingatan mo yan, bunso namin yan. Love namin yan.
- Pao: Mahal ko rin po siya.
- Papa: *Laughs*
- Melted my heart when he told my dad, with all sincerity and seriousness, and looking him in the eye that he loves me awww.
My sister, beau, and I went to Santana Grove in Sucat today. When we went to the Christmas village-styled set-up outside Shopwise, there was a Christmas song playing. My man and I danced right there surrounded by the little booths.
That was my first dance ever. :)
I Dreamed a Dream from the original Les Miserables cast. Sang by Fantine.
One of the best songs ever, both in Broadway and off Broadway. The lyrics are so powerful and they somehow manage to conjure in one’s mind the very setting of the song.
Enjoy listening! :)
I Dreamed a Dream
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Every Saturday, before my beau goes home, we usually slow dance to any song I like. After watching this particular rendition by Rachel and Kurt in Glee, I decided this was perfect for us.
One of the best songs we’ve danced to :)

Where are You Going by Dave Matthews Band
I am no superman,
I have no answers for you,
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure.
But I do know one thing is where you are is where I belong.
I do know where you go is where I want to be. ♥
Matchbox 20 sent goosebumps in my arms with their rendition of Time After Time. One of the best versions of this song. ♥
random #202
I don’t need someone who will sweep me off my feet. I just want someone who kisses my tears when I cry, hugs me when I’m blue, kisses me in front of his friends, rescues me from bad-ass cockroaches, and thinks I’m the best girl in the world.
I don’t need someone who will sweep me off my feet.
I want someone who will catch me when I fall.
It’s a Man, Man, Man’s World version by Diana Argon (Quinn of Glee).
I like this song partly because it’s Diana Argon (And she is my favorite character in Glee!) and because of the awesome lyrics.
This is a man’s world,
This is a man’s world
But it wouldn’t mean nothing,
Nothing
Without a woman or a girl.
Autumn in France.
I would love to go to France. And this one just solidifies my lifelong dream to go there!
If you lived in a place like this, which looks so romantic, would you even think of living anywhere else? Dang.
I initially didn’t like this song then I listened to it once…and I haven’t stopped listening to it yet.
In all honesty, it’s not something I would want to be dedicated to me because all the descriptions are about her physical beauty.
But the beat is great and I like it anyway. :)
