A Prayer Before Study (St. Thomas Aquinas)

ineffable Creator...
You are proclaimed
the true font of light and wisdom
and the primal origin
raised high beyond all things...

Pour forth a ray of Your brightness
into the darkened places of my mind;
disperse from my soul
the twofold darkness
into which i was born:
sin and ignorance.

You make eloquent the tongues of infants.
Refine my speech
and pur forth upon my lips
the goodness of Your blessing.

Grant to me
keenness of mind,
capacity to remember,
skill in learning,
subtlety to interpret,
and eloquence in speech.

May you
guide the beginning of my work,
direct its progress,
and bring it to completion.
You Who are true God and true Man,
Who live and reign, world without end.

Amen.

-Lord grant me a heart full of openness that i may not be too rigid nor too fluid in the way i relate and work with others...

sa pagsulat

nagsusulat ako ng kanta
mahirap kapag di mo matapos
paminsan-minsan lang naman ito
pero sa palagay ko,
magtatagal pa bago ko tuluyang matapos
mahasa ang kakayahang ito

wala lang
kailangan ko lang isulat dito
para lang may nasasabihan ako

a song that makes me think twice whenever i do something now

Do I Make You Proud – Taylor Hicks

I've never been the one to raise my hand
That was not me, and now that's who I am
Because of you, I am standing tall
My heart is full of endless gratitude
You were the one, the one to guide me through
Now I can see and I believe
It's only just beginning

[CHORUS:]
This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud?
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud?

Everybody needs to rise up
Everybody needs to be loved
To be loved

[CHORUS:]
This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you, do I make you proud?

There ain't no question, just do I make you proud?
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud?
Do I make you proud?

at the cross

have you been to this place?

At the Cross
(Randy Butler, Terry Butler)

I know a place, a wonderful place
Where accused and condemned
Find mercy and grace
Where the wrongs we have done
And the wrongs done to us
Were nailed there with Him
There on the cross

At the cross (at the cross)
He died for our sin
At the cross (at the cross)
He gave us life again

I know a place, a wonderful place
Where accused and condemned
Find mercy and grace
Where the wrongs we have done
And the wrongs done to us
Were nailed there with You
There on the cross

At the cross (at the cross)
You died for our sin
At the cross (at the cross)
You gave us life again

Everlasting Love
The Company

I used to be so unhappy and so lonely
Love would come and never stay
But, that was yesterday

I was scared to admit I cared for someone
'cause my heart would always break
But, things have changed today

Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
We found an everlasting love

I'm glad we'll go through life together
'cause when you are by my side
Tomorrow looks so bright

I'm sure we'll stay in love forever
As for all our fears and doubt
They're all behind us now

Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
This love is everlasting
Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
We found an everlasting love

Sharing my love with you as
We journey through life walking hand in hand
But our lifetime seems short for a love
That will last 'til the end of time

Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
This love is everlasting

Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
Our hearts have found a love
(we found an everlasting love)
We found an everlasting love...

Makita Kang Muli – Sugarfree

[Refrain 1]
Bawat sandali ng aking buhay
Pagmamahal mo ang aking taglay
San man mapadpad ng hangin
Hindi magbabago aking pagtingin

[Bridge]
Pangako natin sa Maykapal
Na tayo lamang sa habang buhay
Maghintay..

[Chorus]
Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pagibig
Maghintay ka lamang ako’y darating
Pagkat sa isang taong mahal mo ng buong puso
Lahat ay gagawin makita kang muli

Makita kang muli, makita kang muli..

[Refrain 2]
Puso’y nagdurusa, nangungulila
Iniisip ka pag nagiisa
Inaalala mga sandali
Nang tayo ay magkapiling
Ikaw ang gabay sa akin tuwina
Ang aking ilaw sa gabing mapanglaw
Tanging ikaw..

[Chorus]
Ipaglalaban ko ang ating pagibig
Maghintay ka lamang ako’y darating
Pagkat sa isang taong mahal mo ng buong puso
Lahat ay gagawin makita kang muli

Makita kang muli, makita kang muli..

Pangarap na Bituin – Sharon Cuneta

Saang sulok ng langit ko matatagpuan
Kapalarang 'di natitikman
Sa pangarap lang namasdan
Isang lingon sa langit at isang ngiting wagas
May talang kikislap, gabay patungo sa tamang landas

*Unti-unting mararating kalangitan at bituin
Unti-unting kinabukasan ko'y magniningning
hawak ngayo'y tibay ng damdamin
Bukas naman sa aking paggising
Kapiling koy's pangarap na bituin

Ilang sulok ng lupa, may kubling nalulumbay?
Mga sanay sa isang kahig, isang tukang pamumuhay
Isang lingon sa langit, nais magbagong-buhay
Sa ating mga palad nakasalalay ang ating bukas

(Repeat *)

Bukas naman sa aking paggising
Kapiling ko'y pangarap na bituin

picture lang with friends...

ang maging tagapaglingkod ng hari...

may hihigit pa bang bagay sa isang kagaya nito...isang pagkakataong magamit mo ang mga kasanayan at pagkatuto para sa iba? saang lugar nga ba ang dapat kalagyan ng mga taong kagaya ko? mga taong ayaw yumaman...hehehe...mga taong ang hangad ay mamatay sa sarili, mamatay upang mabuhay ang iba...saan nga ba ang pinakamabuti at pinak-akmang lugar na dapat naming puntahan?

noong ako ay bata pa, naging pangarap ko na ang pumunta ng africa...doon sa lugar na walang pagkakilala sa Manlilikha...doon sa kung saan ang mga tao ay hindi pa natututong magbasa at magsulat...silang mga nangangailangan ng pagmamahal at pag-aaruga ng mga nakakaalam ng katotohanan...hanggang ngayon, ito pa rin ang pangarap ko...ang makita ang sarili kong nagtuturo sa mga batang kailangan talagang makilala at matuto ng mga dapat matutunan...sapagkat hindi ako nabubuhay para lamang sa sarili ko o para lamang sa aking pamilya...nabubuhay ako para sa aking Manlilikha...para maibigay ang luwalhati at papuri para sa aking Manlilikha...

ito ang hinihingi sa sinumang tinawag upang maging tagapaglingkod...maging bukas at may pagkukusang sumunod kahit saan pa dalhin...kahit ano pang utos..para sa Kanya...
