welcome to miami (at least the port)

one thing i like with my phone is that it takes clear pictures and the wide screen that makes it easy for me to surf the net and post this entry. made an impromptu trip to miami because of a family emergency. won’t elaborate on that part; i hate dealing with network giants battling it out for the exclusive rights of my family’s life story. in a nutshell i have to go here and deal. just for 2 weeks, a week in miami and a week in san francisco. i have to stop/go there. since i won’t be going to new york, san francisco is my shopping fix as well as my pick me up for this unscheduled and dreaded trip. hopefully dahon and i get to meet in s.f. at for a few hours and bring her to haight st. she loves everything boho and hippie. you wouldn’t get more hippie where janis joplin once lived. i actually bought 2 “smoking pipes” here. hehehe. but before i go on dreaming about that, i’m here in this  god awful place. it keeps on raining and raining, but at time the skies clear up, and rains again. at downtown miami, later to miami beach and then meet mom at the harbor for dinner. can’t wait for friday to see the golden gate covered in fog. darn it, can’t wear tank tops…

see you there

listening to:
believe – cher : Strong Enough

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No you will not be alone

And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid

When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
No I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down

Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Until the end of our days

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No you will not be alone

this song captures the true sentiments of love, of care and passion. i can’t really put into words how i feel hearing this song, comforting me in those trying times that i wanted to just breakout and breakdown. every piano key heals every drop of tear. every breath he takes, he gives. every note he hit, he soothes. and i’ll never be alone.

 Something To Be – Rob Thomas: Now Comes The Night

i can’t think straight. i can’t decide even if my life depended on it. it’s so tied, so twisted that it seems futile to even think about it. the first time i can’t decide, the first time that my ever dependable instinct and no-thinking-just-do attitude failed me.

do you stay in a relationship out of security or you jump on the wagon for something more exciting, more fulfilling but without assurance? how do you choose? how do you know what’s right? do you hold on to a promise or do you sail the boat against the tide?

Beaches – Bette Midler : I Think It’s Going To Rain Today

it has been a laughing matter, a staple answer in beauty pageants, world peace. but yet world peace is not something to joke about. so many lives have been sacrificed, blood spilled all in effort to have a better place to live in. quite ironic actually, with the casualties, damages, the pain and suffering. the war in the middle east, the battle in the mindanao, the endless fights all in the name of peace.

it’s sad but that’s reality. the bright side of it is, reality doesn’t have to be. we are in a position to affect and effect changes. it might sound bull straight up from some inspirational shit head selling positivity, but it’s the truth. i really believe that everyone can do it. our collective small contributions to peace will pave way to having a world were conflict is a thing of the past. if we open our hearts and listen, if we take time to hear each other, there would be no war, no famine, no conflicts…

I see this one day
When all the world will hear us
That someday when all will stand before us
Singing one song together
Everywhere singing
We are gonna love you people of the world
We are gonna make you a better world
We will all respect you people of the world
We are gonna make you a better world
