Jamaica Farewell

Bakit ba hindi agad nagregister sa utak ko ang ibig niyang sabihin nung kantahan niya ako nito?

JAMAICA FAREWELL

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica
I made a stop

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down the way where the nights are gay
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica
I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

An SMS message that struck me

If it's taking all your strength...
If it's killing your heart...
If it's making you bear too much pain...
and if it's making you ignore everything else...
make sure it's worth it,
otherwise...

let it go...

A song for the coming New Year

Clara's Eyes
Side A

Someday
This world will be a better place to stay
Oh, I believe someday
All our hopes and dreams
Will come to pass away

Chorus:
I believe that through the sun that’s been shinin’
All the stars at night will agree
And when the mornin' comes
There's light of hope
Will shine it's way to all our hearts
I believe, for I see it in Clara’s eyes

Someday
We will hear the children's laughter in the air
Oh I believe someday
We will have a taste of heaven
In this world where we stay

Chorus:
I believe that through the sun that’s been shinin’
All the stars at night will agree
And when the mornin' comes
There's light of hope
Will shine its way to all our hearts
I believe, for I see it in Clara’s eyes

Bridge:
If we can just see the hope in a child’s eyes
(Clara’s eyes)
All the hopes and dreams
(Can easily be foreseen
By those who's faith in Him)
If we just believe

Chorus:
I believe that through the sun that’s been shinin’
All the stars at night will agree
And when the mornin' comes
There's light of hope
Will shine its way to all our hearts
I believe, for I see it in Clara’s eyes
(Clara’s eyes)
I believe, for I see it in Clara’s eyes
I believe, for I see it in Clara’s eyes

Ending:
I believe that there is hope
I believe that there is love
I believe His light will shine in every generation
(repeat till fade)

Doy's Christmas Gift

Doy's Christmas gift to me is a commuter bike. Frame is a second hand, old school GT Palomar, single speed! It's light (I think I can carry it while crossing pedestrian overpasses!) and rides quite fast. I think I travel faster here than with my mountain bike. Had no problem climbing Jones Bridge (maybe because I'm so used to the climb. Pero kung clim all the way na parang Maarat on single speed baka di ko pa kaya!). I enjoyed riding it from Balut, Tondo to SM Mall of Asia.

Maybe I should try bike commuting! Hehe
