Things change, you can't help that. People come and go. Fall in love and fall out of love. It's a part of life. Sometimes it will hurt you and other times it will make you laugh. But its how you learn from those changes that make you who you are.

By Chance You And I

I haven't made any nice posts lately coz' I've been so busy and sick this past few weeks and now I'm back! :))

Let me start this post by sharing a little trivia about myself. . .
Since I was a kid I really really love to sing, I am the kind of person that expresses my self through songs, I think I can say that my life is a music which is being played by "yours truly.... Myself" hahaha! And the lyrics that tells the story are the things and events that happen in my life everyday(that is the reason why this blog was titled "My Music and Its Lyrics).

There's always one song...

that fits the situation a little too perfectly.♪ ♫

-let me give some credits to CLAIRY :)) -

Recently I have just finished recording a cover of a song entitled "By Chance You And I" By: J.R.Aquino .

To tell you frankly this was my first cover and I did this one because I was inspired and every time I listen to this song this picture of one special person always flashes into my mind :)) I still don't know why, but I hope eventually I may find the answer to this :)) Honestly I enjoyed doing this and I am planning to do covers of other songs so better watch out for it! hahahah!

So without any further delay . . . Let me present to you . . . Myself as I play and sing my debut cover :)) LOL

(Note to my Readers: I've made little changes on the lyrics on the last part of the song so i'll just post my edited version here. Sit back and enjoy the show! hahahahahahah! LOL)

This song is dedicated to Ms. Emy Lou Claire Amores  Hope you like it!

BY CHANCE YOU AND I

Hi!

Girl you just caught my eye

thought I should give it a try

 get your name & your number

go grab some lunch & eat some cucumbers

WHY? DID I SAY THAT?

I don't know why

but you're smilin' & it's something I like on your face

Yeah! it suits you

girl we connect like we have Bluetooth

I don't know why I'm drawn to you

could you be the other one so we'd equal two?

and this is all based on a lucky chance

that you would rather add then subtract

You & I

could be like Sonny & Cher

Honey & Bears

You & I

could be like Aladdin & Jasmine

lets make it happen

La La La La La La La La

Hey!

How you've been? I know that it's been a while

are you tired cause you've been on my mind

runnin' thousands & thousands of miles

sorry I know that line's outta style

but you

you look so beautiful on this starry night

lovin' the way the moonlight catches your eyes & your smile

I'm captivated,

your beauty is timeless never outdated

I don't know why I'm drawn to you

could you be the other one so we'd equal two?

and this is all based on a lucky chance

that you would rather add then subtract

You & I

could be like Sonny & Cher

Honey & Bears

You & I

could be like Aladdin & Jasmine

lets make it happen

La La La La La La La La

Hey!

Do you already have plans for the day?

Can I ask you out on a date?

I wish that you would say...

YES

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love and you have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes real, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Ready To Love Again

I still don't know where life would take me, what will happen tomorrow or what would fate bring me but I am not scared! I know that I may face many hardships but I will be strong! I would never deny the fact that I still have a thing for you, I still care about you and there are times that I still think about you because deep inside you still have a place in my heart but I already want to end this loneliness because I deserve to be happy so I am now officially setting myself free from the chains of the past that binds me . . . now I am ready to love again!

Seems I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognized my own reflection, no
Scared of love, but scared of life alone
Seems I've been playin' on the safe side baby
Building walls around my heart to save me, oh
But it's time for me to let it go.

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again.

Just when you think that love will never find you
You run away but still it's right behind you, oh
It's just something that we can't control

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again.

So come and find me
I'll be waiting up for you
I'll be holding out for you tonight

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready, ready to love again.

Ready To Love Again

--=ManOfSteel=--

Start Of Something New

You left. And I’m okay with that.

If I ran into you today, I could still say “I love you” with complete sincerity. But, it would no longer come as a plea of desperation from a guy who begged you for forever. It would come from the heart of someone who realizes he’s a better man because of you.

I woke up this morning and realized that I don’t care the way I used to. This is not to be confused with my care for you because I still wish you all the love in the world. I just don’t care to know the details anymore. I don’t care if we never speak again, or the fact that you are already with someone new, or what you think of me. When I released you to go be who you needed to be, I also released myself to do the same.

“You never know what’s best for another person.

Sometimes you don’t even know what’s best for you.

You never know if God will bring someone from the past into your future. You never know…But God does. Just have faith.”

-this is from my previous blogpost (does relationships really end)-

I’m sorry for anything I said that hurt you. I’m sorry for the people who got involved that shouldn’t have. I’m sorry I didn’t end up being your “one” like you hoped in the beginning. But, baby, I will never be sorry for knowing you. I thank God for you. I thank Him that you loved me.When you left, it brought me down to my knees and I learned to stay there– not in despair, but in worship. My heart cracked open and God came in.

He changed me.

I’m turning into the man who never knew how to be with you. A man whose happiness is not based on love from another. I’m happy because of the blessings I have in Christ and no girlfriend or ex-girlfriend can shake that peace. When you stopped loving me, I found out what I’m worth.

I think I’ll always miss you, but not in the way I expected. I miss you the way I miss high school, I can smile warmly at the memory, wishing to return to that time but feeling no pain at all. As I move forward, I’ll keep you in the back of my mind and the front of my heart.

Consider this chapter closed.

Never miss an opportunity

“Never miss an opportunity to make others happy,

even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.”

Now I've finally decided that I'm letting go. If you can do so much better without me by all means go for it. I will not hold anyone back from doing what they need to. I can’t. . .

 "Look at what it means to love someone. 

Love is not jealous or self-seeking. If you really love someone, 

you'll want the best thing for them... 

Even if that means not being with you."

At the end of the day I know what I am doing and what I have done to try to work things out and make people happy. If my efforts of going above and beyond and everything I could in my power to show you how much I love you I care and that I want you happy isn't good enough . . .  Maybe your happiness can be found else where. My efforts were all I had to give and yet it wasn't enough for you.

One sweet day I will make someone just as happy as she make me and she will be satisfied with just me as I will be with her.

All we'd ever need

While looking for some Lady A music videos I found this fan made video and I've had some flashbacks . . . and while reminiscing I've realized something. . .

 "maybe some things aren't meant to last forever".

Boy it's been all this time,

and I can't get you off my mind,

and nobody knows it but me.

I stare at your photograph,

still sleep in the shirt you left,

and nobody knows it but me.

Everyday I wipe my tears away,

so many nights I've prayed for you to say.

I should have been chasing you,

I should have been trying to prove,

that you were all that mattered to me,

I should have said all the things,

that I kept inside of me and maybe,

I could have made you believe,

that what we had was all we'd ever need.

My friends think I'm moving on,

but the truth is I'm not that strong and nobody knows it but me. 

I've kept all the words you said,

in a box underneath my bed,

and nobody knows it but me.

But if you're happy I'll get through somehow,

but the truth is that I've been screaming out.

It was all we'd ever need.

Oh, I thought it was all we'd ever need.

I should have been chasing you,

You should have been trying to prove,

that you were all that mattered to me,

Oh, you should have said all the things,

that I kept inside of me and maybe,

You could have made me believe,

that what we had girl,

Oh, that what we had

What we had

It Was all we'd ever need

From The Bottom Of My Heart

She's always on my mind

From the time I wake up

'Til I close my eyes

She's everywhere I go

She's all I know

Though she's so far away

It just keeps getting stronger every day

And even now she's gone

I'm still holding on

So tell me where do I start

'Cause it's breaking my heart

Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day

Only heaven knows

And maybe our hearts will find their way

Only heaven knows

And all I can do is hope and pray

'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me

That if you really love her

You've gotta set her free

And if she returns in kind

I'll know she's mine

So tell me where do I start

'Cause it's breaking my heart

Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day

Only heaven knows

And maybe our hearts will find their way

Only heaven knows

And all I can do is hope and pray

'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair

'Cause wide awake or dreaming

I know she's never there

And all these time I act so brave

I'm shaking inside

Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back some day

Only heaven knows

And maybe our hearts will find their way

Only heaven knows

And all I can do is hope and pray

'Cause heaven knows

Heaven knows

 

I LOVE YOU. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope and every dream I've ever had,

and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I WILL ALWAYS BE YOURS.

My Fatal Flaw

Even the "Man Of Steel" has a weakness

After everything that has transpired within my 24 years of existence, everyday I still discover something new about life or see things differently the way I've seen them before. For this past few months I've been spending more time on reading books, watching movies, and listening to other people's stories and I always make sure that I wont let a day pass without learning something that is worth sharing to others.

I've made this commitment to my self: "I need to get better everyday"

But before I can get started I still need to figure out the weak spots that I have to focus on. And while on the process of identifying my weaknesses, an image of a very important person in my life suddenly popped out, and I said to myself "She is my greatest weakness,I am the Man Of Steel and she is my Kryptonite". Her eyes, her hair, her smile and everything about her, she has this "signature move" that can make me do anything even if it against my will (of course it is only a metaphor =)), but the more I think about her . . . The idea of "her" being my greatest weakness slowly fades away.

As I reminisce the times that I've spent with her, I finally realized that "she" isn't really my weakness, she is my strength!She is my Lois Lane because she made me felt love like no one else could. She is my "Yellow Sun" the source of my powers, because everyday that I have spent with her was full of great memories and happiness, she brought out the best in me! (Now I feel like singing "Coz' you bring out the best in me, like no one else can do, that's why I'm by your side . . .That's why I LOVE YOU.") She made me fly! I would not perish without her but losing her also means losing my powers, The Man Of Steel will become just a mere human being without super powers.

Realizing these things made me think again . . . "If she's not my greatest weakness, then what is my greatest weakness? my fatal flaw?" Then I finally realized . . . It was me, My greatness weakness is myself . . . the Darkside within me. The negative thoughts and emotions that resides within me. I cannot really remove that darkness but I have to deal with it. I have to focus more on the Light within me coz' it can overpower the Darkside. this time I wont let Darkness succumb my whole being . . . The Light within me might have dimmed because of the recent challenges in life that I have faced, but it never died and it never will.

"It may not be perfect but I believe even in the darkest soul

there's always hope,

people want to believe in something greater,

and it may be easier to hate,

BUT IT IS STRONGER TO LOVE."

As of now I feel like I am a superhero in the making, every challenge that I face in life will add up to my strengths as long as I don't allow it to defeat me."what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
and I know that I can, I really can, and I WILL GET BETTER EVERYDAY!

" There's a shadow inside all of us, 

but that doesn't mean that you need to embrace it. 

YOU decide who you really are"

Clark Kent (Smallville Season10Episode16:Scion) 

 

Everyone wants to be the sun that lights up your life. But I'd rather be your moon,

so I can shine on you during your darkest hour when your sun isn't around.

The Pencil and Eraser . . .

Let me just share this short story that I have received from a friend just a while ago . . .


Pencil: I'm sorry!

Eraser: Sorry for what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me, whenever I made mistakes you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. We were made to work together, I am happy to work with you and stay beside you,even if I know that I am losing a part of myself on the process. and even though one day I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one.

Sorry For The Stupid Things . . .

I know that I have hurt you so many times, and I have given you pain and heartaches,and there are no excuses for it, I don't know how can I make it up to you, all I can do is say "Sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't  do but I do. . ." 

If only I would be granted a single wish from heaven I wouldn't wish to turn back time or to bring back all that was lost, I wouldn't want to undo my mistakes because I would only be a coward if I would wish for that, I want to prove to you that I can be man enough to face the challenges that life has given me. The only thing that I would wish for is "A Second Chance".and I will use that second chance to make up for my past mistakes and be better this time, I want to prove that I have learned my lesson the hard way and I wouldn't be committing the same mistakes again. I cannot promise that everything will be perfect, we might cry and go through hard times together because that is life's reality, we have to go through pain, heartache and many other challenges in this journey and it doesn't matter how many times we fall or fail as long as we can always stand up and fight. Just like what I've said to you before . . . " I cannot promise you heaven, all I can promise is I will get better everyday".

As of now there is nothing more to say, I would just want to ask you to listen to this song . . .

Sometimes we wish for the better

When we have it good as it gets

Sometimes the grass isn't greener

soon as we find out, we forget

Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

Sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you
When I really don't mean it all

Sometimes a man, is gonna be a man
It's not an excuse, it's just how it is
Sometimes the wrong
Don't know that they're wrong
Sometimes the strong, Ain't always so strong

Sometimes a girl, is gonna be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean 

to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things 

I wish I didn't do but I do

Oh so sorry, oh no, oh so sorry

Sometimes I wish I was smarter

Wish I was a bit more like you

Not making stupid decisions made at the last minute

You live to regret when it's through

Well, sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

And sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really didn't mean it all

Sometimes a man, is gonna be a man

It's not an excuse, it's just how it is

Sometimes the wrong, don't know that they're wrong

Sometimes the strong, can't always be strong

Sometimes a girl, is gonna be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't do but I do

Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

Sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really didn't mean it at all, at all 

Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me...

 the problem is that as much as I can't force to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you...

--==Man Of Steel==--  

You're Never Alone!

May the angels protect you, trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty, the glass never empty
And know in your belly, you're never alone

May your tears come from laughing, you find friends worth having
As every year passes, they mean more than gold
May you win and stay humble, smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble, you're never alone

Never alone, never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart when you face the unknown
Wherever you fly this isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you, baby, you're never alone

Well, I have to be honest as much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow

So when hard times have found you and your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you, you're never alone

Never alone, never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart when you face the unknown
Wherever you fly this isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you, baby, you're never alone

May the angels protect you, trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
So when hard times have found you and your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you, you're never alone

Never alone, never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart when you face the unknown
Wherever you fly, this isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you, baby, you're never alone
My love will follow you, stay with you, baby, you're never alone

This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more;

that you will have knowledge and understanding with your love;

that you will see the difference between good and bad and

will choose the good; that you will be pure and without wrong

for the coming of Christ; that you will be filled with the good things

produced in your life by Christ to bring glory and praise to God.

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other"    Matthew 6:24
