I’m Yours

I’m Yours

Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I’m trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my bestest
Nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melodys
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I’m saying is there ain’t no better reason

To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It’s what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family (2nd time: ah, la happy family)
It’s your God-intended right to be loved love love love

I won’t hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It’s your God-intended  right to be loved, I’m sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

No I won’t hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours, I’m yours

Mamang Sorbetero

Mamang Sorbetero

by Celeste Legaspi

Mamang sorbetero,
anong ngalan mo

Tinda mong ice cream,
gustung-gusto ko

Init ng buhay,
pinapawi mo

Sama ng loob,
nalilimutan ko

CHORUS

Mamang sorbetero,
tayo’y sumayaw

Kalembang mong hawak,
muling ikaway

Batang munti,
sa ‘yo’y naghihintay

Bigyang ligaya ngayong tag-araw

Masdan ang ulap sa himpapawid

Korteng sorbetes sa pisngi ng langit

Mata ng dalaga’y nananaginip

Mayro’ng sikretong nasasaisip

Mainit na labi, nagbabagang mata

Sunog na pag-ibig, parang awa mo na

Mamang sorbetero, o,
nasaan ka

Init ng buhay,
pawiin mo na

[Repeat CHORUS]

La la la la la…

La la la la la…

[Repeat CHORUS]

La la la la la…

La la la la la…

[
Repeat while fading]

i scream!

Sorbetes, popularly known as “dirty ice-cream”, is already part of our culture. Old books and literature depicts this two-wheeled colorful ice cream cart pushed by old fellow. His ringing hand bell is music to the ears of most children. Sorbetes has been a big part of my childhood years. This is one of my rewards after pulling grandma’s gray hair. A loose change for running errands for my relative can afford me to buy 2 scoops of ice-cream on top of sweet crunchy “apa”.

Here’s the recipe that will cost you a few hundred pesos to produce a decent home-made ice-cream. Add a few thousand pesos more to produce the quantity for commercial consumption.

Ingredients:

* 1/2 gallon powdered milk
   

* 1-1/2 gallon coconut milk
   

* 1/3 gallon evaporated milk
   

* 2 kilo sugar
   

* 1/3 kilo corn starch

Procedures:

1. Mix all ingredients using mixer (or egg beater) until the consistency is foamy.
   

2. Pour in a stainless steel pan or boiler. Let boil for 15 minutes to kill any microbes or bacteria. Set aside to cool.
   

3. Put desired flavoring (artificial flavors): vanilla, lemon or kalamansi (can be obtain from peels), chocolate, coffee, nuts, cashew and others. You can also use real fruit flavors like mango, ube, macapuno, cheese, etc.
   

4. Put into freezer for half an hour or until half-frozen.
   

5. Remove from freezer and mix again (with big wooden spon or egg beater) until the consistency becomes a thick mass.
   

6. Transfer it in round stainless container. Cover, put it in wooden push cart. Put lots of crushed ice and salt between the container. You can use dry ice as an alternative.
   

7. The ice-cream will get hard in 20 minutes.

Apa (ice-cream cones) : You can buy them from grocery stores in different sizes.

Potential market are schools, parks, birthday and baptismal of friends, relatives and neighbors, public market, and any other place where the foot traffic is high. You can even make home deliveries.

when i say.. i am christian

got this from a friend’s profile.  it’s a nice reminder.

When I say… "I am a Christian" I’m not shouting "I’m clean livin." I’m whispering "I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven." 
When I say…"I am a Christian" I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say… "I am a Christian" I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak and need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say… "I am a Christian" I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say… "I am a Christian" I’m not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say… "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain, I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.
When I say… "I am a Christian" I’m not holier than thou, I’m just a simple sinner who received God’s good grace, somehow.

do i need a reason..

do i need a reason
D’sound

Today when I saw you
I knew it was just like the first time
When you met my eyes I came close
And I felt like the first time

To hold back my fear
and feel you so near
I’ve never been this far before
To hold back my fear
and feel you so near
I’m scared of falling into deep this time

Do I need a reason to tell you why
I’m singing you this song
Do I need a reason to show you that
I know where I belong
Whenever I am weary I lean on
this feeling that I have
I am so much stronger now
Thankful, yes I am

Today I’ll renounce them,
the doubts and the fears I’ve been nursing
I’ll fly like a moth to the flame
and I’ll feel like the first time

To hold back my fear
and let you come near
I’ve never been this far before
To hold back my fear
and let you come near
I’m ‘fraid of loosing and still I go

Chinese in the Philippines

Knowing You, Jesus

Knowing You, Jesus

Knowing You

 

All I once held dear, built my life upon,

All this world reveres and wars to own;

All I once thought gain I have counted loss,

Spent and worthless now compared to this.

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You

There is no greater thing.

You're my all, You're the best,

You're my joy, my righteousness,

And I love You Lord.

Now my heart's desire is to know You more,

To be found in You and know as Yours,

To possess by faith what I could not earn

All surpassing gift of righteousness

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You

There is no greater thing.

You're my all, You're the best,

You're my joy, my righteousness,

And I love You Lord.

Oh to know the power of Your risen life,

And to know You in Your sufferings;

To become like You in Your death, my Lord,

So with You to live and never die.

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You

There is no greater thing.

You're my all, You're the best,

You're my joy, my righteousness,

And I love You Lord.

Shall we dance?

aLBUM: All About Love
aRTIST: Steven Curtis Chapman

I’ve watched the sun rise in your eyes
And I’ve seen the tears fall like the rain
You’ve seen me fight so brave and strong
You’ve held my hand when I’m afraid
We’ve watched the seasons come and go
We’ll see them come and go again
But in winter’s chill or summer’s breeze
One thing will not be changing

Chorus:
We will dance
When the sun is shining in the pouring rain
we’ll spin and we’ll sway
And we will dance
When the gentle breeze becomes a hurricane
The music will play
And I’ll take your hand and hold you close to me
And we will dance

Sometimes it’s hard to hold you tight
Sometimes we feel so far apart
Sometimes we dance as one
And feel the beating of each other’s heart
Some days the dance is slow and sweet
Some days we’re bouncing off the walls
But no matter how this world may turn
Our love will keep us from falling and …

(To Chorus)

The music will play
And I’ll hold you close and I won’t let go
Even when our steps grow weak and slow
Still I’ll take your hand and hold you close to me
And we will dance…
