Happy Friday, amazing people!

Last night, I was too tired to even get online and just before I went to bed, I embarked on a journey that led me to an appreciation for a classic - "Mama Mia" by ABBA. A song that never really resonated with me, until I stumbled upon a unique rendition by Ripley Alexander, an Australian Idol contestant. His acoustic version, infused with a ballad-like quality, opened my eyes (and ears) to the depth of this seemingly upbeat tune.

Alexander's version stripped away the pop veneer, revealing a core of raw emotion and heartbreak. The lyrics, so often lost in the catchy melody, came to the forefront, painting a story of love lost and the pain that accompanies it. It was a revelation, and I found myself captivated by the beauty that lay within the heartache.
Inspired by this newfound perspective, I decided to create my own cover of "Mama Mia". Late into the night, when everyone in the neighborhood was asleep, I poured my heart into the song. The lyrics, once overlooked, echoed in my mind, their meaning amplified in the quiet darkness.

As my voice intertwined with the melody, I felt a connection to the song I had never experienced before. Each word, each note, held a piece of the story - a tale of love, loss, and longing. The song, once a pop anthem, had transformed into a poignant ballad in my mind.
Even now, hours later, the lyrics still reverberate in my thoughts, a haunting reminder last night. "Mama Mia", a song I once dismissed, has now become a cherished piece in my musical repertoire. It's astonishing how a different interpretation can change our perception of a song, revealing the hidden layers beneath the surface. In the end, it's not just about covering a song; it's about connecting with the music, understanding its essence, and expressing it in our own unique way. And that's the beauty of music - it's a universal language that speaks to our hearts, regardless of the genre or era.

LYRICS:

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
And so I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, whoa

Mamma Mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma Mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yeah, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I evеr let you go?
Mamma Mia, now I really know
My, my, I could nevеr let you go

Happy weekend, amazing people!

I have not been feeling well since yesterday, but let's talk about Las Vegas for now. Las Vegas, the city that sparkles brighter than a diamond, is a dream destination for many, but for locals and drivers, like my husband, who drives for Lyft, it's just another day in the office.

Yesterday and today, like most days, the traffic in Vegas was quite a sight! The Strip, with its dazzling lights and bustling crowd, was alive with energy. But let's be real: while it's a visual treat for tourists, it can be a bit of a hassle for our local drivers. My husband sent me a video of him driving around the strip instead of messaging or calling. It's pretty damn busy. He drives Lyft, by the way for those who are not aware.

There were a few events happening around the city today, which added to the usual traffic. Plus, there are some changes afoot on the city's roadways. According to some news reports, Las Vegas is trimming down the number of lanes for cars to make way for buses and bikes. This is a pretty cool move for the environment and public transit, but it does mean navigating through fewer lanes for our car drivers.

Despite the traffic, there's no denying the charm of Las Vegas. The bright lights, the iconic landmarks, and the unique vibe—it's a city like no other. Whether you're a visitor taking in the sights or a local weaving through the busy streets, Vegas never ceases to amaze. For our everyday heroes, dealing with traffic is just part of the daily grind. Hats off to them! Their determination and spirit are what keep the city moving, no matter how congested the roads get.

So, the next time you find yourself in a car, either behind the wheel or in the backseat, take a moment to appreciate the city's beauty amidst the hustle. Because, let's face it, there's no place quite like Las Vegas. There you have it! A little glimpse into the daily traffic hustle in Vegas. Despite the challenges, it's all part of the unique charm of this glittering city. I just thought I'd share.

Happy Friday, amazing people!

So, I've got to tell you about this super cool hike my husband and I went on in La Trinidad, Benguet a few weeks ago. You know, it's one of those experiences that just sticks with you. We were up in the mountains, surrounded by all this greenery—it was already pretty awesome. But then, out of nowhere, these thin clouds started to roll in. They were just hanging out, floating around, doing their cloud thing. It was like they were playing tag with the mountain peaks, and we had front-row seats to the action. And then, as if that wasn't cool enough, this fog started creeping in. It was like watching a slow-motion wave at a rock concert, but instead of people, it was this soft, fluffy fog. It would cover everything one minute, and the next, it would pull back, like it was teasing us.

The whole thing was just... wow! Standing there, watching this cloud-fog dance-off, it was like being in one of those nature documentaries. Except it was real, and it was happening right in front of us. We were just there, in the middle of it all, feeling super lucky. It was one of those moments that made you appreciate the world, you know? It was a reminder that there's so much cool stuff out there, just waiting to be discovered.

So yeah, that's our magical mountain adventure. It was a day filled with clouds, fog, and a whole lot of awe. And you know what? I can't wait to see what else nature has in store for us.

Thank you for watching! Enjoy your day, my friends!

Happy Sunday, y'all amazing people!

I have a couple of friends asking me about my Cresent Moon post and how it looks and feels to be out there. Well, maybe a video would answer that.

By the way, for those who haven't seen my moon post, it is located somewhere in La Trinidad, Benguet, and going up there is a bit challenging since you have to go through a dense mountain trek with slippery, mossy, and muddy parts. It is surrounded by untouched nature, with nature sounds in the background. But all these challenges are worth it once you get to the top, where the moon is located.

You can refer to my post on the link below for more details.

Here's a short video of my husband goofing around chillin like a villain, enjoying his stay on the moon. Enjoy, my friends. Thank you for watching!

Good evening, amazing people!

Okay, this is kind of cheesy, so bear with it lol. So, my husband and I have been married for 12 years now, and we still find joy in the little things. He surprised us the other day and came to visit us all the way from Las Vegas. Yesterday, we decided to take a walk along the beach at noon. The sun was beating down on us, and the sand was hot, but that didn't stop us from taking off our shoes and feeling the sand between our toes. As we walked, we watched the waves crash onto the shore. It was mesmerizing, and we couldn't help but stop and watch for a while.

As we stood there, I couldn't help but think about how those waves were a lot like our marriage. Sometimes things are calm and smooth, and other times things get a little chaotic, but we always come back to each other. The sea breeze was refreshing, and we just enjoyed each other's company, talking about everything and nothing at the same time. It was just a simple moment, but it was perfect because we were together. And that's what our marriage is all about—being together through thick and thin.

Enjoy the waves, my friends!

Good evening, amazing people!

As the month of November rolled in, I found myself standing in front of my mom's house, overlooking the vast expanse of the rice fields. It was the day I visited my mom (All Saints Day here in the Philippines). When the sun was about to set, I was ready to watch the sky with its enchanting colors. It was a scene that was so familiar yet so breathtakingly beautiful. The rice fields, stretching as far as the eye could see, were bathed in a warm, golden glow. You know, it's kind of funny, but sunsets to me never get old. I could stare at them all day and all night.

As the sun began its descent, the fields seemed to shimmer and dance, reflecting the hues of the setting sun. My heart smiled. And again. Over and over. The air was filled with a sense of tranquility, a quiet so profound that it seemed as if time had slowed down. The kaleidoscope of colors in the sky was a sight to behold. The sun was slowly sinking into the horizon, casting long shadows across the fields. The sky was ablaze with hues of orange, pink, and purple, each color blending seamlessly into the next. The sight of the sunset was like a master artist's canvas, a blend of colors so perfect that it left me in awe. The rustling of the wind through the rice stalks and the occasional sounds of the birds in the distance added to the symphony of sounds that accompanied the sunset. I swear, it was absolutely magical.

Watching the sunset over the farmland on that first November evening was a wonderful experience. It was a reminder of the simple pleasures in life, the beauty of nature, and the joy of being home. As the last rays of the sun disappeared into the horizon, I was filled with a sense of peace and contentment, grateful for the opportunity to witness such a stunning spectacle. As I walked back towards mom's house, the afterglow of the sunset still lingering in the sky, I couldn't help but look forward to the next sunset, to the next symphony of colors that would paint the sky, and to the next chance to stand in awe of nature's beauty.

I just thought I'd share with y'all. Thank you for watching, my friends. I hope you enjoy your sunsets too!

Good morning, y'all amazing people and hello to them on the other side.

It's almost noon here, and I just finished doing some laundry. I am resting a bit before I prepare some lunch, and in a few hours, I am going to pick up my daughter from school. So maximizing my time, it's karaoke time! I was playing Spotify a little while ago, and one song caught my attention, and I thought I was going to do a cover.

This is a piece by Lionel Ritchie entitled "HELLO". It's one of those old-time favorites of mine; even when I was little, I thought the melody was so beautiful. There's something uniquely captivating about this song. It's not just a song for me; it's a timeless piece of art that resonates with my soul. The lyrics are beautifully crafted, rich with emotion, and intensely relatable. Each word tells a story of longing, love, and a desperate desire for connection.

Despite being released in the 80s, "Hello" has not lost its charm. Its classic sound and universal theme of love and longing make it as relevant today as it was then.

HELLO (Lyrics):

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say, and you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
I love you
I love you
Is it me you're looking for?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
I love you
I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Is it me, is it me, is it me
Is it me you're looking for?
Is it me, is it me

Happy Hump Day, amazing people!

It's another busy day, and I thought I'd share a short video of me visiting my neighbor's vegetable garden. So, after I dropped off my daughter at school this morning, I wanted to stop at the farmer's market, or we call it the wet market here in the Philippines, but unfortunately, I didn't bring enough cash. When I got back home, I saw my neighbor in their yard watering their vegetables, and I was told that some were ready to harvest, like eggplant and bottle gourd, and I said, "cool, that was timely!" I bought eggplants by the way. My daughter loves deep fried eggplants, so...Here's one of the videos their bottle gourds looking sooo fresh! Enjoy, my friends!

Thank you for watching!

Good afternoon, amazing people!

The other day, I posted photos of my water begonia plant, but I did it in monochrome. Some friends messaged me and asked me how it looked in its real color. I was told that they haven't seen a plant like this before, but I am positive that they already have. It is pretty common here in the Philippines, and I see them everywhere here in my province.

You can check out the link to my post below for your reference.
[https://ecency.com/hive-153349/@bloghound/watermelon-begonia-flowers-in-black-and-white]

So here's a short video I took, and I hope you like it. I also added one of my favorite songs, "Angel Baby" by Troye Sivan, which I did a cover of in my past posts some months ago.

Thank you for watching. Have a colorful day, my friends!

Good evening, amazing people!

I have posted a couple of landscape photos of Utah and Arizona, like the Bryce Canyon, Dead Horse Point, Salt Lake City Mountains, Snowbird Resort, River Rapids, and others, but I have not posted videos (I guess only one) yet. So here's one from Moab, Utah (l.ink below)

https://ecency.com/hive-153349/@bloghound/dead-horse-point-moab-utah

As born and raised in the tropics, this is paradise to me! Appreciate the beauty of this brown terrain and canyons with sandstone rock formation and amazing hiking trails. It's perfect if you have great background music, so I added one of the most played love songs on social media these days: "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez.

Enjoy, my friends. Thank you for watching! Bed time for me.

A blissful Sunday, y'all amazing people!

A day of rest is what all of us really need. Peace. quiet, but not quite here. The rain has been pouring since early afternoon. But yes, no drama. No unnecessary adulting. No unwelcome peopling, lol. I didn't take a nap though, but at least I didn't do heavy and challenging chores today, and I am going to take everything easy. So, what about karaoke in the rain? Here's a new cover from one of the Philippine classics, OPM (Original Pilipino Music), that has been most popular in the 90's, entitled "Sa Aking Puso" by Ariel Rivera. I am not sure if I already made a cover of this song in the past, but here it is anyway.... I am going to do an acoustic/unplugged with no mic today.

Lyrics

Uulit-ulitin ko sa 'yo
Ang nadarama ng aking puso
Ang damdamin ko'y para lang sa 'yo
Kahit kailanma'y hindi magbabago
Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw
Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw
Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba
Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa
'Di ko nais na mawalay ka
Kahit sandali sa aking piling
Kahit buksan pa ang dibdib ko
Matatagpua'y larawan mo
Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw
Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw
Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba
Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa
Kahit buksan pa ang dibdib ko
Matatagpua'y larawan mo
Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw
Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw
Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba
Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa, nag-iisa
Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw
Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw
Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba
Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa
Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa

Happy Hump Day, amazing people!

Right after I dropped my daughter off at school, I immediately did some laundry and cooked lunch. And if I get tired from doing chores, I can't think straight. So you know the drill. It's karaoke time! I thought I would do a Miley Cyrus song this time because, why not? I just heard this online a little while ago and am not really familiar with the song yet, so bear with me again. It's also hard to sing out loud when you are just a few steps away from your neighbor hammering just outside your living room window lol. And oh, my audio is still husky, so... Anyway, the song is entitled "Angels Like You".

LYRICS

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Flowers in hand, waiting for me

Every word in poetry

Won't call me by name, only "baby"

The more that you give, the less that I need

Everyone says I look happy

When it feels right

I know that you're wrong for me

Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave

I brought you down to your knees

'Cause they say that misery loves company

It's not your fault I ruin everything

And it's not your fault I can't be what you need

Baby, angels like you can't fly down hell with me

I'm everything they said I would be

La-la-la

I'm everything they said I would be

I'll put you down slow, love you goodbye

Before you let go, just one more time

Take off your clothes, pretend that it's fine

A little more hurt won't kill you

Tonight, mother says, "You don't look happy"

Close your eyes

I know that you're wrong for me

Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave

I brought you down to your knees

'Cause they say that misery loves company

It's not your fault I ruin everything

And it's not your fault I can't be what you need

Baby, angels like you can't fly down hell with me

I'm everything they said I would be

I know that you're wrong for me

Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave

I brought you down to your knees

'Cause they say that misery loves company

It's not your fault I ruin everything (everything)

And it's not your fault I can't be what you need

Baby, angels like you can't fly down hell with me, oh

Angels like you can't fly down hell with me

A pleasant Monday, y'all amazing people!

This weekend was not so good for me and my daughter. We have been sick with the flu and mostly in bed all day, and I have not been doing great. This rain is giving us so much anxiety, and I am over it. I am just stopping by to say hello.

Two days ago, I recorded a song cover by David Slater entitled "Exchange of Hearts". It is one of those old classic love songs that I love listening to. I don't know why, but I love listening to and singing heartbreaking songs. Anyway, here it is. The audio is not that clear, so just bear with it.

Lyrics

One-sided love broke the see-saw down

I got to get rough when I hear the grudge

And you went your way and I went wild

And girl, you'd understand if your heart was mine

If we had an exchange of hearts

Then you'd know why I fell apart

You'd feel the pain when the mem'ries start

If we had an exchange of hearts

I'd never wished a lonely heart on you

It's not your fault, I chose to play the fool

One day may come when you'll be in my shoes

Then your heart will break and you'll feel just like I do

If we had an exchange of hearts

Then you'd know why I fell apart

You'd feel the pain when the mem'ries start

If we had an exchange of hearts

When time turns the tables and soon I'll be able

To find a new romance

And then you'll remember my love warm and tender

Too late for a second chance

If we had an exchange of hearts

Then you'd know why I fell apart

You'd feel the pain when the mem'ries start

If we had an exchange of hearts

If we had an exchange of hearts

A chilly Thursday to you all, amazing people!

The typhoon left, but the rain got stronger. I just got back home from dropping off my daughter at school, and I am literally soaking wet. Our front yard is a little flooded, and I can't do anything about it. I had no chance to walk around and take some photos, so...

Meanwhile, my husband is out driving around the strip, and he sent me a video of the newest tourist attraction in Vegas as he passed by. I posted one about two weeks ago, and if you haven't seen that, here is another one. This is the MSG Sphere, with the largest LED lights in the world.

Check out the video to appreciate it. The full moon just landed on earth! Enjoy!

(Video and photo credit goes to my husband, who took them.)

Stay safe, my friends. Drive safe when you're out!

Good afternoon, amazing people.

Apparently, it's Thursday. I've been so crazy busy that I had literally no idea what day it was. This is not a new thing, yet it still surprises me every time. Time flies when you are busy—like busier than busy. This week was the start of my daughter's school year, and my to-do list was getting longer, and I love that, but sometimes, what our mind is saying is against our body's capabilities. We can only do so much in a day. Are you all making it through the week, okay? Tell me something good.

Anyway, before getting back to my routine, I've got to take some time to chill, and of course, my favorite pastime is karaoke. I just stumbled across this song online, and it's one of those that never gets old. Please bear with me, this was just an abrupt recording. Here's Peter Cetera's "AFTER ALL".

*Lyrics:

Well, here we are again

I guess it must be fate

We've tried it on our own

But deep inside we've known

We'd be back to set things straight

I still remember when your kiss was so brand new

Every memory repeats

Every step I take retreats

Every journey always brings me back to you

After all the stops and starts

We keep comin' back to these two hearts

Two angels who've been rescued from the fall

After all that we've been through

It all comes down to me and you

I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all

When love is truly right

(This time it's truly right)

It lives from year to year

It changes as it goes

Oh, and on the way it grows

But it never disappears

After all the stops and starts

We keep comin' back to these two hearts

Two angels who've been rescued from the fall

After all that we've been through

It all comes down to me and you

I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all

Always just beyond my touch

You know I needed you so much

After all, what else is livin' for?

After all the stops and starts

We keep comin' back to these two hearts

Two angels who've been rescued from the fall

After all that we've been through

It all comes down to me and you

I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all

Happy Hump Day, amazing people!

As most of my friends know, I am a selenophile. My husband likewise knows I am moon-obsessed. Selenophine is a person who loves the moon. Honestly, I could sit all night staring at the moon, whether it is a crescent, half, or full moon. I am just super mesmerized and curious what it would be like to live on it.

A few days ago, my husband sent me photos and videos of the moon landing on Earth. I am talking about the MGM Sphere in Las Vegas. A month ago, Las Vegas lit the world's largest LED sphere lights in the heart of Sin City. It is the newest tourist attraction along the Vegas strip, and I just thought it was freaking cool. My husband drives Lyft after work, and he happened to witness and take this video and photo while picking up a passenger. I thought I'd share it withyou all too.

Good afternoon, amazing people.

It has been raining here for the past few days, and I was surprised when I woke up today that the sun was showing up. The super typhoon left the Philippines, but I heard another one is coming this weekend. So far, I am not seeing that yet.

Since the day became brighter today, I am just going to do a song cover. This one is an old classic song by Natalie Cole entitled "Starting Over Again". I have always loved Natalie Cole's music since I was young, and here it is. Music, maestro!

LYRICS

And when I hold you in my arms I promise you

You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new

This time I'll love you even better than I ever did before

And you'll be in my heart forevermore

We were just too young to know

We fell in love and let it go

So easy to say the words goodbye

So hard to let the feeling die

I know how much I need you now

The time is turning back somehow

As soon as our hearts and souls unite

I know for sure we'll get the feeling right

And now we're starting over again

It's not the easiest thing to do

I'm feeling inside again

'Cause every time I look at you

I know we're starting over again

This time we'll love all the pain away

Welcome home, my lover and friend

We are starting over, over again

If we never lived alone

Then we might have never known

All of the time we spent apart

All we did was break each other's hearts

And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you

You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new

This time I'll love you even better than I ever did before

And you'll be in my heart forevermore

And now we're starting over again

It's not the easiest thing to do

I'm feeling inside again

'Cause every time I look at you

I know we're starting over again

This time we'll love all the pain away

Welcome home, my lover and friend

We are starting over, over again

And now we're starting over again

This time we'll chase all the rain away

Welcome home, my lover and friend

We are starting over, over again

We are starting over, over again

Good afternoon, amazing people!

Two days ago (Tuesday afternoon), a super typhoon named Egay with the international name Doksuri landed in the Philippines and hit the northern part, which includes where I live. In the Philippines, when you say super typhoon, it's a cyclone with a most extreme breeze speed surpassing 185 kph, or in excess of 100 bunches. That is serious areas of strength and really could blow vehicles, houses, buildings, and could kill individuals instantly. When I felt the breeze coming towards us, I started panicking. I realize I shouldn't be, yet typhoons give me uneasiness and too much anxiety. I have encountered a ton of horrendous typhoons since I was young, and it's tramatizing.

Here in our area, the river flow and the roads are flooded. The wind was whisling like crazy, and I heard my neighbor's rooftop fly away the first hour the typhoon landed. I was stressed our rooftop would be blown away as well, but thank God, it didn't. Despite the fact that we were flodded a little inside our home, our overhangs were obliterated, a couple of trees fell, and the power went off for a day, I'm as yet thankful that my daughter and I are safe. I count myself favored each day I awaken and have one more opportunity at getting life right. That taught me to pay more attention to the little things and take nothing for granted.

Today, the typhoon is leaving the Philippines, however the downpour still continues. I'm okay with that, as long as the wind calms down a little. I believe it's getting there. To every one of my friends who are affected by typhoon Egay and everybody out there, please stay safe!

Here's a short video of the typhoon I took as soon as it landed the other day.

Happy Hump Day, y'all amazing people!

This week and the past week, I have been watching my favorite survival series, "Naked And Afraid," and I have been following them since they started their first season a little less than a decade ago. The last one that just ended last Sunday was "Last One Standing" Season 1. For those who have subscribed to the Discovery Channel, you can watch them every Sunday. You can search on their YouTube channel or Facebook Page if you have not seen any of their videos yet.

So "The Last One Standing" is a group of 12 naked survivalists in an African jungle as they compete in a multiphase challenge and have their skills tested to win $100,000. They have to survive in the wild for 45 days with no clothing, build shelter, and find food from everything they see in the jungle.

Anyway, I only mentioned that because one of their challenges was to cross a 2-mile (if I am not mistaken) raging river full of rocks for them to get into the next challenge. It reminds me of Snowbird Resort in Utah, which I posted in my previous posts. Check out the video for reference.

Good morning, amazing people!

I just have to say thank you to all my friends who wished me a happy birthday yesterday. Thank you for the humbling and heartwarming birthday messages and greetings. So much love, my friends. I hope to continue my Hive journey with all of you.

Before going to sleep, here's a song that I've just kept singing for the past few days. The message has nothing to do with me or anyone I know; I just love the melody. So here it is: "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars.

Lyrics

If you ever leave me, baby

Leave some morphine at my door

'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication

To realize what we used to have

We don't have it anymore

There's no religion that could save me

No matter how long my knees are on the floor (oh)

So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'

To keep you by my side

To keep you from walkin' out the door

'Cause there'll be no sunlight

If I lose you, baby

There'll be no clear skies

If I lose you, baby

Just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same if you walk away

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

I'll never be your mother's favorite

Uh, your daddy can't even look me in the eye

Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing

Sayin', "There goes my little girl

Walkin' with that troublesome guy"

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand

Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds

Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

And pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding

If that'll make you mine

'Cause there'll be no sunlight

If I lose you, baby

There'll be no clear skies

If I lose you, baby

Just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same if you walk away

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)

Don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)

I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding

If that'll make it right

'Cause there'll be no sunlight

If I lose you, baby

And there'll be no clear skies

If I lose you, baby

And just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same if you walk away

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Hello, beautiful people!

I am saddened by the news I read on the internet this morning that one of my favorite Asian singers, Coco Lee, passed away due to depression. As a person who was diagnosed with depression myself, this is truly heartbreaking. The world's changing a lot these days. It affects all of us to some degree. Yet here we are, waking up and taking on each and every day. Usually, we never take a moment to appreciate that fact. Everyone is tired, overwhelmed, and yet still putting one foot in front of the other and taking care of what they need to. I am sending everyone virtual hugs, especially those who need them most. Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Here's a my favorite Coco Lee's song and also my tribute to her entitled "Before I Fall In Love". I have not sung this in over a decade. This literally made my eyes water. Just bear with my voice.

Lyrics:

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Hmm-mm

My heart says we've got something real

Can I trust the way I feel?

'Cause my heart's been fooled before

Am I just seeing what I want to see?

Or is it true? Could you really be

Someone to have and hold with all my heart and soul?

I need to know before I fall in love

Someone who'll stay around, through all my ups and downs

Please tell me now before I fall in love, ooh-ooh

I'm at the point of no return, so afraid of getting burned

But I want to take a chance

Oh, please give me a reason to believe

Say you're the one that you'll always be

Someone to have and hold with all my heart and soul

I need to know before I fall in love

Someone who'll stay around, through all my ups and downs

Please tell me now before I fall in love

It's been so hard for me to give my heart away

But I would give my everything, just to hear you say

Someone to have and hold with all my heart and soul

I need to know before I fall in love

Someone who'll stay around, through all my ups and downs

Please tell me now before I fall in love, ooh

Before I fall in love

Goodnight everyone!

Happy Friday. amazing people!

I am having terrible back pain and headaches again today after I ran errands this afternoon. I often get sick every time I walk in the rain. I was supposed to write something, but my mind couldn't think straight. So here's another song cover: an old but gold OPM hit from the 90s entitled "Pagdating Ng Panahon" by Ice Segurra. It was actually one of my favorite songs back when I was in high school.

Lyrics:

Alam kong hindi mo pansin

Narito lang ako

Naghihintay na mahalin

Umaasa kahit 'di man ngayon

Mapapansin mo rin

Mapapansin mo rin

Alam kong 'di mo makita

Narito lang ako

Hinihintay lagi kita

Umaasa kahit 'di man ngayon

Hahanapin mo rin

Hahanapin din

Pagdating ng panahon, baka ikaw rin at ako

Baka tibok ng puso ko'y maging tibok ng puso mo

Sana nga'y mangyari 'yon, kahit 'di pa lang ngayon

Sana ay mahalin mo rin pagdating ng panahon

Alam kong hindi mo alam

Narito lang ako

Maghihintay kahit kailan

Nangangarap kahit 'di man ngayon

Mamahalin mo rin

Mamahalin mo rin

Pagdating ng panahon, baka ikaw rin at ako

Baka tibok ng puso ko'y maging tibok ng puso mo

Sana nga'y mangyari 'yon, kahit 'di pa lang ngayon

Sana ay mahalin mo rin pagdating ng panahon

'Di pa siguro bukas

'Di pa rin ngayon

Malay mo balang araw

Dumating din iyon

Pagdating ng panahon, baka ikaw rin at ako

Baka tibok ng puso ko'y maging tibok ng puso mo

Sana nga'y mangyari 'yon, kahit 'di pa lang ngayon

Sana ay mahalin mo rin pagdating ng panahon

Hello there, y'all amazing people!

I was telling my husband a few days ago that our daughter @naniplayergamer wanted to travel after her recognition day, which would be on Monday. She wanted to go to the mountains, but it has been raining here for the past few weeks and started pouring again today. So I guess, that is negative unless the weather cooperates. If not, we're just going to go around the town and enjoy what we've got here.

This morning, though, my husband messaged me that he wanted to go on a road trip to Utah. By the way, he is in Las Vegas, is taking a 3-day off, and wanted to chill a little bit. He sent me this video of him driving to Bryce Canyon National Park—a very cool, out-of-this-world beauty. I just hope he won't get bored walking around the rocky mountains. I will probably post a few pictures on my next blog.

That's all for tonight, and I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

I have been dreaming about angels lately, and just to let you all know, I love angels and I do believe in them. I do believe that they are just around the corner, watching over us. I am on a writer's block today, and when that happens, it's karaoke time. Here's another bedtime song cover entitled " ANGELS BROUGHT ME HERE" by Guy Sebastian. Leaving you this song before going to bed.

Lyrics:

It's been a long and winding journey

But I'm finally here tonight

Picking up the pieces

And walking back into the light

Into the sunset of your glory

Where my heart and future lies

There's nothing like that feeling

When I look into your eyes

My dreams came true

When I found you

I found you

My miracle

If you could see what I see

That you're the answer to my prayers

And if you could feel the tenderness I feel

You would know

It would be clear

That angels brought me here

Standing here before you

Feels like I've been born again

Every breath is your love

Every heartbeat speaks your name

My dreams came true

Right here in front of you

My miracle

If you could see what I see

You're the answer to my prayers

And if you could feel the tenderness I feel

You would know

It would be clear

That angels brought me here

Brought me here to be with you

I'll be forever grateful

Forever thankful

My dreams came true

When I found you

My miracle

If you could see what I see

You're the answer to my prayer

If you could feel the tenderness I feel

You would know

It would be clear

That angels brought me here

If you could see what I see

You're the answer to my prayer (Yes they brought me here)

And if you could feel the tenderness I feel

You would know

It would be clear

That angels brought me here

Goodnight, angels!

Good morning, amazing people or good evening, depending on where you are!

I am feeling a little better now but still have a clogged nose and cough and very unforfortable to be typing in front of the computer. So I am going to make this short and simple, and let's just sing the crap out of this flu.

I heard this song earlier while watching TV, and it was over a decade ago the last time I heard it on the radio. It is a Tagalog song by Ariel Rivera entitled "SA AKING PUSO," which is very soothing to the ears. This was a huge hit in the 1990s.

Here we go.

Lyrics:

Uulit-ulitin ko sa 'yo

Ang nadarama ng aking puso

Ang damdamin ko'y para lang sa 'yo

Kahit kailanma'y hindi magbabago

Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw

Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw

Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba

Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa

'Di ko nais na mawalay ka

Kahit sandali sa aking piling

Kahit buksan pa ang dibdib ko

Matatagpua'y larawan mo

Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw

Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw

Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba

Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa

Kahit buksan pa ang dibdib ko

Matatagpua'y larawan mo

Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw

Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw

Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba

Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa, nag-iisa

Ikaw ang laging hanap-hanap sa gabi't araw

Ikaw ang nais kong sa tuwina ay natatanaw

Ikaw ang buhay at pag-ibig, wala na ngang iba

Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa

Sa 'king puso'y tunay kang nag-iisa

Sorry, I broke my headset, so no mic for today. That's it and wishing everyone a great day! I'm ready for bed.

Happy new week, amazing people!

So I just downloaded the 3Speak app, and I am curious about this ThreeShorts video posting.

I posted a few articles a few months ago about this flower farm, but I don't think I've posted a video of it. Maybe I did; I don't remember. But anyway, this is a pink larkspur flower field at Northern Blossom Flower Farm, located in the mountains of Atok, Benguet, here in the Philippines. Walking to the farm of flowers made me feel like I was in other countries where flowers bloom all over. It was truly a great experience being on top of the mountains of flowers. Here's a short clip. Watch to appreciate.

Hello, y'all amazing people!

I began nodding off an hour earlier, around 12 midnight, however for reasons unknown I was unable to sleep, and I felt like an angel was whispering into my ear. I remember my ultimate favorite song, "ANGEL," by Sarah McLachlan, and I figured I would check it out and give it a song cover try. Please bear with me as it is past 1 a.m. and I have not attempted to record this ever. This will be my cradlesong tune for this tonight.

Every single time I listen to this song, my eyes water.

Lyrics

Spend all your time waiting

For that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

There's always some reason

To feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

Oh a beautiful release

Memories seep from my veins

Let me be empty

Oh and weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line

And everywhere you turn

There's vultures and thieves at your back

And the storm keeps on twisting

You keep on building the lies

That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference

Escaping one last time

It's easier to believe

In this sweet madness

Oh this glorious sadness

That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

Good evening, y'all amazing people!

Ahhh, Saturday night! If I had to pick my favorite day of the week, it would be Saturday. Saturdays are for chillin', relaxing, giving yourself a break, and allowing the world to spin around on its own for a while so you can catch your breath. Most of the time, I can handle anything life throws at me. That doesn't mean I don't get tired. I am also very human and need some karaoke time at least once or twice a week. So here's another abrupt song cover by Bryan Adams entited "HEAVEN".

Lyrics:

Oh thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah nothin' can change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Yeah love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah I'll be standin' there by you, oh!
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, heaven
Whoa, oh, oh!
You're all that I want
You're all that I need

Good evening, amazing people!

I took a nap this afternoon, and just a few minutes before I was falling asleep, I heard something fall on the garage roof. It was loud, and I had to look out my window. Three mango fruits had fallen from our mango tree due to strong winds. It was Typhon Betty; it has arrived which was supposed to land two days ago. I am not really a fan of typhoons, and to calm my freaking self, I had to do some karaoke instead of going back to my afternoon nap. Music calms my soul.

So this is an old classic Filipino song, and it was a huge hit during the 90's entitled "Mahal Pa Rin Kita" by" Rockstar. I actually love this song, and if I am not mistaken, I was in high school when this was on the top chart. I heard it again after so many years, and it flashed me back to my teenage years.

Lyrics:

Di maamin ng damdamin
Na ngayo'y wala ka na sa aking piling
Araw-araw ang dalangin
Ay mayakap kang muli at maangkin

Ngunit pa'no nga ba ang pag-ibig mo magbabalik?
Batid ko na nasaktan kita ng labis
At sinabi ko sa'yo na kaya kong limutin ka
Bakit ngayo'y hinahanap kita

Ikaw pa rin ang nais ko
Damang-dama ng puso ko
Mahirap na dayain ang isipa't damdamin
Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ko
Mapapatawad ba ako?
Muli't muling sasambitin
Sinisigaw ng damdamin
Mahal pa rin kita, oh, giliw ko

Alaala ang kasama
Mga sandaling dati anong saya
Pinipilit na limutin
Bakit 'di maamin na wala ka na?

Ngunit pa'no nga ba ang pag-ibig mo magbabalik?
Batid ko na nasaktan kita ng labis
At sinabi ko sa'yo na kaya kong limutin ka
Bakit ngayo'y hinahanap kita

Ikaw pa rin ang nais ko
Damang-dama ng puso ko
Mahirap na dayain ang isipa't damdamin
Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ko
Mapapatawad ba ako?
Muli't muling sasambitin
Sinisigaw ng damdamin
Mahal pa rin kita, oh, giliw ko

Ikaw pa rin ang nais ko
Damang-dama ng puso ko
Mahirap na dayain ang isipa't damdamin
Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ko
Mapapatawad ba ako?
Muli't muling sasambitin
Sinisigaw ng damdamin
Mahal pa rin kita, oh, giliw ko

Good evening, amazing people!

Today was a long day, I'm kind of tired and can't really think straight. It's almost midnight, so I'm just gonna chill before bed. I heard this song again on Facebook and for soe strange reason,kinda telling me to do a cover. It is also my first time to sing this song, so please bear with me. This is entitles "Angel Baby" by Tyore Sivan

Lyrics:

I need a lover to keep me sane
Pull me from hell, bring me back again
Play me the classics
Something romantic
Give him my all when I don't even have it
I always dreamed of a solemn face
Someone who feels like a holiday
But now I'm in pieces
Barely believing
Starting to think that I've lost all feeling
You came out the blue on a rainy night
No lie
I'll tell you how I almost died
While you're bringing me back to life
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word "forever"
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
You're my angel
Angel baby, angel
You're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby
I fall in love with the little things
Counting the tattoos on your skin
Tell me a secret
And baby, I'll keep it
And maybe we could play house for the weekend
You came out the blue on a rainy night
No lie
I'll tell you how I almost died
While you're bringing me back to life
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word "forever"
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
You're my angel
Angel baby, angel
You're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby
All the sick and twisted nights that I've been waiting for ya
They were worth it all along, yeah
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word "forever" (on the word "forever")
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
You're my angel
Angel baby, angel
You're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby
Angel
Angel baby, angel (you're my angel, baby)
You're my angel, baby (you're my angel, baby)
Baby, you're my angel
Angel baby

Happy Friday, amazing people!

This week seems like all we do is go against the flow, which, to be honest, is exhausting. It's okay to just float and do what needs to be done, and take a breather from time to time.

I'm just going to relax and enjoy the first day of the weekend because it's Friday. That's my weekend goal. I am just right here taking deep breath and letting go of myshoulders' tension, letting go of the things I really can't control and just be.

Sharing a piece of where I live. Enjoy the sound of the waves and the ocean's breeze from afar. Goodnight everyone!

Happy New Week, amazing people!

Today is Labor Day and also our town fiesta here in San Juan, La Union. And earlier today, around 10 in the morning, there was a street dancing parade where every barangay had to showcase their own piece.

Our town's main sport is surfing, since we are located just east of the West Philippine Sea making it making it a popular beach destination among local travelers looking for a quick weekend getaway especially those from the urban areas like Metro Manila. Most of the participating barangays have a surfing board accessory in their dance presentation.

A fiesta is a celebration of gratitude for a specific town or an area including the people's blessings. They are dependably goals for social occasions and festivities, and Filipinos love celebrations like this.

You can check out my video posted above.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Hello, y'all amazing people!

I just felt like chilling tonight before bed, and thought I'd do some karaoke. I heard a song from Air Supply online a little while ago entitled "Having You Near Me", and ended up singing in front of my laptop. I am sure everyone knows about Air Supply. Their music never dies. So here we go.

Lyrics:

I came to you and never asked too much
Wondering what you would say
Hoping you'd understand
It's not a role I usually play
Don't speak too much of what's been going on
The past is over and gone
Give me your troubled mind
You know it's used
I can do so much for you
I want you
Having you near me, holding you near me
I want you to stay and never go away
It's so right
Having you near me, holding you near me
I'll love you tonight, it feels so right
Feels so right
You're brave to say that you get lost in love
But you opened your heart to me
Underneath all you feel you know
How deep our love could be
Tonight we'll touch until it's time to go
Then I'm leaving it up to you
Even a fool would know that I'm not through
I can do so much for you
I want you
Having you near me, holding you near me
I want you to stay and never go away
It's so right
Having you near me, holding you near me
I'll love you tonight, it feels so right
Feels so right
Having you near me, holding you near me
I want you to stay and never go away
It's so right
Having you near me, holding you near me
I'll love you tonight, it feels so right
Feels so right

Good evening, amazing people!

Last weekend, I had to attend a birthday party for my nephew, which was held at the farm. I arrived at my mom's house a few hours earlier before the party, which is close to my nephew's house. While killing time, I took my dog (who lives with mom) for a walk in the woods (just a few walks from her backyard). The woods are full of mahogany trees, which I love the most. Watch the video to appreciate. My dog, Sofia, loved it too.

A blessed Black Saturday, amazing friends.

I just wanted to share a few clips I took during our visit a few days earlier to the floating restaurant under a highway bridge- The Riverfarm.

An agritourism destination, Riverfarm is a seafood restaurant located at km 282, Baroro Bacnotan, La Union. According to the proprietor, his father started the Golden Tilapia fish farm, and he then fabricated a cottage where he could go to rest, which at that point, formed into a little eatery. It is now situated on a vast tract of land adjacent to the Baroro River, fourteen years later. The proprietor shares that they likewise plan to open a quaint little inn before long confronting the waterway.

By the way, their golden tilapia is the bomb!

Enjoy!

A pleasant Sunday, y'all amazing people.

Last night, I was scrolling throughmy social media to kill some time before sleep. I came across an old OPM (original Filipino Music) by Michael Pangilinan entitled "Bakit Ba Ikaw" which gave me goosies. The song is full of emotions and couldn't stop playing. After a few moments, I decided to make a cover. It is also my first time singing the song and I loved it. I love it.

LYRICS:

Mula ng aking masilayan
Tinataglay mong kagandahan
Di na maawat ang pusong sa'yo ay magmahal
Laman ka ng puso't isipan
Di na kita maiiwasan
Pag-ibig ko sana ay pagbigyan
Bakit ba ikaw ang naiisip ko at
Di na mawala-wala pa
Kahit na alam ko na ang puso mo
Ay may mahal na ngang iba
Ayaw ng paawat nang aking damdamin
Tunay na mahal ka na
Sanay hayaan mong ibigin kita
Maghihintay pa rin at aasa
Masaya ka ba pag siya ang kasama
Di mo na ba ako naaalala
Mukha mo ay bakit di ko malimot limot pa
Laman ka ng puso't isipan
Di na kita maiiwasan
Pag-ibig ko sana ay pagbigyan
Bakit ba ikaw ang naiisip ko at
Di na mawala-wala pa
Kahit na alam ko na ang puso mo
Ay may mahal na ngang iba
Ayaw ng paawat nang aking damdamin
Tunay na mahal ka na
Sana'y hayaan mong ibigin kita
Maghihintay pa rin at aasa
Sa pag-ibig mo nama'y
Nagmamay-ari na
Nais ko lang malaman mo
Na minamahal kita
Bakit ba ikaw ang naiisip ko at
Di na mawala-wala pa
Kahit na alam ko na ang puso mo
Ay may mahal na ngang iba
Ayaw ng paawat nang aking damdamin
Tunay na mahal ka na
Sanay hayaan mong ibigin kita
Maghihintay pa rin at aasa

Thank you for watching!

Happy new week, amazing people!

It'e been a busy start of the week for me and just now getting on. Anyway, when I'm feeling particularly adventorous, I sometimes take my introverted self outside and go for a beach stroll and sight-seeing. Where do you like to take yourself the most? Sitting on my favorite rock on the coast and looking out at the ocean is just one of my favorites!

I am just grateful to be living close to the ocean. Tell me what you are thankful for right now. We don't stop to appreciate what we have because life goes by so quickly. What brought you joy today? Which things make you happy? Did you had any idea that you matter definitely? You do. Promise.

Just stopping by.

Happy Hump Day, yall!

I am kind of tired today, and could not think of anything to write, so let's chill and do some karaoke. I'm singing "MY WAY" by Frank Sinatra - a beautiful classic song, and one of the Philippine Karaoke Bars most requested songs.

Trivia:
A few years back, killings took place here in the Philippines and mostly in karaoke bars (between 2002 and 2012) and it's suspected that at least 12 people were killed in connection to singing Frank Sinatra's hit song "My Way." One incident was when a young guy was singing off-key and wouldn’t stop singing, the guard lost his mind and pulled out his gun, and shot the guy. Heartbreaking.

Anyway, here's the lyrics:

And now the end is here
And so I face that final curtain
My friend I'll make it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more
I did it, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much, much more
I did it, I did it my way
Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself then he has naught
Not to say the things that he truly feels
And not the words of someone who kneels
Let the record shows I took all the blows and did it my way

Have a peaceful day or evening wherever you may be.

Happy Weekend, amazing people!

Today is a chill day for me and just tryna take everything easy after a long stressful week. One of my outlets is singing even though I am not a singer lol. Here's one of my favorite songs of all time entitled "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick.

In life, friends come and go and those who remain, cherish them. To all my friends here on Hive, this is for you. Bear with me and the audio.

Lyrics:

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Oh, keep smilin' and keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (that's what friends are for, ya)
On me for sure (count on me for sure, count on me for sure)
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Happy Friday, y'all beautiful people!

A few weeks earlier, I heard this song online and it brought me back to the days when the world was way way simpler. I used to hear this when I was a little. It gave me goosies and nostalgic feeling. My heart aches for those times. When there was no social media and internet, music was the soundtrack of our lives. I truly miss those old good days.

Here's a song by Dennis DeYoung entitled "Desert Moon" by me.

"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said
but I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before.
I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away
She was standing in the rain
Trying hard to speak my name
They say first love never runs dry
The waiter poured our memories in a tiny cup
We stumbled over words we longed to hear
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up
When the whistle caught the night
And shook silence from my life
As the last train rolled toward the moon
Those summer nights
When we were young
We bragged of things
We'd never done
We were dreamers, only dreamers
And in our haste
To grow up too soon
We left our innocence on Desert Moon
We were dreamers, only dreamers
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
Desert Moon
I still can hear the whisper of the summer nights
It echoes in the corners of my heart
The night we stood waiting for the desert train
All the words we meant to say
All the chances swept away
Still remain on the road to undo
Those summer nights, when we were young
We bragged of things we'd never done
We were dreamers, only dreamers
Moments pass, and time moves on
But dreams remain for just as long as there's dreamers
All the dreamers
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
Desert Moon

Hello there, y'all amazing people!

Nothing is quite as breathtaking as a sunrise in the countryside. Whether you are a professional photographer or just someone who loves to take photos, capturing the beauty of a farmland sunrise can be a unique and rewarding experience.

The marvelous sunrise provides a breathtaking view of the rolling hills of farmland, as the sun peeks out above the horizon and casts its warm glow. Waking up to such a sight fills me with immense gratitude, as I take pleasure in admiring the charming dew drops that shimmer on the grassy fields. The undisturbed tranquility of the skyline is simply breathtaking, and I'm filled with an appreciation for nature at its finest. Indeed, waking up to the beauty of a marvelous sunrise and splendid farmland is an experience that I'm so grateful for!

Video and photo were taken not very far from our house. I hope you enjoyed the view.

Have an amazing day wherever you are!

Good evening all and blessed Ash Wednesday to all my friends who celebrate it.

I just stumbled one songs a little a while ago and it's one of my favorite songs entitled "I Won't Let Go by: Rascal Flatts. I could listen to it over and over and won't get tired. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I have been through some really rough times in the past. This song has got me through some really bad days. Thank you for this beautiful piece.

Lyrics:

I WON'T LET GO by Rascal Flatts

It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that
You think you're lost
But you're not lost on your own
You're not alone
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
If you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it's dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all (finds us all)
And we're too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let you fall
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I won't let you down
It won't get you down
You're gonna make it
Yeah I know you can make it
'Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And I won't let go
Won't let you go
No I won't

Howdy, y'all beautiful people!

So another rare plant is here (well, for me). Still from our Atok trip, I saw this plant called "Dusty Miller" plant that looks like it was soaked in a snow. According to our tour guide in Northern Blossom Flower Farm where I took this video and photo, is a pretty decorativeold-fashioned plant - also known as "Silver Ragwort". It's an annual plant that has silvery-grayish green thin hairs that helpto resist from extreme heat and drought.
When you touch it, it feels like a soft wool or felt paper. It can grow from twelve to eighteen inches tall.. I was kind of amazed, it was my first time seeing this plant my whole life. I was told it is very heat and drought tolerant so it can grow best in dry hot places.

My daughter and I had fun taking pictures of the field. I can't wait to get back up there again soon. Anyone have seen a plant like this? Let me know whatcha think!

Howdy. yall amazing people!

Today was a long restless day as usual. My neighbors started honking thei vehicles at 6am, yacking, welding until 7pm and it's just right outside my bedroom window. DOn't ask me why I did not talk to them. I did, and this is my response.

*My Way (Lyrics)

And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I've traveled each and every highway

But more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way...*

I am tired teling them how painful listening to their noises, so just sang it out loud. There's a story about Frank Sinatra's "MY WAY" here in the Philippines. Here in the country, Videoke or karaoke is the king. Every corner of the nation has at least one Videoke bar in it and one of the most requested song is "MY WAY". I love this song too and I used to listen this song played by my unclewhen I was a little. It is also one of my dad's fave songs when we was still alive. So anyway, a videoke bar here in the Philippines ain't fun without an alcohol. Since this song is on the top list, people get crazy about it and in 2010 if I am not mistaken, there were 12 people who died fighting for this song. I won't let this happen.God, please give me patience!

Just random. Hope all is well.

Hello all.

I mentioned in my previous post a few days ago that I was having a problem with my neighbors due to their constant noises and all that. I also lifted that up to the authorities, but oh well. So anyway, they were having karaoke again earlier until around 9pm and it's friggin' loud my ears couldn't handle it any longer.

Solution: If you can't beat them, join them. Lol.

So here's my karaoke revenge to them singing Air Supply's "Having You Near Me". I am sure everyone knows the song. Even my dog memorized its lyrics.

*"I came to you and never asked too much

Wondering what you would say

Hoping you'd understand

It's not a role I usually play

Don't speak too much of what's been going on

The past is over and gone

Give me your troubled mind

You know it's used

I can do so much for you

I want you

Having you near me, holding you near me

I want you to stay and never go away

It's so right

Having you near me, holding you near me

I'll love you tonight, it feels so right

Feels so right"

-Air Supply*

Hello there!

Bedtime chill just because it's weekend. I am a fan of Adelle and one of my favorite songs of her is "Easy On Me". For some reason, I can relate to the lyrics. The first lines already gave me goosies and made my eyes water. My life have travelled from hell and back and the lines "I know there is hope in these waters...but I can’t bring myself to swim...when I am drowning in this silence” just hit me big time.

You know, being a human is messy, complicated, tough at times. It's wonderful and yet frustrating and it's marvelous and then it's a seriously big pain in the butt. Sometimes a shift in our perspective from a different angle gives us a whole new avenue.

Just realized it's Mental Health Day yesterday - To those who are going through life's struggles, you are not alone. Sending love and light all especially to those who need it most.

Goodnight, beautiful souls. (Please bear with the audio - everyone's asleep)

Good morning or good evening, lovely people!

I took this day easy and lazy, although I did a few laundry, that pretty much all. The rest of the day was spend watching TV and some naps in between. Earlier this evening, my daughter @naniplayergamer had her extra-curricular Coding and Programming online class - not related to her school. She attends class every Sundays - one hour per week. I enrolled her via Facebook Ad 2 months ago. Since she loves playing online games like Roblox, doing digital arts and everything about computer, my husband and I granted her request. She rarely ask anything and she's a smart, polite kid - she deserved it.

While I was watching Tv, I was curious about their module/lesson this week so I had to take a peek and took a short video of her activity. She coded/created an online game from scratch. I think she did a good job. Just thought I'd share.

Greetings.

Just a short jam singing for hope before bed. I lost it these past 2 years and been a struggle big time. It took me a long time to find that hope back all over again. Hope sees me through the darkest times and pushes me to believe in something big - bigger than me and my dreams that I could be able to share it with others.

James Igram's song "Just Once" to me is a song of hope.

(sorry for the poor audio)

Goodnight everyone! Muchas Gracias!

Good evening, @hiveopenmic!

This is my first time joining the community and I thought I'd join this week invitation with the theme: "Nothing Is Impossible". I chose to cover James Ingram's "Just Once" because it is one of my favorite songs and to me, it means "hope" rather than heartbreak.

Today, I singing for hope (please bear with the poor audio and my non-singing voice) and I believe that nothing is impossible. I lost hope these past years and been a struggle big time. It took me a long time to find it back all over again. Hope sees me through the darkest times and pushes me to believe in something big - bigger than me and my dreams that I could be able to share it with others.

*Spanish Translation:

Hola! Esta es la primera vez que me uno a la comunidad y pensé en unirme a la invitación de esta semana con el tema: "Nada es imposible". Elegí hacer una versión de "Just Once" de James Ingram porque es una de mis canciones favoritas y para mí significa "esperanza" en lugar de angustia.

Hoy, canto por la esperanza (por favor, aguanten el mal audio y mi voz que no canta) y creo que nada es imposible. Perdí la esperanza estos últimos años y ha sido una gran lucha. Me tomó mucho tiempo encontrarlo de nuevo. La esperanza me ayuda a superar los momentos más oscuros y me empuja a creer en algo grande, más grande que yo y mis sueños, que podría compartir con los demás.*

Song Lyrics:

I did my best

But I guess my best wasn't good enough

Cause here we are

Back where we were before

Seems nothin' ever changes

We're back to being strangers

Wondering if we ought to stay

Or head on out the door

Just once

Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong

Why we never last for very long

What are we doin' wrong?

Just once

Can we find a way to finally make it right

Make the magic last for more than just one night

We could just get to it

I know we could break through it

Hmm hmm

I gave my all

But I think my all may have been too much

Cause Lord knows we're not gettin' anywhere

Seems we're always blowin'

Whatever we've got goin'

And it seems at times with all we've got

We haven't got a prayer...

Just once

Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong

Why the good times never last for long

Where are we goin' wrong?

Just once

Can we find a way to finally make it right

Make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we could break through it

If we could just get to it

Just once

I want to understand...

Why it always comes back to goodbye

Why can't we get ourselves in hand

And admit to one another

We're no good without each other

Take the best and make it better

Find a way to stay together

Just once...

Can we find a way to finally make it right

Whoa

Make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we could break through it

If we could just get to it

Just Once...

Whoa, oh

We can get to it...

Just Once...

Thank you everyone. Muchas gracias!

Happy Friday all!

It's finally weekend. I may deserve all the sleep I can have tonight, but I don't know that I will ever deserve my wonder dog. She saw the worst life has to offer for the past 2 years and her first two years of her life (she just turned 2 a month ago) yet, she loves everyone. She wakes up giggly and happy every single day and works so damn hard to make hoomans happy.

Like all dogs out there, my wonder aspin (Phillipine local dog) loves me more than she loves herself. We could all learn a lot from them. I know I have. Always have.

Just thought I'd share. Woof!

One love,

@bloghound

Happy weekend, Hive!

Just stopping by sending harmony your way...

Breath in... breath out...

We are connected with the ocean....

And we are all immovably grounded...

Dip your toes and feel the warm sand...

Feel the salty air that penetrates your lungs...

Sending, love and peace to all of you...

One love,

@bloghound

Just landed on 3speak!

Well, hello there!

I am planning to unplug this coming weekend and need a break from everything. I am also hoping for a serene and a peaceful one.

The world'd chaos is exhausting and a visit to the beach would be a good idea. Watch the waves dance and chase them sunsets. A day with nature and just be.

Video taken from my backyard - the beach.

One love,

@bloghound
