I cannot say I have no life after the passing of the greatest man I’ve ever known becuase that’s impossible.

Months before his passing, I met someone who was a dream, a description, and a prayer.

Sometimes I wonder, probably that’s one among the "YOU’LL KNOW WHEN IT’S THE RIGHT TIME" my Dad has always taught me.

1.  It is the right time to fall in love.

2.  It is the right time to decide.

3.  It is the right time to let go.

4.  It is the right time to grow up and move on.

People have known my love and respect for my father that I’ve never had given to any man until I met Almir.

And maybe, my Dad knows that he is not the first guy in my life anymore and he knows I have made the right choice.

You are right Daddy.

Even if there are millions of people in the world, my heart will let me know when it’s the right time.

But…..

I’m still  missing you.

You are the best person that God could ever provide me for a father……

Even up to the last breath of his life, there was nothing else he could think of but his family.

My Dad made sure he won’t burden us in agonizing for his death.

He made sure my mom and even us are well provided for until the day he dies.

As my sister and I would say: it is indeed true that money cannot buy happiness.  There is no amount comparing to being with the one you love……..

My father is indeed a great man.

For the last week of his life, I have met people whom he touched hearts in so many different ways and are grateful to have a moment with him.

I have always known that until the day he dies, people will still come up and say more than one great word about him.

To everyone who are grateful like us, let us pray for his soul that he may find the light to salvation.

Thank you very much.

i have never felt this alive…

this happy…

thanks for the people who remember to stay happy for me and for my new family.

i always treasure you all and will never forget every act of kindness you did for me.

above all, i thank GOD for giving me a great life and a great love that not all of us are given the privelege to experience.

Do you think I’m different?  Because I don’t think I am.  I’m still the same person I was years ago long before I am who I am.  The only difference if there may be is that, I GREW UP.

People we’ve known all our lives seem to forget that inspite of who we were when we meet them, inside, we are the still the same person.

I don’t think you’re getting me.

My favorite color is still green.

They are still the same parents, siblings, and families I have.

I still eat the same things I did before, only now I eat considerably and added a few drops of healthy food.

I do bad habits now (as other people would describe it), but I had that even before.  The bad habits are still there, only now, in a different state.

People who think of me differently now and are not ‘ok’ with it might be the people who are scared that I am not as predictable as I was. 

To assure you I’ll say this:

Whoever I am now, each one of the people I met have influenced me in little and/or small ways.

Thank you for that.

Thank you for the joys, sorrows, heartaches, smiles, despairs, and most of all friendship.

Don’t be afraid.

I’m still that same person u met.

DUDI

It was indeed a big transition for me.  Some things unplanned are meant to be and are always worth the wait.

It has been a difficult start for me in 2006 and ended perfectly well welcoming another wonderful year of my life.

I know for a fact that I never asked God for something I don’t believe in.  I never asked ev en my parents to give me something more than what I deserve.  People may find it strange that I have been so impulsive and irrational in their point of view.  All I can say is that I can assure you all that I am very happy and in-love.

Thank you for the people who came and went into my life for another year that passed.  But to this guy, thank you for coming but I am asking you to stay.  I am worth the wait and so are you.

We came from the other sides of the world, met halfway, and will stay together forever.

This old dog is finally home Dudi.

You are my home.

I can’t believe that I have reached this end..
The road seemed endless, agonizing just all refuse to bend

You my Lord have given me the strength..
Courage and the privilege to say YES to You again!

Many among us come my way
Many among us come to say
> >
I choose You Lord today in my life
I choose You Lord in every trial and strife
I choose You Lord

Lord You are the one
I choose to be with
I am here for You as You were there for me

Oo

hindi mo lang alam naiisip kita
baka sakali nga maisip mo ako
hindi mo lang alam hanggang sa gabi
inaasam makita kang muli

nagtapos ang lahat sa di inaahasahang
panahon at ngayon akoy iyong iniwan
luhaan, sugatan, d mapakinabangan
sana’y nagtanong ka lang kung d mo lang alam
sana’y nagtanong ka lang kung d mo lang alam

ako’y iyong nasakatan
baka sakaling lang maisip mo naman
hindi mo lang alam kay tagal na panahon
ako’y nandrito parin hanggang ngayon para sayo

lumipas man ang araw na ubod ng saya
hindi parin nagbabago ang aking pagsinta
kung ako’y nagkasala patawd na sana
ang puso kong hangal ngayon lang nagmahal

wooh, hindi mo lang alm akoy iyong nasaktan
o baka sakaling ngang maisip mo naman
puro siya na lang… sana’y ako naman
hindi mo lang alam ikay minamasdan
sna’y iyong mamalayan
hindi mo lang alam hindi mo alam

kahit tayoy mgkaibigan lang
bumabalik lhat sa tuwing nakukulitan
bka sakali lng maisip mo naman
akoy nandito lng hnd mo lng alm
matalino ka naman

kung ikaw at ako ay tunay na bigo
sa laro na ito ay dpat bang sumuko
sana’y d ka na lang pala aking nakilala
kung alam ko lng ako’y iyong mssktan
narito, sana’y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko

hindi mo lang alam akoy iyong nasaktan
o baka sakaling ngang maisip mo naman
puro siya na lang.. sana’y ako naman
hindi mo lang alam ika’y minamasdan
sana’y iyong mamalayan
hindi mo lang alam ohhh

malas mo
ikaw ang natipuhan ko
hindi mo lang alam ako’y iyong nasaktan

Never wait for anyone to love you:  make them.

Never wait for anyone to take care of you: take care of them.

Never wait for anyone to say things:  talk to them.

Never wait for anyone to assume nothing:  assume everything.

Nonesense as it is, that is the gift of waiting.

Never wait. 

PIANO IN THE DARK

When I find myself watching the time
I never think about all the funny things you said
I feel like it’s dead
Where is it leading me now?

I turn around in the still of the room
Knowing this is when I’m gonna make my move
Can’t wait any longer
And I’m feeling stronger but oh

Just as I walk through the door
I can feel your emotions here
It’s pullin’ me back
(Just a little more back)
Back to love you

Oh no, caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark

He holds me close like a thief of the heart
He plays the melody
Born to tear me all apart
Silence is broken
And no words are spoken but oh

Just as I walk through the door
I can feel your emotions here
It’s pullin’ me back
(Just a little more back)
Back to love you

Oh no, caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark

Silence is broken
And no words are spoken but oh

Just as I walk through the door
I can feel your emotions here
It’s pullin’ me back
(Just a little more back)
Back to love you

Oh no, caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little, oh i cry i cry
Oh no, caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
