Goodbye’s the Saddest Word
by: Celine Dion

I would like to dedicate this song to the best mom in the whole wide world, my mother. I wouldn’t trade her for any other mom. You might be thinking, “awkie, your just saying she’s the best because she is your mom”, but to tell you the truth, she really is. If I tell you her story and her role in my life, you would be teary-eyed. I just want to dedicate this song to her, I have never been able to say I love you in person, but I really do love her with all my heart.

Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady

And mamma
All you had to offer
Was a promise of a lifetime of love

Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother’s love for her child

And I know
love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say goodbye

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you’ll say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman

And mamma
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me

‘Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother’s love for her child

And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday’ll be gone, must say goodbye

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you’ll say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

But the love you givin me will always live
You’ll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all

you take my weakness
and make me strong
And I will always love you
Till forever comes

And when you need me
I’ll be there for you always
I’ll be there your whole life through
I’ll be there Please stop crying its me, mamma

I’ll be your beacon through your darkest night
I’ll be your wings that guide your broken heart
I’ll be your shelter through the raging storm
and I will love you till forever comes

Goodbye’s the saddest word I’ll ever hear
Goodbye’s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you’ll say that word and I will cry
It’ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

‘Till we meet again…
Until then…
Goodbye……

I was very shocked today, when I checked on the traffic of my site it registered a very unbelievable figure.
I’m not happy, because I know this is impossible. From 11 my traffic site is now 8,15858,069.
WHY?? What’s wrong? What happened. I’m really confused. I don’t know what happened? If anyone can help me understand what’s going on, please help.
This is really so shocking

Speed test

I learned how to use the computer since I was in grade 3. I became a fast typist since grade 6, just accidentally because I love to play typing games for typing tutor then. I didn’t know it was going to be of great help to me since I am now working in a call center where typing fast is very much needed. You talk to customers and take note of it on the system at the same time. Not only that, you also have to digg your brain to find a solution to the caller’s problem. duh? So, if you want to be a call center agent, train your fingers now. I was awarded by STI as BEST IN COMPUTER when I graduated in high school, and my typing ability and computer knowledge played a big part on that. I also won 3rd place in a provincial competition for web creation, wherein we competed with the top computer schools in Bohol. I was lucky I grew up in Batuan Colleges Inc, where I have access to computers, but for those who never had that kind of environment, you can start and train yourself now. It’s never too late. I’m sure with the availability of computers and internet cafe, one can always find a way to practice in the internet. What’s your speed?

I got this message in my mail box today from the success quote where I am subscribed. I like it, so I’m sharing it with you.

You walk into a karate school for a first visit and see kicking,
punching, blocking, chopping and flipping. It can be intimidating if
you’ve never done these things. Or, you may look and feel awkward
learning to snow ski or roller blade or taking a foreign language.
But persist; this is your first day and there will never be
another first day. Any new endeavor may be tough in the beginning.
Accept this. You must believe in yourself. Initially, critics may
feel free to ridicule your ideas and goals as foolish and
unrealistic. When you ultimately succeed, everyone will claim to
have been on your team from the beginning. Take action and persist.
Applaud those who try, because the first step is often the toughest.

Here is what I can say:

Every person has some sort of fear for anything which is unknown. People love to stay with their comfort zones, because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of criticism etc. Most of the time, we put so much importance on what people might think about us, so we play it safe. It’s not easy to go out from this comfort zone, as we don’t know what will happen. But I believe, that success requires us to stretch ourselves out by doing things which we usually don’t do. Things that will improve our lives and our entire being. As what this success quote implies, all we have to do is to bare with the feeling of awkwardness at the beginning stage, and to keep on moving. Until, we can master that fear and advance to the next level.

Ate Jay Ann Salces, is one of my relatives. Though we’re not that close, I still know a lot of things about her. I know that she is already married to her classmate in high school named Joseph. They already have a child. And I think and hope that she is now happily married. She is a good volleyball player. She is sort of talkative and very jolly. I already translated this to English.

Here is her comment to me:

Basta, this girl is very brilliant, name it all.. she has.. and an active leader & member in any organization she was

Yesterday, I was able to buy a book entitled Become a Better You, written by Joel Osteen. The principles laid there are usually based on biblical scriptures. I really liked it a
lot, because it’s looks simple and easy to understand. As of now, I am almost halfway to it, even if it’s still the first day, from the time I bought it. I’m really excited. It’s like, I don’t want to finish reading it. That’s because, I don’t want it to end. I have not internalized the important points yet, I just marked it down with my pen. After I read the entire book, I’m going to go back to it and absorbed it well. And of utmost importance is to apply it in my life. This book has been a blessing to me. I can see, and I know that it is going to totally changed my life. I know, that through my own efforts, plus the grace of God, I will be fine, and I will be able to overcome my weaknesses, and rise above them. I know that it’s possible for me to live through my full potential, reaching my dreams and my aspirations not only for myself, but for my loved ones as well.
This book serves as a follow up book of his first book which also became very popular, “Your Best Life Now”. I haven’t read that book yet, but it’s already on my list of the next books that I would like to read.
In Become a Better you, the author outlined 7 key steps that would dramatically change a person’s life, whoever he is, as long as he learns how to apply it in his daily life. These 7 key steps include: Keep pressing forward, Be Positive toward Yourself, Develop Better Relationships, Form Better Habits, Embrace the place where you are, Develop your Inner Life, Stay Passionate About life. I realized, right after I read the summary on the back cover that this is exactly what I had been looking for, so I didn’t hesitate to buy it. Joel Osteen has a lot of critics, but I don’t care about that, I still believe in him and in his eagerness to reach out to people, even to those who don’t willingly accept his message.

I got interested with this girl named ESMEE, whom I posted here in my blog, this is from YOUTUBE. I found out some interesting things about here. Her story is very inspiring. She was just an ordinary girl, who loves to sing on videos. She has a deep passion for singing. Just for fun, and as a channel of her passion, she posts her videos wherein you can see her singing in YOUTUBE. She sang songs from different artist. Would you believe that she has been discovered through that? That’s the start of her career.

Well, here’s the story. She has been invited as a guest in Ophrah, which has been like a dream come true for her. She has been watching Oprah’s show everyday, considers hersefl as an avid fan of the latter. She then rendered a song in front of Oprah and the audience, as well as the founders of YouTube. Then, they talked about You Tube and how it has been changing the lives of the people. This, opened the door to a lot of opportunities for her. She has been recording songs then. She’s happy because youtube has allowed her to fulfill her dreams in life. She never dreamed she would reach this far. She’s so pretty, isn’t she? I’m sure the information I provided is not enough, so you can check it our further, by checking on her site ESMEEWORLD.

TEARS IN HEAVEN
by ERIC CLAPTON

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I’ll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can’t stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There’s peace I’m sure.
And I know there’ll be no more…
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven

Sometimes, I feel like the world has change. Everything in life now, is instant. Everything is done quick and fast. Everyone is busy, doing one thing or another, earning for a living, looking for more opportunities to grab more money. Everyone is going after the next “NEW” dress, accessories, gadgets, house, car etc. WHEW! It’s just so draining. I feel like we’re all in a rush…I don’t know, perhaps it’s just me, or maybe I am right. It’s like my life is revolving around work. Work, work and nothing but work. I do work all night, and when I’m home in the morning, well, what do you expect? Of course, I do sleep. I have to sleep so that I can recuperate and have strength to do my job for the next night. My eating and sleeping pattern has been disturbed ever since I’ve been on the night shift. Yes, my weight dropped. I used to be slim, but now, I’m really thin. Usually, I just hide it with a jacket. I don’t like to eat, it might be because of my eating pattern which is not normal.. I lack appetite, and I can’t really sleep well in the morning. Our place, is filled of homes who have people who do nothing but sing videoke. Duh? I know you can imagine the place. Just imagine a place, where at least 3-5 karaokes are rambling loud while you’re trying to get some sleep during the day. Yeah, that’s my life now. Sometimes I day dream, and I imagine the life I would want to have. That gives me hope and freedom. We are all in the rat race, as what the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad wrote. I can see it is right. We work for money, and the cycle just keeps on going. I’m just hoping that one day we will be free. And I know, it will come. God is there, and along with determination nothing is impossible. I dream someday that I would just be able to stay home and I will be the one to take care of my 6 month old baby, instead of my mom. I dream that I would be able to take care of my husband more, and attend to his needs. I dream that I will be the one managing the house, and taking care of important things. If I have an option, I wouldn’t be on this job. Being shouted at, by customers who are aggregated even by simple matters, is not easy. You’re the one giving this service, and yet, they nag and shout at you. Sometimes, this work can be so toxic and draining. I just want to have some time to rest, and to take care of my family. I also would like to have more time for other things I wanted to do. I want to finish my degree, I want to travel and enjoy life. Well, as for now, I just have to deal with it. I also have to learn to love it and thrive in it, I know. I guess, only those working in a call center can understand what I feel. But anyway, this is my life now, so you know. And I’m simply happy to be able to share it with you.
