How to Save a Life

I really like this song. Enjoy.




Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

I finally figured out where to put the codes for my shout box. Kewl. This could be a new addiction. Tweaking my blog. Plus posting ofcourse. And probably throwing comments back and forth with abba and russ. lol. I like.

Awaken by Heaven

I'm up early today. Well, early than usual. Early for me. Our maintenance guy "Heaven" (yup, that's his name) buzzed at around 10:30am. He was gonna fix my closet floors that the termites ruined. So here i am, blogging, because i have nothing else to do, while Heaven is sawing and hammering away. Ang ingay. Ron's going straight home tonight after work to Bulacan. Joey and Flor will probably be home late. Haay. Another boring day. Exactly why i hardly post here. There's really nothing much to talk about. But right now, i don't care. Writing always makes me feel better anyway. It'll help each day go by quicker. lol. Ang ingay pa rin ni Heaven. Funny how Heaven can make my morning Hell. lol.

It's 1:56am and I'm still up. Funny how i suddenly had this urge to visit this darn thing. Forgot about it. Sorry abba. lol. I'm happy today coz i lost an inch from my waist. yey! but then again, like abba said, "magkaibigan tayo"..which means...i'll probably relapse to gluttony any time soon. hahaha!!! wag naman.

Bye Kuya... boohoo...

Today, Kuya left for Papua New Guinea. The day I've been dreading for 2 years has arrived. The day that just thinking about it makes me teary eyed. Oh well. It's for the best. He'll be back in about 2 months though - in time for Ate Leslie's last trimester and the much awaited birth of the twins. But still. They'll all go back to Papua to be general physicians in their lay-in clinic.

It just makes me sad that the 3 of us are apart again. Kuya, Joey and I. It's happening again. Kuya leaves us because he's older and has to take the next step in life. The first time it was to study high school and college here in the Philippines. Now he's going back to Papua to raise a family and make a living. After 13 years of it just being us while Mum & Dad were in Papua, magkahiwalay na naman kami. I hated it the first time. I'm hating the second time. Wala ng magbabantay sa amin ni Joey. I never felt homesick and missed Mummy & Daddy because I knew I'd be fine with Kuya around. But don't get me wrong, I need Joey too. Most of the time we act the same age so sometimes he doesn't really play the "kuya" role. Hence, I don't call him Kuya Joey. It's just Joey. There's Kuya and there's Joey. Both of which I would die living without.

But then again, it's all for the better. Or as I like to say, "for the better-er". Hehehe.

My last text to Kuya after we said our goodbyes: "Don't worry kuya. We'll take care of ate & the twins. You have a safe trip & say hi to mum & dad. I said I wasn't gonna cry but i did. Hiwalay na naman tyo 3. :'c "

Kuya's last text to me: "U better u morons. It's only temporary. Good times ahead."

He promised. And I believe him. Boohoo. Miss na kita Kuya. And Mummy & Daddy too. Can't wait for the day that we pick you and mum up at the airport 2 months from now. Hurry uf. Ang dramacious! Tama na nga.
