one flaw in women

***i recently got this email from a friend, and i just wanted to share it to all women out there who might be reading this***

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make youinto the person you were meant to be.

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Take time to realize,
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in.

Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I,
Didn't I tell you.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.

Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.

Take time to realize
This all can pass you by...
Didn't I tell you

But I can't spell it out for you,
No its never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you.

If you just realized what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
Then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.

It's not always the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

If you just realized what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
Then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
Just realized what I just realized
OoOoOOo

Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

and then i saw this...

5. nightcaps- i can deal without this, i only drink on occasions

Para sa Akin


Kung ika'y magiging akin
Di ka na muling luluha pa
Pangakong di ka lolokohin
Ng puso kong nagmamahal

Kung ako ay papalarin
Na ako'y iyong mahal na rin
Pangakong ikaw lang ang iibigin
Magpakailanman

Di kita pipilitin
Sundin mo pang iyong damdamin
Hayaan nalang tumibok ang puso mo
Para sa akin

Kung ako ay mamalasin
At mayron ka nang ibang mahal
Ngunit patuloy ang aking pagibig
Magpakailanman

Di kita pipilitin
Sundin mo pang iyong damdamin
Hayaan nalang tumibok ang puso mo
Para sa akin

Kung ako ay papalarin
Na ako'y iyong mahal na rin
Pangakong ikaw lang ang iibigin
Magpakailanman

Di kita pipilitin
Sundin mo pang iyong damdamin
Hayaan nalang tumibok ang puso mo
Para sa akin

Di kita pipilitin
Sundin mo pang iyong damdamin
Hayaan nalang tumibok ang puso mo
Para sa akin... para sa akin

britain's got talent 2009

i've never been much of a fan when it comes to british tv or movies, but these past few weeks i've been watching britain's got talent largely in part because of susan boyle. but after the magic that she has dissipated somewhat, i began to search for other acts or talents that the show has. i have to say, there are some really talented blokes out there, such as dance acts flawless & diversity, kids who can really sing like shaheen jafargholi & holly steele, rocker-looking-but-opera-loving gregg pritchard & crowd phobic jamie pugh who also sang opera like susan. but what really got me glued to the pc was when i clicked on this guy named shaun smith. i must admit, i clicked on his name because the pic that came with the video showed a good looking guy, and, because i'm a girl who likes good looking guys, i watched the video.

boy, what a video, what a voice, what a HUNK!!! shucks!!! my jaw just about dropped to the floor when he started singing "ain't no sunshine" by bill withers. his voice is so cool, so smooth, i can just listen to him forever. i couldn't wait for the next round when he would sing again, so, about a week later, i searched for a new post in youtube and almost said "allelujah!" when it produced new videos from the semi finals. he sang "with or without you" by u2, not an easy song, but he did it flawlessly. sigh...dreamy sigh...=)

i can't waitfor the finals. i can't wait to see who's going to win. i'm kinda torn because i have to admit, it's hard to choose when there's so many good talents! but still, shaun smith, i love the boy...i meant his voice...what i meant was I...LOVE...HIS...VOICE!!! but, whatever, i think i'm developing a huge fangirl crush...wahaha!!!

rugby player+nice guy+nice voice+great body= every single girl's fantasy!!!

just click the links below if you want to watch shaun's performance on BGT:

doing nothing

for the past 1 hour or so, i've been looking at this site i always frequent whenever i want to laugh. it's called cake wrecks, and its about,well, cakes in their mostly wrecked but often hilarious state. because of the foodie that i am, i can't help but be hungry when i look at the pictures, even though some of them are truly horrible, even disgusting to look at. but whatever, they're still cakes, which means i can still eat them! right? hahaha!!!

tomorrow, i'm off! yipee! finally, after what seemed like an eternity since my last day off (it's actually just 3 days, i think) i'm finally free to do everything and nothing at all...teehee... yup, will just laze around the house all day, probably watch a movie or two (or three, if i have the time). and maybe...do the laundry? weeeellll...ok, i'll think about it...tomorrow...

okay, ciao for now!
back to looking at cakes...
