Second hand emotion

You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract

It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

(my favorite part)
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If i tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be

There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

I've been taking on a new direction
But i have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

If you haven't figured it out yet, this is a song from Tina Turner -What's love got to do. I really didnt like this song before because it was old and used to hear it a lot from my papa's phonograph(as in a 20th century ponograph before rapper murder those turntables during the 90's we have a nice turntable playing my pop's music- we didnt have a stereo but that ) but when I heard it on the Radio just last week with my earphones on - I fell inlove with the song's lyrics... can't get it off my mind thats why its here.

Singapore

I would really want to go to Singapore.

It's the place to be for me I feel like once I will be there all will be well. I'd be working in a different country get to know different kinds of people - yet I'd be closer to home. I really make it a point to put extra effort on things I want to do. So since I want to go to Singapore hope something comes up and I'll be able to go there and see for myself.

Typhoon Ondoy

I have never imagined such calamity would struck our country. I was holding on to my seat as I was watching the news on what Ondoy has done to Manila. It was unbelievable - rich or poor no one was spared. I was teary-eyed watching clips on how people tried to hold on to dear life. So many people on the Luzon area were affected. This was unexpected.

I hope and pray that we will be able to recover from the destruction that Ondoy has brought our country. I myself have no means of helping - I am not rich to donate money, I am out of the country and could not find any organization who needs volunteers, all I could do is pray for safety and that the next typhoon - Peping will be less ruthless than Ondoy. But we need not worry for as they've said - there will always be rainbow after the rain. And we've already seen a tinge of that rainbow. Alot of Filipinos are giving whatever they can to help out. Knowing that they are far more blessed than the others. That material things has nothing to do with living a good life. Everything could be gone in split-second. We have learned alot of what just happened.

It may take time but we will be able to rebuild what was lost. We always go back to one of our Filipino values : Bayanihan. walang imposible basta't tulong-tulong.
