Para Lang Sa'yo

Lately I've been listening to tagalog songs to try and help me learn how to speak tagalog. I don't know if that's the right method since I don't understand the lyrics.

I really like Para Lang Sa'yo written and sung by Aiza Seguerra. I remember listening to this song when I watched the filipino teleserye Ysabela.

For your reading pleasures, I included the lyrics of the song below. Download the song if you want to listen to it. And if you know tagalog, perhaps you can translate the lyrics for me. hahaha! I could understand some stuff, but not everything.

Para Lang Sa'yo

By Aiza Seguerra

Noo’y umbig na ako
Subalit nasaktan ang puso
Parang ayoko nang umbig pang muli
May takot na nadarama
Na muli ay maranasan
Ayoko nang masaktan muli ang puso ko
Ngunit ng ikaw ay makilala
Biglang nagbago ang nadarama

Para sa yo ako’y iibig pang muli
Dahil sa yo ako’y iibig ng muli
Ang aking puso’y pag-ingatan mo
Dahil sa ito’y muling magmamahal sa iyo
Para lang sa yo

Mmuli ay aking nadama
Kung paano ang umibig
Masakit man ang nakaraa’y nalimot na
At tulad mo’y naiiba
At sa yo lamang nakita ang tunay na pag-ibig na aking hinahanap
Buti na lang ikaw ay nakilala
Binago mo ang nadarama

Para sa yo ako’y iibig pang muli
Dahil sa yo ako’y iibig ng muli
Ang aking puso’y pag-ingatan mo
Dahil sa ito’y muling magmamahal sa iyo
Para lang sa yo

Di na ako muling mag-iisa
Gayong ikaw ay nandito na…

Para sa yo ako’y iibig pang muli
Dahil sa yo ako’y iibig ng muli
Ang aking puso’y pag-ingatan mo
Dahil sa ito’y muling magmamahal sa iyo
Para lang sa yo

Ako’y iibig pang muli
Para lang sa yo…

Philippines in October....

Tones and I are planning on going to our mother land in October or November! We were suppose to go to Italy, but it's going to be Tones' 15 years of not being home...a great way to celebrate by going back!

I'm also trying to get Mel to go. I'm really excited...I'm totally in my Filipino mode. Listening to tagalog songs and watching tagalog movies! And I miss my family there! So good choice Tones on our destination!

Final thing to say....

Hmmm....Hello "JOHN"!!!

Thank Goodness It's Almost Over.....

5 more days and counting till April 15th!!!

I'm so anxious for this tax season to be over. No more working Saturdays and back to half day Fridays! Thank goodness!! I could sleep in on Saturdays though my weekends after tax season are pretty much full till June. Check this out:

  • April 19th Weekend: Antoinette & Carlo's wedding shower and Kyla's baptism
  • April 26th Weekend: Help with the wedding program and party favors
  • May 3rd Weekend: Nicole's graduation and Marianne's party shindig
  • May 10th Weekend: Antoinette's bachlorette party
  • May 17th Weekend: Antoinette & Carlo's big day....wedding!
  • May 23rd Weekend: Camping trip to San Onofre (may just do a day trip)
  • May 31st Weekend: New Mexico trip with the family
  • June 7th Weekend: Tentative Vegas trips with the girls

Besides the busy weekends I still need to make time to work out, study for the Enrolled Agent exam, plan Relay for Life, help with the fundraiser dinner for Excellence Through Exercise Foundation, and have make-up dinners with friends.

I was asked by Adina yesterday how do I find the energy to do everything....honestly I don't know. But I do know that I wouldn't want to change anything. I love helping out and want to challenge my capacity. Plus I just need 5 hours a day to sleep and I'm fine!

Funny Conversation #1

So I decided that I will start writing funny/enlightening conversations...so here goes the first one.

Conversation with Marianne - April 2008....

A couple days ago I was on the phone with Marianne and I was telling her that I told one of Mike's trainers to get into America's Next Top Model because she has the look and body. She was very modest and said that she was shy. I insisted that she should at least try it out, but she didn't budge.

Marianne and I were saying that if we had the look and the body we'd flaunt it, whatever that means. Then Marianne says "maybe that's why God didn't want to give us the look and the body, we'd use it for the wrong reasons!!!" We both busted out laughing!! She made me really think about that one. Moral of the story...be humble!
