"when you believe"

after looking up david archuleta singing when you believe since i missed it, i looked up the whitney and mariah version. i love their version, whenever i watch their music video, the 3rd verse and going into the last chorus makes me cry. no matter how many times i watch it, i always cry or tear up.

"They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near"

when i see moses strike his staff down and the red sea parts, it just gets me everytime and the verse makes me cry even more. i don't know... i just want to believe more. i want to beable to believe. i wish we could sing this in vocal ensemble.

so after watching whitney and mariah's when you believe music video, i watched the movie on youtube. it was actually really good. i'm so glad that i watched it. although they did change somethings from the bible(read online since i didn't read te bible which i should) it was really good. i felt like i was there in a way, especially when Moses was talking to God as the burning bush. the songs were really good and the images were brilliant. the voice actors made me believe that the characters were real, well they were real but real in the sense of people acting as them now. i don't know what i j ust said... hahaa

i feel so good talking about believing in my faith. i really want to believe and be with God.

"they can never take away our faith."

does anyone really know me, do i even know who i am?

i found myself thinking about who i really am. my friend and i were doing a poster on the last day before spring break started. she said that i would want the poster perfect and that i would fix the whole thing at home. i said no i wouldn't and she said at school "shut up reesee! i know you." but do you really? no, no you don't. the thing is i not a perfectionist at everything. or maybe i'm the one who doesn't really know me.

yes people see me express my extreme happiness and anger with smiles, a little violence, a little yelling and squelling. i can express myself pretty well i guess.but i found out that i can't express myself around other people when i'm sad. who am i really? we shall find out sooner or later.

i really should stop talking about myself. i'm getting a little disgusted. my friend kris's dog died over the weekend. she's been sad, that makes me sad. bumbum is happy with the gf. kay doesn't come to any filipino parties, that makes me kind of upset. i mean alot of people want to see her. maybe i'm being selfish or she's the one but i want to see other people happy cause she's the one making herself happy. i have no clue if that even makes sense. but whatever.

"we all wanna believe in love... we all wanna believe in something."

jonas brothers concert March 21, 2008 in AC, New Jersey

loved it! it was the most amazing thing i've ever seen.

well i went with my friend steph. we had to pick up our tickets at 3:15 from elizabeth's mom because they were there since 8 am or something and she had VIP tickets for te sound check.

oh how i wish i went to a meet&greet of theirs. valora and rooney opened up for them and they were amazing too oh and when the jonas brothers came out OMG! amazing i loved them so much! they sang so beautifully. i loved their new songs especially "Burning up" nick jonas does a little strip tease hahaha not really he just rips his sleeves off and takes his vest off. haha i love his signature "watch me do a flip" flip and joe's flip oh and joe's cute dance! OMG loved it. loved kevin's SOS dance! loved every second of it. suprised that my voice isn't shot. hahaha

my wish: is to meet nick jonas and give him a great big hug.

i'm a paradox.

i'm nice and yet mean. i'm shy and yet outgoing. there's more than that i just don't feel like typing it all out.
why am i like this? i have no clue.

i just want to go there.

"appreciate" the lives we have, try not to ruin them. if something goes wrong, don't get down on yourself. just hold on.  if might get rough sometimes but keep the faith. life is too short so appreciate.

we received a lecture in vocal ensemble about how we act nowadays, that we disrespect other people, that we don't see that we hurt them. as she was talking of course you want it to be over but you realize it's true. people act so rude and hurt people and they don't know they do it. i'd like to say "sorry" to those that they have hurt if they were hurt.
i'm sorry for the words that i said that hurt you.

well have you ever thought of wanting to go to the future and wanting to see what you'll be like years from now? i'm feeling that way so much. i just want to know so bad. but i guess the wait is worth while.
