What are we ever gonna do if we lose all that hope?
If we lose all things including that one that keeps us going?
Where are we gonna go if we ever stop dreaming?
If we stop believing and thinking of better things?
How are we gonna stay afloat when we look at the sky and see nothing but vast darkness?
If we don't believe that one day stars will shine again, brighter than the sun?
When will we ever learn that it's that one thought that will keep us going.
keep us hanging on.
keep us sane.
All of us will always have that one wish, one prayer, one lifeline.
All of us will always be thankful for one more day. one more minute.
One more shot in making life more.
All we need is just one more.
just that one little thing.........

Have finally finished re-reading Amy Tan's The Hundred Secret Senses. AND it's worth the all nighter, as always.
"You can't stop young girls from wishing. No! Everyone must dream. We dream to give ourselves hope.To stop ourselves from dreaming- well, that's like saying you can never change your fate. Isn't that true?"- Kwan, The Hundred Secret Senses
If we have reached the kind of happiness we only once dreamed, it's because we hang on to that dream tighter than we ever realize. But even if we already are, we dream for the future. and we wish for the people around us. Wish for them. Be happy for them.
And if we shoot down other people's dreams, just because we think they bear no logic, then we are no better than the old wives that blamed unhappiness to fate.
Stumble if you must, but go for the climb. It is by climbing that Young Girl's Wish that we discover how bittersweet our lives can get.
NEVER stop wishing! :)

Investing Time
I'm watching my daughter play pretend and do role playing with her friend, C. And I could not help but marvel at how absolutely beautiful my lil one is. She's such a sweet person! A loving, funny, thoughtful daughter who never fails to make the people around her feel important. She always makes it a point to give me a hug and a warm embrace or two, for no particular reason. And I feel like I am the most blessed person on earth.
Just before breakfast, we called up my lil sister, Tita C, to just talk about anything. At this early, we start cooking lil one's birthday party. So we began talking about party favors and Coco's preferences. We always have these "conference calls", to just talk about mundane little things.
Yes, I am a firm believer in a little bit of effort goes a long way. And investing time on people that matters to you is investing in solid relationships.
My friend T, who recently broke up with her beau, found herself being called demanding for wanting to spend some Q time in between work days. In my opinion, the man didn't deserve to be even loved by her. Such a waste of precious emotion and precious time!
You know, EXBF M, if you aren't willing to invest a bit of time on my friend T, then you are not worthy of being invested some bit of emotion. Whattajackass!!
But you know, he may have his reasons. For whatever they may be, I still don't wanna hear the stupidity of all of it. LOL He should try searching responsibility and breeding in the dictionary, and while at it, maybe try to absorb the meaning too.
On the lighter note, here are a few Coco one liners that made me feel really good: laugh when:
* Coco demanded that i GOOGLED her favorite lullaby, and that it's in YouTube and that I should "Search it Bahhh"
* She said at night she becomes the little mermaid, with long flowing hair. And that I transform to being Cinderalla. (Wowwwww- I wonder if my pumpkin of a prince will show up at the ball)
* She made puking sounds when I told her we have fish paksiw (in native vinegar) for breakfast.. And i quickly stifled a laugh knowing that she got this aversion towards the smell and taste of vinegar from me. LOL
* Last night, she off handedly called me "Super Mommie"
* Lola Grandma gave her two slices of papaya yesterday, and she left one in the ref cuz she saved it for me.. (aww) Coco: para maka poops ka ma. LOL
* She laughed before closing her eyes. AND I asked, what's so funny? Coco said: Tawa nalang ko Ma, kai sige lang ka trabaho. (WOOOOOHH)
And my most favorite realization for today came from Coco:
THAT we should spend some bit of our time with the people who matter most to us. Otherwise, the relationship is not as important as we would like to claim.
