So Close

After about a month of dead air, I'm back with a new LSS which is the Theme Song of the movie Enchanted [haven't watched it yet though ;o;]

You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching
That famous happy ending
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far
We are
So close...

Oh, how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close to reaching
That famous happy ending
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
Though we know we are
So close
So close, and still
So far...

Bittersweet song..

A Letter to God

Yesterday must have been one of the most emotional Sundays in my life as the youth pastor decided to detach himself from the mother church. That leaves just me and two other facilitators to manage the youth ministry. A bit shaken, but still coping up. But one thing that I did that will look odd to most people just happened- we made a letter to God expressing what we wanted and what we long for that the church deserves. A two-page letter in which my brothers, wife and friends will sign and will be burned on Sunday because we believe smoke "goes to heaven" believing like small kids do.

Will it happen? Only God and time will tell.

Forever Starts Today

Few hours from now I'm going to be married with the girl that endured so much pain in the past just to be with me. The girl who was always there even before we saw each other. I guess that's what having a twinsoul is about. Someone to guide you and look after you even if you don't know each other- it is your heart that will dictate what to do.

Forever starts today. Days will be more meaningful and fruitful than before because everything will come into full circle. Destiny is fulfilled, love was sealed, faith is the foundation. It might look rushed and a bit out of nowhere but hey, love comes unexpectedly and you'll never know when you are in love until the time you are already enveloped by it.

Love comes with pain. But the tears have already been dried with the outburst of pure, pristine, love. Love endured, love cradled, and love stayed- hoping to be nurtured forever.

Forever starts today, and forever will commence in a journey that will tell the tale of a lovestory that may not be in books or award winning novels, but it will be eternally engraved into the hearts of those who knew the story- and those who took part of it.

Nursing Licensure Exams 2008 Results

Hmm I can't believe there are already new nurses that passed the recent licensure exams. It has been that long already and it seems so recent when I was actually one of the test takers. Another batch of hopefuls who will take a ride on the real world and implement what they have learned. New hopes, new goals, new life. Congratulations new nurses! :)

Here are the links if you want to know who passed:

Congratulations and God Bless to all of us.

Blessing a Woman named Blessie

Yesterday could be my most benign duty ever. I've completed my things and responsibilities before 6:00pm and for a minute there the word resignation faded from my book. But it's not the benign part which made my duty special- but a patient who almost lost her faith because of the condition she's going through.
She had two kids left in her hometown because her condition requires her to come in our institution. Her prognosis is that she might be on Hemodialysis for the rest of her life if the aggressive medication won't work. But that's not the issue actually, the issue is that she's been so independent all her life and this is the first time that she felt worthless and useless because she's sick.
Her sister approached me and told me about the problem and she's starting to give up and just die instead. This pinched my heart because I pity the kids if they're going to lose their mother.
I held her hand and tried to convince her that God won't give her problems she won't get through. That she should get a good grip on her faith now and everything will eventually turn out well. But she's not responding, she's just crying all along. I don't want to give up on her. I started to get firm with my words and ultimately this is what I said:

You may not know me, and I don't know you personally either. We don't know how long we're going to live but. Forget how concerned I am to you, as well as your relatives. But remember this, if you'll surrender now think about what's going to happen to your kids without you in their lives.

She stood up. I embraced her and told her to believe more and have more faith. She had her treatment.
We all have our problems that may seem unbearable to endure, but I know we'll have a solution for everything and that sunrise will be seen again. :)

Wind's Nocturne

One of the best songs [not to include flash animation] in my list. Based from a PSx RPG Lunar: The Silver Star Story, the song's title is Wind's Nocturne. But on this animation, it is about a cat waiting for her "star" to come. Seasons pass, but her faith is strong and unwavering.
But the conclusion of the story gave many points to ponder [at first I thought the cat died waiting because it looks like a burial of sorts until I noticed the footprints]. I realized that, you must not wait for your star whoever or whatever it is to come but instead, you must look for it. Quite profound and it touched me in so many levels. And this quotation is actually one of my current influences to hurdle things that happen every single day.

As the Wind Blows

I think it is already getting clear. I'm starting to have that rainbow I'm looking for. I may be tired or teary eyed, but I believe we'll all get through this. I may have committed something wrong in the past, but I know He won't let me down and He won't let me fail because He loves me the way He loves you. In the span of His arms, showing how much He loves you will be the eternal bond of promise.
As dandelions blow with the wind, cradled so far and so joyful- they never know where would destiny lead them but they seem to enjoy it.
I could remember one of my seniors at work said: Life could be so unfair, but you could expect the worse and actually experiencing the best. Each time I think about it, I feel a fresh breath of energy to work again. Well maybe it is unfair, but don't dwell on the unfair part because I'm sure you've experienced some of the best things in this world once in your life. So stay happy the way I do [or maybe I'm trying to].
