AKO SI KIM SAM SUNG... hehehe

I went to my first baking class at the International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management (ISCAHM)last Friday. It was great. With a single type of dough, we were able to come up with several types of pastries and other baked goods.

These were mostly coffee shop favorites. Mahal kapag binili sa coffee shops or specialty bakeshops, kaya naaliw ako... hehe. Now I can make my own baked treats.

ONE STEP AT A TIME

I love this Jordin Sparks song. It is so positive and uplifting. I suggest that you listen to it anytime you feel blue... or even if you don't, it will surely make you feel good. CLICK THIS to download music.



ONE STEP AT A TIME

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
It’s the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus]
Take one step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

[Chorus]
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

ON MY WAY TO YOU

I have tried to get a copy of this Streisand song literally for years. This is one of my obscure personal favorites. Click here to download music.



ON MY WAY TO YOU

Music by M. Legrand; Lyrics by A. Bergman & M. Bergman

So often as I wait for sleep
I find myself reciting
The words I've said or should have said
Like scenes that need rewriting
The smiles I never answered
Doors perhaps I should have opened
Songs forgotten in the morning
I relieve the roles I've played
The tears I may have squandered
The many pipers I have paid
Along the roads I've wandered
Yet all the time I knew it
Love was somewhere out there waiting
Though I may regret a kiss or two
If I had changed a single day
What went amiss or went stray
I may have never found my way to you
If I had changed a single day
What went amiss or went stray
I may have never found my way to you
I wouldn't change a thing that happened
On my way to you

A Different Path

I'm excited about my new school!
I just wish things will work out well.
Wish me luck!

NOT IN YOUR LIFE!

It's just a pity that you wouldn't be able to see me go through my morning rituals. I would nestle a mug of coffee in my hands and ascend towards a state of nothingness for the duration of my caffeine consumption. You would have had the chance to tease me for this oddity and we would both laugh about it… Too bad, there won't be any laughter for you.

After which, I would listen to the music that would best fit my mood at that moment. Had you been there, I would be humming along some blissfully romantic love song that would express how wonderful life is with you in it and how you bring out the best in me… Sadly, you won't be able to witness anything like that and there will be no music for you.

I doubt if anyone whom we mutually know would even tell you how I enjoy every minute that we spend time together because there was and there won't be such time anymore. You won't get to experience how to be loved and be cared for the way that only I know how. There won't be any show of special attention that only my passionate heart can provide. None of these will ever happen to you…. Not in your life!

It would've been good for you if I could include you in my prayers every hour of the day and only wish great things to come your way. But then, I guess you would just have to look out for yourself.

Nothing could be more sincere and intense than the devotion that I could willingly offer. Unfortunately, you would just have to settle for someone who is obviously less.

For a moment, try to imagine living without all these… without me. Then, imagine how I feel, right now, going through my own life … with the thought that I could never be loved by you.
