Another Day in a Dream Called Life

My eyes were still swollen after having come from a bad spat with my mother when he texted me an instruction to peek in the peep hole. Seeing him was such a ray of light amidst my storm. He made me smile. He pulled me to the side after I stepped out of the unit. It was then that I saw the bouquet of flowers hidden. I let out a yelp because I was unexpecting the flowers. I just came out of a spat and right then just a hug would have done the trick.

I guess I was unable to show my appreciation much because he thought I did not like the bouquet that much. Truth be told, I loved them, they were a bunch of gerberas and roses and a couple of bears hugging each other tight. It was the cutest bouquet I have ever gotten. It was unfortunate that I failed to take a nice picture of them.

He wanted to give me the flowers when the clock struck twelve! Isn't he the sweetest? He hasn't had any dinner when he delivered the flowers.

The following day, my eyes were so swollen, my students thought I had a bad break up the night before. I was able to get through my only class... after which I had to head home to prepare my surprise for him.

The surprise never materialized though... Oh well... Maybe next time. I had to rush to the nearest mall to remedy the boo boo that I did. We met up at around thirty minutes past seven to go to their house and get his car. It was his color coding day and so we had to get his car first.

While in the bus, he brought out a gift wrapped in bond paper. He made me promise first not to laugh. It seemed like a CD so I was wondering why he was so worried that I might laugh. I opened the gift and true enough, it was a CD. It said...

Serenades From My Heart

You
Hero
Ordinary Song
Naaalala Ka
Wherever You Will Go
One in a Million You
Closer You and I


These are the songs that he sings to me at Videoke sessions. I was flattered. I proceeded to open the jewel case curious of the inlay card. Inside, there was a picture of the two of us from our 9th month celebration. I then diverted my attention to the CD. A line caught my eye, Sing Like a Pro!!!. I wondered... I thought that was unusual for a blank CD to say... and then I looked at the bigger label... Karaoke King! It took me a split second to get all giddy and excited! I could not wait to hear the CD! He is soh cute!!! I can't believe how creative he was. How many guys can come up with such an idea? How many guys can muster the courage to do this? And then I thought about how people would gather around the booth everytime somebody would sing... I cannot imagine what he subjected himself into. The risk he took so he can come up with such a thoughtful gift. This is definitely going to my iPod.

I got to listen to the CD when we were at his house. Every part of me wished that every word is indeed how he feels about me.

We proceeded to West Gate after we got his car. We saw his former boss at Amkor with his new team. I saw a grade school classmate with her parents, a yaya and a toddler. I wondered if that was her kid. My boyfriend thinks that was her kid. I was amazed at how she has a kid already. I wondered if I could have one of my own too and if I could manage to take good care of a child.

We got to eat a lot... Darn. I must shed some extra pounds. We were serenaded by a group after we ate. It was really nice. What makes it soh nice is that I was with my baby! After dinner we headed to Starbucks to hang out for a while. We talked about what we have observed about Valentine's Day and I told him about how much I loathed the day before.

I had a great time! Yesterday was the best Valentine's Day! Then again, everyday seems like Valentine's Day with my baby around.

Thanks love!

Ordinary Song
Just an ordinary song
To a special girl like you
From a simple guy
Who's so in love with you

I may not have much to show
No diamonds a glow
No limousines
To take you where you go

But if you ever find yourself
Tired of all the games you play
When all the world seems so unfair
You can count on me to stay
Just take sometime to lend an ear
To this ordinary song

Just an ordinary song
To a special girl like you
From a simple guy
Who's so in love with you

I don't even have the looks
To make you glance my way
The clothes I wear
May just seem so absurd

But deep inside of me is you
You give life to what I do
All those years may see you thru
Still I'll be waiting here for you
If you have time
Pls lend an ear to this ordinary song

Just an ordinary song
To a special girl like you
From a simple guy
Who's so in love with you..

One in a Million You
Love has played its games on me so long.
I started to believe I'd never find anyone,
that could try to convince me to give in.
Said you can't win.

But one day the sun came shining through.
The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue.
And oh, what a revelation to see...
someone was saying "I love you" to me.

One in a million, chance of a lifetime.
Life showed compassion,
and sent to me a stroke of luck called you...
a one in a million you.

I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill.
Until I found a piece of paradise to call my own.
And life is worth living again.
For, to love you, to me, is to live.

Wherever You Will Go
So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

[Chorus:]
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

[Chorus]

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

You
You give me hope,
The strength, the will to keep on;
No one else can make me feel this way
And only you
Can bring out all the best I can do;
I believe you turn the tide
And make me feel real good inside.

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

Hero
(Whispered) Let me be your hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?

(Chorus)
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus

I just want to hold you (2x)
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus (2x)

You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero

Naaalala Ka
Kay sarap ng may minamahal
Ang daigdig ay may kulay at buhay
At kahit na may pagkukulang ka
Isang halik mo lang limot ko na

Kay sarap ng may minamahal
Asahan mong pag-ibig ko'y tunay
Ang nais ko'y laging kapiling ka
Alam mo bang tanging ligaya ka?

Sa tuwina'y naaalala ka
Sa pangarap laging kasama ka
Ikaw ang ala-ala sa 'king pag-iisa
Wala nang iibigin pang iba

Oh, naaalala ka
Sa pangarap laging kasama ka
Ikaw ang ala-ala sa 'king pag-iisa
Wala nang iibigin pang iba...

Closer You and I
Hey, there's a look in your eyes
Must be love at first sight
You were just part of a dream
Nothing more so it seemed
But my love couldn't wait much longer
Just can't forget the picture of your smile
'Coz everytime I close my eyes
You come alive

The closer I get to touching you
The closer I get to loving you
Give it a time
Just a little more time
We'll be together
Every little smile
That special smile
The twinkle in your eye
In a little while
Give it a time
Just a little more time
So we can get closer
You and I

Then could I love you more
So much stronger than before
Why does it seem like a dream
So much more so it seems
I guess I found my inspiration
With just one smile, you take my breath away
So hold me close
And say you'll stay with me now

The closer I get to touching you
The closer I get to loving you
Give it a time
Just a little more time
We'll be together
Every little smile
That special smile
The twinkle in your eye
In a little while
Give it a time
Just a little more time
So we can get closer
You and I
