I Wish I Could...

"I Could" by Kimberly Locke

I could pretend to love you
Be someone else for awhile
Make you believe you're the one that I want
Give you my heart in disguise


I could be all you've wanted
Make all your dreams come true, yeah
Surrender my love at the feet of your will
And live out your fantasy for you


And you would be happy
And I'd make you smile
And I'd go on living a lie

Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you
Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you

I could make you a promise
Be all you want me to be
give you my hand as we walk down the isle

So you could live happily
And you would be happy
And I'd make you smile
And I'd go on living a lie


Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you
Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you

Cause this is not what I had planned
I hope one day that you will understand
If I could change this heart I would
And say I love you only if I could


Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you
I could be the one to hold you
I could be the one you need
But I could never be the one
To give you everything

I could be the one to hold you
I could be the one you need
But I could never be the one
To give you everything

I could be the one to hold you
I could be the one you need
But I could never be the one
To give you everything


Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you
Do you really want to give your life to
Thinking you found true love when it hasn't found you
When it hasn't found you

The Difference Vacation Makes

I know it's cliché a topic, but I'd like to declare that it really makes a difference spending some time-off from work, working out, and the usual everyday routine.

I just had a long weekend with friends at a resort away from where I work. Being detached from my laptop and in touch with nature refreshed my mind and spirit. It was not a perfect holiday (the food and service were bad, our best local resorts are better than the scenery), but we made the most out of what was presented to us. The group was full of fun people, so we were laughing and smiling most of the time, may it be a big or trivial thing before us.

The main water attraction of that resort had a long queue, so we thought of just having fun at a condotel with swimming pool. And we did, even if the water was just 3 ft deep. There was no big issue at hand, just how we respond to such things would determine the outcome of the situation.

The overall experience was not bad. What made it good is that we bonded. I'm looking forward to more vacations next year, even if the economic situation would be much worse.

I'm now back to work, but with a little more zeal than the usual. I'm a bit more eager and lucid to do my everyday tasks.

Isang Liham na Sinulat sa Gitna ng Hapong Puro Trabaho Pero ang Isip nasa Malayong Dako

Hi.

Di kasi ako makasulat, dahil di ko alam ang isusulat ko sa yo. Di ko alam kung magsisimula ba ko sa ‘sorry’ na apologetic, o sa ‘sorry’ na nalulungkot sa mga pinagdadaanan natin.

Nung sinabi mong ayaw mo na, natameme ako. May mabigat kang problema sa pamilya mo ngayon. Ayokong dumagdag sa pasakit ng isang sugatan, di dahil sa awa.

O baka nga awa.

Pero gusto kong malaman mo na nandito ako para sa iyo. Di ko na binanggit ang paglisan; mas marami ang dapat harapin kesa dapat takbuhan. Dahil may mga bagay na mahirap balikan, pag tuluyan nang tinalikuran.

Di rin naman madali ang lumaban. Lalo lang tayong mapapahamak. Pero ginusto nating manatili. Kaya kung kalbaryo man ang tinatahak natin, sana kayanin natin at lampasin.

Di ko alam kung bakit pinapasan mo ang krus na di dapat sa yo. Mahal mo nga, pero ano’ng kahihinatnan nito? Hanga ako sa abilidad mong kayanin ang lahat, pero hanggang saan ang kaya mong igapang?

Magpakatatag ka, mahal. Gumugulong pa rin ang tadhana.

Sex & the Sneezing

Sneeze and sex could be linked

PARIS—Women who suspect a man of having sex on the brain should listen out for a sneeze, as a pair of British doctors says that sneezing may be a sign of arousal.

In an unusual paper published on Friday in the prestigious Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Mahmood Bhutta and Harold Maxwell cite the case of an unnamed middle-aged patient who suffered uncontrollable fits of sneezing whenever he thought of sex.

Intrigued, the pair unearthed further evidence -- although less robust -- among anonymous Internet chat rooms, where 17 people of both sexes reported sneezing immediately upon thinking of sex and three others who said they sneezed after orgasm.

Bhutta, a specialist in ear, nose and throat medicine at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, said the phenomenon could be more widespread than thought and might even be inherited.

"It certainly seems odd, but I think this reflex demonstrates evolutionary relics in the wiring of a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system," Bhutta said.

"This is the part beyond our control, and which controls things like our heart rate and the amount of light let in by our pupils. Sometimes the signals in this system get crossed, and I think this may be why some people sneeze when they think about sex."

Bhutta said there were only one or two references to the sex-and-sneezing link in published medical literature.

The most recent was a letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1972 involving a 69-year-old men who complained of severe sneezing following orgasm.

But embarrassment or social inhibition may have prevented the topic from being aired, suggests Bhutta, who says further research could shed light.

This is interesting. I remember a friend who opened up to me, saying he consistently sneezes only when he thinks about incestuous thoughts right before he executes self-help in his room. He's still young (late 20's), though, and the sneezing was a remarkable sign for him coz it consistently happens. His case, nonetheless, was weird. I hope further research would clarify the link between sexual fantasies and sternutation.
