Taylor Swift - The Story Of Us

Taylor Swift - Teardrops On My Guitar

Taylor Swift - Teardrops On My Guitar

A Town Mouse and a Country Mouse were friends. The Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The Town Mouse came and they sat down to a dinner of barleycorns and roots the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavour.

The flavour was not much to the taste of the guest and presently he broke out with “My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare! My larder is a regular horn of plenty. You must come and stay with me and I promise you shall live on the fat of the land."

So when he returned to town he took the Country Mouse with him and showed him into a larder containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates.

The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided. But before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and some one came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again. But some one else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. "Good bye," said he, "I'm off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace."

Places to Visit:

Honda Bay Island Hopping – It is 30 minutes north of the City proper. A pumpboat can load as much as 20 persons per trip. There are many dive sites which are studded with reefs and aquatic wonders.

Islands to visit are a) Snake Island – named such because of its shape. 3 steps away from the beach you can see schools of fish but be careful because 5 meters away is a very deep part of the sea. It will be wise to bring old bread to lure the fish. b) Pandan Island – a small island where the island hoppers usually have their lunch. A tree which resembles a brain can be found just above the water. c) Cannon (Cowrie) Island d) Bat Island e) Lu-li Island ( from the word “lulubog – lilitaw” – visible only during low tide f) Meara Marina – lodging facilities are available here g) Starfish Island – its water teems with starfish.

Puerto Princesa (St. Paul) Subterranean River National Park. The worst 1 1/2 hour bumpy road I’ve taken. A five-minute boat ride from Sabang will take you to the underground river station, where outrigger oats await cave explorers. It is a world heritage site. It is a navigable 8.2 kms underground river. For the stalactites and stalagmites fanatics, it is indeed a wonder. But for me, the bumpy ride made my natural art appreciation flew into the air. You are bound to see rock formations and doomed amphitheaters. The guides will suggest that the rocks take the form of the Holy Family, Felix the Cat, corn, etc. as you wind through the caves. Vivid imaginations! Be prepared to immerse yourself in the smell of bat urine.

Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (formerly Crocodile Farming Institute). The place was built to preserve and conduct research studies on the endangered species of crocodiles. For Php50.00, you can have your picture taken with a crocodile. It has a mini-zoo featuring some of Palawan’s endemic animals like ostrich.

Calauit Game Preserve & Wildlife Sanctuary. Home of the exotic African animals and endangered endemic animals of Palawan. It is located at Busuanga, Palawan.

Tabon Caves. “Cradle of the Philippine Civilization” It consists of a series of chambers where anthropologists discovered the remains of crude man and his tools. It is a 29-cave complex. It is located in Lipuan Island, Quezon, Palawan. Travel time: 3-4 hours by bus or jeepney to Quezon and 20-30 minutes boat ride from pier to the caves.

Tubbattaha Reefs. Marine sanctuary located in the middle of Central Sulu Sea. It is also a World Natural Heritage. Located in Cagayanillo town. From the City it will take you approximately 12 hours of boat ride. This requires a minimum of six weeks planning prior to departure.

Coron Reefs. Its main lure is the seven enchanting lakes seemingly protected by rough limestone cliffs. Principal dive sites are the 12 World War 2 Japanese shipwrecks that sunk on September 1944. Very affordable lodgings are available. There is a 3 day package for this from Manila. The ship leaves Manila Pier on a Friday and returns to Manila on Monday.

Trip Tips:

*Bring you mask, snorkel and aqua shoes when island hopping. If you don’t own one, it can be rented at Sta. Lourdes Wharf.
*Bring a towel when you go to the underground river to cover your nose. You may take the 10-15 minute boat ride to this place instead of the jeepney ride which is not good for people with vertigo.
*Palawan is also the home of “dugong” (sea cows). It can be found at the El Nido Marine Reserve.
*Kayaking is also available in the island.
*Archeological Explorations is an activity that you can do in Tabon Cave, Palawan.
*Baragatan sa Palawan – celebration of the founding of the government of Palawan. Celebrated every 3rd week of June.
*Tricycle is the main mode of transportation here.
*Ka Lui is a restaurant to visit. The restaurant requires clients to remove their shoes when entering the dining area. Order their sleazy fruit desserts – not for the conservative. Though food is not exceptionally great, there aren’t many good restaurants in Palawan so this is worth your visit.
*Viet Ville Restaurant. This is home of the remaining few Vietnamese refugees. If you are a lover of Vietnamese food – this is authentic. You can buy their famous bread and noodles as pasalubong. The jackfruit preserve snack is worth tasting.
* Rurungan sa Tubod – place to buy ethnic fabrics, great placemats and table runners
* When buying crabs or other sea foods, go to the market at 5am. There are also a wide variety of dried fishes. Be sure to buy cashew nuts.
*Wood icons and accessories can also be a good buy.
* Trashcans can be found even in the farthest place so be very careful about throwing candy wrappers or tissues. Respect their value for cleanliness.

Palawan can be compared to a young love … pure and simple. It remains untainted despite the complexities of the realities of life. It holds you in awe despite its flaws that one failed to see. The heart remains pure and giving. The mind undoubtful of intentions. It is pure beauty and unconditional love in its altruistic sense. A love that is rare … when you grow old. It is a smile in one’s memory, a familiar song and warmth in heart.

Parable of the Rose

Parable of the Rose

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?"

Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and before it was ready to bloom, it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God like qualities planted in us at birth growing amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within others.

This is the characteristic of love--to look at a person and know their true faults. Accepting that person into your life, while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help them to realize that they can overcome their faults. If we show them the rose, they will conquer their thorns.

Only then will they blossom many times over.

As I always say some people grumble that roses have thorns I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Mahal kita alan mo ba! pero asan ka na?? by: Julius Enriquez

Mahal kita alan mo ba!  

 Pero asan ka na?? 

by: Julius Enriquez

Sa unang araw ng ating pagkikita 

Di ko alam kung ako ay minamalikmata 

Natameme ako sa taglay mong katangian 

Itoy naging palatandaan sa puso't isipan  

Tuwing ikay nakikita ko sa araw-araw

Parang ako ay natutunaw 

Ito na ba ang sinasabing pag-ibig?

Ito ang sabi ng puso at ng bibig

Minsan nasabi ko na ako ngayo'y aamin 

Ikay hinanap ng aking paningin 

Nasaktan ako ng pag-ibig noy sa iba ibinaling 

Itinago ko at kinain ang aking nais iparating 

Sa totoo lang nais kong sabihin

Noong ibinaling mo sa iba ang iyong pagtingin

Na mundo ko'y parang nawalan na ng hangin

Nanatiling pangarap na sana akoy iyong mahalin.

                After choosing our sponsors, i decided to have a shopping at the mall which is manage by Kimberly. When  I am on my way to the mall, I saw the beautiful models on the big and wide billboard  and i was amazed co'z they are my classmates in high school. They are Dinessa,Via,Judy-Ann,and Danica. Because of it I panned that they will be my bridesmaids in my wedding. So, I picked-up my phone and contact them. And invited them in my mansion and I will show to them my well designed gowns and dresses.


              As I enter the mall, one tall girl captured my attention. I was shocked when she glanced at me and it was Rowelalyn Calilap who wears a glamorous dress. So, I chat with her for a while and I invited her also to my wedding. She that she is now busy in preparing herself because she will be bringing the name of our homeland the Philippines. And she will compete for the crown of the Miss Universe. And after that i left her in the mall.




             After my shopping, I decided to eat in the Italian restaurant. As i go through the restaurant, I heard the people were screaming "Erica!"Erica comes immediately to my mind. She is my classmate in high school. And I was shocked as i read from the internet that she was one of the sexiest girl in the Philippines.

            As I enter to the restaurant, I read from the transparent  window " Property of Rose Ann" And I remembered Rose Ann. She entertained me   even though she was busy. She shared what happens to our other classmates when I was abroad for studies. She said that Clydel and Jociebby  are now good artist.  They now owned an art gallery in cabalian near the secondary school of cabalian.

As I scan the pages of the magazine,I saw the collection of Lilian Mae and Mariah  Nicole . So I contact her to the number given in the magazine. I said that Lilian will design my wedding gown and Mariah  Nicole will design the gowns of the bridesmaids,maid of honor, and the flower girls. After that I got the remote control of my touchscreen television. As the TV opened there is a commercial of 4 boys and these boys were Louie,Kevin,Carlito, and John Lloyd they were the member of the yacht ridding club it is the club in which all the members are millionaires and exclusively for boys only.




           On the next day, my best friend Aiza Rabi the famous donya in osao  called me. She want me to attend on her birthday party.So I went to the beauty salon. I was surprised that Shaira owned this beauty salon?? She treated me on the hair re bonding and hoy oil on my hair. We were in the middle of chika when my phone rang, the caller was unknown. When I answered the call, the voice looks familiar. I was speechless when she said that she was Cieny which is the famous and popular architect in the Philippines and also in the other part  of the world because of her sketch. She just heard from Roes Ann that I will going to be marry, so she said that she will be able to design  a house for me and my husband.She also said that Rielren Mae will be the interior designer of the house. Yet, I decide to leave the salon and go to the nearest coffee shop which is the property of Princess Jean.

And I saw the beautiful and wonderful bridesmaid wearing a gorgeous gown designed by Mariah Nicole. And the Maid of Honor assisting me to  my wedding gown on the way to the altar and it is designed by Lilian Mae Ramos. I was so happy on that day at the same time nervous . co'z I will be able to be the wife of the handsome and charming guy? I felt that I am so blessed because GOD  gave me the real guy  that will love me until the end of my life.

 

Back to December

By: Taylor Swift

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why

Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time

These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call

Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry

Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time
