I AM by Lifestone

Do you know who made the sun?
Where you there to see the light?
Have you seen my face?
I’m not ready to come down

I’ve known you from the start
You shine like the stars
I know where you are
And I know where you hide

Ref:
And I love you more than life

Chor:
I gave my only son
Just to take away your sins
Taking all your shame
Is that enough for you to love me?
Love me one more time
and you'll see how great I am
cause' I am your life

Who lifted you when you’re down?
Who made you bold and stand?
Did you ever thank me for what I've done?
I only need your heart

Praise me with all your heart
Do things for me with love
I am here to be loved
And I am here to love you

Ref:
And I love you more than life

Rep. Chor:

Bridge:
I am the God of love
I am the everlasting love
cause' I am
Your life…


This is the first song we recorded for our upcoming debut album. Please feel free to post suggestions or reactions for the lyrics. Thank you.

My N6680: A Gift From A Gift

Last January was a hard time for me (exaggerating). I lost my N2600c phone on my way back home to Iligan. It was 5 o’clock in the morning when the boat arrived at the pier of Cagayan de Oro and I was still very sleepy. I rode a jeepney from the pier to the bus terminal and didn’t even notice that a man, who sat beside me, slipped his hand inside my pocket to grab my phone. Sad thing was I didn’t feel anything. Maybe because I was drowsy or because of the heavy bag I placed on my lap. I even saw the man jump out of the vehicle when we swerved to road leading to the terminal. Funny thing was that it never crossed my mind that he had my phone. I only knew it when I got out of the jeepney, in front of the bus terminal. And so there goes my phone (the one my bheiby gave me).

 

Just last week, I was very happy (understatement) because I realized that what had happened may have been a blessing in disguise. My bheiby – my true gift – gave me another phone – a Nokia 6680 S60v2 Symbian Smartphone that I longed to have.

 

The phone contained all the basic features that I have longed for in a Smartphone. The best thing was that it supports Symbian OS which supports more than a thousand apps on the market. Until now, I still enjoy looking on the internet for apps that I would really need in my daily activities. To make life more easier I guess. Besides, that’s what Smartphone’s were intended to do, right?

 

Truly, the best gift that ever happened to me is not the new handset I received, but my loving bheiby who continues to support me in all of my endeavors. She is a heaven-sent present that won’t be replaced by any gadget, or anything for that matter. 

PRISONBREAK Season 4

     At long last, I finally have the leisure time to continue watching my favorite action series. More than six months of grueling tasks (mostly studies) hindered me from sitting/lying down and watching it, from noon until midnight – quite some feat for me since I eventually get bored watching TV/movies. But not this series.

 

     This is a must-watch for those who enjoy watching series’ with hanging endings. The main character has one of the most brilliant minds in TV today. If you have time, watch it from the first to the fourth season – you’ll end it in more than a week probably. 

Blabbering of a Sleep-Deprived Person

Am I the sole the survivor or are there plenty of us that are lost in the river banks while others are drifting away for they are caught in the strong current?

Do I have a choice?

Emotions bring meaning to us. It makes us believe that we really are human. In my case, I proved I am normal. Being normal doesn't mean I know my inner self.

For more than 2 months now, I have been waiting for something to happen on this miserable life. "I must be condemned", as I would put it. I stare at something distant without even looking at something specific. People pass and go on through with their routines around this house and I am here writing this--whatever this is.

People around me tend to be drawing farther from my inner circle. I find myself blankly staring at grand sceneries. Imagining what life would be if time turned backwards. Wondering if people would still walk upright.

Didn't you even wonder how that would be?

We have been born to believe that reality supersedes fantasies as the norm. While this may be true for most of us, there are others who still believe in supernatural beings. Is God a reality or a packet of our imagination? Can science prove that atheists have been right all along?

On the moment of writing this, plenty of similar questions showing uncertainties are being asked. A mob gathers to worship their deities while on the other side of town another group of people are proving them wrong.

Who will win in the end?

Who are to be called insane?

The ones who believe in what they see or the ones who just want to believe?

These are questions yet to be answered. There is no absolute answer to any question. Another question leads to another.

LOOKING FOR A JOB THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS?

oDesk.com - The Marketplace for Online Workteams and Freelancers

The best approach to online work is the one that creates success for both buyers and providers. As the first and only service to guarantee that an hour billed is an hour worked and that an hour worked is an hour paid, oDesk has long held these Manifesto principles dear.

Please consider the Manifesto a declaration: Don't settle for less than you deserve.

As a provider, you have the right to:

• Get guaranteed payment for the time you work
• Avoid the hassle of creating invoices and time sheets
• Live where you want, work when you want, on the jobs you want
• Set your own hourly rate based on your skills, experience and reputation
• Access jobs around the world

• Know the identity, skills and experience of every team member
• Pay your global online team without the hassle of payroll and taxes

I personally think of this as a good job opportunity for those service providers who are looking for part-time employment around the globe without the need to travel/transfer to another location. They can do the job at home and work anytime they want. 

It might be hard to look for an job and get hired at first but there are plenty of new openings every month. The best thing about it is that oDesk.com does the work of listing the jobs and categorize them according to the skills you can provide. You can subscribe to their email service, which sends you the jobs and skills you enlisted for, or you can look on the website for them.

AS LONG AS THERE ARE BUYERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL EXIST!!!

Ponder on that for a moment and see for yourself. This might be your door to having a part-time job that might turn out to be your job for the next days, months, or years to come.

The Poem That Started It All

Invictus

by Sir William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903

OUT of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbow'd.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.
