.:: Goldi's Noted Thoughts ::.
Sometimes I believe all the lies
so I can do the things I should despise.
And everyday I am swayed
by whatever is on my mind.

I hear it all depends on my faith
so I'm feeling precarious.
The only problem I have with these
mysteries is they're so mysterious.

And like a consumer I've been thinkin'
if I could just get a bit more...
More than my fifteen minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure...

My faith is like shifting sand,
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

I begged You for some proof
for my Thomas eyes to see.
A slithering staff, a leprous hand,
and lions resting lazily.

A glimpse of Your backside glory
on this soaked altar going ablaze.
But You know I've seen so much,
I explained it away...

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace

Waters rose as my doubts reign
My sand castle faith have slipped away
I found myself standing on Your grace
It'd been there all the time

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

Life can seem unbearable at times, but don't let it keep you down. Meditate on God's goodness, talk to Him, and know that He hears you. When life knocks you to your knees, you're in a good position to pray.

My Guitar
okay na 'to sa kin, heheheJust thought of writing something out of the blue...

I just woke up from a short nap. It's 5 o'clock in the morning and I am here at the office. I decided to read my Daily Bread devotional during downtime. I fell asleep while I was praying (oh, how bad), thanking God for what I've read. It hit me so I prayed and said sorry, but I didn't know I fell asleep =(.

This is really nothing about reflection, although that's the thing I like most to write about. I just like to put whatever is in my head right now into writing.

I've been thinking of getting a guitar. It's been quiet a while since I last played the last guitar I've had, which was my fourth piece. I've had four guitars all in all, each have been replaced because it gets broken. The last one I've had was the one I like most, because it has a pick-up. And because of carelessness, it got broken again. The first 3 I had though, were broken because my mom would slam it out of annoyance. Naiinis na sa kin kasi yun ang hawak ko bawat minuto, hindi na ko mautusan. Pero each time it gets broken naman, they'll buy a new one. I think they saw the desire in me to really play the instrument and they find it fun din naman siguro so as long as I play, they buy it.

okay din 'toI started playing when I was 13, my second year in high school, the time I had the eagerness to learn about the instrument. It all started with the thinking "wow! and astig kapag marunong kang mag-guitar!" So I resolved to learning it in any way I can find. I noticed that I have a great liking in music when I was in my late elementary days, but the music I like then was the music of the 80's, being the local rap as the popular genre. Yung mga panahon na kausuhan ng mga kanta nina Andrew E., Michael V., Lady Dianne, Francis M... yun. Hahaha! I laugh when I remember. Tanda ko nun, memoryadong memoryado ko yung Humanap Ka ng Pangit. At aliw na aliw ako kapag nabibigkas ko ng malinaw ang mabibilis na salita sa rap songs. Though my parents used to make me sing The Greatest Love of All and I love to sing Tomorrow, tapos idol ko nun si Leah Salonga, but I didn't know then that I can sing well. Basta alam ko, nire-record pa yun ng parents ko. They don't tell me I can carry a tune.

So it all started with the desire to look astig to my friends, to the combining of my innate music liking. I changed the genre of music I listen to when I started to learn to play, shifting to alternative and love songs, those that can easily be played in the guitar. No one in the family was really playing the guitar so naturally, we don't have one when I started liking it. But seeing my playmates, the guy ones, every afternoon holding their guitars in front of their houses, I associated myself with them out of eagerness with the instrument. Sabi ko turuan nila ko. I tried to learn with them, but they don't have the eagerness to teach me. And they said it'd be easier to learn if I have my own. Kasi nga naman, tinutugtog din nila yung sa kanila no. Kaya kinulit ko ngayon parents ko bumili ng guitar and they did naman.

Ang haba na ng kwento ko ha...

I don't play well, but I know how to. I'm already happy when I can play a whole song, no matter how simple it is, and sing it with all my heart while playing. Wala lang, gusto ko lang. But of course, I'd like to be more versatile, being able to play other techniques.

Now, I am thinking what to buy, since I would be using my own money na to buy myself a guitar. It was only now that I decided to buy my next after how many years na din kasi, I made it a point muna to save some money, be able to help my family financially, and buy the more important things. The most expensive I got then was my last, which my father got for 1,500 bucks, second hand. Magkano kaya dapat kong budget? I want a guitar that's slim but sounds nice, easy to play with, and can be amplified na, or yung may equalizer. Kaya lang susme, pinakamurang nakita ko eh 7,000. Sabagay, isang store pa lang naman ang tiningnan ko. I am not ready yet to spend that amount of money for a guitar. Hindi naman ako tutugtog sa banda. And besides, I have younger siblings who'd also be using it so hindi praktikal. Ano bang magagawa ko kung mabasag nila yun? Sorry lang ang makukuha ko.

Sana makabili ako ng guitar na gusto ko.

LSS: Falling by Keahiwai
I loved this song first time I heard it. Hanggang ngayon, LSS ko pa din sya, ilang weeks na ^_^. I hope I can play this (and sing at the same time ^.~) with a guitar some day.. and I hope that'd be sooner!


Falling
words and music by Keahiwai

I wanna tell you baby that you're the one that I'm thinking of
But your heart is still with her and I think she's the one that you love
I only want you happy even if it's not with me
Maybe one day you'll open up your eyes and you'll see

That I think I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think i'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you

From the first time you laid your lips on mine
It feels like the smile on my face will last till the end of time
But im not so sure if you're the one that I should pursue
My mind tells me no but my heart only says that it's you

That i think I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think I'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you

Only time will tell
The mystery has yet to unfold
Who's gonna feel love's warmth
And the other left in the cold

Yet still I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think i'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you
That I think i'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think im falling
Baby I'm falling for you


Hmmm... wondering if this is also the state of my heart? Uyyy.. intriga yan! Hehehe... I don't really know (^_^). But I'm happy. ;-)

Still, my first love is Jesus. Who's my second love? That's something I am yet to find out (^.~)

Ey! This is my 100th post! Hahaha! Wala masyado wenta entry ko =p.

About This Blog
I don't intend this to be my life's chronicles but I might write some of my experiences here. Even so, everything that's written in here are either products of my excessive contemplation, or just plainly, pure boredom. In any case, I still try to write as sensible as possible, for what I really intend to do and I hope is achieved in every writing, is to impart or share some of the things I learn and sometimes, some struggles in life. Don't expect all seriousness in everything in here though.

In short, this blog is my outlet. My noted thoughts and reflections.

About Me

Minsan, trip ko lang din mang-asar =p

About Me: I'm a simple, idealistic but down-to-earth, & friendly person. Quiet most of the time, but friendly enough to have a nice talk (or even a hearty laugh) with anyone.

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." -Psalm 37:4

"If people talk negatively about you, live in such a way that no one will believe them."

"God is a God of happy endings. If you're not yet happy, it's not yet the end."

"It's not what we know but what we do that counts." -Our Daily Bread

"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." -Dumbledore, Harry Potter 2

"Girls should assume that until a guy expresses interest, they're just friends." -J. Harris, Boy Meets Girl

"True love doesn't just wait; it plans." -Boy Meets Girl

"Eros will have naked bodies; friendship naked personalities." -C.S. Lewis

"Ideals are like stars; we will not succeed in touching them with our hands but by following them, as the sea faring man in the ocean, we will reach our destiny." -J. Harris, Boy Meets Girl
