.:: 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.

Mesmerized by Lea's Voice
It's not really that it was only now that I felt this. I have always been drawn by Lea's voice. She was actually someone I look up to when it comes to singing. I like her voice very much and I had actually liked to copy her style and her voice since I was a kid, elementary days to be exact. I also like to songs she sing, it gives me that ethereal or magical feeling, her voice was so apt for songs being used as soundtrack in Disney movies and in musicals. I really like it.

It was just only now that I thought of searching of things about her, when I once heard one of her songs again. Honestly, I don't really like her voice that much anymore now compared to how I liked it when she was in the height of her broadway career. It was actually her voice quality then that I'm after. I have almost forgotten that I can find almost everything now in the internet because I got so occupied of the things I acquired eventually as I grow old. I have even almost forgotten that I like Lea's voice, and in fact I thought that some of the new artists have already taken her place, but no. When I read her achievements when she was doing the Miss Saigon and some broadway musicals and Disney songs, I can't help but get amazed at how far she've gone in the musical industry.

Youtube is really a wonder, although I just got a feedback from Kuya Pao recently that a lot have been complaining about the site due to copyright infringements. But it was there that I saw some of Lea's videos that I would have been delighted to have watched then. I like her most when she was still young. She has a very pure voice.

Here are some of my favorite videos and I'd like to share it with you.





This was when Lea auditioned for Miss Saigon and got the part of Kim, the lead role. I can't help but giggle whenever I see the look on the faces of the people who listened in when Lea sang one of the songs in the play. In fact they are not just ordinary onlookers. They are Nicholas Hytner the Director, Cameron Mackintosh the Producer, and Alain Boublil the Composer. Claude-Michel Schonberg is the one on the piano, also a composer. The extreme satisfaction is obvious in their faces! Obvious that they've found the right perfect artist for their lead female character. She really is amazing. ^_^





And this is Lea's interview in UK.

There was even a video of her wedding. I like the part where she sang her vows. Awww! So sweet! Her groom cried. It was so touching.

Lea is one of the reasons why I'm still proud being a Filipino in spite of some of the bad things the world has been hearing about us, I won't enumerate it here anymore. Our country has been home for a lot of talented singers, in fact the Miss Saigon has never had one show that did not have a Pinoy cast, be it lead or just one of the supporting characters. Ang galing talaga, kakabilib! ^_^

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

Birthday: June 2

Hobbies & Interests: Jesus, music, books, journals, internet, computers, tech stuff, gadgets * sound tripping, singing, playing musical instruments (I know guitar and flute recorder, I just wish I can play them well), watching movie with a tub of popcorn drizzled with melted butter (yum!), reading * observing, pondering, reflecting, learning * laughing or making people laugh (though I'm not good at it) and laugh with them, make people smile, or just listen to their stories. 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. "I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 NLT

Principles I live by:

"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
