When I am lost
you shine a light for me and set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears
And take me through

The loneliness
And emptiness
Through the darkest night
Somehow I survive
Through it all

When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee

If I should fall
Your love is strong enough to lift me up
If I'm afraid
You chase away my fears
And take me to

A brighter place
Beyond the rain
And I feel alright
Because you're by my side
Through it all

When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee

You take me through
The loneliness and the emptiness
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side

Through it all
You tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
And baby all I have I want to give to thee

Want to give you all of my love
Now and forever my love
All I have I want to give to thee

I can't believe christmas is over. I was waiting for it the whole year coz it's my favorite holiday, it just flew me by....It wasn't a white christmas here in chicago though, but its okay, still it would have been nicer if it was, but oh well.

Spent half of my christmas at my aunt's new house. Their house was so big you won't be able to find each other right away. It was kinda far thought and the way there, the roads were so dark and scary. There were lots of food: turkey, ham, roast beef, kaldereta, mechado, turon, lechon, pancit...etc etc..everything's there.

And my cousin jonday was there too. I was surprised when i saw him, coz he's from New Jersey and I didn't know that he was coming here for christmas..coz the last time i talked to him he said that he may not be able to make it here on christmas.

Afterwards, i went to my boyfriend's house. I opened the presents that they gave me..and i also gave them their presents. Then, my bf played the PS2 game i gave him..first we tried SSX 3..cool game..and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun..another cool game..then i just stayed there, and we were talking almost the whole night.

Well, that's it for now.

Again, it's been a while since i've posted something here. I've been very very very busy with school lately especially right now coz it's almost the end of the semester. Thank god! Still, I find time to chill, hang-out, and relax with my friends and family and especially with my boyfriend, EJ. In fact, our 4th year mark just past yesterday, November 17th.

Right now im here at work. And my eyes are kinda strained already for being in front of the computer, but its okay. I was just playing tic-tac-toe with my friends/co-workers here at work a while ago coz we were on lunch break.

I also saw that movie "Kill Bill" a few weeks ago.

Very Very violent movie. It's has a different twist to it, I can say that Quentin Tarantino has a very creative mind and yet violent. hehehehe...there's a part in the movie when it suddenly changed to black and white because it's too graphic and violent. I kinda wanna see "Elf" it looks funny..and i've heard it is very funny.

And yah..they're playing christmas songs on the radio already coz next week, it's already Thanksgiving. But they keep playing the same christmas songs. Right now they're playing "I'll be home for christmas" it sounds depressing though..i'm gonna fall asleep.

Wow! I haven't posted anything here for a long long time. I've been so very busy specially with school. I have a lot of reading to do in my Physiology, Sociology, Human Physiology and Religion class. I have to take religion cause it's a graduation requirement at my school. And then, there's my work. In fact, I really need more hours here at work coz I'm only here for the whole day on Thursday and Tuesday. And i try to work for an hour in the morning and 1 1/2 hour in the afternoon on M-W-F. See, that's how bad I need the money. I will try to atleast get a few hours in.

And there's a lot of things that I want which I can't really get right now. First, I really need to go shopping, I'm running out of clothes. And I want this single lens camera, just like this one:

a laptop:

this nokia cell phone:

wow..thre's really a lot that I want right now, but i gotta save money first..hehehehe.

Sometimes the things we want the most are very hard to get. We just gotta work hard for it to be able to get it. :)

It's Monday again. I had a fun day yesterday. I went to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee Mills, IL with my boyfriend, EJ and his family. WE got there around 10:30 am or 11 am. We went on the rides right away, coz the lines were too long. By the way, it was just me, my boyfriend, his bro Andrew and his cousin Abbie were the ones who went on the rides..the older people we were with were scared to go on. LOL! We were gonna go on the new ride Superman, but the line was sooooooo long so we decided to go on it later. So the first ride we went on was THE BATMAN.

It was one smooth ride. So fun! We waited a long time to get on it, but it was worth it.
Then we went on THE IRON WOLF. It was the first time i rode this one. It's one of those rides where we have to stand up, but of course with a harness.

After those two consecutive rides, i got kinda dizzy. Good thing we've decided to rest for a while and meet up with my bf's parents and aunts. When we met up with them, we had a little snack, then we went to see one of the famous shows at Six Flags. We watched a live ice skating show called "Cold Fusion. It was awesome..it was the first time i saw a show like that. After the show we were all kinda hungry so we ate at this fast food joint called Moosehead. They had burgers there, but i just had the Chicken tenders. My favorite!
After we ate, of course we have to rest first before going back on the rides. So we watched another show called Merlin's Magicademy. It was kinda stupid. I think the guy is not even a real magician. LOL!
Then, back again on the rides. But this time we tried soemthing not as extreme as the other rollercoasters. We went on the Ricochet. It just goes around..it's like an octopus, but not exactly. Then, around that territorry, we watched the show Espana Extreme. IT was awesome. It was a live stunt show. People were hanging like 60 feet off the ground with no nets! it was great. They also had this Thunder Dome where 3 people on motorcycles were in the dome.
*NEW* ESPANA EXTREME: DARE TO WATCH!
This incredibly cool, high-flyin’ show features daring trapeze acts, breathtaking aerial artistry and the dizzying Motorcycle Thunder Dome act, all in an outdoor setting! June 21- August 17.

Then, we went on the ride called THE VIPER. It was one of those classic rollercoasters made of wood. It just goes up and down, no loops. It goes very fast though.

Then, we went on a family treat again. All of us rode the Great American Raceway. It was a bunch of cars, classic looking cars, but it stays on the rail, but u can control the speed. But, NO BUMPING allowed. MY boyfriend and I rode on the same car and we keep on bumping his younger brother who was in front of us. LOL!

Then last but not the least. We finally got on the new ride SUPERMAN it was great! what a ride! i wanted to go on it again, but we were in line till closing, coz a lot of people really wanna try it out.

Hello! I'm here at work right now...and we're gonna eat at Mcdonald's for lunch..coz the burgers are only 49 cents..5 burgers limit per person..it's only for today so we'll take advantage..and u know pinoys..anything that that's cheap we're there..

I saw tomb raider 2 over the weekend..i didn't really like it that much..i think the first one is way better..why is it always like that..the first movie is always better..they can never make the second one better than the first one..Then me and my boyfriend, EJ, went to a park in the suburbs to go grilling..bbq, but the thing is you'll need a permit to do that and we didn't have one..hehehehe..so oh well, even though the patrols warned us we just went on grilling... we were so hungry already

I kinda want a camera..i really like photography..it's a great hobby..i want a camera like this one: Nikon Coolpix

Hello! Well, my cousin's wedding was over. It was so much fun. I was so nervous walking down the aisle coz i might trip. Coz all of us bridesmaid had to walk up there on our own and just meet up with our partner in the front of the church. After the church wedding, we all took pictures outside..i was starting to feel kinda sick coz i haven't eaten anything that morning. Good thing my cousin from Canada, she was one of the bridesmaids too, was there by my side to make me feel better. Then, we all went downtown Chicago and took more pictures there. Everyone was staring at us as if we were famouse people. It was so fun and exciting.

Then, at the reception, oh man at the reception..the reception was suppose to begin at 6 pm but we got in the Grand Ballroom at 8 pm..can u believe that. I got so hungry and even more sick. But finally we all got in the ballroom, had our dinner and after a few drinks I felt better...hehehe..then we partied the night away.

It was a great experience for me. I had so much fun. Especially coz my relatived from the Philippines and Canada were here whom I haven't seen in 6 years.

Here I am again. Just sitting here in front of my PC trying to think on what to write here on my BLOG. Let's see. Let's review my day first. I went to work at 9 am the left work at 10 am to go to class because I have an exam. I think I did well on that exam, it's pretty easy. Then, I went back to work..another boring day at work. I didn't really have that much to do.

How about my weekend? I went to the mall with a friend. Then we just drove around the southwest suburbs just talking and laughing..then the next day, Saturday, I went out with my boyfriend and we watched Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. It was a cool movie..it was so funny.

Oh yah, my cousin's wedding is coming up..I'm so excited coz I'm a bridesmaid..it's on July 12..i'll put some details here when the day comes near...

Father's Day today! So Happy Father's Day! to all the dads out there.
The whole family went out to eat at T.G.I.Fridays...the food was great me, my mom and dad and my bro all ordered the same thing. We ordered The Jack Daniel's Steak and Shrimp. My lil sis ordered some pasta. It was great. We finished everything.

The night before my boyfriend and I went to see a Breaking Battle..lots of people were there..lots of good dancers..it's just amazing to see how people can do head spins..hehehe..It was held in the American Indian Center in Northside Chicago. My culture knowledge grew just by going there. Before the events or dancing started..the American Indians performed their ritual dance and before each dance they faced all directions, north, south, east, and west, to pay respects to their ancestors. It was cool. It was the first time I saw something like that. And I saw people do the Capoiera.. i think that's how you spell it. It's a form of martial arts..if you've seen the movie "Only the Strong" you'll know what i'm talking about. It was kinda cool seeing it in person.

Wassup! Well, my summer school started last monday...i'm taking abnormal psych by the way...the teacher's kinda weird..and she seems strict..but it's ok..I seem to pay more attention in class, coz maybe I'm only taking one class and I'm more focused coz there's no other classes to worry about but one..

Didn't really do much this week, but to work, work, work...and i'm kinda in between a mess between 2 of my friends who i work with..I hope they'll figure it out and we can all be happy at work again..coz i have to talk to both of them separately saying the same thing..it's kinda funny if u think about it...anyways..i really hope they'll figure it out..

I really miss my boyfriend...haven't seen him since sunday...he's so busy at work and like me he's going to summer school too we're both so busy..me on the other hand is also working everyday..I'll see him this weekend to spend some quality time together..*muah* luvs ya! [ E.J. & Jamie 11.17.99 ]

What's in a name?
Jamie As Jamie you are rather serious-minded, responsible, and stable. You have the gift of tact and diplomacy, and possess a charming, easy-going nature which endears you to others. You have a serious desire to understand the heart and mind of everyone, and could be very effective in a career or in volunteer work where you are handling people and serving in a humanitarian way. This name also gives you a love of home and family, and as a parent you would likely be fair and understanding. You remember the thoughtful little expressions of affection and appreciation that mean so much to others, and you have the ability to create a warm and loving environment. However, you tend to put things off and avoid facing issues because of a lack of confidence and uncertainty. You often need encouragement from someone before you can come to a decision. This name creates a generally well-balanced and healthy nature, but any weakness in the health would cause problems in the fluid functions, such as kidney or bladder trouble, overweight, or swelling of the legs and ankles.
