firegirl...

I just read the book by Tony Abbott entitled Firegirl and my question is, are you ever really the same person once somebody touches your heart?

I have been drawn to reading kids and young adult books these days where there is magic and adventure. Once I read through romance novels like they were going out of style, I had to read them one after another, I wanted and needed romance in my life.. but of course the sleeping princess always wakes up and here I am.. I know that these romance novels hold nothing true.. there is no rich, good looking, arrogant, sweet, sensitive guy that sweeps you off your feet.. blah! none of the regulars have all those characteristics... anyway i'm straying away from my topic...

each and everyone of us has had someone touch their heart in one way or another... my question is were you a willing participant or just a bystander? the book is about a regular middle school boy faced with a challenge to step up and be different... to reach out and be nice to a girl who has been burned beyond recognition... the boy teaches us that sometimes or most of the time we are presented with scary stuff we don't want to deal with and most of the time these scary stuff are what molds us and shapes us as a person... being a grownup we are faced with scary things to deal with all the time... from dating to changing jobs to taxes to decisions that could alter our lives forever, but it is in the dealing with this scary stuff that we learn that things aren't as scary as they are projected to be.. our mind plays tricks on us... we have to step out of this box we have created and live life to the fullest... the boy in the story will never be the same... neither will I...

Tinapay ng Buhay

KORO:
Ikaw, Hesus, ang tinapay ng buhay
Binasbasan, hinati't inialay
Buhay na ganap ang sa ami'y kaloob
At pagsasalong walang hanggan

Basbasan ang buhay naming handog
Nawa'y matulad sa pag-aalay Mo
Buhay na laan nang lubos
Sa mundong sa pag-ibig ay kapos (KORO)

Marapatin sa kapwa maging tinapay
Kagalakan sa nalulumbay
Katarungan sa naaapi
At kanlungan ng bayan Mong sawi (KORO)

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

You're not an angel and I'm not the perfect man but you know I love you
So why won't you let me in

Give me one reason to stay and I'll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I'll leave
I don't need you to be me
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free

You're like a shadow that I cannot hold on to
I'm not a prison
I cannot tie you down

Give me one reason to stay and I'll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I'll leave
I don't need you to be me
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free
Oh

And I'll be alright without you on my side
I'll still sleep at night but don't make me have to

Give me one reason
Give me one reason

Give me one reason to stay and I'll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I'll leave
I don't need you to be me
I'll be just fine being free
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free
