memories of a broken vow

Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
While I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
The one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
give away my soul
To hold you once again
never let this promise end

I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know, I'm asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

skywatch friday- waiting.....leaving.... new beginning....

                                      jan.24 2010,2 days after  my dad's funeral i decided to leave.....and wait for my flight on early morning in manila,my family wanted me to stay for another night but i refuse, so on that day i left alone heading to manila,its not our  usual way everytime i got a chance to have a vacation every year almost all members of my family likes to come and send me to airport but this time was really different and its my choice not to bother anyone co'z i believe they need a lot of rest its not easy to mourn for almost 9 days no sleep,no eat(of corz we do but no appetite),no rest at all so i told them not to bother about my flight on the next morning....one more thing is that i don't want to cry in the airport leaving my family after what had happen,they used to see me as happy,strong and lively woman and  i want them to keep it that way even on this part of our lives....

                                     on my way to manila,i was too bored sitting alone in the bus funny that even im pretty tired i can't even get even a single minute of sleep strange because i was named "antukin sa car"(sleepy in car)....i look around and found those passenger sleeping peacefully with their companions some are chatting and watching tv... for no reason at all i grab my cam and decided to click and click....while the bus is moving.....so here is what i got on that one Boring afternoon.... but memorable time for me because i want to cherish any moment that i can remember about my dad.....

watery wednesday- my life,my happiness,my family.....

skywatch friday-a piece of thought

   sometimes,we tend to be happy even we are not sometimes,we tried to be strong even the truth is we are weak.......after weeks of mourning,here i am the pain of lossing a father still haunts me,i laugh, smile,talked just as i am used to be but the feeling deep down inside me is still crying.... crying for a father who asked his  youngest daughter before he died.i left my dad after ten days even on his crucial time,i know he will leave us very very soon but still i decided to go because i have to,and i have no choice.....after four days my dad passed away with the tears on his eyes looking for me,how can i ever forget that he asked me to decide on one big family issue,i am the youngest and yet he wants me to talked with everyone about his operation that everyone knows will only give him more trouble because his body is already to weak at that time,my dad knows it but he still insist for it,i want to give what he wish because i know it will make him happy for atleast on his last time i could give him what he wish for but my family refused and im the only one who wants it......

    to hard to move on when you know you just sit there and did nothing,some may say im useless like some  people say coz i just let my dad die with out the operation but in my opinion i know he is more happy now no more pains and sufferrings....because even the doctor says he may leave anytime for his body never accept any medication anymore,the feeling of  guilt is still on me,but, do i have to be guilty?am i wrong for not letting him have the operation?some say,i  did,we did the right thing but, whatever it is my dad already passed away and i have to move forward for there are still some missions for me to finish,anything what my dad started especially on SERVING THE PEOPLE for 20 yrs in my community,i may continue that in right time because for now i need more courage,time and effort....     there is one thing i can't forget with my dad,he may not be the perfect father for me but he is indeed a perfect father to teach us to love,respect ,have faith in God,to strive for our dreams and to believe that even the poorest person in the world could change his life if he got the guts and the courage to do it.  i will always miss  my dad and will always loved him.....

i took the pictures on my dad's last day of mourning at about 5 a.m.  as i look into the  sky bidding my last goodbye to him....
