I had a picture of you in my head
It kept me warm when you were not there
You made me laugh made me feel like
A child to see your smile made everything worthwhile
I feel a glow when you are near
All of my doubt just disappear
But baby nothing stays the same
It's such a shame
Chorus:
Spend some time trying to figure out
What to do with this love what to do with this love
Now it seems like the best thing baby
Is just give it up
Let's just give it up
So now you play trick with my mind
I am gonna leave your loving all behind
You were my joy
You were my pain
Something is lost when something is gained
Don't worry baby I'll be fine
I'll grow tired of you wasting my time
Don't bother pleading
or trying to stop me
It's too late now I've just
Got to be free
Chorus
Baby just give it up
I've just had enough
Give it up
Give it up
I've just had enough
Chorus

Friday, March 30, 2007
Mama and ate Marile had their Saint's day today. The day of Dolores, the Virgin. Dolores means pain in Spanish and She is the Virgin that express all the pain that She as a mother suffered when Her son Jesus died. Ate Marile and mama are both called Dolores, so this is her day and both Lhot and I want to give them a very special congratulations.
Marile got a very nice picture in a frame of Granada, where papa and mama spent a few days some weeks ago.
And Mama got a very nice bag that Marile bought and that she liked a lot:
And as I made a lot of pictures, be sure to check the whole set and you won't miss pictures like this one, where mama shows her marvelous skills as... Karate Kid!
Hope you enjoyed it :)

and the kids finally got their ice cream...
The captor surrendered to the police and the kids and teachers were freed after a long long day. What it was supposed to be a trip to Tagaytay, a popular amusement area in the South of Manila by the lake and volcano Taal, with a weather more fresh that in the capital, ended up being a nightmare for many parents, a new adventure for 24 kids to tell to their friends and a day that none of them will ever forget...

The Innocence and Naivety of Kids.
a.k.a. The Marvelous World of Children
Today there was a kidnapping of 32 kids in Metro Manila. The story is really sad.
A man, Armando Ducat, the owner of a nursery,Musmos Day Care, wants to help the 145 pupils of his nursery, and he is asking to be allowed to have a vigil with candles to ask for free registration fees for pupils and improvements on the education system.He wrote his request in front of the bus.
Here it is a new case of asking for the right thing, looking for the right goal with the wrong means.
He said what he wanted for the children was education “because if they were educated they would have discipline and would not become drug addicts.”You can follow the updates on the excellent breaking news site of The Inquirer, one of the best Fipipino Newspaper.
“I am appealing to you to give me a chance to speak. You are witnesses to the political dynasties, the rampant stealing in government. Because of this, our dream of progress for the country will not be realized,” Ducat said.
“Aren’t we ashamed of ourselves? We are a country who believes in God and yet we are ungodly in our actions,” he said.
“President Arroyo is fighting corruption, we should unite with her,” he added.
The thing is that the kids in the bus, for them, this is looking like something extraordinary, something exciting, they don't even understand what's all the fuss with this. You can see their faces so thrilled, with a little bit of fear, all mixed, because the novelty of the situation, they were going to go to class on a normal day and now they are surrounded by people on a bus with a man yelling with a grenade in his hand, with a uzi machine gun and a .45 caliber pistol. It is like a movie for them.
Children live in their own reality, that's what so wonderful about them and that's why they can make us feel full of illusion, because they give us that part of life that we can only find in dreams. But reality is reality and adults are very well aware of it, we got used to because of all the sufferings that we have endured in our lives. So, this is the other side of reality, the real one.
The mothers and fathers of those kids are all worries and sufferings.
And the police is still waiting..
And the kids waiting..
All these kids that you can see are all around 5 years old, as a teacher said, even one of the supervisors offered to bring ice cream to the kids, but Ducat refused. This Ducat man was the same that kidnapped two priests on 1989, because of some repairs on a church.
And the authorities don't know yet what to do, senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla is negotiation with the kidnapper;
“Sinabi niyang hindi siya mananakit. Ibigay lang ang gusto niya. Lalong tatagal ito kung hindi niyo siya papayagan [He said that he would not harm anyone for as long as his demands would be given. This will take longer if we do not give what he wants],” said Revilla.And it looks like he was able to take one kid from the bus,
Simon Pacheco, was freed because he was running a fever and was brought to the hospital by an ambulance, authorities said.
Let's pray that all ends well, because as we say here, "it is good all that it ends well".
