Minsan ang mga surprises ng buhay talagang hindi mo masasabi kung kelan darating. Yes, surprises,,, mga bagay gugulat sayo in a very funny and sometimes touching ways. Eh hindi nga ba kaya tinawag na surprises.
Matatapos na ang June, and half of the year is already over. But then again, 2011 proved itself to be a better year. Sa isang magandang pagsalubong ng buwan ng Hunyo, marami akong naaccomplish at marami rin ang mga bagong bagay na dumating sa buhay ko. Yung ilan ay nagdulot ng pagdaramdam kagaya ng naging pagpapabalik-balik namin sa clinic for medical reasons. Yes we found out that there is minimal hydrocele in my epididymis. Ang hindi ko pagpunta sa ilang special reunions. Higit sa lahat, pighati rin ang idinulot ng sunod-sunod na pagulan at pagsalanta ng mga bagyong dumadaan sa tagliran ng bansa nitong nakaraang mga linggo. Maraming lugar ang binaha, may ilan ring sinalanta ng buhawi.
Yet, June is the time when I had more time to reflect and prepare. Mukhang ang dami ko ring naisulat. Ito rin yung time na kahit ang layo-layo namin ni JS sa isa't-isa ay nagagawa rin naming makapagusap via phone. Lagi na siyang tumatawag kaya naging habit ko na rin ang mag unlimited call para mas maraming tao ang makausap. Napansin ko kasi na though andiyan ang twitter at facebook ay iba pa rin ang naguusap ng personal kahit yung sa phone lang. We come face to face with the reality na hindi na nga uso ang landline. June is also the month of fathers. it is my greatest wish, my greatest career. I want to be the greatest father. And really, on father's day is when I met a new non-biological son, in the person of Santi. June is a month of obsession for a son. A month for Santi.
I am so proud of Santi, being the only full blooded Filipino studying in an international school for Europeans here in the Philippines. Gosh! June is the month of the expected wedding date. June with all its funny familiar ways is a good month for sons and fathers to bond with each other.
Natapos ngayong June ang NBA Playoffs. talo nga ang Miami eh pero gaya ng nabasa ko sa libro ni Pat Conroy na "The Losing Season" ito ang paraan para lalong magpainam ng diskarte ang Miami. Hindi naman nagiisip kapag nanalo eh, nagse celebrate lang. Kapag talo mas maraming pagiisip na ginagawa. Just look at the positive effect of losing ika nga. Naibalik ng coverage ng ABS-CBN ang init ng pagtanggap ng Filipino sa basketball at lalo na particularly, sa NBA. We forgot for a while that we are a basketball loving nation. Being caught into the ring with Manny, lead us to think that bosingis the only sports but we were wrong. Hindi ang boxing ang laro na puwedeng gawin kahit saan, kahit kelan ng mga tao at lalo na ng mga bata; pero ang basketball, it always directs our kids to teamwork and camaraderie. Gandang laro di ba? Muling sumikat ang NBA just as it was before noong 1997-1999. Muli nating natanto na oo ito yung cheap na sports na hindi puwedeng ma alternate basta-basta ng football.
June din nagwakas ang "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" a korean series na nagpakilig sa maraming high school at nagpa eeeewww sa mga TV critics na ayaw ng mga corny scenes. Ako, I just enjoyed it. Wala talaga akong balak na panuorin yun kaso natagpuan ko na lang ang kapatid kong si Rizzel na sobrang attached sa love flick na yun kaya ayun pinanuod ko na rin at nagustuhan ko naman hanggang sa matapos na nga. At nitong Sabado at Linggo lang ay ang pagtatapos naman ng Season 2 ng Pilipinas Got Talent kung saan akala ko ay Happy Feet ang mananalo. Hindi pala. Another losing season lalo na kay Mang Rico na twice pumasok at twice ring na eliminate. Grabe siguro ang pinagdadaanan niya ngayon. Pero sabi ko nga kay Mama, it is always the fault of the people who wanted somebody to win and yet never voted thru text anyway.
And just to give clarification, since napagusapan ang ABS. Hindi po kami magkaibigan ni Jessie Mendiola. Sobrang bias ko raw kasi sa twitter na lagi ko siyang ikino compare sa acting ng ibang actress por que "kaibigan" ko raw siya. Hindi po niya ako kilala at hidni ko rin siya kilala personally other than what I know about her sa media. Nagkataon lang na noong taping ng Sabel, they were in Laguna where I live. Pero in all sincerity naman, mas bagay talaga siya for the role na Maria la del Barrio. First, to give justice to Thalia who is a fairy of sexiness, I guess mas sexy si Jessie kaysa sa napiling gumanap. Second, she looks more of a Mexican than the other actress. So why not di ba? Handa si Jessie for that role and the other actress seemed to be boxed in a role na medyo pa-cute.
_____________________________________________________
Kanina na siguro ang pinaka highlight ng June. A day before it ends, nabuo kami as a grousp of friends again. Umuwi na kasi si Edison from abroad, si Je is home for vacation mula sa Mandaluyong at si Isaac andyan labng naman yun. So, I learned Tuesday that both Edison and Je is here in Laguna. The night of Tuesday pumunta na si Je sa bahay at pinapunta ko si Isaac. Tinawagan namin sila Ron, Jophet at Daryl who are away. Ala una na kami naghiwalay kaninang umaga dahil sa DVD marathon, just to catch up. Tapos kanina ngang umaga bandang 10am nagpunta ulit si Je sa bahay at nakasama na namin si Regine, nakita ko sa bilihan ng ulam. Pinuntahan namin si Ediosn pero nasa Manila daw, of all the days, bakit ngayon pa?
Noong alas dose na ng tanghali kanina at kumpleto na kami at tapos na manganghalian, sinimulan na ang inuman. Tanghali! Ang init! Pero this is the only time. Pasensiya na lang Edison wala ka eh nasa Manila. Pero dumaan din naman si Edison kanina pero hindi na siya umabot. Ubos na ang The Bar Lemon Gin.
We are all looking forward for more happy memories this July. July 2 I'll be in Manila again!

anticipation for friend's birthday
Bukas pa ang birthday ni Isaac. Pero bago ko pa malimutan ang mga gusto ko isulat para sa birthday niya pati na rin sa mga bagay bagay na naglalaro sa isip ko, minabuti ko na i metion na siya sa entry na ito.
Elementary pa lang magkaklase na kami ni Isaac, Bikoy ang nickname niya, isa siya sa mga friends ko noon sa section namin noong grade 2. Hindi na kami naging magkaklase noong grade 3 pero noong grade 4 naging classmates kami. Hanggang sa maka graduate kami ng grade 6 kaklase ko pa rin siya. Pero hindi na kami masyadong friends noon. Noong highschool, hindi ko rin nakaklase si Bikoy.
Anyway, happy birthday Bikoy!!!!!

expecting only those that can bring happiness
It's nice to wake up in the morning and say "Ah this is a special day" and you ecpect only the best that life can give you. Ganoon naman talaga.
Importante ang June 15 for two reasons. Pero yung isa hindi ganoon kaganda. First, noong June 15, 2006 nagkita kami ni Faye sa Liliw after my longest wait. Kakatapos ko lang noon magbakasyon sa malayo at umuwi ako just before the classes begun. Sila naman eh pasukan na. Second, ito yung date na nagkagulo kami noong 2010, last year lang, dahil nga sinagot na niya si Ronel.
Ang June 15 being 15, na date rin ng kaarawan ni Faye... ang napili ko na maging date kung kelan ako ikakasal. Sana siya ang kasama ko na ikakasal pero mukhang malabo. Hindi pa rin nagbabago. June 15 pa rin ang pipiliin kong date ng kasal maging sino man ang mapapangasawa ko. Hindi naman siguro tatanggi ang isang babae lalo na nga't karamihan ay gusto na maging June bride sila.
Nanggaling ako sa Liliw kanina at medyo malungkot nga. Bukod sa medyo masakit ang lalamunan ko eh wala kasi doon ang tao na sana ay siyang pakay ko. Hindi rin naman ako sigurado, maaaring naroon pa siya at nagbabakasyon dahil baka hindi pa siya nakakakuha ng work. Pero malamang ay meron na. Knowing Faye, hindi niya gusto na nasasayang ang oras niya. Baligtad kami. Ako laging may wasted time. Laging may art of doing nothing. Lagi akong nagiisip, nagmumuni muni. Kaya magaling ako sa decision making. Siya, medyo [medyo lang naman] sabak lang ng sabak. pero minsan sa pagwawander ko, naiiwan niya ako kasi yung relos niya mabilis tumakbo, yung akin parang laging lowbat at patigil tigil.
Tanghali na noong maisipan ko umuwi. Nakasakay o sa jeepney si Sydmond. At naramdaman ko na parang ang init ng panahon ang sanhi ng hindi ko magandang pakiramdam. Bukod sa nasakit ang lalamunan ko eh parang mainit ako. Lalagnatin yata ako. Huwag naman. It's June 15 for my sake. Hey, the pressure of June 15. 3 months na mula noong 20th birthday ni Faye. Sadyang wala na akong pagasa sa habulan. Isa na lang ang way eh. Yung tumigil ang oras pero gumagalaw kaming dalawa. Yun na lang. At imposible yun. Kulang kasi kami sa oras. Masakit aminin sa sarili pero hindi ako bahagi ng buhay niya. Nasaan ako noong July 14 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007? Wala! Nasaan ako noong October 27 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007? Wala nanaman. Eh kahit nga noong April 12 ngayong taon na gumradweyt siya eh wala ako dahil may trabaho at wala akong pera. Nakakaasar na kulang ang panahon na naguusap kami. Siguro talagang hindi akma ang mga pagkatao namin. Kahit na yung mga priorities namin at pangarap namin. Pero ganunpaman I love her pa rin.
Sana hindi na lang natapos yung June 15 2006, pero hindi puwede kasi kung hindi natapos yun hindi ako makakrating dito ngayon. Talagang hanggang doon lang.

eve of independence day and two friends with me
Birthday ni Shaira ngayon. As usual hindi nanaman kami magkasama kasi nasa Laguna ako. Paminsan minsan umuulan pero most of the time mainit na. Tamang tama lang na weather para sa medyo masakit na ulo ko ngayon.
Bukas naman ang Independence Day. Sayang nga kasi hindi pa naging June 12 ang birthday ni Shaira noong 1998 which is the centennial year ng kalayaan. Sana libre ang tuition niya. Pero, kung iisipin mas gusto ko na June 11 ang birthday niya. At least may reason to celebrate on a different day kaysa naman makisabay pa siya sa celebration ng Independence.
Ngayon din umuwi si Jophet dito sa Laguna. After a very long time na malayo siya dahil sa trabaho. Dumaan siya sa bahay kanina sabay namang tawag ni JS sa phone. So pinutol ko na lang yung usapan namin ni JS to give way sa usapan namin Jophet eh ang tagal rin naman naming di nagkita. Anyway alam kong pupuyatin ako ni JS mamaya because madaming kuwento yun. At alam kong sa gabi yun tatawag. Pauwi siya ngayon from Manila to Nueva Ecija. Dun niya yata balak na maging malaya. Hay... kumusta naman kaya ang celebration ng birthday ng pamangkin ko?
Palagi kong nalilimutan kung ano ang gusto kong shoutout sa facebook. Kaya minarapat ko nang mag join ang twitter ko at ang facebook. Lagi ko rin nalilimutan ang gusto kong twit. Kainis! Ngayon nagamit ko na ang twitter apps sa facebook. At kapag may twit ako automatic na lumalabas na sa facebook. Saya lang.
About Freedom
Maraming mga tao ang napipiling pagusapan ng in depth ang kalayaan tuwing sasapit ang araw ng kalayaan. Tama lang naman. Maraming mga tao ang handang magbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan. Maraming bansa ang handang makipagdigma para lamang sa kalayaan. Ganoon nga kaimportante ang freedom. Who is free? Why should we be free?
May mga klase sa kolehiyo na inaabot ng isang buong semester at pinaguusapan lang nila ay ang freedom. Each person is free. Kaya nga lang yung iba eh abuso sa freedom nila. Malaya na nga ba ang Pilipinas mula noong June 12, 1898? Eh hindi nga baga't naing colony pa tayo ng America? Maaaring malaya tayo mula s apangaalipin ng dayuhan sa sarili nating bayan pero tayo ngayon ang pumupunta sa bayan ng dayuhan para...... guess what, MAGPAALIPIN! Alipin pa rin ang Pinoy ng kahirapan at kamangmangan. Kailangan ang mg apoints na ito ang pagisipan ngayong Araw ng Kalayaan. Questionable pa rin kung mayroon nga bang araw na malaya tayo.

bread and butter; heat and market
We spent the morning in San Pablo City for check up. Happy ako na kasama ko si Mama pamamasyal sa San pablo after naming manggaling sa clinic. Siyempre naisipan naming magmiryenda. Oh the simplicity of our life, hindi namin kailangan mag mall for bonding. All we need is walk and talk. How I wish na marami ring mag-ama ang mag stroll in an affordable price. pwede namang maging masaya sa pamamasyal, paglalaro, at pagkain together na hindi magastos. Bakit ama? Kasi June is for Father's Day. Hehehe... masaya talaga kami ni Mama even in times of adversities. At dahil gusto ng anaming magmiryenda, nahanap agad ang mga mata namin ng pinakamalapit na kainan at bakery is what we found. Pero instead of going dun sa bakery na nakita namin, naalala ni mama yung Kalahi Bakery. Dun daw kami bibili sabi ni mama kaya naglakad pa kami papunta doon. Ito yung bakery malapit sa imac. Ilang beses ko nang nakita, nadaanan, at narinig ang bakery na yun pero mula noong naglagalag ako sa San Pablo, ngayon ko pa lang napasok at napagtuunan ng pansin ang bakery na iyon. Unbelievable!
Unang tumambad sa mga mata ko ang rolls na nagkakahalaga ng Php. 200. May iba't ibang palaman sa loob ang mg acake rolls parang dunkin donuts yung mga filled rolls. Sabi no mama magandang regalo sa may birthday yung mg arolls. May iba't ibang klase rin ng nakabalot na cookies at iba pang baked products. Nabibili ng tingi sa halagang Php. 3.00 ang mamon, kababayan, at banana bread.
Ang sarap tingnan, hindi lamang ang variety ng tinapay kung hindi pati na rin ang lumalaki at umuunlad na negosyo. Wala akong Midas touch pagdating sa negosyo kaya bilib ako kapag nakakakita ako ng maliliit na negosyong pinalaki; para bang kagaya sa istorya ng Calata Corporations. Si Mr. Joseph Calata ang pinakabatang CEO na kinilala sa Pilipinas bilang isa sa mga nangungunang CEO sa bansa. Bilang isang direktor, mas dramatic ang dating sa aking ng mga taho vendor, agri businessmen, o small time industry player na umasendo ang tindahan kaysa sa mga katulad ng San Miguel Corporation ni Ramon Ang o ng MPIC ni Manny Pangilinan. Para kasing given na ang kayamanan nila eh. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kasi nga hindi ako business major.
Noong 2004, akala ko sa Las Pinas ako magaaral. Nagtake ako sa isang public college ng exam na walang tuition fee kasi free kapag resident ka ng Las Pinas. Puro business courses ang offered doon. Pinili ko ang Marketing. Alam ko maraming Math ang marketing, lalo na sa pricing. Pero hindi maitatanggi na ito ang pinakamalapit sa Communication kaysa Economics, Banking at Accountancy. Hindi natuloy ang pagpasok ko doon. Instead of taking up Marketing, I took AB Communication. Pero noong 2006, nag summer job ako sa SM South Mall, palagi akong dumadaan sa National Bookstore para magbasa at mag-check kung sino ang cover ng mga magazine. Dahil wala akong PSP II, nasa National ako tuwing coffee break kung wala ako sa Yamaha. Noong una, nagbabasa ako ng mga novels at naniningin lang ng song hits pero palaging napapako ang mata ko sa isang section ng store kung saan naroon ang mga aklat sa business. Isang makapal at malaking libro na ang title ay "Marketing" ang parang mansanas na umaagaw sa mga mata ko habang nagbabasa ng Bubble Gang compilation. Kulay bule ang libro at glossy ang hardbound cover nito. Kulay white naman ang lettering ng title na Marketing. At nang mga sumunod na linggo, yung book na yun na ang binabasa ko. hehehe...
Ipinangako ko sa sarili ko na bibilhin ko ang book na yun after ko makuha ang backpay ko. Sa kasamaang palad hindi natupad. Yes, dahil nagastos ko sa damit, accessories at sa 3 movies [Poseidon, Da Vinci Code at Spider Man 3]. Bumili rin ako ng isang music CD sa Astroplus. Ang good news is bumili pa rin ako ng book na ang title ay "Elements of Marketing" pero local yun. Si Ruby F. Alminar Mutya ang author.

june is for wedding dates
Recently, almost four billion people around the world eyed the most talked about wedlock called "The Royal Wedding of the Century" not only for the glamor but also for mere entertainment and science of chizmax. People waited for the unveiling of the wedding dress which caught us off guard as Pipa, the sister of Kate, stole the attention of the press and the twitter users because of a healthy and firm rear behind her. I, for the sake of tuning with history, also wrote something in here about the wedding though it is centered primarily on Kate and on the expected attitude and political role she has to face later on. People are just expecting too much when it comes to royalties. Even showbiz royalties.
Now it is June. The perfect time of the year for couples to take their vows for each other. Another convenient date is November 11, 2011 which is Michelle's birthday.
And with all this fun, I began to recollect my musical thoughts about marriage. I just remembered that most of the songs we heard a while before June 2011 are mostly about getting married.
Marry Your Daughter by Brian McKnight goes like
And I liked the song so much because it is conversational. Between the groom and the father of the bride. It speaks so much of fidelity and of manly allegiance.
Another song which I did want to be a proposal theme is "Marry Me" by Train which goes ....

Copied from MetroLyrics.com
It can be followed by a song from Colbie Caillat which could be a reply to the speech... the title is "I Do"
...Oh see? It can be perfect line up for a marriage feast. Another song is a new hit coming from Runner Runner entitled as I Can't Wait and the lyrics....
For those getting married this June, coNGRATULATIONS!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friend Myqeen Rodriguez who celebrates her 22nd year on earth. More wealth and more health.
I had a great day texting Gerome. How can I forget a great night last year with them.
Lastly, can I just add the lyrics from Bruno Mars' hit entitled "Marry You" ?
It’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,
No one will know,
Come on girl.
Who cares if we’re trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow,
Shots of patron,
And it’s on girl.
Don’t say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we’ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you’re ready, like I’m ready.
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
I’ll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So whatcha wanna do?
Let’s just run girl.
If we wake up and you wanna break up that’s cool.
No, I won’t blame you;
It was fun girl.
Don’t say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we’ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you’re ready, like I’m ready.
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby. x2
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,

Marry Your Daughter by Brian McKnight goes like
Sir, I'm a bit nervous
'Bout being here today
Still not real sure what I'm going to say
So bare with me please
If I take up too much of your time,
See in this box is a ring for your oldest
She's my everything and all that I know is
It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side
Very soon I'm hoping that I...
Can marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
Can't wait to smile
When she walks down the isle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
She's been hearing for steps
Since the day that we met (I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left)
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad
I've got most of my vows done so far (So bring on the better or worse)
And tell death do us part
There's no doubt in my mind
It's time
I'm ready to start
I swear to you with all of my heart...
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the isle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
The first time I saw her
I swear I knew that I say I do
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the isle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
And I liked the song so much because it is conversational. Between the groom and the father of the bride. It speaks so much of fidelity and of manly allegiance.
Another song which I did want to be a proposal theme is "Marry Me" by Train which goes ....
Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally showed her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Promise me you'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Marry me

It can be followed by a song from Colbie Caillat which could be a reply to the speech... the title is "I Do"
It's always been about me myself and I
If all relationships were nothing but a waste of time
I never wanted to be anybody's other half
I was happy to say that our love wouldn't last
That was the only way I knew to that you
You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Yeah, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I can live without it, I can let it go
Ooh, I did, I get myself into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Tell me is it only me
Do you feel the same?
You know me well enough to know that I'm not playing games
I promise I won't turn around and I won't let you down
You can trust and never feel it now
Baby there's nothing, there's nothing we can't get through
So can we say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
Wooh Can I get myself into
You make we wanna say
Me a family, a house a family
Ooh, can we be a family?
And when I'm old and sit next to you.
And when we remember when we said
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
Just look at what we got ourselves into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Love you
...Oh see? It can be perfect line up for a marriage feast. Another song is a new hit coming from Runner Runner entitled as I Can't Wait and the lyrics....
The way you curse when we're in traffic
A million flavors of your chapstick
The way that you've got my heart captive
The Journey concert in AZ
Remember we sang faithfully?
I still got that old hotel room key
This is the way I feel
'Cause I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And on and on and on
The way you like to sing my songs
You always know when something's wrong
The way you say you miss me when I'm gone
The things you do to show you care
you're always down for truth or dare
Freeze this moment; let me stop and stare
Nothing before was real
And this is the way I feel
'Cause I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And on and on and on
And we'll go on and on and on
For better or for worse
No matter how it hurts
you've got me to hold you hand
I promise you the world
In your wedding dress
We'll dance till no one's left
don't wanna blink my eyes
don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And I can't wait for you to be my wife
To live this life together
And I won't let you go
I need you to know
That you are my heart, forever
And on and on and on
And we'll go on and on and on
For those getting married this June, coNGRATULATIONS!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friend Myqeen Rodriguez who celebrates her 22nd year on earth. More wealth and more health.
I had a great day texting Gerome. How can I forget a great night last year with them.
Lastly, can I just add the lyrics from Bruno Mars' hit entitled "Marry You" ?
It’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,
No one will know,
Come on girl.
Who cares if we’re trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow,
Shots of patron,
And it’s on girl.
Don’t say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we’ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you’re ready, like I’m ready.
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
I’ll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So whatcha wanna do?
Let’s just run girl.
If we wake up and you wanna break up that’s cool.
No, I won’t blame you;
It was fun girl.
Don’t say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we’ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you’re ready, like I’m ready.
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby. x2
Cause it’s a beautiful night,
We’re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
