Farewell 2007

Monday, December 31, 2007

Farewell 2007

Last Saturday, the last party of the year for the MM/Adobe/Sykes friends was held at Tropezz Bar Gb3.

At first, I was a bit unsure if people would be showing up as I was the only one there. However, I was grateful that Mae showed up. She was the first among the list of guests in the overly crowded TO: list of the email invite that I sent out.

Eventually, people trickled one by one. I'm simply happy that people showed up. The place was perfect for the group as we had live band music whilst being in the privacy of the VIP lounge.

The exchange gift portion was quite funny. Who would've thought the we would have a rigodon of gifts.

At the end of it all, it was simply nice to have such wonderful people that have made a significant mark in my life be in one place for the last time in 2007. I just wish that all of us would have everything we pray for this coming 2008.

Near The End

Near The End

In 3 days, a chapter of my life story will be ending.

This is the first time that it will end differently from the previous 7 years. This year will have ended with me in a new job. The next storyline hath begun and will continue to unfold. It has been a year of sorts ranging from numerous ups, downs, opportunities lost and gained. Most of all, I am lucky to have had plenty of blessings from family, career, health and friends. Yes, I’ve gained new friends both work and non-work. I’ve become more serious in my aim to live a healthier physique.

However, Love is still ZERO. I’ve had tons of failed opportunities with what could’ve been a possible BF. In fairness, I get to have good looking guys to smile back at me from time to time. The feeling of still being noticeable certainly boosts my morale. A little more push and I know I’ll get to my desired wellness. I’ve decided long ago that my happiness will not rely on my partner. It has to be something that I can complete on my own.

I’m being optimistic with 2008, and am hoping that it would bring a better life for all of us. I pray for the ideal, and I know it can happen if we work hard and pray hard. In anything that we do, it can only be achieved successfully if we put our hearts into it.

Before I forget, I am looking to take the chance of this coming New Year in learning more about my possible business ventures. These plans would be part of my retirement when the time comes that I can no longer work in a corporate setting.

“nuff said! Tomorrow will be the last party of 2007 for me and my former co-workers. Let’s wave to 2007 in a fashionably sociable manner.

Music: Linger
Artist: The Cranberries

If you, if you could return
Don’t let it burn, don’t let it fade
I’m sure I’m not being rude
But it’s just your attitude
It’s tearing me apart
It’s ruining everything
And I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

But I’m in so deep
You know I’m such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn’t be so confused
And I wouldn’t feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

And I’m in so deep
You know I’m such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

And I’m in so deep
You know I’m such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

You know I’m such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger


Nice To Know You

Nice To Know You

I’m glad that we got to chat again the other day, even for a very short time.

Next time, I’ll muster all my courage to ask you out for some tea. I would love to get to know you better. *SIGH*

With that, I’m not setting any expectations so that I wouldn’t be disappointed.

***** ***** ***** *****

I’m saddened when the shoe designer called me up today. He advised me that my boots won’t make it in time for my 2007 year-end party on Saturday. I was the eager beaver having this feeling that my boots were going to be finished this coming Friday. Good thing I’ve made a back up plan should unexpected things like this ever happen.

***** ***** ***** *****

I’ve completed the reservations for this Saturday’s 2007 Year-end party @ Tropezz Bar Gb3. I’ll be rushing later to buy a gift worth P300 as part of the exchange gift. Now I have another perfect excuse to go to the mall and do some shopping

Music: The Prayer
Artist: Josh Groban and Charlotte Church

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

La luce che to dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.

Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di esperanza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

Here's a song by Lara Fabian that I dearly hold in my heart.

Music: Pas Sans Toi
Artist: Lara Fabian

Sèche tes pleurs
Je ne partirai pas
Il m'en faudrait bien plus que ça
Pour tou détruire, anéantir, pas ça
Sèche tes pleurs
Et refais-moi l'amour
Te souviens-tu de cet enfant
Que tu voulais m'faire en chantant
Je t'aime encore si fort..non
Pas sans toi
Je ne la vivrai pas cette vie là
Si tu me reprenais dans tes bras
On pourrait reconstruire tout ça
Non non nonPas sans toi
Ce serait comme renier ma vie
Ce serait comme étouffer un crie
Si j'ai tort éloignes-toi
Si tu m'aimes attends moi

Sèche tes pleurs
Le temps nous attendra
Nous nous sommes perdus dans tout ça
Il n'y a plus d'raisons d'avoir peur, je crois
Sèche tes pleurs
On est tellement plus fort
Que toutes ces heures, tous ces remords
On s'oubliait, on avait tort
Je t'aime encore si fort...non

Refrain

Sèche tes pleurs
Refais-moi ce sourire
Celui qui ne fait pas vieillir
Ni mon âme ni mon corps
Je t'aime encore...si fort

'Tis The Season To Be Jolly

'Tis The Season To Be Jolly

Only approximately 6 hours to go before the Christmas day cometh.

2008 is barely a week away. The city is almost in the usual empty state.

Somehow, my human sense cannot comprehend the holidays as I spent most of them working. I always felt that I’ve nothing to do and none (aside from family) to spend the intimate moments of the season. I’ve reached that age wherein if I can’t find someone to be with me, then I’ll just have to focus on taking care of myself and be happy.

My brothers have their significant others. Mum is definitely missing dad and the holidays definitely make things even lonelier. I can’t say that I know what its like, but I can relate to her in my own way.

The gifts are mere physical representations of generosity to our friends and loved ones. We are lucky to have these blessings that bring smiles to our faces. However, let us not forget those who are of lesser conditions. Praying for their welfare is good, but sharing what we have is better. Although I’m not good with kids, I know that it is easy to make them smile. We should not deprive them of their innocence, and have them enjoy life as it should be savoured by everyone on this planet.

***** ***** ***** *****

It is unfortunate that my stint here is coming to an end. I wasn’t able to shift things into the direction where things would go better. Perhaps, it is not my place and time to help. There’s more for me to learn. Right now, there is a big uncertainty on what I would be doing by Jan 1, 2008. None of my applications with other companies have prospered. I’ll take that as a sign to stay put and see how things go. I know that things will be better and brighter this 2008.

I also hope for the best for my parting agents. I wish them luck in all of their future endeavours. For those who are moving on to the client, I bid you guys the best in everything. Prove to them that they made the right decision in getting you. For the unfortunate ones, it isn’t the end of the world. The timing may be off, but you have to see this as an opportunity to discover yourself and learn new things in life. It is nice to have a good sense of hope, but it would be best to work for it as well.

I’ll be seeing you around.

I was browsing through my iPod and came across Sarah Brightman's version of My Heart Will Go On.

Below are the lyrics.

"Il Mio Cuore Va"

Ogni notte in sogno,
Ti vedo, ti sento,
E così io so che ci sei.
Tu, da spazi immensi,
Da grandi distanze,
Sei venuta e so che ci sei.

Qui, la, dovunque sarai,
Sento forte il mio cuore che va.
Ancor la porta aprirai,
Per entrar nel mio cuore,
E il cuore mio va e va.

Per, la nostra vita,
Vivrà questo amore,
Se saremo insieme io e te.
Io ti ho sempre amata, ti ho,
Stretta davvero e vivra
Per sempre il mio amor.

Qui, la, dovunque sarai,
Sento forte il mio cuore che va.
Ancor la porta aprirai
Per entrar nel mio cuore,
E il cuore mio va e va.

Sei qui, paura non ho,
Sente che batte forte il mio cuor.
Sarà per sempre così ti,
Protegge il mio cuore,
E il cuore mio va e va.

EFFING EFF!



Effing Eff!

It is terribly frustrating when your agents fail to understand why you deny their requests. Some people would mistakenly think that I’m power tripping. Others would think that I’m heartless. Some simply think that I’m a scrooge and a complete @$$hole. Yet, they never saw the bigger picture. Times like this, I’m very thankful that I’ve developed my virtue of patience with people. Yes. I am being paid to make these decisions. As for them, I hardly see them moving up if their perspective is always from only one angle. That alone proves how of little interest they are in progressing with their careers.

*Sigh* I'm glad that a handful are mature enough to be very responsible and deliver what is expected of them without questions. Those people are the ones who are sure to easily get a new job.

Music: I Could Fall In Love
Artist: Selena
Album: Dreaming of You

I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take in my arms
And never let go

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try
to do what I should do
But I could fall in love,
fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

Siempre estoy sonando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podia amar a ti

So I should keep this to myself
and never let you know

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love,
I could fall in love with you...



Music: Dreaming of You
Artist: Selena
Album: Dreaming of You

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have a dreams of you
So I wait for the day
And the courage to say
how much I love you
Yes I do!

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazón
I can't stop dreaming of you
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can't stop dreaming
Cómo te necesito
I can't stop dreaming of you
Mi amor, cómo te extraño

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said "I love you"
I love you too!

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly

Dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Endlessly
And I'll be holding you tight
Dreaming...with you...tonight

Exhausted

Exhausted

This week was quite a challenge.

Work: My people are becoming quite difficult and hard headed. I don't exactly blame them since the situation isn't exactly motivating especially at this time of the year. I'm just glad that there are still some people who value professionalism and ethics. At the end of the day, I'm still hoping that we get to find new placements for these guys.

***** ***** ***** ******

Our company's Christmas party was held last Friday. I was tasked to be one of the hosts of the program. I was more than okay to do the job, however, I didn't even have a copy of the program nor the prices to be given away. With all honesty, I've done hosting before especially in my good old days with Sykes Christmas Party and Global Picnics. I've graduated from those tasks with flying colours as everything was as organised as it could have been.

Anyway, I'm glad that the night was over and everyone had a wonderful time. Even if I didn't win any prize, I'm perfectly happy with it since I should be thankful with all of the bountiful blessings that I have.

We finished around 2am and grabbed tea @ Starbucks Insular. I got home at around 3am. Beat and all. I woke up very late that Saturday and was feverish so I decided to stay home and rest. Although the tempation of hitting the gym was excessively high, I just stayed put and took advantage of the rest. I think that my body deserves it more.

***** ***** ***** *****

Finally, I bought a brand new iPod 160G. I just need a leather case to make sure that it is unscathed. I'm wearing a smile from ear to ear. The accessories shall come later, whilst in the meantime, this means that I have more reasons to work harder than ever; and pay for the bills. :)

STUPID is ME

Sunday, December 09, 2007

STUPID is ME

So I worked out as FF The Fort last Saturday as a change of pace and environment.

As usual, The Fort club wasn’t buzzing with people which are a perfect contradiction of RSC. I love RSC, but there are times that I would like to simply have some quiet workout time.

I was almost late for the jam class. Luckily, Balance ended around 530pm so I had the time rest a bit and catch my breath, and do stretching before the exercise regimen.
Somehow, I had a blasted spurt of energy coming from nowhere that pushed me to finish the class and do the machines.

Afterwards, I was beat. I took a shower and decided to treat myself to a trip to steam room. I felt so good to have the toxins come out of the body after a long work out.

I thing I always do is that I don’t look at other people whilst in the lockers. I keep my business to myself. So whilst I was in the steam room, I didn’t notice that there was this chap asking me a question. He said, “So you work out here @ The Fort as well.” I surprisingly answered, “Oh yes, but only during weekends. Either here or @ MoA.”

When I saw his face, he was one of my many crushes in the gym. However, he’s one of those people who hardly looked back when you smile at them. So, I just chose to ignore him. Nevertheless, he started the conversation so I took advantage of it. When there were too many people in the room, I opted to excuse myself, left and rinsed. It occurred to me that I never properly introduced myself. So after changing, I walked up to him and exchanged names. His name is Glen. Such a nice name. It was at this time that I saw him smile. He looked way better when he smiled. Then he asked if I was going home. I simply replied that not yet and that I was going shopping to complete my list.

Once I was done, I up and left for BHS. I was filled with excitement to see the Aldo shop there. However, when I was told by the store manager that they only carry sizes up to 11, my heart sank to the bottom of the lake. Then off I went to do more window shopping. Whilst I was checking out the BT wireless headphones @ JBL, the shop owner told me that I should go back when he has finished his 150in screen. He was having the acoustics of the theatre redone. He’d like to demonstrate this behemoth of a TV (if it still deserves such a name). I took on his offer and gave him my business card.

So whilst I was walking and got annoyed by the buzzing of families and children alike, it donned to me that the guy Glen, was asking me out. I had to text Beth to confirm if my assumptions were correct. And yes I was MAJOR STUPID. I just ditched a possible chance to have had a date with a good looking guy (who initiated the first move).

With that, I was very disappointed on my inability to read between the lines. At least it gave me something to look forward to. I hope to see him later when I work out here @ RSC. :-)

Music: Unwritten
Artist: Natasha Bedingfield

I am unwritten,
can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning,
the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition,
sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes,
but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Friday Tracks

A perfect way to cap off the work week would be to list down the lyrics of some 90s songs that I've always listened to whilst stuck in traffic or just simply hanging around.

Music: Sittin' Up In My Room
Artist: Brandy

Seems like ever since, the first day we met
There is no one else I think of more than you
Can't seem to forget, can't get you out my head
Cause the verdict's in I'm crazy over you
How can one be down, tell me where to start
Cause everytime you smile, I feel tremors in my heart
I have but one concern, how can I get with you
Till my day comes, here's what I'm gonna do.

[Chorus]
Be sittin up in my room
Back here thinkin bout you
I must confess, I'm a mess for you
Be sittin up in my room
Back here thinkin bout you
I must confess, I'm a mess for you

Pray that you'll invest, in my happiness
All it takes is just one simple call from you
Turn my heart around, if I'm making ground
Pretty baby please, tell me if I'm getting through
Tell me what is up
You see I need to know
Tell if I'm far, or if I'm getting close
I have but one concern, and that one concern is you
Till I'm with you, here's what I'm gonna do

[Repeat Chrous]

How can one be down, tell me where to start
Cause everytime you smile, I feel tremors in my heart
I have but one concern, how can I get with you
Till my day comes, here's what I'm gonna do

[Repeat Chorus]



Brandy Sittin' Up In My Room

Music: Miss You
Artist: Aaliyah

[Chorus]
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do?
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you
(Said I need you)
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you

Off to college
Since you went away
Straight from high school
You up and left me
We were close friends
Also lovers
Did everything
For one another
Now you're gone and I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow
Come back...to me
Can you...feel me (Callin')
Hear me...callin' (For you)
For you...'cause it's

[Chorus]

Now I'm sittin' here
Thinkin' 'bout you
And the days we used to share
It's drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
I'm just wonderin' if you still careI don't wanna let you know
That it's killin' me
I know you got another life you gotta concentrate baby
Come back...to me
Can you...feel me (Callin')
Hear me...callin' (For you)
For you...'Cause it's

[Chorus] 2x

I...can't...breathe...no...more
Since you went away I
Don't really feel like talkin
'No one here to love me
Baby do you understand me
I can't do or be without you

[Chorus]

Moderately Okay

Moderately Okay

Its Thursday and the week is coming to a close.

As always, during the ber months, time flies as if there is no tomorrow. The odd part this season is that we're still have quite a downpour even if it is December. Normally, the rain period stops somewhere in November. This goes to show that the weather patterns of our planet has evolved again. Mother Nature is bringing back her unpredictability as it was originally intended to be.

Today and tomorrow will be difficult days as I along with our HR dept will be serving letters of redundancy for agents who were not absorbed by the client. The line "its a dirty job and someone has to do it" applies for this situation.

I just hope that these guys take it well, and that a better opportunity comes along for them. I'm also thankful to my network of friends who have been accepting their resumes to see if they're fit for their company. I know that my agents are good and I pray they'll find the job most suited for them.

I am reaching a point that I have to make decisions on what path to take. Crossroads again. I pray that I make the best decision.

I'm also doing researches for two possible business ventures that I can enter. I'd like to explore this as part of my retirement plan. We'll see how it goes. :)

Music: Almost Unreal
Artist: Roxette

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest.
Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best.
Yes, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets.
I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.

Hey, we can't stop the rain, let's find a place by the fire.
Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems, you've been in my dreams all my life.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.

It's a crazy world out there.
Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.

Yeah come on and do the hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal, yeah.

Growing Old and Growing Pains



Growing Old and Growing Pains

I got this email from a former co-worker this morning. As I was reading it, my eyes began to swell. It brings back the pains of growing old and of losing a loved one. We will all go through this stage. For me, all I ask for is that I don’t burden anyone when I enter this stage of life. If by that time, I will have had a partner, I hope that he’d understand me; else, I hope that my family would.

Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensiyahan.
Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan
o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan,huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan.
Maramdamin ang isang matanda.
Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sinisigawan mo ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo,
huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng "binge!" Paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat nalang.
Pasensya ka na, anak.
Matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tuhod ko.
Pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo, katulad ng pag-aalalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay nagiging makulit at paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka.
Basta pakinggan mo nalang ako.
Huwag mo sana akong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan.

Natatandaan mo anak noong bata ka pa?
kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo 'yong sasabihin.
Maghapon kang mangungulit hangga't hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo.
Pinagtyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.

Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sana ang aking amoy.
Amoy matanda, amoy lupa.
Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo.
Mahina na ang katawan ko.
Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan.
Huwag mo sana akong pandirihan.

Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa?
Pinagtyagaan kitang habulin sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo.
Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako'y masungit.
Dala na marahil ito ng katandaan.
Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin.

Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo, kahit sandali lang.
Inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa.
Walang kausap.

Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho,
Subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik na akong makakwentuhan ka,
kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko.
Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa?
Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol saiyong teddy bear.

At kapag dumating ang sandali na ako'y magkakasakit at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman,
huwag mo sana akong pagsawaang alagaan.
Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi sa higaan.
Pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay.
Tutal hindi na naman ako magtatagal.

Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw,
hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay
At bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan.
At huwag kang mag-alala, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha,
ibubulong ko sa kanya na pagpalain ka sana ...
Dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama't ina...
