Samson

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Name Game in November 23

Death is you
Death is who
Death starts with an A
Ends with an N.

An enormous lie
A bag of money
Decays of flesh
Pencils, pens and cameras
Widows and orphans
Husbands and wives
A sister
A brother
A cousin
A friend
Lost.

Death is you
Death is who
Life starts with justice
And justice is still denied

Death is who
May Death be with you
Starts with an A
Ends with an N.

--- end impunity. Justice for the victims of Maguindanao Massacre!

What happened next?

Excerpts from the book Ignorance by Milan Kundera

I imagine the feelings of two people meeting again after many years. In the past they spent some time together, and therefore they think they are linked by the same experience, the same recollections. The same recollections? That's where the misunderstanding starts: they don't have the same recollections; each of them retains two or three small scenes from the past, but each has his own; their recollections are not similar; they don't intersect; and even in terms of quantity they are not comparable: one person remembers the other more than he is remembered; first because memory capacity varies among individuals (an explanation that each of them would at  least find acceptable), but also (and this is more painful) because they don't  hold the same importance for each other. When Irena saw Josef at the airport, she remembered every detail of their long-ago adventure; Josef remembered nothing. From the very first moment their encounter was based on an unjust and revolting inequality.

Sa aking pamilya

Ang taon na ito ay sa atin.

Taon ng muling pagbalik

at pag-alis

Pagpapamilya

Pag-aaral

Oportunidad

Mga bagong tahanan

Pagtatapos

Trabaho

at marami pang iba

Pagsasara  ng mga nakapinid na alaala

at pagtanaw sa hinaharap

Ang taon na ito ay sa atin

at lagi natin itong iisipin

Taon ng tagumpay

at ilang kabiguan

Ngunit hindi kailanman sumusuko

Dahil tayo'y nasanay na

sa  mga pagsubok

na hanggang ngayon

Ay hindi tayo kayang gapiin.

Ang taon na ito ay sa atin.

Sa iyo at sa akin

At umpisa nang mas maraming pang taon.

ng pagsisikap

ng pagkakaisa

at pagdiriwang.

Song number 1

Landslide 
Songwriters: Nicks, Stevie;

Took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder, children get older
I'm getting older too, well


Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder, children get older
I'm getting older too, well, I'm getting older too

So take this love and take it down
Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide brought down

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe, well maybe, well maybe
The landslide will bring you down

10 years

I hope to see you

In the most beautiful place

Imaginable by humankind.

I wish you all the happiness

And good health

And everything that is worth remembering.

I want  you to be free

As much as I want myself to be too

And there is nothing more.
