"Amazing love, oh what sacrifice,
the Son of God, given for me.
My debt He paid
and my death He died,
that I might live,
that I might live."
i have heard the medley of both "amazing love" songs by acapella praise several years back, and i must say that it was very lovely ;)
tonight, i say goodbye to a friend who has been faithful to me for more than 5 years. she who has been with me through hours of walking down the streets of kuala lumpur. she who has trudged the minnesotan snow with me one halloween night. she who has boosted my confidence on countless client meetings. she who has rejoiced with me on several weddings.
even in her last hour, she did not let me down. she made sure i was safe home before she breathed her last. i will remember her long after she is gone.
(pardon the melodramatics, i have just watched 300 with my friends :P )
i'm talking about my favorite pair of sandals, of course :P tonight, i saw that the soles were breaking apart and beyond repair. it's just sad, because i've grown attached to this particular pair. it's the first pair of sandals i've ever bought with my own money. you can say that i could just as easily buy a replacement, but shoe-shopping has never been easy for me. i hate shoes that can pass off as lethal weapons (death to stilettos!), so my choices are very limited. i hope i can find a suitable replacement soon, as i'm attending another wedding a few weeks from now.
i will surely miss my sandals. my next pair will have some big shoes to fill ;)
my latest craving, discovered when k.dei and i watched the free sugarfree concert in eastwood last january 13.
the different "flavors" of buko ni fruitas -- buko fruit salad (the ones i bought in paseo had strawberry and lychee), buko halo-halo, buko strawberry, buko mangga
here is a poem i wrote last year, at a major point in my life. and since i changed my blog title, i thought that this would make an appropriate "first" post.
sleepless
(5/21/2006)
i'm losing sleep over you
and i don't know what to do
you're an itch i can't scratch
a butterfly i can't catch
a dream that i want to come true
i'm losing sleep over you
and there's not much i can do
but to lie awake at night
wishing i may, wishing i might
i'm losing sleep over you
and there's nothing i can do
but to wait
and hope
and lose sleep
over you
