on losing someone

“Perhaps the stars in the sky, are loved ones letting us know they are near, by guiding us through the night”



O Lord, 
the God of mercies, 
grant unto the souls of Thy servants 
the anniversary day of whose burial we are keeping, 
a place of solace, 
of peaceful rest, 
of glorious light.

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

TRACY CHAPMAN 

"Fast Car"

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

NAG IISANG BITUIN

by: christian bautista

Sa lamig ng Gabi
May pupuno ng puwang sa iyong tabi
Pagmamahal ang tanging hatid
Patitingkarin ng iyong kislap sa dilim

Malayo man maihahatid din ng hangin
Ang mga hangarin na puno ng pag ibig

Chorus:
Ang pangarap ko'y para sa'yo 
Nag iisangbituin 
Laman ng puso at damdamin ko
Nag iisang bituin
Kahit saan ka man dalhin
Ng tadhana'y dama parin
Dahil tayo'y nakatitik ,sa iisang bituin

Tanging hiling ng puso ko'y 
Tibayana ang loob sa iyong mga pagsubok

Malayo man maihahatid din ng hangin
Ang mga hangarin na puno ng pag ibig

(repeat chorus)

Tulad ng mga tala sa langit 
Ika'y magniningning

Ang pangarap ko'y para sa'yo 
Nag iisangbituin 
Laman ng puso at damdamin ko
Nag iisang bituin
Kahit saan ka man dalhin
Ng tadhana'y dama parin
Dahil tayo'y nakatitik ,sa iisang bituin

black pack

This really happened wow

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man.

Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her

"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"

- "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess "Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."

The hostess left and returned some minutes later.

"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class. But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."

And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued

"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class. However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person."

And turning to the black man, the hostess said:

"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."

And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

SHARE IF YOU ARE AGAINST RACISM!
