on losing someone

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

Prayer on the Anniversary of a Deceased Person

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."
