alipin lyrics by shamrock

okay guys, due to insistent public demand!
for all those looking for the jeang geum and kapitan song
here it is!


Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip
Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana'y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin

[Chorus:]
ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
sana at iyong nariring
sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik...

Ayoko sa iba
Sayo ako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso't pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya

[Chorus:]
ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
sana at iyong nariring
sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik...

[Coda:]
Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta't sa akin wag kang mawawala
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik
Pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin

pa-valentines naman!

How Do I Love Thee?
By Elizabeth Barret-Browning

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints.
I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life;
and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death

taekowndo jin deserves to keep her gold

this piece is posted in support for national athlete esther marie "em-em" singson.

for those not in the know, she tested positive of diuretics NOT performance enhancing drugs. doctors in the sports world say diuretics can be used to mask up steriods in the body. em- em tested negative of steroids beofre the SEAG. now the reason she had diuretics in her system was because she used kankunis a brand of herbal slimming tea weeks before the sea games. she used that to loose weight to make it to her class in the games with no intention at all of cheating. it was an honest mistake and will not make her any less of a champion. she won the gold fair and square against the indonesian. i saw the game myself. she deserves to keep that gold.
