Who's sweet now, Dik!

Well, here you go with the chords you didn't find, and after claiming that you're sweet. HAHAHA.

It's easy! Learn it for our next "GIG."


Feels Like Home

D A D
There's something in your eyes,
A
Makes me want to lose myself,
G D A
Makes me want to lose myself, in your arms.
D A D
There's something in your voice,
A
Makes my heart beat fast.
G D A
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life.


Bm G D A G
If you knew how lonely my life has been,
G D A
And how long I've been so alone.
Bm G D A G
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come a - long,
G D A
And change my life the way you've done.


D A
It feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
G D A
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.

It feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
G D A D
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.


D A D A
A win - dow breaks down a long dark street,
G D A
And a siren wails in the night.
D A D A
But I'm all right, 'cause I have you here with me.
G D A
And I can almost see through the dark there's light.



Bm G D A G
If you knew how much this moment means to me,
G D A
And how long I've waited for your touch.
Bm G D A G
And if you knew how happy you are ma - king me,
G D A
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much.



D A
It feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
G D A
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.
D A
It feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
G D A D
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
G D A D
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.

Striking Similarities

We all know we have plump lips.

I guess its the "in" thing because I've spotted them flaunting them lips.

(admittedly, Dylande don't need fake plump lips. Her lips are plump as it is.)

What is it really like?

What is it really like to lose a family member?

When this happens, people usually tell us the more common lines like,

“It’s okay. He lived a long life.”
“At least his pain didn’t last longer.”
“He’s in a much better place.”
And so on…

I’m guilty of using these lines. Come to think of it, what else is there to say?
I used to think these lines were enough to console the people who were left behind.
But, coming from a different perspective, now being the person mourning, it’s different.

I’m a Catholic. And I believe in God. But this doesn’t take away the fact that I, too, mourn after death.
I cry not because I don’t want him in a happier place or I’d rather see him suffer. No. I cry because I remember all the memories we’ve had and realize that I won’t have him with me to share more. I cry because I know not having him in my family’s life would mean a huge space that no one else could ever fill up. His laugh, his hand, his voice, his smile- these are my tears.

You’re already missed, Tatay.

What rain can do.


IMG_62441

I personally love the shots.

IMG_62411

Made me think of how people take for granted the beauty of nature.

Well, take for granted is an understatement.

We kill.
