Last Song Syndrome: A Tribute to Lola

October 19, 2008 - My maternal lola died on the first day of Final Exams and buried on the last day of the semester. It wasnt easy accepting the fact that the granny i grew up with is now way unreachable. She died at age of 83, bearing the disease carcinoma papillae. She was strong enough to survive it for more than 2 years. She died not knowing she has cancer. She was an amazing granma. Every time we have our reunion, she would sing her spanish songs, holding a baseball cap that will roam around the venue (for donation). and went she's done singing with enough money on the baseball cap, she would tell all grandchildren and great grandchildren to line up and she will distribute all the money she gathered from her "lil concert". She's strong and very much capable too. She bore 12 hyperactive children that gave her 48 grandchildren, and that grandchildren bore 29 great grand children. So you could just imagine how we celebrate our reunions! And from now on, all of this reunion will be missing a piece. who will sing spanish songs now? Who will tell the grandchildren and the great grandchildren to line up? She's just on our heart now. and that memory is the only thing that keep her alive in our hearts.





Chosen as Mine
by: Hillsong Australia

Here I am so close to you
Know my voice, I'll never leave you
For I have loved you since before the sands of time were made
I love you still and always will.
You're chosen as Mine

My Father wants to bless you now,
Receive from Him all that you'll ever need.
Come spend eternity with Me. My heart�s full of love for you.
I love you still and always will.
You're chosen as Mine.

Cries in the desert, My child, I hear them.
Tears in the valley, My lovely, I count them.
You're so precious; you were on My mind as I died.

I love you still, always will.
Chosen as Mine.





To my lola,
you will always be remebered and love. you will always have this special place in my heart. thank you for being the strength of my mom. Thank you for bearing her, and molding her into an extraordinary person. You will be miss for youre the one who binds us all. i love you lola.



Of love and other demons,

Cathie

Today's Best Site: Leaf 3

October 7, 2008 - Did you know that I have given birth to 13 59-day-old-babies, with face sponsored by different dads, and that I all of this 13 babies didnt come-out from my birthing path? How so? Well i have recently found this freakin cool website MAKEMEBABAIES.com, that will surely help couples find out what their babies will look like (and that can help some ambitious lil lady have a child with some celeb crushes). Makemebabies.com uses Baby Morphing, a new technology developed by Luxand , helps parents, couples and friends to see what their baby would look like based on their pictures alone. The technology only needs photos of the couple’s faces to generate a quality picture of their baby. The technology makes it really easy for couples to create and share babies’ pictures. Yet, Baby Morphing does not stop there, and allows making pictures of babies by taking only one photograph and mixing it with a stock photo of a celebrity or a member of a dating site, depending on the application.

So you wanna know what your babies will look like before giving birth? try visiting this page and you can make your own babies!



Here are some of my babies:




My son Sanuye Lydan
(and that's Mel, from the band Rockhound)





My son David Leinad
(and that's David Beckham!)


Of love and other demons,

Last Song Syndrome: Episode 4

October 5, 2008 - There are so many arguments on why is it that the film Narnia is seen on the spiritual bright side and why Harry Potter is viewed as the evil witchy bad influence movie for kids. Well they are of different genre I guess and that people are just more comfortable with the fact that they are nature worshipers than magical "wingardium leviosa". Dont get me wrong, I'm not a Harry Potter hater. In fact I'm one of the sequel addict that walks in the surface of this planet. Hear that Eli? I'm not a hater. :) (see Eli's comment here)
So going back to my Last Song Syndrome episode for this week, I remember hearing this song on the last part of the film. Yes, in the credits part. There's just something about this song that made me love it. Well aside from having this comfort listening to the beautiful shrill voice of Regina Spektor, the lyrics is quite meaningful and soothing. Plus the lyrics quite apply to every theme: from goodbyes, hope, friendship, love and all.. Just the same with all my LSS I have highlighted my favorite lines. My most favorite among all the higlighted is: All you can do is try to know who youre friends are, as you head off to war. So without much ado, I now present to you Regina Spektor!

The Call
by: Regina Spektor


It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye


Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye..

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye..


Of love and other demons,
Cathie
