good to EAR... good to HEAR... a MUSIC from HEART to the HEART

     Tired of hearing loud music now a days???

why don't you try to listen to the music that 

brings back the old memories...

here is one of the music that my Lola loves to sing.

Title:          DAHIL SA IYO (Because of You). 1938.

Music :      Mike Velarde Jr;

Lyrics :      Dominador Santiago.

Sung by:    Diomedes Maturan

About : 

      Velarde's composition which is in slow duple time has been described as "being urbane. . .the slick verses masking provincial nostalgia." It is typically the music of the Big City of the 1930's with a sophistication and a lightness of sound that is still filled with the romanticism of the rustic Filipino lover. From its popularity with the Filipino movie crowd of the 1930s, it enjoyed a revival in the 1960's when it evolved into a classic art song with the interpretation of Aurelio Estanislao, followed by virtually all student singers of that time. Written by Velarde for the movie Bituing Marikit which starred Rogelio de la Rosa in 1937, "Dahil Sa Iyo" has been translated into English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and the local dialects.

take a trip to "Cavite's Finest"

  I've seen different sunsets in different places that I've been, and It's really hard to notice if which one of them is the most beautiful; it's like seeing different paintings from different artist. The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun's disk disappears below the horizon.Sunset colors are typically more brilliant than sunrise colors, because the evening air contains more particles than morning air.

Sunsets on other planets appear different because of the differences in the distance of the planet from the Sun, as well as different atmospheric compositions; so take a nice walk on the beach and take a caption of our finest sunset.

Where in the world you are?

Hello bloggers…are you having a great day today or are you still day dreaming in place where no one knows? Well I usually do that in my spare time... when I’m so stress and tired in the place where I’am, and then I’ll start to dream and dream and dream of a place where I could just sit and relax…watch the sunset and just hearing the birds singing up in the air, but when I open my eyes, I’m not there… gladly I wake up, before everyone see me in that position…but haven’t you ask yourself, where in the world you are? Or sometimes do you mind to ask yourself “why am I here?” I've been through a life that’s full of challenges and I also ask myself “why am I here?” then luckily one of my friend will answer me back “maybe there is a purpose.” But what if that purpose is already done? Would you ask yourself again why you’re here? And would you wait for your friend to answer you again “maybe there’s a purpose again?” sick and tired of that cycle… so I learned that every human alive will always and will always have its own purpose as long as he or she is alive but the thing is, if you’re tired of answering those purposes, just find yourself where in the world you are… then sit back, close your eyes, relax, and find some strength in the world where you are… then surely when you open your eyes you have a new strength to face the real world..have a good day :>

Say hello! the hammies are here!

"welcome to the world of hamsters"

some say "rat.''..some say "what's that?" but let me introduce to you

the reasons why I stay awake at night, the reason why I buy lots 

of sunflower seeds...meet my new buddies...my syrian hamsters...

syrian hamster belongs to the rodent family...so don't be confuse

if you see some little creatures running around your house...

you must be mistaken if you catch them...hamsters are nocturnal animals,

so stop wondering if you catch them sleeping in the morning and stay

awake the whole night...so if you want to have this little pet, just visit the nearest

petshop/animal clinic near you. :>

this is Morgan he is a male syrian hamster...a bought him for

about a month ago...he is an energetic but a little cute creature...

he loves to run on my bedrooms floor...

this little white gray with the wink eyes is Lulu. she is my female

syrian hamster...she is the shy one...she loves to mingle

on one side...and sniff some nuts from her cheek pouch..

both of my hamster Morgan and Lulu have their own facebook account

so be updated for my cute little buddies...and have some extra knowledge on

how you can keep them happy and healthy. :>

Goodbye, Theodore

You looked at me one morning;
and start chirping when you see me coming;
I open your door, and you began hopping
just like the other days, you came to me running.

You followed my footsteps everywhere I go;
then you step on my feet just to let me know;
grab a parsley and carrots on my hands;
and came back to me when you're already done.

Years past, and still you're here;
grabbing the chance of having you near;
with you beside me I have no fear;
knowing you don't wan't to see me in tears.

Then you glance at me the next morning;
and I looked in your eyes, but i see you crying
though I don't wan't to think what is this for;
but this is the only way to say Goodbye to my Theodore

a big LOVE for a small FRIEND

We have lots of pets ever since I was a child…but all of them are dogs…there is black, brown, white and  two colors. We have small dogs, big dogs that when he sit, he is as tall as a grown up child; but they we’re really amazing…they we’re just like a stress reliever…as good as a stress ball…maybe that’s why they we’re called “man’s best friend” because they we’re a great companion, a best friend, a brother, a sister or even a lover…but are dogs are the only man’s best friend? For me a big NO…3years ago I owned a pet name dodi, he is an Abyssinian guinea pig…I was so excited when my brother gave it to me…I first said “ay ang cute!!”  then in a glimpse it change everything, I wake up early just to feed him, I go to market just to buy cucumber and carrots that I didn’t do before…then I realize I became responsible, responsible to the fact that I do the things that I didn't do before, I clean up our house just to make sure that dodi won’t get any dirt from the floor, responsible to gather the things he need and keep it in a safe place…I took care of him as if he was my child…I researched the things that he need and studied it to know the things that are good and not for him…I feel I’m obsess at him…as if he was my boyfriend..then years past…my brother told “bakit kaya hindi natin ihanap ng partner si dodi” then I think of it maybe he’s right maybe we should get a partner for dodi… that day we met dinky an albino guinea pig…at first she’s so hard to handle but still I gave more patience to her and after a month of waiting, dodi became a guinea daddy…but after a week I notice that two of the baby guinea pigs are sick…so I place them in a cage where they can feel relax…but after a day they died…so sad that I didn’t  do anything just to survive them…so to become at ease of what happen I gave the other baby guinea pigs to my friends, because I’m afraid that I may not give them the attention they need… but it is worth it, I began to see that  dodi likes me too…he follows me everywhere I go…when I call his name,  he’ll come over…that’s the day that I realize that dodi is so sweet, he start to mumble every time he hears me coming, he follows me when he thinks its eating time, and one thing I miss is when he step on my feet just to get notice…when there are days that I’m sad, I just looked up on him…then all my worries are gone…that’s when I think that he don’t want me to look sad…November 2012 I notice that dodi is not feeling well I began to worry that he didn’t eat his favorite carrots, so I took him to the vet the next day; but I’m super disappointed that the doctor told me that he can’t do anything just to ease dodi’s pain…so we went home but when I look to dodi he is calm, he just lay on my arms and trying to tell me “don’t worry, I’m ok”…I gave his favorite cucumber and cut it into pieces then he eat…I can’t go because of him, I cry because of him, I get sad because of him, I talk to him as if he’ll understand me; I tell him “I’m ok dodi go to sleep” but then he looked up to me telling me that he don’t wants to live me alone..i hold him, I hug him, that’s the day that I really can’t feel his heartbeat…it stop. I cried, I simply cried. so I decided to go…because I feel that if I’m there, dodi will still push himself to stay even if he can’t…then one day my mother told me “dodi is gone”…I’m happy but then I’m sad…happy because he will not suffer for too long…sad because I lost a friend, a best friend, a companion, a brother and a lover…so to all my future readers love your pets as is they where your lover, give them the attention that they need and don’t be shy to talk to them and tell them how you really love them :>
