<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">If it makes you happy, then go on</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There's really no point in holding on</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Everything's crushing right before my eyes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If roads should be crossed, then move along</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tomorrow will find us breaking free</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let go of the tears now</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You hid it far too long</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It's time to face what's really going on</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The mountains are far up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The journey will be rough</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But staying stranded is just not any good</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If we're empty inside, then breathe in</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There's life outside our love long waiting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It doesn't mean all we had was nothing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If goodbye is now, I must be strong</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The shelter's really been demolished</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Come and go</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Love and war</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The battlefield's inside my heart</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Wash away</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Darkest days</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Leave us only with the good</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And I swear, there's so much of it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You've made my heart skip a beat</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>2013</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The year
Carly Rae Jepsen and Gotye faded after having the biggest hits from the
previous year. The year Lady Gaga and Britney’s comebacks failed to have the
impact they used to have. The year Miley Cyrus bounced back and Robin Thicke
got his first number 1 despite their very disturbing VMA performance. The year
Bruno Mars and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis became kings and Queen B (Yoncé)
snatched the bestselling female album of 2013 with just 3 weeks left.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Here’s the
rundown of my personal favorite songs of 2013. I tried my best to rank them
accordingly, but the top 10 are almost interchangeable. Such a good year of
music in general, so I hope you discover some songs you haven’t heard yet
through this list. (I chose to list the number one song first to give it maximum exposure because this post is too lengthy.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1. <b>Counting
Stars</b> <i>OneRepublic</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This year,
we find OneRepublic at the top of the list because they have made this
trademark sound only they can deliver. Their album Native is as cohesive as it
can get, and every song deserves to be heard by the world. It only began
climbing to its peak five months after its release. Proves that even though
artists or bands aren’t the biggest, wonderful songs will always get noticed by
the public.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">2. <b>Just Give
Me A Reason</b> <i>P!nk featuring Nate Reuss</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A number one
piano ballad is hard to achieve these days when people want upbeat dance music.
However, P!nk always delivers great ballads whenever she lets her tough
exterior down. There’s something really special with how her and Nate’s voice
sound together. With the right song such as this, everybody will be swoon away
and emotions will be felt.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3. <b>Do What U
Want </b><i>Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A receiver
of many criticisms, Gaga finds time to write a song saying everybody can have a
piece of her, but not a piece of her heart and mind. The RnB vibe is new to her
sound, but it works like magic.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4. <b>This Is
Gospel </b><i>Panic! at the Disco</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Panic!
unleashes the gospel by which they stand: more of a wakeup call for them or
their audience to believe “they haven’t seen the best of us yet.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">5. <b>Bucket
List</b><i> Nelly Furtado</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The ever so
hopeful Nelly lets us know that love is the top priority in her bucket list,
along with other items that will make her life experiences memorable. The video
depicts the buoyancy of just going where life takes you while enjoying the
adventures.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">6. <b>Take Me
Home</b><i> Cash Cash featuring Bebe Rexha</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cash Cash
brought us the best EDM love song of 2013, with Bebe Rexha singing about how
the love of your life still feels like home no matter what you go through.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">7. <b>Summertime
Sadness</b> <i>Lana Del Rey</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Who knew
this song can be a club anthem? Whatever sadness Lana meant during summertime,
it’s all good now, isn’t it? </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">8. <b>Clarity
</b><i>Zedd featuring Foxes</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Legendary
beat by DJ Zedd accompanied by the legendary voice of Foxes. We just got
introduced to two new big names, y’all!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">9. <b>Gorilla
</b><i>Bruno Mars</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mars
transforms into a sexy beast singing a song about how good his sex is.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">10. <b>Red
</b><i>Taylor Swift</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The highest
country song (which I think should’ve also been released to Pop radio instead
of Everything Has Changed) comes from Taylor Swift singing the colors of love
she’s gone through several times. This is her pot of gold, I guess.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<b>Night<i> </i></b><i>Zedd featuring Hayley Williams</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The breakout
DJ of 2013 follows up his success by re-releasing his album with this gem.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">12. <b>Can’t
Hold Us</b> <i>Macklemore and Ryan Lewis </i><i>featuring Ray Dalton</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The kings of
2013 anthems, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis create a song about pushing the
boundaries and letting no one put limits on what you want to do. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">13. <b>Ikot-Ikot
</b><i>Sarah Geronimo</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Judge me all
you want, but this song has a fresh factor and LSS inducing. The lyrics are so
poetic, I can only dream of writing it my own.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">14. <b>Still
Into You </b><i>Paramore</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Paramore is
in a better place now, singing about falling in love over and over again and
not getting depressed about it.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">15. <b>Love
Somebody</b> <i>Maroon 5</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Maroon 5
slowed it down, stripped it down, and played a love song about taking it all
the way.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">16. <b>Say
Something</b> <i>A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Forgive the
repetitive lyrics, an up and coming band and Christina Aguilera made an epic
ballad that will be remembered for years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">17. <b>Cannonball<i>
</i></b><i>Lea Michele</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Lea moves on
from tragedy and her voice clearly depicts it. Kudos to Sia for the great
lyrics.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">18. <b>Something
I Need </b><i>OneRepublic</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A song for
someone you want to live with and you want to die with. I wish we all come to
this point.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Kelly opens

not about clothes and stains.</span></div>

It </b><i>Icona Pop featuring Charlie XCX</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">One of the
best club anthems of 2013, worn out because so many ads and TV shows used it.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">68. <b>The Way
</b><i>Ariana Grande</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Mariah
wannabe is growing up and showing the world how it’s done. Hooray for new breed
of singers who can actually sing!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">69. <b>We Can’t
Stop</b> <i>Miley Cyrus</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is
Miley trying to be urban with all that dance and unapologetic grammatical
errors. Catchy at best but not too memorable, really.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: small;">73. <b>Here's
To Never Growing Up</b> <i>Avril Lavigne</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This song
was obviously designed to sound like Complicated. Even the video had throwback
elements. It’s nice to look back on how awesome Avril was, but this was still
good.</span></div>

</b><i>Ciara</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ciara lets
us in on how much inviting she is during sexy time with her boo. Such a
sensual, romantic track indeed.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">75. <b>Roar
</b><i>Katy Perry</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Granted,
this song is full of clichés, but you know, it’s Katy Perry’s comeback single
and it’s catchy. No way you can resist that.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;">79. <b>Tonight
</b><i>Jessica Sanchez featuring Ne-Yo</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Even a great
catchy tune with the help of Ne-Yo didn’t make Jessica a big star. I blame her
messy record label Interscope for not having a radio release when the video
came out.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

Love </b><i>John Mayer featuring Katy Perry</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Arguably the
hottest love birds in music preach about how you can’t really choose who you
love.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This song
serves as a good introduction of Emeli Sande and her unique soulful voice.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

lyrics can get cheesy at time, Britney still did well with this ballad
co-penned with Sia.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Although not
as catchy as her breakout hit, Carly delivers with her album Kiss with this
single as one of its highlights.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Lourde’s

music scene. Her whole album, Pure Heroine, proves she’s a genius.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Necessary Endings and New Beginnings"</span></b></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the January Theme of my CBTL planner, and it is so appropriate in my life right now. January always brings this fresh feeling of hope and inspiration, but this year, I feel there is more--so much more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are more improvements that need to be started. There are more challenges that need to be took. There are more blessings that need to be appreciated. There are more lessons that need to be learned passionately. There are more dreams that need to be reached. That only means one thing--I will be the best Kevin yet this 2014.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Words are the very life of me, I always say. These words I write on a daily basis now is my driving force. When your heart is just so full, you can't help but let it all out. Just like the tears or the laughters I produce whenever writing. These are emotions put into words and immortalized. This is my source of joy, pride, and fulfillment. Now is the time to strengthen them by putting actions behind them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am ready and I will conquer. I know every challenge ahead I'm about to face is only there to make me be the best version of myself. There's no other purpose behind them. Yes, I cry, and that is good. It means I'm ready for change and I'm ready to fight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There's no better way to kickstart this new beginning by joining this project, "My 500 Words", and commit to write at least 500 words a day to complete my gameplan for the whole year. There's no topic, no limitations, no editing--JUST SHOW UP. Show up at your desk and actually write. I've been calling myself a writer, born writer, for so long. But I only published 26 blog entries last year, averaging 1 blog entry per 14 days. That's how seldom I write, which is good, but not good enough if I want to be near where I want to be. I have a goal, and I will give everything I can to make it happen this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What Do I Want to Thrive in My Life This Year?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's the first question on the planner. And I will discuss my aspirations this year, one by one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Travel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finally have some savings to start travelling. Well, I really didn't want to travel much before for two reasons: fear and inconvenience. Unfamiliar places make me fearful and staying outside places I call home brings such inconvenience to me. This year, I WILL TRAVEL for the sake of new experiences and a life lived to the fullest. Coming out of my shell and onto the world is something I'd like to start doing this year. First stop, I'll climb my first mountain with college friends this month. Wish me luck!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Health</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I WILL BE FIT. I've been carrying these extra pounds far too long now. I won't say much here. Just come January 2015 and I will be 30-40 pounds lighter. So help me God!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Acceptance</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Saying goodbye has long been a weakness of mine. I'm not saying I won't ever feel pain when it's time to say goodbye. I'm just saying that this year, I WILL NOT BE A CONTROL FREAK AND I WILL BE MORE ACCEPTING like I already know the reasons behind things. I want to believe endings are always for the better. Although when we feel the pain of goodbyes, it never makes sense, there is really sense in all of it. This year, I will accept changes, along with delayed or cancelled plans, inconveniences, and past mistakes I can do nothing about. Overall, I just want to be more accepting and a lot less controlling. I should know by now that I can't control everything. In fact, A LOT of things are beyond my control, and I just have to accept that fact.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Productive</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last but not the least, I WILL BE PRODUCTIVE. To be more specific, I want to hone my talents more and revive those I've completely abandoned. It's supposed to be easy, just show up and stop being a lazy ass. This world and life in general is full of inspirations. There's really no excuse to be unproductive. Life is moving, so should I.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's to celebrating changes and being focused to reach the finish line. Let's keep each other winning all months of the year!</span></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am unhappy. Despite the automatic smile on my face, there’s a longing in my heart that I’m not quite familiar with. So I begin every single day trying to quench this thirst, even though I don’t know what it is exactly I’m thirsty of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am unguided. The emotions my heart feels and the thoughts that linger on my mind are what dictate my every action. Though I know these shouldn’t be my guide, my feet don’t have any other choice. Not now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am undetermined. There are changes in life I know I need to do. Some I conquer with gladness in my heart, but I still feel weak. I know I still have a lot to face. I want to witness myself conquer every internal battle. I want to take the torch and run so effortlessly and freely, despite the doubts this world gives me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am uneducated. I keep living life waking up as the same person I was the day before, with the same challenges to face. I need help but I don’t exactly know how to find a compromise that would satisfy my heart yet make me progress in this life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am unimportant. A mere speck in this world with no gigantic contribution to actually matter. Sometime, I ask if there are going to be people around me when it’s time to face trials or defeat. I want to make a mark, not by the things I am, but by the things I do for other people. However, I know there’s a long road ahead of me for me to actually achieve that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am inconsistent. That’s why I run in circles and daunted with this feeling of despair. How can I achieve the things I want to? How can I get there when I can’t even see a bridge or a helping hand? I have scarce resources, especially faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I am breathing. It’s my eternal excuse. It’s my reason for living, albeit desperately. To worship the Almighty is something I almost completely disregarded. There is almost no instance when I actually stop and acknowledge His greatness. Yet I breathe and live every second. No interruptions, just obstacles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’m not writing this as a way to gain hope. There’s no definite reason except the fact that I am so burdened with loneliness but I have no one to talk to. Therefore, I write. I just want to be special for even just a couple of people. So that every time I feel exasperated, I can count on someone to listen and make my life matter no matter what.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A friend to lean on is worth more than everything I have been chasing for recently. But sadly, I don’t have that commodity. I reach out to my keyboard and type my heart out, wishing, deep inside, that somebody would care enough to get to this point, be concerned with my wellbeing, ask me how I feel, and make time to let me share my soul and listen to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I’m not expecting. I know everybody is busy with their own desperations that no one would care enough to read this wordy entry. I know the seed I’ve sown are so, so scarce. I know my selfishness, my wicked ways. But in time, it will change. I will fight for my life to change because I want to be happy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You simply can never forget your first. I will never forget the way I looked at you 10 feet away. I don't know, I will never know, why a glance at a normal person like you have made me feel so much happiness that even I can't explain up to now. I will never forget the images that came to mind during that whole week I waited just to have the courage to admit my feelings to you. I saw myself behind your every smile, inspiration to your every word, reason for your every deed, and companion to your every dream. That feeling is something you won't feel every day. It's a gift that comes just once in a blue moon. That fantasy that occurs even after reality takes place. Thank you for showing me what it feels like. You were the experience of a lifetime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will never forget the first time you kissed me and held my hand. It's no magic, I must admit. Our hands were not the perfect fit. But perfect is overrated. The feeling you get of finally having a taste of reality out of your fantasy? It's priceless. I will never forget the taste of your first kiss and how it changed overtime. There were subtle differences, sometimes I can't fully recall because the moment is just so captivating. But every time it happens, I know I am happy and I know I am alive. Not one kiss I didn't mean. It all came from my heart, and it's only for you and nobody else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will never forget how extreme our lows have been. Every tear, every fear, every anger, every regret, every argument that left us both defeated. I will never forget how we got through them, how we handled the damage left by our intense feeling of hatred toward each other. I will never forget the raised voices and fists that left us all wanting more in the end. I will never forget all the broken rules and the best excuses, the senseless offenses and nonsense jealousy. It's all an experience that will be nothing but a great lesson for me. Yes, I am not the perfect lover, but I'm real. I'm flawed and I'm human. You can feel me, and God, I know you felt me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will never forget all your gestures of love, big or small. I will never forget the first time you called just to say you love me, or the first time you heard a song, thought of me, and made me know how lucky you feel to have me, or the first time a song and staring at my face sent you to tears. I will never forget the first time you broke my heart and how sorry you were. I will never forget every regret you had and how you've changed, yes, you always change for the better even if I don't sometimes. I will never forget all your simple, random gifts, and even those surprises that completely took my breath away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will never forget all the trials we, as one, won. I will never forget the zeal we have to fight for what we think we deserve. I will never forget the assurance we feel whenever something is up against us. I will never forget the battles that made us lean on each other, rely upon each other, and cared even more for each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But most importantly, I will never forget the way I feel when I'm with you. I will never forget how you make me feel so loved, secured, and worthy. I will never forget how sure I am that you are the one created just for me. I am still sure of that, but you say you're tired and you have given up. So please allow me to still believe, as long as I can, even if it is just a fantasy. Allow me to still believe that one day, you will make me feel like the luckiest man alive during our wedding day. Allow me to still believe that one day, all mornings of my life would be the greatest moment of my life because you'll always be there sleeping by my side. Allow me to still believe that one day, when the good old days are gone, we will still care for each other like we haven't aged at all. Allow me to still believe that one day, you will cherish me and call me your own even if I am long gone in this world. Allow me to still believe that you will never tire of me, of saying yes to me, of spending every moment of your life with me, of being one and the same as me. If all these words are not yet enough to take all the pain I've caused you away, then I don't know what to do anymore. At least I didn't give up on you. And allow me to dedicate and offer this only to you. This... is the greatest love letter I could ever write.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So 2013 is ending in 40 minutes. Aww, mine was so short yet eventful. It was indeed full of highs and lows, but I still can't believe it's already over. 12 months or 365 days went by so so fast.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I still remember <a href="http://ardentvineyard.blogspot.com/2013/01/sa-uulitin.html">leaving TrueLogic on January 11</a>, going to work at SEOP on January 17 and then getting laid off after only 11 days of service. <a href="http://ardentvineyard.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-inbetweener.html">I remember bumming for two months</a>, resulting in an estimated 20-pound weight gain. I remember getting rejected for about five companies before finally landing a job again at Vocus. The best part is it's in Zuellig, a very elegant and high-end building.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember meeting my new housemates, Jaynard and Elisa, for the first time. We went swimming just because. I remember our housewarming party and how fun it was because so many of their friends came with food as gifts. I remember having at least two drinking sessions with these guys and feeling like it's the best thing ever. After around seven years, I remember finally drinking alcohol again and enjoying it without overdrinking (or so I hope).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember meeting my office teammates for the first time. One look at Sol and you'll know he will do anything to maintain a good image, just like a politician. One look at Karlin and I already know how kikay she is. One look at Zars and... oh, wait, she was my officemate at SEOP and I didn't even realize it. Haha. I remember being rejected for the first time I was interviewed by our boss and being called back saying I actually got the job, thanks to the HR recruiter who helped make it happen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went to Vocus the next day to sign the contract and met Luisa, this cute little babyfaced girl. Yes, looks can be deceiving. Turns out she's a feisty "Madame" that will kick your ass if you ever need to get spanked (or if she's just feeling "meh"). I remember being LATE on my first day. Haha. Thank God I was not the last to arrive in the training room when I first met Jar, our trainer. She is such a classy lady and on first look, you'll know she doesn't eat Angel's Burger or Minute Burger. I remember the tongue twisters she asked us to recite. I was feeling cold and nervous because I have poor diction and pronunciation. Thank God she didn't call me when the tongue twister was full of the "th" sound which I can't pronounce properly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember the presentation led by Brian and Dannie, my beki friends/batchmates. I think I was the one who laughed the hardest. They are the best natural comedians Batch 5 (of trainees) has. I remember the very bland "Wheel of Fortune" segment Zars and I presented. I remember losing to the other team (I forgot if we were the Sky or the Wall team, sorry) but without any bitterness because they so deserve it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember meeting Mira for the first time knowing we were meant to be friends. Now, we are, and I feel so blessed because she is a witty, hilarious, and crazy person who helps bring out the kamalditahan in all of us. I remember the huge pizzas my batchmates and I decided to buy for the team as a thank you token for welcoming us and helping us learn the basics of our job. The pizza was underwhelming but the night was fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember getting the 2pm to 11pm shift and enjoying it. I remember getting to know Wilfred, who got along with Karlin, James, and I on the said shift. These guys prompted my desire for smartphones which I once despised because I hated anything touchscreen. I remember Karlin and James discovering that I do this close to a moan sound every time I eat something that blows my mind. I discovered it with them because our food trips sometimes are just so epic! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember Raz, who was supposed to work at 11pm, arriving an hour earlier almost constantly. I remember thinking she did this so she could chat with me before her shift starts. I never asked her this, but I think I'm just being delusional for thinking that. Haha. Now, we are together on the night shift and we know a little too much about each other on some areas of our lives. She provided 7 out of 12 stamps for me to get the CBTL planner I have lusted for. How sweet, especially because I would never do that for any friend. haha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, basically, from May to now, my life revolved around work and workmates most of the time. Some other portions of my life I can't share here. I just wrote this to remind myself of how great this year was overall. I am Dory, one who forgets a thing minutes after it happened. I know I have a lot more I can share here, but unfortunately, that's all I can remember right now.</span><br />

<span class="null" style="font-size: large;">Turns out I'm still broken<br />
Turns out <span class="null">I'm </span>still sad<br />
Turns out <span class="null">I'm </span>still longing<br />
Defeated deep inside<br />
<br />
I'm speechless and full of words at the same time<br />
Never thought I'd feel like surrendering your presence in my life</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is me</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Knowing we've drifted way too far to be rescued</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But now I don't really know where to go from here</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Turns out I'm still hung up</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Turns out I'm still crushed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Turns out I'm still feeding</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The leech that leaves me empty</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm dead numb and heartbroken at the same time</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Never though I'd face tomorrow with someone else by my side</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is me</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Alone on the road to face a new beginning</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Come what may, I have no choice but to keep hopes up</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The ashes blind me</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But I don't really care</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The waves caressing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This lonely heart of mine</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It will take time to see again</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ive just began clearing the rain</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lover, stay, lover, go</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's always been a tug of war</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And when it's time to turn the lights off</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We both end up feeling defeated</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you see where this is headed?<br />Yes, we did, but we didn't care</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One kiss and it's all gone, or so it seemed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, knowing that we see the same stars just ain't enough</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, enduring the pain is better than giving up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But this time, we just have to<br />Surrender, start to flee</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Run so far, relentlessly</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">End up here, broken but free</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Love is lost, but isn't gone</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Take the load out my life</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take the bad, the good, and the past</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And when it's time to face the crossroads</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We both end up feeling so hopeless</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you feel the pain I'm feeling?<br />Yes, you do, but there's no more choice</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One day, it will make sense </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I feel so empty handed</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Having nowhere to run</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I left my all completely</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">All the traces are gone</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In circles, I do run</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But that’s just no excuse</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Cause when it’s time to face the final hurdle</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Cause when you’re at the bottom of the barrel</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I guess there’s nowhere else to go but up</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s easier to fill an empty cup</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I woke up facing the brightest side of the sun</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Inside myself, I’m pretty sure I’ve just begun</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Equipped to win the battle</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can’t help but be stunned</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For realizations have</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fired up my vision’s run</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I may have started rough</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But believing’s enough</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘Cause today is diff’rnt</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now is the time to face the final hurdle</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">No longer at the bottom of the barrel</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, I’ve got nowhere else to go but up</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Passion’s bursting</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s no returning</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I know it takes a lot to start from scratch</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just tell yourself, one day the eggs will hatch</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearts break everyday<br />For finding reasons to stay<br />Is not always enough<br />Can't stay in the gray<br />For in the sand, we both lay<br />Praying for some relief<br /><br />Can't play pretend no more<br />And when I lie alone tonight<br />I won't let this wrap me in fright<br /><br />'Cause for a moment, it felt fine<br />For a moment, it felt right<br />'Cause for a moment it felt like<br />We can wash away the pain with rain<br />'Cause for a moment, it felt lost<br />A wretched treasure with no cost<br />Living a lie that a day would come<br />When I'll be holding you with pride<br />So in this moment, I'm letting go<br /><br />Can't find one right way<br />Uncertainties fill my days<br />Does this mean it's over?<br />Tears won't turn away<br />Can't keep saying it's okay</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fools never see the end<br /><br />I left the battlefield<br />'Cause when I lie alone tonight<br />I want to see a brand new sight<br /><br />'Cause for a moment, it felt fine<br />For a moment, it felt right<br />'Cause for a moment it felt like<br />We can wash away the pain with rain<br />'Cause for a moment, it felt lost<br />A wretched treasure with no cost<br />Living a lie that a day would come<br />When I'll be holding you with pride<br />So in this moment, I'm letting go<br /><br />I'm letting go of things ahead<br />You can't keep suffering in my bed<br />Your eyes deserve to see the sun<br />Your love will always be the one</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve had so much of you<br />Breathe in every single part of you<br />I hold the back of your dreams<br />Cradle you to sleep all night<br /><br />I’ve so much love for you<br />That this heart breaks in two<br />I can’t stand days without you near<br />To see your face so close to mine<br /><br />I just want to hold you near right now<br />If all I have’s the price to pay then say so<br />I don’t even have a picture of you to cry on<br />I don’t even know how to reach you even through dreams<br /><br />Fall asleep beside me again<br />The sensation has long been forgotten<br />And I don’t want that to happen<br />No, not this way<br />No, not ever<br /><br />Let me in not one more time<br />All I want is all of you<br />I know it’s too much to do<br />But it’s the only way<br />I ever look at you<br />I don’t want just your thoughts<br />Make me alive<br />All days of my life<br /><br />I’ve lost it all<br />I feel it so strongly<br />That I can’t deny<br /><br />You used to be so close to me<br />Not one question<br />It was meant to be<br />But days of dread outnumber precious ones<br />I don’t want to do this<br />But it’s the only thing I feel<br /><br />We’ve lost so much<br />Oh please, don’t let this fade<br />Wake up<br />I know deep inside that heart<br />Is something more than spark<br />Wake up<br />I know you so well<br />I believe it won’t ever run out<br />Wake up<br />I want to touch the fire again<br />Nothing is ever too much<br />‘Cause you have my entirety<br />So blessed when you and me<br />Can run abound so free<br /><br />It’s not every day that you’ll see<br />Something so beautiful<br />It’s not every day that I’d feel scar free<br />But when I do, I know all I want is you<br /><br />The past is my eternal suicide<br />I don’t know if it will ever stop haunting me<br />But it’s the only way I can feel heaven<br />You’re my angel and giving up is unacceptable<br />If all that’s left of me would be you<br />Then so be it, that’s all I want</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Was how you got to sleep</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Knowing I’m in too deep</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Caught in your empty snare</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now I have to endure</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">All these judging stares</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You could’ve cut my pain short</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">But instead, you’ve <span style="font-size: large;">reveled</span> forth</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You made me your fool</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">But not anymore</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy first anniversary, degree!
Exactly one year ago, I graduated from college along with a little bit more
than a thousand other CvSUeños. After that, my family ate at King Bee for lunch,
and that’s all I can remember. It has been an eventful year. It’s true—your 20s
is nothing but extreme, there’s no mediocre days. Either you’re overwhelmed with
happiness, excitement, and opportunities, or you’re restlessly defeated by
problems, difficulties, and pressures. I’ve learned, and still learning, to just
make every moment count. Treasure the positives and don’t let the negatives get
the best of you because they come and go. Both are gifts given to make you who
you are.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have both enjoyed and suffered
my journey as a clueless young professional. I went AWOL, resigned, got laid
off, rejected offers, got rejected, got rejected then accepted, and escaped out
of interviews. As I look back now to the year I just had, I can’t help but
smile. I got to meet great friends, complicated friends, some jerks, and the
best boss ever, I got paid for what I love doing, I got sick of what I love
doing, I cried, I wasted money, I experienced independence for the first time, and
the list just goes on and on. It was an exciting, draining, and fulfilling
year.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This year, I got introduced to
the reality of life. It’s nice that majority of it all happened in such a
beautiful and organized place like Ayala Avenue. I’ve learned how to compromise
my dreams and my financial needs. I’m not a rich kid from a grand family, but I
do have my blessings from the gracious Him. My dreams are becoming clearer to
me, well, most days. I have to learn how to stand firm and constantly do things
to make them happen. They’re my dreams anyway—the only person who needs to
believe them and has to act on them is me.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Today, I signed the fourth job
offer of my life (technically the fifth). It was a long and emotion-filled day.
It’s kind of interesting because the process of getting this fourth job involves
my three previous employers. Someone from my first company referred me, another
one from my third company got in with me, and I (with A LOT of guilt) retracted
the contract offered by my second company I just signed a day before. It’s
really sad and tragic that the call I’ve been waiting for came 9 hours after I
signed the contract. My best friend tried to stop me from withdrawing the
contract, but my former boss, being the greatest boss ever that she is, told me
to go and grab the opportunity. Her kindness will always amaze me.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The great thing is I have a lot
more years ahead of me—to make things right, to continue the hunger for
learning, to improve every day, to make my dreams come true (cheesy), and to
provide wonderful things for my family. It’s been a year of new ventures and
accomplishments, with a lot of hurdles faced and conquered. I know the road
ahead is difficult, but I have no choice but to keep going. As Stephen King
said, <span class="st">“if God gives you something you can do, why in </span><i><span style="font-style: normal;">God's
name</span></i><span class="st"> wouldn't you do it?</span>” The least I can do for myself is enjoy the ride. I can do it. Definitely.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You adopted me, like a small child yearning for lost affection. A few days
ago I was down, but then you came and build me up. Just like an old friend who
knew how to make me calm when waves are rushing. I’d admit that I didn’t want
to welcome you into my heart. You were stressful because you came as quick as
thunder. You came when I wanted even just a brief rest. You came when I know I
was not ready at all. You came when I wanted to go elsewhere. Nevertheless, you
came. What can a stranger do? Succumb to your call, I did.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The roar of doubt and regret came wrathfully, one after the other. They
did not permit my soul to hear silence. But still, with nowhere to go to and no
one to hold on to, I stayed. A voice said light is on its way. Clouds will
surely come and be my fortress, my guide, my redemption. Hope is the only thing
keeping me sane. The adopted child is now adapting to a new environment.
Chaotic at first, but it did transcend my innermost predictions. No more
pretensions, and less mistakes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I woke up feeling alive. So this is what being alive feels like. I can
get used to the aroma of something new—a sweet scent calling me to rise up out
of bed even if I feel like—no, I felt great. I felt like rising up. It’s always
a brand new day. There’s always a prayer to say. Although tongue-tied I
remained, I know my lips weren’t sealed. I had something to say. I wanted to
say something. It seems like the stars lined up, formed a constellation of luck
for my world to revolve in a way that would let the sun shine right in front of
me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But you went away. Leaving me much more broken than when you first saw
me. I didn’t think that was possible. But my heart was shattered, my jaw
dropped for not only a few moments of disbelief. Why now? When all I do is hold
on to you. Why ever?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I close my eyes to shatter memories. Making myself believe none of these
have ever even happened. A masquerade. An all black setting. One you can only
see when all doors are closed, all knobs are locked, vision’s completely shut
down. What do I do now? I can put my favorite jacket on, as long as I want.
Just to feel numb, or hot, or freezing—just to feel anything at all. I can’t
say I’m still standing. Floating, between the lines I still can’t decipher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My dream, where is it now? Bring it back to me, I beg of you. I want to
end this nightmare.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am not complaining.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just want the next big thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweep me off my feet, at least.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know there’s more than this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Come into your senses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s time to face the restless.</span></div>

It's pretty lame, but I was born a writer y'all. I don't have the sufficient knowledge and strongly founded reading habits yet to back it up, but for me, living is writing. There's no way to abstain my mind from playing with words and appreciating other people's compositions and mine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">11 months and 2 days ago, I began my search for a writing job. I thought to myself, "That's so cool! You get paid for doing what you love and learn so much in the process." There has been many doubts and setbacks for sure. I was the best writer from my batch, I dare say, but coming out to the real world has literally put me to shame. Wow. This is something I must fight for. I can't keep this complacent attitude if I want my voice to be heard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Being jobless for two months, I had a handful of desperate thoughts. What if nobody ever accepts me again? What if writing is not really for me? What if I be a bum and write my own novel(s) instead? What if I cave in to taking a call center assessment to earn more money? What ifs ended my days every two in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Consistency is key, and I don't have that (yet?). I'm known for running away just because I felt like it at the moment. I'm known for giving up really valuable stuff just to find myself regretting in the end. But most of life is written in bold, visible, hurtful ink. The pencil coupled with its eraser is the golden Easter egg every chicken had hoped to hatch. That rare.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I am SO blessed to have some moments of second chances, new opportunities, overwhelming ventures, but those aren't constant. It should be my vow to improve where I lack, being still (that, that was my blog title, "Be Still", contrary to what I recalled earlier that a number appeared in the title).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I've already left three jobs, rejected three offers, been snatched with one, and walked my way out of two interviews. That is not a trait of someone who can set aside boredom for greater, better decisions. I must kick this stubborn attitude out, but I'm not quite there yet. Hopefully, I get there before golden eggs run out. I must.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I realized that my life goals are stupid and underwhelming, but I'll get to that some other time. Big things are coming tomorrow, and I must sleep. Please eyes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">PS My personal diary. Open for the world to see. That's so stupid but I do it anyway. With as much censorship as I can produce.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I closed my eyes. It's midnight and I am
working by choice, yet again. This is exactly the reason I left a place
of friendship and fun. Now, I am forced to be awake again--alone. By
choice. Alone. By Choice. ALONE. I can't stress it enough.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As my vision turned completely black, I saw myself walking by that office I used to see every weekday for five months. I miss it, especially the way it smells--like that of an expired loaf of bread, but tasty just the same. I saw the smile of someone I didn't even know before then. I got close to her, really close. We swapped stories about dreams and simple fulfillment, even those we have yet to achieve and continuously hoping for. We had a downfall and are now casual friends without the emotional connection we used to have. I miss her. She's about to leave that place as well. Maybe because she wants to start sentences with buts again, maybe because she's just sick of robotic work, maybe because she got lost in herself, as did I.<br /><br />I am about to cross a great milestone in my life--the first year anniversary of my college graduation. And where am I? Stuck, by choice, wide awake every 2 o'clock in the morning even if I want to sleep. Yes, I am complaining even if I've brought this to myself. Yes, I am confused, still, as to what my identity as a professional should be. Heck, I don't even know where to go to reach my dreams. I don't even know where to start. I don't even know what to give more priority to. I am lost in my own world, in my own skin, in my own vision.<br /><br />I have things, hopes, ideals, and beliefs to hold on to, even if I am slipping away. It's not over 'til it's over. Even though I really want this to be over. I just want to see my Father presenting me my Garden of Rest. If I had a choice, I'd skip this living hell even with all its grandeur. I want to be where I was designed to be. No competition, no desire, no cross to bear. If I had a choice--but I don't.<br /><br />That doesn't mean I am overcome by grief. It's just there hanging around my whole being, but I can still proudly say I have my core. I won't ever give that up since it's the last thing that'll be left I can call mine. I have a life given by the Perfect Giver, the Ultimate Wisdom, the Unending Joy, the Unwavering Hope. I will treasure it by being thankful and living it the way I want, without caring what others say so. It's mine and mine to love. It's mine and mine to accept. It's mine and mine to embrace. It's mine and mine to live, selfishly if necessary.<br /><br />I need help to know what I want this life to be. It comes naturally, daily. All I have to do is acknowledge It. Take time to hear It. I'll get by. We all do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>FRESH CUTS</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Next To Me</b> <i>Emeli Sandé </i>► What a soulful voice! I was reminded of the first time I heard "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele when I first listened to this song. Deserves much more credit than it is receiving.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>People Like Us</b> <i>Kelly Clarkson </i>► Another smash waiting to happen. This misfits/underdog anthem will explode once Kelly Clarkson premiere it on American Idol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Bucket List</b> <i>Nelly Furtado </i>► After three floptastic singles, Nelly is still eager to promote her newest LP with this refreshing and inspiring track. <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ly4gCvb9RM">Watch the video</a></span> and you'll appreciate it even more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Mirrors </b><i>Justin Timberlake</i><i> </i>►Released on iTunes as a promotional single last month, this is pretty much set to be the second single from "The 20/20 Experience". Far better than "Suit & Tie", it's like Justin came back from where he was before: the Prince of Pop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Just Give Me A Reason </b><i>P!nk featuring Nate Ruess</i><i> </i>► Perfect ballad from two of the most distinct voices of Pop music. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfcTTFuGg6E">Watch</a> this get universal acclaim from critics and audience alike.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Heart Attack</b> <i>Demi Lovato</i><i> </i>► Demi delivers vocals unheard of from her, and it sounds amazing. The poppy production and strong vocal performance will leave you singing along.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Mama's Broken Heart</b><i> Miranda Lambert </i>► No, she's not related to Adam Lambert. Mrs. Blake Shelton remembers some tips from her mother on how to get her act together and be the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yg05svXp98">Stepford wife</a> she's supposed to be. Great storytelling from one of Country's signature female vocalist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Tonight</b> <i>Jessica Sanchez featuring Ne-Yo</i><i> </i>► After the very disappointing performance of her first solo song, "Change Nothing", Jessica will finally premiere her official first single from her debut album "Me, You & The Music" on March 21 on American Idol. I could only hope for the best, and I am positive this tune will help her achieve success.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>I Ne</b><b>ed Your Love</b><i><b> </b>Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris</i><i><i> </i>► </i>Aggressive beats by Mr. Harris and Ellie's signature stimulating electro synth sound clash to create this great production you can't turn down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Rapid Eye Movement</b> <i>David Cook</i><i> </i>► One of the standout tracks from David's sophomore album "This Loud Morning". This greatly represents his passion for music; too bad majority of fans didn't held on long enough to hear what more he had to offer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Don't Hold The Wall</b> <i>Justin Timberlake</i><i> </i>► This track isn't making any heads turn yet, but it is a magnificent record from Mr. JT. My top tune from his latest offering, "The 20/20 Experience".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Home (Live)</b> <i>Phillip Phillips</i><i><i> </i>► </i>I wasn't really into "Home", but when I heard this live version from the deluxe version of "The World From The Side Of The Moon", I was blown away. The audience clearly energized Phillip, making it a more memorable moment than the final recording.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Oh My!</b><i> Haley Reinhart</i><i> </i>► Retro sounding and very refreshing. Haley found her kind of music; one which she loves and does well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Young Girls</b><i> Bruno Mars</i> ► You can just imagine Bruno singing his soul out whenever you play this album opener. Great to get listeners glued to listen and enjoy the whole album.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Stronger</b> <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK31e3jg1lI">Pop Goes Live Version</a></b><i> Kelly Clarkson</i><i><i> </i>► </i>Stripped off the energetic guitar riffs and drum beats, Kelly's vocal prowess shines through this track.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, # 345<br /><br />What doesn't kill us makes us bitter. I used to believe that to be both funny and true. Years later I learned that pain could also be the touchstone for personal growth, which of course points back to the original saying, "what doesn't kill us makes us better." Not funny, but perhaps closer to the truth. Or at least the truth I choose to believe in these days. So, having recently experienced a bit of pain, am I better? Well, let's review: I think I'm fairly immune to name-calling now. I'm not sure I could have made that claim a few months ago. I've also come to see that the things I used to think were big deals, are not. Problems appear to be relative. If you have a big one, it makes all the others seem almost charming in comparison. And finally, when your life takes a path you could never have foreseen, it's humbling. In a good way, it's kind of like a friendly reminder from the universe that while you may think you have the starring role in the movie of your life, you're actually just a bit player trying to grab a quesadilla off the craft services table when no one's looking. So, to sum up: I now have a thicker skin. I'm less likely to sweat the small stuff, and, perhaps most importantly, I have renewed sense of humility. All in all, better. That being said, I still try to stay reasonably bitter in order to maintain my eligibility in the Writers Guild of America.</span></span></blockquote>

I don't know if anyone will care about this post, but this thing has been on my mind all day long. So Clive Davis, a music mogul and record executive most commonly known for discovering the likes of Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, has just released his memoir entitled "The Soundtrack of My Life" and bashes Kelly Clarkson with deceitful lies intended to make himself look good.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Clive resented Kelly's third studio album, My December, to the point of bashing it in front of her face and using his power over other record executives and radio to prevent it from reaching its full potential. It's first single, 'Never Again', blasted up the iTunes chart and US radio, allowing it to debut at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It magically lost radio spins once it reached number 20. The second single, Sober, got an adds date but it also magically lost the few spins it has a week before the said date. With virtually no promotions and no support from her record label, Clive went on to prove his point, as My December only went platinum compared to Breakaway which went on to sell 6 million copies in the US and 12 million worldwide. All these have happened back in 2007, but Clive slammed Kelly on a 16-page chapter entitled "American Idol and Kelly Clarkson" in his just released memoir.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hate Clive because of this. He is a monster and Kelly is not his first victim. He discovered Phyllis Hyman but dropped her because she wanted to have creative input in her records and doesn't want to be Clive's robot (search "Phyllis Hyman Unsung" on YouTube). Clive got lucky when he discovered Whitney Houston who agreed to be the money-making puppet he wanted to have. He practically made her the replacement of Phyllis. We all know what happened to that. The night Whitney Houston was found dead on a hotel room bathtub, Clive was throwing a party just a few floors below the said room. What a classy act that is for someone who milked millions of dollars from Whitney and left her when the fame, money, and fortune finally got the best of her and sucked her soul away. I'm glad Kelly stepped up simply because she firmly knows herself and doesn't want to be told what to do just because of money.</span></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span id="contentCaption">Hey y'all, <br /><br />So
I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false
information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just
have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for
my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you
learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis. <br /><br />First,
he says I burst into "hysterical sobbing" in his office when he
demanded Since You Been Gone be on my album. Not true at all. His
stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the
original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the
bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn't be more proud of the life
of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way. <br /><br />But,
yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I
had written about my life called "Because Of You." I cried because he
hated it and told me verbatim that I was a "sh*tty writer who should be
grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me." He continued on about
how the song didn't rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This
was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a
musical hero and was so honored to work with. <br />But I continued to
fight for the song and the label relented. And it became a worldwide
hit. He didn't include that in the book. <br /><br />He also goes on to say
My December wasn't successful because I co-penned the album and it
didn't have "pop hits". Well, first let me say, I've co-penned many of
my "pop hits." Secondly, My December went platinum (It sold 20,000 less
than All I Ever Wanted which followed My December.) Hardly a huge
failure. Never Again, the ONLY single they released in the US from that
record was a Top 10 hit. I am very proud of that and I have my fans to
thank. But, again, what's most interesting about his story is what he
leaves out: He doesn't mention how he stood up in front of his company
at a convention and belittled me and my music and completely sabotaged
the entire project. It never had a chance to reach it's full potential.
My December was an album I needed to make for myself for many reasons
and the fact that I was so completely disregarded and disrespected was
so disheartening, there really aren't words to explain….<br /><br />Anyway, I
love my job. I love my music. I love my fans. I love my label and all
of my professional relationships… now. And I am grateful for Clive for
teaching me to know the difference. <br /><br />Cheers to another amazing year! And, as always, thanks for listening!<br /><br />KC</span></span> </blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">The music industry is so twisted because the business and money side of it drowns the creative side, which is supposed to be the important part. Music executives are now so afraid to take risks and let their roster of artists do their own thing, create their own music, and believe in their craft because of the continuing power of piracy and declining album sales. This is understandable, but not to the extent of making musicians feel like crap and forcing them to become robots for the sake of selling and making more money. This is the demonic part of the industry, in my opinion. There are still, and many, genuine artists left in the music industry that worked so hard to be who they are and do what they want to do because of passion and not because of money.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am so pleased to be a Kelly Clarkson fan today, as she refused "to be bullied" even by a music mogul and powerful man that is Clive. Breakaway was Kelly's most successful album. It practically transformed her from a disrespected talent show winner to a bonafide worldwide superstar. But that era burned out the dorky and quirky side of Kelly. That level of success was simply not what Kelly wanted for her life. She was just here to make music. So at one tour stop (Irvine, California), she cancelled her usual meet-and-greet session with her fans because she just couldn't take it anymore. The constant pressure to keep on escalating her success got to her. She wanted solitude, so she locked herself at the venue's bathroom and wrote a song then and there (search 'Irvine'). This song eventually landed on My December, the album Kelly fought for to be released.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kelly knew My December wouldn't be as successful as Breakaway. She knew it didn't have bubblegum pop hits Breakaway contained. But it didn't matter. She just needed to release that freakin' record for her sanity. A true testament that money is not her concern at all. She just want to make music because she knows it is the purpose of her life. Now, Kelly is engaged and happier than ever. She has a smooth working relationship with her management and her label. A far cry from the depressing circumstances she had to deal with just to be taken seriously as a writer and artist. Nevertheless, I am so happy that Kelly doesn't have to put up a memoir full of lies (as an Expresser said, better transfer that shit to the fiction section) just to sell books.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for standing up even though the forces are against you, Kel. You handle everything with class and your self awareness and awareness of what is happening around you prevents you from falling into the black hole many famed personalities has succumbed into. Your genuine light in this dark industry will surely inspire musicians all over the world to speak up and feel free to fight for the music they believe in and do things for themselves and not to please other people. You will never need lies and deception because blessings will always be by your side. You won't even need to chase them, they'll chase you.</span></span></div>
