Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade

Fall For You
Secondhand Serenade

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Ohh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Tonight By FM Static

Tonight
FM Static

I remember the times we spent together
On those drives
We had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York
Everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together
Were not enough
And it used to feel like dreamin'
Except we always woke up
Never thought not having you
Here now would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight

I remember the time you told me about when you were eight
And all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late
I remember the time you SAT AND told me about your Jesus
And how not to look back even if no one believes us
When it hurt so bad sometimes
Not having you here...

I say,
"Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight"

I say,
"Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight

Did you know that "XO" mean "Hugs and Kisses"? or "Kisses and Hugs"?

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hope you enjoyed your valentine's day with your loved ones especially with your girlfriends or boyfriends. During this day of a year, many people greet each other through sms, e-mail, and call. Many of us use greetings such as "Happy Valentine's Day", "Happy Heart's Day", "Hugs and Kisses", "XO", etc.

Do you know what XO mean? This has two meanings, either "Hugs and Kisses" or "Kisses and Hugs". X means hugs but kisses for others. While O means kisses but hugs for others.



XO = KISSES AND HUGS:

The Oxford English Dictionary states that X is "used to represent a kiss, esp. in the subscription to a letter. There is no general consensus on the origins of the O as a hug. The O could relate to the shape formed when two hands are crossed in a hug, forming a type of O. The 'X' may also refer to the pursing of the lips when kissing.



XO = HUGS AND KISSES:

There is much debate on whether X's represent hugs or kisses. Some argue that X's represent kisses, but due to the "hugs and kisses" paradigm, some contend that 'X' is in fact lined up with the 'hug' and 'O' with the kiss. Also, arms crossing while hugging indicate an X while puckered lips form an O.

To Rizal by G. Burce Bunao

Many poems have been written about Rizal. Here is one dedicated to him by a young admirer. It is optimistic in the sense that the writer tells of the fight for freedom being carried on by our heroes after Rizal.

Here is the poem:

Not unshaken by the wailing waves
And yet unshattered all through stern and bow,
Here on the shore of Peace for which it craves
The ship has come from shadowed oceans now.

But you, my skipper are not here to see
The port to which you taught us steer the ship;
Some tyrant hands had snatched you from midsea
And hurled your body on Death's finger tip

Until the hero's blood from out your heart
That fed the firm conviction of your mind
Dropped on the surging see like many a dart.

But then we would not turn nor lag behind,
For every drop of blood that stained the path
Engendered hope, and strength, and vengeful wrath.

MACTAN - 1521

We have our choric speech (choral reading) on our subject Philippine Literature next week and our piece is entitled "Mactan - 1521 by Virginia B. Licuanan". See our script below:

SOLO: Mactaaaannnn !!!!

ALL: 1521 !!!

ALL: A messenger from the Spaniards came

That day fifteen twenty – one;

He came in Magellan’s name

To the island of Mactan.

GROUP M: To Lapulapu who was the chief

That on Mactan did reign

He said,

Messenger: “I ask in our leader’s name

A tribute for the king of Spain.”

Lapu-lapu: “A tribute for a foreign king?”

GROUP L: He heard proud Lapulapu say.

Lapu-lapu: “Tell your leader that not a thing

Will the chief of this island pay.”

GROUP L: “We and our fathers and their fathers before

Have on this island lived:

We owe no tribute to any king,

And no tribute shall we give.”

Messenger: “If you do not give what we ask,”

GROUP M: Was the messenger ‘s reply,

Messenger: “The Spaniards will come with guns and swords

And you and your men shall die.”

Lapu-lapu: “If they have guns,”

GROUP L: Lapulapu said’

“So have we our weapons too;

If the Spaniards to our island come,

They shall see what bamboo spears can do.

GROUP L: “The Spanish swords are made of steel

And their armor strong and bright.

Against all weapons we shall win

While we are in the right.”

GROUP L: Lapulapu’s eyes flashed as he repeated,

And his voice did proudly ring:

Lapu-lapu: “We are freemen and will pay

No tribute to a foreign king.”

GROUP M: When Magellan heard Lapulapu’s words

He said with all disdain,

Magellan: “How dare this little chief affront

His Majesty of Spain?

GROUP M: “Our guns and swords this man’s

False pride will break

If he will not tribute give,

Then tribute we will take.

Magellan: “We’ll show this chief that our word

We can follow with our deed.

Prepare there three ships and sixty men,

And I myself will lead.”

ALL: For the island of Mactan

The Spaniards did set sail,

Their guns and swords in brightly display

To make the enemy quail.

ALL: Their ships and armor were a glittering show

Of military might;

Never had the peaceful Mactan waters,

Mirror such a warlike sight.

ALL: And when they anchored dropped

Off the palm-fringed Mactan shore,

Magellan: “I’ll teach this chief a lesson,”

The Spanish leader swore.

ALL: He led his soldiers to the beach

In full battle array.

Magellan: “My men, for our king,

GROUP M: “Magellan said,

Magellan: “Let us make this a proud day.”

GROUP M: “We have or guns and armor;

Our enemy has none.

Our swords against those bamboo spears –

The fight’s as good as won.”

GROUP L: But Lapulapu stood proudly

As the Spanish troops drew near.

Lapu-lapu: “No shining Spanish armor

Will save them from my spear.”

Lapu-lapu: “Aim true!”

GROUP L: he told his men,

Lapu-lapu: “When your spears you fling,

Remember that freemen do not bow

To any foreign king.”

GROUP L: Steel sword against bamboo spear –

It seemed an uneven fight,

And the Spanish armor

Increased each Spaniard’s might.

GROUP L: But Lapulapu and his brave men

Into the battle led.

And soon the blue-green Mactan waters

With Spanish blood grew red.

Magellan: “Fight on my men.”

GROUP M: Magellan cried,

Magellan: “For His Gracious Majesty….”

Lapu-lapu: “Fight on, men of Mactan,

GROUP L: Lapulapu said,

Lapu-lapu: “Fight for our liberty.”

ALL: The cause of liberty lent more strenght

Than Spanish steel and lead;

And soon Magellan lay dying,

And his soldiers all had fled

ALL: And Mactan is an islands

That lives in history,

Where one brave man died for a king

And where another lived for liberty.
