Loving Sissel

Lately ko lang na-discover itong si Sissel, a Norwegian soprano. Galing ng boses! Hay. Kelan kaya ako makakapag-solo ng ganito.. ngehehe. Ang aga-aga ng topak. =)

Heto mga performances nya.. enjoy!

John Lennon's Imagine
heto with Josh Groban naman… version nila ng The Prayer
Auld Lang Syne
Sarah's Song
You'll Never Walk Alone
Somewhere Over The Rainbow

great voice and i definitely agree with the other fans that she looks fab as well. i still love Vienna Teng and Jewel, but Sissel's voice really... overly... sings way much, much heavenly. haha. and i'm saying that with Lola's accent. *winks*

second the motion talaga ako sa phrase na ito. =)

after 3 months of waiting for my duties and responsibilities document from PI and another month of waiting to have it notarized in the philippines, i finally completed having this document notarized a couple of days back. actually, i had the document notarized from an agency here in dubai since my uncle's lawfirm refused to do further notarization as they said that this final document was issued here. so, it's more apt that notarizations be done here. however, when i got back the said document from the Voitin Davis agency, it was notarized by an Australian solicitor. huh??!! heniweys..

i was able to run errands related to this submission amidst my work schedules (pa-eska-eskapo..hehe) and finally, EA received my documents today. now.. it's the dreaded 4 weeks of waiting for the results.

i made banana and chocolate cupcakes for the weekend. hmm.. the verdict??!! my banana cupcakes were very good. taste, texture, shape... perfect and nuff said. =) as for the chocolate cupcakes... hmm, not chocolatey enough and it was not able to retain its shape not unlike the banana-flavored cuppies. still needs improvement pero lamang tiyan na rin! hihihi. next time, i will add more chocos.

  1. On the first day of the Mango sale, the sister of myfriend was looking around and picked up a dress when a woman at the counter started screaming,"Put that down,that's mine!"

Tear-Jerker

this is one of the website links that is a sureball tear-jerker. it's a Manilyn Reynes lullaby entitled, Pasensiya Na. she referred to it last night in Wowowee and i was touched when she sung a few lines. she said that the song's a tribute to all working mothers around the world. kaya ayun, hinanap ko sa youtube and found myself teary-eyed in the middle of the day. hehe. i especially liked the part about a mother's promise before she decided to be a mother, that she will do anything in her power just to make sure that her child will not suffer any hardship. naka-relate ako. in general, ganun ang promises ng mga nanay talaga kaya they all deserve to be loved and respected. anyway, here's link to the musician's website. the youtube video even have lyrics for you to sing along. pero i-post ko na rin yung lyrics dito. atribida eh. hehe.

Pasensiya Na

pasensiya na, di ko kayo naipagluluto
almusal ninyo'y hindi ako'ng naghahanda
sa umaga hindi ako nagpapaligo
at ni minsa'y di nahatid sa inyong eskuwela.

pasensiya na, inyong damit naglalaba'y iba
di ko alam paborito ninyong meryenda
ang homework nyo, hindi ako katulong gumawa
pag may sakit, hindi ako nag-aalaga.

pasensiya na, ako ay palaging wala
pasensiya na, bihira tayong magkita
di nyo alam, lagi akong nag-aalala
ang puso ko ay nariyan, kahit ako'y wala.

hindi ako pinalaki sa karangyaan
naranasan kong kumalam ang aking tiyan
kupas na uniporme aking pinagtiyagaan
butas ang sapatos papuntang eskwelahan.

bago ako nagdesisyong maging isang ina,
pinangako kong hinding-hindi kayo magdurusa
ang buhay nyo ay magiging laging masagana
gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya.

pasensiya na, ako ay palaging wala
pasensiya na, bihira tayong magkita
di nyo alam, lagi akong nag-aalala
ang puso ko ay nariyan, kahit akoy wala.

pasenisya na at tv ang taga-aliw tuwina
ang gatas nyo, hindi ako ang nagtitimpla
darating ang panahon, trabaho'y tapos na
pangako ko mga anak, tayo'y magsasama.

;;
