it isn't you, isn't it?

i'm looking for a friend not a lover
somebody who can be there when i need someone to talk to
i'm looking for someone who won't pretend
somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you

and i'm looking for someone who understands how i feel,
someone who can keep me real and who knows the way
the way i like to have my way
and i'm looking for someone who takes me there,
wants to share, shows he cares
i'm thinking you're the one that i've been waiting for

is it you? is it you?
maybe you're the one i've been waiting for
could you be the one for me?
could you be the one i need?

is it you? is it you?
maybe you're the one i've been waiting for
could you be the one for me?
could you be the one i need?

i'm looking for someone to share my pain
someone who i can run to, who will stay with me when it rains
someone who i can cry with through the night
someone who i can trust who's heart is right
and i'm looking for someone

and i'm looking for someone who understands how i feel,
someone who can keep me real and who knows the way

the way i like to have my way
and i'm looking for someone who takes me there,
wants to share, shows he cares
i'm thinking you're the one that i've been waiting for

is it you? is it you?
maybe you're the one i've been waiting for
could you be the one for me?
could you be the one i need?

is it you? is it you?
maybe you're the one i've been waiting for
could you be the one for me?
could you be this one i need?

someone who won't take for granted
how much i care and appreciates that i'm there
someone who listens
and someone i can call who isn't afraid of love to share

is it you? is it you?
maybe you're the one i've been waiting for
could you be the one for me?
could you be the one i need?

is it you? is it you?
maybe you're the one i've been waiting for
could you be the one for me?
could you be the one i need?

All's Well That Ends Well

2007 has been like a sinusoidal wave for me. It has its positive peaks and negative peaks. However, I don't regret any single thing that happened to me because I know for a fact that even if I failed in some situations, I have learned my lessons and I'm willing to change for the better, if not the best. Going back, my 2007 didn't started out fine. I was drunk when I welcomed the year and it seemed like a bad sign. Bad fengshui, bad luck, and bad start. But then, I managed to regain my self back. I celebrated my 18th birthday on March. I am happy at some point, and at the other end, somehow I'm sad because I remembered my friend's debut wherein I was one of the emcees. I love those memories and I miss them so damn much. I don't know what happened to me after that, because as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Problems came rushing in, piling one over another. I may not overcome all those things if it haven't been because of my friends and family who supported me when almost every cell of my body tells me to give up. They may don't know much of what I feel but their presence and care gave me strength and courage to stand up and pick every shattered piece of me. Special mention to kadyot: my ever-dearest sis ninya, you gave moral and spiritual help. You don't fail to remind me to keep holding on to His hand, because when everyone gives up on you, He will be the one who'll carry you until you can manage to walk again. To jah, thanks for being always there. I know I can run to you whenever I need you and I'm happy for that. Arianne, your hugs means a lot to me. It gives me encouragement when my tears keep on falling. Deb, your silence expresses much of your sympathy. The mere sight of your deep eyes is all I need to see and I understand everything just because you listens. Chie, thanks for the strength that you gave me. You taught me to be strong and gives me a full sight of the situation; I know that if I'll ask you, you'll give the unbiased answer. Not the solution that I may want to hear, but the solution that I can choose from, good and bad, and when to hope and stop hoping. You're an eye opener to the things that I need to see, and I really thank you for that. Guys, thank you, thank you, thank you. Need I say more? You know how to distinguish a fake and real smile, a forced laughter and a feel-good one. You taught me what real friendship means.

The past year was not all about those bad old days. Much of my memorable gimmicks happened during those times. Class outing in a resort situated in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the forest, in the middle of farms, in the middle of...Bulacan. Movie unwindings, so much to mention. Honestly, I can't remember all the movies that I've watched with my friends. Bagaberde and Formula Bars, and many other bars that we've been before we reached that Formula, you know it suits us well. Overnights in ninya's house, which seems like my most visited friend's house. You nkow the type when I don't have anything to wear for the next morning but still we manages to go to Taytay just to fetch ninya home. And I love it when I'm there, coz it feels like home. I still get a good smirk on my face when I remember what Glenn, Charles, Jericho, and the rest says when I bring a backpack at school. "May lakwatsa at overnight na naman kayo ah! Di talaga kayo nauubusan ng lakad!" I think this should be our answer to that.. "Kailangan pa bang imemorize yan? Bisyo na 'to!!!"

Simple meriendas and lunches at McDo, Jabee, Chubby Kitchen, KFC, Frio Mixx, 1&2, McDo, Jabee, Chubby Kitchen, McDo, Jabee, McDo, McDo, McDo, .... SO much good memories.. Like what sis said, "lam niyo ba kung ano yung best gift na natanggap ko this christmas? Answer: good memories kasama kayo.. yikeeeeeeee..." Really touching, you almost made me cry...

As they say, you should start the year right. And I intend to follow, so I'll do what my teacher in elementary instructed us back then: to make an essay about your new year's resolution. However, this will be a little modified coz I hate formal writing.I'll just enumerate and elaborate.

Jenny's New Year Resolution for 2008

I'll give my best effort...

1. ... in keeping my room clean and tidy. My mom usually says "may pagka-burara ka kasi e".

2. ... in assisting my brothers for schoolworks. this is one heavy responsibility if you're the ledest and you have two crazy siblings.

3. ... in being physically fit and healthy. I'm beginning to have belly rings. And I still want to wear my swimsuits for summer break decently!!

4. ... in doing debt assessments. Okay, this may sound complicated but what I really mean is to always do my "listahan ng pautang" for our store every friday night. We have a little business and most of the AVT drivers and helpers eat and take credits in our store, stuffs like softdrinks, junkfoods, canned goods, etc... And friday is always my dreadest day of the week because I should manage to do those lengthy task. 2hrs minimum (no TV break, no tambay break, no chichirya break, candy break, ice cream, chocolate.... breaks), 5 hrs maximum (watch telenovelas, up to Bubble Gang, text break, water break, CR break, tinda break, heartbreak, oooops, sorry, never mind the last one! Ü)

5. ... in completing my lecture notes. I hate photocopying notes of my classmates. It makes studying hundred times a burden, laziness kills.

6. ... in focusing and meeting all the requirements and passing all subjects. No more: I think I shall never see, a grade as lovely as a three... Or even: I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough... (just seek the help and intervention of St. Jude, the patron of the impossible... haha!)

7. ... in being a good friend. You know, you're not human if you don't have any friends. But you're not human either if at any point you don't get to be irritated by other bitches. I'll try to be nice as much as I can. Patience is really my virtue, and you'll be tired of testing me, but if you get to the maximum output patience that I can give, haaaaay, you'll really really wish that you'd never knew me at all. Swear.

8. ... in being a responsible and loving daughter. Sometimes, I could be a big pain in the ass and a pounding headache even though at times, I really don't mean to be one. Ma, Tatay, I'm sorry... I always try to make it up to you.

I have a good fengshui this year and 8 is my lucky number because it symbolizes continuity and non-breakage. I'll prove it to be true. *wink!*
