melodies of autumn

My sister and their school's chorale joined the Korus Klef competition, organized by the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus. This song was their obligatory piece and was written by one of the tenors of the UPCC. I feel in love with the song because of it's beautiful lyrics and upbeat tune. Here's the lyrics of the song, Dito Sa Koro. Dito Sa Koro Music and Lyrics by Manny Aquino Choral Arrangement by Ronald Dolor Nagsimulang mag-aleluya sa gilid ng simbahan Sumapi dun sa high school choir gamit namin ay lumang gitara Mula nung bata pa, alam ko na, hilig ko kumanta nang kumanta Pagdating sa colegio sumali sa malaking koro Kahit puyat sa pag-aral dunadaan ko na lang sa dasal Di ko mapipigil, di ko matatanggihan ang tawag ng masayang kantahan Chorus: Dito sa koro, dito ang barkada Dito sa koro, and tunay na pagkakaibigan Dito sa koro, dito ko natuklasan ang pag-ibig sa musika Dito sa koro, dito ang sayawan Dito sa koro, dito ang kanchawan Dito sa koro, dito ko...

Stolen from Kelly's Multiply and Kelly's LJ: Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological tests. The funny thing is that it works. 1. Picture yourself near a stream in the mountains. 2. Birds are softly chirping in the cool mountain air. 3. No one knows your secret place. 4. You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called the world. 5. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. 6. The water is crystal clear. 7. You can easily make out the face of the person you are holding under the water. See. You're smiling already. -Daal-

Stolen from Tateen's Multiply : We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there. We don't care if a guy calls OR TEXTS you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till the morning. Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/ cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.Don't tell us we're wrong. We'll stop trying to convince you. The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me. Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take Advantage of the mood I'm in. Let us pay for you! Don't "feel bad". We enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and...

I found Wordle through Eina's blog. Thought it was really cute so I decided to try it. Here is the Wordle that was generated for this blog. :} Anyway, that's really all for today. I'd like to create a proper blog entry for what it is I really want to blog about. Until next time! :} -Daal-

"This, he realized, was love. It was that sense of rightness, yes. And it was the passion, too, and the lovely knowledge that he could happily wake up next to her for the rest of his life. But is was more than all that. It was this feeling, this knowledge, this certainty that he would give his life for her. There was no question. No hesitation." - On the Way to the Wedding by Julia Quinn Taken from the eigth book in the Bridgerton Series by one of my favorite authors, On the Way to the Wedding centers on the love story of Gregory Brigerton and Lucinda Abernathy. Gregory and Lucinda's love story is, I think, one of the typical Filipino love stories I've watched on TV where the male lead falls in love with the bridge between him and his supposed love. Gregory at first falls for the stunning Hermione and befriends Lucy who is Hermione's closest friend. Through a series of events, Gregory realizes that he only fancied himself in love with the idea of Hermione and no...

I'm terza rima , and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You? From Wikipedia : Terza rima is a three-line stanza using chain rhyme in the pattern a-b-a, b-c-b, c-d-c, d-e-d. There is no limit to the number of lines, but poems or sections of poems written in terza rima end with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet. The two possible endings for the example above are d-e-d, e or d-e-d, e-e. There is no set rhythm for terza rima, but in English, iambic pentameters are generally preferred. This would be the first time I've heard of the Terza Rima . I've read Dante Alighieri's Inferno (and I wan...
