Sunday Song and Photographs: She’s Always A Woman

(You are tagged!  You need to finish reading this post!)

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
me2peaceTropic3.jpgCrop
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
jbeeHalterLast
CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
-Mhmm--

Well obviously I can’t get over the song that I included in my post for the 101st International Women's Day (IWD) celebration.  It became my LSS (Last Song Syndrome) for the whole week culminating today by making it as my Sunday post complementing it with the photographs of  the faces of this woman that I see every time I look in the mirror. LOL. 

I just hope that you wouldn’t take the meaning of the song literally or based it on the story behind why and for whom the musician Billy Joel wrote it for.  I like the song primarily because of it’s melody and I love the singer as well.  It definitely has a great lyrics that I consider as metaphorical. And whether we admit it or not, most us women can find a bit of ourselves from this song.  C’mon sisters, don’t deny it.

The other reason is that, my hubby sang it to me one time.  It was one among those ordinary days that we’re together.  It was played in the radio and he sang along and dedicated the  song to me. Sweet!  My hubby by the way possess a good singing voice.  You can throw any kind of song to him and he can sing it in perfect tune.

Well I’m talking a lot about myself now and bear with me if I'll be a bit KSP (kulang sa pansin/looking for attention) this week, anyway I seldom do this on my blogs.  Since I started blogging I have been avoiding not to reveal a lot about my person, but I think it is inevitable not to share a portion of yourself if you are running a personal blog. I just thought that this week is the perfect time to share a bit about myself because… Yey! it’s my birthday week. 

So reading this post is like a tag.  You are obliged to greet me in writing by leaving a message below in my comment box (not in the guest book please).  If  you do not follow my wish, you will suffer from all those consequences threat written in the scary chain letters LOL.  C’mon be kind to this celebrant, leave me a message and greet me on my birthday.  It doesn’t matter what day you came across this post. Any day that you read this is my birthday so greet me and don’t forget to wish me luck ok?

Thanks and cheers to my birthday!  And oh… “Beware, it’s the ides' of March! ;)

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

“this place will break your heart, will make you cry, will make you want to reach out, and will make you feel grateful & thankful, all at the same time…”   They are located at: 1030 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila. Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm. I wrote that caption in this same season last year, my first time to visit a place called “Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children”.  I was with a  group of friends along with our respective families.  I could never be thankful enough to our friend Rupert and his family for leading us to this place.  It was not my first time to do a charity visit to an orphanage and I sort of wonder why we were “brief” that this is for special children.  I only realized what that briefing is about when I see for myself how “special” these children are.  I apologize if this may not sound good to some, but the sight of the sick children is heartbreaking.  I tried to look tough and not to

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” !
