FIREWORKS DISPLAY

Light and Shade

by : Fra Lippo Lippi

He will paint the light and shades
The colours and the trees
He will climb the steepest hill
Believing what he sees
He will lay down on the ground
Beneath the old oak tree
He will sleep forever
If you try to set him free

Chorus:

Sail on the wings of a cloud
Where to, well nobody knows
And cry, cry if you want them to see
Die every day to be free
Be proud to wear the colours that you call your own
Be loud, speak out when you want the world to know
Be strong, hold the flame for everyone to see
Be real, if you want to love.

He will paint the endless sea.
A mystery to me
He will reach out for the sun,
Not dreaming what he sees
He will fall down on his knees
Angel touching ground
Takes him to the other side
Sweet love is coming down.

(Repeat chorus)

Aud Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days for auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my dear for auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup of kindess yet for auld lang syne

*there are other longer lyrics here...

Give Love On Christmas Day

by : Jackson 5



People making lists, buying special gifts,
Taking time to be kind to one and all.
It's that time of year when good friends are near,
And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
him love on Christmas Day,
No greater gift is there than love.

People you don't know smile and nod hello,
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy.
It's that once of year when the world's sincere,
And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know there's someone who cares.
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love.

What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love.

What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love.

From light to lights.

This is the formed "BELEN" designed from the Christmas lights displayed at the rooftop of one resident in a subdivision...

... and this is the distorted and warped image of the displayed lights using the Photoshop CS3.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
and a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

KATE

by : Zac Hanson

She plays Wipeout on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather round to sing the guitar
Oh I...Have you got nothing to say?

When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh I...Have you got nothing to say?

And you can see the daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate
Kate...Kate...Kate

Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want
She's everything I'm not
Oh I...Have you got nothing to say?

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks
And she breathes
I wanna be Kate

Down by Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad-Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna meet her so I can say...hey Kate

ooh la la la
ooh la la la
ooh la la la la

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
You can see
I wanna wanna wanna be Kate
Kate...Kate...Kate
Na Na Kate
Kate...Kate...Kate
Na Na Na Na Na Na

One tradional spirit of Christmas, of the Holiday Season that has been spread all over...Christmas, oh Christmas, Christmas time again :)

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh






Jingle Bells by Ada Isabel

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh, hey...

Money's worth

Philippine Peso Bill



A Cake ? How much?



Or just some slices of bread? Can i afford it?



How about some roses?



Or a musical instrument? I guess it's too expensive.



A CD perhaps?



Or some Christmas Lights? I wish.



I guess i'd rather have something to eat to make me full even just a piece, and something to drink to take my thirst away :)



at least....



MERRY CHRISTMAS still!!! Enjoy!

SMILE :)

One BIG Smile :)
from a CD edge and center,... cut and texturized hair...

Ada and her papa "Lulan" (as she pronounced it...)

"SMILE"

Christmas Lights

Countdown begins...

This is one Filipino Christmas celebration...when the 3 last letters of BER starts (SeptemBER)... Christmas already starts in the Philippines that is as early as the month of September you would already hear some Christmas songs in Radios and Christmas decorations in Television shows...a long, long Christmas celebration.

Christmas lights is everywhere, and in this video are some Christmas lights in a "BELEN" form decorated at the rooftop of one of the residents in a subdivision in Davao.

MALIGAYANG PASKO!!!

Georgia

by : Hanson
from the album : The Walk



Georgia, you know that you've been on my mind
Georgia, we've both learned to compromise
I'll Be there for you
When everybody's coming unglued
Ill be there for you
I wont say you have to choose

I don't want to let you go
And I don't want to lose you slowly
I just want to let you know
That it's only just a little back and forth lately

Georgia, i'll be chasing you the rest of my life
Georgia, welcome to the roller coaster ride
When I come to you
I know that you'll help me get through
I'll be there for you
We both know we could never choose

I don't want to let you go
And I don't want to lose you slowly
I just want to let you know
That it's only just a little back and forth lately
It's only just a little back and forth lately

You carry it like a heavyweight champ
It's hard to say i can't but i know i can't be right
There standing

I don't want to let you go
And i don't want to lose you slowly
I just want to let you know
That it's only just a little back and forth lately

I could never let you go
After all that you've been to me
I just want to let you know
That it's just a little back and forth
It's only just a little back and forth lately

A little back and forth lately
A little back and forth

How cute is cute?

Eating pandesal, one of Ada's favorite.

After eating, it's time for her to drink her favorite strawberry juice.

Ok, what's the problem now Ada?
Seems to be that she is not in a good mood.

Oooppsssss....another Ada's favorite, iceCREAM!!!

And ADA it is :)

Starry, starry Star

"A STAR"

The shadow of a star-shaped bottom of a specialized ballpen with a flashlight on.

Christmas Alphabet

by : Ada Isabel, 2 yrs. old.

C is for the candy trimmed around the christmas tree,
H is for the happiness with all the family,
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane,
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane,
S is for the stocking on the chimney wall,
T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall,
M is for the misletoe where everyone is kissed,
A is for the angels who make up the christmas list,
S is for the santa who makes every kid his pet,
Be good and hell bring you everything in your christmas alphabet!

Capital c is for the candy trimmed around the christmas tree,
H is for the happiness with all the family,
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane,
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane,
S is for the stocking on the chimney wall,
T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall,
M is for the misletoe where everyone is kissed,
A is for the angels who make up the christmas list,
S is for the santa who makes every kid his pet,
Be good and hell bring you everything in your christmas alphabet!

Moon River

OST : Breakfast at Tiffany's

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
