Opportunity

Everyone is always in a look out for opportunity. It could be a job, business or change of career path or anything that catches one's fancy. The goal for the opportunity is for one's success or advancement.

Often, the opportunity is within our reach, but ironically most people don't see it or simply just ignore it.

Not seeing the opportunity could be attributed to goals not exactly set. Put it simply, the person is still in doubt. He/she can only recognize it when goals or priorities for success becomes clearer. When it's recognized, sometimes it's a little too late.

Ignoring opportunity could have various reasons. The person maybe too comfortable of his current state, or could be reluctant to grab the opportunity for some reasons. Reluctance can be summarized in one word, fear! Whatever it is, it's the hurdle the person needs to overcome to grab a very good opportunity.

When we were kids, I remembered that when opportunist word is used, it's analogous to being a bad person. We're supposed to be fair and square to everyone.

In real world, I guess businessmen are opportunists!

Whenever and wherever there's a crisis, business-minded people take advantage of the situation. Their goal is to make money out of the situation. Unfortunately it becomes a norm and everyone just accept it.

Why won't we call these people opportunists instead of businessmen? Just thinking...

Pacman Fever

The first time I heard people talking about Pacman, I thought they're referring to the arcade game that gobble up everything on its way... sort of.

Wrong!

Pacman is a boxer that people talk about. He's so good that he knocked out his every opponent. I don't really follow things about him, but seems like everyone is talking about him.

Last Sunday, he had a fight in Las Vegas, and Philippines was reported to stand still with zero crime rate. Everyone was glued to their tv sets or some venues that people can watch him fight.

I was caught with the fever!!!

Not to be outdone, I checked the internet if I can watch the fight online. There's no pay-per-view channel in the country I'm in, at least none that I know of, so I resorted to internet.

Pacland is a known site dedicated to the boxer, and I checked it out. Once in a while it's inaccessible due to heavy traffic, and even redirected the traffic to a temporary server just to keep up and running.

Some people posted their YM addresses to let others watch the fight through webcam. hmmm... Sounds everyone was so desperate to watched the fight.

Some radio stations can't even account the fight blow-by-blow due to broadcast licensing.

Sopcast was to the rescue! I managed to watched the live fight through it. There were two channels broadcasting online, and streaming was very good.

The fight was good, however, the anticipation of so much "fireworks" was so high that the action so far didn't meet what was expected.

Satisfaction of watching the fight live is better, rather than depend on the news and some commentaries.

Into the Fire (13 Senses)

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn and meet the power
This time, This time
Turning white and senses dire
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
And it’s waiting on the end

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn and meet the power
This time, This time
Turning white and sense dire
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
And it’s waiting on the end

and now I’m alone I’m looking out
I’m looking in, way down
The lights are dim
and now I’m alone I’m looking out
I’m looking in, way down
The lights are dim

Ooooh

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Come on, come on

Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
SO if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So, tell me when you gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
SO if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, so why don't we go,

Hmmm yeahh,

This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know.

Looking Through Your Eyes (Leann Rimes)

Look at the sky
Tell me what do you see
Just close your eyes
And describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling
With starlight tonight
That's what I see
Through your eyes

I see the heavens
Each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeat
Just go on for miles
And suddenly I know
My life is worth while
That's what I see
Through your eyes

Chorus:
Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

I look at myself
And instead I see us
Whoever I am now
It feels like enough
And I see a girl
Who is learning to trust
That's who I see through your eyes

(Chorus)

And there are some things we don't know
Sometimes a heart just needs to go
And there is so much that I'll remember
Underneath the open sky with you forever

(chrous)

i see a night i wish could last forever
i see a world we're meant to see together
and it is so much more than i remember
more than i remember
more than i have ever known

(chorus)

looking through your eyes

I Will Remember You (Sarah McClachlan)

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin’ in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I’m so tired but I can’t sleep
Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep
It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I’m so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

Never Had A Dream Come True (S Lub 7)

Everybody’s got something, they had to leave behind,
One regret from yesterday, that just seems to grow with time,
There’s no use looking back, or wondering, (or wondering),
How it could be now, or might have been, (or might have been),
All this I know, but still I can’t find ways to let you go,

I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I’ve moved on
You’ll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say
You’re the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you.

Somewhere in my memory I’ve lost all sense of time,
And tomorrow can never be cause yesterday is all that fills my mind,
There’s no use looking back, or wondering (or wondering),
How it should be now, or might have been (or might have been),
Oh this I know but still I can’t find ways to let you go,

I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I’ve moved on
You’ll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say
You’re the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be

You’ll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will oh baby,
You’ll always be the one I know I’ll never forget,
There’s no use looking back or wondering, (or wondering),
Because love is a strange and funny thing, (and funny thing),
No matter how I try and try I just can’t say goodbye, no no no no.

I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I’ve moved on
You’ll always be my baby,
I never found the words to say, (never found the words to say),
You’re the one I think about each day, (you’re the one I think about each day),
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be...
A part of me will always be with you, oooohhh.

Life in Disguise (The Slip)

Well the world is only a stage
And I'm just a man
With a sound caught in his throat
And a pick in his hand
But when the song comes tumbling out you understand
There's no great demand

Well it's there under your breath, behind your eyes
And you don't have to say nothing cause I realize
That everything somehow in someway eventually dies
It's life in disguise

It's your room and your board and your fireside
It's a shell that's been washed by a million tides
And if you're there you can see just how bright it shines

When there's nobody left in your heart, left in your head
When the whole world has packed up in shadows and left you for dead
When you can't fake a smile and you just can't get out of your bed
When the people you led turn to you looking so hungry and bare
And you were the one that had brought them there
And all you can do is just stare at your hands and whisper my name

Elenore Cecil Robert and Molly
Coco Rudy Maxwell wherever you are
Elenore Cecil Robert and Molly
Coco Rudy Maxwell wherever you are

That Thing You Do (The Wonders)

You, doing that thing you do
Breakin' my heart into a million pieces
Like you always do
And you, don't mean to be cruel
You never even knew, about the heartache
I've been going through
And I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do
Everytime you do that thing you do

And I, know all the games you play
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that,
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we, could be happy can't you see
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me

Cause I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do
Everytime you do that thing you do

I don't ask a lot (I don't ask a lot)
But I know one thing for sure (Know one thing for sure)
It's the love that I haven't got girl
And I just can't take it anymore
(Woah!!)

Cause we, could be happy can't you see
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me

Cause it hurts me so just to see you go
Around with someone new
And if I know you you're doing that thing
Everyday just doing that thing
I can't take you doing that thing you do

Another Frustrating Day

When I woke up today, I felt very refreshed maybe because it's a beautiful sunny day. I was hoping that it will continue the rest of the day.

I received an email from the person which I expected to clear everything that caused some frustration. Unfortunately, some concerned persons still not persuaded.

My day is ruined!

They thought they were the experts, but then again when you asked what exactly in their mind, and how they're going to go about it, there are no definite answers. All i can hear was that's what i think!!!

Not good enough! If people think they can do and think better, they might as well be able to articulate and explain. Otherwise, they're just trying to get some ideas from other people that may come out during the discussion and argument.

The most frustrating part was people don't get it!!! Or well, they just play dumb!!!

When it comes to money people are very quick to jump into the wagon, but doing the dirty job people will just walk away! There's no easy way to get that big chunk of money if you don't do the dirty job!!!

Beautiful Monday Morning

Waking up a little bit late today, and looking out at the window I feel refreshed. It's a bright and beautiful Monday morning!

I feel like going back to sleep, but I guess need to get up and work.

hmmm... I got this Monday blues again. :( The beautiful sunlight just offset this negative feeling...

A Lazy Saturday

It's really a lazy Saturday that I literally slept the whole morning. Just after past 1PM, my sleep was interrupted by a client's call, unfortunately he's calling and asking the wrong person. I don't know if I want to get angry at or thankful to him, but basically I felt irritated by the disturbance.

Since I can't sleep back, I just took a very hot shower and grab some food.

I don't want to do anything today even going out or doing laundry, so I need to keep my self busy.

After booting up the computer and thinking what to do, I choose some music to play from the library and think of compiling the selection just for fun. After compilation, I played it and surprisingly it seems it goes with my mood. hmmm...

I uploaded one of the pictures to my Picasa album, and just noticed that Google has new feature which is mapping the picture locations. I tried it, and found out that it's interesting to map those pictures. Mapping is very smooth and easy to use. Also, it's easy to look at the mapped places through satellite images or through Google earth.... You can see my sample album, and click view album map...

Seems like I want to snap more pictures this time... hahaha...
