Current music:Yanni's Aria - Philippine Madrigal Singers

tomorrow, i switch to decaf


This is so fucking wrong. An 11-year-old shouldn't have to worry about things like that.


I know that the little girls deserves a post of her own, but I also think that we need to balance the horror of that news with the beauty that is this song. Iniibig Kita (I Love You) by the Philippine Madrigal singers (although, I'm thinking that it's the San Miguel Master Chorale). Yes, it's in Tagalog and I can provide a translation if you want, but you don't need to understand another language to appreciate good music.

Written by Ryan Cayabyab, and we all know that when it comes to great OPM, Mr. C is the best.

Kulang ang araw at gabi 'pag kita'y kapiling.
Kahit ang bukas ay 'di rin sapat upang mamasdan lamang kita.
Labis kitang minamahal, pag-ibig ko'y walang kapantay.
Kung kaya ko lang abutin ang mga bituin t'yak ito'y gagawin.

Malaman mo lang wala nang ibang mas hihigit pa sa pag-ibig ko sa'yo.
Walang ibang nagmamahal nang tulad ko sana'y paniwalaan mo.
Iniibig kita.

That is the saddest thing I have read to date. What makes it worse is that such a death is more than likely preventable. What a shame.

I know :( It makes me sad and guilty and helpless.

What a tragedy. Things like that should simply not happen.


Regarding the song, when I clicked on the first link, it told me I was deleting the song, and the second one said it's not linked to a journal entry. I'm going to try to find it on limewire though.

Yes, the should not. But sometimes, it happens.


I should really pay more attention to what I post :"> Oh well, it's fixed now :D

God, that story is so awful. It's times like these that make me want to do serious damage to people who think poverty eradication is just a waste of resources.

Isn't it? Everyone's been doing follow-up stories on it and I just can't watch.
