Always - Jon Bon Jovi


There  are internet rumors spread like wildfire Monday that rock star Jon Bon Jovi had died. Bon Jovi is  one of the most famous singers I like.

But thanks God that Jon Bon Jovi disproved rumors of his death at the Hope Concert  V at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

I’m now assured and happy to know that the singer, actor and philanthropist is alive and well.
 

This “Always” is one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs. The song was originally written for the soundtrack to the film Romeo Is Bleeding. "Always" is the single by Bon Jovi from the album Cross Road.
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always
]
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him that those words were mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

My New Addicting Friend - BonChon Chicken!

This holidays , I spend time for our shopping for the Christmas, with my family.  One  Saturday night we were in Trinoma Mall Quezon City. Mall crowded, but that’s really holidays shopping and Christmas gifts and many more things are the main functions of all. Not was done with everything we want to do and wish to have, but feel hungry. That time I want to eat dinner, we walk around and look for something new. All restaurants , fast food  and  coffee shops , all are full!

We saw this new,  Bonchon Chicken. Ambiance is nice for a fast food. There were lots of people dining in and we need to be wait to be seated.

But after few minutes, we had our place. We grab a simple and easy to serve to us, a pack of medium chicken wings 12 pieces and rice. And wow! Chicken are yummy! And we have Ice tea.

The chicken is super crispy and not greasy and delicious.

BonChon  has addicting chicken, crispy, light, with hot juicy meat flavored with your choice of soy garlic or the hot and spicy glaze.

I think It’s the original highly-addicting formula that keeps people coming back for more. They’re affordable. 

I read their menu fliers , "Best Chicken in America," "The original Korean fried chicken secret." 

We'll definitely be back next time to try more offerings. 









Michael Jackson's Daughter, Paris, Visits Ellen Degeneres Show





I've watched a very special and enjoyable TV episode program of  The Ellen Degeneres Show last week!

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson has given her first-ever solo interview in an episode of 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' which aired December 15, 2011.  

Paris chatted with Ellen about many things revealing herself, the best advice her father ever gave her,  her new film project, her attempt at having a "normal" childhood.

Paris explained what it felt like for herself and her siblings, Prince and Blanket, to wear disguises for most of their young lives.

"I'm like, 'this is stupid. why am I wearing a mask?' But I kind of realized the older I got like he only tried to protect us and he'd explain that to us too," she said.

"I do have like a regular childhood," Paris said.  "I mean, I'm treated the same. When I came to my new school, they didn't know who I was. I was like, 'Yes, I have a chance to be normal."

Paris will voice the lead character in the upcoming action-animation hybrid as Lundon, a human in this  fantasy adventure in which "sea magic turns a dolphin into a human, a teenage boy into a dragonfly and a loving jellyfish queen into an evil fairy godmother."  This is "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys," an adaptation of the fantasy series based on writer Dennis Christen's novels.

When Ellen asked her any memorable advice from father gave her.  She said, 

"If I die tomorrow, always remember what I told you.' and I took his advice and I remember everything that he told me."

Simbang Gabi : Filipino Christmas Tradition

"Simbang Gabi" or Mass at Dawn, is a nine-day Novena to prepare for the birth of Christ. Since the Mass is celebrated when it is still dark, Simbang Gabi can also mean Mass at Night.  a Filipino Christmas tradition, it is is a series of nine dawn masses, the mass starts as early as 4:00 a.m. It begins on December 16 and ends on the midnight of the 24th of December, which is the midnight mass.


The Nativity Scene or "Belen" is displayed in preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It shows Baby Jesus in a manger with Mother Mary and St. Joseph. There are shepherds and farm animals. A complete scenario of the Belen includes the three wise men carrying their gifts to Infant Jesus and the star of Bethlehem that guided them in their journey.
The Roman Catholic churches across the nation start to open their doors shortly before the break of dawn to welcome the faithfuls to the Simbang Gabi mass. The church bells start ringing as early as three o' clock waking people up so they can get ready for the four o'clock dawn mass.
Simbang Gabi is not just a tradition that is the most important religious significance for those who attend Simbang Gabi, to be nourished with faith.

It is the perfect time to ponder how this truth influences our thoughts, actions and spiritual lives.

The Simbang Gabi is also seen as a way of requesting blessings from the Lord,as most people believe that if one completes the whole series of nine dawn masses, wishes will be granted.
