LSS OF THE DAY: "SEASONS OF LOVE"

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]
Also performed by the American Idols on Idol Gives Back

Yeah yeah yeah, I know; of all the songs to get stuck in my head from that show, it just had to be that one. Well, what can I say? RENT has become a permanent part of my life now.








One of my classmates texted me this morning to tell me that she was in Dagupan; but I was still asleep when she first texted. I replied as soon as I woke up but when she asked me to go the mall where they were, I told her that I just woke up and it might take me awhile to get ready. So, I didn't see her. Aw, too bad.








Just watched IDOL GIVES BACK, and I absolutely loved it! I was near tears when they showed the clips of the kids in Africa; I remember that I used almost the same statistics as them, about the "every thirty seconds a child dies" in my extemporaneous speech last semester. It's amazing how many people are suffering and dying as the minutes tick by. I shudder at the thought of so many innocent victims going through that pain everyday until they die. It breaks my heart to see families torn apart because of diseases and that their children are left to fend for themselves.









They featured four brothers, whose parents, grandparents and other relatives died because of AIDS, and the eldest brother's the one who supports his siblings. I admired his dignity and sense of responsibility. Can you imagine yourself in that position?








It just goes to show that we are all lucky to be privileged enough to enjoy some, if not all, the luxuries in life. Sometimes we take our lives for granted and we fail to thank the good Lord for giving us the chance to wake up to a new day.









So many memorable performances. The Top 8 even sang "Seasons of Love"! How cool is that? I suggest you go to YouTube and search all the videos. Robin Williams was so funny!









I so love the person who uploaded "Innocent" by David Cook when he sang it last Wednesday night. I wanted to download the studio version but it still wasn't available so I searched it on IMEEM. I am so loving David Cook right now. If you guys wanna hear it (he's really good here), click here --> DAVID COOK - INNOCENT









Albert replied to what I sent him through Multiply. He said that he respects my decision, but he admitted that he was hoping that I would reconsider my decision. It broke my heart to say that my decision was final and that I wouldn't change my mind for anything, because I know that he'll be depressed afterwards. He's still my friend and I don't want him to suffer because of me. But, as my friends said, "He's a man. He'll be okay".










I'm exhausted, which is surprising.
