.the promise.

A blockmate and close friend once told me that "The Promise" by Martin Nievera was his song for his sweet little four-year-old daughter. He would always sing it with much fervor and feeling whenever we would go out to videoke as a block. I've known the song since high school, but I have never had the chance to really listen to and hear the song until this morning.

Say goodbye
When I can barely say goodnight
If I can hardly take my eyes from yours
How far can I go?

Walk away
The thought would never cross my mind
I couldn't turn my back on Spring or Fall
Your smile least of all

When I say always
I mean forever
I trust tomorrow as much as today
I am not afraid to say I love you
And I promise you
I'll never say goodbye

We're dancers
On a crowded floor
While other dancers leave from song to song
Our music goes on
On and on

And if I never leave your arms
I really would have traveled everywhere
For my world is there

When I say always
I mean forever
I trust tomorrow as much today
I am not afraid to say I love you
And I promise you
I'll never say goodbye

At the risk of sounding cheesy...

Dear, when I say always, I mean forever...

Sorry. I just thought that it was incredibly moving for a father to have a special song for his daughter. And the song... it's just the sweetest. I'd like to borrow it sometime if you won't mind Gil. ;)

I don't want to talk about med school na muna. Glory to God, I'm doing fine, everything's all right. To all my friends and family, I look forward to being with you again. Thanks for being there for me through all these years. Konti na lang, graduation na! All glory to God and to Him alone.
