O, ILAW (Aking Bituin)

O, Ilaw (Aking Bituin) - Larry Miranda 

TAGALOG SONG LYRICS

O, ilaw, sa gabing malamig 

Wangis mo'y bituin sa langit. 

O, tanglaw, sa gabing tahimik 

Larawan mo, Neneng, 

nagbigay pasakit. Ay! 

Gising at magbangon 

sa pagkagupiling 

Sa pagkakatulog 

na lubhang mahimbing. 

Buksan ang bintana 

at ako'y dungawin 

Nang mapagtanto mo 

ang tunay kong pagdaing. 

-----

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

O, light, in the cold night

You're like a star in the sky

O, light, in the quiet night

Your picture, Neneng,

makes one hurt. Oh! 

Awake and arise 

from slumber

from your sleep 

so deep.

Open your window 

and look out to me

So that you may understand

my true lament.

Another hiding place

Location: Intramuros, Manila

Date: February 12, 2014   |   Wednesday

After all the stressful school stuff, we had the chance to free our minds. ;)

Around 2:00 pm, we went to Intramuros to experience and explore its exquisiteness. I was honestly excited about it! Good thing, the weather cooperated with us. It was a cloudy, cloudy day.We roamed around and looked for new places to chill at. 

Manila Cathedral

Forever Alone Friends (what we call our barkada) ;)

Forever barkada!!! :)

Our first stop was at Cioccolata. This is where I have seen the longest churros, which tasted like rainbows because of its chocolate flavor plus sprinkles all over! How can someone say no to that?! It was also a cozy place to stay at because of the eye-catching paintings and sweet treats.

These were just... WOW.

Candy Stix Churros

So while walking and talking and laughing with my awesome friends, we were able to discover a stall which sells Japanese cake with scrumptious fillings to choose from. I chose Snickers and it was really a must-try sweet delight!

Very affordable, right?

It's melting!!!

~~~

We had our heavy meal at Kitchen Basic (catered by Josiah’s). It was a nice place because of its fine ambiance and yummy food. Another cool thing about it is its unlimited rice promo. It was really worth it!

You can also watch while eating! How cool is that?

Hmmmm. Don't you just wanna try everything?

My sulit meal: Beef steak + unli rice + gelatin + soup

~~~

After the food trip adventure and everything, we saw Adrian’s best friend who treated us Korean Ice cream! Weyhey to that!

It was actually my first time to try this ice cream waffle and it tasted really good! My taste buds were very much satisfied.

We spent the rest of the day on the walls of Intramuros. It was actually a perfect moment to savor because of the good company and weather, especially the bubblegum-colored sky.

With my kalog friend, Tryphina

My favorite picture of us! It is just too cute! :)

I’am craving for more unforgettable adventures with amazing people like them! Always live life to the fullest! :) XOXO

Hike here, hike there, hike everywhere.

January 28, 2014. People are experiencing this kind of challenge everyday. Other than that, worried about the successive hike in electricity prices, LPG prices, and a series of price increases. Let us oppose the proposed MRT or LRT fare hike.
