Switchfoot will have a concert in Manila on September 10. I have waited years to see them live in concert and now that they'll have one in Manila. But, I'm now based in Singapore. I have already waited 5 years, what's another year or two?

On our way home from the airport this afternoon, I heard one of my favorite songs that I haven't heard in months. The first order of business when I got home was to listen to Train's My Private Nation album.

When I Look To The Sky
Train
My Private Nation

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

While I float upon this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way

Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plain overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

When I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
When I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

I'm back in the Philippines for a one week vacation. Yay! I just arrived a few hours ago and I feel refreshed and energized. It's great to be back.

Kwentong adik muna. Kagabi pauwi galing opisina, nakasakay kami ni Xiuling ng bus. Nang malapit na sa babaan namin, tumayo na ako sa aking upuan dahil maraming taong nakatayo at mahirap bumaba. Biglang may isang lalaking ng box-out sa akin. Akala ko naman, baba rin sya. Hinde pala, gusto lang talaga ata akong harangan. Hinde tuloy ako nakababa sa stop namin at napilitan akong bumaba sa susunod na stop. Eto namang si Xiuling, hinahanap ako, at nang namalayan nyang hinde ako nakababa, tumawa sya ng malakas. Nilakad ko tuloy mula dun sa tinigilan ng bus hanggang sa bus stop namin. Haha. Nakakatawa, ako rin sumakit ang tiyan sa kakatawa. Hehe.
