I decided to consider moving on another company. I feel like two step backward with the change. The timing is not right based on my carrer plan and life plan. I've waited and finally end my career with my second company by end of the first quarted this 2011.
It never comes to my mind that it will happen this year. Everything comes so fast. But honestly my gut says I want to get out. So I am out now and looking for a better future.
I am blessed, annointed to do more good things this year. That I would claim, I believe and have faith that God will bless me this year.
I suddenly remembered attending Wedding of my good friend last February. We had some dinner before that. I also start dating, going out with a close friend this 1st quarter. I went out with a friend in Manila Ocean park.
I spent more time with my parents during my vacation. I rested as much as I can in my bed. I watched concernt of Bruno Mars at the Big Dome. The past weeks I spent a lot of time with my family and relatives.

The past 2010
I am posting this like I am writing on my own diary. Actually, it is not like a diary because it looks to me this is like a recollection what just happened to me last year. As of this writing, were on the second quarter of 2011 and hope I could still remember the significant events that happened to me last year.
I have this redbook as we called it wherein I usually write my career accomplishment I note in this PDP(Personal Development Plan) of mine.
January: New year and I am not that motivated to do anything unusual (as if). I work most of the time and enjoying my day shift work. I am not really enjoying cause I feel like I am stress with my boss and on my workload. Not only with my workload but also to my boss high expectations on me. The month ends at least by attending videoke time with my friends.
February: Other than the usual TOI, my month is very busy. I attended a community outreach in Kabisig Elemtary school. This school became the temporary shed of the people affected by typhoon Ondoy. I also conducted training for our HP Indonesian partners. I did attend some product training as well.
March: I attended external training conducted in MisNet Makati for 5 days. I attened another internal training and passed its examination. I attended mini reunion with my college mates at Mall of Asia in Pasay. I enjoyed this month because in 5 days Ive been in different places. I attended team building activity in Cavite. Actually the activity is inspired by Amazing race. After that I joined my friends in exploring Baguio City where in the first time I lost my wallet.
April: I have to apply for my lost IDs. From national id's to my atm and other ID's. I also attended another internal product training and successfully passed its examination. I attended Company outing and once more joined as a committee. I conducted a webinar presentation and also attended a Crisis and Escalation Management training. This month I received third time EOQ award.
May: A gold account has been transitioned to me. I also passed external certification exam. I went to Pampanga to attend fiesta with my officemate. I have a few training I conducted and joined for Gawad Kalinga in Laguna. My forth time joining Gawad Kalinga I would say my greatest experience so far for GK.
June: I attended swimming party in Marikina. Attended 1st kiddie party of my pamagkin in Mc Donalds. I also had a successful interview for US Visa application. I start transitioning my accounts to join another team this July.
July: I start working with my new team. More on getting to know the team, processes. My company also moved on another site somewhere in Ortigas.
August: I flewed to US California. Stayed there for about 3 weeks. I attended TechU event and two weeks of transition. I went to many places, stores and places. I've been on many stores (shopping to the max) in California and Vegas. I met my two aunties in Vegas and in California. We went hotels, downtown, The Street in Las Vegas. I experienced for the first time to play the slotmachine. I swim in a cold beach in Huntinton beach. Went to disneyland and had a headache in Six Flags. Everyday is like gluttany. I forgot to mention, I met a weird guy in the plane goint to LAX.
September: I accepted another EOQ award. I then joined my friends and flewed domestic going to Bohol. We explore Bohol and had a quick island hop in Cebu.
October: I start reviewing and passed an external certification.
November-December: Nothing good happens. I could not remember anything interested. The usual spending time in the cementery. Stayed home during Christmas and New year. By the end of the year reveals some changes for my career. See my next post for details.

Time to Change my Password
I try to read News in Yahoo to become updated what is happening around me. It just come to me this article about Password. Yes, most of the people in this century have at least one personal password. From their personal bank account, personal computer login to business password, email or messenger account and even the personal cellphone we have.
So if your password is as simple as 123456 or abcde to your name, birthdate or as simple as iloveyou to password then be creative in making your password. My suggesstion is for you to use the nonalphanumeric characters like @, #, $, _,* and other characters yu can find in your keyboard. The bad thing in using this characters is that you tend to forgot your password. So the key is be creative, save it to a file wherein you personally will not let anyone will get interested to look at.
Thanks for the article below who then remind me to guard my personal accounts. =)

Zero-day: Number 1 search Engine Attack via Internet Explorer
Everyone is talking about China because of Google's decision to reevaluate its business operations due to its attack to their systems as one of te primary reasons.
It has been reported that the said attack distinctively targets Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights advocates in the United States, Europe and China.
Other search engines have similar report cases such as Yahoo! Dow Chemicals, and Northrop Grumman.
Security researches found thattargeted attcks use several vectors. In some cases, email messages loaded with malicious file attachments were sent to users. An exploit code taking advantage of the recently-patched vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat (CVE-2009-4324) was used to drop malware on affected systems.
Some of the attack's use of previous undetected vulnerabilty of Internet Explorer except 5.01 (CVE-2010-0249). In its recent Security Advisory, Microsoft acknowledged that this bug was indeed used to launch attacks against Google and other organizations, and recommended several workaround solutions to help reduce the impact of this bug on IE users.
In some recent work-around, I guess we could try using other web browser like Firefox. So I recommend update your browser or aplications with its latest patch. As I could see most of the malware now attack users which are not yet patch.

Virus Payload
1. Installation: How the malware is able to setup itself on the system to be able to run properly
2. Propagation: An act of malware to replicate for the purpose of spreading across different computers
3. Payload: Any malicious activity being done by the malware aside from installation and propagation

Know the Basic about Malware
Before anything else we need to know the basic about malware. As my trainer said, as malware now is so complex and vey hard to detect, clean or to remove we still have to know the basic about malware so we could easily learn the best aproach how to deal with it.
Malware is malicious software or computer program that performs malicious activities
Types of Malware
1. Virus
- Infect files
- Executable codes / programs
- Inserted into another executable code / program
Examples
- Boot virus
- Binary file infectors
- Multipartite viruses
- Macro viruses
- Script viruses
2. Worm
- A form of malware that creates a copy of itself and then sends itself over the network to infect other systems
- Methods of worm propagation
Email
Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
Instant Messaging (IM) Applications
Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Applications
Network Shares
Vulnerability Exploits
3. Trojan
- A Trojan Horse is malware that does not have the capability to spread or propagate.
- Trojan Horse malware cannot propagate by themselves because they do not have the mechanism to send their own copy to another computer
- It gets into a users machine by riding on a third-party application that is trusted by the user
- The user is unaware that the system is infected
These are just the basic types of malware. I will share more information as we go with our journey in having a free malware world. Which I hope is possible.

Hello 2010, what happened last 2009
Its already 2010. But I would like to share what happened to me for the past months of 2009. There are so many things happened but let me just pointed out the things that are meaningful to me.
August - Nothing really happens. I just spend the whole month working.
September - The month of typhoon Ondoy. I spend my 24 hrs. in the office bacuse of this typhoon. Many places in Metro Manila especially Pasig, Marikina, Cainta and even our house in Quezon City got flooded.
October- I attended the Bowling Game in Paeng's Eastwood Bowling court. This is my birthday month and I just spend a simple celebration in our house. Thanks Marge for remembering me on my birthday!!!
I also volunteered to visit and check the status of my fellow Trenders located in Marikina whose affected by typhoon Ondoy.
November- I become a studio audience of Eat Bulaga.
I become a volunteer for an event of Haribon for A Million Hectare walk. This is an event which main goal is to get donations/pledges to plant endeginous trees all over the Philippines. I was able to got not just big money and donated it to Haribon organization.
December - I participated once more for Department Christmas presentation during our company's Christmas party. The part wherein I will always remember was during the part wherein I played the role for Backstreet boys. I was highlighted during its intro. Although we did not win, I still enjoyed it because once more I know that I have the talent. =)
I would like to thank God for all the blesssings. My life, my family, my work, my friends and everything I have. Thank you Lord God for blessing me this year 2009. In this coming year, I pray that God will continually bless me, my family and my work.
I also pray for peace, good health and better government this coming year. I also pray for a colorful love life I have.
I learned a lot this year. There are times when I feel like I failed but I am still grateful for these shortcomings motivated me to become a better person.
Happy New Year!!! Welcome 2010

Long time No post
It's been a long time since my last post. I am so busy in my job and I could not find even looking or opening my friendster. By the way, friendster has become unpopular because of Facebook.
I just want to share some notes I have after listening to this audiobook entitled "The Present".
The Present
Three (3) ways to use your present moment:
1. Be in the present.
2. When you want to be happy and successful focus on what is right now
3. Use your purpose to respond to what is important now
Learn from the past
1. When you want to make the present better than the past look what happened in the past
2. Learn something valuable from it
3. Do things differently in the present
Plan for the Future
If you want to make future better than the present
1. See what a wonderful future would look like
2. Make plans to help it happen
3. Put your plan into action in the present

Third time for GK- March 2009 round
For the third time I was able to attend the Home Building Program for Gawad Kalinga. Last week, March 2 to 6, 2009 I was on Calamba Laguna building homes not houses.
Our batch is just a small group composed of 16 Volunteers, Trenders from different offices in the globe. We have Trenders from Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, and the US. I met Program Managers, Marketing Assistant, Director, Accounts Receivable Assistant and fellow Technical Account Manager and of course my fellow Trenders from PH. We have Engineer from Consumer group, AV support team and from the IT department.
First time Trend Micro will held our program in Laguna and because the the main camp is in Batangas we stayed in a Hotel. We are lucky because we stayed in a Hotel with some recreational like pools, videoke and other outdoor sports like basketball.
Almost everyday, after the hard days work we go on swimming. One night we also do videoke. We also do basketball in the pool. Totally I really enjoyed the program.
What really touches me is this 3-4 year old boy who learned to do coloring. At first the boy does not know how to handle the pen and he colors overlapping the figure in the paper. We teach the boy how to handle the color pen and after a few minues he learned how to handle and to color inside the figure. I feel very proud myself and prouder with the boy for its like a new step in changing the future of this boy and I become the instrument for it.
First day of the build makes my body ache but I used to it as days go by. I got blister from our first day for we dig a ditch about 6 feet under the groud. I remembered Geoff one of the US volunteers joking and said "People are digging for Gold but we are digging for Shit." We also did planting and painting. We also help in bringing the mixed cement to the site.
We have many kiddie games and I did enjoy more when we did the Hephep Horay which is one of the games from Wowawe. We also did a Carnival Game and for our group we did the Balloon games. Other group did the pokpok palayok, hit the stack cans, and others. Its tiring but I enjoyed as well for we make so many children and people in Laguna to smile, laugh and appreciate our doings.
There are many things and stories I could tell but I will keep things on my own. I would like to share it but there is something which words not enough to explain.
For sure, if given another chance I will submit my application again.

HALAL
Has anyone recognize this mark logo to some of the food, beverages, cosmetics or in any things we consumed everyday? I guess if your a Muslim you definitely know the mesaning of this logo. For Christians like me I become curious what this logo mean. I was eating Voice Combo biscuit when I suddenly seen this logo and ask Mr. Google.
So here's what Wikipedia says about HALAL.
Halal (حلال, ḥalāl, Halaal) is an Arabic term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law and custom. It is the opposite of haraam. The term is widely used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law. It is estimated that 70% of Muslims worldwide follow halal food standards[1] and that the global halal market is currently a $580 (U.S.) billion industry[2].
In the Arabic language, the word 'halal' refers to anything that is permissible under Islam.

What I am feeling at this moment
Hi Tots, How are you today? I believe I am not good. I am always stress at work. I hope I can go on vacation and relax. At this moment all I want to do is to laydown and sleep. Eat all d*ay and relax for a few days.
This is late but Happy Hearts Day for Everyone
I know that I am late for this post but never late then never. Allthough I never had a great time last Feb 14 because I spent all day in the office. I never got the chance to enjoy this special day with special someone. I guess its my office computer is my special someone or something, you know. Not a good day for me you know. That day I handled a critical case and spend most of my time in the conference.
Actually I was awaken that day with a pen fallen in my face. After a few minutes my cellphone rung and an officemate is asking for help to handle a case. I decided to go to the office early that day.
SO I guess you will tell that I am workaholic. I believe I am, that is how I am dedicated with my work. But the day before Feruary 14, I am lucky to have a free big bear which I was able to get for the Valentine Event in our company.

Ten Signs That You Are Ready for a New Job or Career
You've been in your job for a few years. You get a decent paycheck and your benefits are helpful. But you wonder if something's missing. You try to tell yourself you should be happy you have such a good job, but some days you have to face how unhappy you are at work.
Are you settling? Are you making do in a job that really isn't a very good fit for you?
Read this list of ten clues to determine how many of these statements reflect how you feel about your work.
1) You get depressed every time you think of going back to work after a weekend, a long weekend, or a vacation.
The closer Monday morning gets, the more a sense of dread comes over you. You feel a pit in your stomach that you can't ignore. You wish there was something, anything, you could do to avoid going to work.
2) You spend more time recovering from work than having fun.
After you leave work each day it takes you several hours to feel like yourself again. You feel so tired all you can think about is sinking into your couch and zoning out in front of your television. You may have difficulty cooking a decent meal for dinner because you are so worn out from your stressful day at work. Over time you realize you rarely have the energy to head out after work with friends. Instead you rely on a glass of wine, a carton of ice cream, or a bowl of popcorn, and a DVD movie as your outlet for fun.
3) You watch the clock all day long.
You look at the clock on your computer, your cell phone, the wall of your office. The time creeps by, slowly, so very slowly. How often do you check the time each hour? How frequently do you check the clock in the last two hours of your work day? When time moves so slowly it's a good sign you aren't enjoying your work any more.
4) You spend too much time checking your personal email rather than working.
There are lots of ways to entertain yourself when you don't feel like working--checking your personal email, sending text messages, surfing the web, scanning opportunities on your favorite job board. How much time do you spend on non-work activities during a typical workday?
5) You take frequent mental health days.
Some days you wake up and just know you can't face a day at work. What do you do? Do you call in sick? Plan a vacation day? Fabricate a doctor appointment? Leave work early? Come up with something you need to do for your children? An occasional mental health day is a good strategy to take care of yourself. If you find you are taking more and more mental health days, you may want to take a look at why you aren't happy at work.
6) You have a resignation letter drafted and waiting.
On really bad days, do you spend time tweaking your resignation letter? Does it relieve some of your feelings of dread to imagine how you'll feel when you submit your letter or to visualize how you'll celebrate your new found freedom? Do you have a time line for when you want to resign? If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to start looking at your options so that you have something in the works when you do submit your resignation letter.
7) You complain about your job to anyone who listens.
Who knows you don't like your job? A better question may be: Who doesn't know? Do your closest friends know how frustrated you are at work? What about your immediate family members? How about your coworkers and colleagues? Do you talk with your hair stylist, manicurist or chiropractor about how unhappy you are? Are any of these people tired of hearing you complain about your work situation? Do they wish you'd get on with your life already? Rather than just talking about what's not working for you, it may be time to do some personal soul searching to determine your next move.
8) You are bored silly at work.
The tasks you do at work don't engage you any more. You've been there, done that. You can do the work in your sleep...some days you feel like you are! While you try to get your work done, you dream of having work that's fulfilling, meaningful, and engaging. You don't know what that will be, but you hope something else is out there that you can do.
9) You are consistently late for work.
No matter how hard you try, you seem to show up late for work. It's like pulling teeth to get yourself out of your house and into your car to get to work. You get distracted by the simplest tasks at home, trying to do just one more thing before you head into work. You may also find that you are showing up late for appointments, meetings, and phone calls. Your tendency to show up late may also manifest in your inability to meet deadlines at work. Although you may chalk your tardiness up to laziness or procrastination, I encourage you to see it as a sign that you don't want to be doing what you feel you must do. Time to look at your options!
10) You hope to win the lottery to solve your life's problems.
When all looks bleak, it's common to look for a miracle to get yourself out of the bind you are in. For some it's daydreaming about winning the lottery so that they no longer need a job to fulfill their monetary needs. Others may dream about what they'll do when they recieve an inheritance, finding a spouse who is stable financially, or winning big at Vegas. Whatever your dream, it's likely you are searching for confirmation that your time in this job is limited.
If you recognize any of these signs in your own life, it's time to make a commitment to yourself to explore your work options. Don't waste the days of your life in a job you don't like. Even if you can't make a move today, you can start exploring your options today. As soon as you envision what you want to do, the path that will take you to your future work will become clearer and clearer.

Are you settling? Are you making do in a job that really isn't a very good fit for you?
Read this list of ten clues to determine how many of these statements reflect how you feel about your work.
1) You get depressed every time you think of going back to work after a weekend, a long weekend, or a vacation.
The closer Monday morning gets, the more a sense of dread comes over you. You feel a pit in your stomach that you can't ignore. You wish there was something, anything, you could do to avoid going to work.
2) You spend more time recovering from work than having fun.
After you leave work each day it takes you several hours to feel like yourself again. You feel so tired all you can think about is sinking into your couch and zoning out in front of your television. You may have difficulty cooking a decent meal for dinner because you are so worn out from your stressful day at work. Over time you realize you rarely have the energy to head out after work with friends. Instead you rely on a glass of wine, a carton of ice cream, or a bowl of popcorn, and a DVD movie as your outlet for fun.
3) You watch the clock all day long.
You look at the clock on your computer, your cell phone, the wall of your office. The time creeps by, slowly, so very slowly. How often do you check the time each hour? How frequently do you check the clock in the last two hours of your work day? When time moves so slowly it's a good sign you aren't enjoying your work any more.
4) You spend too much time checking your personal email rather than working.
There are lots of ways to entertain yourself when you don't feel like working--checking your personal email, sending text messages, surfing the web, scanning opportunities on your favorite job board. How much time do you spend on non-work activities during a typical workday?
5) You take frequent mental health days.
Some days you wake up and just know you can't face a day at work. What do you do? Do you call in sick? Plan a vacation day? Fabricate a doctor appointment? Leave work early? Come up with something you need to do for your children? An occasional mental health day is a good strategy to take care of yourself. If you find you are taking more and more mental health days, you may want to take a look at why you aren't happy at work.
6) You have a resignation letter drafted and waiting.
On really bad days, do you spend time tweaking your resignation letter? Does it relieve some of your feelings of dread to imagine how you'll feel when you submit your letter or to visualize how you'll celebrate your new found freedom? Do you have a time line for when you want to resign? If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to start looking at your options so that you have something in the works when you do submit your resignation letter.
7) You complain about your job to anyone who listens.
Who knows you don't like your job? A better question may be: Who doesn't know? Do your closest friends know how frustrated you are at work? What about your immediate family members? How about your coworkers and colleagues? Do you talk with your hair stylist, manicurist or chiropractor about how unhappy you are? Are any of these people tired of hearing you complain about your work situation? Do they wish you'd get on with your life already? Rather than just talking about what's not working for you, it may be time to do some personal soul searching to determine your next move.

Dear President
Good day Madam President
It is a challenge for me to do this letter but I would like to tell the world the feelings I have with regards with our country. I would like to write something in Philippine history the say of a simple man like me about the condition and what I think most people think about our country.
Ms. Gloria Macapagal was elected as Vice President of our country when Joseph Etrada was elected as our 13th president. Due to Jueteng parolla controversy that was revealled by his companion and the Ilocos Governor Chavit Singson he was forced to resign as president of the Philippines. Ms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo becomes the president of our country that day. All Filipinos are hoping that life becomes much better because the country is in the hands of a woman, once more. First was with Corazon Aquino- but sorry to say she is not a good leader for me for there is no such great opportunies or good things done during here presidency. Life of Filipinos continues to go down from Ferdinand Marcos, Corazon Aquino, to Fidel Ramos, to Joseph Estrado and worsten with the hands of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
For the first time in the history of Philippines when a President got a negative zero approval rate from the results of survey. Another thing, how many times she change her Administration officials. Even the frequent changes of positions for Department of Justice, the people in the Department of Defence and the Policeman Generals. Now look on the people you appointed for these positions? If you have power to change these people why can't you yourself goes down and look for a worthy one.
There are so many people who goes on strike, rallies, people who resigned during her presidency and even people who goes out publicly to tell the problem and your wrong doings.You loose our trust and our hope. Trust for me is very important for a leader. You become a leader because we trust you, we believe in you. Now if a single person does not trust you I believe that you have to re-examine yourself and see if you are still worthy.
You heard a lot of advises, feedback from your countrymen, seeing the current situation, I know that you are very stressful and pressured but you should act now. You have to listen to your conscience and think that your family will suffer for the years or generations to come.
I am saying this because I would like you to go down to your chair because you lost your credibility, your integrity and the trust of millions of Filipino.
We suffered a lot from your actions and we need change. We need someone who can run, who can handle this country better. A nationalist person, a person who thinks not for himself but for the good of his country.
I know it is easy for me to say these things for I am not in your position. But you need to re-examine yourself, the people around you if you are still worthy to be called a leader.
Just to add, I am not agaist the government for I still believe that we need government which will lead the people. But we need people who are trusted and have a great credibility and integrity.
Hope you can hear these words.

Two movies on Monday
After my movie marathon last Sunday, the next day I watch my saved movies at home.
First is entitled Frost/Nixon. It is a story about the man- David Frost who challenge himself to interviewed the resigned 37th President of the United States due to Watergate case. He was able to bring out some truth and the true feeling and color of the ex-president. That is the highlight of the story.
From this story I suddenly think of the current status of our government. I know there is similarities to what is happening to our country. The only difference is that the Philippine government officials though they know to themselves that they are saying not the truth they still have face to and keeping themselves in their position.
I am hoping that these Government officials learned to accept their wrong doings and correct it.
Now the second movie is entitle "The Express". Is is a story of a great Black American who excell in American Football. At that time, Black people or they called Negro is considered a low level people with the White people. There is a racial descrimination in the Amerika especially in Texas state. The highlight of this story goes when his Football coach change his thinking and his treat to this young Negro "Ernie Davis" and to other Black Americans. Ernie died at the age of 23 because of his leukemia.
I still recommend that Philippined government officials to watch Frost/Nixon movie and hope they change. And for people who look themselves superior that the others, and for those people whose degrading themselves to watch The Express. You will find these two movies very inspiring.

Movie Marathon
Last Sunday I went to movie house and use my winning Movie pass tickets. I got those two movie passed during one of the Events in our company. It will actualy expired this coming Sunday of February so I decided to use it.
I got to the movie house around 6PM. Ahead, I plan to watch Australia but it is already started so I go for Inkheart.
Inkheart is a story about a person they called him- Silver tongue because everything he read from a book will go into life or will happen. Any kind of things like an extra ordinary creatures or even the characters from the story or book is like they wil come into life. The story goes like the main character is seekking ways to bring his wife came out from the book because it happened then wheneve a character goes out from the book someone will go into the book. The story ended when his daugther, happened to be a Silver tongue as well make way to change the story and bring everything back to normal.
After this movie, good to me that I can still catch the next screening for Australia. Is was almost 8PM when the movie started. I am hungry that time and don't have time to go out to the movie house to buy food for I do not want to miss the start.
Australia, from the title itself happened and about the history of Australia. The movie is about the history of Australis during world war 2 when Japanese envades countries in Asia. The story is about the woman who lost her husband who at that time have a ranch in Australia. The land is called "Far Away Down". The woman- Nicole Kidman able to find new love from an Austalian man (aka. Driver / Drover) and find her motherhood love with this young kid named Nala. Nala is a native Australian boy whom Nicole "Ashley" love as if her own.
Overall, I am satisfied and happy for the movies. I recommend Australia for it is a great movie. You will find yourself inspired and will learn a lot of things from this story. About the story of love, sacrifice, acceptance, being strong, faith, hope, equallness, understanding and a lot more. You will learn alot of life lessons in this story. This is a life or history and that is one of the reason why I wath this movie for I know I will learn a lot from it. And it is true.

Waste by Jonathan Thulin
Not gonna waste
Im not gonna wasted
I sat down on this chair
Just the other day
Thinking how of the thing
My life has try'n to say
Whats my purpose my creed
Where theres simplicity
Above the thing I say I believe
Been so hurt in the past
My struggles seem to weigh
Me down into the dust
Been feeling out of church
Realize if my pain is all Im thinking of
Where will the joy confirm
*
So Im not gonna waste another day
Im not gonna waste another tear
Im not gonna waste another breath
Im not gonna waste another word
Im not gonna waste my turn again
Im not gonna waste my happy end
Im sorry heartache
But Im not gonna waste another moment on you
no no no
When did I lose that fire
The burn I used to have
Lost my faith appetite
Believing in the bad
My focus has been tourned
But running in reverse
I lost my will to say
Repeat *
I found myself behind the wall
But its not gonna block me
I found myself inside the storm
But its not gonna moving me
I found myself beneath of you Lord
In every situation
ohh I need to be renewed
yehhhh ohhh o ahhhh woooo
Repeat *
Im sorry heartache
But Im not gonna wasted
Im sorry heartache
But im not gonna waste another moment on you
Im not gonna wasted
Try to hear the music from this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZCvGBBMyj0
I could not find the lyrics online so if someone could correct it, please do so. Thanks again.
I might be a fan of this guy, hope if he will join American Idol then I would pray that he could make it to the Final. Good luck Jonathan Thulin.
