I LIKE YOU

I like you
And I know why.
I like you because
You are a good person to like.

I like you because…
When I tell you something special
You know its special
And you remember it
A long, long time.

You say:
“Remember when you told me
Something special?”
And both of us remember.
When I think something is important,
You think its important too.

We have good ideas.
When I say something funny, you laugh.
I think I’m funny.
You think I’m funny too.

I like you because…
You know where I’m ticklish
And you don’t tickle me there
Except just a tiny bit.
Sometimes.
Stop!

But if you do, then I know where
To tickle you too.
You know how to be silly.
That’s why I like you.
Girl! Are you ever silly!
I never met anyone sillier than me
Till I met you.

I like you because…
You know when its time to stop
Being silly.

Maybe day after tomorrow.
Maybe never.
Oops! Too late!
Its quarter past silly.

We fool around the same way all the time.
Sometimes we don’t say a word.
We snurkle under fences,
We spy secret places.
If I’m a goofus on the roofus,
You are one too.

You can’t stand others being
So googly and goggly
Every single moment.
You want to know about things…
It takes time.

I like you because…
If I am mad at you
Then you get mad at me too.
Its awful when the other person isn’t.
Phooey!
They are just so nice and so hoo, hoo,
You could just punch them in the nose.

I like you because…
When I think I’m going to throw up
You don’t pretend you’re busy
Looking at the birds and all that.
You say: “Maybe it was Something you ate”.
You say: “That happened to me one time”.
And the same thing did.

If you find two four-leaf clovers,
You give me one.
If I find four, I give you two.
If we find only three, we keep looking.
Sometimes we have good luck,
And sometimes we don’t.

If I break my arm and if you break your arm too,
Then it’s lots of fun to have a broken arm.
You tell me about mine
And I tell you about yours.
We both are sorry.
We write names and draw pictures.
We show everybody
And they wish
They had broken arms too.

I like you because….
- I don’t know why -
But -
Everything that happens is nicer with you.
I can’t remember when I didn’t like you.
It must have been lonesome then.

I like you because - because - because -
It’s the fourth of July
On the fifth of July.
And if you and I had some drums
And some horns and horses
And some fire engines,
we could be a holiday
we could be a celebration
We could be a whole parade.
See what I mean?

Even if it was the nine hundred and ninety ninth of July
Even if it was August
Even if it was way down at the bottom of November
Even if it was no place in particular in January
I would go on choosing you
And you would go on choosing me
Over and over again
That’s how it would happen every time.
I don’t know why.

I guess I don’t know why I really like you.
Why do I like you???
I guess I like you…
I guess I really like you
BECAUSE I LIKE YOU.

RIVERS

Words and Music by:
A. Abanador

Chords: E–B–A–E

Caught up in a railway where the wind passes by,
leads me to a river slowly running’ wild.
Suddenly I met a man with a shirt on his hand,
calling my attention shouting loud and said…

Refrain: B–A–E– (2x)
Have you ever seen there’s a hole in the sky?
I turn my head and said, I don’t know where to find.

Life is just an endless stream of hurts and surprise.
No one’s really sure what we’ve gonna find.
Take my hand and understand what I’m really tryin’ to say.
Making new perspective take it anyway.

Refrain l l
Someday you’ll fly looking back wondering why,
rivers on your mind flow inside where they hide.

l l l
Just beneath your gentle mind where you keep all your desires.
There where something missing that you just can’t find.
Look outside and you will find what you didn’t see,
rivers slowly dying’ cause you’ve failed like me.

Refrain l l l
Open your mind and try to undestand,
soon the walls you’ve made crumbles down running break.

I V
Caught up in a railway where the wind passes by,
leads me to the river slowly dying now.

KUNG PINOY SI NOAH….

Ganito ang mangyayari sa barko.

Taong 2005 at isang ordinaryong middle class pinoy si Noah. Nagpakita
sa kanya ang Diyos at sinabing “Pagkataposng isang taon ay bubuhos ang
ulan at babahain ang buong kapuluan ng Pilipinas. Gusto kong
gumawa ka ng isang malaking arko at isakay mo rito ang pares-pares
na mga hayop at mga mag-asawang pilipino sa iba’t ibang kapuluan.” Ibinigay kay Noah ang specs ng Arko at taos puso nitong tinanggap ang responsibilidad na sagipin ang sambayanang Pilipino sa napipintong pagbaha.

Lumipas ang taon, muling nagpakita ang Diyos kay Noah. Walang arkong
nagawa si Noah at galit na galit siyang tinanong ng Diyos, “Nasaan ang arko na ipinagawa ko sa iyo?” Tumugon si Noah, “Patawarin po ninyo ako kung di po
natupad ang utos ninyo! Nagkaroon po ng malaking problema sa plano po ninyo .”

At inilahad ni Noah ang mga sagabal na nakaharap niya sa pag-gawa ng arko.
Humingi siya ng Mayor’s permit pero papayag lang daw si Mayor kung ang gagawa ng arko ay ang construction firm ng kanyang pamangkin. Tumungo siya sa
Congressman pero papayag lang daw si Congressman kung may matatanggap siyang 30% commission. Nagtayo ng unyon ang mga kinuha niyang manggagawa at nag-strike.

Natunugan ng mga left-leaning groups ang kanyang balak at ang mga ito ay
nag-rally dahil daw sa hindi makatarungang pagpili ng mga taong sasakay sa arko (mga taong naniniwala lang sa Diyos ang pwedeng sumakay). Nakisali sa rally ang mga bakla at tomboy dahil bias daw na normal na mag-asawa lang ang pwedeng sumakay.

Ang civil society group ay nakisali na rin sa gulo dahil napag-alaman daw nila na ang pondong gagamitin sa paggawa ng arko ay galing sa donasyon ng
mga gambling lords at katas ng weteng.

Sa kaguluhang ito ay napilitang magpatawag ng hearing ang senado “in aid of legislation”. Sinubukan ni Noah na gamitin ang EO 464 para makaiwas sa hearing pero dahil hindi sya executive official, napilitan siyang tumistigo.

Nang malaman ng senado na utos ng Diyos ang pagpapagawa ng arko, dineklara
nila itong unconstitutional dahil hindi raw nito iginalang ang separation ng
church at state .

Nakialam na rin ang NBI at PNP at sinabi nilang meron silang impormasyon
na ang barko raw na ito ay gagamitin ni Erap sa kanyang pagtakas. Sinabi naman ng ISAFP at DOJ na ito raw ay gagamitin ng grupong Magdalo sa binabalak nilang coup laban kay Arroyo. Nilapitan ni Noah si Mike Defensor para makipag-usap kay GMA. Payag daw si GMA na ituloy ang arko kung ipapaskil
daw sa arko ang malaking mukha ni Arroyo na may slogan “Towards a Strong Republic”. “Hindi po ako pumayag kaya hanggang ngayon po ay may TRO ang pag-gawa ng arko.

Sa palagay ko po kailangan ko pa ng 10 taon para matapos ang inyong proyekto.” Ang huling wika ni Noah. Napa-iling ang Diyos at sinabing, “Di ko na kailangang
wasakin pa ang bansang ito. Hayaan ko na lang kayong sumira nito.”
