BESTFRIEND

I would like to share this very beautiful song. Actually, this is a worship song by Puff Daddy. My eyes would always get wet and i end up wiping them. Tears will just flow like rain whenever I hear this song. I don't know why. The lyrics are just so real and very touching. I am not a fan of Puff Daddy coz I am not a fan of rap music either...but this particular song hit my innermost being. I got a sample of the song below. If you have the entire song...please share it those people who would also like to hear songs like this. Enjoy the song but don't forget to sqeeze out the juice from it. Drink the juice and put it in your heart and feel it rule you.

Best Friend - Puff Daddy

BESTFRIEND
By Puff Daddy

I’ve seen a lot of things in my life
A lot of ups and downs
Made a lot of mistakes
No matter what, you’ve always been by my side
You’ve always been my best friend
You’re the love of my life (oh)
You’re everything to me (oh)
You never left my side (you’re my best friend)
I love you so much (yes, you are)
You’re my best friend


Since the beginning of time
All you did was bless men
Too young to understand but now you my best friend
How could they doubt you, never think about you
Don’t they know nothings possible without you

Faith without fear that’s how they raised me
Words of man kill but never phase me
Grateful for wisdom that you gave me
But still I’m like, dear God I wonder, could you save me?
Too much sinning, gotta be more than plush living
Gotta be more than grabbing nines to buck tin in
Gotta be more than just to lust women
Gotta be more than platinum Rolexes, 600s and crushed linen
Praise your name, I know some of them hate their due
Judgment day, don’t they know they cant escape your crew
I’m just trying to live right and pray you take me through
And with this song I dedicate to you, my lord


Lord, you mean the world to me
Before I was born you chose me
You always hear me when I’m calling
Even catch me when I’m falling
You’re the closest one to me
I surrender all to thee
I want the whole wide world to see
That we’ve always been and well always be
Best friends


Sometimes I reminisce and wonder how I made it this far
Because of you, I’m me, so you the real star
Your hindsight, the times right to get my mind tight
Then give it to you and let it shine bright
My best friend, only know how to teach the truth
Plant the seeds of life and let them eat the fruit
Cant you see that he spread love for you
Shed blood for you, cry for and die for you
Willies with mac millies know how you get down
We know the drama you bring whenever you hit town
Just remember when you pray, God is love
Gracious, merciful, forgive even the hardest thugs
Life as we know it, it all begins with him
Life as we know it, it all ends with him
If I was you I would never try to pretend with him
He might spaz and blow it, I’m best friends with him

Repeat 1


Been two and a half years since my man big passed
Been two and a half years since my world crashed
I needed help, God gave me the power
Gave me the strength to go face to face with my darkest hour
Looked me in the eyes and ask what you doing unhappy?
Don’t you know why I’m here? and started shooting at me
Back to the wall, is my faith gonna play out
Never wavered once, gave me no way out
Your time to die, don’t even stress the date
You’re coming with me, your soul I’m next to take
I told him I’m too much blessed with faith
And living for Christ and then he said manifest the great
All of a sudden, what I’m remembering
Ground started to shake, everything trembling
The power of the truth was shooting through my timberlands
Here was my Lord Jesus Christ, my best friend again, come on

Repeat 1 while:


You mean everything to me
You’ve been with me from day one
Even when I thought nobody was there
You were there
You’re my best friend
I love you like no other
There is no feeling like this in the world
If you can relate to what I’m feeling
Put your hands in the air for me
Let me see you
Now, matter of fact clap your hands for me
Clap your hands, come on
Thank you Jesus
You always hear me when I’m calling
Always catch me when I fall, yeah
I surrender all to thee
I want the whole world to see
That you’ve always been, you’ll always be
My best friend
I love you Jesus
Thank you, forgive me for my trespasses
As I forgive those who trespass against me
Thank you

Remembering Ninong...My Coffee Buddy

This is an article I wrote for the special edition of the school organ where i used to work. I was assigned by my co-worker to write an article for my then principal Mr. Rodolfo C. Bagay. This is the first article i wrote and i got some great reviews. Some even cried when they read this...that's what they said. To my Ninong Rody...I know you are now enjoying the peacefulness and greatness of heaven. You will always be a part of my life. "Do your honest best!" is what Ninong would always say to us.

Here is the entire article...please read


Remembering Ninong...My Coffee Buddy

It was 1996 when I first met Mr. Rodolfo C. Bagay. At that very moment, I felt the sincerity and warmth in him. Ang sabi ko pa nga sa sarili ko…”Ang bait naman pala ng principal dito sa ICSB...at tinawag pa ko na ‘Sir’!” I can still remember those golden days when the entire faculty will have lunch together in a big table with Sir Bagay telling stories that would make us laugh and sometimes think about some intelligent anecdotes. Since then, he never ceased to play father to me. Although the father image is very strong, the authority as the principal of the school is always there, oozing with dignity and warmth, not to mention his great sense of humor. You will never see him angry or raised his voice when things are not in the right places. Minsan nga e pinapagalitan na pala niya kami e di mo pa mararamdaman. Matatauhan ka na lang pagkatapos ng pag uusap ninyo. Kasi, dun mo lang maiisip at mararamdaman na napagalitan ka pala. Sir Bagay is fond of using words that are subtle and nice yet piercing. May kurot, wika nga.

One of the happiest memories I have with Sir Bagay was the time when the rest of the male faculty will have our “For the Boys Session” few years ago. He would always offer the comfort of his house for us to have some happy gatherings after a day’s hard work. By the way, I am Sir Bagay’s recording secretary since last school year. Would you believe that after I typed in and printed some of his documents, he would be the one who will offer me his sugarfree coffee (sometimes coupled with a piece of bread or biscuit)? Where in the world can you find someone like him? Kung minsan nga e mabibigla ka na lang, kasi matatawag mo siya na “Tatay” sa halip na Sir Bagay. We are indeed very lucky to have a principal and a father in one incredible person.

Before I forget, Sir Bagay is also my “ninong” in “Kumpil”. Ewan ko ba kung ano ang nangyari at di ako nakumpilan nuong bata pa ako. Pero nuong nagdesisyon ako na magpakumpil sa edad na 32 taong gulang, walang ibang tao o personalidad sa buhay ko ang naisip ko na gawing ninong kundi si Sir Bagay lang. And then, after the confirmation rites, I received a gift from him (hahahaha! parang bata!)… a bible. Maybe Ninong is telling me that aside from asking him pieces of advice, I can always ask God for guidance, protection and forgiveness.

When my biological father died in December 1999, instantly, of course, I lost my dearest father. I can still remember the time when all the good memories of my father flashed before my eyes. Now…feeling of lost and pain are here again. I lost another father.

My three-in-one coffee buddy…my father, my mentor, my ninong.
