Man In The Mirror

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right...

As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-Out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways-Ooh!)
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make that...
(Take a look at yourself and then make that...)
Change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
(Man in the mirror-Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know... That man
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Ooooh...)
Oh no, no no...
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it. Yourself!
(Yeah!-Make that change!)
I've got to make that change, today!
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself...
Brother...
Hoo!
(Yeah!-Make that change!)
You know-I've got to get that man, that man...
(Man in the mirror)
You've got to
You've got to move! Come on! Come on!
You got to...
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(Yeah-Make That Change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Aaow!
(Yeah-Make that change)
Gonna make that change... come on!
(Man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know...
(Change...)
Make that change

Different and Similar

2005-11-06T05:32:00.000-08:00

I was making write ups and testimonials for a couple of people lately… I owe my sleepless nights (because my mind works better at night) and lost vacation hours to the numerous (but worthwhile) requirements of our Annual (yearbook). While thinking about what to write for a particular person I find myself inserting the word “unique” in the picture. I can’t help but smile about how people are unique in their own way. I know it’s a cliché. But a few months ago I read Tuesdays with Morrie and it says there that you have to see how people are similar so you would understand them and be able to relate to them. Parang yung golden rule: don’t do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you because more or less people have similar likes and dislikes. So people are different and similar at the same time. I recall Dash saying from the movie The Incredibles: if everybody’s unique (or special) then nobody’s unique (or special). Hehe..sounds like a philosophical argument…haaay…the wonders of God…the capabilities of the human mind…amazing. I figured that people are like recipes. They come from the same array of available ingredients combined, prepared, and presented in different manners.

UP IBA Kids' Day Out

2005-09-09T23:54:00.000-07:00

I just came from UP IBA's Kids' Day Out earlier at UST hospital. We had a bit of an art workshop, storytelling, and games for the young patients of the hospital. Its so fulfilling to devote a portion of your time, energy, and money to make other people (spesially kids) happy. Ang biggest reward na natanggap ko sa activity na ito ay ang mga thank you ng mga bata, parents, at staff ng ospital. May bonuses pa ko cause i gain new freinds dahil may mga new apps na pumunta, not to mention a new text buddy sa katauhan ni Mae Ann. We could only do so much bacause after all only God can cure them, mas napasaya nila ako kaysa napasaya ko sila. Let us all spread love!!! Salamat sa lahat ng nag-attend ng Kids Day Out, mabasa nyo man ito or not thank you pa rin. Ciao for now!!!

....Smile....if you just smile... :-)
