Having confidence in oneself
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. – Eleanor Roosevelt I remembered the movie the ‘Sound of Music’ and wanted to see it again so I browsed through You Tube for videos. Luckily, they did publish the songs. Some editing companies even edited it to fit You Tube specs. Saw Julie Andrews’ performance of the song “I Have Confidence in Me”. Reminded me of the feelings I had before I moved to Holland. Of course I did not move here to take care of seven children or be a nanny. But like Julie Andrews, I was also moving from one place to another....

Mark and I are in the process of completing our music cd for our Philippine wedding. We included songs from Dutch and Filipino artists. This is one of the songs that made the list — Alles is Liefde. We saw the movie last year and that was the first Dutch film I saw. I personally like it for the lyrics and the beat. It has both rock and acoustic versions. Alles is liefdeVoor wie dat wilEn voor wie nog durft te dromenOver wonderlijke prinsen op witte paardenDie niet goed kunnen rijdenEn hun geheimen lang bewaardenEn alles is ook liefdeVoor wie stilletjes verlangt Alles is liefdeAlles is...

Browsing through the net looking for information about JC Buendia, I found a story about Gerard Salonga’s wedding. A friend of mine suggested I should just get JC Buendia to design my wedding gown.

One of the first Dutch songs I heard when I studied here in the Netherlands in 2005 (RNTC, Intl Brodcast Journ) was “Geef mij je angst“. It’s not a very happy song but the beat reminds you of Barry Manilow songs. GEEF MIJ JE ANGST by Guus Meeuwis Je zegt ik ben vrij maar jij bedoelt ik ben zo eenzaamJe voelt je te gek zeg jij maar ik zit niet te dromenWant die blikken in je ogen zegen alles tegen mijIk voel me precies als jij dus jij kan eerlijk zijnJe voelt je heel goed zeg jij je mond begint te trillenIk weet dat ik jou kan helpen maar je moet zelf willenElkaar nu een...
