Dreams are my reality

I'm dedicating this post to my brother who celebrated his birthday last November 20, because my wish is for his dreams to become real.

I must admit though, that every time I see my Dreams List blog, I silently sing "Dreams Are My Reality" because I always wish that some, if not all these dreams, will come true (except for some dreams in my sleep like my friend who became a vampire, LOL!}.

Met you by surprise, I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there, I didn't know I cared
There was something special in the air.

Dreams are my reality
The only real kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it's meant to be.

Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems alright
Although it's only fantasy.

If you do exist, honey don't resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it's true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you.

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness has past
And maybe now at last
I'll see how a real thing can be.

Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality.

Met you by surprise, I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Tell me that it's true
Feelings that are cue
I feel something special about you.

Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy.

Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality.

Working in the dark

I finally got a project based job from my former employer in the medical department. But before you get excited, let me complete my story. I am working closely with a former office mate whom I also worked closely in the past, and I consider him one of my close male friends. We worked overtime one day, and since we were working on our computer monitors, we hardly noticed that it was getting dark. Until I noticed that the surrounding was totally pit black so I told him, "Hey, let's open the light because it's too dark, the people outside might not think right since we're alone here". He replied, "No! I don't want them to see me!". He went near me, led my hand to touch one of his fangs while saying, "Look at my fangs, they're growing!" (as long as my index finger!). And then I woke up.

I've published this dream in my "Dreams List" blog, but after two days I saw the billboard of "Twilight", the movie, so I thought of incorporating a part of its soundtrack in this post, Linkin Park's "Leave Out All The Rest".

Bloggers Unite for refugees

I’ve been busy with a task for a family event the last two days, I forgot to finalize and publish my Bloggers Unite entry about refugees. As with the other topics I’ve participated in under Bloggers Unite, I’m not a resource person as far as the topic is concerned, but I’ve gone to a refugee center in Athens, Greece, in 2005, when I was there with my daughter and the members of the University of Asia and the Pacific Chorale. The number of the refugees we’ve seen was overwhelming. They could come from Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan, Afghanistan as well as from parts of Africa and other nations

Before the chorale offered a few songs for the refugees, there seemed to be an informal evangelism class, and I was able to shoot a photo as shown. Based on the pamphlets displayed at the center, I would say that one of the center’s focal activity for the refugees was evangelism. I found the website that tells more about this center and I hope through this post, people will visit the Athens Refugee Center website and see how they can help. Visiting a refugee center was a worthwhile experience, because now I know that a refugee center's programs can also help the refugees continue to dream big.
