I joined a networking site called Multiply some months back and really got into it for a time, looking at other people’s photos and reading their blog entries. I even have two sites, one for me, one for Anton. In both sites, I posted pictures and made entries… then I tapered off. Somehow, the Multiply site felt “crowded”…too many people with instantaneous access to my site because I am the contact of So and So.

But here in Blogspot where only a handful of people know that it exists, here is where I truly feel at home, the place where I can put my feet up, cross my arms behind my back, feel the breeze fanning my cheek, while I listen to the cadence that is in my heart.

Earlier this week, I was channel surfing and chanced upon Channel V’s music video featuring “Remember Me This Way”, the theme song of the movie Casper starring Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman, incidentally one of my favorite movies. A favorite scene in the movie was the one of 13 year old Kat (played by Ricci) lying on her bed with Casper hovering above her. In the scene, Kat was telling Casper about her dead mother, how Kat remembers how her mom smelled like Ivory soap, and how Kat would breathe her in. She asked Casper how it was like to die and Casper said that its like being born…only backwards. Kat then asked Casper if her Mom could possibly still remember her and Casper said, “your mother will never forget you, Kat.”

Casper then asked Kat that if he were alive, would Kat go with him to the Halloween dance party being organized by Kat’s school. Kat mumbled a “uh-hmmm” as her eyes were already closed and sleepy. Casper hovered lower to Kat and whispered, “Kat, can I keep you?” then kissed Kat on her cheek. Kat shivered then frowned, her eyes still closed and said, “Casper, please close the window. Its cold.” My heart went out to Casper as Casper’s face grew sad as he slowly descended and positioned himself to sleep at Kat’s feet, his ghostly form luminous in the darkened bedroom.

So, as I was lying there, listening to the song and watching the Movie’ trailer, I thought that it was the best song to dedicate to my Tagaytay Buddy, my forever friend, who todate, continues to feel the pain of his broken heart.

Forget the 90 days, Fred. Its gonna take you a Year, just like me, depending how the West wind blows by May 2008 and for how long your heart will continue to hope. This song is for you.




Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down…

Who understands it all
Reaches out each time we fall
You’re the best friend I have found…

I know you can’t stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay…

Refrain: I’ll make a wish for you,
And hope it will come true,
If life will just be kind,
To such a gentle mind,
If you lose your way,
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way,
Remember me this way.

I don’t need eyes to see
The love you bring to me,
No matter where I go
And I know that you’ll be there
Forever – more a part of me and everywhere
I’ll always care….

Refrain:

And I’ll be right behind your shoulder, watching you
I’ll be standing by your side, in all you do
And I won’t ever leave, as long as you believe, you just believe…

Refrain:
