We are Family!

I think I really found a way to keep my brother and Willy from watching TV while I’m doing the housework, and that is playing music that they like! I didn’t realize that would be the result of it until this weekend. We woke up at 9am on Saturday and I played the songs on the new CD I bought. I was playing it from the laptop on my room and my brother came out from his room and turned the TV on. And I told him, ‘Can’t you see, I’m listening to music, turn that off!’. And he did, not out of fear but of goodwill seeing that I’m preparing breakfast for him. Hehe..

 

Suddenly, as I was cooking, I felt they both were uneasy just sitting on the sofa and listening to the beautiful love songs. Then they both set off to do something, Arjay went back to his room to fix his things, and Willy prepared his baggage for Singapore, also doing some house work themselves, while humming or singing with the music. I was a bit surprised about my discovery and smiled secretly. I don’t need to push their asses to throw out the garbage or put things in order. And now Saturday morning will always be ‘Music Morning’! Leisure time comes later after all the housework.

 

One of the songs in the CD is “My Love Will See You Through” by Marco Sison. I remember my father singing that to me when I was still in college. Below are the lyrics.

 

My Love Will See You Through lyrics

by Marco Sison

 

When friends turn their backs on you, And you're so helpless, You dont know what to do, I'll be on your side to comfort you, My love will see you through, When the tears are in your eyes, And you feel like you wanna cry, Just reach out and i'll be around to understand, When you stumble and fall, And you need a shoulder to lean on, All you have to do is call, And i'll be there with a helping hand, When the road seem so long and endless, And all you see is nothing but darkness, Dont give up just walk on, Have faith in your heart, For my love will see you through

 

My love will see you through, When you reach for your star, When you cross the deepest sea, When you climb the highest hill, my love will always be with you, In everything you do, In every step you'll make, In every road you take, Don't be afraid to follow your dreams, For my love will see you through

 

Next week, 3 Feb 2011, he’s turning 48, and he said they will visit us. Hope they’ll go as planned as my leave applications have already been approved!
