Note to Heaven by Charice Pempengco

WOW!! Charice Pempengco, you're truly amazing. You did not merely make Filipinoes proud of your astounding success, you're singing prowess gives hope and inspiration as well.



International singing sensation Charice unveiled her first international single, “Note to God,” on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", a performance that brought the popular American host to tears.

Like Oprah Winfrey, one of the world's most influential women, Charice herself was teary eyed as she belted out the last part of the song amid cheers and applause from the audience.

“Note to God” was composed and written by Grammy Award-winning Diane Warren and produced by legendary David Foster.

Charice was accompanied by an orchestra and chorus as she performed her much-anticipated debut single. Foster, meantime, played the piano.

"I'm so nervous... this is really big for me. I sang my first song, my own song. And the people will say, ‘Oh, that is Charice's song,’" said the Filipino pint-sized singer, who became popular belting out Celine Dion and Whitney Houston hits.


Note to God Lyrics by Charice Pempengco

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away,
For love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I would say what on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
Until these times
If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
And I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

No, no no no
We can't do this on our own
So

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God

The LAW of GARBAGE TRUCK

Take a look Guys :-) I received a message from a friend- " The LAW of GARBAGE TRUCK", in my e-mail and I must say I was refreshed to take a look at brighter side of the big picture of life. You too, why don't you read a little bit.


One day, I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of aparking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! 'This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day.

Ummmm... Isn't it the taxi driver quite right. Though you don't realize it you have pile of garbage - your baggages and hang-ups in life - you dump to neighnor's backyard.

If someone wronged me, I castigatte him terribly and shout bad words at him in fact I'll try to hit him physically. Actually, I only do that in my mind (my own imagination), in my case it's effective, in that manner I could release my anger.

You, too, some people hurt you terribly or life is unfair but don't dwell on that, don't deny yourself to live life. Maybe you'd say I don't know anything about you, how obnoxious experience you've been through so who the hell I am to tell you to let go and treat things lightly. Yeah, that's absolutely right to a certain degree we're two different poeple. Yet, you and I face the same things in life - Problems, frustration, sufferings, pain, love, happiness so forth and so on...

Wherever you are, whatever you have, somehow someway you can be happy (not at the expense of others of course) and that it's up for you to decide. From Dr. Scott Peck's book The Road Less Travelled he said " Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we trascend it. One we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters."

The key point is don't let garbage your stock-up and stink your mind and mouth. Don't let wrinkles mar your beautiful face. Please :-)

Have a garbage-free day too...
