STATUS: Doon Lang

Kung natapos ko ang aking pag-aaral
Disin sana'y mayron na akong dangal
Na ihaharap sa'yo at ipagyayabang
Sa panaginip lang ako may pagdiriwang

Yaman at katanyagan sa akin ay wala
Kakisigan ko ay bunga ng isang sumpa
Ang aking ina ang tangi kong tagahanga
Sa panaginip lang ako may nagagawa

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin
Doon ay kaya kong igapos ihip ng hangin
Doon ay kaya kong pagbawal buhos ng ulan
Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t'wina
Doon lang

Kung 'di dahil sa barkada ay tapos ko na
Ang pag-aaral na nagbibigay ng halaga
Sa awitin kong ito mo lang madarama
Mga pangarap kong walang pangagamba

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin
Doon ay kaya kong igapos ihip ng hangin
Doon ay kaya kong pagbawal buhos ng ulan
Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t'wina
Doon lang

Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin
Doon ay kaya kong igapos ihip ng hangin
Doon ay kaya kong pagbawal buhos ng ulan
Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t'wina
Doon lang

Absence also makes the heart forget.

"Some say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but until when? Until when can you endure not seeing his/her smile, not being able to hug him/ her when you're happy and when you're not. When you don't know if the both of you still feel the same way. Because sometimes, absence also makes the heart forget. It is important, in a relationship, that you see him/ her, your loved one, the physical presence, that you don't have to talk at all. With just a touch, a pat on a shoulder or a hug, both of you already understand each other. Everything's complete. So, if you are far from your loved ones, find time to reach out. Because if you really love them, there are no hills or mountains big enough to show how much is your love for them."

- Sarah Geronimo, Sarah G Live (ABS-CBN), August 19, 2012. Her spiel, done during the instrumental part of the Oleta Adams' song Get Here which she sung for her 'statement song' that week. (translated into English, original language: Filipino).

STATUS: Get Here

You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedcote
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had the way
Surely you`d be closer
I need you closer

You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you`d better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

I don`t care, I don`t care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now right by my side yeah
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

Love+life.

Life has always been complicated.
It has always been unfair.
It was never easy.
Life always gets you.
It does suck.

Love was never enough.
Though it should be.
But it isn't now.
Will time come that love surpasses all?
Time and space would wonder.

Love+life.

STATUS: Climax

Going nowhere fast. We’ve reached the climax.
Were together now we’re undone.
Won’t commit so we choose to run away.
Do we separate?
Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up.
Can’t take it back. It’s too late.
We’ve reached the climax, climax.

I've fallen somehow, feet off the ground.
Love is the cloud that keeps raining down.
Where are you now, when I need you around?
I'm on my knees but it seems we're...

Going nowhere fast. We’ve reached the climax.
Were together now we’re undone.
Won’t commit so we choose to run away.
Do we separate?
Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up.
Can’t take it back. It’s too late.
We’ve reached the climax, climax.

I gave my best, it wasn't enough.
You get upset, we argue too much.
We made a mess of what used to be love.
So why do I care, I care at all, at all, at all, at all...

Going nowhere fast. We’ve reached the climax.
Were together now we’re undone.
Won’t commit so we choose to run away.
Do we separate?
Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up.
Can’t take it back. It’s too late.
We’ve reached the climax, climax.

You say it’s better if we love each other separately.
I just need you one more time.
I can’t get what we had off my mind.
Where are you now, when I need you around?
I'm on my knees but it seems we're...

Going nowhere fast. We’ve reached the climax.
Were together now we’re undone.
Won’t commit so we choose to run away.
Do we separate?
Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up.
Can’t take it back. It’s too late.
We’ve reached the climax, climax.
