Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

The way I am

In our world today, you’ll never survive if you don’t compete. BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IT!

Many people struggle. They compete with others to the best they can. They push themselves to their limit just to be at the top. But they only get the rank they deserve. But what if there’s a lot like you who desire the same thing? And you see that the path through it is very tight. Would you still play the game? Or would you rather stay behind?

I choose staying behind. And it don’t matter to me. I will sacrifice my desire. I will let you grab your chance to have what you want. Because I want you to be happy. Though I know you won’t. Because the moment you have what you desire, you’ll start dreaming higher and won’t stop. I’d rather not take the chance and let it come to me voluntarily. “Come what may…”

If others can, let them. Benefit from them and make life easy. As long as you are happy. Because if you pushed yourself to your limit, but still did not get the happy life you want, you might just end up being frustrated, disappointed at yourself. All of us should get what is deserved. Even if you desire something, but you do not deserve it, nothing will happen to your life. Again, make life easy and be happy.

It brings me down

If there’s one thing that shakes my heart out,
it’s when the wrong things I’ve done are being talked about,
by others who pretend they’re trying to help me out,
while in fact they never know it breaks my heart out.

It’s more than being stabbed at the back.
The pain it brings is twice as painful as being dumped.
It brings me down, you know what I mean.
And don’t you worry I’ll stay where I am.

The good things I know, I actually want to share to you.
But I think you won’t listen cause you think you’re better than I do.
And if you don’t mind, let me tell you.
Am better than you in many things, it’s just I still in believe you.

I hope you believe in me too.
And yo, you’re only good at this thing. And NOTHING more.

This battlefield is limited, and it favors you.
I’ve been trying hard to fight, but I guess I won’t win over you.
You have the eyes and ears of the upper gods.
And I have nothing, not even a single gut.

Nurture Spa Tagaytay - a wonderful first impression

Finally! After the long wait, we are now enjoying our long-overdue vacation. Aldrin gave me Nurture Spa GCs for Christmas last year and now we are here. I am actually at the dining area and it is fabulous! The salad and the Nurture Spa signature Asian dressing are such a delight, even Aldrin was not able to resist the sesame oil’s aroma.

So far, I am enjoying it, we were greeted by friendly and courteous staff. The place is very serene, very relaxing. Oops, our main course is about to be served. Will give more updates later. :)
