SYDNEY, Australia -- A bomb attack wounded 27 people Monday in a Thai tourist town where people had gathered to celebrate the New Year, officials said.

Muslim insurgents were suspected in the attack in Sungai Kolok on the border with Malaysia, where two blasts went off inside a hotel discotheque and one in the basket of a motorcycle outside a hotel, army spokesman Col. Akara Thiprote said.

A blaze in fireworks stalls injured two people in the Philippines but celebrations elsewhere went off without incident. A million revelers cheered in Australia as fireworks sprayed from Sydney's iconic Harbor Bridge in a massive display ignited at the stroke of midnight.

Thousands in Sydney staked out harborside vantage points with beach umbrellas and ice boxes from first light Monday to enjoy Australia's annual centerpiece celebration.

Others joined a flotilla of 3,000 boats beneath the giant steel arch bridge for the 12-minute show, which saw $527,000 in pyrotechnics launched from barges, city roof tops and the bridge.

Try It on My Own!

Verse 1)
I'm wiser now
Im not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago
I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know
I put myself aside to do it in your way
But now i need to do it all alone

(Hook)
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel no matter what I'll keep it real
You know
Time for me to do it on my own

(Verse 2)
It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
To many lies
And if you dont know by now
I cant go back to being someone else
not anymore
I never had the chance to do things my way
So now it's time for me to take control

(Hook)
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel no matter what I'm gonna keep it real
You know
Time for me to do it on my own

(Verse 3)
Oh, I start again go back to one
I'm running things in my way
cant stop me now I've just begun
Don't even think about
It there aint no way about it
I'm taking names go down the line
Yes I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to
Finally stand alone
Stand alone

(Hook)ad libs
I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if im right or wrong
I'll live my life the way i feel no matter what I'm gonna keep it real
You know
It's time for me to do it

See I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if im right or wrong
I'll live my life the way i feel no matter what I'm gonna keep it real
You know
It's time for me to do it on my own

Ask Yourself Why You're StiLL Single???

-----Guys/Girls,

Ice breaker !!! Padala nyo sa mga friends nyo na still SINGLE and ask them what group they belong below.

Bakit Single ang Status Mo

11. Destiny Adik
Eto yung mga naghihintay kay "Destiny" na gumawa ng paraan para
pagtagpuin sila ng kanilang mga "partner in life"...
Ayannn... Kapapanood nyo ng "Serendipity" eh feeling nila ang nangyari sa
movie eh mangyayari rin sa kanila... Such a cliche...
Hindi ba nila alam na kung walang effort, destiny is useless...

10. Perfectionist/ Mapili
Yes, isang taong perpeksiyonista. .. Yung tipong dapat ganito ang magiging
kapartner ko... Pag may nakilala, nakita lang na pangit ang kuko o may
dumi lang, turn-off na agad...
O kaya ang daming ayaw. Ayaw sa mabait - boring daw, gusto ng bad
boy/pilya pero kapag pinaiyak ka, tatanungin ka bakit ang sama mo at
bakit mo nagawa yun! Adik ka ba?!
Ayaw sa cute, ayaw din naman sa panget. Meron dyan gusto ka ayaw mo
naman. Ung gusto mo eh halos magtambling ka pero deadma pa rin yang
stunts mo sa kanya!
Pasaway ka rin e! Ano ba talaga kuya?

9. Busy-busyhan
Opo, eto yung ang mundo e gumagalaw lang sa libro at ballpen kung
estudyante ka o kaya naman sa computer at files kung office staff ka.
Yung tipong aalis ng bahay ng alas 6 o alas 7 ng umaga at uuwi ng bahay
ng 6 hanggang alas 8 ng gabi [baligtad naman para sa mga nag tratrabaho
sa call center].. Sabay tulog na..
Kapag Sabado masaya na sila sa Internet (o sa Multiply), sa pagkain na
niluluto ni mama at sa Linggo naman sisimba at maghahanda na ng kelangan
para sa lunes hanggang byernes..
Pssssst.. Pause for awhile..

8. Friendship Theory
Ano naman ito? Eto yung ang buhay ay kay bestfriend o kaya kay special
friend na hindi masasabi-sabi sa friendship nya sa loob ng kanilang
mahabang panahon na pagsasama dahil baka daw maapektuhan ang
pakikipagkaibigan at iwasan sya..
Yung tipong pag may kasama si friendship na iba, nagseselos na wala
naman sa lugar, pero syempre wag pahalata, kunyari happy sya for
friendship..
Aba ! Oi lakasan mo ang loob at baka mamaya forever mong pagsisihan yan
kaw rin. Minsan pa naman pareho kayong naghihintayan. . Hmmp!

7. Born-to-be-one (Autistic)
Eto yung nasa palad na ang pagiging single daw.. Walang reasons.. Basta
lang nabuhay sya sa mundo na mag-isa at feeling nya mamatay sya sa mundo
ng mag-isa..
Kesyo magmamadre o magpapari na lang.. Asa kang tatanggapin ka pa noh!

6. Happy-go-lucky
Eto yung taong walang alam kundi kasiyahan at trippings.. Kahit sino
nalang basta no strings attached.. For fun lang daw.. Walang halong
seryosohan..
Aba hoy! Yang init ng katawan mo e ikiskis mo nalang sa pader..
Makakahanap ka rin ng katapat mo!!!

5. Wrong Place
May nakaranas na ba nito? Yung pakiramdam mo nasa ibang mundo ka. Yung
ang nakakaharap mo e yung mga hindi mo gusto, yung mga hindi mo
hinahanap. Alam mo yun?
Halimbawa nasa ibang bansa ka, pero ang hinahanap mo e yung amoy ng nasa
sariling bayan mo. O kaya naman e nasa sarili mong bayan ka, nasa normal
na lipunan, pero ikaw ang abnormal at hindi mo kayang sabihin na
abnormal din ang hanap mo kung ayaw mong ibitin ka nila ng patiwarik.

4. Wrong Time
Eto yung mga tao na sinasabi na "hindi pa ako ready e, bata pa kasi ako"
o kaya naman "hindi pa ako handa sa panahong ito, wala pa ako kayang
ipagmalaki.. "
Yes meron pong ganyan.. Yung feeling nila may tamang panahon para sa
love.. Awwwwwww..
Aba kelan yun? Pag uugod ugod ka na at yung time mo e bitin na? O baka
naman pag pang out of time ka na? Oist, sugod lang ng sugod..

3. Si parents kasi!
Yes, factor din ang komunidad na ginagalawan mo..
Una, ayaw pa ni mader o pader na magkaron ka kahit 22 anyos ka na at
kelangan umabot ka muna raw ng 40 bago magkaroon ng gf/bf..
O kaya naman ikaw mismo! Takot sa sasabihin ni parents at ni kapitbahay
na tsismosa sa magiging kasama mo.. Aba ikaw ba naman ang sabihan na
"Alam mo hindi kayo bagay.. Langit at lupa kayo.." Awwwww..
Payo ko sayo, Pakialam nila diba? Palibhasa inggit!

2. Traumatic Experience
Eto kalimitan ang reason ng marami. Ayaw ko na! Takot na ako mangyari pa
ang nangyari dati!
O diba ang drama ng layp? Yes, tama ka.. Eto yung dahil sa past
relationship mo, e until na ayaw mo ng magkaroon at sinumpa mo na ata
ang magmahal.. Dahil sa pinagpalit ka sa mas pangit, o kaya naman iniwan
ka ng walang word na bye-bye, o dahil binugbog ka! Ano pa ba? Madami
yan. wag na nating isa isahin at baka tumulo si tears.. Heheh!
Gayunpaman, eto lang masasabi ko mga hija at hijo.. Iba't-iba ang lasa
ng pag-ibig.. May mapait, may mapakla, may matamis at may maasim.. Aba
mapalad ka at natikman mo ang iba't-ibang lasa nito..
Kaya ikaw, do not be afraid to fall in love again.. Malay mo sweetiness
na ang malasahin mo next time.. E di panalo ka sa lotto.. Yan ang
nagpapalakas sayo, yan ang bumubuhay sayo, ang pag-ibig.. Tsk! Drama!

1. EX to the nth power
Oi aminin!!! LOVE parin si ex kahit 1 or 2 yrs na ang nakakalipas. .
May ganito naman.. Yung tipong ilang taon ang nakakalipas, hindi parin
makalimutan si ex.. Yung pinagsamahan, yung tawanan, yung iyakan, at
lahat ng nangyari sa inyo nung kayo pa.. Malungkot man at sa kung
anumang kadahilanan, maganda man o masama ito, kelangan nyong magpaalam
sa isa't isa..
YES, after a year sasabihin natin, im over him/her na, pero pag-usapan
natin ang love at ang nangyari sa ating relastionship from the past,
TADANNNNNNNNNNNNN, eto na, sya agad ang naalala mo.. At habang
nagkukwento ka, ouch may kirot, o kaya may ngiti at may bumabagabag sa
ating kalooban.. Ano kaya yun? AMININ mo na kasi MAHAL mo pa si EX..
Isa lang ang masasabi ko, well mahirap sya kalimutan, alam ko yan, pero
open your heart and makipagdate ka, lumabas ka, at try to entertain
someone.. Wag mo ikumpara si ex sa iba.. At give urself a Kitkat, take a
break..

Last Christmas...

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone......special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
[Last Christmas lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

This year, to save me from tears
I'll send it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in her heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the bery next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Merry Christmas ALL!:-*

And I will be just fine
If I know that you know
That I'm wanting, needing your love, oh woh woh woh.


If I ask of you, is it alright
If I ask you to hold me tight
Through a cold, dark night?
'Cause there maybe a cloudy day in sight,
And I need to let you know
That I might be needing your love, oh woh woh woh.


Refrain

And what I'm tryin' to say isn't really new;
It's just the things that happen to me
When I'm reminded of you


Like when I hear your name,
Or see a place that you've been,
Or pass a house that you've been in one time or another;
It sets off something in me I can't explain,
And I can't wait to see you again,
Oh babe, I love your love, oh woh woh woh.
