27: Time after Time

Friday, October 23, 2009

I just love this Song. " Time After Time" by Cindy lauper. Few artists already revived this song. The version that I like most is by INOJ, but I guess, my most favorite would be the original version by Cindy Lauper. Nothing beats the original! I first heard this song in the movie, "Romy and Michele High School Reunion. They dance to this song in there reunion scene. It was so funny. At first, I didn't really get to understand the meaning of the song..(I was too young back then) but I fell in love with the melody and the beat of the song. Since that day, I would always love to hear and sing along with it.

Here's a video of the dance in Romy and Michele High School Reunion featuring "Time After Time"







"If you're lost, you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time"

*Here's a video clip of my favorite scene from the movie fame.
Love Asher Book!! This scene is so perfect. A guy playing the piano, and singing for the girl that he loves. So sweet.. I wish that someone would be brave enough to do the same for me :)





"If i walk would you run
If i stop would you come
If i say you're the one would you believe me"

23: Sleepy Monday

Monday...


I'm sleepy the whole day. I didn't get to sleep 8 hours the night before. I don't know why.
I fell asleep past 2 am Monday morning. I've been watching MYX till 1 am.
I can't sleep..maybe somebody's thinking of me that why I can't sleep..(assuming!)
Or I'm having a insomia. I don't know and I don't really care if I have one. =)
Today..I have tons and tons of work load. And I still need to continue it till tomorrow.
TODAY is not a bad day or a super happy day.
It's just the same day that I need to stay at the office for 8 hours.
It's a boring day...or should I say, I'm having a boring time of my life.
But I used to it and I don't have any choice but to live with it.



22: On my own - Les Miserables

*I like this song. I heard it from Katie Holmes in Dawson's Creek season 1.
This song is just so sad..I could relate to the song :(


On my Own

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm lonely
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...

(sniffle)

21:LOVE LOVE Love

Saturday, October 17, 2009

Dear Boyfriend,

Oh Hi..what's keeping you so long..I'm pretty much tired of waiting..but I think I could still handle few more months or years?...

I hope you could find me..I'm just here :)

20: Love sick :(

"And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing...
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?"

Yeah..I'm pretty much tired of listening to some silly love songs that would make me feel miserable. Listening to love songs makes me feel ALONE. Alone in a sense that I'm not with someone, I'm not dating anyone, and I'm single for the longest time.I'm not complaining or
anything. I'm tired of seeing people holding hands while walking and I'm just walking alone. I'm tired of eating alone at the mall. I just want to know that there's someone who's gonna make my day complete. Someone who would make me smile even though I'm having a worst day. Someone who would appreciate me.

"Been running from this feeling for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need it
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie"

I'm tired pretending that I'm okay and everything is completely fine. I just want to feel normal. Normal as in feeling happy and being in pain. I know that falling in love is happiness and pain but I think I could handle that. I know that in God's time, there's someone out there really meant for me. Just wait..wait and wait..There's no need to rush. (I'm just comforting myself..haha)


>>P.S. I'm emo right now..blame it on Asher Book. I'm listening to his song "Try". and I come up writing this blog..

"still I believe..I'm missing something real!"

19: A total movie buff

This are the movies that I've watch this week :)



The Haunting in Connecticut
*Watch this movie with Migz during Lunchtime at the Office last Wednesday. I'm thankful that I didn't watch it alone. hehe
The Haunting in Connecticut is a true story. A creepy movie that gives me chills.


Diary of the Dead
* A movie about zombies. I don't really appreciate this one coz it's not that creppy.
I think it's a boring horror film.


Slumdog Millionaire
*Jai Ho!! A great movie..love this one.. It talks about life, poverty, love and a game show.
I like the opening scene where a question is raised.

Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it?
• A: He cheated • B: He's lucky
• C: He's a genius • D: It is written

D. It is written is the right answer. It's destiny. Jai Ho!


Fame
*Watch this movie with my girlfriends. Love Asher Book..so cute!

17: A letter to a young lady

Friday, October 2, 2009

Dear me,

Hi..I know that life isn't that fair. I know that you're going through something and you can't share it to other people. Your always like that, pretending to be happy even though you don't. You keep on smiling even though your heart is breaking. I haven't really see you get angry with other people. You always say your okay, nothing's wrong. I really hate it when you do that. I want you to be somebody who's bitchy enough to express what you really feel. You're always the crying shoulder of somebody, but did you ever realize that when you're crying no one lends a shoulder that you could cry on. Stop pretending that life is really okay, coz it's not. I know you're in pain but who's not?..We are all in pain as Dr.House would say. I just want you to realize that Life = happiness + sorrow. You can't be too happy nor say.

Many things had happened in your life. You go every trials in your life by yourself without seeking the help of other. You always think of the welfare of other people but for once, can't you think of yourself first. You always think that life would be better if you would help. I know that helping is fine but can't you think of yourself first. I know that I'm being selfish by saying things like this. But I want to wake you up and change the way you are. I really don't want you to change everything but I hope you change for the better. I'm always at your back. Remember that things would only be complicated if you let it be complicated. Life is a matter of choice. It's a choice to be happy and sad. But I want you to choose to be happy. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.

I know you want to do something that would change your life forever. You want to make a difference. You want to feel worth it. I know someday you'll be somebody who's good enough to make a change.

Always remember that I'll be here for you.

Love,
me

16: I'm Pissed Of

I woke up early around 7 am and hoping that my day would be fined. But unfortunately things not go on my way early this morning. I was expecting to do productive things today but it was cancelled.

I'm pissed of.

* just don't try to understand me*

15: I hate it when it rains

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Thursday na! Bored na ako. Isang week akong walang pasok dahil sa Bagyong Ondoy. Ang daming bagay ang sinira ng bagyong yon. Una, madaming bahay ang lumubog sa iba't ibang lugar. Pangalawa, madaming materyal na bagay ang nasira. At ikatlo, maraming buhay ang nawakasan. Nakakalungkot isipin na sa isang araw lang maraming buhay ang mawawala. Ako??naapektuhan din naman kami pero thankful pa rin ako na hindi ganun kalala kagaya sa ibang lugar. Bumaha din naman sa bahay namen pero hanggang first step lang ng hagdan namen pero sa labas ng bahay ay may instant river na. Pero nung napanood ko na ang mga balita, mas naging thankful ako na ganun lang ang naranasan namen ndi gaya sa ibang lugar. Maraming tao ngayon ang walang matitirhan, walang pagkain, walang damit. Pano pa kaya sila babangon pagkatapos ng dagok na tumama sa kanila. Ako..ala akong magawa. Gusto kong magvolunteer para makatulong sa ibang tao. Bukas magVovolunteer ako sa school para magrepack ng mga pagkain na ibibigay sa mga nasalanta.

Dati, I really love it when it rains. Dahil pag malakas ang ulan, alang pasok, masarap matulog. Pero ngayon, ayoko na. Natatakot na ako. May super bagyo pa naman dito sa bansa, kakapasok lang. Kanina umulan na ng malakas. Natakot na ako, kasi feeling ko babaha nanaman. Ndi pa nga lubusang nawawala ang baha sa ibang lugar tas uulan nanaman.

Sana maging maayos ang lahat. Sana maibalik ulit ang mga bagay na nawala. Sana madami pa ang taong tumutulong sa nangangailangan. Sana wag mawalan ng pag-asa ang mga taong naapektuhan. Just keep the faith, and everythings gonna be alright.

Dahil sa nangyaring ito, madami akong bagay na narealize, na ndi kailangan maging luxurious sa buhay, ok lang na simple.

14: Yano


Do you still remember the band "Yano". I grew up listening to their songs because my brother love this band so much during the 90's. I also appreciate their songs at the early age. Yano are well known for songs that has social and political views.

Yano's songs that I love:

State U

Parami na nang parami

De kotseng estudyante
Sa state university

State university

Walang efficiency
Mga government employee
Sa state university

State university

Antique na laboratory
Bulok na facility
Sa state university

State university

Administration policy
Itaas ang tuition fee
Pati na rin ang dorm fee
Bakit? Walang nagra-rally

Kahit may demolition
Private corporation
Barat na allocation
Sa education

Commercialization
Colonialization
Privatitation
Kawawang oblation

Sa state university
Sa state university

State university

State U! Hate you!

State university

* Dong Abay, vocalist of the band, enabled him to write this song because of the experiences as a student in UP and his dismay in the school.*

Kamusta na?

Kumusta na, ayos pa ba
Ang buhay natin, kaya pa ba
Eh kung hinde, paano na
Ewan mo ba, bahala na?

Napanood kita sa tv, sumama ka sa rali
Kasama ang mga madre, pinigilan mga tangke
Umiiyak ka pa sa harap ng mga sundalo
Namigay ka pa ng rosas na nabili mo sa kanto

Dala-dala mo pa, estatwa ni Sto. Nino
Eskapularyo’t Bibliya, sangkatutak na rosaryo
At sa gitna ng EDSA, lumuhod ka’t nagdasal pa
Our Father, Hail Mary from thy bounty thru Christ our Lord amen

Pebrero, bente-sais nang si Apo ay umalis
Ngiti mo’y hanggang tenga sa kakatalon, napunit a’ng pantalon mo
Pero hindi bale, sabi mo, marami naman kame
Kahit na amoy pawis, tuloy pa rin ang disco sa kalye

Nakita kita kahapon, may hila-hilang kariton
Huminto sa may Robinson, tumanga buong maghapon
Sikat ka noon sa tibi kase kasama ka doon sa rali
Pero ngayo’y nag-iisa, naglalakad sa may EDSA

Ewan mo ba, bahala na
Bahala na, bahala na

* This song discusses the condition of the Filipino people after the 1986 EDSA Revolution*

Banal na Aso, Santong Kabayo

Kaharap ko sa dyip ang isang ale
Nagrorosaryo mata niya’y nakapikit
Pumara sa may kumbento
Sa babaan lang po sabi ng tsuper kase me naghuhuli
Mura pa rin nang mura ang ale

Banal na aso, santong kabayo
Natatawa ako hihihihi
Banal na aso, santong kabayo
Natatawa ako hihihihi
Sa ‘yo

Nangangaral sa kalye ang isang lalake
Hiningan ng pera ng batang pulubi
Pasensya na para daw sa templo
Pangkain lang po sabi ng paslit
Talagang di ba pupwede?
Lumipat ng pwesto ang lalake

Anuman ang iyong ginagawa sa iyong kapatid
Ay siya ring ginagawa mo sa akin

*This song censure religious hypocrites*

Conio ka Pre

Ola! Conyito y conyita

Paano magmura ang conyong ilokana?
(ukinamshet)
Paano magdasal ang conyong relihiyosa?
(lord give us naman some bread)

How could you be so

What happened to my stuffed toy
It’s important pa naman, you make destroy
Ikaw ha you naughty boy
I’ll donate you to manong boy

How could you be so

Paano magrecite ang conyong kolehiyala?
(ma’am, dunno the answer)
Paano magspeech ang conyong congresista?
(alam nyo, u know?)

How could you be so

Hey guys come on! lakwatsa naman
Tomorrow pa our exams
Take it easy wag ka ng magcram
Watch a movie and go shopping na lang

How could you be so

* This song, talks about the lingo of Philippine's elite, the "Conios"*
