Minus the Virtual World for a Week

“Mercy Mercy Me”




It has been a week when I isolated myself from the virtual world and all I can say is that its worth the chance to live like how I dealt with the day. One week and all I did was bore myself with DVD marathon and music tripping.



I am on my “nth” time watching those Disney Classic fairy-tales-turned-movies. Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel (of which was changed to “Tangled”), Anastacia, Sleeping beauty (Aurora, now I can’t forget Sleeping Beauty’s name), The Little Mermaid and some Pixar and Dreamworks cartoon themed movies.



Gees! I can almost memorize the episodes of Glee Season 1 and memorize the lines on “Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks starrer “You’ve Got Mail”. That’s how bored I was when I decided to put the virtual world out of my senses first.



Well, aside from watching movies on DVD and listening to music, I indulged myself on picking up some good read on my shelf. The Little Princess is the book that I am currently reading. Was about to start again Tuesdays with Morrie but I don’t want teary eyed after I read the book. Though I might have already read it but I can’t help myself to grab it still in the future. In the meantime, I am allowing my hands to grab the Princess Sara book.



Just this day, I started to coddle myself with the virtual world thus blogging is what I first think of. No use co’z my fingers typed www.facebook.com first. Gees! Silly fingers!



Anyways, another month will soon pass and we are on the Love month in the next 1 day. Pretty thinking of what to do though. I don’t have any idea yet on how I would spend that special day.

You Are The Reason - Ketama

 I remembered this song and I happen to sing it in the office which my colleague Chona notice and liked the song though thus we played it in youtube and  I would just like to share this song. Its the message of the song that counts.





How can I forget
the longings of my heart
It's you I think of
night and day

I know I couldn't touch you
I know I couldn't hold you
though I wish I'm really close
to stare for you

You are the reason
the seasons of my life
You're everything I wish
and live for

Give me an answer
Show me the way
You're breakin me
Leaving me in pain/vain?

You're the burning flame
In my heart and in my mind
In the silence of the night
I can hear you

My thoughts are all about you
Alive and True to me
But now I really have you
Only in dreams

You are the reason
the seasons of my life
You're everything I wish
and lived for

Give me an answer
Show me the way
You're breakin me
Leaving me in pain

Loving You changes everything
It's giving me the strenght
And It's all because of you..

You're the burning flame
In my heart and in my mind
In the silence of the night
I can hear you

I know I couldn't touch you
I know I couldn't hold you
though I wish I'm really close
To stare for you

[chorus]

Reminiscing 911: The Day We Found Love



Mushy Love songs of the 90s will always be good to lsiten to.

Reminiscing Dawn Dineros: Changing and Giving Ways




Changing And Giving Ways
-=Dawn Dineros=-

Words simple as maybe
Yet honest passionate feelings can only come
From deep within a loving heart
And caring heart
Almost a decade, how long has it been

REFRAIN
But time has failed to fade
Our love, the undying love
As it grows, fonder and stronger
I'm recollecting, awaking
Memories of the past

CHORUS
Could I ever forget
Electrifying loving times
Shared in golden silence that only
Our hearts come throbbing and
As life slowly pass us by
While those childlike carefree youth
Are only bygones and love's greatness
Changing and giving ways

CODA
Changing and giving ways
Changing and giving ways
Ohh... ohh

When loving you from afar
How my heart desires your warm embrace
Burning kisses from your playful lips
Deep inside of me
All sweetness and tenderness
(repeat refrain)
(repeat chorus 2x)

CODA
Changing and giving ways
Changing and giving ways
Ohh... ohh
Lai lai lai
Changing and giving ways

Reminiscing Code Red: What Good is a Heart?

My taste of music is always changing every now adn then. I call myself a musically inclined person since i started singing and listening to songs around the elementary years. Geez.. That was too long ago and I can't even remember what was my fave song by then co'z I was to inclined with OPM (Original Philippine Music) such as those songs of Sheryl Cruz, Timmy Cruz, Tina Paner, Smokey Mountain, Janet Arnaiz etc. Few of you might have not heard of their songs yet but I could say that sometimes during that era, it was so good to my ears.

Anyways, its about Code Red though that I want to reminisce this time. I jsut so happen to browse http://www.youtube.com/ and found this one fave song from them, "What Good is a Heart" and I just want to share this reminisicing to everybody.



Gees. I remember me and my friends dancing along with the steps in the video. That was wayback high school then.

haven't heard of Code Red now. The last time I heard about them is that they both ahve their lives to live.

Ne-yo's "In The Way; or humming those old hopeless romantic songs

For the last couple of days, my eardrums were stuck listening with this song from Ne-yo (In the way). This was actually a part of his "Year of the Gentleman" album, released on September 2008, in which was a bonus track along with So Sick, Because of You and Sexy Love (the 3 mentioned have made its way to the music biz).

It is always important to me that the first notes or the opening tune of the song would capture my ears co'z that is the time that i need listen deeply to the song. After that, needless of who sang it, if the over-all melody is good that would be a worth listening to me. And lastly, i need to know what is the message of the song. 

Sometimes I call myself a hopeless romantic who falls for songs that has brokenhearted themes. And most of the times, my playlist are more about longing, hoping and dreaming such that I sometimes consider myself a loner. 

Here is the lyrics of the song: 

Ne-Yo - In The Way
Thought I get to see your face again
But my flight got cancelled wouldnt stop raining
So two days three flights later I touchdown
But there was trouble with you family and now your outta town
And I don't like it no this aint cool
Feelin like theres something just dont want me near you

The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just wont let me
Cuz it keeps getting in the way

Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

And now were in the same state
But I be in the studio workin extra late (5 in the morning)
And finally I get to leave (im comin home to you)
But by the time I get there your already fast asleep
And I don't like it no this aint cool
Feelin like theres something just dont want me near you

The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just wont let me
Cuz it keeps getting in the way

Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

And I don't like it no this aint cool
Feelin like theres something just dont want me near you
Baby The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just wont let me
Said it keeps getting in the way

Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way




Its up to you if you found the lyrics of the song sounds good but I started having this on my playlist since I started listening to this song.

Kahit Di Mo Pansin

 Marami man ang nagsabing baduy ang kantang to pero dati pa TAGOS na TAGOS sa puso ko to. Ewan, nakakarelate ako sa song na to. Kasi di ba pag nagmahal ka, minsan ikaw lang ang nagmamahal pero yung mahal mo amy iabng mahal tapos magpapakamartyr ka na lang dahil lagi mong iniisip kaligayahan mo. Kahit umabot na sa puntong ipilit mo ang sarili sa katotohanang hindi pwedeng mangyari, at kahit super sakit na ang lahat di ka pa rin sumusuko. Manhid na manhid na ang puso mo sa salitang "maghanap ka na lang ng iba"/

Aminin na nating lahat tayo dumaan sa stage na to pero wala pa akong nakitang pursigido na nabiyayaan talaga. Kasi mahirap isiping ikaw lang ang nagmahal at sa balang araw biglang mahuhulog din ang loob sa yo ng taong gusto mo. Ano ka, second choice lang? Ang pangit.

Laging may tanong sa isip ko
Kung ako ay bagay ba sa'yo
Bakit gano'n lagi kang ala-ala ko

Nalalaman ko na di ako

Ang tinitibok ng puso mo
Ngunit umaasa na mapapansin mo

Kahit di mo pansin maghihintay sa'yo

Kahit mayr'ong iba ngayon sa puso mo
Laging naririto ako at patuloy na magmamahal
Ganyan ang damdamin para sa'yo

Di mo man kita sa kilos ko

Pagtingin na para lang sa'yo
Kailan mo ba madarama sa puso mo

Alam kong siya'y higit sa tulad ko

Kaya't sa kanya ang damdamin mo
Ngunit bakit ikaw ang laging hanap ko

Kahit di mo pansin maghihintay sa'yo

Kahit mayr'ong iba ngayon sa puso mo
Laging naririto ako at patuloy na magmamahal
Ganyan ang damdamin para sa'yo

Sana'y malaman mo

Walang iba na iibigin ang puso kong ito

Kahit di mo pansin maghihintay sa'yo

Kahit mayr'ong iba ngayon sa puso mo
Laging naririto ako at patuloy na magmamahal
Ganyan ang damdamin para sa'yo

Laging naririto ako at patuloy na magmamahal

Ganyan ang damdamin para sa'yo...


Hay naku. Kung pipiliin mong magpakamartyr, sana isipin mo muna ang bukas. Hindi lahat ng gusto natin sa mundong ito ay nakukuha natin kahit pa pagluksaan natin ito ng maraming gabi o pag isipan ng maraming taon. ANg pag-ibig kasi, sa katotohan, ay SELFISH.

If Loving you with all my heart is a crime, THEN IM GUILTY!

I never wanted to feel this way. I never asked God to give you to me. All i know is that it just happened so sudden thus this sudden feeling is true. And im guilty to say that im in love with you.


I followed my heart, followed my dream and it lead me to you.

Juris occupied a man's thoughts

Its weird but cool. Im bound to boredom when i decided to get myself some fag in the neighboring store. When i passed by this 2 guys, whom i dont know, one was humming a song without a lyrics and it puzzled me coz i know in me that i have the idea of what was he humming.

its 6:30 in the morning. Black out due to power supply was cut in one electricity pole nearby our area. and i heard it would be back by the afternoon.

I got a fag and sipped some on my way back to my pad and i passed by this 2 guys again. now the humming was gone but the guy had sung the song already with the lyrics. I know it. Its Juris' "Di Lang Ikaw" song and it brought a smile inside me.

How will i not? this guys is singing a girl song in a girl tone with a big body. Weird but cool.

I started to sing along with this song in my mind and was never erased until i decided to post a blog for it. so her goes the song.

oh oh oh!

Another boring rest day so i decided to download songs and tried to browse more artist. Well, i stopped on a website that caters OPM (Original Pilipino Music) artist and songs, www.tristancafe.com/music. AS i browsed and scanned the subjects and info in each page, Sharon Cuneta's name appear on my thoughts thus trying to look for a song way back that reminds me of my Ate and her friends. SHe likes this song and she influenced me to like this song despite of the bitterness inside the song. UNtil now this will always be one good song that i could listen to and some other Sharon's song.
 
Mahal Kita, Mahal Mo Siya, Mahal Niya ay Iba
Sharon Cuneta

Sa iyo'y umibig ang tapat kong puso
Ngunit ang mahal mo ay kaibigan ko

Ang aking kaibigan may ibang pag-ibig
Ang minamahal niya ay hindi ikaw

[Chorus]
Mahal kita, mahal mo siya, mahal niya ay iba
Mas mapalad ka mahal kita
Sa 'kin walang nagmamahal

Kay gulo ng buhay di maunawaan
Sa pagmamahalan lagi nang may hadlang

(Repeat Chorus)

Kay gulo ng buhay di maunawaan
Sa pagmamahalan lagi nang may hadlang

(Repeat Chorus 3x fade)

If you happen to say that you are not familiar with the song, well maybe there really is an age gap between me and you. I mean, i am more older than you and i have heard this song i guess when i was still on my elementary year.

Just trying to dig the OPM songs i have listened around 1988 to 1994.. See?

The Eminem Show

I am in the office and left with nothing to do but watch my pc monitors for some changes with the staffing and the queue (the usual task we do everyday at work). To kill boredom, i sneak some internet browsers and have it minimize for perfect viewing without IT knowing that we are opening sites out of our work range. and here goes slacking 101 lesson 1: the headset technique.

I usually open youtube.com and pick up songs that i could watch and listen to while boredom is trying to occupy my life. On this day, i picked Eminem songs and stopped on this video called "When I'm gone". This is not the first time i watched this video but i was able to see the message clearly just this day.

Eminem was known for explicit words on his songs but thats his way. ON this song and video that i have watched, i don't know why some tears are starting to pop out from my eyes.



Its the part when his child tried to stopped him on leaving that day. And its the part wherein confrontation between him and his daughter was shown during his performance. Those were the aprts where i was able to see pain thus explains the tear about to come out from my eyes.

Its just as simple as stay with us even just for a day. Make us happy for once. Thats what Hailey's trying to reach out but Shady's fame has blinded him and have him thinking more of the outside world rather than the importance of his family.

I am not that big fan of Eminem but sometimes i understand artist like him. They have the angst of telling everybody their personal experience in a different view. Sometimes his way has proved something right for him. His words could kill an empty emotion. He may be judge for his unworthy music(as others would say) but i guess he has touch my feelings through this song.

Reminiscing KAVANA!

Do you happen to remember this guy? We have seen him during the 90s and he is still actually active until this very day in music.

He is one of those we can call heart throbs in music. His English accent is so cool. He runs his own show in UK but i don't have any idea how does it go. 

Here is a quick look back to this guy. Coz he was one of my favorites. I can't imagine my life if i was not able to sing along with his song "Will You Wait For Me" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-JmEmpZ3ts ). It always reminds me of a girl who has a place in my heart. T'was during the time when i have to leave and all i can do was to promise her to wait for me. 
Ugghh.. Feeling sad now.
Kavana
Birth name Anthony Kavanagh
Also known as Kavana
Born November 4, 1977 (1977-11-04) (age 32)
Origin Moston, Manchester, England
Genres Pop
Years active 1996–Present
Labels Virgin Records1996 - 2000
Website Official Myspace

Here are his albums: 

His first album was a self titled album "Kavana" (got a copy of it, casette tapes). I just so love some of the songs in this album and it would always have me sing along whenever i hear the song on a radio. Pop is the genre of his music and mostly his videos portrays a lot of being the boy next door type.




Here is his seconds album. Same genre and dammit i so miss singing along with the songs of this guy. 

Well you may wonder why i made a blog for him? i so happen to browse youtube.com and when i typed in the artist i want to find it showed Kavana too on the page. There and then i started reminiscing those good old 90s pop music from him. Good thing i brough my headset with me and for an hour i played some of his song available in youtube.com. 

Ugghh.. hope you could still remember him. 

To my excitement, when i got home i started downloading his songs again and will burn a cd of it and file it in my collection. Extinct and rare songs though. If you were born around 1990 to 1999 you might have heard of the songs from him but i know you can only hear it sung my new singers of these days. "Nina" made her own rendition of "Will You Wait for Me" so you might as well try to listen to her version. 

Thats all about Kavana for now.

taking you back to the 90s music

Who could ever forget the DEKADA 90s. When the decade opened on tis first year, i was still studying in my beloved Alma Mater, Obrero Elementary School (Butuan City). I was not too inclined yet with the artist but instead of the osngs i heard pleying on the radio. I remember those times when i have to buy a recordable casette tape just to record songs in the radio.. ugghhh.. pity times as i ain't got a job to support my hobby. 

The 90s music has paved my way to discover the east and the west. It was during these times when I met HIP HOP, POP, REGGAE, ALTERNATIVE etc..those kind of stuff which we call genres of music. sorry but i grew up with Eddie Peregrina, Tom Jones, Imelda Papin, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vidtor Wood, Max Surban, Yoyoy Villame, Freedie Aguilar etc. Knowing these singers you can probably say that it sounds new to me when i hear Boyz 2 Men, Madonna, and later N'sync, Britney, Boyzone and whoever has evolve during these era. 

When we say "The 90s", it is not just fashion, movies, news have made great changes during these decades but most of all MUSIC has evolved and more genres were introduced to the world. We can say that though the 80s have pass by, we can still see and hear news reagrding the 80s artist paving their way to the new generation of music. Take Madonna, Whitney Houston, Gloria Estefan, to name a few. Some solo members of the previous defunked groups have made it to the 90s as well like JOey McIntyre and Jordan Knight (former members NKOTB), Ricky Martin and Ruben Gomez (former Menudo members) they were some few solo acts who have made it inthe 90s music scene (up till now). 

Who would ever know that from the 90s emerge this girl group. Destiny's Child has received respect from the music crowd during the 90s but due to circumstances, come follwing years some of them stand on their own shoes and make it big in the music business (Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland were the two who really made it to the music scene without there girls)

Such girl group and boy groups were much appreciated and gained a lot of fans during the 90s. N'sync, 98 Desgrees, All 4 One, Az Yet, to name a few were some of those boy groups. Hanson and Moffatts were some what like rival siblings group during this period. While Divas Like Mariah Carey, Madonna, Whitney, Gloria and Celine have their own ways of producing their type of music. 

Too many things to say about the 90s music but at this point let me share this brief information first. The 90s is not only about those who have made it big till now but also for those one hit-wonder singers whom have made a lot of effrts onthe 90s but were forgotten as years passed us by. Its sad though that part of the business. 

I got to collect more pictures and info during the 90s maybe not just about music but fashion, food, big news and the likes. Till next blog.
