Had It Shuffled

I can't concentrate on what I've been reading and I suppose that it's a better idea not to force myself. 


I just wanna stay in my comfort zone and the place to be is just here... I am glad that I don't have to dress up to go here. Yes, the homebody in me strikes again. Others call it introverted. I wonder if that has positive or negative connotation. Never mind. And if I don't mind it doesn't matter. 


I've been sharing stuff about friends, food, place, movies and other simple joys, but music.  So why not today... After putting my phone player on shuffle, I listed the following songs. I want to share them to you. So here...


1. Shakespeare In Love by Lay la Kaylif - I really love how this song makes me feel. And yes, it is an OST... Oopps! Just got back. I listened to it again. Oh! This is just oh so romantic. Hayyy!

He's fought and he's fallen

He's on his knees before he's on his feet

A glittery romantic

Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see

His bounty's boundless like the sea

His love is endless, just as deep

The more he gives the more he has

`Cause both of them are truly infinite

CHORUS:

She'll take him to the brink of deliverance

Show him that much

Oh, don't you know it

Oh, don't you know it

So he falls in love to feel that he's falling

She'll let him know his heart

Oh, don't you know it

Oh, don't you know it

That's Shakespeare in love

2. Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler 

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad

Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks

Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you

Kiss you

Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you

Feed you

Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink

Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink

I could be the man who grows old with you

I wanna grow old with you

Funny, but so sweet, right? Do you remember the reaction of Drew when she heard the song? Oh! This just reminds me of my boyfie. He may not be the perfect guy (Nobody is, anyway!), but he is perfect enough for me. If I tell him the title, it will mean engagement. Wahhh! Next please...

3. Low by Flo Rida - C'mon not that one! hahaha. Nobody can look at me the same way after he/she sees me dancing to the beat of this one. This song makes me wanna watch Step Up movies again. Unfortunately, I don't have time for movie marathon this Christmas season. This fact though is not so motivating, so next!

4. That's the Way It Is by Celine Dion - This is an old song already. Despite that fact, I never get tired of listening to this one. For me, this is oh so inspiring. 

When you want it the most there's no easy way out

When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt

Don't give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that's the way it is 

5. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) by Beyonce Knowles - hahaha! Nope. I'm not gonna dance with this one. hahaha. This reminds me of GMA male artists dancing. hahaha 

6. No Air (Piano Acoustic) - I enjoy this as much as I enjoy the original by Jordin. The song is soulful, but I don't like to promote the lyrics of the song. Why? Gugelit. Now, I am promoting the song. hahaha (An exmple of irony)

7. I'm Yours by Jason Mraz - This used to be everyone's favorite. Who will not love this song? 

I won’t hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I’m sure

No need to complicate

Our time is short

It can not wait, I’m yours

8. Love on the Internet by Rex Hermogino. Oh! I think this will be my last in this list. I want you to remember this one. I am sure you will love this. This song won in a Yahoo contest. I thought I lost a copy of this one when I accidentally deleted my music files. It's good that I was able to save this in my Esnips account. Anyway, I can't find the lyrics so just check out the video using the link here. 

Watch him!

NU in Past Tense Or Not?

NU 107 in Ortigas

It’s mid of November. As I post some new entries after I took some photos outside the NU 107 Residence in Ortigas, I wonder if I still need to write an entry about NU which is now in past tense. I guess I owe this to many fans, if not all listeners, of NU. I said this because NU should still be on if all the fans were listening.

My boyfie, himself, is guilty of that. I suppose he is not the only one. When he sent a message to his former bandmate to relay the oh so bad news, the latter was shocked. He said how come they didn’t know! Obviously, they were listening no more when NU needed them. Somehow, they should be blamed but I couldn’t because I know they are lamenting! How do I know? They say they grew up with NU!!!

Candle vigil for NU

I am not really a fan, but I have been keeping a sticker of NU! It’s in my hometown so I couldn’t take a picture of it for this post. It’s like a treasure. Though I am not an avid listener, I couldn’t say nobody in our house tuned in… My brother did and so I was too for quite some time… All I know is NU Rock is/was ASTIG! (Present or past tense? Still in dilemma.)

I heard that NU lived for more than 20 years, 23 if I am not mistaken. That was like… since I became aware of rock music. By the way, The Dawn is my favorite band now and forever!

Up to this moment, I am waiting for a twit stating NU is back!

I double-checked, NONE! So this is it.

I can still recall the melancholic feeling of the silent crowd outside the NU station during the last night of NU. They knew that it was the end they feared, yet they stayed just to express how they were feeling. That, I could not stand so we had to leave early.

Body language speaks

Somehow, I hope that NU will resurrect in different form. It may be soon, and maybe not. Anyway, as long as we keep the spirit of rock alive, NU is just around the corner!

NU 107 Rocks Forever!

A Moment of Joy

The Kids from Children's Joy Foundation

Just when I thought that the Pacquiao vs. Margarito bout was the climactic event of November 14, I heard irresistible music being played at the activity area of Alimall in Cubao. Since my boyfie and I came from the Food Court @ the 3rd Floor , we took a look from the upper Level. There were like 4 or 5 persons only in the audience seats provided and it seemed that there were no other performers except the group playing on stage. I was fascinated not only because they were playing upbeat Christmas carols but also because I saw one playing violin. That is one thing I would rather watch than learn. Those were enough reasons for me to get my camera and take a picture. They made me smile so they deserve it.

I am oh so thrilled!

However, my boyfie and I ended up as fans. We seated and finished the program. It wasn't boring and there was no emcee. Music all throughout! Long playing. They sang and danced too. I wonder why those kids didn't get tired... I was like a child seeing Jollibee, Ronald McDonald, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in one event. Happey! Happey! Happey!

They also played the latest hits like Billionaire and Bieber's songs. I really had oh so much fun. Seeing them enjoying was contagious. Their music was addictive. My plan was to buy my textbooks, but I set that aside for these kids. I wanna share one video.

Having no source of income for quite some time now, I didn't bother to give something for them. I know it wasn't enough so I thought of featuring them here. If before I don't care if I'm the only one who reads this blog, now I am wishing to reach more people. I know many are willing to help. They just don't know how.

This is not a scam! (I think so.)

Just like what I've mentioned I became an instant fan so I took the opportunity of going to backstage to see them up-close.

One of the best ways to have fun is to spend it with CHILDREN!

What a lifeylicious day!
