Probably not a lot of people knows this song, not even my closest friends or family but this is a great song. I shouldn't have known about this song if not for this person. She was the first person I approached when I planned to join the school's varsity team. We became close and I even urged her to teach me to smoke (and I failed). Before she'd graduate from UP, she made it to the Military school and four years later, she topped her class. We were even prouder. This song will always remind me of her.Just a couple of weeks...

This is the only song I know that would remind me of a person I lost in the past. For the past few nights, I've been dreaming about her, thinking about her and my vivid thoughts are sometimes just about her -Jenny, my cousin.I've lost her for seventeen (17) years now. She could have been a very pretty lady as she was before. Who knows, she might have her own family already. Too bad and too sad, this world can no longer witness that because she is gone ahead of us all.Lyrics | Taylor Dayne lyrics - Love Will Lead You Back...

This is another song by Joey Albert. This is the song for the very best sister in the world... I couldn't have made some good breaks in my life without her.Lyrics | Point Of View lyricsBack in our younger years, we have loved Joey Albert and her songs. By "we", I mean my sister and me. There are times we just hum the song or actually sing them. We shared a lot of things: we washed clothes, take a bath together (we fill up the pale with water, use the dipper then just shower ourselves with it), we...

This is a story why I have always loved my best friend...There I was in the government office I used to go to. There were a lot of things I couldn't forget in that office and one of them is when I was introduced to this song "By Heart". It was 2005. I was looking for a good song, you know me, music is my life! Then there was my cousin, who, after scolding me and giving me some pain in the head, asked me to record some songs for her. She said I should chose the songs that are good so I chose the...

I have been out for a while. First off, my paternal grandmother died. While I was reminiscing the events when my "lola" (Filipino word for grandmother) was still alive, I just can't help but remember one of the most tragic deaths that the entertainment and political world had seen. The tragic death of Princess Diana.I have always admired her, not because she had a fairytale-like wedding but because she is a woman of strength. As a self-professed feminist, Diana or Princess D is really a woman one...

This is our beach in Darigayos, Luna, La Union located North of the Philippines. Jose Mari Chan Lyrics From the very title of this song, one could do nothing but agree with its concept. As they say: "Change is the only permanent thing in this world." This song reminds me so much of my father's siblings (paternal siblings) who were just my age. When we were younger, we got the chance to spend a very long vacation with them. We went to the beach, climbed the Grotto, went fishing, diving and all. We really "moved from...

My last post was about my best friend. This current song is about my high school friends because they were the ones who welcomed me into high school life and they accompanied me there. Unfortunately, they did not stay long.I am talking about my big brother (we fondly call him "Bacon") who was in his Senior year when I was a freshman in high school. The three of us, me and my big sister and brother went to the same school although I must admit, I was closer with my brother back then. I had a classmate,...

This article is about me and my best friend and this is our song! (N.B. These are just a few recollection of the good and bad events that challenged our friendship and our being.)We have different ways of categorizing our best friends, why we chose them and what circumstances that brought us together. Ours was a product of some series of painful events. I'd like to reiterate that I am not normally an emotional person, but this is the "softest" spot of my life -those series of tragic events we, me and my cousin, shared together.In...

Hi again! It's been a while... many things happened and for some reason, I had no access to the internet. It is now October and here in the Philippines, the Spirit of Christmas is already around the corner. And when we talk about Christmas, the center of the celebration is the family. This is the reason why I remember this song.I was not familiar with this one, neither the artists who sang it until I heard it as a soundtrack in one of my favorite movies, "My Girl". Each time I hear it played, I...

Just the other week, I watched Ally McBeal in DVD format. As a law student, I am inclined to watch courtroom-oriented movies, TV series and novels. Anything that would inspire me to continue with my studies. Ally McBeal is a story about lawyers who go about lawyering and at the same time living their normal "lives and loves". That's what I love about that TV series (which unfortunately stopped airing since I-don't-know-when) and thankful that I was able to obtain a DVD copy. I am a DVD-addict, in fact. I just don't have...

Here is the story for the day:If I listened long enough to youId find a way to believe that its all trueKnowing that you lied straight-faced while I criedStill I look to find a reason to believeSomeone like you makes it hard to live withoutSomebody elseSomeone like you makes it easy to giveNever think about myselfIf I gave you time to change my mindId find a way just to leave the past behindKnowing that you lied straight-faced while I criedStill I look to find a reason to believeIf I listened long enough to youI'd find...

I have told you stories about the members of my family and this time, I will talk about the artist in our family -in our nuclear family. He is our youngest brother who was born an artist. He used to draw and paint when we weres till young. As a teenager, he joined showbusiness and did extra appearances in some national movies. This stopped only when he had to work harder for his growing family.His passion for music, as influence from mom, continued as he loved to play the guitar. With it, he started to compose his own songs...

I always loved this song and I can't forget the very first time I heard it played in the movie City of Angels. I watched that movie not just because of Nicolas Cage but also because of Meg Ryan. I just loved the movie and the idea that an angel could just be anywhere we are, watching over us. The movie was a love story and this is my story about this song.Lyrics | Angel (feat. Sarah McLachlan) lyricsI have an angel. Her name is Sophie, from her real name Sophia. I called her Sophie because it reminds me so much of her and...

This is another song whose lyrics I have kinda memorized, adn I'm proud I could still memorize some things. It is a story about a person you keep thinking about, a person stuck in your head for a very long time.Lyrics Hard Habit To Break lyricsI like this song most especially when it was revived by Jed Madela duet with Gary Valenciano (two famous artist from Manila). I just loved their singing! I've watched them perform live on different occasions and the experience was incomparable. Those were...

This is a very memorable song for me and my spiritual life.Have I told you I used to teach in college? I guess not. Well, I used to teach in college. It was one of the highlights of my life. It was my passion to teach because I wanted to contribute to the development of youth, in my own ways. I always admired teachers and I said, maybe I could be like them.I taught college students. I lectured on Ethics, Art Appreciation, Logic, Philosophy of Man and Political Science (which were my major courses...

Lyrics My Life lyricsI missed Billy Joel because I am also a big fan! I came to learn of this song when I was alone in Manila. If you happened to read my previous blog (Complicated), I am a "loner" so when I lived by myself, my routine was just work and home and vice versa. While I was alone, I felt so scared and there were a lot of lonely nights. One time I got scared when there was a house burning, in the middle of the night, on the other street. I didn't know what to do and so I just prayed. Most of the time, my music...

I am a person of deep thought. However, I do not normally keep things to myself. In fact, I am a very expressive person, no wonder I keep blogging. But I am a believer of the saying that "if you have nothing good to say, zip your mouth"I have to admit though that most of the time, this virtue really challenges me. It is too difficult to keep my mouth shut when my heart is beating so fast and I know I can beat the crap out of the person I am having an argument with... You say it best when you say...

Lyrics | Michael W. Smith - Friends are friends forever lyricsI first heard of this song back in high school, when my big brother and sister were still singing with the church choir. We went to a catholic school together, even my youngest brother Matt (but due to financial difficulties of our parents, public school was forced upon him. That time both our big brother and sister were already in college). So I guess my story about this song is my siblings. They are in fact my first friends despite the normal sibling rivalry.I...

If you see me with a microphone, in a videoke bar or in the house, definitely, this is one of the songs on queue. Lyrics | Complicated lyricsThis is a story not about anybody else but me. You see, a lot of people misunderstand me. I am indeed a quiet person and when you hear me laugh or talk too much, it just means I'm trying to socialize, which is not really like me. I used to be a loner. I'd rather be with myself because I love to think. What do I normally think about? I think about my moves,...

Lyrics | Don't Fade Away lyricsWhen it comes to our big clan, this is one of our most memorable songs. This reminds us of a very tragic event and I can't help but experience goosebumps each time I recall this part of our history.This is a story of my cousin Emil, who left his earthly being at an early age because of an accident. I can describe him as a responsible person, very far from his siblings. He had great respect for his parents and he felt all the agony that befall their family. At an early...

This is my first time to write on this blogsite and the song is a local song. I will find a way to translate it's lyrics in English. Let me begin:How can I forget December of 2005, when I was admitted to the Hospital because of acute bronchitis leading to asthma attack. I was confined for 3 days with all the oxygen and dextrose inserted to my body. My sincerest gratitude to my family because they were all there to provide me with all the things I needed.The last time I was admitted to the hospital...

It's been a while since I wrote here. I was expecting my co-author (Yes, I now have a co-author -music247- also a music addict) to post a blog but I guess, it's still on the way.I was in the City of Pines last night. It was one of the biggest gatherings I have attended in my alam mater since I graduated and there was a lot of fun. I didn't mind the trip plus the financial factor that is currently hurting me. Just the thought of going back to the one of my most favorite places, is enough to keep me going. Here is a photo...

Read the lyrics of this song: Dennis Lambert LyricsI have always admired this song, not to mentioned its lovely lyrics. This is one of those songs that will keep on buzzing my ears for hours and hours and still my heart will long to hear more of it. I want it non-stop at times.Today, while I'm in front of my computer, nursing a burned fingers from an accident spill last night, this song played. The song suddenly made me think of a person who was hurt more than what I am feeling right now because...

Lyrics | A Love Song lyricsI'm a Kenny Rogers fan as far as his songs are concerned. He has a lot of songs that I know so well. I will be writing some of them here too, on my future blogs. I knew the song first before I have discovered that this Love Song was sung my Kenny. I guess he is also the original singer, I just wonder why I did not recognize his voice when I first heard this.Because of my prodding, my friend permitted me to write this story. I am writing about a friend from my last workplace....

It's my brother's birthday today. We just came from their house and we had a little chat from the past and then I remembered this song from one of the local bands. I used to like this song, in fact, I like all of their songs in their first album. Next to my favorite band, Eraserheads, is Rivermaya. If you want to know where they got their names, you can find it elsewhere. But for sure, one thing that attracted me to Rivermaya is the word "maya". It is the national bird of my beloved country and I'm not sure if it would...

Song LyricsI have mentioned about this song in my previous blogs. This is my favorite videoke song, and my sister too. I love to sing this song because of it's very lively tone plus the chance to dance on its interlude or instrumental part. I'd rather sing it than dance to it. My sister is good in both dancing and singing so I grab the mic from her when we reach the instrumental part of this song. (That's her with our new baby in the family, Chezka.)I remembered to write about this song because I was thinking of the previous...

Thank you raimster16 for this story:Hi there! I read your blog and I wanted to share to you my story about this song by America.My experience with this song is very sad because that is when my boyfriend left me after 7 years of being together. I want to seek revenge but I cannot do it. He was so dear to me because he knows me inside and out. He knows when I want to cry and why I want to cry. I wanted to tell him that I need him, not as my boyfriend or someone intimate but someone who knows me, someone...

I used to hear my big brother say: there is a rainbow behind the clouds. I know he got it from somewhere and he was the first person that came to my mind when I heard this song. I love the rainbow and all the ideas that come with it. Ideas like "there's a pot of gold on rainbow's end" or "there's a rainbow after the rain" or "rainbows have the richest colors", and I'm reminded of Rainbow Bright. She's my favorite cartoon character when I was still a little kid. I seldom see her now, but I still have her in my heart. Well,...
