That's the Way it is - Celine Dion

He said he's willing to go anytime. Things are always the same; it became monotonous. The stories, the fight, the words, actions and almost everything were all routinary. He is giving up... This is a story of my friend who's relationship is on shaky grounds, so to speak.After over five years of being lovers, the sound of the wedding bells is still soft, worst, the guy is giving up. I don't know because it feels like I am surrounded with broken-hearted people or persons with relationship problems. Sometimes, I wonder, is...

Huwag Mo Nang Itanong - Eraserheads

Day after day of blogging, it seems that the songs written in here are Tagalog, just like this one. I want to blog about my own song diaries in tagalog because I have lots of them. Sometimes, I just brush them off for a while because it's getting too difficult translating them. Anyway, I will try to translate these songs for everyone's sake. I also love translating just to make other people appreciate our language as well as the thoughts of our local artists in writing their songs.I am blogging about this song because it...

Kanlungan - Noel Cabangon

This was a background music of McDonald's old TV commercial. It was sung by a Pilipino artist I admire, together with the rest of the artists who use their music in declaring love for the nation. I find Noel Cabangon as a nationalist artist. He was the composer of the song Tatsulok, popularized by another Pilipino artist Bamboo.I tried to translate this song in English, in the nearest possible translation I can think of. It was a challenge to translate the word "panahon" because in tagalog (or Filipino dialect) the word...

Tie A Yellow Ribbon - Rony Orlando and Dawn

There is a tremendous call for unity at least in prayers for the wellness of the Philippine's "champion of democracy" and symbol of "people power", the former President Corazon C. Aquino. The story of her battle against cancer has always been in the front page of news papers and news online especially in our country.I am blogging about this song because during Marcos era or right before the "dictator" was ousted through the people power, yellow has been the color of the country. This is the symbol of the First Lady President...

Searching my Soul - Vonda Shepard

Have you seen at least an episode of Ally McBeal or at least you have heard of her? Well, I have in my possession a DVD collection of that series. First, I'd like to say I like Ally because she is thin. My goodness, I have been longing to be as thin as her. That is quite an obstacle for me so, I set it aside. Secondly, Ally is so pretty, I have always appreciated her beauty (except that she is so thin, I thought I was watching a kiddy show. I wasn't.) Next, she portrayed to be a lawyer, a profession I have always wanted....

Maybe - Neocolors

I heard this song this morning when I woke up. It is now almost late in the afternoon yet the song keeps ringing in my head. I remember one time, Aldrin, my nephew, and I were browsing through the internet. I left this song playing for him, because I know about this song for ages already. Then I realized, he just kept on playing it for I think more than five times. I got curious and the reason behind is that there is a girl in her life she cannot forget. My nephew is crazily in love with this girl...

Because of You - Kelly Clarkson

I remember my former boss when one time we got a chance to chat. It was just a very short conversation but it was so full of emotions. He is almost at his retireable age but we talked about his childhood experience with his nanny. He was left with this nanny or "yaya" while his parents are at work. He said, there he was molested. He was traumatized at the very early age of 7 or 8.I happen to know someone who was a victim of the same fate. She was still very young when it happened to her -she has not even reached the age...

The One You Love - Glenn Frey

I just came out of the shower room. Out of the blue, this song kept playing on my mind and so I sang along. It says "Are you gonnna stay with the one who loves you or are you going back to the one you love?"Quite a tough question. I would have entertained it if there is anyone I love at the moment. What I did rather, was to caress my skin with the soap, while singing this song... at least I entertained it. What if I was confronted with such a question, which actually I was, while showering, haha! The facts are not clear,...

Beer - Itchy Worms

I'd say this is a very long and lonely song. I thought I couldn't translate this but I did my best shot. I am blogging about this because this is one of my sister's favorites (according to her). This song was pre-installed on her PC when she first bought it. I bet it was a give away. In all honesty, I haven't heard or known about this song if not because of my sister because I seldom listen to FM or AM stations, not to mention TVs, except TV series or news if I got time. (What a boring life I am living, really?) Other than...

Betcha By Golly Wow - Stylistics

This is the first Stylistic song that I am blogging about and my story about this song is "myfriend". I have a very special friend. He is special because eversince I set foot into my first office, my first step in a government office, he was there to assist me. I confided to him about a lot of things. In turn, he gives me pure wisdom, far better than any wisdom I could pick from all the books.I'd say that to an extent because he goes beyond my queries but made his answers straight to the point, plus practical suggestions....

Next In Line - After Image

She was one of our silent classmates but we lived on the same road so we seldom go together after our school. We often had serious conversations about our subjects, teachers and classmates. Cris was a niece of a well-known lawyer in our community but her family was not as wealthy as her uncle. She was just blessed to be sent to a private high school despite financial difficulty of her family, albeit like mine.One time, she handed me a bookmark and guess what was on that bookmark? The lyrics of this song. I only came to...
