I am starting a trail of lyrics translation for one of the best Original Pilipino Singer I like. He is Ogie Alcasid. I know I have already published / blogged about his song SA KANYA (http://favesongdiary.blogspot.com/2008/08/sa-kanya-ogie-alcasidmymp.html) There are a lot of his songs I really like and so I am starting this thread of blogs for him to honor to one of the singer-composers of the country. Ogie Alcasid's songs have always been soulful. His voice is very melodious for me and you...

There is a new soap opera in one of the local television stations here in the Philippines. It is entitled Onanay, with Nora Aunor, the Superstar of Philippine movies as lead actress. It is about a midget* (a person with dwarfism syndrome, sometimes called little person) woman who has two children, one child from her rape experience, the other a legitimate child. The story is very interesting because the concept is new. It may have been the first story about a midget mother's plight in life. I could...

I am an aspiring author. I have always wanted to write a book. I have been blogging for almost ten years now but hiding behind my pen name. I am writing behind shadows. But my writing skills is fiercely shaking me, as if trying to wake me up from slumber. It's as if my inner soul is leading my hands to write, write and write. So I enrolled in a book writing course and just last Saturday, I again attended a book writing camp sponsored by Kereygma Publishing Inc. Despite the weather, the flooding...

This is a song about finding your one true love with the blessings of God above. For a lot of people, love is very elusive. They confuse love with infatuation, romance, spark,  attraction, and still some, economic viability. Love is beyond all those things. Love is willingness to share hardships and problems. Willingness to keep their vow through thick and thin. This is a very sensitive topic to some who haven't found their true love yet.  But for this song, there is a...

This is a slow song. It captures my attention because of the melody and Moira has a very smooth voice. It speaks about someone waiting to be picked up (for a relationship). This is a sound track for a soap opera here in the Philippines entitled: The Good Son. I just thought of translating this for you so you could have a sort of understanding of what the song is about. I liked the first lyrics stating: I have long searched the whole world.. to find you. That's what it really feels like when...

I haven't been blogging for quite a while and this is my first entry for this year. I've been trying to get the feel of writing again. So I thought what better song to write as a new entry for 2018 than a Perfect song? I have been a fan of Ed Sheeran for quite a while now. I love this song and it has been played in most parties and wedding occasions I have been recently.  It brings soft melody. It reminds me of love, and how gentle it is. A love that may at times become violent. It's like...
