Another Celine Dion song for you today... this month of LOVE!
I have always loved Celine Dion songs and as much as I want to sing like her, that will remain a goal for now. I am working on it, ok? (LOL)  Here are my previous posts:
Water From the Moon
My Heart Will Go On

I just saw the movie trailer of ABS-CBN's Unofficially yours from youtube.  It's such an interesting movie, I think I want to see it when it's shown here in the province.



I fell like talking about love again. It's the "love fever" you know!

I was once in a situation that love is in-existent. I didn't know what it meant and how to define it. I still cannot defined it til now but I already have an experience of it.  I didn't know how to give importance to a person. I didn't know it would matter if I do some favor for them or not. It wouldn't really matter to me if I fail to talk to them or at least how they feel.

I thought love has to be confined with one person and I haven't found that person yet.  When I did, well, my world revolved around them. Everything was towards that person. I gave everything to that person to the neglect of the most special people in my life - my family!

That was the past. Now, my world is my family with a bonus and I don't think there's more I'd ask for when it comes to my love, my inspiration, my life.

Enjoy the lyrics and the video.


IF YOU ASKED ME TO

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in 

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to 

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby, for you baby

(But if you asked me to...) 

All ya gotta do
All ya gotta do
'Are 'You 'Gotta do, is ask me to
I'll give you my world
I'll give you my heart
My everything, everything baby.

Just ask me to 

If you asked me to
I'd change my mind
I'll change my mind

Happy Heart's day everyone.


It is just a tragic week that one of our most loved artists just passed away.  Whitney Houston was found lifeless in a hotel room.  This is all over the news. The Grammy Awards even had a segment honoring her.  I like Whitney Houston songs.  "Saving All my Love for You" is also a lovely song.  Add to that my personal favorite, "The Greatest Love of All".

This song entry of the day depicts of an unconditional love - a love that frees another and doesn't expect anything in return.  She just said "I will always love you" no matter what or where you are.  This song means so much to me because I have been trying to emulate the greatest love I have ever experienced.  The most unconditional love I have ever felt.  I bet you know by now that I am referring to my God's love for me.


I am just a human, I know, but this is what I strive for everyday - love unconditionally!  It has always been my motto that the world is a better place to live in if we have love.


Ever wondered why love has no easy definition? Because loving is not an easy thing to do especially to our enemies.  But let us not go farther.  We don't even love our parents, or our friends, or our relatives.  We easily express our abhorrence them.  Giving it the benefit of the doubt, perhaps we love them. But do we show it?  Do we say it? There are a lot of aspects related to love that is why it has no easy meaning.  Love has no easy way. Love is a sacrifice but you will agree with me when I say, "Love is a wonderful feeling".


So let this song remind us of today's occasion, the Heart's Day! Happy V-Day everyone!




I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Whitney Houston


If I should stay, 
I would only be in your way. 
So I'll go, but I know 
I'll think of you every step of the way. 

And I will always love you. 
I will always love you. 
You, my darling you. Hmm. 

Bittersweet memories 
that is all I'm taking with me. 
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry. 
We both know I'm not what you, you need. 

And I will always love you. 
I will always love you. 

(Instrumental solo) 

I hope life treats you kind 
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of. 
And I wish to you, joy and happiness. 
But above all this, I wish you love. 

And I will always love you. 
I will always love you. 
I will always love you. 
I will always love you. 
I will always love you. 
I, I will always love you. 

You, darling, I love you. 
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

Tis the month of February, the month of love for most people. I thought it would be best to talk about my first love. I grinned as I mentioned my first love back there. That is a good sign because I am happy to be talking about love.  Love is the happiest feeling, don't you agree?

You love someone or something when you spend time with them. You beat all odds just to be with them on time; you calendar dates with these people, you block all other plans over the weekend when a loved one is suddenly in need of your presence. You waste your cellphone load to call them and give them comfort.  You do errands for them, beyond expectations. You are selfless in most aspects of your life at the beck and call of a loved one.

We sacrifice for love. We ignore the words of other people; we reach for the stars, we promise the moon, the earth and the sky; anything for love.

There is this one song that keeps playing in my ipod and it talks about my first love. Mi Corazon by Don Moen.  It is a Spanish word literally meaning "My Heart".

The contents of my heart is my first love.  The biggest portion of that heart belongs to God's people. I love my God and one way to show that love for him is to be loving towards other people; He's creation!  This is the reason why as a young kid, I tried to please everyone. (But later on I learned that we cannot please everybody).  When you love, you can't hurt and when you can't hurt, this could be a better place to live in. Mother Teresa once said that: “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

I may not be as tender as Mother Teresa but we can love as much tender as we could.  Spread love!


Mi Corazon lyrics by Don Moen

My heart is filled with songs of praise
You gave me hope, You made a way
Now I long to live in Your presence
For all my days

Chorus
My soul sings, my spirit shouts
With every breath I'm crying out
I want to live for You alone
You have captured my heart, mi corazon
Lord, I give You my whole heart, mi corazon

Amazing grace has recued me
You paid the price, You set me free
I will sing Your praises forever
My Savior and King

Bridge
I will give You glory, tell the wondrous story
How You rescued me
I'm the guilty one, but You sacrificed Your Son
Your One and only
Now I stand before You blameless and holy

Lyrics of the song

GOOD VIBRATIONS by the Beach Boys

 

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears

And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair

I hear the sound of a gentle word

On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

 

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

She's giving me excitations

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop, good vibrations)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Good good good good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Good good good good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

 

Close my eyes

She's somehow closer now

Softly smile, I know she must be kind

When I look in her eyes

She goes with me to a blossom world

 

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

She's giving me excitations

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop, good vibrations)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Good good good good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Good good good good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

 

(Ahhhhhhh)

(Ah my my what elation)

I don't know where but she sends me there

(Ah my, my, what a sensation)

(Ah my, my, what elations)

(Ah my, my, what)

 

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations

A happenin' with her

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations

A happenin' with her

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations

A happenin'

 

Ahhhhhhhh

Good good good good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop, I'm pickin' up good vibrations)

She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop, bop, excitations)

Good good good good vibrations

(Oom bop, bop)

She's na, na ...

 

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na

Do, do, do, do, do,

Do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do,

Do, do, do

First of all thanks to azlyrics.com for the lyrics below.  This is the first time I read the lyrics in its entirety. I just read some fragments of the lyrics in the videoke.



I was with my co-workers last night. Just the ordinary bonding moments. Or so I thought.


I am such a magnet to friends with love problems. She is going through some relationship problems and I can't bear to see her tears falling.  As much as I could, I just brushed the sadness building up inside me just the sight of her crying. I just smiled and told her, "You don't have to cry." And something tells me, she still loves the person but she just can't breath a second longer with her partner.


Love is such a crazy feeling and there is no one answer to a question about love. I wish there was... biblically, there is. That is my answer. But love is unfathomable!


As we parted ways, we hugged and she said "I'm sorry to have ruined the party" and, of course, she said "thanks for listening." I love to listen. That is one of my skills, aside from giving out of this world kind of advise. So I tapped her back, and I said my thanks. She is so sweet she whispered back "I love you friend".  And I think I said, "I know" which is just my usual response to unexpected "I love yous" for me. haha! I love my friends and you are extra special.


Well my friend, this is my song for you. I know you will get through this. I'm just here buddy!

"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

You rise early in the morning to prepare to go to work. Work! Yes, that is a reality of life. We will have to work. Another reality here will be a messy place of work, not to mention the crazy people you get to see, talk to and argue with everyday! Other than people, we have our furniture, of course! And yes, we are in the modern age so don't forget the computer units and tables and your so-called "haven".

You wake up early, ride the train or bus then arrive to your workplace that looks like this:

And then suddenly you will say YUCK! That can be translated in a song by the Coasters to the tune of YAKETY Yak!  You will regret waking up in the morning, you will regret scrubbing off the dirt from your body when you hit the shower because as soon as you enter that kind of office, you will sure to collect more dirt today than yesterday!

If you are a person who loves spaghetti, you may not like it anymore when you find spaghetti-like wires dangling around your workplace. Another YUCK!

So what are we waiting for? Oh for the lyrics of that song YAKETY YAK: here ya gaw!

 

 

Yakety Yak - Coasters

Take out the papers and the trash

Or you don't get no spendin' cash

If you don't scrub that kitchen floor

You ain't gonna rock and roll no more

Yakety yak (don't talk back)

 

Just finish cleanin' up your room

Let's see that dust fly with that broom

Get all that garbage out of sight

Or you don't go out Friday night

Yakety yak (don't talk back)

 

You just put on your coat and hat

And walk yourself to the laundromat

And when you finish doin' that

Bring in the dog and put out the cat

Yakety yak (don't talk back)

 

Don't you give me no dirty looks

Your father's hip; he knows what cooks

Just tell your hoodlum friend outside

You ain't got time to take a ride

Yakety yak (don't talk back)

 

Yakety yak, yakety yak

Yakety yak, yakety yak

Yakety yak, yakety yak

Yakety yak, yakety yak

What a day to post my first this 2012!  The year 2011 hasn't even ended but I was already thinking of being with you for the most of 2012. I was deprived... or I deprived myself of any vanity in 2011 in preparation for that bar exam. As much as I want to be with you then, I could hardly do it. In fact, I barely wrote my blog entries.

I will try to be with you more often. That is my focus for this year. So please bear with me. I also want to tell you that I like this song because I love Mandy Moore. I love her pretty face and her captivating smile. It just makes me smile remembering her cutee-cutee smile in the movie "A Walk to Remember".

For now, here is the lyrics.

Lyrics of the song
I Wanna Be With You

I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of
Anything but you
Your breath on my face your warm gentle kiss I taste
The truth, I taste the truth
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more

[Chorus]
I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you

So I'll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine
To hold forevermore
And I'll savor each touch that I've wanted so much
To feel before, to feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this

[Chorus]

Oh, baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command?
Yeah

[Chorus]
