New Segment: SONG of the WEEK

Hello everyone!

So, this segment of mine will be featuring songs that has been stuck in my head for a week OR 

probably a song that I love at first heard. HAHAHA, (love at first sight, get it?)

ANYWAY, without further ado. My song of the week is (drum rolls please).....

We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus.

Okay, a lot of people might not like the song because of the music video but please! if you just listen to the beat and the melody IT IS quite catchy especially the part where it goes " la da di da di, we like to party, dancing with Miley". In school where i just sing it out of the blue, my classmates tell me to stop because they get LSS (last song syndrome) and they get tuned into it even if they didn't like it at first. So, let's just say i'm a bit influential when it's music. (evil laugh) I also like the part where the unknown guy sing "It's our partywe can do what we want..."

The song may suggest wildness, liberation, having fun and living the YOLO but it is all in ourselves how or what we do with our freedom. Too much freedom is also bad y'know? Keep it all in moderation. Peace!

So check it out guys! Have fun listening :) 

la da di da di, we like to party, dancing with Miley

Stay tuned for next week's Song of the WEEK.

I am BACK with vengeance

Hi. It truly has been a while since I've started this again.
Since, its summer here in the Philippines i can probably tend to my blog more.

So, while i was away and all, i was writing some lyrics. hihi
These lyrics are not really from personal experience but lets just say its indirect.
I haven't figured out the tune yet since i'm not really good at it, so whoever can read this please feel free to use my lyrics and put on a good tune to it. However, please don't forget to give credits and let me hear it okay? Thanks :)

Oh! And also, i havent figured out what my title would be.

Here I go again
Wishing I am the girl you adore
Pretending to be happy listening to you talk about this girl and how you think she's the one.

I am back again
Dreaming I could turn back to the time
When I had the chance to say those 3 words
Wondering if it would've change everything

Refrain:
Again and again, I get mesmerized by your eyes.
Over and over, I get lost in your smile.
My mantra: get over you

Chorus:
'Coz  I need to stop thinking about you
Gotta find ways to get over you
But no matter what I do
I end up still longing for you

Thought I finally got over you
But I saw you again with her
And the pain comes back like a fresh wound

I was wrong to think I'm done with you
Feeling like a fool thinking I could have a chance with you
But it's game over
And i gotta get over you

[Refrain]
[Chorus]

Bridge:
All people say time heals but I think it's new love that heals.
Gotta find a new man twice, thrice better than you.

[Refrain]
[Chorus2x]

I also forgot to mention i'm an  A.M.A.T.E.U.R. at this and my first time. teehee
So, whattya think? Feel free to post your comments, negative reactions, suggestions and any other ...tions. hahaha
THANK YOU :D

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

This will be my official second post to my blog. The first one is the Musicality and the others are just random stuff that i'm too lazy to delete. Haha. From now on, i will be posting stuff about music and music related so i hope you will like my blog and learn from it as well. Let's get this started!

it's how many days before Christmas? i really don't know and don't care because everyday is Christmas for me :) and so i'll be sharing you my favorite classic Christmas song which is sung by my favorite guy Michael Buble!

And if you're looking for lyrics, here it is:

Have yourself a merry little christmas,

Let your heart be light

From now on, 

Our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little christmas

Make the Yule-tide gay,

From now on,

Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years

We all will be together,

If the Fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

So my favorite part is my critic:

first one: i really like how they made it sound all Disney-ish, [i'm a big fan of Disney's ;)] don't get me wrong though, i also like the original

and as usual, Michael Buble's voice fits perfectly with the song and i don't think he needs auto tune anyway, and such great diction that you understand the words [the song really is very understandable even without great diction] hahaha. And lastly, the orchestra sounds really divine. you can hear the violins, the cello and the flute and others. They are well blended and in sync with the other instruments. And that ends my critic :)

Merry Christmas everybody! Ho ho ho!

Musicality

My mom said i'm a bit weird because in my generation, i appreciate Classical Music when i'm supposed to listen to Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and all other pop music. Don't get me wrong but I really like Katy Perry and i also love to listen to pop music but in my iPod there is always a playlist for classical music. I even go to concerts that are classical in genre and never have i went to concerts of Pop music. Well, i would probably go if it's Katy Perry but it should be in Cebu not in Manila.

Just a year ago, i found a choir who sings classical music. They are called Libera and since then I have been an addict to their songs. A sample is:

Also, they had a concert here in Cebu and together with my mom and friends we went there. I wouldn't miss it for the world. It was held in Waterfront and luckily the date of their concert was my birthday so, going to the concert was my birthday gift from my mom. To top it all off, my bestfriend gave me a Libera CD with their signatures/autograph on it. It was the best! Furthermore, during the concert Libera sang a Filipino song which was Bayan Ko! I couldn't believe it at first then you hear there twang. It was funny because of how they pronounced it but their voices are really good. So again here is the Bayan Ko: Enjoy!

I think my appreciation of classical music was influenced more when i decided to enter our school choir and our supervisor made me change my perspective of music. Music is not just all about the tunes and the lyrics, it's also about who is it for, what for is this song about? It should not just express yourself but it should make the people listen to your point, to your belief and views. There are still a lot more on what music is really about and once you understand it, it'll pile up more and more.

Procrastination

Lately, I've been procrastinating and i know that this is not the right time to procrastinate because next week is already finals week.

They say procrastinating is a bad habit and i beg to disagree. Though i'm not really the type who procrastinates, but this habit is of great help to me. Procrastinating makes me "nanning"/work harder at the nick of time. Whenever the deadline is getting near, it's the time I work harder. This is the time where i feel the adrenaline rush. It feels very exciting for me sometimes whenever I get stressed because I know I'm doing something unlike when you're not stressed but you're really, really bored. I'd rather feel stressed than get bored to death.

People might say that I'm lazy or I'm not using my time well but I really don't care. Procrastinating brings out the best in me. Ironic right? but it's the truth.

When i was still in high school i did 2 projects, one is i used my time wisely and the other one i procrastinated. Both of them got the same results, almost perfect. So, i'd rather procrastinate but i'm not saying it's for forever. I still have a big life ahead of me and i'm not going to waste it to procrastinate. By the way, the projects were sewing stuff for TLE.
I also have to balance when to procrastinate and when it's not the right time to or I might end up being like her:

Sinulog Fever

i know it is already February and that Sinulog was just last January but let me share you something about it.

First, let us tackle on what is really Sinulog and how it came to be.

"Sinulog is a dance ritual in honor of the miraculous image of the Santo Nino. The dance moves to the sound of the drums and this resembles the current (Sinulog) of what was then known as Cebu’s Pahina River. Thus, in Cebuano, they say it’s Sinulog."

Historical accounts say that before Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan came to Cebu on April 7, 1521 to plant the cross on its shore and claim the country for the King of Spain, Sinulog was already danced by the natives in honor of their wooden idols and anitos. Then Magellan came and introduced Christianity. He gave the Santo Nino (image of the Child Jesus) as baptismal gift to Hara Amihan, wife of Cebu’s Rajah Humabon who was later named Queen Juana. At that time, not only the rulers were baptized but also about 800 of their subjects. Unfortunately, however, shortly after the conversion, Magellan went into a reckless adventure by fighting the reigning ruler of Mactan, Rajah Lapulapu, with only a handful of men. He died in the encounter. That was on April 27, 1521...... more of the history is actually here: Sinulog History. All the credits for all the information used is actually in that site.

I know that Sinulog really is a very big and grand festival but i usually just stay at home and enjoy my "me" time by reading a book, surfing the net all day, or even sleep all day. Most of the time, i surf the net but there are also times that i do my assignments, homeworks and project on that day. I also actually don't care about those TV personalities and celebrities who are there sitting and waving in their respective floats. BUT i would definitely be there if the celebrities are from HOLLYWOOD like Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley but i think that's impossible. I don't go out because of the crowd, the dirty streets, the smell of the people and no ways of transportation. Those are my main reasons for not going out on a lively festival.

Prior to the day before the festival, there is actually the procession. Now, this is something I wouldn't miss for the world. Me and my mom join every year bringing our Sñr. Santo Niño image and our rosaries. I was actually overjoyed knowing that we wouldn't be able to join the crowd control that is actually a requirement for our NSTP because i will be able to join my mom in the procession. But the procession last time was a bit of a disaster because it was raining really, REALLY hard but it did not stop the people from continuing the procession.

To the Cebuanos: Haven't you ever wondered why Cebu is not always being hit by strong storms,. typhoons and other natural disasters and that Cebu is a prospering province?? They say it's because of our FAITH. Because we have this Sinulog, that we return what we have indebted to our God and I actually believe this. Though i don't have a very great faith like the others but i have Faith in HIM and i hope that you do also.

In God We Trust.

Neglect

I'm sitting here inside the ICT room, neglecting whatever our instructor is saying.

It's almost time and I don't want to go to our next subject.

I want to stay in this lab because it's very cool.

Why can't all classrooms be all air-conditioned??

I don't feel like going to classes now.

I want to go home and just surf the net without someone watching what i am surfing.

I can't wait to eat for lunch, i didn't have breakfast a while ago.

Making a video for our project in ICT is very troublesome.

I've experienced this before, having late nights, eye strain, headache, skipping meals just to finish the video.

I even think that the outcome of our video will be bad, not that i'm discriminating my skills and stuff in editing it's just that i'm just a lazy person.

oh why, oh why did i decide to be an educator? oh well, at least i'm happy with it :)

The problem now is our burner is broken so i'm very troubled but i know i can make a way with the help of our Saving Grace.

Lord God, Heavenly King, Almighty Father! and all other gods out there, I am calling you for help. Help me with your divine intervention that this video will be a good or if pwede the best video made or will have a high grade. So help me God. Amen.

Am i asking for too much?? Well, this is it. God bless me.
