If You’re Not the One

[10 Nov 2007 | 0 Comments | ]

Sev­eral years ago when I was still based at the Ate­neo, a friend of mine kept singing this song to me. I don’t know why. She prob­a­bly liked me. hahaha. But i do like the song, if only because it speaks of a seem­ingly unre­quited love that is will­ing to wait and is will­ing to ques­tion the set rules and is will­ing to fight for love.
There are typ­i­cal love stories–the ones writ­ten about in books and shown in movies. The ones where life is a strug­gle but we as …

Umbrella by Rihanna performed by Marie Digby

[8 Nov 2007 | 0 Comments | ]

I actu­ally first heard this song when a front desk asso­ciate of our com­pany sang it early morn­ing Thurs­day. She got the guard’s radio, pressed the call but­ton and ser­e­naded the guards. She sang it so well that I just had to ask her the title of the song.
I learned it was sung by Rihanna, although Cris Brown did his own ver­sion (chang­ing the cho­rus from “You can stand under my umbrella” to “You can be my Cin­derella.”) and Mandy Moore also recorded her own ver­sion which was even­tu­ally used …

Ikaw — by the University of Pardubice Choir and the Ateneo Glee Club

[24 Sep 2007 | 0 Comments | ]

One of my all-time favorite songs. There’s sup­posed to be a great story behind the song — George Canseco was sup­posed to have writ­ten this for his dying wife. But even with­out the story, you’ll feel just by lis­ten­ing to it, that there is great love behind the song. The lyrics and the melody is haunt­ing and makes you fall in love over and over again.
And I love how the Uni­ver­sity of Par­du­bice Czech Choir and the Ate­neo Glee Club “con­spired” to come up with this won­der­ful ver­sion. I got …

You and Me Song

[15 Aug 2007 | 0 Comments | ]

This is from the movie Romeo + Juliet. A new favorite. Nix made me lis­ten to it last night since this is Ran­dell and her theme song.
I love the beat and the fact that it sounds like a 70’s song that turns into a 90’s song when you reach the cho­rus. hehe.
It’s about cou­ples fight­ing. And how we try to do stu­pid, funny, cute things to make up. And how we smile and laugh about the fight after­wards. Because after a while, you both real­ize that noth­ing is greater–not even …

Catch Me I’m Falling

[9 Aug 2007 | 0 Comments | ]

I kept hear­ing this song on the radio on the way to work or on the way home. I didn’t even know it was a Fil­ip­ina singer who sang this song until I saw the video. Come to think of it, I didn’t even know Toni Gon­zaga sang! She’s this girl who was really funny while try­ing to sound seri­ous on Waz­zup Waz­zup. But she sings well. And the tune is catchy.
It’s not exactly LSS (last song syn­drome) mate­r­ial, but it’s good. I hope, for her sake, that she’s …
