Our Saturday meetings have recently been my source for these posts, and to be honest, they’re not bad at all!

As the term slowly reaches the finish line, we found ourselves growing much closer to the cafe employees and patrons.  A couple of weeks back, one of the regulars made sure to stream his music throughout the cafe, and we ended up having a music-filled writing session.

This weekend, though, we revisited some classics.  I remember first hearing this song from my cousin’s same-day edit video.  She was one of Jason Magbanua’s first clients and the version he used from their SDE is the one with Gary Granada.  (You can watch it here.)

At first, we were struggling to find out who’s the original version.  Then, one of my co-mentees dropped that line:  Frank Sinatra.  Of course.  That’s the only voice that would feel like you’re being courted and wooed from head to toe.

Plus it doesn’t hurt too, that you’re surround by grounded people with old souls.

That’s all.

MUSIC MONDAY: That’s All by Frank Sinatra

The day almost passed and I almost failed to put up my Music Monday selection.  I was this close to not forgiving myself.  Hahaha.

Anyway, the past few weeks have been quite turbulent for my thesis writing.  Not only am I uninspired, my raw research data just continues to expand, meaning I have more to read and edit and filter and select as deemed appropriate for my thesis discussion.

For a moment there, I failed Prof Ben too, when work overtook schooling.  Ideally, there should be a balance but the scales have been tipped and only a good amount of 80s music can even it out again.

For that, I would like to thank Gelo of Kaffe Caffe.  If it wasn’t for the heartbreak playlist, I wouldn’t be the prodigal daughter that I am today.

I’m ready this time
I know that I’m no longer undecided

Let’s finish this shit with a bang so I can finally do my 30-second dance party.
