This song never fails to get stuck in my head. It is always haunting, each time I hear it. It never stops chasing me. Especially the Skin and Bones version. I just love it.
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything can ever feel this real forever
My iPod is on shuffle and I was pretty jovial when it played Borderline/Open Your Heart (Glee) as its first track. I was close to dancing before I uproot my mother from her corporate chair so we can finally head home. Then this song played.
And the song kept playing.
Malas mo, ikaw ang natipuhan ko.
The title is supposed to be something far wittier than that, but I couldn’t think of anything else! I see these little girls almost every other weekend but it wasn’t until I saw these photos did I realize how much they’ve grown.
Bianca is enrolled at Lyric Music Studio and she studies the piano. If I’m not mistaken, this is her second recital. It was held at the Filipinas Heritage Library along Makati Avenue. So right after the long workweek, I walked my ass over there to at least catch the tail end of it.
When I got there, Bianca and Maylene were already doing the art that Marga and I hav perfected: camwhoring. Hahahahaha.
I caught her in the middle of a serious instruction: "Ate May take my photo with the guitar! Dali!" Hahahaha. I love my cousins and their jologs moments. :)
The venue was quite cramped to be honest, especially with all the instruments in it (read: grand piano in baby library).
Bianca with her most loyal fans. I believe Lola Mommy is about to spearhead a nationwide fan club for her.
Can you believe how fast time flies?!
Of course, the pro had to show how bathroom photos are taken. Just forgot to wipe the mirror though, so I had an accidental mole on the cheek. Hahahaha.
Filipinas Heritage Library is hidden behind this fantastic landscape. So yes, another photo there too.
Good job, Bianca on your recital! I am looking forward to hearing your version of Canon in D. :)
I’m waiting for responses to the office email I sent out. In hopes of creating a much better product for the company, I need ideas and these ideas cannot all come from me.
So I’m abusing the power of the Internet, and the fact that I’m not doing anything to fill up another blogspace. I mean, I’m on a roll already, so I might as well strike while the iron is hot.
I wonder if our local music channel does this still, acoustic sessions. I’m pretty sure they do, but it’s just sad how our local artists can’t seem to make their presence felt.
Wait. They don’t love you like I love you.
What is your favorite song of all time?
I think that’s a pretty difficult question, being a fan of so many artists. I think most of my friends would no even know the asnwer to this. Most of them would complain that I have too many weird tastes so I guess it’s better for me to have a permanent playlist in mind.
I love European pop and rock, and a lot of indie artists. I feel like I’m doing some sense of injustice each time I don’t defend the quality and the depth of their lyrics because in all honesty, most of their words sink to the very core. People just fail to acknowledge it, probably because they’ve gotten so used to the pop sound and the bandwagon that they just automatically reject whatever it is that’s new to their ear. Or maybe that’s just me being judgmentsl.
However, I do have a list of my favorite lyrics. Once revealed, everyone would know the romantic that I am. What the hell, it’s bound to show anyway.
And of course, I have to cite something from John Mayer:
Should have smiled in that picture / If that’s the last that I’ll see of you
So far, that’s it. I know I’m eventually adding more to this list so expect me to answer this question again. :)
