Music and Me

Mahilig akong makinig ng music. Araw araw, palagi kong pinapatugtog yung mga MP3 na galing sa server ng Systems. Sobrang dami non na kahit magpatugtog ka maghapon, walang mauulit. Pero pili lang ang mga gustong kong kanta doon. Pinipili ko kasi ang kanta based sa lyrics nya, kapag medyo nakakarelate ako, nagiging paborito ko na sya. Minsan nga natatawa ako kasi me mga kanta na parehong pareho ng nangyayari sa buhay ko. Wala lang, parang nananadya. Me mga kantang paborito ko lang for a period of time, meron naman mula High School ako, gusto ko na sya. So far heto ang mga gusto kong kanta sa ngayon:

Getting To Know Each Other
Ariel Rivera

I call you and you call me
It's funny how we get on so easily
We're just friends aren't we
You've got yours, I've got mine
And friends are all we ever could be

( But ) We're getting to know each other
A little too well
( Getting to know each other )
( A little too well )
We're starting to show our feelings
And people can tell
( Ooh, people can tell )
Ev'ry time that your eyes meet mine
I light up like a neon sign
Yes, We're getting to know each other
A little too well...
( Getting to know each other )
( A little too well... )

We have lunch ev'ry now and then
And I find myself humming love songs
Again and again...
Too many nights I'm workin' 'till ten
And I hope that you know
That It's hopeless to go on when...
( Repeat chorus except last line )
( Getting to know each other... )
Getting to know each other...
A little too well...
( Getting to know each other... )
( A little too well... )


Falling
Keahiwai

I wanna tell you baby
You're the one that Im thinking of
But your heart is still with her
And I think she's the one that you love
I only want you happy
Even if it's not with me
Maybe one day
You'll open up your eyes and you'll see

[Chorus]
That I think Im falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think Im falling
Baby Im falling for you

[Verse 2]
From the first time
You laid your lips on mine
It feels like the smile on my face
Will last till the end of time
But Im not so sure
That you're the one that I should pursue
My mind tells me no
But my heart only says that it's you

[Chorus]

Bridge:
Only time will tell
The mystery has yet to unfold
Who's gonna feel love's warmth
And the other left in the cold

[Chorus]
Yet still I'm falling
Maybe im falling for you
yeah I think Im falling
Baby I'm falling for you
That I think Im falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
yeah I think Im falling
Baby Im falling for you



Maybe
(Geneva Cruz)

There I was waiting for a chance
Hoping that you'll understand
The things I wanna say

As my love went stronger than before
I wanna see you more and more
But you closed your door
Why don't you try to open up your heart
I won't take so much of your time

Chorus 1:
Maybe, it's wrong to say please love me too
'Coz I know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know she's here to stay
But I know to whom you should belong

I believed what you said to me
We should set each other free
That's how you want it to be

But my love went stronger than before
I wanna see you more and more
But you closed your door
Why don't you try to open up your heart
I won't take so much of your time

Chorus 2:
Maybe, it's wrong to say please love me too
'Coz I know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know she's here to stay
But my love is strong
I don't know if this is wrong
But I know to whom you should belong


WHY CAN'T IT BE
Rannie Raymundo

You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world
Oh baby please don't get me wrong
'Cause I'm not complaining
But you see, you got my mind spinning

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At a wrong place, at a wrong time
Or was it me

Baby I dream of you every minute
You're in my dreams
You're always in it
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours but only
Till I wake up

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At a wrong place, at a wrong time
You came along
At a wrong place, at a wrong time
Or was it me

Spark Plug

Spark - \Spark\, v. i. -

- A small particle of fire or ignited substance which is emitted by a body in combustion.

- That which, like a spark, may be kindled into a flame, or into action; a feeble germ; an elementary principle.

- small but noticeable trace of some quality that might become stronger; "a spark of interest"; "a spark of decency"

Ano nga ba ang titatawag na spark? Spark sa electrical wiring, Spark sa lusis, Spark Plug ng sasakyan? Mas gusto ko ang definition na may "small but noticeable trace of some quality that might become stronger". Marahil ay maihahalintulad ko ito sa naramdaman ni Claudine nung sininok sya sa Got To Believe o kaya naman yun naramdaman nina Romeo and Juliet nung magkita sila sa party. Para akin, nagkakaroon ng spark kapag may isang moment na nagpahinto ng mundo mo at pagkatapos noon, malalaman mo na lang na ang taong yon ang gusto mong makasama habang buhay. Magigising ka na lang na sa kanya na pala umiikot ang mundo mo, wala ka ng ibang bukambibig kundi sya at ginagawa mo na ang lahat ng anumang bagay na makakatulong at makakapagpasaya sa kanya. Kulang na lang ay isigaw mo sa buong mundo kung gaano sya kaspecial sa iyo. Nakakatawa hindi ba, pero yun ang totoo. Ang spark na binabanggit ko ay di mo mararanasan sa lahat ng tao. Dumarating din ito ng di mo inaasahan. Dumadating sa di inaasahang lugar, panahon o minsan tao.

Subalit, palagi bang tama ang Spark? Yan ang palagi kong tinatanong sa sarili ko. Kung talagang yun ang magsasabing ang taong yon ang makakasama mo habang buhay bakit minsan hindi naman pwede? Dahil ba hindi pa ngayon ang tamang panahon o lugar? Paano kung hindi pala sya ang tamang tao? Maaari bang mangyari yon?

Marahil nga, pero syempre wala pa ako sa lugar para magpatunay non. Basta ang importante, nakita ko na ang spark buhay ko. Marahil hindi pa nga ito ang tamang panahon, pero who knows... Basta maghihintay pa rin ako.

Tula Mula sa Sumisintang Makata

Hindi ko akalaing dito patutungo,
Lihim na pagtinging itinatago ng puso ko,
Laking tuwa ko ng aking mapagtanto,
Na ikaw, katulad ko'y may pag-ibig ding itinatago.

Pangako ko sa iyo aking minamahal,
Pag-ibig ko'y di magmamaliw, mundo man ay magunaw,
Lagi kang gagabayan sa hirap ng buhay,
Kailama'y di maghahanap ng anumang kabayaran.

Sapagkat ang pag-ibig na sa iyo'y inaalay,
Sadyang wagas at busilak, dalisay magpakailan pa man,
Nakahandang magpasakit, magsakripisyo at masaktan,
Kung ang kapalit noo'y kaligayahan mo aking mahal.
