Sad… moving on

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Move… move on… move on jie…

There’s
nothing else left in here. 

Look around you and you will
see…

You’re left alone… that’s
creepy.

Open your eyes jie…

Open it wide and make it
clear.

You’ve lost them live by it…

Move on and wash away your
last tear.

My
YM is full can’t add no more and need to create a new to add new friends. I’m trying to convince myself that I have all
this friends around… I mean I have their number right, I know where they live
and I’m sure when and if I miss them so much I can just call, text, email or
ride a bus and go to their office or home.

Convincing
myself needs to have a proof so I visited my drinking buddy few years
back. It was good to see him, it was
fun, he’s still cute and funny and of course nothing has changed between us. But, we have few times that we were silent,
felt awkward and I think we’re both feeling the gap.

Then
he said, “really nice of you to come and visit. Miss na kita. I hope you told me your coming para we made
plans. As much as I want to invite you
for a drink or two I can’t may appointment ako.” That was fine by me… although I actually
thought he would make an effort since I came there just to see him.

On
my way home, I realized…he has moved on without me, just like everybody else. I
wish I can just accept that people come
and go… they just bumped into you one day and can be gone tomorrow without
leaving anything to comeback to or without leaving any trace of the friendship
that you’ve once had. I really wish that it would be that easy for me to let go
of the things and people that I once held so dear in my heart… so I don’t end
up missing them and crying myself to sleep.

Well
I have to learn it and live it or else… so let me start my moving on… with a song that I would like to dedicate
to them… Jojo, Loyce, Nicki, JC, Abi, Carla, Nero and Alvin.  Thank
you for all the memories… thanks for all the good things… I wish you all well.

I’m
sharing you the lyrics as well…

All
good things…
All good things…
All good things…

Not sure where to go
Everybody I know
Says I’m too forgiving
And now that I’m gone
I don’t wanna move on
I just keep reliving

All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I wish you well

Lost inside of my head
Empty side of the bed
I feel this place without you
I keep pushing the blues
‘Cause I know I don’t wanna lose
What I loved about you

All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I wish you well

I can think of a million ways
You proved you weren’t the one
So live inside of your shades of gray
And never mind the sunshine
That I’ll find…

I got so much space now
I’ve got a whole house
With the wind blowin’ through
It’s only somewhere to hide
I’ve got this whole world inside
I was accustomed to showing you

All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I wish you well

Oh

All good things…
Oh oh
All good things
Oh oh, oh oh
All good things…
Oh I wish you well…

 

 

Thank you for the music in my life…

I was doing some
video marathon of Mandy Moore songs at youtube.com then I started to feel like
writing again…

Music is something
I grew up with, my grandparents make me sleep while singing a song when I was
little. At age 7 my favorite song was
Nonoy Zuñiga’s “Ngayon at Kailanman”. Its not that I have a great voice but I was with Lea Salonga when I was
9 years old on one of her Banco Filipino sponsored shows at Fiesta Carnival
singing “Rainbow connection and Someones waiting for you”; I dubbed a little
girls voice for a lunchtime drama program in the radio entitled “Simatar”. I’m a
member of the school/church choir all my life. I remember Sharon Cuneta as my favorite Singer at age 9, I can even sing
most of her songs like “Langis at Tubig and Sanay wala ng wakas” at age 11.  My voice changed when I got sick of soar
throat and it went very bad… when I got my voice back it was very different and
I hardly sing even inside my bathroom.

 

But the family
loves music even if music doesn’t loves them back hehehe. So, I have no choice, every family
gathering all the musically inclined
member of the clan would sing. Although
I’d rather listen to them sing but when everyone is finished I was always
forced to sing a song or two. Carpenters songs are my favorite songs to sing
because I always hear them from my Tita’s. I don’t have any particular type of music that I like but the lyrics of the
songs I hear always counts. I like I-axe
Band for the song “Ako’y sayo ika’y akin lamang”, I started watching Freestyle gigs
because of the song “So slow”. “I knew I loved you before I met you by

Savage

Garden

made my heart beats faster and the song “Before I let you go” made me fall in
love all over again and hearing it often makes me cry.

 

Few weeks ago, a
special friend, asked me to listen to some songs by Mandy

Moore

… and “All good things” became my
favorite. The song seems to be bitter of
a lost love but she wishes the person well in the process. I liked it the first time I heard it and I
liked it even better when I got hold of its lyrics. “Extraordinary, Moonshadow, So Real and Have
a little faith in me” are some nice songs by Mandy Moore as well.

But there’s one
song that strikes me and made me feel… the words of the song are simple… but meaningful. So, let me share it with you… the song is
actually something that you can dedicate to someone in your fantasy… hahaha.

(Davey… this one’s
for you grizzlybear)

 

I Wanna Be With You

By Mandy

Moore

I try but I can’t seem to get myself to think of anything but you
Your breath on my face your warm, gentle kiss I taste the truth, I taste the
truth
We know what I came here for
So I won’t ask for more

[CHORUS]
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the on who’s in your arms to hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There’s nothing more to say
There’s nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you

So I’ll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine to hold forevermore
And I’ll savor each touch that I’ve wanted so much to feel before, to feel
before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this

[CHORUS]

Oh, baby
I can’t fight this feeling anymore(anymore)
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command(command)?
Yeah

[CHORUS]

Oh yeah
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, ooo, yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be
