A Little Thing Called Love
I saw someone posting this in FB, watched my first ever Thai movie, 'A Little Thing Called Love'
Aww so sweet, makes me wanna be young. :(
I dont know if most of the girls will agree with me. I think each of us has this moment, probably at least once. You seem to like someone a lot, so much that you want to change for the better, to improve in different ways. You change the way you look, the way you dress, the way you walk so that you can be physically attractive enough in his eyes. You want to excel so that you'd be someone worthy of having him. You just wanna do stuff (sometimes funny and obnoxious) to catch a little of his attention, a little of his time, a little of his concern, because simply doing so makes you happy. And seeing him smile makes you happy. And yet you keep holding back without telling him because you dont know what to say.
Aww God, pity these kind of ladies, help them get the man to do something instead, and not drowning in the pool like this poor charming lady.
Enjoy the OST:

October feels good
No idea why I feel October seems to be a good month. Or perhaps I just choose to feel good without any particular reason.
Taking a light, happy song from my ktv clips again :p

For the Love of Singing (2)
And here's the English song..
As I listen again now, I suddenly get to appreciate the nice sound system of the new branch of Kbox in Scape, it comes with the new touchscreen ipad-sort of monitor for choosing songs. I'm impressed that there is a screen for handstroke writing to choose songs apart from the usual singer/song/category selection, as well as some poker games icons for those who want to kill time while others are singing. *unpaid advertisement* :)

For the Love of Singing
I’ve always been fascinated with singing, though no one seems to really know :p
After photography, I’ve also met another guru, this time in the field of music. It’s the first time I know of anyone who actually sings in a pub in Sg (ok used to be one of my crazy dream jobs!). He’s the same Filipino guy (married) who referred me to my current job. I was curious about his singing antics so once and for all, we decided to go to KTV. Yeah he is quite good. He told me this: usually there are only 2 kinds of people who are KTV addicts:
1) Those who have a voice
2) Those who sing very lousily and are just going to KTV to shout with friends
After hearing me sing, his verdict: I belong to the first type! Yey! And he did point out my problem: ‘namimili ng kanta ang boses mo’. True enough, I can only sing comfortably in songs of average ranges, the easier ones to manipulate. I can barely sing a fast song or rock for that matter. Unlike him, he seems to carry any types of song, any genre so well. Well that’s a ‘paid’ voice, so it is expected. I’m just a leisure singer.
For the past few years in SG, I’ve been to KTV several times, but most of them were with 1 or 2 friends only. I enjoyed every moment of it. Before it is just a sort of a stress outlet, but later on I realized it’s something I love to do and wouldn’t mind wasting time on.
Recently I went to KTV with a group of new friends. Because I have a member card promo which I feel is a waste if I don’t get to use frequently, I asked them to tag along. I have long forgotten the feeling of a lot of people in a KTV room, last one being in Redbox 3 years ago during some teambuilding I guess.
More people attending actually means less chance of singing actually.
Other people singing uberly bad is ok, sometimes people can still carry it through with a cute attitude. Cute is subjective though :p
There are people who can sing very well and who seem to confidently overflaunting it by raising the key to 2 or 3 notes higher. It doesnt seem necessary too? Or maybe it's just me, I'm just a leisure singer after all. :)
The more unpleasant:
*If people who don’t hold a mic prefers to shout along and sing his/her own, I guess everyone’s eardrums are nearing hemorrhagic bleeding. I don’t find it funny or enjoyable.
*Coming across ‘buakaw’ people continuously queuing 10+ consecutive songs, shows lack of consideration!
*Personally I don’t finish the whole song (perhaps I will stop the song at the end of the first chorus, to give others a chance, besides, repeating the whole song is quite boring. I only finish the whole song for a few favorite songs) – Anyway, I didn’t know some people could consider this ‘bastos’ not to let them finish the whole song.
*And one person asks me how many people have confirmed attendance, I said ‘I think 3 or 4’ – she answered ‘maybe we want to postpone it some other time, because the more the merrier dba’. Is 3 or 4 considered too small a crowd for KTV?? Seems like nowadays, majority of people equate KTV to group singing and shouting sporadically.
Perhaps that is also the reason why some guys don’t like going to KTV to accompany their girlfriends. I suddenly pity those who are forced to participate in such mini-chaos.
And I was laughed at when few people knew I had gone to KTV alone for a few times before. Well all I can say is we all have different satisfaction levels, especially for people like me and kumare. Buti na lng, two of a kind. And I did stop doing so, nagpa-apekto naman. :p
I would still consider my best KTV moments as those with my kumare friend. It makes KTV more enjoyable when both of you know the songs each one is singing (I guess we have the same preference and follow the same artists). Strangely our chemistry is extremely good, unspoken agreement and yet we seem to jive well. Rules don’t have to be explicit at all, else it lacks the fun and excitement! If everything is told to you, then it's a waste. The key is just to be responsive and sensitive and spontaneous.
As mentioned a couple of times already, I always prefer quality over quantity in terms of crowd! But of course, on certain occasions, I don’t mind going to KTV in large groups of close friends, I wouldn’t mind the chaos if the company is worth the few bonding hours.
Ok enough of the talking, here’s a few sample clips from yours truly (kapalan na ng mukha!). Disclaimer: I’m not good, just tolerably average. Have a nice weekend everyone as I sing to the world. Let's toast to that. :) No, I am not drunk.

Jay and Jolin again
Ok fangirl for the last time, well anyway only one person can make me crazy :D
Jay's concert finale in Taiwan has a special guest, no other than Jolin. Top 2 icons of Taiwan.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQv3_dFfUN0
And the juicy part, Jolin is Jay's ex 5 yrs ago! When their careers were just starting, the two were once a pair. He has composed songs for Jolin in her earlier
albums. This is what the rumor is, grapevine. Due to Jay's womanizing ways, he dumped her for another famous pretty TV news anchor (who I actualy dont consider lovelier than Jolin). Jolin was said to be torn after the break-up. Both their careers grew stronger throughout the years, being the best-selling icon of Taiwan
superstars. Jolin seemed to be more competitive after the break-up and exerted lots of effort to improve her skills, now earning the title of being a dancing diva. It was said that her motivation was to beat Jay and she did, a few times in records selling. Jay broke up with the news anchor and consequently get linked to various women from time to time. It was said they were not in good terms.
And to everyone's surprise, they hooked up again in Jay's concert, whatever the dance means! Love it. Super kilig watching this. I hope they do get back together! They are just too good to be together, two of a kind, no one could ever compare and dare come close :)
Now the saying 'Nan Ren Bu Hwai, Nu Ren Bu Ai'. I am not much of a fan, but yes, Jay is an exception :p. Why bother the starlets when you can have the brightest star, wake up kid! :p

Song for the Day
Featuring the latest LSS of the week:
It's been playing in my ipod over and over again. Yes I bought one last month, just to experience the wifi-enabled city of SG, where everyone feels it and I still don't. I am barbaric.
I'm hooked with the melody. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, listening to it gives u somewhat a surge of emotions. (Disregard the video, I personally think the song is much more meaningful than the video content)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmQJcIw7fAA
灰色的彩虹
我從秋天等到 安靜的落葉
還不夠時間 倒帶想念
就像電影情節 最後完結篇
褪色的畫面 沒有笑臉
我的記憶搖晃著昨天 我還有感覺
一抬頭什麼都看不見 雨後的無言
紅橙黃綠我都找不到的晴天
從此 我們兩個世界
在灰色季節漸漸忘記你的一切
過幾年 我在原點
彩虹出現 而我再也找不到
美麗的蝴蝶 偏偏飛不上天
對你的想念 再也寄不到
你世界 地址是再見
P.S. If you manage to understand the lyrics then this somehow describes how I feel before taking the chapter tomorrow. I'm living to my name of 'nature girl', the lyrics mostly pertain to nature elements. I'm going to be hooked on this for some time I think. It's a hook that I throw myself into...
P.P.S. The hardest word to say.. it's not Sorry, not I Love/Hate You. It is Goodbye.

LSS: Ballads
I heard this song over the radio and instantly had LSS on it. Sung by a new singer, I would say he is excellent with falsetto. You can hear it here: http://www.gg800.com/p/239547.htm
The lyrics are sincere. I 'crush' him tuloy :D. (disclaimer: falsetto is not gay)
你可不可以爱我 可不可以想我
虽然我对自己没有一点的把握
别害怕我难过 告诉我你真实的感受
至少忐忑已告一段落
你可不可以爱我 可不可以看我
反正看或不看
我依然失魂落魄
成全不是美德
拒绝也不是一种罪过
你能给我 快乐还是寂寞 ＊
One more song, the chorus is well-written and rhyming.
全世界都停了电
全世界都封了街
我所有窗子外面 被贴上黑夜
我呐喊思念却没人听见
绝望到极点 剩的是疲倦
全世界都停了电
全世界白雪满天
才发觉在我心间 有回忆碎片
一作梦翻身就刺痛流血
我卷着身体 缩成一个圈 像一个句点
There goes recommended mp3 for the day.

My Youtube Hits 100K+
In relation to my concert-tripping (if there is such word), my steaming hot youtube reaches 100K+ views in 1 year! I even have some subscribers. Initially I was just planning to use it as my video files backup. Wow. Never thought my ultra-blurred recordings have enticed some curious souls to click on them. My top 2 videos that have 3000 hits are from Nicholas and Jay!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0xy_KAYrgQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHIbFhOlIXE
So probably if I put up an online ad for whatever rackets I might have, it will sell, well at least earn some awareness points. :p

Pathetic Love Songs
I seem to have a penchant for pathetic love songs, the underdogs, the martys, the foolish whatever - simply because these are the fun songs for videoke session. Coincidentally, natitimingan whenever I take the airport taxi from SG. Today it's airing a song from Rihanna. Last time, it's a chinese (pathetic) love song. I'm posting them below. LSS mode:
Take A Bow - Rihanna
Oh, How about a round of applause, Yeah
A standing ovation
Oooooo, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you’re sorry cuz you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talkin’ bout'
Girl, I love you, you’re the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (on)
知道 - 郭静
她让你憔悴许多
她让你不知所措
她的一举一动你不停的对我说
我微笑倾听你说
我却越听越心痛
怎么你说的不是我
她比我多了什么
让你愿意耐心等候
我想知道她让你痴心是什么
我想知道她让你疯狂为什么
我知道做的和她没有不同
但是我却不在你的心中逗留
我想知道她哪里比我好很多
在你心中她和我有什么不同
我知道我比她付出的还多
可是我总换不了你的心动
你让我憔悴很多
你让我不知所措
你一举一动我的心被牵着走
她不经意的走过
你就把我给冷落
嫉妒把我给吞没
她比我多了什么
让你愿意耐心等候
我想知道她让你痴心是什么
我想知道她让你疯狂为什么
我知道做的和她没有不同
但是我却不在你的心中逗留
我想知道她哪里比我好很多
在你心中她和我有什么不同
我知道我比她付出的还多
可是我总换不了你的心动
我知道了她哪里比我好更多
在你心中我永远不可能会让你心动
我知道我比她付出的还多
可是我在你心中没有她多

What A Wonderful World
This is the first weekend in SG wherein I did not have any lakads. I just feel like relaxing, resting, enjoying in my room.
Sharing another song that I've been looking for quite some time. This was played in my Chao Phraya Cruise, then again I heard it in a concert. Something similar to Moon River. I matched it with a picture I took in Davao. :)
What a Wonderful World --- Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
(instrumental break)
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you).
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

Someday
I have been looking for the mp3 of this song for quite some time. (ain't doing much illegal download here :p). One of the few english songs where I can feel some emotions. Carried away..
Someday by Nina
Someday, you'll gonna realize
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
But then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I cared
I know you don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well, I've got news for you
I know I'm not that strong
But it won't take long, won't take long
CHORUS
'Cause someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday
But now, I know you can tell
I'm down and I'm not doin' well
But one day, these tears
They will all run dry
I won't have to cry sweet goodbye
CHORUS
'Cause someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place, Ooh
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, I know someone's gonna be there
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday
Ahh yeah yeah
Someday by Nina
Someday, you'll gonna realize
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
But then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I cared
I know you don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well, I've got news for you
I know I'm not that strong
But it won't take long, won't take long
CHORUS
'Cause someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday
But now, I know you can tell
I'm down and I'm not doin' well

'Cause someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place, Ooh
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, I know someone's gonna be there
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday
Ahh yeah yeah

Madly Crazy, Crazily Mad
Call it crazy, call it mad. I watched three concerts on 3 consecutive weekends after I got back from Manila vacation. I paid for two and the other one was free because the intended person does not know the band. Post-concert syndrome: I've been in LSS mood for quite some time, too many tunes playing in my head.
And what's the cure of addiction - another addiction. I heard from my friend that she went to KTV alone one afternoon and sang her heart out. I was very surprised and laughing hard, wow 'pwede pala yon'. So I just did the same. Went to Kbox one Saturday and sang for 3 straight hours by myself. And yet, bitin pa rin! One good thing about Singaporeans, they dont stare at you for your crazy deeds. Everyone minds his own business. My cup of tea, this is a free country! :)
Moral lesson: Do as your heart fancies!
P.S. To bad I have sore throat, I would love to pay another visit soon.

Hazy Sky
Sad love songs in Chinese seem to have some attracting powers on me. I get hooked and LSSed whenever I hear one. It's the melody, the lyrics (of course parallelism again hehe) Time to practice my Mandarin transalation again.
Hazy Sky
If you dont appear again
My world wont have something precious to look forward to
But it's a pity there's not enough time
To let us explore what forever means
Thinking of you becomes missing you
A heart beating fast becomes a breaking heart
But still cant help but to be concerned
Whose arms would you be in the end
My sky is a bit hazy today
My heart is in autumn season leaves-a-falling
I don't know how to get through tonight
All the lights have gone off early
If you never appear in my life
Will I be happier
But the harsh element of time
Has dissolved all the promises
天灰 by SHE
如果你不再出现
我的世界还有什么可贵
可惜不够时间
让我们试验什么叫永远
想念变成怀念
心动变成心碎
偏偏还会关切
你最后属于谁
我的天空今天有点灰
我的心是个落叶的季节
我不知道如何度过今夜
所有的灯早已经全都熄灭
如果你从没出现
我会不会觉得快乐一些
可惜残忍时间
总要把诺言一点点摧毁
This song has nothing to do with me, my lovelife is zero. :p

The First Musical Instrument Class
I once wished that I'd be able to play at least one musical instrument.
Last Saturday, I finally went to sign up for a musical instrument class. As I mentioned many times, I dont fancy the common things ;p. Guess which one I signed up for?
Dan dan dan dan...
Guzheng. :p
It's an old classical musical instrument of Chinese origins. The type of instrument that the typical long-haired leading ladies of 'flying' chinese movies would play. Flying here means lipad-lipad na olden setting, like 'Love of the Condor Heroes' (if i remember the title correctly.
Besides, it's the closest I can get to a piano. Piano courses here are absurdly expensive. Piano was actually my first attempt in 2004, but I stopped after 3 classes. Tinamad gumising nang maaga.
I hope I'd manage to play some basic tunes with this guzheng. Wish me luck. :) and oh probably someone should lend me this 'flying' costume, I want a picture like that taken while playing hehehe.

Special thanks to Jay Zhou's video, gee he really does have a wide fan base (na walang magawa kundi magbrowse ng mga videos nya sa youtube, kaya ako umabot ng 10K views? hehe). One word to describe watching his concert ---- SURREAL. He got me hooked up!

Recommended Song (Chinese)
For the past few weeks, I've been having LSS with this Chinese song. I like both the melody and the lyrics. It is a very sad song. I usually find Chinese songs to be more substantial as they can squeeze in some stories into the lyrics, whereas English songs are much more shallow (that's just my opinion).
Though I dont think I have been to such heart-breaking experiences, somehow I feel I can relate to such behavior.. (hehe can't help it, I'm trapped on a rainy day, feeling blue just today, blame it on the weather) :p
街角的祝福 - 戴佩妮
多少个秋多少个冬
我几乎快要被治愈好
但还是会只因为一个重覆的话题
就无心自扰
也曾想过
若真遇见我们应该如何是好
我想我还是会站在某一个街角
不让你看到
只因为我不想打扰
只因为怕你解释不了
只因为现在你的眼睛里
她比我还重要
我只好假装我看不到
看不到你和她在对街拥抱
你的快乐我可以感受得到
这样的见面方式对谁都好
我只好假装我听不到
听不到别人口中的她好不好
再不想问也不想被通知到
反正你的世界我管不了
若不想问若不想被通知到
就把祝福留在街角
My best attempt to translate the lyrics. (The Mandarin words are much more meaningful/expressive, the converted English version might sound a bit bland/corny) :)
Happiness in the Corners
I cant remember how many autumns, how many winters
I thought I was already almost cured
But because of a single recurrence of a familiar topic
Unknowingly, I just got myself burdened again
I have also thought about it
If we do meet again, how should we be?
I believe I will still just stand at one corner
And not let you see me
Because I don't want to disturb
Because I'm lost for words to explain
Because in your eyes, I can see
That to you, she's more important than me
I can only pretend I didn't see
Didn't see you across the streets, hugging her
The happiness you have now, I can somehow feel it
This way of meeting would be the best for both of us
I can only pretend I didn't hear
Didn't hear other people's comments of how good she is
I don't want to ask, I also don't want to be notified
Since your world is something I can never get in
coda:
If I really don't want to ask, if I really don't want to be notified
then probably I just have to leave this happiness in the corners.
P.S. To be more accurate, the 'happiness' word here refers to well wishes, or congratulations/good luck. (But I just couldnt put it as 'Well Wishes in the Corners' as it sounds more confusing) Sometimes there is no direct translation for certain words. Anyway, bottomline is the girl just wanted to wish the guy to be happy, silently in one corner. :)
P.P.S. Just to add, the singer of this song is Penny Dai - known for singing Meteor Garden's Closing Song 'Ni Yao De Ai'.

Jolin
During the Holy Week vacation, to avoid the loneliness of shutting myself in the hotel room, I decided to watch a concert in the Indoor Stadium. Yes it's a Chinese pop star. :) (Fine, GI na kung GI hehe)
Overall, the concert is worth it. The nice songs, the different dance moves. Malambot ang katawan talaga.
Jolin Tsai, 27 years old, has a track record of top grosser hit charts in Asia. She's probably the most famous singer in Taiwan. I find her voice pleasant and striking, she started with mellow love songs and later branched out to her dancing career. Watch her moves, try to download her MVs in limewire or youtube. :)
Probably there are just 2 Taiwan pop stars that could get me shell out money from my own pocket to watch a concert. One is Jolin and the other is Jay. Jay I would say is a very talented composer, his voice is more of R&B style and modern. He composes his own songs and directs his music videos. They actually make a good pair. :)
