Queen - 'Under Pressure' live @ The Montreal Forum, Quebec, Canada (Nov.24,'81)

Ang cute nito. The girl with the camera in front row looked so sweet and beautiful then; so starstruck. As one fan put it, "I really wish to find someone who (looks at) me in the same way the girl (at) 0:03 (looks at) Freddie". –Yeah, me too. Hihihi… She’s “immortalized on film” @ 0:03-0:08, actually. Gorgeous but still tender; not noisy like other members of the audience. Mahinhin pa rin ang reaksyon. So pretty. <3 <3 <3

"UNDER PRESSURE" by Queen

Mm bum ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bum da da du da
Tuga dun tuga dun

Pressure… pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure, that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bum ba ba bep
Ba ba bep
Dee day doh
Ee day doh… that's okay!

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, “Let me out!”
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Day day de...
Day da da da de

Trippin' around, kick my brains ‘round the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours

Ee doh da dep
Ee doh da da dap
Ee doh dep
De dap

People on streets, dee da dee da dep
People on streets, dee da dee dat dee dat dee dat

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, “Let me out!”
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high…
Pressure on people, people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence, but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why… why… why?

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love?

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves,
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure
Under pressure

Pressure…

December Avenue feat. Moira Dela Torre - Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)



I used to want this kind of love when I was a kid, despite the fact that we had a lack of same-age-group-girl-neighbors. The music video is quite honest. Closer to truth. Even though your neighbors themselves root for you two, the childhood-sweethearts/besties-turned-real-life-lovers seldom happens. Simple but awesome storytelling. Marami na talagang magagaling na cinematographers ngayon. It's a good thing the casting director and/or producer/s are having less discrimination over plus-size (lead) actors with this one here. Keep it up! I just hope this opens up more doors for "unconventional-looking" but deserving actors, especially here in the Philippines. Makaka-relate lang ba ako dahil mataba yung lalaki? HAHAHA!!!

Grabe, fan na talaga ako ni Moira. HAHAHA!!! Although we know generally that pop culture love songs nowadays sound like more of the same thing over and over, we are still suckers for these (otherwise "relatable") concepts of frustration and failure.

This truly is the #hugot generation. HAHAHA!!!

I Miss Alcohol... Markers, That Is!

(I do not own the video)

I miss this. Old school but still cool.

(This guy isn’t really a famous expert – he just happens to have the skill and the social media channels).

I was never able to master the use of alcohol-based markers in college; they’re very expensive! I nevertheless loved utilizing the few that I had for shades & shadows, to give depth to rather 2-dimensional elevations and plans. Zig Kurecolor was the best brand then. Or is it still? Some of my classmates doodled with so much ease. Graphics proficiency truly is a talent! I enjoy just watching the transition progress. So mesmerizing. From a blank piece of paper to a “playful” representation of something built / to-be-built. This kind of illustrating works especially for initial talks with a client. Some designers sketch ideas instantaneously right in front of the client.

I gave up trying to be a full-fledged architect more than a decade ago, after I failed the licensure examinations for the third time in a span of four years. It finally sunk in… it wasn’t meant to be. *sigh* L


“If you give up on it, maybe you don’t really want it enough!”OR Maybe the effects of some of the things we want in life aren’t really good for us. NEED is different from WANT, after all…

Skid Row - I Remember You (Official Music Video)

Cheesy glam metal love song. The treble is very sharp to the ears. My childhood friends and I always laughed at how Sebastian Bach looked like a “beautiful” man. HAHAHAHA!!!!

(I DO NOT OWN THE VIDEO)

“I REMEMBER YOU” by Skid Row

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain,
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you.
And all the tears you cried that called my name.
And when you needed me, I came through…

I paint a picture of the days gone by,
When love went blind and you would make me see.
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes,
So that I knew that you were there for me.
Time after time, you were there for me.

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand… I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day,
I'd wanna hear you say, “I remember you”, Ooooohhhh…

We spent the summer with the top rolled down,
Wished ever after would be like this.
You said "I love you, babe" without a sound.
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss.
I'd live for your smile, and die for your kiss.

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand… I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day.
I'd wanna hear you say, ”I remember you”, ooohhh....

We've had our share of hard times,
But that's the price we paid.
And through it all, we kept the promise that we made.

I swear you'll never be lonely.


Oooohhhh….
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain,
Washed away a dream of you.
But nothing else could ever take you away.
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true,
Oh my darling, I love you!

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand… I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day.
I'd wanna hear you say, “I remember you”.

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand… I remember you.
Throughout the sleepless nights, through every endless day.
I'd wanna hear you say, “I remember, I remember you”
Oooohhhh uuuuhhhh…. yeah! Wooooaaahhh, yeah…
