Beach

We sat on a beach, facing the ocean.

I looked from side to side… the coastline was vast. There were no people or nearby structures at our back, only a dense jungle. It was like we were on a deserted island.

You talked softly this time:

“Please hold my hand and never let go.”

“Oo naman…”, I replied.

You caressed your cheek against my shoulder and laid your head onto it afterwards. I responded with laying my head on yours. My brain must have been hard at work because I could feel your warmth beside me.

This is one of those moments when I wish it was real and don’t want it to end anymore. But my sleep has already been long and we all have to eventually wake up. It was very much like that other dream, only in a different setting. It’s way past noon and people have had their lunch. Here I am wondering why I keep dreaming like this, when it was you who said that you’re planning to marry your fiancé this coming ICC.

What I feel for you has not changed. It has remained the same all these years. But what should I do? Maybe wait for November and see what happens. Then maybe I’ll take it from there.

Take care of yourself. I am always here.

May God bless you and keep you all the days of your life. 🙏💗

The Juans perform “Alam Niya" LIVE on Wish 107.5 Bus

Mas gusto ko yung mas "toned down" unplugged version, pero maganda pa rin talaga ito. 😁😀😊

LANY - ILYSB (LIVE on The Loop)

I'm lovin' this toned down live version... 💓💗💓

"ILYSB" by LANY

Ain't never felt this way

Can't get enough so stay with me

It's not like we got big plans

Let's drive around town holding hands

And you need to know

You're the only one, alright... alright

And you need to know

That you keep me up all night, all night

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

Oh, oh my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

Mad cool in all my clothes

Mad warm when you get close...to me

Slow dance these summer nights

Our disco ball's my kitchen light

And you need to know

That nobody could take your place, your place

And you need to know

That I'm hella obsessed with your face, your face

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

Oh, oh my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

Oh, oh my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

And you need to know

You're the only one - alright, alright

And you need to know

That you keep me up all night, all night

My heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

Oh, oh my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad...

So bad, oh

Oh, my heart hurts...

Oh, my heart hurts...

Oh, my heart hurts...

So bad, oh...

"Park"

Nasilaw ako sa sinag ng araw.

Nakaupo tayo sa isang bench sa isang park. Maliwanag at maaliwalas, pero walang katao-tao… para bang tayong dalawa lang ang nakakaalam ng lugar na iyon. Matagal tayong tahimik.

Sa hindi malamang dahilan, bigla kong sinabi: “Ikinahihiya mo ba ako?”

Hindi ka umimik. Bigla ka na lang umiyak sa balikat ko at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. Napaluha rin ako.

Dala-dala ko ang “pangungulila” hanggang sa paggising ko… isang walang kabuluhang panaginip, pero ang lalim ng lungkot.

Sana maligaya ka sa mga oras na ito.

Ed Sheeran - AFTERGLOW

U2 "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" FANTASTIC VERSION / Anaheim / June 18th...

My current LSS.... from one of the most enduring international pop rock bands of all time, from probably their best album ever (Achtung Baby).

I always imagined this tune to be perfect background music for ramp models on the catwalk. It was only when U2 performed here in The Philippines last 2019 that I discovered this song is actually about the strong women in our lives. It's sad that it got politically-tainted really fast. Oh, well... we all have our different opinions about everything.

I only have my Mother and "masungit" Titas from my father's side of the family. HAHAHA!!!

December Avenue - Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Carissa Ramos is 💗💗💗

"Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig"

Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay na para bang wala nang papalit sayo

Nasan ka man, sigaw ng puso ko'y ikaw hanggang ngayon... whaoh

Kung sana lamang ay nakita mo ang lungkot sa'yong ngiti, isang umagang 'di ka nagbalik

Gumising ka at nang makita mo ang tamis ng sandali ng kahapong di magbabalik

Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan

Hanggang ang puso'y wala nang nararamdaman

Kahit matapos ang magpakailan pa man

Ako'y maghihintay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig

Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay na para bang walang iba sa piling mo

Nasan ka man sigaw ng puso ko ay ang pangalan mo... whaoh

Kung sana lamang ay nakita mo ang lungkot sa'yong ngiti, isang umagang 'di ka nagbalik

Gumising ka at nang makita mo ang tamis ng sandali ng kahapong di magbabalik

Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan

Hanggang ang puso'y wala nang nararamdaman

Kahit matapos ang magpakailan pa man

Ako'y maghihintay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig

Hanggang kailan pa ba magtitiis, nalunod na sa kaiisip

Huling kapiling ka'y sa aking panaginip

Ikaw mula noon, ikaw hanggang ngayon

Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan

Hanggang ang puso'y wala nang maramdaman

Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan

Hanggang ang puso'y wala nang nararamdaman

Kahit matapos ang magpakailan pa man

Ako'y maghihintay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig

Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan

Hanggang ang puso'y wala nang nararamdaman

Kahit matapos ang magpakailan pa man

Ako'y maghihintay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig mo

Armi Millare - Wrong

Armi Millare is a true poet.

I didn't like her songs back in the day... until I met you.

Because I knew you were a fan even before, in and out of UDD

So heartbreakingly ironic and metaphorical,

Some of her material bring me into a deep trance:

The real essence of "alternative".

Armi, continue to make works of art.

Although I may not understand all the words,

How they are clustered together and what they mean,

I appreciate the music.

I miss you madly. And I don't know what to do.

All I know is that I still love you. And that I can't let go.

May God bless you and keep you always.
