Fontella Bass - Rescue Me

Rescue me

Take me in your arms

Rescue me

I want your tender charm

Cause I'm lonely

And I'm blue

I need you

And your love too

Come on and rescue me

F.I.R - Blue Doors Ahead

I stand up high
Plunge in this splendid city light
There’s no one but me
With gravity I can measure life

I try to hide
From your love and pride
So many times
I found myself (lost) in this wonderland and cry

How can I define
All these blue doors ahead
Tell me secrets and then make me wild
Isn’t the true love inside

I rise and compare
My hand with this city light
There’s no one but me
And silently, I get down and smile

I try to hide
From your love and pride
So many times
I found myself (lost) in this wonderland and cry

How can I define
All these blue doors ahead
Tell me secrets and then make me wild
Isn’t the true love inside

I rise and compare
My hand with this city light
There’s no one but me
And silently, I get down and smile
I get down and smile
I get down and smile…

Ilha Formosa (Touch Your Heart)

If you haven't figured out why I've been away for three weeks (then again, it wouldn't have made any difference to my readers since I've always been away. lol) then it's time that I tell you. I've been to the beautiful island of Taiwan, and I've only been back in the Philippines a few days and dang it, I miss it already.

I miss the bus rides, I miss the hiking, I miss the food, I miss eating with chopsticks, I miss the tea (surprisingly, I do!), I miss the hotels, I miss the 7-elevens, I miss the night markets, I miss the people, I miss hearing mandarin everyday, I miss the confused look on my face, I miss my own group and batchmates, I miss the Fu Dao Yuans, I miss Taiwan!

It was basically 20 days (May 3 to May 23) just touring the country. We went from city to city, town to town, and in a matter of 6 days we've already finished the whole east side of Formosa. I can't (and won't) begin to tell you what an experience it was, because if I do, I'll never stop. All I can say is, I know that I'll be back. Taiwan, I shall return! (and I shall return fluent! Para di na ko magmukhang tanga.)

'Ilha Formosa' is portugeuse for Beautiful Island, as the country was called before they changed it to Taiwan. This song was actually only played and sung during the our last day, but it stuck just like that. Kinda like Philippine's "Biyahe Tayo" but catchier since the chorus is just repeated over and over again. Simple song, but so true. It did touch my heart.

The song in the vid is by A-mei, which isn't actually the version we kept hearing. same song though.



美麗的島嶼
張開雙手歡迎你
美食和熱情
沒有人能抗拒

台灣會是你難忘的旅程
讓所有美夢成真

Ilha Formosa
Taiwan will touch your heart
Ilha Formosa
Taiwan will touch your heart

Oh…美好風景 (在你身邊)
Oh…溫暖人情 (在心裡面)
這將會是你豐收的旅程
讓所有期待成真

Ilha Formosa
Taiwan will touch your heart
Ilha Formosa
Taiwan will touch your heart
Ilha Formosa
Taiwan will touch your heart
Taiwan will touch your heart

Jay Chou - 簡單愛 (Simple Love)

我想就這樣牽着妳的手不放開

愛可不可以簡簡單單沒有傷害

妳 靠著我的肩膀

妳 在我胸口睡覺

像這樣的生活 我愛妳 妳愛我

想~~~ 簡簡單單 愛~~~

Regina Spektor - Fidelity

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds

Catching Up...

Just listing down the songs that, of course, got stuck in my head since my last blog entry. I wasn't too hard to recall these songs since they've been soooo long in my head and in my throat ( given that I kept singing these over and over again...) but they are still some that I know I've forgotten, especially during the first sem when my only resource of music was my cd player.

I've listed these down just to start attempting to actually write entries for the songs. I hope I could do it. Though honestly, I have the feeling that won't happen. But at least I already listed them right? (They're still not in chronological order though.)

• Tryin' to get that feelin' again - Nina
• Ai Dao - Fei Lun Hai
• zhe dui ni you gan jue - Fei Lun Hai ft. Hebe
• Oo - Up Dharma Down
• Shiriusu - Kim Jeong Hoon
• (Princess Hours OST)
• Rang Wo Ai Ni - Zhou Yu Min & Da S
• Can't Take My Eyes Off of You - Lauryn Hill
• Zhi Yin Wei Ni - Nicholas Teo
• Flavor of Life - Utada Hikaru
• Griffin and Phoenix OST
• Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
• Ye Lai Xiang - Teresa Teng
• 1000 Years - Kang Eun Soo
• The Way It Is - Mieka Pauley
• Hawak Kamay - Yeng Constantino
• Jigsaw - G-force (Kalai Tunes)
• I Don't Know How To Love Him - Jesus Christ Superstar
• Time of Season - Blake Lewis
• Doh Bah! - The Pussycat Dolls
• Everything - Michael Buble
• Always Open - S.H.E.
• My Humps - Alanis Morisette (I'm not kidding.)

It seems almost impossible to resuscitate this blog as my summer blog. Apparently almost half of my summer is over and I still haven't done much here. Plus, starting May 1, I won't be here to update. for 3 weeks. *sigh* I'll be back May 24. By then, I'll only have one week of summer left. Although I could try to blog during the sem, that would be highly unlikely. tamad mag-aral, tmad rin mag-blog. haha.

Sandy e Junior - Turu Turu (Quando Voce Passa)

"Turu Turu (Quando Você Passa)"

 

Sandy and Junior

Composed by Francisco Boccia, Gianfranco Calliendo, Ciro Esposito

Sandy e Junior (2001)

 

 

Gen, you know very well that this is because of you. XD

Esse turu,turu,turu ,aqui dentro

Que faz turu turu,quando você passa

Meu olhar decora cada movimento

Até seu sorriso me deixa sem graça

Se eu pudesse te prender

Dominar seus sentimentos

Controlar seus passos

Ler sua agenda e pensamento

Mas meu frágil coração

Acelera o batimento

E faz turu,turu,turu,turu,turu,turu,tu

Se esse turu tatuado no meu peito

Gruda e o turu,turu,turu,não tem jeito

Deixa sua marca no meu dia-a-dia

Nesse misto de prazer e agonia

Nem estou dormindo mais

Já não saio com os amigos

Sinto falta dessa paz

Que encontrei no seu sorriso

Qualquer coisa entre nós

Vem crescendo pouco a pouco

E já não nos deixa sós

Isso vai nos deixar loucos

Se é amor ,sei lá

Só sei que sem você parei de respirar

E é você chegar

Pra esse turu,turu,turu,turu vir me atormentar

Eu desisto de entender

É um sinal que estamos vivos

Pra esse amor que vai crescer

Não há lógica nos livros

E quem poderá prever

Um romance imprevisível

Com um turu,turu,turu,turu,turu,turu,tu

UPDATE [02.10.2011]:

Worry
