Ang iPod at ako!

Hindi ako magaling kumanta, hindi ko rin pwedeng sabihing marunong ako. Oo, adik ako sa music at mamamatay ako pag wala akong dalang iPod pag lalabas ako ng bahay. Minsan kahit wala akong earphone feeling ko meron! Nagagalit na nga Nanay ko, minsan kasi dada sya ng dada di ko naman naririnig. LOL! :) Bingi na nga yata ko kasi pag nakikinig ako Volumes Up to the Max! hahaha..

Mahilig ako sa lumang kanta. May ibang kanta na sumikat noong panahon pa ng 70' and 80's pero hindi ibig sabihin eh naabutan ko nung sumikat ang mga kantang ito. Masarap lang pakinggan yung luma. Kalmado lang. Steady kumbaga! Chill lang! Iba ang lumang music, may mararamdaman kang passion sa kumakanta, may hugot sa puso, at may pagbibigay halaga sa salitang damdamin. Siguro dahil kokontii lang ang singers dati kaya magagaling sila. Ngayon kasi kahit "Boses Plemahin" basta sikat gagawan ng album. Susmaryosep!

Rock, Alternative at Punk. nagulat ba kayo? Pero totoo, mahilig din ako sa ganitong klaseng music. Hindi naman kasi ko minsan nagjajudge ng kanta base sa beat, sa ganda ng melody pero dahil gusto ko yung lyrics at meaning nung kanta.

Lovesongs. Minsan feel na feel ko makinig kahit yung sinasabi nung kanta eh di ko pa naranasan. Masarap lang makinig minsan para feel mo na din nain-love ka o inlove ka! Once in a while masarap kiligin! chos! Music is my boyfriend ang drama rama!

Christian songs. Eto hindi ko na mabilang ang nagtanong sakin ng , "Born Again ka teh?" tuwing pineplay ko o nakikinig ako sa Hillsongs United. I'm Catholic! Masarap lang talaga pakinggan kanta nila. Nakakainspire! Nakaka-goodvibes! Try nyo! Matutuwa si Papa God! :)

Pop. RNB. Hiphop. peyborit ko mga genre na toh! Nakakaboost ng energy. Nakakarelax. Kahit minsan di maganda ung lyrics pero maganda yung beat/melody pak na!

OPM. still OPM rocks! Tangkilikin ang sariling atin. Pero minsan nakakalungkot lang kasi madami ngayon artists gumagawa na lang ng revivals o cover ng ibang artists. Sana madami pa yung gumawa ng originals. Magaling ang mga Pinoy. We are all musically inclined. Kumbaga na sa atin dugo na yung love for music. KAhit anong emosyon, kahit anong sitwasyon meron kanta dyan ang Pinoy!

Weird man ang choice of music ko, or masyado mang malawak ang trip kung music sa buhay. Isa lang ang mahalaga para sa akin, ang music ay parang "Vitamins" ng buhay. Hindi ibig sabihing pag malungkot ang kanta ay malungkot din ang mood mo, minsan may mga mahahalagang mga pangyayari sa buhay natin ang ating naaalala dahil sa mga kanta. Hindi dahil sa mensahe ng kanta mismo, pero dahil eto ang kanta ng nangyari ito, o eto ang kanta sa FX/jeep na sinasakyan mo papuntang MRT, habang katabi mo ang kras mo.

Kahit minsan, hindi tayo iniwan ng musika, andiyan sila sa bawat gabing unan lang ang kasama, sa gabing sumisigaw ka sa buong mundo na masaya ka, andiyan siya sa bawat pagkikita ng magkaka-ibigan, sa lahat ng reunion, sa lahat ng family gathering at kahit sa mismong Kasal o sa Kamatayan. Sa bawat mahalagang parte ng buhay mo.

Baket????

Bakit sa panahon ngayon ang internet ay isa ng necessity sa buhay na pag nawala parang sobrang kulang na ang araw.. Ako, aminado ako na daily routine ko na sya.. Kumbaga nakalista na sya sa Activities of Daily Living ko.. Pag hindi ako nakapaglog-in sa Facebook at Tumblr in a day, hindi ako mapakali.. Parang kulang lagi.. Saka pag ngayon, pag minsan may pumasok sa isip ko at gusto kong sabihin hindi ko maiwasan i-post toh dito sa Tumblr or sa FB.. Masaya pero minsan napapaisip ako bakit parang magnet sya na pilit kang hinihila.. Ilang beses ko na sinabi I will abstain on using internet pero bigo ako.. Kasi sa work ko pag wala ako magawa haharap lang ako sa computer at magiinternet na.. Pampalipas oras na! At boom! Tumblr at FB lagi ang una kong inoopen. Baket???? And I don’t know why! LOL!

Kahapon pinost ko yung video about Social Networking Etiquette! Guilty ako dun kasi ung iba dun ginagawa ko pero may ilang tao na sumusobra naman.. At lahat ng sobra ay masama.. Tama na yung nagpost ka ng pictures sa album sa FB.. Pero wag naman ung ipopost mo pa ulit ito isa-isa via share.. Hayaan mo na lang buksan ung album mo ng gustong tumingin. Tama na ung nagpost ka dito sa tumblr pero wag mo na iconnect sa FB.. kasi pinost mo na dito ipopost mo pa sa FB.. tapos ung pinost mo sa twitter nakakonek din sa FB.. nagflaflood ka na! At minsan sabay2 mo silang gamit lahat! pagbigyan mo naman ung ibang post ng iba na makita! Kung may galit ka dun mo ipost sa wall ng kaaway mo wag sa Newsfeed! Kasi wala kaming pakialam sa kaaway mo.. Kayong dalawa ang mag-usap! Meron din naman, sila na nagpost sila din maglalike sila din nagcocomment sa post nila. Paulit-ulit teh??? Saka nakakainis nga yung pabago-bago ng relationship status.. Ngayon in a relationship after 30 mins single after 30 mins it's complicated!!! Papansin teh???

Pero we have our freedom of speech.. Di natin maiiwasan o mapipigilan kung ano man gustong ilagay, sabihin at ipakita ng ibang tao. Ang sakin lang let’s know our limitation.. :) Minsan kasi baka tayo lang ang natutuwa pero ung mga nakakakita at nakakabasa pala hindi.. Ilagay din natin sa lugar.

Ang sa akin lang… Chos!

I love my sibs..

It’s wonderful how my sibs and I can talk now about almost anything and be each other’s confidant when before, we were each other’s constant enemies. :) We give each other advices, we cover up for each other, we make each other laugh, we discuss things over midnight snacks. And though we don’t tell that we love each other, we know we do. :)

What I look for..

sabi ni Bo, write down the traits you're looking for your "The One". so eto ang mga lists ko!

- Someone who has great sense of humor is a major major turn on for me. Kasi ako yung tipo ng tao na mababaw lang kaligayahan. Saka gusto ko laging tumatawa. Gusto ko masaya!
- Someone who is God-fearing. Syempre gusto ko yung taong may faith kay God. Importante yun sakin! Gusto ko si God yung Center namin!
- Someone who loves his family. Kasi ako family oriented. Gusto ko pag naging kami, maging close kami sa pamilya ng isa't isa. Saka sabi din nila you will know the real character of a person on how he deals with her family. Saka malalaman mo kung pano ka ittreat nung lalake on how he treats her mother and female siblings.
- Someone who has a sense of responsibility. Gusto ko yung taong may direksyon sa buhay. Yung may pangarap, yung may stable na trabaho para pag nagkapamilya kakayanin namin pareho!
- Someone who is nice. Hindi naman sobrang bait, yung sakto lang. Ayoko sa mayabang.
- Someone who will continously date me pag kami na. Yung sweet pa din kahit hindi na nanliligaw.

Ako na choosy! Hahahaha

When will it be me,,.

Sometimes, I ask that question, "When will it be me?". When will I be the one someone's dreaming of? When will I be happy because someone special is making me happy? When will I be in a relationship? pak! Sometimes, I also keep on questioning myself, "Is there something wrong with me? Why does it took so long for that someone to come into my life?" Then, I realized that maybe God is really preparing me for the best. Not really someone who is perfect but maybe someone who is really my best match!:) Someone who I may have my share of differences but we'll learn from each other, someone who may have my share of similarities and we will enjoy each and every day that we're together. Someone who is God fearing and through our faith in God, we'll last forever. Someone who has great sense of humor, who will not make any day that we're together a dull moment. Dear Lord, when he will be coming??? hahaha.. Could he come here now because I want to spend forever with him!:)

On hiatus mode on Facebook

I realized that everyday, every single day, I can't help myself to open my facebook, check it and post something on it. Yesterday, it just popped up on my mind na "Uy Germaine, adik ka na sa facebook! Post ka ng post!". So starting today, I will be on "on hiatus mode". Meaning I will minimize the times I will open it, post and comment on it! Gusto ko nga ideactivate eh pero mukang mahirap! On minimal use na lang for the meantime. LOL!

Another reason is, yung taong rason kung bakit ako nagpopost dun eh meron ng girlfriend! pak! Ayoko muna makita! (drama rama mode?)

Bye FB for now.. I will miss you and I know you'll miss me too!:)

Happily Single!

“I’m happily single. Because God is with me, I’m complete. I’m whole. I’m happy! And God is guiding me to my best path. God’s goodness and blessings follow me all the days of my life. He is guiding my decisions. And I believe I’m being prepared for marriage. I’m being trained for parenthood. I’m not just searching for the right partner, I’m also preparing myself to be the right partner for my future spouse. By becoming the best person I can become, I’m attracting that special person into my life. My future is in God’s big hands. He is now filling my future with abundance, joy, and love.”
