crazy

It seems lately I've been crazy over acoustic songs...
Listen to this sexy swoon-worthy cover of Gnarls Barkley's song by Ray Lamontagne.

God, I love his voice!

dedicated to the month and the weather...

the video is somehow cut off at the end, but otherwise, enjoy this acoustic cover of the Guns N' Roses song :)

blackbird

It’s a rock ballad by Alter Bridge, so I guess not everyone would enjoy it as much as I do.

First heard the song during an extremely emotional period. Simply love the lyrics, the voice and the build up of melody… Somehow ‘Blackbird’ to me, represented my heart that had lost its way…

As I revisit the song, I’m praying hard for all my hearties…

May love return and our hearts never be broken again.




Can’t find the official video online, but I hope this will do.

single ladies

All the single ladies! Now put your hands up if you've caught Beyonce's original 'Single Ladies' music video. If you haven't, perhaps you might like to watch it here before you watch the second video below.

the way I am

I'm in love with this song.

Listen to her smooth vocals:
"The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson



...................................................................................

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine if you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.

gabe bondoc

Fell in love the moment I heard him. Especially love the lyrics of his original songs.

Here's the oh-so-adorable singer songwriter with the first song I heard, "Dorm Room"




"Dictionary" makes me smile... cool concept :)




And "Temporary" almost made me tear

nothing compares

A friend asked me the other day, “How can I compete with my boyfriend’s exes?”
I really would’ve replied, “Do you really have to because, they wouldn’t have ended up being exes now, would they?”

But I didn’t cos I suppose it’s a valid question. Her new beau had quite a few partners before. And it’s natural to want to know how we measure up in the eyes of someone who’s been dating a lot or has been in multiple relationships. I mean it would really suck to believe all this while that you’re good at something or bringing something positive to the relationship only to learn that his ex was way better than you at it. What better way to feel confident, huh?

I don’t remember how I answered her. But I remember this – once I asked a friend how many girlfriends he had. His answer… “It doesn’t matter because only one girl mattered.”

Oh, I wonder if that girl knew she had such a strong hold on him still... Which leads me to the question – what makes us drawn to a particular person?

There’s no definite answer of course, everyone is different in personality and character and definitely has different tastes. But seriously, have you ever wondered - of all the persons you’ve ever had a crush on, or dated or loved, who mattered to you most? Why?

Why is that one person so special to you…

That you would kick yourself for all the things you did or did not do…

That you wished you didn't let go...

That you can never ever forget…

That you never found anyone else who came close...

I gave it some thought and decided that if that same friend asked me the same question again (which is highly probable, as she has a habit of repeating herself), I would tell her (or anyone who wondered the same thing as she did) this:

It’s human nature to compare. But instead of comparing yourself to someone’s exes, try measuring yourself up against him/her. Think of all the wonderful things he/she has done/ given to you; can you honestly say that you’d have brought equal, if not more positivity into his/her life?

How would YOU fare against him/her?

Cos really, I think that’s the only comparison that ever matters.


With that, let me leave you with this lovely song:
