music and champagneproblems

music serves man in many ways. it is therapeutic, comforting, and calming. we use music to express the longings and desires of our hearts as humans. music is a language that can be used by people without fear of being misunderstood.

it is the air we breathe and the thoughts we think. it is the melodies that beat to the tune of our hearts. it is the universal language that we can all understand and relate to, even when our personal definitions vary.

music is a very important part of my world and without it I don't know how I would have come as far as I have.

music is the voice we long for when we can't find the words to speak. many people will agree that there are songs that were written just for them. songs can sometimes say things better than we could have said them. they can express our emotions though we didn't really know we felt that way. music can put things into perspective for us.

music speaks to our emotions. it takes us back. music can evoke our memories. it can remind us of the happy times. music can help us relate to experiences. it makes us happy or brings tears to our eyes. music is a link to our soul.

music soothes and relaxes us. music is a great way to unwind. it helps us feel better when we are blue. it comforts us when we are lonely yet it makes us realize that we aren't alone.

music is as important to me as breathing and food. it is my escape, my comfort, and my inspiration.

p.s i'm listening to this song while writing this entry. it's amazing how music inspires people. napa-english tuloy ako. hahaha :D

speaking of music, i would like to share a band who i think has the potential to be great and famous in the music industry. (wow ha, bigat niyan) 

i don't know, i just believe that they could make it big with proper exposure and continuous support. 

i think one important thing any singer or band should have is the ability to sing from the heart. coz for me, singing is like telling a story. and i think this band has that ability, the ability to touch people through their music.

one time, while i was listening to one of their covers, i felt like being punched by an invisible force coz i really felt the song they were singing. i immediately texted their vocalist and told her how great their cover was.

ok, too much of that. to all the readers of this blog, i'd like you to meet...

single awareness month

kapag dumadating ang buwan ng February, karamihan sa mga single ay bigla na lang nagkakaroon ng selective amnesia, ipinaglilihi sa ampalaya, nagtatayo ng mga samahan at nawawalan ng 14 sa kalendaryo. eto kasi yung panahon kung saan puno ng mga korteng pusong kartolina at bulaklak ang mga malls, pa-sweet ang mga kanta sa radyo, mabenta ang mga bulaklak at chocolates at malakas ang kita ng sogo. ano nga bang meron? teka.......hmmmmm.... ano nga ba? di ko rin alam eh. hahaha 

nagpupunta sa mall mag-isa, allergic sa mga mag-syotang wagas kung mag-*tooot* sa harap mo, nagbabasa ng Precious Hearts Romances pocketbooks, yakap ang sarili habang naglalakad sa Bay Walk sa Roxas Blvd., nakatanaw sa Manila Bay, slow-mo ang paligid habang kumakanta si Eric Santos sa background. yan ang karaniwang eksena ng mga single. magiiba pa yang mga eksena na yan kapag umuulan at malamig ang panahon. 

repost

i didn't write this. i just want to share this beautiful entry to you guys, my avid readers-slash-followers. i saw this from somebody else's blog and i was affected by how that person has written this entry. his (coz i think he's a guy) words are deep and moving, you could actually feel his pain, it's as if he's in front of you telling you what happened . hands down to this guy. mabuhay ka! :D

Twisted Love.

We all have our weaknesses, some more vulnerable than others. Mine, well I have this tendency to put up with being treated horribly but I stand there and take it because I’m afraid if I change it I’ll lose someone I care about. I guess I’m not the only one who has this tendency.

I’ll stand there and be hurt over and over almost in a masochistic fashion, and at times I hurt you back but the pain never compares to one that I would feel if I had lost you completely. It’s just a trap we’ve found ourselves in and maybe we love the way it is, and we don’t want it to change. So hurt me, inflict whatever pain you wish and watch me come crawling back just to hear you say those words that numb my pain more than anything.

Your words however cruel, however painful fade to nothing when you tell me you love me. Your cuts, however deep heal the moment you hold me. Somehow they make me stronger in the eyes of the outside world. I’m like a lost puppy, you kick me, you can torture me but I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth because I don’t belong anywhere else. A lifetime of pain is made up for by a few single moments where you show me affection. Maybe I’m crazy but I’d bleed for years for the single second in which you make me smile.

Sometimes I question how this could ever be love. But if it makes us happy who’s to say it’s wrong? Everyone puts their own label on love. It doesn’t need to be defined, you break my heart and I break yours, but we fix it in time and I know it’s crazy and completely insane but the few moments where you make me feel loved are worth it. Love isn’t all Romeo and Juliet, it’s more of a fight with the devils inside of one another.
