i won't give up

sa panahon ngayon, bihira na yung mga kantang may "sense". konti na lang talaga yung kantang mapapa-oh shit ka sa ganda. kung meron man, hindi ganun ka-sikat kasi mas pinapaboran ng madlang pipol yung mga kantang upbeat at pang-party. 

karamihan kasi ng magagandang kanta pati magagaling na singer ay underrated. hindi man lahat, pero mas pinipili kasi ng tenga nung ibang tao yung "in" sa panlasa ng karamihan.

iba-iba naman tayo ng trip na kanta eh. nasulat ko lang yung nasa taas para may intro ako sa entry na 'to. hehe

january 2 ng lumabas 'tong kanta ni Jason Mraz na "I Won't Give Up" sa YouTube, at naging instant hit agad ito. nag-trending pa sa twitter at magaganda ang reviews ng mga critics dito. 

the lyrics are amazing, the melody is relaxing and jason's voice is perfect. (wow english, feeling critic haha)

nung narinig ko 'to, na-LSS agad ako. and i hope to do a cover of this one soon (feeling singer naman haha). okay, nuff said. here you go. :D

"I Won't Give Up"

by Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

There's so much they hold

And just like them old stars

I see that you've come so far

To be right where you are

How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space

To do some navigating

I'll be here patiently waiting

To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn

Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn

God knows we're worth it

No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use

The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend

For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn

We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in

I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not

And who I am

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)

God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)

We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)

God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

what if?

what if it's too late?


....


what would you do when you realized that the person you have taken for granted turns out to be the one you've been looking for all this time, but that person has already found someone and they're already happy?


it sucks, right? hello, regret! hello, disappointments! 


and the reason behind all this shit was that you were too "afraid" to fall in love that time due to some traumatic experiences in the past.


sounds pathetic, i know, but you can't blame me. after all, i'm not a risk-taker, well, except now, coz i finally realized that nothing will happen if i'll stay comfy and relaxed within my comfort zone.


do you think it's too late for me to make a move? well, i think they're not yet "official" but whenever i see their pictures on FB (thanks FB for makin me feel jealous, LOL) they seem very happy together. i'm not sure, coz it's normal for people to smile and look happy on pictures, but their's, hmmmm, there's something fishy going on between them. assuming? i don't know. gut feeling? yeah, probably, i can trust it sometimes.


there's more. one time, while i was scanning her profile, i saw a post from that guy and holy gamowlee (i just invented that word coz i can't think of any adjective to describe how "holy" that post was), he was waaaaaaaaaay too sweet than an ordinary friend could ever be and he even used a term-of-endearment-shit to address her. well, the good thing was she didn't like that post nor left a comment. but that doesn't mean she didn't feel *kilig* while reading that post.


*bling* *bling* you could see a big "I'M-JEALOUS-AS-FUCK" sign on my forehead while writing this, but hey, you can't blame me, eh?! :P


i liked that girl, even until now, but i never had the courage to let her know how i felt. she was a classmate during 2nd year college and after that, even if we weren't classmates anymore, we still see each other coz our school wasn't that big and we have common friends which makes it easier for me to see her but whenever we're talking, damn, i can't help but be torpe. i guess i don't need to describe how a torpe guy acts, alam niyo na yan.:D


now, what can you say? i'm stupid, right? well, we do stupid things sometimes. but mine's a loooooooot worse, isn't it? haha :D


so, what will happen to my i'm-torpe-so-now-i'm-suffering story? i have no idea.


but now, to be honest, i feel shitty. regret's fillin me and it has made a deep hole within me. i'm so disappointed. i'm weak. i'm lame. a lot of "if-only's" are running in my head. but, i think, it's too late......


i guess all i need to do now is to accept the fact that i let her slip away because of my katorpehan and embrace the repercussions of my own stupidity. i'm happy that she's happy, that sounds martir, but that's life. well, i'm proud to say that i've learned my lessons and i hope to never do the same mistake again.


so, to all the torpes out there, 4 things:
-take risks
-set aside the "what-if's"
-don't be afraid
-be confident!


let's rock and roll. :)
