      • Turf Wars - Lying Doggo at El Robbo

        If I had another career, I think I'd very much prefer to be in theater. My parents rocked the stage. When they were young adults, they were mostly preoccupied with theater. However, I found myself shying away from the stage. When I was in high school, I preferred to stay in the shadows. I liked to shine, but I did not like the stage as the place to shine.

        If I could go back, I might have been better. Maybe I would appreciated theater a lot more. However, I don't regret taking the path I chose. Somewhere along the way, I know I made a right turn.

    • Walking and Humming Down Memory Lane

      • It's Like That by Mariah Carey

        I remember my CVG days with this song. I remember hanging out my friends Barbie, Kit, Marites, Ionnie, and the rest of our teammates from Mark Millan's team. I remember riding in Barbie's car, heading to wherever was our destination for the night. I remember lunch break in different locations, breakfasts at the IT Park, Bo's or Starbucks. I remember hanging out the the CVG Banawa lobby, smoking our lung out.

        Only One by Big Mountain

        This reminds me so much of my CVG training days. I was introduced to Ska by my wave mates then. I have to thank them for doing so. I would never hear enough of this song even if I play this all day. I just love the song.

        Hate That I Love You by Rihanna

        Jeffrey and I did not have a perfect beginning. We messed up a lot of things when we started. I remember being emotional every time I hear this song. It was actually weird because the song had a lively beat, yet every time I heard it, I always become depressed. Thank GOD those moments are now far behind.

    • My Kind of Music

      • I'd gladly be an advocate for A Fine Frenzy. I love the songs, the words, the melody. If I want to have an emotional moment, this is the artist I'd love to listen to.

        Not all of my friends have heard of the songs from A Fine Frenzy. But I'd patiently let them listen too, so they too will know why the songs from this artist are all special to me


        Near To You by A Fine Frenzy

        I've always loved the music of A Fine Frenzy. I think this song is a good example of their music. If anyone has read the lyrics to this song, they will understand why I love it. More so, if anyone has ever heard of this song, they will know why I think this song rocks. There's just a lot of emotion in it.

        In Filipino, we call it "panakip-butas" or somebody who fills the void that was left by someone else. We love these people, but we always love the other more. We love them because they heal the wound that the one before them left, but we will never love them quite as much as the one before.

        This is the theme of the song. I can't say I can relate to the song because I totally cannot. I just think it's such a heartbreak to love someone but know deep inside you that he will never be that person you'd give your whole heart to because someone else already became that person and because your heart will never be whole again.

        Ashes and Wine by A Fine Frenzy

        Let me just share some lines form the song that I think really stood out for me.

        "Don't know what to do anymore; I've lost the only love worth fighting for."

        "It's such a shame to let you walk away."

        "I've got no claim on you now."


        I hope that's enough of an explanation.

        Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

        My favorite line is the one that says "Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life."

        The hardest goodbye, the hardest ones to let go of are those that have never really even been yours to start off. Those who make us feel loved, special, and worthy but eventually end up leaving us, those are the hardest ones to forget.
