Nabi. 18. UST-College of Nursing. .How - Regina Spektor
After months of first hearing this song, I still cry whenever I hear it play. I guess that this is one of the most “generic” songs by Regina but that doesn’t mean that it failed to showcase her unique style. I also think that this is one of those songs whose lyrics are very simple yet it delivered the meaning very well. The innocence and honesty of the persona singing just pierces your heart.
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
There’s a time and place
For one more sweet embrace
And is time, ooh
when it all, ooh
Went wrong
I guess you know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Oh baby
How can I begin again?
How can I try to love someone new?
Someone who isn’t you
How can our love be true?
When I’m not, ooh
I’m not over you
I guess you know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Time can come and take away the pain
But I just want my memories to remain
To hear your voice
To see your face
There’s not one moment I’d erase
You are a guest here now
So baby
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
How can I ever know why some stay and others go?
When I don’t, ooh
I don’t want you to go
I guess I know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Time can come and wash away the pain
But I just want my mind to stay the same
To hear your voice
To see your face
There’s not one moment I’d erase
You are a guest here now
So baby
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
It’s rare that I encounter such inspirational and talented spirit. Though I don’t show it that much, I know that I am a little monster deep to my core.
At one point I thought the passion that I have for these guys already faded. I thought that because I don’t have time for them anymore, and because I can’t even call myself a fan, I felt like this high-school-crazy-VIP-fangirl is no longer in me. But then, as I watched this video, I realized that my love for them never went away. It just… like, went to sleep.
This video was at the Seoul Tokyo Music Festival, way back January 2011. The songs they performed, Lies, Haru Haru and Hands Up, are songs that I literally listened to for about a thousand times already, but when I heard it again today, the fangirl in me that was sleeping finally woke up. I can’t help but sing along and do fanchants! BIGBANG looked so simple (well, compared to their current fashion), so fresh, so raw, yet they nailed the whole stage. I guess we can’t help but always go back to what makes us feel good, and what we grew up with.
And also, because of this video, I realized how much I cannot let myself miss their concert on October 24. I think I will never be able to forgive myself if the worst happens. I waited long enough for this and I’m going to keep this promise.
And yeah, you may think that maybe these words are too deep for a bunch of guys who don’t even know I exist. I may sound like I don’t have a life. But that’s okay. I’m a fangirl and I don’t really have to explain myself. Judge me, I don’t care.
Thoughts on marriage.
As much as I love watching wedding videos and wedding ceremonies itself, I cannot withdraw from thoughts of hating it at the same time. I personally blame it all on the image of marriage that I grew up with.
My parents have been separated for as long as I could remember. They dated for 7 years, and were married for 5. And it’s not just my parents. It’s practically everyone and we can see it everywhere. Sometimes couples won’t separate legally and could stay at one house but be completely indifferent of each other. Though I don’t blame my parents for ruining the image of happily ever after, I cannot completely submit to the idea of a possibility of that one love that’ll last.
Personally, Joseph Bonifacio and Rica Peralejo is one of my most favorite couples ever (thus the video of their wedding). I am amazed how much God has touched their hearts and made them so strong that even the darkest pasts, hardships of the present, and the uncertainties of the future could never break them apart. And from that I remember the passage that says “What God has joined, let no man separate”. They are perfect for each other because God made them to be. God was the center of their relationship and because of that, they really are unbreakable. TRIVIA: Their first kiss happened on the day of their wedding.
After the wedding, marriage happens, and I wonder how hard it could get. You could have the grandest and the most expensive wedding anyone could ever wish for. But what happens after the lights have gone out, the people go, and the bride and groom is left? LIFE.
I hope that I would be brave enough to face life if ever the time comes that God would gracefully give me that someone. Instead of praying for the perfect man, I pray that I could be the woman that God would want me to be. And I know I need a lot of help on that because I recognize the fact that I am not the perfect person to be with… yet.
I know that I am too young to be talking about big things like marriage. But we can never be too prepared. I know He will prove me wrong, and I know that He will write a love story better than I could ever imagine for myself. There is hope that I wouldn’t experience the same fate as my parents, or anyone who has separated, because Someone has a bigger plan for me.

“If I could choose to live my life, there’ll be no ifs to say. If I could choose to hold your hand, there’ll be no words to say. Without fear, without doubt, leave the things that seem to weaken us.”
Bamboo’s voice is just heavenly. Hands down ako sa lalakeng ‘to! Kahit na saang banda, or kahit na mag-solo pa sya, he’s still gonna shine because he has pure talent.
Kung meron mang lalakeng mang-haharana sakin at kaboses niya si Bamboo, sasagutin ko na sya agad. JOKE! Pero malay natin di ba? SANA.
February 6, 2012. Critical: CYPHER HD 2012 (UST Faculty of Arts and Letters)
So, tomorrow’s our first day of Prelims and guess what I’ve been doing. I watched CYPHER HD 2012 at the Medicine Auditorium! I know I should be studying but I just can’t help it. My friend from Critical @cyaranas invited me to watch so I had no choice and I don’t wanna be stressed out the day before the exams.
The crowd of ArtLets are very hyped about this competition and you can really see everyone rooting and shouting their lungs out for the representatives of their own major. It was my first time attending an event of another course and I really enjoyed! It was amazing to see their spirit the entire 3 hours of performances! (Imagine screaming for 3 hours straight) I really wanted to shout and cheer for PolSci but I was alone and it was embarrassing to scream like a little fangirl for I am sandwiched between two groups of AB people.
Aside from being OP from the two cliques beside me, the event was a blast! Thanks to the electrifying performance of Critical, which was inspired by the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. You guys were very awesome! I’ve seen you practice in the Quadricentennial Square but I never imagined that it would look this awesome onstage. Another plus, I think, is the costume! I love those gold skulls on your shoulders! Again, congratulations for placing 1st runner up! And to Cyron Aranas, dude, that Best Male Dancer award is supposed to be yours! Intense solo performance!
The judges and coaches also got to perform, and damn, they are good amazing. It was an all-star powerhouse of professional dancers! I guess it feels good and at the same time nerve-wracking to be a contestant and get to be judged by these dance royalties. All the contestants hit them with their best shot and I must say that the students of UST really has pure talent! Another performance that I really liked was that of Asian Studies and they did a Matrix Revolution-inspired choreography. Pure talent and passion.
Indeed, it was a good idea to do the hardcore review in the weekends to give me enough time to just chill today.
Why am I blogging like I am an Artlet when in fact I am a Nurse?
PS. Forgive the low quality video. Shitty phone camera is shitty.
RF: I am a frustrated singer.
I was convincing myself to study for the NCM quiz tomorrow but then I got started on singing and decided I should just record it instead. I was alone and bored, sorry.
I really like singing, although it seems that singing doesn’t like me at all. Please forgive and give way to my 30 seconds of fame.
This is me singing the chorus of It Will Rain by Bruno Mars.
SI EEYORE KA BA?
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it.
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me it isn’t over
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me, I beg
“I’ll remember”, you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Tandang tanda ko pa yung araw na maghapon namin tong pinapakinggan ni Papa. Kaya nung ginamit ‘tong song na to nung funeral video nya, hindi ko talaga napigilan na umiyak, maalala lahat, at mamiss sya ng sobra. Siguro walang makakaintindi sa nararamdaman ko. Walang kahit na sino. It may seem like I already moved on, but no. SOBRANG SAKIT PA RIN. Totoo pala yung sinasabi nila na kapag mag-isa lang daw ako, lalo akong malulungkot. Pero I believe in God’s promise. I know we will all meet again someday, and until that day comes, Pa, watch over me. Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord CHORUS: The day I left home I knew I’d broken His heart And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms BRIDGE: I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Mighty conqueror, and the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran
And I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me
I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He’s been waiting for this day
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son”, He called me Son
He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave.
Coz your presence still lingers here and it won’t leave me alone~
This wounds won’t seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There’s just too much that time cannot erase.
If I could only see you again today, If you come back again…
If you slept by my side just once more, if it happened once again
I wouldn’t want to wake up ♥
스쳐가나요…우리의 사랑은…가슴 아픈 추억인가요..
돌아서네요..그대의 마음은…눈물로도 잡을순 없나요…
My love 사랑해요..사랑해요 그대 듣고 있나요…
My love 잊지 말아요…지우지 말아요…우리의 사랑을..
나의 눈물이 그대 보이나요 하루하루 그리워합니다…
가슴 떨리던 그대 입맞춤도 이제는 추억이 됐나봐요…
My love 사랑해요 사랑해요 그대 듣고 있나요
My love 잊지 말아요 지우지 말아요…우리의 사랑을..
매일 난 그리움 속에 하루를 버티는데 그댄 어딨나요…
내가 미안해요 미안해요 그댈 잊지 못해서…
My love 돌아와줘요..떠나지 말아요..내 곁에서 제발…
:(((((((((((
Kahit isang text~ kahit blanko
Kahit isang hello sa telepono
Kahit isang ngiting alanganin
Kahit isang tingin kunwari sakin~
Nung Iniwan Mo Ako - Sinosikat?
Nakakaiyak lang yung lyrics. Naalala ko sya~ <//3
