title: MUSIC keeps me SANE.
time: 4:42 PM
Before the musicalities, kwento ko muna yung tungkol sa weekend kong masaya!I spent my 3-day "vacation" at home. After my Saturday class, I quickly hopped into a cab and took the 1pm bus trip to Dagupan. I was extremely excited! I bummed around for three whole days. I watched DVDs with my brothers and my sister, finished reading Eclipse, listened to music, ate a lot of chocolates, watched more TV and took some crazy I'm-a-vampire-and-I'm-going-to-bite-you photos with Khrystian and my little sister Kiara (Yep. I'm still not over the Twi fever). It was GREAT! I can't wait to do it again this Christmas break. Haha! So yeah, I listened to a lot of random songs on my phone this weekend. Most of them were the songs I kept ignoring for so long. Ignore as in, e.g. when Panu Na Kaya (by Bugoy from the PDA Season 2) starts to play, I'll keep pushing the Forward button until I find Single Ladies by Beyonce. I only keep Bugoy's single on my phone for Khrystian's sake because he seems to think that it perfectly describes his "love dilemma". Pffft. Teenagers. Haha. Anyway, the other songs I played are my favorites, those I keep putting on almost all my playlists. If you're in a 5-hour trip on a bus, with nothing else to do but sit, sleep and watch crappy movies on the TV, MUSIC will keep you sane. Trust me. And that's exactly the reason why I keep the 320+ songs on my phone's memory card. The songs I pick depend on my mood, really. So kahit na anong genre, okay lang sa akin. Here's a list of the songs I played over the weekend and are DEFINITELY worth listening to: 1. Muse: Supermassive Black Hole - This song has been my alarm ringtone for weeks because I love the intensity at the beginning of the song! It was actually love at first hearing. I love the vibe it gives when you blast the volume of your speakers. It refuels my energy. Plus, it's the song playing in the background during the baseball scene, which is one of my favorite parts from the Twilight movie! I also dig the video. I think the concept was "Jabbawockeez give up dancing and turn into rock stars". Haha. Kidding. 2. Plain White T's: 1, 2, 3, 4 - Natutuwa ako sa kantang 'to! The chorus goes: "There's only ONE thing TWO do, THREE words FOUR you... (I love you) I love you." Super cute and sweet. 3. Augustana: Boston - The song I have never deleted since I bought my phone a year ago. I love the piano intro!!!! Gosh, you have no idea how much I'm obsessed with this song. Kahit paulit-ulit, okay lang. Hindi ako nagsasawa. 4. Seabear: Cat Piano - Not really a favorite but I play this once in a while especially when I'd like to go to sleep. It was featured on Gossip Girl Season 2 (Never Been Marcused episode). 5. Yiruma: River Flows In You - The piano score I wished was used as Bella's Lullaby. I think Carter Burwell's composition wasn't as romantic as Yiruma's. He's Korean, by the way, and only 30 years old! Dreamyyyyyy... 6. Iron & Wine: Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Okay, sa Twilight na naman ito. This the song that Edward and Bella are dancing to at the gazebo. When I listen to this, I always remember prom and wedding dances. Sobrang bagay talaga dun sa scene sa movie. Kasi di ba, when you're slow dancing with someone, sobrang relax lang? Ayun! Etong kanta na 'to ang nagpapakalma sa akin! Haha. 7. The All-American Rejects: Gives You Hell - I'm a fan of this band! Hindi pa rin ako maka-get over sa Dirty Little Secrets video. Hahaha. This new single is a headbanging-worthy song! Love, love it! 8. Nadia Oh: Got Ur Number - Isa na rin 'to sa mga ginawa kong alarm ringtone. Perfect club music! Haha. Kasi eto yung dilemma nya, she met this guy and she has his number but she doesn't know if it's a good idea to call him because "now I wonder.. If you want me.. Like I want you". Yun lang. Pero I like that this song is very upbeat. :D 9. Mika: Happy Ending - featured on Gossip Girl Season 1 (The Handmaiden's Tale episode). Favorite namin ni Aileen. Sobrang ganda talaga! 10. Kirsten Dunst: Dream of Me - From the movie Get Over It (2001). Kirsten stars in the film and yes, she sings in it, too! Nashock nga ako eh, marunong pala siyang kumanta. Anyway, this song has been on my CD player, my cellphone and on my computer for years. Since high school hanggang ngaun. Super ganda kasi talaga. Pati si Vincent na-inlove na rin sa kanta. Haha. The MOVIE's about a boy who gets dumped by his long-time girlfriend and he couldn't get over it, thus, the title of the film. His best friend's sister (played by Dunst) helps him to get his ex-gf back but eventually Dunst falls for him. She composes this song and sings it in a school play ("A Midsummer Night's Dream"). Oh, basta ang haba na ng description ko! In short, sa kanta, gusto nung babae na matulog na lang siya lagi kasi dreaming of him is the only chance she's got where she could see and kiss him and touch his face. Tragic noh? :) 11. Chris Cendana: Without You - Chris is actually Fil-American but he's not super famous. Sa YouTube, oo. Friends sila ni Happy Slip. Okay, hindi niyo sila kilala pero promise, ang ganda talaga ng song na 'to! Watch and listen to it on Youtube. It's actually a song about long distance relationships. This is an original composition. :) 12. Just Stand Up: Various Artists - Girl Power! Love, love, looooove this song! Perfect na sana kaso kasama si Miley Cyrus eh. Panira! Ampf. 13. Kate Voegele: It's Only Life - featured on Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, one of my favorite chick flicks. I like this song because the message is absolutely fantastic-o! "Don't be so afraid of facing every day, Just take your time, It's only life..." 14. The Cranberries: Linger - Aaaah. Tong kantang toh! The first time I heard it, I thought it was okay. And then the movie Click came out. This was the song playing when Michael and Donna had their first kiss, and when they danced for the first time, after getting divorced, during their son's wedding. "You know I'm such a fool for youuuuuu..." Hahaha. 15. Neyo: Mad - Do I have to explain why I love this song? NEYO. Period. 16. Lily Allen: Naive - I love her voice! I am now a fan. Love how she said 'pre-ee face' (pretty face). Hehehe. 17. Oasis: Wonderwall - I am so addicted to Lost, the TV series. Charlie Pace (played by Dominic Monaghan) is the rocker in this series and he sang this song in the episode where, while on the island, Desmond Hume (played by Henry Ian Cusick) constantly tries to intervene and changes Charlie's fate--death. Charlie is on the streets, playing his guitar and singing the line "Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me..." when he crosses paths with Desmond YEARS before they got "Lost" in the island. Galing, noh? Hehehe. 18. Pink: So What - I love Pink! I love the bad girl attitude. She's sooo cool! She wrote this song for her ex-husband, plus she makes him agree to appear on its video! They're still really good friends. That's cooler. :) 19. Metro Station: Shake It - Maganda kasi napapa-shake talaga ako. Hahaha! Ang corny. :)) 20. Beyonce: Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) - After so many attempts, I still could not do the choreography on the video. But this man could: ...and I am soooo jealous! 21. T.I.: Whatever You Like - After watching the video, that's the time I realized na cute pala si T.I. Bwahahaha! 22. Sum 41: With Me - I listen to or sing this when I feel like screaming. Hahaha. Ewan ko. Basta. I like this song. 23. Until June: You Do - I heard it playing on Steph's car stereo and I fell in love with it instantly. It was used in a Gossip Girl promo last year. :) 24. Peter Bjorn and John: Young Folks - I call this "The Whistle Song". Haha. Also featured on Gossip Girl (Season 2, Pilot Episode). I love GG music! 25. James Blunt: You're Beautiful and Same Mistake - Wala na akong ibang masabi. Sobrang gustong gutso ko tong dalawalang kanta na toh!!!! I love James Blunt. There was this VJ on Channel V who said that You're Beautiful was one of the most annoying songs he ever listened to. Batuhin ko siya ng sapatos eh! Hmph! That was a looooong list. Very RANDOM yung mga songs. Actually, marami pa dapat yang mga yan kaso tinatamad na ako. Haha. I'll post the playlist some other time so that you could listen to the songs if you like. Okay, have to go. I have to catch up on this week's Gossip Girl episode. Hahaha. STAY IN LOVE WITH MUSIC! XOXO |
