So I was listening to Westlife's new album Spectrum this morning and it sounded too much of Ed Sheeran. Not that it's bad... In fact it really is good.
I am just not surprised to learn that Ed Sheeran co-wrote almost half of all the songs included in the album.
So this is what happens if a great song-writer collaborate with a great band.
I think, mostly, part of every singer's great success are great song-writers.
I got my list of fave song-writers as well, like Steve Mac and Wayne Hector who both wrote songs for Westlife.
So much music for this morning, though.
It's amazing how one person can suddenly be your world all at the same time.
It's amazing how it doesn't matter what the world thinks of You as long as that one person and you are good.
It's amazing how can that one person be just as important to you as much as you mean to him/her.
...and so the song goes -
πΆ Some find it in the Face of their Children
Some find it in their Lover's Eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you found that special thing
You're flying without wings.. πΆπΆ
I have featured this song in my blog so many times already but it never gets old to me.
I can't exactly tell why...
But everytime I'm on the verge of losing my faith, I just listen to this song, then I'm back on track again.
"πΆπΆ I'm like a faith without a clause to believe in it... πΆπΆ"
That line never disappoints me.
It always reminds me that You don't need to see it...
You just need to have faith and it will see you through.
This song has been my favourite song since it was release in 2005.
I've been a fan of Savage Garden since highschool...
Darren Hayes is such a talented song-writer and great singer as well.
So Beautiful
(by: Darren Hayes)
Whether I'm right or wrong
There's no phrase that hits
Like an ocean needs the sand
Or a dirty old shoe that fits
AND IF ALL THE WORLD WAS PERFECT
I WOULD ONLY EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR SCARS
You know they can have their universe
We'll be in the dirt designing stars
And darlin' you know
You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful
Whether I'm up or down
There's no crowd to please
I'M LIKE A FAITH WITHOUT A CLAUSE TO BELIEVE IN IT
AND IF ALL THE WORLD WAS SMILING
I WOULD ONLY EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FROWN
You know they can sail away in sunsets
We'll be right here stranded on the ground
JUST HAPPY TO BE FOUND
You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful
I have lost my illusions
I have drowned in your words
I have left my confusion to a cynical world
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand
Discover enlightenment holding your hand
You are
So beautiful
Yeah darlin' you know!
That you make me feel so beautiful
Every PAIN leaves a MARK.
So if you'll gonna leave a mark in somebody's life...
Just make it sure that it is NOT a SCAR BUT a TATTOO.
Because a tattoo makes the pain worthwhile. It makes the hurt beautiful. It turns the tragedy into a piece of art.
πΆπΆπΆ I should ink my skin With your name... π΅π΅πΆ
When you reach that pivotal point in your life when you have to cross that bridge, taking the first step is the hardest but also the most satisfying.
I am taking chances now because when life hits you hard, you will realized that life had been a series of If's and I don't want to add another If in my life.
My interns this morning were joking about their personal lives when I arrived at work. So they teased me as well and asked me - "Ma'am as our mentor we would like to know your side, which one will you choose, a good-looking man but rude or a not-really-good-looking man but kind?"
Here's what I said...
I will choose neither of them. Why? Because I will Not settle myself on who is available just to have someone to be with.
I'd go with someone I really like.
If the choices are not my type, I'd rather be alone and wait than settle on who is available but I don't really like.
Again...
Never ever settle on who is available unless you really love him.
Wait until someone will finally come into your life and will make you feel the difference between being trapped by choices and being settled by the one you really choose.
πΆπ΅ IF I COULDN'T REACH YOU BY THE HAND...
COULD I TOUCH YOUR HEART.
AND IF I COULDN'T MAKE YOU FEEL THE SAME...
COULD I JUST CONTINUE LOVING YOU. πΆ
(Sepulcher In Your heart by: Odessa Mann)
This is my very first song that landed in HIMIG HANDOG back in 2015.
It is not my favorite among my songs but it definitely has a special spot in my heart.
I wasn't able to finish my piece about a fish which is supposed to be my entry to a local song-writing/band competition to be held today.
P.s. FiSH is the band suppose to sing my song.
So I sit here at one corner watching these artists make their way at the entrance carrying their guitars and beatboxes.
Truth be told...
I am still not done with that song.
π€£π€£π
But more than anything...
One of the reasons why I wasn't able to finish it is because I am too busy preparing for the unveiling of "The Artist's Bucketlist" which will happen on November 21.
I've been preparing myself for it since March this year...
Oh! That fateful day that I realized that there will be a certain point in time when your heart and your mind will collide and will say - move on... It is not for you.
And I don't wanna miss this Benign duty moment to procrastinate... And blog. π€£π€£
So here's a Thought while waiting for my patients...
"I think the saddest word in the dictionary is not sad... But IF. Because the word IF webs out to myriads of regrets, failures, missed chances and could have beens. It's the saddest word because it brings your memories but NOT the past. IF... If only you didn't exist... This world would be different... My world... Your world... Our world would be different."
My random thoughts this morning made me ask myself this question...
If today is your last day, what will you eat?
So I answered myself as well...
I'll definitely eat my PRIDE.
Ohhh! I know I'm witty! π
But seriously, if I'll be dead anyway then what's the use of my pride. This is just a burden within my chest so why not eat it all away and go to that person and say all the emotions that you have.
No shame...
You'll be dead anyway - right?
We keep our pride because we're ashamed of the might and could be - the consequence.
I myself have that pride too.
So I don't mind eating it if its my last meal.
But since I don't feel like I'll be dead later today...
So I'll just have eggs and coffee for now.
...because I can't still swallow my pride.
I am too coward for that.
I realized that if you're chasing someone or something, time will suddenly be on your side. Because you will suddenly have the power to control over the situation. You can decide if you want to keep on chasing it and you can stop anytime you feel tired or when you suddenly changed your mind. Because you are the one chasing and not the other way around. You are the one chasing and not the one running away afraid to get caught up.
And that is how I see my life right now.
Time is on my side while I am chasing you.
I can stop anytime I feel like quitting...
But I want you to know that I won't do that.
I wanted you so much that I don't think I can just let you go that easy.
Time is on my side...
So while I wait for you...
I'll be collecting waters
in the gutter
Enjoy the chilling winter
While waiting till it is over
And by the end of summer
My journey begins
To becoming a master.
Wooohhh!
I know it will be tough.
But I won't quit.
My road to my Master's D.
While most people say that you should face your past so you can face your future...
Here's what I thought...
You do not have to face your past especially if it is not catching up on you. Just walk on. Move on towards your future. Do not embrace your past more than your present... That is the only way to face the future.
And lastly... Your past cannot haunt you unless you allow it to.
Trust me.
Been there.
Done that.
Leave that.
Live now.
If I sound too strong... It is because I am.
Sometime last month I asked for Healing...
And the lesson it gave me is this...
"Never embrace your scars more than your healing."
I realized that my barista circle of friends is getting wider.
There are actually 4 Starbucks stores now who know me and my kind of coffee and they would even approach me when they see me somewhere off to nowhere.
The bad part is... They know my name and my face while I could hardly recognize them...
And the worst part of it all is the part when I need to pretend that I actually recognize them from wherever store they're in.
Like a while ago I thought he is from that store near my place when it turned out he just made my coffee yesterday at the University.
Awkward!

PENNY AND ME (BY: HANSONS)
What my naked eye sees is a losing battle in the field.
But my instincts feels different...
Because it ain't over till it's over.
I'm not giving up until this fight is over.
And as long as I could still hear the sound of the battlecry...
I will keep on fighting...
Keep on hoping...
Keep on praying...
Til this faith find it's way to win.
G lang ng G!
Go! Wwwoooohhhh!
π€£π€£π€£
...because I need these words of encouragement from myself.
I could use some advice for myself today...
"Just pray. Hope. Have faith. The game is not yet over. You still have the chance. Just hang on. It ain't over till it's over."
Taylor Swift mode on...
"I'd Lie" is one of my favourite Taylor Swift's song but sadly it is not on Spotify.
...He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs
And...
I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him,
I'd lie.
I love this song because it is so brave and honest...
Maybe because it is so detailed like if you read between the lines, you will know exactly who is behind that song.
It tells you exactly the picture and Taylor didn't try to camouflage the person she is talking about.
