Let me be very short and precise on this. This song has been my song for quite some time now. The poignant lyrics hits right through the innermost center of anyone’s heart who has been left by someone, may it be a friend, a family, a person of secret infatuation or a loved one.
If you’re not touched by this song, then, you are not a human being!
Pucha, nakakaiyak naman ‘to!
This is how intense my high “C”s sounds like when I sing while having a shower!
Seriously, that’s the vibrant and incredibly intense voice of Javier Camarena… Bellissima voce!
Parang ako lang…
Here’s my chosen Song of the Week. I’ve never heard of Shawn Mendes in the past but as soon as I heard this folksy-uptempo song, I’ve gone obsessed with it.
A shower of kisses to everyone…
Eto ang tim song ng mga mananahi! Hahaha!
I’m not a fan of Michael Jackson but watching this remix/mashup music video makes me wish that he was still alive. This is one superb work by Robin Skouteris.
I never wondered whether these songs would mix so well together. This is genius! Seeing the late Michael Jackson and the very much alive and bitching Madonna now could have been one great event that this planet would experience.
Enough with the wishful thinking! Just beat it bitch and hit the play button!
Ay em labing dis!!!
Easily my favorite thing this quiet Saturday morning, the acoustic version of “Love Me Like You Do” by the fab Dami Im.
She sings the song so exquisitely as if she was the one who wrote it. This further proves my being a member of the Dami Army.
Labettt!
A considerable amount of my time growing up during my pre and early teen years was spent by watching the original cartoon animation series The Superbook. It is an anime series that chronicled the events in the Bible’s Old and New Testament.
joy, chris and gizmo
The Bible in its written form can be so intensely deep and enormously ornate in words, idiolect and terminologies. Because of this, its thoughts, teachings and philosophies can be at times so difficult to understand. Because of this, The Superbook then was my early basis and reference on how to understand the stories and teachings of the Bible.
And from among all episodes of this valuable anime series during the 1980s (including its re-runs dubbed in Filipino language), never did I saw Christian, Joy and their toy robot Gizmo encounter an episode that being gay and falling in love with a person of the same sex or gender is a sin.
Maybe it is because the creators of The Superbook series knows that it does not take a person to read, know and understand the Bible to realize that falling in love is not a sin. I guess The Superbook creators knew that love is universal and that love is beautiful. I guess The Superbook knows that there’s no book on “how” and there’s no book on “who” when in comes to love.
The same thought that this music conveys…
Ay lab Superbuk! Ang kumontra, Chaka!
Bow down bitches!!! Her Madgesty is coming soon!!! Here are two teasers of Madonna’s upcoming Rebel Heart World Tour.
Are those pole-dancing nuns?
It’s still seven months to go before Madonna performs here in Manila, yet this early, I am already freakin’ excited. I still can’t believe that I already got myself a ticket!
Ay kent weyt!
I grew up listening to her music. I grew up liking her ever changing image. I grew up idolizing this woman who ignited an entire generation to express themselves.

Seeing a Madonna Concert is the only thing that is lacking of my being a die-hard fan. Click this LINK for you to know how big a fan I am of Madonna: https://neillangit.com/2008/08/17/a-fan-of-a-golden-girl/
To fulfil my self-imposed requirement, I seriously considered travelling to Tel Aviv, Israel in 2012 to watch the Sticky and Sweet World Tour. I chose Tel Aviv because that seem to be the nearest country where I can watch that concert. Also, being a Filipino I need not apply for a tourist visa in that country. But due to budget constraints I obviously was not able to go.
Then just about two weeks ago, my super friend Jesse who’s based in Sydney messaged me and invited me to see the Rebel Heart show in Australia. He sent me the link on how the purchase should go. This is despite the fact that Madonna performing in Manila is already becoming a big buzz. I was so close to buying the ticket! But for some weird reason, obviously I did not.
Until two days after chatting with Aussie Jesse, the big news was announced that Madonna for the first time will perform in Manila. I did not believe it still, until I personally checked the official Madonna website. And when I saw for myself that Madonna is indeed coming, I was like feeling so moved!!! I know I’m not religious, but I felt so moved, it made me wanna pray!!!
the only one in asia!!!
Then, 4 days prior to the official selling of tickets to public, I received a text message from Citibank informing me that I got the opportunity to buy Madonna tickets because of their pre-sale program. I of course did not let this chance go! I moved my ass and bought 2 ticket seats.
I need someone to accompany me during the concert so I bought 2 tickets. One for my dear sister Gaying. My sister during the event has been assigned to pinch my nose and slap me in the face to remind me that what I am about to see and experience is not a dream.
finally!
Now that I got myself her concert ticket, one of my life’s bucket list will finally become a realization. See you there…
Parating na ang sugo. Bili na ng tiket!
This blog is a living proof that I absolutely without any doubt love anything about Japan. From its food, to its beautiful weather, to its magnificent sites, up to its exquisite culture and gentle people.
This blog also is a testament to the startling fact that I love Broadway musicals. From its ingenious production designs, to its mind blowing choreographies, to its incredible story plots up to marvellous musical tunes and talents.
Amazingly, the recent Youtube video which I stumbled upon is a surprising mix of both. This video gives me a reason to again visit Japan and see their unique version and remarkable rendition of western musicals.
wow!
What is so delightful in watching this video is that I don’t have to have the lyrics translated in a language that I understand. I already know the story, the uttered lines as well as the music. The only thing that I got to do is to witness the stunning visuals, hear the pleasing musical tunes and savour the delightful experience.
This is so beautiful…
Now I wonder how my favourite nemesis Ursula is interpreted by this Japanese musical company.
Kakaiba ‘di ba?
Here’s my 2015 summertime theme song…
You’re out of touch, in overtime
You’re running in, you’re running
Better left behind

And it’s all you needYou gotta live your life
You gotta treat you right
You gotta give into the great thing appetite
You gotta shake it up,
You gotta hold it down
You gotta do all the things that
Make you smile, make you smile
With the fun, but it is that really makes you happy
Yeah let’s say that
Let the world be a world that you fill with smileYou’re beautiful and evergreen
You’re dancing on high hopes and you got big dreams
So let them shine we’ll light it up‘Cause now’s the time to find your voice
Wear your heart out on your sleeve
‘Cause you know the best all things in life are free
And it’s all you needYou gotta live your life
You gotta treat you right
You gotta give into the great thing appetite
You gotta shake it up,
You gotta hold it down
You gotta do all the things that
Make you smile, make you smile
With the fun, but it is that really makes you happy
