Copycat

What is with Filipinos and trying to copy foreign artists?!?! Copycats everywhere! Saw new video by *gasp* April Boy Regino, and his video is eerily identical to Outkasts' Hey Ya--complete with dance moves, round stage, and girls dressed up in 60 hippies screaming their heads off at, no less than April Boy. And, to top it off, the album's single is again, a novelty song. Let's stop it with these childrens' game chats shall we? It really is getting old. And I can't believe April Boy is jumping into this bandwagon when everyone knows his strength is in baduy masa love songs... It's like John Maxwell says, "whatever is your strength, strengthen it more. Don't go improving your weaknesses or focusing on how you can adapt to the strengths of others because it is a total waste of time." Hear that April Boy? Hope so.

Moonlight Over Paris

One of my favorite love songs... Didn't mind it much when it first became a hit. But when I heard my cousin sing it for his bride for their wedding.. I was just hooked, and wished I was in love in Paris as well Ü. Heard it tonight at myx.... so since I'm having f\my nth LSS for this song, might as well post it to this blog...

MOONLIGHT OVER PARIS

I. You said you've been overseas
I say over where
You say just a holiday
My Alsatian heir

I say I've been working late
Working over time
Haven't seen the sun since sixty-nine

Chorus: Does the moonlight shine on paris
After the sun goes down
If the London bridge is falling
Will anybody hear the sound
If you follow the sunset
will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on paris

II. Oh and how can you just walk away
Is it something that i said
I see only black and white
You see green and red

You believe in the miracles
Water into wine
I believe it when it makes the new york times

Chorus: Does the moonlight shine on paris
After the sun goes down
If the London bridge is falling
Will anybody hear the sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on paris

me and eds at DLSU  

Guilty Conscience

Spent whole day today "in the field", even if I promised Mark that I would join him early morning in the office so we can do his powerpoint for presentations on Monday. I woke up early enough, but I had to do some blogging in the house, which was why I wasnt able to make it at MDLD anymore before the Megamall meeting with the MC. After having told him that I would probably be there in the afternoon instead, I then rushed to the meeting, for which I was also late (aaargh! hate this habit!). I soon learned that convocations for DLSU was that same afternoon, so having the dilemma... I chose to go to DLSU first (yep, to see my "special someone") before going to see Mark. Turns out, my DLSU adventure took longer than expected... and Mark texted me finally to ask if I was still going to go. Gullt-ridden, I tried to finish everything, only to arrive in tomas morato already at 6pm! He was nice about it, only mentioning once that he was already there at 8am (because I told him I would be there at 8am also!) Shucks! I've never been so guilty and embarrassed about what I did than that moment... coz I know I chose to do something that was entirely futile anyway (because the person I was supposed to meet.. well, things didnt go as planned, even if we did meet and talk for a while) than keep my earlier promise to Mark. I know, i know. My brain would say I finished his ppt in time anyway before my dad fetched me early (yep, was only there in MDLD for 30 minutes! Sheesh, right?)... and I know he left also as soon as I did because he was not online in YM anymore after 20 minutes. I just hope next time I can make better choices and decisions, so others won't be hassled by my, well, "spontaneity"... Ü
