I’ll Be Okay

We now have Magic Jack and I am now able t talk to my best friend, who’s in the US, for a long time. Yay! We talked about a lot of things… catching up with each other lives, I told her about me being Korean crazed, we talked about going on a trip later this year, we even talked about Casablanca, the movie. Haha! I’m starting to watch old movies, that’s why. And it made me think about the Casablanca ceiling fans I want for our house so our conversion led to decorating our homes. LOL! I missed talking to her like this. Thank goodness for Magic Jack!

When we talked about me being Korean crazed, she said that I was better when I was AA-crazed. Of course, I disagreed. When I was AA-crazed, I almost always felt depressed but now that I’m Korean-crazed, or more like SS501-crazed, I’m always happy and carefree. She thought about it for awhile and finally agreed with me.

So, to celebrate my new-found happiness… here’s my song for you guys… haha!

I’LL BE OKAY
Amanda Marshall

It’s time to let you go, it’s time to say goodbye
There’s no more excuses, no more tears to cry
There’s been so many changes, I was so confused
All along you were the one, all the time I never knew

I want you to be happy, you’re my best friend
But it’s so hard to let you go now, all that could have been
I’ll always have the memories, she’ll always have you
Fate has a way of changing just when you don’t want it to

Throw away the chains, let love fly away
Till love comes again, I’ll be okay

Life passes so quickly, you gotta take the time
Or you’ll miss what really matters, you’ll miss all the signs
I’ve spent my life searching for what was always there
Sometimes it will be too late, sometimes it won’t be fair

Throw away the chains, let love fly away
Till love comes again, I’ll be okay

I won’t give up, I won’t give in
I can’t recreate what just might have been
I know that my heart will find love again
Now is the time to begin

Throw away the chains, let love fly away
Till love comes again, I’ll be okay

I can’t hold on forever baby
I’ll be okay

Lalala, It’s Love

I was burning The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince to a playable DVD and the opening theme song, Lalala, It’s Love by The Melody is stuck in my head. LSS? Haha! At first I thought it was am English song, but it turned out to be Korean. There are a few lines of the song that’s Korean. It’s a really nice songs and I love it! The melody is good, lyrics are nice and I love singing along with it. Below is a video with scenes from the drama. Also, below is the romanized lyrics of the song, so you could sing along to it.

Perhaps Love

Attack of the insomnia! Yikes! Yes, I’m having a hard time sleeping early again. I got used to sleeping around midnight but now I’m back to sleeping at the wee hours of the morning. It’s kinda hard and I’m already considering taking sleeping pills, but no. I remember I don’t take meds. Anyway, I’m turning Korean… yes, I’m turning Korean! LOL! How I wish there’s a song called Turning Korean, instead of Turning Japanese. Maybe I’ll into Japanese one of these days… who knows? Anything is possible! Anyway, expect more Korean (or maybe even Japanese) -related posts.

To begin with, here’s a Korean song from the Korean drama Goong (Princess Hours). The song is entitled Sarangingayo (Perhaps Love). I’ll include the lyrics in Hangul, Romanized Hangul and of course, English. Happy listening and hope you’ll enjoy the song.

By the way, if you like watching Tagalog dubbed Korean dramas, try watching the original in Korean language with English subtitle… there’s a whole lot difference with the dialogue, believe me! You’ll be able to appreciated the drama more.

PERHAPS LOVE (사랑인가요)
HowL & J
Princess Hours (궁) OST

HANGUL:

언제였던건지 기억나진 않아
자꾸 내 머리가 너로 어지럽던 시작
한 두번씩 떠오르던 생각
자꾸 늘어가서 조금 당황스러운 이 마음

별일이 아닐 수 있다고 사소한 마음 이라고
내가 네게 자꾸 말을 하는게 어색한걸

사랑인가요 그대 나와 같다면 시작인가요
맘이 자꾸 그댈 사랑한대요
온 세상이 듣도록 소리치네요
왜 이제야 들리죠 우-
서롤 만나기 위해 이제야 사랑 찾았다고

지금 내 마음을 설명하려 해도
니가 내가 되어 맘을 느끼는 방법 뿐인데
이미 난 니안에 있는 걸
내 안에 니가 있듯이
우린 서로에게 (서로에게)
이미 길들여진지 몰라

사랑인가요 그대 나와 같다면 시작인가요
맘이 자꾸 그댈 사랑한대요
온 세상이 듣도록 소리치네요
왜 이제야 들리죠 우-
서롤 만나기 위해 이제야 사랑 찾았다고

생각해보면 많은 순간속에
얼마나 많은 설레임 있었는지
조금 늦은 그 만큼 난 더 잘해 줄께요

함께 할께요 추억이 될 기억만 선물할께요
다신 내곁에서 떠나지 마요
짧은 순간조차도 불안한 걸요
내게 머물러줘요 우-

그댈 이렇게 많이 (그토록 많이)
사랑하고 있어요 (그대 하나만) 이미

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

I don’t know when it all started
When my head became dizzy with thoughts of you

These thoughts would often pop up in my mind
I feel anxious as my heart expands towards you

It’s nothing.. it’s just a little thing
Your words are awkward to me

Is it love? If you feel the same way, is it a beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why has it taken so long for me to hear it~?
We’ve finally met.. finally found love

If I wanted to show you how I feel
The only way would be for you to become me

I’m already inside of you
Just like you’re inside of me

To each other [to each other]
We may already be too accustomed

Is it love? If you feel the same way, is it a beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why has it taken so long for me to hear it~?
We’ve finally met.. finally found love

When I think about it [when I think about it]
I realize how many moments there were when my heart trembled
I’ll try as harder as I was late in realizing my feelings

I’ll be with you, I’ll only give you fond memories
Please don’t ever leave me again
Even the shortest moments without you make me uneasy
Please stay by me~

I already love you so much (you’re the only one)

I’d Still Say Yes

Don’t you just love old songs? I don’t know about you but I find very few songs that I like these days from the new releases. They all sound like the same to me. A friend of mine once said that for him there are no more new since songs after the 70s. New in the sense that everything is unique. With the new songs, you’ll still somehow find something in common with other songs. Probably true right?

Anyways, here’s an oldie that I don’t get tired listening to. And I love singing it over and over again, too. There’s a newer version of this song too by The Braxtons. It’s a nice one too but I still love the original version. Hope you enjoy it!

I’D STILL SAY YES
Klymaxx

I love you most
When we share a phase
Of special good times together
It seems like our love can’t get much better (No….)

Coz we were as close as two could be
‘ knew love could last forever
We’re more than just lovers
We’re good friends

Ref I: And even if our love could drift away
I wouldn’t even think twice
If I wanted love back again

Chorus: Because I’d still say yes to you again
My Darlin’ for you, I do it all again
Yes, I’d still say yes to you again
Darlin’ for you, I do it over and over again (Say yes..oh-oh)

Where does it go
How does it end
True love it seems so easy
‘Coz we have no doubts
Where we belong

Ref II: They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we begin

Chorus..

Say yes
Over and over…ohhh
Say yes…ohh

Ref II…Chorus..
Over and over…
Say yes…say yes to me baby…

Say yes to you again
My Darlin’ for you, I do it over and over again.
Say yes….

The Show

How’s your week so far? Mine’s a little busy. My best friend arrived last night but I haven’t seen her yet. I’m rally happy she’s here but not about the reason why. Her dad’s in the hospital right now. But I’m still glad I get to see her soon. I really miss her so much and I miss talking to her!

Anyways, here’s something a little light to help us all relax!

THE SHOW
Lenka

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go, I can’t do it alone
I’ve tried and I don’t know why

Slow it down
Make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
‘Cause it’s too much
Yeah, it’s a lot to be something I’m not
I’m a fool out of love cause I just can’t get enough

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go, I can’t do it alone
I’ve tried and I don’t know why

I’m just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out, it’s bringing me down I know
I know I’ve got to let it go and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign and synchronize in time
It’s a joke, nobody knows they’ve got a ticket to that show

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go, I can’t do it alone
I’ve tried and I don’t know why

I’m just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out, it’s bringing me down I know
I know I’ve got to let it go and just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go, I can’t do it alone
I’ve tried and I don’t know why

I’m just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out, it’s bringing me down I know
I know I’ve got to let it go and just enjoy the show

dum de dum dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show

dum de dum dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

I Love Your Smile

I’m supposed to be doing a layout of a photobook for a client and a couple of graduation announcements but instead of working, I’m chatting on the internet. LOL! I’d been having problems with my internet connection since last night and I missed chatting with my friends. Anyways, there this song that’s playing in my head over and over again today. I saw Kim Hyun Joong’s gorgeous smile today and I immediately thought of the song I Love Your Smile by Shanice. Now, I’m thinking of doing a scrap page about KHJ’s smile! Haha!

I LOVE YOUR SMILE
Shanice

Doo doo doo doo doooo doo…

Sittin’ in my class, just drifting away
Staring into the windows of the world
I cant hear the teacher, his books don’t call me at all
I don’t see the bad boys tryin to catch some play
Cause I love your smile

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I’ll never ever go back
Taught me that I can be a better girl
With the love you give you rock my world… you dig

The Fly

Okay, you probably have noticed already how my mind loves to wander. Well, I did it again! Lol! I was helping my friend with her research about the diet pills. I was in the middle of reading a review about glucomannan when my mind somehow began to wander again. I’m not sure what triggered it but I suddenly remembered the movie Joshua. Have you seen it already? It’s a little creepy with an ending that leaves you hanging. Anyway, I watched that movie because of the song by Dave Matthews. I love DMB! If you haven’t watched the movie yet or heard the song, here’s the song. It was also sung by the kid at the last part of the movie.

THE FLY
Dave Matthews Band

When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did
You know they didn’t ever have to love me, no, no, no
And no one ever will ever love them now oh, oh
But they, they always wanted somehow to save me
Why, oh, why
For pity’s sake, they should’ve saved themselves oh, oh
But you, you always said I never missed a note
I only ever wanted to be with you

I only wanted someone to play, play, play, play
When I pull the wings off the fly
The fly never wonders why
You know they never really ever had to love me, no, no, no
But no one will ever love them now oh, oh but they
They always thought that somehow they could save me
But why oh why
For pity’s sake me, they should’ve saved themselves oh oh
But you, you always said I never missed a note
And nobody ever knew me like you do, you do
You always said it’s gonna be ok, ok
I only ever really wanted to be with you

I only wanted someone to play, play, play, play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it

You On My Mind

No, not him! I just miss listening to Swing Out Sister. I particularly love the song You On My Mind. Hearing this song reminds me of Carl. We both love SOS and we’d even dance swing when singing this one. Of course, I also remember Jing and Dahl when I hear SOS songs. They were singing together with Carl, pretending they have tambourines when we went to Quezon back in 1999, I think. That was a long time ago! SOS songs brings back happy memories, imagine my best friends altogether with me. I miss them all!

YOU ON MY MIND
Swing Out Sister

Friends say I’ll get over you soon
Thoughts of you come back to fill me with gloom
Time forgets but I’m not over you yet
There’s no sense in asking why
Until the tears run dry

There’s no one but you on my mind
Searching for a perfect ending that we’ll never find
If we could make it work this time

Years have flown by since you’ve been gone
This broken heart of mine’s been waiting too long
All alone without you I can’t carry on
There’s no sense in asking why
Until I’m there by your side

There’s no one but you on my mind
Searching for a perfect ending that we’ll never find
If we could make it work this time
We could plant tomorrows dreams now together
In a garden to last forever more
And the flowers would grow
From the seeds we’d sow

There’s no one but you on my mind
Searching for a perfect ending that we’ll never find
If we could make it work this time
There’d be no sense in asking why
Waiting until the tears run dry
If I could make you change your mind
If we could make it work this time
There’d be no sense in asking why
Waiting until the tears run dry
If we could make it work this time

Somebody Waiting

Here’s an oldie. It’s a little sad but not enough to make you cry just by listening to it. I haven’t heard this for a long time and I kinda miss singing it. This is Somebody Waiting by Karen Wyman. I tried to search more about Karen but haven’t found nay official site or fanpage. And I’ve some comments on her CD product page on Amazon.com asking her for a comeback. I’d love to see that… I love classics!

SOMEBODY WAITING
Karen Wyman

I’ve kept you in my heart and every hour that we’re apart
The tears I’ve shown rolled into years alone
Alone, I’ve come to be somebody waiting

Promise me as you travel each mile
You’ll think of me every once in a while
I feel the sunshine in the warmth of your smile
Til then remember me somebody waiting

Without you nights are long, no one to sing my bedtime song
The times I’ve known counting the starts alone
Alone, I’ve come to be somebody waiting

Promise me as you travel each mile
You’ll think of me every once in a while
I feel the sunshine in the warmth of your smile
Til then remember me somebody waiting

Reason Why

Here’s another sad love song for you guys. I’m not trying to dampen your spirits, I just thought I’d share this because I really like this one. This is called Reason Why by Rachel Yamagata from her Happenstance album and it’s included in the original motion picture soundtrack of The Last Kiss. I really liked this song the first time I heard it. And my favorite lines are “It’s not that I don’t understand you. It’s not that I don’t want to be with you. But you only wanted me the way you wanted me.” Ouch!

REASON WHY
Rachel Yamagata

I think about how it might have been
We’d spend our days traveling
It’s not that I don’t understand you
It’s not that I don’t want to be with you
But you only wanted me the way you wanted me

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I’ve got nothing left to lose my dear, so I’m up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why I’m gone and you’re still there
I’m gone and you’re still there, I’m gone and you’re still there

I’ll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast or wherever I find my place
I’ll track you on the radios
And I’ll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you, it’s not the same

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why I’m gone and you’re still there
I’m gone and you’re still there, I’m gone and you’re still there

So, steal the show and do your best to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you’re looking for
The way I might’ve changed my mind but you only showed me the door

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big, we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I, you and I know the reason why
