For You

"Maging Sino Ka Man (For Who You Are)" - Sharon Cuneta

My very first concert experience was back in the early 90's when my mom took me to see my all-time favorite Filipina singer, Sharon Cuneta. Sharon is what Philippines deems as a "Mega-Star," bigger than a Super Star because of her work in film, TV, and of course music. She started in her early teens and got her rise to fame for portraying realistic and very dramatic female characters who often get into trouble for falling in love with the wrong person.

Most of her songs appeared in her movies baring the same titles. This one is definitely a classic and I love to sing it even if it's not on my Karaoke machine. I had it on cassette tape when the movie first came out and played it over and over again. I loved another song by Vina Morales entitled, May Bukas Pa (There's Still A Tomorrow). Unfortunately, this poor lil' tape went missing. It's one of the things I miss the most...

Several remakes were made by other artists over time, but no one sang it quite like Sharon did in this film. I'm so happy I found this video footage of her and her "bad boy" co-star and real life ex-love, Robin Padilla. It was so long ago that I still only remember bits and pieces of it, but it's pretty obvious that the story revolved around a woman (Sharon) once again falling for the wrong guy (Robin) and in a twisted fate, he ends up falling for her. Until this day it is known as one of her best work. It's kinda sad that I don't own it either. But hey, maybe one day I just might find that needle in a haystack.

Pssst...in case you're wondering...yes, this one's for you.



Lyrics:

Ang pag-ibig ay sadyang ganyan
(Love is really like that)

Tiwala sa isa't-isa'y kailangan
(Trust in one another is needed)

Dati mong pag-ibig, wala akong pakialam
(I don't care about your previous love)

Basta't mahal kita kailan pa man
(Just as long as I love you now and forever)

'Wag kang mag-isip nang ano pa man
(Don't think of anything else)

Mga paliwanag mo'y di na kailangan
(I don't need your explanations)

At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
(Whatever your past may be)

Mamahalin kita maging sino ka man
(I will love you for who you are)

Mahal kita, pagkat mahal kita
(I love you because I love you)

Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
(What others may think isn't important)

Mahal kita maging sino ka man
(I love you for who you are)

Mali man ang ikaw ay ibigin ko
(Even if it's wrong for me to love you)

Ako'y isang bulag na umiibig sa 'yo
(Love is blind)

At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
(and whatever your past may be)

Mamahalin kita maging sino ka man
(I will love you for who you are)

Mahal kita, pagkat mahal kita
(I love you because I love you)

Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
(What others may think isn't important)

Mahal kita maging sino ka man
(I love you for who you are)

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
