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)

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.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me. And it's what I'll always do. For Me. Lyrics: If you wanna get with me There's some things you gotta know I like my beats fast And my bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (Drop it to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 (808) Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I...
