i finally found playphonics

i just wanna share something here. its a song from a local band "Playphonics". as i am a huge fan of bands with women on vocals, i gave this band a chance and as soon as i heard their first single "PAGBIGYAN", i got hooked. i searched for months for the single on the web but found nothing. but ALAS! i finally found it posted on imeem.com- the overly used music application embedded on friendster profiles. :) the song is all about being hesitant to enter into a new relationship with someone. having this fear of getting hurt and all that BS but never gave it a chance. it sounds too familiar about someone i know.tsk2. anyway, here's the lyrics of song. and maybe YOU can relate to the essence of this melodic piece.


Ano bang nakakatakot sa ganyan?
Kung sasaktan, talagang masasaktan.
Malayo o malapit man,
Kung di susubukan, di matututunan.

Sabi mo gusto mo naman siya.
Pero natatakot kang umikot ang mundo mo sa kanya.
Natatakot kang iwanan niya.
'Ni di mo man lang binigyan ng pagkakataong mahalin ka niya.

Hindi sa layo ang sukatan.
Hindi sa anyo ang basehan.
Di ba dapat, sa nararamdaman.
Bakit di pagbigyan?
Paano mo malalaman?
Maari ngang masaktan.
Maari din namang wagas na pagmamahalan.
Bakit mo inuunahan?
Ba't hindi pagbigyan.

Pilit mang iwasan.
Pilit mang talikuran.
Di mo kayang diktahan.
Di mo kayang pagtakpan.

Bakit di pagbigyan?
Paano mo malalaman?
Maari ngang masaktan.
Maari din namang wagas na pagmamahalan.
Bakit mo inuunahan?
Bakit hindi pagbigyan.

enjoy the music. :)

david cook won!!!

The traffic on the internet is heavy. With the news of David Cook winning this year's American Idol, bloggers and readers who are fans of the talent show are going crazy. Before the Final showdown between the two Davids, the wicked Simon Cowell told everyone that David Archuleta clearly knocked out Cook with both of them performing their three final songs. Archie, the monicker for the younger David, performed songs that were...expected. The type which would impress the audience. While on the other hand, MY David chose three different songs that showed different sides of him. The songs were not well known but he delivered it with sincerity and dignity. Remember the way he sang "Always be my Baby"? Well what do you know. America favored the rocker David over the boy-next-door David. And to that, i am UTTERLY happy with the result. I was nearly in tears as Ryan Seacrest announced that he won. A friend of mine sent me a message saying she was crying too. Mr. Cook is a swooner. No doubt about that. Let me share with you a video I found in youtube. its his commercial for Guitar Hero. Its so funny and he is frggin hot. =D




Rock on Mr. Cook!

that mr.boyd

this man never fails to amaze me.

as you all know, he is the gorgeous creature fronting the band Incubus. if you didnt know that, you must have been living under a rock or you are an exchange student from Mongolia. this artsy-fartsy (i love this term) guy is a musician, a writer, and a painter. he has so far written two books: WHITE FLUFFY CLOUDS and FROM THE MURKS OF THE SULTRY ABYSS. i have yet to read them but im trying to get my hands on those babies. recently, he finally launched a website for his books. it's at http://www.brandonboydbooks.com/. aside from the two books, there is also a limited edition collection of his artworks including his famous tats and a separate collection of random art prints which you can order.

here's a sample of the print i grabbed from the website:

incubus fans might recognize this design in one of their videos. i remembered i wanted to have a tattoo after seeing the video and it would be exactly the same as this one right here. its kinda like wanting to have your belly button pierced after watching Alicia Silverstone on the video "Crazy" by Aerosmith. Wait, was it Alicia or Liv Tyler? I cant tell them apart.

before i veer further away from the topic, check out the site and read Mr. Boyd's "about me section". its very clever with lines such as: "I am straight yet i adore sparkling mineral water" and "If you feed me at midnight, I multiply." hmmm.. i wonder WHO feeds him?
