SKA!

well, on boring summer days, usually my brother and i play around. i mean, we bond. yeah, we actually do that. hahaha. it would seem impossible for the two of us, but we both can't help it when he's so bored at watching movies and nba while i'm also tired of reading mangas.

so when it comes to times like these, we bond. well, it's just singing loudly together. kind of a duet. we thought no one really cared until our neighbors were actually complaining about our voices. you see, we're not that talented. we do really like music though.

we were ecstatic when we had an iPod, we downloaded songs we both loved and also songs the other one hates. pero, you know, mabilis kaming magsawa.

my brother then came across with the AQUABATS, randomly searching for unpopular band (well, here in our country, they're not). and i think that they play SKA MUSIC. i don't know anything about ska music, since it's like "unheard of". but when i heard their songs, WOW!! they're amazing! you can clearly hear the skillfuly playing of the drums! the bass was exceptionally outstanding! there were also some trumpets. . . that'd be weird but they sound nice with it! the lyrics were also quite funny but also filled with so much wisdom.

my favorite from them is the song "lovers of loving love". here're some of the lyrics.

" I'm so happy,
I'm so happy,
That I'm a boy and you're a girl alright"

"It's so hip
To give you a kiss
And taste cherry chapstick aaah" <-- CHAPSTICK! hahaha! LOL!

"I can't walk
Can't move
Because I'm paralyzed
By your love
And that's OK by me
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
It's real great
We're lovers of loving love"


my brother then searched for more after a few weeks. then, he found STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO. well, this is one great SKA band! their lyrics are soooo. . . . OOOH!
there are two that interested me, one is "A BETTER PLACE, A BETTER TIME" and "POINT/COUNTERPOINT".

the song "a better place. . . " talks about this guy who stops this girl from committing suicide. the girl thought that it was better for her to die since nobody would really ever care. she didn't feel like she was appreciated. no one would come to her when she needs help. no guy was in love with her so with the usual form, she put up a note on the mirror and decides to end her life. but then this guy gives her hope saying "it's not your time. i guarantee that you'll wake in a better place and in a better time."

these are the ending lyrics:

" when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
and feel like you might give in
well don't
It's not your time

And even if it was so
Oh I wouldn't let you go
you could run run run run but I will follow close
Someday you will say 'that's it, that's all'
but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
but just know that I'm here
and I'll lead you home
if you let me
She said 'forget me'
but I can't"

the song "point/counterpoint" is fast. we couldn't really keep up with it. pero the lyrics are also awesome though i only understand it a bit.

just check it out na lang.

then, the last one probably the best, would be CATCH 22. we've only known one song from them and it's "1234, 1234". it's a 'cheer-up' song. so, it's nice.

probably, 1234 would be the first on my list for SKA SONGS followed by A BETTER PLACE, A BETTER TIME. or tie na lang siguro. pareho kasing maganda.

here're some of 1234:

"You, you try, you try to get by.
'You're never going to pull it off',
'You shouldn't even try'
'You're a wet cigarette',
'You're always second best',
but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
So you fight for them to realize;
there's more to life,
there's more to you,
there's more than meets the eye.
And when you're done, the battle's been won.
You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum,
you hum: ....12341234.... "

this would be all for now, i'll put those songs up in here.

* hope my brother won't find out about this! ahhh, i'm so scared!!!*

watch PIANO NO MORI and TOKI WO KAKERU SHOUJO

watch piano no mori (piano in the forest?) and toki wo kakeru shoujo (the girl who leapt through time).

they're both on CRUNCHYROLL.com and parehas din silang maganda, lalo na yung TWKS. ganda, superrr. go, watch!

uhh, if you're really bored.. watch TAIYO NO UTA (sabi nung iba MIDNIGHT'S SUN daw pero SONG OF THE SUN talaga). watch this, you'll CRY.

alam mo, wala akong magawa. :D

hindi nga, wala talaga akong magawa. as in. super boring na ng buhay ko sa ngayon.

anyway, eto nonsense talaga. ngayon na lang ulit ako nagkasakit. akalain mo yon? wala na nga akong ginagawa, nagkasakit pa ako. yan tuloy, nasira ang daily routine ko.

oo nga pala, bumili si mama ng hula-hoop. wait, tama ba? ayun, sila ni daddy marunong at ako? ayokong i-try, NO WAY!

hahahaha.

actually wala naman talaga akong post na may sense eh, napansin mo ba? nyaha.

o sige, yun lang. next time na lang ulit.

nakaka-bwusit nga pala ang pagka-panalo ni DAVID COOK. alam kong magaling siya at mas nakatutuwa siya kesa kay ARCHULETA but ang prediction ko talaga since top 12, si DAVID A. ang mananalo. mula nung top 10, na-predict ko na ang finalists, at tama ako, sila ngang dalawa at ang hula ko'y si archu ang mananalo. ayun, nagkamali ako dahil sa 12,000,000 na taong nagkamali ng pindot ng numbers. ayun, BOOM!

sorry talaga dahil sa post na ito, nababangag na talaga ako. parang super low-life na tuloy ako. haay.

i'll really stop backstabbing people. :(

if you know that i have backstabbed you and you were offended (who wouldn't be?), i am TRULY SORRY.

karma's fast.

everyone backstabs, one way or another. backstabbing to me means i'm saying bad things about my precious FRIENDS behind their backs. but, if i really despise you eternally, can't help it, sorry hahaha. :D

i'm really sorry to this one person whom i think i've hurt very much, i'm too afraid to mention your name here though i know you seldom read my posts since it does not say much about important things.

so, i'm sorry.

magbabago na talaga ako. if i don't have anything good to say about that person, i'll just keep my mouth shut.

SORRY. really. :(
