Just Sneaking Around…

September 23, 2008

Okay, right now I’m in a violation of my contract (something I made to help me concentrate on studying this week) to refrain using the internet for non-educational purposes and avoid visiting all the sites that I like (blogs, Friendster, Youtube and fanfiction sites) from today up to Saturday because I have a ten-page research paper due this Friday (I’ve only finished three pages… T_T)and a test in Biology this Saturday. Each violation will result on a 2-day restriction next week fom the computer, my story notebooks and my sketch pad. And I’ve violated 2 rules… T_T

But I just have to share this song…

 

Credits for  the video and translation to DiruGirl @ youtube.com

“Kiss Shita Mama Sayonara” by the one and only DBSK (or TVXQ, or Tohoshinki, whatever you want to call them…). Two of the members, Yoochun and Jaejoong composed it.

While listening to instrumental versions of their songs to help me relax when studying, I stumled upon the instrumental of this song, and boy, did the melody give me goosebumps, especially the chorus! I can’t believe I ignored this song just because the title didn’t sound appealing to me! What the heck was I thinking?!

Oh, well. I’m just going to enjoy the song.

*listens and daydreams.. err… nightdreams since it’s 8:36 pm*

Man, Yoochun is a musical genius!

~EDIT~

DBSK’s 4th Korean Album “Mirotic”  is almost out. I though I’d never like that song, but strangely it’s stuck in my head all day… I guess I like it then…

Someday

September 2, 2008

Remember my poem “A Friend’s Farewell” that I said I turned into a song about a year ago? Well, as a result of severe procrastination of studying and a request from my friend Jhen, I recorded it and uploaded it in Youtube. Here it is, entitled “Someday”…

Lyrics:

Someday (by Maria Erika D. Enriquez)

I always knew there will be a time for us to say goodbye
Here on Earth, everything’s ought to change
Even our friendship will fade out soon
It’s hard to admit, but it’s true

I know that if I go away today
Nothing will ever be the same for us again
But I’ll never forget the memories
And the dreams we share

That when we meet again someday
Even if we never could bring back the broken bond forever
We can still make a better bond, greater and stronger
We’d still be best of friends till the end of the end
I’ll wait…

My mind is young and unrefined, my heart frail and weak
I don’t really understand things so sharp and sleek
But let me tell you how you made me understand
How you made my narrow and child-bounded mind expand

You hold a part of me that I can’t live without
You made me see what life is all about
You’re not the perfect person all around
You’re not the perfect friend who never makes a sound

But I don’t care, I love you and that’s what matters now
I do not even need to make out a promise or a vow
You may not be the nicest nor the strongest one around
But you help me stand up when I fall on the ground
Tall and proud

Together we’ve been traveling in this long road of life
But here comes a point where the road’s been cut by a knife
The once one way had been divided by a cross
I don’t want to part but in this life I’m not boss

Before I step inside that metal bird
Before I finish packing up my jeans and shirts
Before I step outside the borders of our home
I have to make sure that you won’t feel alone

I can’t come back at once when you start to cry
Nor will I be there to boost you up when you become too shy
Just remember that you’ll never be alone
Even if I’m far away, in your heart I’m home

….Again someday…
Even if we never could bring back the broken bond forever
We can still make a better bond, greater and stronger
We’d still be best of friends till the end of the end
I know we’ll meet again someday
Even if we never could bring back the times we’re not together
I know you’ll wait for me and someday I’d be back
We’d still be best of friends till the end of the end
We’d drink beer, eat and laugh and I’ll never sing this song again
Someday
I’ll wait for that day
When we’re together again
I’m gonna be waiting for it
Waiting for it
Waiting for it…

It’s actually my fifth take and I still messed up a few lines, and my voice also cracked (how embarrassing…). But, yeah…

Dedicated to Boyle and Archimedes batch 2007  and the other graduating classes to come.

Boat Chronicles 2

September 1, 2008

The storm had subsided, but had gotten back with a vengeance. It hits our ship’s two founding masts. Panicked has struck us all. While one of the masts stood unmoved and strong against the winds, the other mast is starting to give out. It’s falling down, collapsing. It has reached its breaking point.

What more can we do?
