Broken But Stronger (Songs In My Playlist)



I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

1. A Little Bit Stronger - A remake by Danielle Bradbery (The Voice USA Season 4 Winner), as popularized by Sara Evans and also sang by Leighton Meester. Geeez, I'm not a tear jerk but I got kinda teary-eyed every time Danielle hits the chorus. Heart breaking yet empowering.

Awit na nananawagan, baka sakaling napakikinggan, Pag ibig na palaisipan sa kanta na lang idaraan 
Nag aabang sa langit, sa mga ulap sumisilip 
Sa likod ng mga tala, kahit sulyap lang darna
2. Narda - A remake by Krizza Neri (The Protege Winner), as popularized by Kamikazee. I personally believe that this is the best rendition of this song. Originally, a rock song but Krizza's angelic and soothing tone definitely made it more touching and heart-warming. Gave me goosies all the time!

And though there are times when I hate you
'Cause I can't erase
The times that you hurt me and put tears on my face
And even now, while I hate you,
It pains me to say
I know I'll be there at the end of the day

3. Broken-Hearted Girl - by Beyonce. Hands down to the Queen B for this song. Painful, yet tastefully delivered. The lyrics just hits me all the time! It brings out the broken-hearted in me



________________________________________________________________________





You make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show, so I’m
Puttin’ my defences up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack

4. Heart Attack - by Demi Lovato. You rock girl! I love the beat and I love to sing this song on my next Karaoke! I'm currently LSS with this song.

_______________________________________________________________________







These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times, we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you


5. These Are The Special Times - A remake by Christina Aguilera (My Kind of Christmas), as popularized by Celine Dione. The first X-mas song I've ever listened for the year 2013. haha! I feel that this song is not just applicable during the holiday seasons but for the rest of the year. It makes you reminisce all the special memories you had with a person, memories that we'll hold in our hearts forever.

Save Me From Myself

I'm doing the most important thing a man can do: listening to what I needed to hear from myself.

I learned not to be upset when my team came in second and I learned not to be surprised when my essay won second place and I didn't blink when I was the second best candidate in my first student council elections and I was happy being the runner-up in class but then, I don't know why it hurts so much when I was cancelled-out or when I became a back-up plan or when I waited clueless in the cold while someone is having a blast with their priority;... after all, i used to be ok to come in second , right?

 Today's a masquerade, all the world is a stage. I forced a smile when I wanted to frown. I tried to show the best face forward when I'm hurting inside. I tried to act as usual but I'm struggling inside. It's hard, very hard but I have to keep up with the pace. 

At one point, I realized that I'm just someone who can only suffice an aspect of a human being and though I know that I can never become the missing piece who will complete the puzzle, I still hoped to be valued, but sometimes people don't make it easy for you. If it comes to a point that a person would like to remove me from his/her equation, then I'll accept it. Sometimes we can almost mean nothing to someone who means so much to us. We just have to live with it. I'm on the edge, crumbled, feeling alone and about to lose my self-worth, thinking who's gonna save me from myself.

The 14-Minute Preview of "The Inheritors"

"The Inheritors" Teaser 5



This is the day! I'm so sure millions of Lee Min Ho fans are very much excited and ecstatic on the premiere of "The Inheritors". How I wish this will be shown real time here in the Philippines. But the question is, Is this just gonna be another "Boys Over Flowers"? or will it be the Asian version of "Gossip Girl"? I can't wait how the story will unfold. The teaser above is the 5th teaser for the drama. So cute when Park Shin-Hye walks unconsciously between Lee Min Ho and the other actor. Well, the long wait is over! Scream #Minoz!!!!

Bedazzled by "The Kung-Fu Divas"

I watched "Kung Fu Divas" last Sunday, October 6, 2013 at the Eastwood City with Jameson Tayguts (who happens to be Marian's avid fan). As usual, I waited for the V.I.P. to arrive. The "Gu Jun Pyo waiting in the snow" has always been my "peg". Hahaha! I was kinda looking forward to watch the movie because the trailer captivated my interest. My expectations were not too much but it should be good because it's a Star Cinema movie and it should be interesting because it's Marian's first movie with her home network's rival. It was the last full show (10:50 PM) at the Eastwood Mall Cinema 4 so I wasn't really expecting a lot of people anymore.

A lot of Filipino movie-goers will definitely say that our local fantasy/ adventure films are mediocre in the aspect of special effects or at worst, below-par as compared with international blockbuster movies. Personally, I believe that "Kung Fu Divas" will pave the way for local producers and the movie industry to produce more realistic and astounding effects in movies. (Just consider the upcoming remake of "Darna" and "Magic Temple")

The movie doesn't merely offer dazzling and magical special effects but it touches the heart. It will make you laugh and cry as it depicts the struggles, conflicts and the epic journey of the two main characters - Charlotte (played by AiAi Delas Alas) and Samantha (played by Marian Rivera), who were rivals at first then became allies in the end. It was indeed a roller coaster ride. The flashbacks were effectively executed. The cinematography and digital effects were breathtaking. The production design was superb and costumes were craftfully fabricated. The musical score was very appropriate. The fight scenes were choreographed intricately.

The big question is, who's the better actress? Well, I really couldn't compare AiAi and Marian because they are two different styles. What I love about AiAi is her ability to transition from moments of intense drama to sudden comedic lines. Whereas, Marian is a natural actress who was not trying hard and delivered what is needed from her. Marian was able to prove that she is a versatile actress. I'm learning to love her day by day. I hope she does more movies with Star Cinema. By the way, the guy, Edward Mendez, was hot. He will definitely, make the girls' panties drop. Hahaha.

I also love the twists in the movie. Well, I won't reveal the details as it may spoil the interest and excitement. You'll never imagine Samantha's evolution in the movie. Hahaha! So you better watch it! Expect the unexpected.

I really couldn't pin-point my favorite part but the beauty pageant scene was remarkable. Marian was so stunning! It was very fun to watch. The fighting scenes in the end were kinda draggish. But that's ok because all the positive points of the movie compensated for it.

My verdict? Hmmmm... 9.9/10 stars. Highly-recommended! I really hope the movie does well. I read somewhere in FB that it needs to hit the P150 million mark to make up for its expenses and achieve its target profit. Some people say it earned P5 million during the first day, some say P10 million while the others say it's already in the P100 million mark. I can't wait to see the figures in Box Office Mojo.Post Movie:

After the movie, Tayguts and I went for a videoke at the Karaoke Republic in Timog. Tayguts seemed to be very tensed while singing. Hello? it's just me, no reason to be tensed at all! Hahaha. This time, the Sunrise Tequila was kinda strong ( well, better than the plain "orange juice" taste last time). I feel i'm becoming a better singer. Hahahaha. Anyway, the videoke session was kinda bitin because the staff were seemed to be rushing home. Next stop was Starbucks Metrowalk. It was almost 5 Am and while on board the taxi to Starbucks, a Christmas Song is being played...then tears suddenly started to flow from someone's eyes...Hehehe...I don't wanna go into details anymore as he might kill me if I say it here. I just want to let you know that I'm here! (hehe and now I'm the one teary-eyed). Moving forward, it was a nice talk about the past while having our Frappe and puffing some ciggy. And off course, there were a lot of debates, arguments, exchanges. These are inevitable when we're together. While morning sun is stinging my eyes, we diverted into throwing out some Trivias. It was like competing in giving out a trivia with that "WOW factor". I have to accept that my trivias were kinda lame because my mind wasn't really working at that time. Jameson Tayguts did great! Whay was there no Mercury in any SM mall? Where did "Pasig" originated from? Who is the "Divine" Princess? What's the richest country in the world?...and so on and so forth. Ikaw na! It was fun, we didn't even notice it's almost lunch time. Our final itinerary was Chowking Cubao. Tayguts had his meal while I was trying so hard to finish my halo-halo. My tummy felt so heavy and I felt like vomitting. Discussion was all about job interview! Possible questions and answers. Good Luck Tayguts! Soar high! I believe in you! hehehe. Pack-up at 12 NN (after 17 hours). Whatta Sunday!!!
