country fan

i've always liked listening to country music. but it's only lately that i got hold of some of the songs i really like. western country music ain't that popular around here so it's really hard to look in record bars, much less the radio. thank god for limewire...now i get to download the contemporary country artists singles that i really dig. i dunno there's something about country music that is so soothing to the ear, it's always light and easy to listen to, it makes me feel really good inside. plus there's something in the lyrics together with the melody that makes 'em so innocent and romantic. the love expressed in their lyrics seem so pure and true, probably coz that's the kind of lovin' you get from the typical western southerner (promdi in other words...)

i know for one that rascal flatts is one of the best ones there is today. i got some of their songs and his songs are like short romantic comedies. then i recently discovered this country artist who apparently was on the second season of american idol. he's known for "country-fying" the songs he performed on the show. unfortunately he came in fourth, behind ruben, clay and this other girl...but he's really good, i listened to some of his performances on the show and he can really sing and his country style gave new flavor to the songs. he's already broken a record deal with one of 'em country labels and i downloaded his first two singles. i liked the first but i really love the second, i keep on repeating it on my mp3 player. try to get hold of it if you can.

Stay with me (Brass bed)
by Josh Gracin

Baby, the clock on the wall is lying
It's not really that late
It's too cold outside to be walking around the streets of this town
Anywhere if you think you have to be can wait

So why don't you stay with me?
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah

Baby, there's just no use in hiding
The way that I am feeling right now
With you standing there baby I swear I can't help but stare
Girl you're wearing me out, wearing me out

Baby stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay with me

Baby don't go it looks like it's starting to rain
And it's so warm here in this apartment wrapped up in this blanket
So Stay

Stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay
I’ll be alright as long as you stay with me

Stay with me

raves

finally something to rave about. but they're no biggies, just simple joys that don't happen very often...

yesterday, i got a text that i won LOST merchandise from a text contest i joined just the day before! i got this really cool blanket and a compass! wow i won something for the first time in my life.

ngayong araw naman na ito, ipinabasa ko sa klase ko sa malikhaing pagsulat ang aking ginawang tula noong lunes habang ako'y nakasakay sa kotse papuntang U.P. Pinagagawa kasi kami ng aming gurong si Jun Cruz Reyes, isang batikang manunulat, ng tula nung nakaraang linggo at kaunti lang kaming naglakas loob na ipakita sa klase ang aming gawa. nagustuhan ng prof namin ang gawa ko at binati pa niya ko matapos kaming idismiss. sabi niya ay parang hindi raw ako amatuer kung magsulat. siyempre natuwa ako. hindi ko inaasahan yon...

yun lang.
that's all.
katamad magsulat dito, may exam pa ko bukas...(dahil minsan, nakakapagod mag-inggles...)

hello 2006!

it's a bit late but what the heck it's just 4 days in the year...i've been quite busy for the past week doing my construction plate. it's a good thing my classes didn't start last monday like it was supposed to. ugh i hate to to back to school..after another fun christmas break full of shopping, gift-giving and getting, gimicks, shows, and endless visitors, i find myself alone at home again in a very long time. since it's a wednesday, i'm still school free, but not my siblings and cousins. they all start today, and i'm left here at home, alone. i'm quite used to it since it's always like this every wednesday...but something like this right after all the merry-making, it's kinda depressing...i actually wanna go back to school, just the school, not the schoolwork hehe...

i can't find anything on tv to watch so i popped in the pinoy big brother dvd my cousin got for christmas. i needed some background while fixing my school stuff so that it wouldn't be as boring or tedious...as i watched the first few episodes i remembered how the group was divided into the "social groups" early on. they all had problems with racquel. and i could see why, god she's unbearable...then there's franzen and his teary eyed moments. i can't believe how early the drama started in the house. it got me thinking...franzen and racquel were the first ones nominated, and again, i could see why. and i think it's safe to say that majority of people who watch it would agree that they deserved being nominated. yet, when the eviction night came, votes showed that people wanted the two to stay, thus the early demise of rico's stay in the house. somehow, it seems a bit ironic to me...yet i find myself realizing, it's the truth, it's reality, it really happens in society...take for example, how most people would get quickly irritated by poor people, may it be makulit streetchildren who ask for piso, or kurimaos who dress up like hip-hoppers and dye their hair blonde, i would say most people would avoid these guys and shoo them away if they asked for anything. and yet watching these poor children cry their hearts out on wowowee...somehow melts everyone's hearts and instatly gain sympathy. it's like we despise them but pity them when they seem so helpless. i wonder why...

i'm just babbling on here...it's just so lethargic here, i don't wanna move, i keep on thinking i'd be super busy in the next three months again...

anyway, i'll end this right here. i'll try to find somthing to do, someone to talk to or somewhere to go...
