too complex for a paragraph or two. (also means i can't think of any description about myself)
i just found out that one of our favorite rocksteady tune from The Paragons, "Left With A Broken Heart", was a motown original of the Four Tops. It was also covered by Mr. Rocksteady himself, Ken Boothe.
"Rain From The Skies" is an Adam Wade
what's gwan?!

our recording was moved tomorrow(friday) 6pm. i was so pissed off yesterday. i wouldn't go into details for now, i still need some time thinking for some "measures". i was so bothered that i wasn't able to sleep last night, morning even. i don't know what came over me but i had an urge clean my entire wardrobe. a lot of old stuff may be given away.
it's starting to somehow seem symbolic to me...
eh one shirt made me smile.
simple things keep complex memories-

come with me, chase our dreams to reality
picture landscapes of you and me
like little lights swirlin' undersea
just look and see
You're the light that shines down on me
you're the light, i'll see this clearly
we are leaning towards destiny
dancin' to the beat, sweet rocksteady
doo roo roo, doo roo roo, doo roo roo roo roo roo roo
Love is like playing wildfire on paradise
you're melting souls like a cube of ice
piercin' hearts with a pair of eyes
that's what you do now
I just wanna lie next to you
that is something that i wouldn't mind do
we are gonna make this come true
come on darling i know you want to
the former "rocksteady#1" finally had a title

wish us luck!

the Artists’ Hike, an all-expense paid 2-day journey to meet the Dumagat themselves in the Dupinga Watershed of Gabaldon. This safe yet adventure-packed trip across the Dupinga River – guided by both the Dumagat and the mountaineers - will take you inside the Sierra Madre Mountain range to the very heart of the cause itself. This is LM’s most special way of thanking you.
yaay! i had a blast last saturday(errr... it supposed to be saturday night but we got to play like in the early hours of sunday) but it was fun overall. much thanks to the ateneo loyola moutaineers for including us in their annual benefit concert for the dumagats of gabaldon.
i basically went wild, i missed that feeling when performing. good thing, the crowd's still have energy left to ska away! we're supposed to follow to kolumn bar after our set but we ran out of time so.. we decided to stay since a sorely missed princess will be playing.
i missed listening to cynthia alexander so much that i sang along, i guess too loud haha, to my heart (and soul's) enjoyment.
the food was fun! the people, the music, the artists. it's always an honor playing for a group of noble cause. till next year! we'll be going to the artists' hike!
sweet! 2 gerhana skacinta videos are on youtube! sweet! sweet! sweet!

"Sunny Day"
Sunny day, off the road
I left my dear baby, yes it hurts
Now I'm all alone and sore
Rememberin' my baby, sunny day
Can't believe our tale is over
It was she and me against the world
she gave me her heart and i gave her mine but
they slipped in our hands, then we fell apart
she was mine, for a time
she was mine, oh yeah, for a time
Could it be just a dream?
Thinkin' someday maybe a spark will gleam?
The thing we had was so good oh baby
Will she be the love she were before?
she'd give me her heart and i'd give her mine and
we'd hold it together so we'd never part
she'd be mine for all time
she'd be mine oh yeah for all time
for all time

"Jamaican Beat"
We got a musical treat, it's called ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, it's called ska ska
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, just go ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, it's called ska ska
Get your feet on the floor, just go ska ska
So what you're waiting for? just go ska ska
Don't stop until your feet sore, just go ska ska
And you'll keep askin for more, some more ska ska
You've got to rock and shake it, come on, ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, come on, ska ska
Stand up and feel the heat, come on, ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, come on ska ska
