Random Thoughts

I am a hopeless romantic. Let’s have that out of the way before you continue reading this blog. If you have read my blog about Aiza’s rendition of I Won’t Hold You Back , this is sort of the epilogue, the blogs are not really related but the song led me to look for Anna Scott’s (Julia Roberts) famous line, “I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Ouch… Well, let’s not be unfair to William Thacker (Hugh Grant). He is an unbelievably nice guy, who does not seem to get mad at the movie - considering what he’s been through. He had his heart broken by the same girl 3 times in the movie, I believe. Let’s take a look at the story first. It is not your typical love story, somewhat predictable but very interesting. It does not happen all the time as well. I mean, come on, what are the odds of John Lloyd Cruz eating at my store, spilling his shirt with a drink and offering him our house so he could change? Hmmmm.. well now that I think about i

Remember when you were a child and a song plays on the radio? You sing the song without really understanding it judge them by their melody. If you don’t, well I do. One of the songs I remember was You Don’t Love Me Anymore by Weird Al Yankovic. It is a sad song, a very sad song with a very sad melody. Back then, I could only hear its chorus clearly which states, got a funny feeling, you don’t love me anymore.  But when you start to listen carefully to the song and its lyrics, which I’m sure most of you did, your jaw would start to drop, then cover your open mouth, slowly close it and smile. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the lyrics of the song http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/weirdalyankovic/youdontlovemeanymore.html . "You Don't Love Me Anymore" We've been together for so very long But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong? Seems you don't want me around The passion is gone and the flame's died down

Last Sunday, Aiza Seguirra sang one of the most heartbreaking classics of all time –at least in my opinion. She sang I won’t Hold You Back by Toto. The original rendition is very good but I prefer the sessionanista’s version. There is something about Aiza’s voice that will make a sad song even sadder (sniff). The next thing I did was rush to my laptop and look for the lyrics of the song. Yes, I knew the melody but did not fully understand the song until yesterday. If you are not familiar with the lyrics, here it is courtesy of http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/toto-lyrics/i-won_t-hold-you-back-lyrics.html . I Won't Hold You Back lyrics Songwriters: Lukather, Steven; If I had another chance tonight I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right Time can't erase the love we shared But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared Now you're gone, I'm really not the same I guess I have myself to blame Time can't erase the things we said
