Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)

Gustung-gusto ko talaga 'tong kantang 'to, ay, talumpati pala. Pagnalulungkot ako at wala na talag puwedeng mapaglabasan ng hinanakit, ang bisa nitong pakinggan tagos talaga ang mga sinasabi kahit anong problema mo may solusyon na mababanggit sa titik (lyrics!) ng kanta. Disgrasya ko lang na diskubre itong kanta na 'to. Matagal na akong naghahanap ng CD-OST ng pelukula ng Romeo + Juliet, yung pinagbibidahan ni Leonardo DiCarpio at saka ni Claire Danes. Magaganda kasi ang mga kanta na ginamit sa pelikulang 'to. Sa suwerte ko ba naman ay nakakita ako ng Soundtrack nga ng Romeo + Juliet, sa Delgic (tindahan ng pirata sa Lucena City)! Ang kahulihulihan nga na track nung CD na nabili ko ay may pamagat na Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen). Kaya naman pala ulit nag-release ng kopya ng OST ang Romeo + Juliet ay dahil sa ika-10 taong anibersaryo na nung pelikulang 'yon nitong 2007 simula ng i-release ang Romeo + Juliet noong 1997. Kaya, masasabi ko lang... wear sunscreen!

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
Baz Luhrman - Romeo + Juliet

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97... wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be IT.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

You are NOT as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Always Be My Baby

Wala akong masasabi. Parehong maganda itong dalawang kanta kahit kaninong version. Ang maganda kay DC, hindi niya sinira yung version ni Mariah. Maganda pa ring pakinggan naman ang version ni Mariah kasi orig at stlye niya 'to na mala-RnB o RnB na nga. Hindi nakaumay pakinggan. Kahit pa ulit-ulitin na magkasunod ang magka-ibang version, ok lang sa tainga.

David Cook - Always Be My Baby Lyrics

We were as one, babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'm lettin' you fly
'Cause I know in my heart, babe
Our love will never die
No

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry, no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave, girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart, babe
Our love will never end
No

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back, girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
I know that you'll be right back, babe
Oh baby, believe me
It's only a matter of time

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my..
My baby

You'll always be a part of me
(You will always be..)
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
(We will linger..)
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
Always be my baby..

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me

Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back, boy
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
I know that you'll be right back, baby
Oh baby, believe me
It's only a matter of time
Time

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

Liar.. Liar..

Ang mga sinunggaling na kapansin-pansin sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay.. haay.

  • “Oh maluwag pa ‘yan. Maluwag pa. Maluwag pa. Dalawa pa sa tig-kabilaan oh. Kaliwa’t kanan pa po ‘yan oh. Makikidasig-dasig na nga po.” -sa jeepney
  • “Suki, sariwa ‘yan suki. Suki, bili ka na, suki. Magandang-maganda pa ‘yan oh. Tingnan mo pa oh. Mura dito sa akin, suki. Bili ka na dito sa akin, suki.” -sa palenke
Liars go to hell.
