I love love Norah  Jones' first album. It's a  CD i'll take on a deserted island lol! I just came home from work one day and dropped myself on the couch. I turned on the TV and there is this beautiful dark-haired woman singing with fresh voice while walking barefoot on the beach. I was stunned. In-love. And in tears.

I bought  her CD, made copies and gave it to my friends. I even gave one to an office mate i was crushing on (hoping he'll listen to the track I've Got To Se You Again) hahahaa charing!! I play it whenever I worked late in the office. Maybe I have replayed the CD too much that one day  I just heard my then boss (who is also a gifted musician) singing along with The Nearness Of You.

oh it's a beautiful thing!

Hubby and i are celebrating today our three years as sweethearts (naks!). Hahaha, i don't know but i guess we celebrate it more than our wedding day. We started from a long distance relationship and maybe because we had it for real, we stick out to each other until the day he can come home and bring a wedding band. He was working back then in Saudi Arabia and i was at home in the Philippines.



Anyway, before we conceived Andreas, Ceasar sang this song for me after the wake of my mother-in-law in Kiangan, Ifugao. He is not so much into to public display of affection, so i was surprised he treated me to a song with his guitar in front of a small crowd.

What made it more memorable was i never told anybody i love this song and that this is the sound track of my all time favorite romantic movie, The Notebook. Watch the movie soundtrack here:



Thank you, honey, for always remembering and for being such a devoted father to Andreas. I love you. I love you.

loved-up Thursday

Aaarggh, i cannot sleep. I guess i had too much chocolate from the anniversary dinner we attended hihi. I was served a huge slice of chocolate mousse cake and it was soo heavenly i consumed it all. Now i am all perked up, nirvana won't come. Andreas is asleep now after i hummed an Ivatan song. It was the first time i did such and i figured i should sing to him that song more often. Heck it would be a shame if we bring him to Batanes and he doesn't know any Ivatan word.

Anyway, since today's main event was an invitation to our friends' six years of marriage, i decided to post the Ivatan lovesong i hummed to Andreas just before he fell asleep. The song talks about a lover's feeling, fearing somebody better will come along, and pleading to that special person not to leave no matter.

Asa kahep a mahanebneb
Du kariyal nu vuhan
Manalasal u apon
Du huvuk nu kamuhamuhan

Tawul ko nikandaduan
Pinuspusan mo iwangan
Makayamot du avid mo
Abu su kapalit

Makavuya ka panti
Su maypavid pa kan yaken
Karwan mo ava yaken
Du huvuk nu pandediwan

how swiiiift!

As i closed my yahoo mail, i quickly scanned the next page and saw a name Taylor Swift winning the Video of the Year Award for the recent Country Music Awards. I am not a big fan of country music. I can only endure Dixie Chicks and Simon & Gafunkel but my husband loves this genre so i went to check the video. And what a nice surprise! Not only is Taylor Swift young and very, very pretty but she has a great voice and she wrote an/or co-wrote all of the songs in her album. I really admire artists who perform their own material. So I am posting this award winning video for my husband. I know hubby will be thrilled to learn the new people on country music.
