MMMiii!

Entity feat. misan - Where’d You Go

Matt’s been away too long. He doesn’t reply to my SMS and so far he’s only messaged me twice. I wonder if he’s just in some Michigan bed and breakfast place and not telling me. >_<

Anyway, I met this girl at Dine and Jam today. She’s a student at Sarah’s Mom’s Tagalog school and she’s studying… Tagalog. What else? When I asked her where she was from, she just said, “The States.” So I asked her which state she was from, and she said, “Michigan. No one knows where it is, that’s alright.”

Why is there no 1? Because I was too busy back then that I even forgot its voting period. AFM stands for Anime Fan Music and it’s something that  bj0rn just started recently. He’s one of the people I work with (or rather, I should be working… with…) in the fansub group I belong to.

Anyway,AFM Season 2 Voting Begins!  and I have two entries there. Both from ARIA the NATURAL. Natsumachi and Symphony. Natsumachi is originally by ROUND TABLE feat. Nino and Symphony is by Makino Yui.

I didn’t have bj0rn’s blog on Reader and I didn’t really follow it. I only checked whenever I see him quit on IRC and I click his link to his blog. Then two days ago he asked me if I wasn’t joining…

Here is a song that has truly touched my heart. Well, I finally went and did it. I recorded it with myself on the guitar. I couldn’t do a more dramatic rendition of it, but I did put my whole heart into it, so much that I feel my fingers were going to bleed if I didn’t stop playing it.

According to the websites I saw while looking for the lyrics and translation, it was used as an insert song in a drama called Perfect Love. I’ll look for that drama and watch it as soon as I finish school.

Version 1

Version 2

I know you might say there isn’t much difference, but with Version 1, I was already getting hoarse and if it was full of emotion, like sounding almost going to cry, it was because my fingers hurt so much already. With Version 2, I tried hitting the high notes better, but I think it wasn’t as emotional sounding as the first one.

Oh well. Here are the lyrics:

Masaharu Fukuyama - Squall (Taken from megchan.com)

Because I know I suck, I’m also going to include Masaharu Fukuyama’s and Eiko Matsumoto’s versions.

Masaharu Fukuyama - Squall

Eiko Matsumoto - Squall

I’m so stressed out with school, I feel I’m going to break…

My last post was about blogging addiction. I replied to Dawud Miracle’s post about having a timetable. But that really just applied to me during schooldays. So here I am, so early in the morning, blogging. Anyways, I was thinking, I don’t think I’m really that addicted to blogging, so I was surprised with my blogging addiction score. So I thought about what I’m really addicted to.

I now present my Top 5 list of addictions.

1. Noodles
   For first time readers of this blog, or for those who don’t know me, I am a noodle addict. Noodle soup type, fried noodle type, instant (just add hot water), home made, or stove-cooked (semi-instant), pasta–I eat. I stay away from the crunchy noodle type though.I love noodles so much, that I explore not just local brands or common recipes, but even the foreign noodles aisle. Chinese, Taiwanese, Expired Taiwanese, Hong Kong…ese, Indonesian, Singaporean, Japanese, American (?), Korean, Thai, and… I Think that’s it. I like to taste different kinds even if they’re spicy, sweet, salty, weird, one time it was a little rubbery.

   I’ve tasted all local noodles as well. My favorite local pancit type is Payless Chilimansi XL (But I add some condiments as well, like chili flakes, Maggi Savor Calamansi, Old English Worcestershire sauce, Chili powder, Oyster sauce, Garlic Sauce, Oyster Garlic Sauce… and they go in rotation so they never taste the same!)One time, I accidentally put too much Chili Flakes… :) I was sent to hell and back, and I couldn’t feel my tongue for a couple of hours.

   

   This is actually supposedly one of my creative shots for my grad pictures… But I didn’t have this one printed. Maybe I should have coz this totally represents me. Except I forgot to put on the headset that I brought.

2. Daddi
   Enough said. I’m addicted to my Daddi. That’s what I call Matt.
3. Music
   I am a music addict. I’m running out of space for my music. I would readily delete my anime and dramas and movies to give way to my music files. They’re mostly Japanese, a big chunk of Chinese, a small chunk of Korean… better stop here. :D

   

   Do I need to explain? Fine. At the lower portion, the number 23386 is the number of songs… 9wk 1d 10:54:14 is total playtime of all of those. The ones in the middle are drive spaces and stuff. In case you didn’t notice, I had the Anime and Game OSTs in another drive that was not designated for music. The songs I recorded are included in the list. They’re in I:\ but they’re less than 3GB.

4. Internet
   This includes my computer, mIRC, blogging, surfing, image boards, downloading, anime, drama, and so on.See first pic. To the left is a computer monitor.
5. Cute Stuff
   Cute people need cute stuff.

   
   

Panda! Need I say more?

The ones that didn’t make the list but are my current addictions: Lipton Red Tea, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry milk & Melon milk, Choco Flakes, clutter.

DO IT TOO!!!

I don’t know if anyone noticed the OMFG Blah! page to the left…. I sing Karaoke. I use a program that plays an instrumental or karaoke version of a song, and I sing along with it. The voice is recorded. After that, I can add effects like echoes and stuff, then mix it. I do this for fun, even if I put my soundclick songs to paid downloading for most of my recordings. It’s just for US$0.25 though. XD I dunno if anyone would be willing to buy, but heck, I need money. Might as well give it a try.

I’m on various websites and forums other than that soundclick one, like OMGSONG and VoiceActingAlliance to promote myself or something but not really. I’m pretty popular on OMGSONG though. >_>  Dunno what people hear in my voice. They must be masochists.

Anyway, on OMGSONG….

Just fixed it again. but yeah… Coz he isn’t as forgotten as I thought. Translation follows.

Nasaan Ka Na, Bonifacio?

.

I

Nasaan ka na, Bonifacio?

Isa ka na lang bang malamig na monumento

Na nakatayo doon sa Balintawak

Kung saan ninakaw ang iyong itak?

.

II

Kumusta ka na, Bonifacio?

Buhay mo pa ba’y isang natatanging kwento?

Isa ka na lang bang yugto sa kasaysayan?

Kawawa ka naman, ikaw na’y nakaligtaan.

.

Chorus 1

Bonifacio, Bonifacio

Saan ka man naroroon, itong awitin ko’y aking handog sa iyo

Malimutan ka man ng mga tao dito

Ako’y naririto, umaawit para sa iyo

.

III

Napano ka na, Bonifacio?

Bayani ka pa ba sa kanilang puso?

O di kaya’y napalitan ka na ng kung sino

Ano na ang nangyari sa ala-ala mo?

.

Repeat C1

.

Instrumental

(lalalalalala)

.

IV

Paano na ba, Bonifacio?

Naaalala ka pa ba ng mga Pilipino?

Nasayang lang ba ang itong mga nagawa?

Ang bayan mong ito, may pag-asa pa kaya?

.

Chorus 2

Bonifacio, Bonifacio,

Kung ika’y naririto ngayon, ano kayang sasabihin mo?

Sasabayan mo ba ako sa himig kong ito?

Tara! Samahan mo akong iparinig ito sa bayan mo!

.

Repeat C1, C2

.

Bonifacio, Bonifacio

Saan ka man naroroon, itong awitin ko’y aking handog sa iyo

Malimutan ka man ng mga kababayan mo

Bayani ka pa rin dito sa puso ko

.

Bonifacio, Bonifacio

Bayani ka pa rin dito sa puso ko

.

San ka papunta, Bonifacio?

Maaalala ka pa kaya ng mga Pilipino?

Nasayang lang ba ang iyong mga nagawa?

Ang bayan mong ito, may pag-asa pa kaya?

Where are you now, Bonifacio?

.

I

Where are you now, Bonifacio?

Have you become just a cold monument

There at Balintawak

Where your itak was stolen?

.

II

How are you, Bonifacio?

Is your life still a unique story?

Haev you become just another chapter in history?

Poor you, people don’t give you much attention now.

.

Chorus 1

Bonifacio, Bonifacio

Wherever you are, I’m singing this song is for you.

People may forget you here, but

But I’ll still be here, singing for you.

.

III

What has happened to you, Bonifacio?

Are you still a hero in their hearts?

Maybe someone else has replaced you

What has happened to your memory?

.

Repeat C1

.

Instrumental

(lalalalalala)

.

IV

What now, Bonifacio?

Will the Filipinos still remember you?

Were your deeds just put to waste?

This nation of yours, does it still have hope?

.

Chorus 2

Bonifacio, Bonifacio,

If you were here right now, what would you be saying?

Would you be singing this melody with me?

Let’s go! Join me in letting the country hear this!

.

Repeat C1, C2

.

Bonifacio, Bonifacio

Wherever you are, I’m singing this song is for you.

Your countrymen may forget you, but

You’re still a hero in my heart.

.

Bonifacio, Bonifacio

You’re still a hero in my heart.

.

Where are you going, Bonifacio?

Will the Filipinos still remember you?

Were your deeds just put to waste?

This nation of yours, does it still have hope?

Hopefully, by tomorrow, i would have recorded and uploaded the song… >_>

Yeah, i’m quite serious about it.
