Songs that Make Us Sing Saturdays: Let's Get Physical

Two weeks from now my kid is going back to school. That means, we won't be together and I will be having more mom-Me time, teehee! As early as now, I am already planning on doing a lot of things while the kid is on school. Perhaps, its time to do some gardening again or perhaps time for me do some exercising. Oh, exercising!, that's one thing that this mom needs nowadays especially since I am not getting any younger. Time for me to go get the sneakers and head on to the gym or perhaps just get a aerobics video that I could follow at the comfort of our home. This song will be my everyday companion then. I am getting excited at getting fit!

The Real Dreamgirl

Everything started out as a dream. And she worked hard to attain that dream. And now, the votes have been tallied and America had named a new Idol. Honestly, I have already predicted that another WGWG (white guy with guitar) will make it to the top. But, yes, I hoped that my prediction will be wrong. I have always believed in the talent of this 16 year old Latina-Filipina-American that is Jessica Sanchez. How could you not be impressed with such a powerful voice and awesome talent framed in her petite bod? A lot of people actually rooted for her, but the prestige of being this season's ultimate American Idol is just not for her. Let us just wait until they both work on the real music world. After all, it's not the number of votes that defines the true winner but it is the way how one will be remembered after the competition is over. And I heard Tommy Mottola is already signing her up,right? Meanwhile, you might wanna checkout the highlight of American Idol season 11 results show.
She might not be lucky to win the coveted title but she will be truly remembered thru this performance and perhaps should there be another remake of "Dreamgirls", the producers might even consider her. But for the whole Philippines, Jessica Sanchez, is truly an Idol. You are never to far from attaining your dreams, girl!

My Wake Up Song

I still can't get over the Juday-Ryan special that have been aired about two weeks ago. I am really not a fan of Judy Ann although I believe she is one of the few good young actresses that we have right now. I actually watch the wedding special because the post-production was done by my uncle. He is no less than Danny Anonuevo, the editor of Ploning and Baler. But then, what actually got me glued to the screen was the fact that the Apo Hiking Society was singing their songs. I must have been born on the wrong era ( Hubby always tells me this) because I love songs from the past. One particular song that I really love from the APO was titled "Love is for Singing". The tune was so light that you can't help but sing with it. For almost a week now, this has been my wake up song from Hubby. He just lets me wake up to this wonderful song. I know that if he could only sing a tune, he'd gladly sing this for me but then again that's a different story.

Love Is For Singing

The Bloomfields

Let me tell you about
Love

Love is for singing this little tune
Love is for rhyming odd things and moon
Love is for writing songs that end in June, hmm
Love is for knowing I’ll see you soon

Love is for writing songs with mushy lines
Love is for singing these lines in rhyme
Love is for making memories of time, oh yeah
Love is for knowing you’ll soon be mine

Love is for silly, silly things
That you’ll never think of doing
And all of a sudden little things
Have bigger meanings

It’s getting up at night
And climbing up a tree so high
And then you try and touch the sky
And you ask why, why, why (oh why)

It’s getting up at night
And climbing up a tree so high
And then you try and touch the sky
And you ask

Love is for answering these crazy, crazy questions
Love is for getting to the answers through emotions

Cause love is a wonder
And it’s a thrill when you’re under
Its spell your heart beating thunder
Because she’s there

Love is a wonder
And it’s a thrill when you’re under
Its spell your heart beating thunder
Because she’s there

Lalalalalalalalala
(Let me tell you ’bout love/yeah)

Are you humming any song right now? Care to share?

He really can sing

What good to start blogging again than by bragging about a song recorded by my brother. Yes, the song below has my youngest brother's voice. He did it for a company's event. Haynaku, tagal ko na kasi kinukulit itong mokong na ito na mag audition sa mga singing competitions eh. Sabi ko pa nga eh di dapat dalawa na tayong nakikita sa TV kasi I will be his talent manager. Anyways, a good singing voice runs in the family but then I am an exemption to that, haha! My mom and other titas used to sing sa mga barrio competitions noong mga dalagita pa lang sila sa provincia. To which, they always bring home the bacon. Lolo trained them and he was also their guitarist. Kaya, yes tama ang hula nyo, videoke is a staple pag merong okasyon sa pamilya namin. At kahit pa maging sementeryo ang puntahan namin at walang kuryente, di sila papapigil sa videoke. Haha!, kesehodang bumangon ang mga nananahimik, carry lang kasi talagang magaganda ang mga boses nila. Oh well, enough with the bragging. kayo na po ang bahalang humusga sa future ng brother ko sa singing at sana tulungan nyo ako na hikayatin sya.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
