Day 9

Day 9, A song that you can dance to. Jingle Bell Rock from Mean Girls

Thanks to Econ100.1 Christmas presentation for Professor Solita Monsod. We did NOT dance exactly this way, btw.

Day 8

Day 8 A song you know all the words to: UP Naming Mahal, composed by Nicanor Abelardo

On top of my head. haha! I had to memorize this as early as in my freshman year because of UP MCO. Oh the memories. This came in handy when I took the Cheerleading PE class since the school hymns are sung every after basketball game. Not to mention graduation where I sung this whole-heartedly (ehem).

Day 7

A song that reminds you of a certain event: Conway Twitty and Joni Lee - Don't Cry Joni

This is a very old song. I remember hearing this song on the radio on lazy afternoons when I was little. Last month my sister found this song in the Magic Sing karaoke we were using and lo, the birthday girl sung this. Hallooo my dear sister, if you happen to read this, know that well I remember you. Come home and cook pasta for me. haha

Day 6

A song that reminds you of somewhere: America - You can do Magic

This old song reminds me of our room in our old house. Every morning our yaya will turn the radio on so we know it's time to wake up. This song always turns up. It's like a station ID. The radio station's name is Magic. So there.

Day 5

A song that reminds you of someone: Carol Banawa - Muntik na Kitang Minahal

An original music from the Filipino group The Company, Muntik na Kitang Minahal expresses regret for a love lost. In English it says "I almost loved you."

The song became popular around the 90's to he early 2000's, I think. What I remember is that it was waaay back when I was little.

Who this song reminds me of? A good friend who sung this at videoke one night. Maybe this was why the Timezone crew was telling us they're closing down and we had to leave. Thanks to her I couldn't help but laugh (or give a smile) when I hear this song.

Day 4

Day 4 - A song that makes you sad: Celine Dion - I love you goodbye

Not just this song, but most heart-felt sad love songs make me... sad. Not that I can relate to it, but you'd have to admit it, this one for example tells a very sad story. And I'm a sucker for sad stories. Another song goes "sad movies always make me cry." I say "sad love songs often drive me to tears" or something like that.

Nina and Juris's versions are also good.

Day 3

Day 3 - A song that makes you happy: King Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight

How can one not smile, hearing this song? Both the original King Harvest version and the one by Toploader, introduced to our generation by A Walk to Remember, never fail to make me smile. It's a happy song.

For more happiness, there's the Toploader version too:

Alyson Stoner's version of the song has a cute music video I saw on YouTube. However, the beat was not the happy, feel-good beat of King Harvest and Toploader. It was cute and dance-y but not the one that makes listeners let loose (in a good way).

Day 2

Day 2 - Your least favorite song: Jessie J. - Do it like a Dude

I dislike it so much I wouldn't even embed a video of it. Ugh.

Don't get me wrong, I'm on hating on the singer. I like her voice and her song Price Tag. She's like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in one. But this song is just trying too hard.

Day 1

I know this will be cut short for a couple of days (weeks, I think) but I just couldn't resist.

Day 1 - Your favorite song: Adele - Turning Tables

Well at least for now. It's on loop.

I couldn't help but love Adele. By chance I came across her Chasing Pavements live video in YouTube and I loved it! What makes her great is not just her voice, or the emotion in her singing, or the compositions themselves, but the fact that people would want to LISTEN to her music. It's not just about watching videos of scantily clad women dancing, or wiggling their bodies like electrocuted worms (yung parang kinuryenteng bulate lang).

Kudos to Glee for featuring some songs by Adele. I personally liked Gwyneth Paltrow's (Holly Holiday) cover of this song.
