3. So Close by John Mclaughlin
"Romantic dreams must die. So I bid mine goodbye and never knew..."

From the movie Enchanted. Never pa kong naiyak sa isang kanta Mr. T! Pwera na lang kung yung song sa libing ko narinig. Pero etong kantang toh, grabe, shet, naalala ko. Hahaha! Habang nagtatype ako nun, iyak ako ng iyak and siya yung background music. Hanggang nung nag umaga nung araw na yun, siya tumutugtog. Nirepeat ko kasi. Sobrang iyak ako ng iyak nun. Pati si Sheila na katulong namin nun tinanong ako baket ako iyak ng iyak at ang lungkot pa ng pinakikinggan ko. We all love dramas. Masyado kong naging madrama ngayong taon na toh. Pero it felt good. Hindi ko makakalimutan tong kantang toh. Sobra akong pina-iyak nito...

2. Touch My Body by Mariah Carey
"Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous, I will hunt you down..."

First single ni Mariah sa bago niyang album na E=MC2. Naboringan ako nung una kong narinig. Promiscuous sabi ko. Pero nung nakita ko yung video. Naaliw ako. May sense of humor naman pala idol ko Mr. T! Earlier this year, mga January-March, eto ang headline ng lahat ng profile ko online. Aliw na aliw ako sa kantang toh until now. Sa totoo lang, ang dami kong naaalalang lalaking nakilala ko ngayong taon na toh sa kantang toh. Haha! The song is fun. At parang gusto ko ulit siyang kantahin sa mga tao sa 2009. Haha! And isang reason baket nakakaaliw tong song na toh is because of Dong-won Kim. Search niyo sa Youtube. Haha!

1. Disturbia by Rihanna
"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like this? I go crazy now..."

Mahal ko tong kantang toh. From August til now, when I sing this song to myself, I feel happy. Really, nung mga first week ko sa OJT, malungkot ako alam mo yan Mr. T! Pero isang play ko lang nito sa iPod ko, sumasaya ko. Weird. Lalo na pag nag BAM BAM DI RAM DUM DUM BI RAM DUM na si Rihanna. Sumasaya ako. Pag maglalakad ako til EDSA, irerepeat ko toh sa iPod ko. Pag nasa bus, eto pa rin yung song hanggang makauwi. Haha! I love the video too Mr. T! Magaling mga nagdidirect ng video ni Rihanna. Sad nga lang, hindi masyadong binigyan pansin ni Rihanna tong song na toh nung kinanta niya to nung concert niya dito. Parang feeling ko it would have been better. Pero tapos na yun and nasa record na naman toh. Yung version naman nito eh yun studio version. I love this song. I love the video of this song. I love Rihanna. :-) And til now, most played pa rin siya sa iPod ko. Hahaha!

Baka maging busy na sa bisperas ng Bagong Taon Mr. T! and hindi ko na mailagay toh. Kayang ako kaforgetful. Anyways, presenting, the 10 songs that I’m gonna incorporate 2008 with.

10. Labels Or Love by Fergie
“No emotional baggage just big bags filled with Dior”

Opening song ng Sex and the City. Kung single ka at bitter, masarap kantahin yan pramis! Hahaha! Tas binubusy mo sarili mo para hindi ka makaisip ng tungkol sa love. Haha! Ngayong year, pag nasa mall ako lagi ko kinakanta yan mag-isa. Hahaha! Pero masarap siguro magshopping kung may jowa kang kasama noh? Hmmm…

9. Chasing Pavements by Adelle
“Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere?”

Naku! Si Aris nagbigay ng song na toh sa kin. Hahaha! Kung merong maglalarawan ng pinagagawa ko ngayong taon na toh. Ito yung kanta na toh. Susme, kailangan pa bang imemorize toh? Hahaha! Emote song rin namin ni Barry toh sa kotse niya! Hahaha!

8. Take A Bow by Rihanna
“But it’s over now, go on and take a bow…”

I’ve always wanted to be as strong as the song nung summer. Pero wala pa kong powers nun. Kaya lagi ko na lang siya kinakanta. Tumatak na siya sa utak ko. Ayun, kaya ko rin pala maging strong. :-)

7. Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis
“You cut me open and I keep bleeding love…”

August 2007 pa lang alam ko na tong kantang toh. Diva kasi. Haha! Hindi ko alam kung dahil sobrang naging malaki tong kanta toh kaya andito siya sa list ko or dahil diva song siya for the longest time kasi walang bagong diva or dahil I keep bleeding love? Hmmm… Haha!

6. Finally by Fergie
“Finally now my destiny can begin. Though we will have our differences. Something strange and new is happening”

First ko napakinggan to nung nagsimba kami sa Manila Cathedral this year Mr. T! Nagplay siya sa iPod. Ang ganda nung meaning. Feel na feel ko bawat word ni Fergie sa kantang toh. Kala ko rin kasi magkakaFINALLY na ko nun eh! Hahaha!

5. Closer by Ne-Yo
“And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop”

Si Jeffrey nagpakilala ng song na toh sa kin. Ang sarap sayawin nito dun sa KTV room! Hahaha! Siomai! With Shyla pa yun! Hahaha! Hanggang ngayon napapasayaw ako ng kantang toh. And I love it!

4. All Dressed Up In Love by Jeniffer Hudson
“Cause I found love. I look good in love…”

Closing song ng Sex and The City. Masarap pakinggan tong song na toh kahit puros birit. Ganda kasi nung lyrics. Or dahil in love na in love ako nung mga Sex and the City moments? Hahaha! Basta tumatak na siya sa utak ko.

But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again"

14. One Step At A Time by Jordin Sparks
"It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we

One step at a time"

Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe"
