I See the Light in Tangled

I was checking the Facebook Wall Posts of my friends and saw this video posted by Mommy Dharlz. I watched it and somehow it feels good to listen and see the animated video/story of  Tangled. Somehow, I can relate with the lyrics. When I was growing up, I remember those nights when I was sitting at the back wooden stairway of our house. I love staring at the skies with so many stars and make a wish. Our house stood along the edge of the river banks of Cagayan de Oro City, PI. For me, it  was the best place to see so many stars. I was just star-gazing and dreaming that someday, I will buy a house with a roof top so I can appreciate the beauty of the bright stars even more. I am grinning right now because that childlike wish became a reality. That is just a superficial wish and there's depth into that. Enjoy your Tuesday everyone. Take time to listen and keep dreaming.

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you

My Destiny by Katharine Mcphee

Did you watch the second season of SMASH this week? If you missed it, you should mark your calendar for next week's episode and .... onward because this show is thrilling and full of superb talents in acting and the music is jaw-dropping (wink). Katharine Mcphee is one of my favorite lead characters in SMASH. I remember her as a contestant in 2006 of the Fox reality show American Idol. She was my favorite but became the runner up while Taylor Hicks was named American Idol in season 5. Anyway, here’s one of her beautiful songs that I love to listen.

MY DESTINY by KATHARINE MCPHEE

I have always dreamed of this
I'll admit that there was something I missed
Wondering if it is for real
Every mistake, every wrong turn
Every time I lost my way
Lead me to this moment of bliss tonight.

With you finally I can break free
With you it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be.

You were always by my side
That you believed in me was enough reason why
I didn't stop, didn't give up, even if I sometimes I lost hope
I did my best and I am blessed in life

With you finally I can break free
With you it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned to be, yeah

Can I get any higher?
Tell me, does it get any stronger?
I owe it to you that I made it through
I never could have done it without you

With you (Finally I can break free)I can break free, yeah
It's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be yeah
(Finally I can break free)
Oh, ‘cause of you it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, it's so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be
I've realized that it's my destiny

Reason Enough by Regine Velasquez

I was posting the blogpost about Oldies Music and and I made mention about the word "reason enough " and the song of Regine Velasquez just popped up in my mind. Oh my goodness, I miss this song. Funny that I can remember the song and forgotten why it was so special back then. Let me think hmmm....

I made myself a promise some time ago
Never again to give my heart away
Fell in love with someone who left me in the end
The price of love was just too high to pay
I thought my life had ended, but you came along
And showed me how much brighter things could be
Now you see I've turned my back
On that promise that I made
Knowing that your love has set me free

REFRAIN:

(`Cause) You are reason enough for me to go on living
You are reason enough for me to smile again
In a world where hearts are broken

Every now and then
One finds reason enough to love
Like I've found reason enough in you to love again
So here I am, all caught up in this new found love
Feeling like I've never felt before
Putting my love on the line with you
And taking a chance again
I'm not afraid to love anymore

(Repeat Refrain)

In a world where hearts are broken
Every now and then
One finds reason enough to love
Like I've found reason enough in you to love again

Nah! I remember so well >o<. I listen to this song over and over when "Babes" left me in exchange to pursue his Dentistry career in the US. We both made the right decision because I am happy with my married life now. I pray that he is successful and happy in his life too. In my case, time heals all wounds!

If you are heart broken, don't despair! It happens for a reason so; live your life. Heartaches will be gone in due time. If you think that your life has ended, look around you. Your family and friends love you dearly. Most of all, love yourself and that is reason enough to keep on living don't you think? Cheer up!

Caylee: She's Going Places

This is a tribute for Caylee Anthony written by Cledus T Judd featuring Gary Levox from RASCAL FLATTS. What a tearjerking music indeed! Let's accept the truth that the case is closed! Let us not stressed ourselves in finding Justice for this little girl. No matter what we do, the Jurors voted NOT GUILTY and it's close! Vote for Caylee's Law instead so that, there will never be another Caylee who will suffer a terrible death!


She was just a baby, barely 2 years old
A story that shouldn’t have to be told
See that little girl with big brown eyes
Stole our hearts and touched our lives
Now we cry, ’cause we can’t understand

You see she wanted to learn to play guitar,
Be a ballerina or movie star
She could’ve gone so far

She can be anything that she wants to
She can ride her bike every afternoon
She can laugh and play
With her dolls and games
Just like all little girls should get to do
Too young for her life to be taken
She’s going places

I bet she’d spend her time skipping rope
Drawing rainbows on streets that are paved with gold
Get to ride a big wheel jumping curves
In a parking lot of a great big church
And I wish I could see it all

But her memory will live on right here
Till i get over there
And see her again

She can be anything that she wants to
She can ride her bike every afternoon
She can laugh and play in those backyard games
Just like all little girls should get to do
Too young for her life to be taken
Shes going places

She can play kickball
Go swim and see-saw
Just like all little girls should get to do

We will sing sweet Caylee’s praises
She’s safe in the arms of God’s good graces
She’s going places

America the Beautiful

written by: Katharine Lee Bates

Happy Fourth of July! I would like to share this song to all of us who enjoyed the Gift of FREEDOM and LIBERTY which this country has given us!

( This is a poem by Katharine Lee Bates, first appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, on July 4, 1895. She revised the lyrics in 1904 and again in 1913- source:kids.niehs.nih.gov)

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.



America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

Firework by Katy Perry

I'm taking a short break from PC work and listening to my favorite station in YouTube. Sharing you the lyrics too so we can sing together. Happy listening/singing people! Don't Shout hehehe!

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe"


Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Don't Let the Sun Go Down On me

I was listening to music today and here it is, Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me played on the radio. Constantly, I heard this song from Elton John whether I used my XM radio or watching TV shows. This is really a popular song because I heard it in the Amerian Idol and the Voice. In fact, David Archuleta has a nice version of it too. Take a moment to listen and familiarized yourself with the lyrics. Hoping you like it and happy listening.



I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's much to late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of fife
But you misread my meaning when i met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way i feel
Don't discard me just because you think i mean you harm
But these cuts i have, oh they need love to help them heal

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Time For Miracles:2012 Soundtract

I was watching the marathon movie regarding the Mayan Prophecy from all sources and it gives me chills. The world will definitely end but, we will never know when it will happen. Predictions served us an awakening that we should co-exist, we should love one another and live according to what balances the nature! If the world ends, humanity will vanish! Watch the movie 2012, it's pretty interesting! By the way, this is the theme song of that movie!

by: Johannes, Alain; Shneider, Natasha;

It's late at night, and I can't sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can't breathe, thinking of your smile

Every kiss I can't forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God, I wish I could make you see

'Cause I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
You know that maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
No, I ain't giving up on us

I just want to be with you
'Cause living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes

The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see

'Cause I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
You know that maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love

Baby can you feel it coming?
You know I can hear it, hear every soul
Baby, when you feel me feeling you
You know it's time

Baby you know that maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
You know that maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love

No, I ain't giving up
No, I ain't giving up on us

Angel by Sarah MacLachlan

Whenever hubby heard this song in XM Radio, he would turn the volume up. He just loves the song and I don't see why. This is a sad song but full of hope and compassion to someone. This song was inspired by Jonathan Melvoin's death, a keyboardist of Smashing Pumpkin group who died of drug overdose. The melody would drive you to the world of serenity and bring you in a placid mood. If you happen to see the movie City of Angels starring Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage, this song made it to the number 1 in the billboard chart. That movie is one of my favorites. I cried rivers at the end of the movie. Sigh!

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh a beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight life
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Gwyneth Paltrow On Glee

I forgot to save the latest episode of Glee which is SEXY. Gwyneth Paltrow is Holly, came back as a Sex Ed substitude. OH yeah :-) She's teaching the students about sex education through music. Relax, listen and I hope you like her version.

This song was written by Stevie Nicks in 1975.

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till Landslide brought me down

Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm mmm I don’t know
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm

Well I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older, I’m getting older too

Soo (Interlude)

I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I
I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, children get older
I’m getting older too
I’m getting older too
Soo take this love, take it down
Ohh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down, down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills,
Well maybe, the landslide will bring it down
Well well the landslide with bring it down
