Juan Thing Remains

It's been a long time.  Been very busy these days, syempre buhay kolehiyo. 3rd year 2nd Sem. Pasalamat ako mayroong bumulong sa akin na gawin ito. :D I hope many will appreciate my appreciation. So, without further adieu, here you go!! 1. Young The Giant - Anagram This song makes me cringe every time. Good blending of instruments. Nice arrangement. POETIC! This became my travelling companion. 2. Glass Towers - Tonight Sounds like Two Door Cinema Club, but with distinct rock vibe. Good song. 3. Young The Giant - Daydreamer This song deserves more than just one listening.  4. Kimbra - Wandering Limbs Soulful, great harmony and great cover. 5. Tame Impala - The Moment Soothing electronica/psychedelic vibe.  6. Tame Impala - Less I Know the Better Good vibes!! The bassist killed it! 7. December Avenue - Ears and Rhymes Awesome OPM. Drammatic. The melody just made me ask for more. ...

Bakit maraming mga pinagpala, Ng mga ugaling walang hiya? Nasa kasulok-sulukan, kaibuturan, kalagitnaan! Sa maruming tahanan, pati na rin sa lansangan Humihimlay ang natatagong hukluban. Mga tanong na nagsisimula sa kailan, Paaabutin pa ba, hanggang magkauban? Biyaya ng karamihan, pagkasasaan mong tunay, Para mapagtakpan ang katawan mong may latay. Bulok! Bulok! Pagkataong nabugok, Lilinlangin ang mga matang inosente't walang dagok. Bata-bata, bakit ka ginawa? Pagtanda mo'y pitik ng sigwa, Mabubuhay ka na lang ba sa awa? Basagin ang pinggan,  Kumuha ng lyanera, Hintaying mapaso, ang bibig mong uhaw sa gyera. Sila ang makabagong bampira, Sa lamig ng gabi'y umaariba, Lasapin ang kagat, buhay ay bigyan ng lamat. Siyang nasa itaas ay nararapat, Dapat at sapat, Basbasan ng pasasalamat.

Ang buhay, parang biyahe. Maraming "minsan", maraming " madalas". Minsan mahaba, minsan maikli. Minsan matuwid, madalas lubak-lubak. And the list goes on. Sa mahabang panahon na pag-gamit ng transportasyon, malamang sa alamang, maraming turo at kaalaman ang papasok sa isip natin. Maraming pasikot-sikot, liko, underground at overpass. Sa isang bansa na tinaguriang "Worst Traffic Country", kabi-kabila ang mga kamot sa ulo, bulsa at utak. Pero, hindi lamang sa traffic tayo makakapag-baon ng aral. Minsan sa simpleng pag-abot ng bayad ng aleng  nasa kabilang dulo ng jeep, sa mga student discount, pag-para at maraming pang iba ay may mga bagay na maaaring pagnilay-nilayan. Dahil dito, inilista ko ang iilan sa mga natunghayan, narealize, naranasan at napag-isipan ko sa matagal na panahong paggamit ng pampublikong transportasyon. 1. Kasinghirap ng exam sa calculus ang pagsakay ng masasakyan tuwing lunes ng umaga. 2. Kasinghirap ng pagsakay sa umaga ng l...

There is a war between the bees. Fighting for flowers of red and blue. Unaware of the wandering grasshoppers, they battled for glory. The ants flew away, unexpectedly grew some wings. Flies shouting their chants, for the undeclared victory. The roaches crawl beneath the ground, planning for revolution. There is a sorrowful mumble, heard from the south, The aphids cry, the dragonflies gazed their prying eyes. Everything stopped. The lawn mower revved. 

Noong una’y ‘di niya mawari kung bakit hindi siya pinasasabak ng kanyang ate sa aksyon. Lagi na lamang sa tuwing sumusubok siyang pumailanlang, sumilip at makisali, titigil sila at itataboy siyang tila hayop. Bilin sa kanya’y huwag pumasok sa itim na silid. Hindi maaari. Ngunit tatlong taon ang binilang at matutupad na rin. “Dapat ako na lang.” Sumunod sa nakakatanda. ‘Yan ang naaalala niyang aral. Isang gabi lang naman ng aliw ang hinangad ni Ida. Hanap niya ay karanasan. Isang bagay na hindi niya makuha-kuha. “Salamat, Ate.” Maganda si Ida. Maibabalandra na niya sa harap ng nagkikislapan at mausok na entablado ang kanyang produkto. Mukhang pinaputi ng pulbos, mga matang pinintahan ng itim upang mapadali ang pang-aakit, mapupusyaw na labi – pinatingkad ng lipstik na eybon, naarbor niya sa kanyang ateng si Lupe. Tuwing gabi’y para silang mga dyosang naliligo sa kolorete at sa dilim ng gabi ikinubli ang mga pekas ng hita’t mukha. Kapital nila’y mga muk...

It was obviously a ridiculous thing that putting a scotch tape on me is the beginning of the end. It was two long years of service. You’re the boss, I’m the servant. It was slightly favourable. I like the thought of it - giving you the pleasure you desire as the main purpose of why I existed here. Every beating of your hands against your knee satisfies me. It tells me how you enjoy it. You pushed and pulled me several times through that electric realm, making me scream audible pleasure. I can feel your tremendous yearning to bring me anywhere you want to. I can’t help but to obey you. I promised myself to accept the fact that I’m your slave - a replaceable servant that has an obscure significant role in every tick of the travel clock. Remember how we used to sing our hearts out and being nonchalant to the surrounding distressed faces inside the train? It left me a lasting sensation of euphoria. When I was (literally) hanging around with you, I can feel your heart po...

Been loving indie music. No need to elaborate much. So yeah, Enjoy this list!! ************************* 1.
