And I Choose You...

... to be by my side.

I recently heard this song through a link shared on my Facebook wall. Ever since that fated day, I don't really watch proposal or wedding videos of some sort. If you're my friend, you'll know why. But I got curious with this video shared by a friend on his facebook timeline.

The video is about a guy who go through different proposals for his girlfriend. And when you get to see what the guy is doing, you might want to wish that someone will do those things to you too (just like me!). What I like about the video is that the guy did those various ways to propose to his girl (just like other videos you see on YT). It was fun watching the guy doing everything that he can just to send the message across to the girl. But what I love most is that he included his and her girlfriend's family  in the proposal he made. Pure sweetness! 

This is the description of the video on YouTube:

On April 13th I proposed to my girlfriend Emily at the restaurant where we had our first date. I told her I was running late, had the restaurant opened just for her, and set up hidden cameras all around her. When she sat down at the table, there was a TV in front of her set to take her on a journey that would lead to the proposal of a lifetime. This is what happened...

The video:

I had fun watching! Did you? :D

And the song (in the last part) played in the video is what I've been listening to YouTube for days now. The lyrics touch my heart. Oh, how I wish... I'm just wishful thinking here (so much for a hopeless romantic).

Here goes the song:

It is a lyric video so there is no need for me to post the lyrics. :)

What do you think of the song? Please leave a comment if you like it!

Umagang Kay Ganda of Noisy Neighbors

I first heard of this song when I was in my first year of college. Thanks to my brother who listens to the song every morning during that time. Whenever I listen to it (until now), somehow it gives me the feeling of having 'a brand new day'. In spite of the not-so-good things that is happening to our lives, there is still hope for another good day to come.

Halika na pumikit limutin ang problema

Hihintayin ang umaga

Magpahinga, panaginip ang ikaliligaya

Darating din ang umaga

[Chorus]

Basta't tayo'y magkasama

Laging mayroong umagang kay ganda

Pagsikat ng araw

May dalang liwanag

Sa ating pangarap, ooh

Haharapin natin

Simple lang, kasama ka naman

Kung ayaw nila sa akin, ok lang

Kung di mo makuha sa tingin

Idaan mo sa taas, kung ayaw pa rin

Gumising na (gumising na)

Araw ng pag-asa'y narito na

Dumating din, haharapin natin

[repeat Chorus]

Haharapin natin

[repeat Chorus except last line]

And the lyric video that I have found in YouTube:

[Updated] See you, Krispy Kreme! #KrispyKremeCDO

Do you know what the picture above is all about? Have you tasted Krispy Kreme doughnuts? Yes, Kagayanons?

Well, probably you are of those who always asked loved ones, friends or relatives for pasalubong whenever they are in Manila or Cebu. I can say that I am one of those people. LOL!

This month, some of CDO Bloggers Inc. members got an opportunity to meet with their Marketing Manager, Mr. Mark Gamboa and Assistant Marketing Manager for VisMin, Ms. Nadia Shami in a blogger's conference at Bigby's Cafe and Restaurant. They went to pay a visit and announced that they will be having a new branch right here in our city. Yes, you heard it right. Here in the City of Golden Friendship - Cagayan de Oro. It will be the 44th store in the country and 5th drive-thru in Asia. The newest branch will be located at Rosario Arcade just beside McDonald's.

My List of Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs 2013

When I entered the world of blogging, I didn't expect that it will opened me to many things. Earning online, learning more about blogging and other stuffs, and most importantly - gaining friends. As a member of a blogging community here in Cagayan de Oro City, it helped me a lot even on personal things. I have been wanting to write way back in high school but somehow not one opportunity came or simply because I shy away on things that I thought I couldn't do. Clearly, I am not a writer. I just want to write.

Annually, there had been writing projects for bloggers that aims to express their thoughts, share knowledge to everyone, and many more reasons. I want to nominate a few blogs for Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2013 and here they are:

Business What Ifs
The blogger creatively made a blog for those people who like to have a business but have a short time span on reading the how-tos, strategies, and all about those technicalities for making a business which makes it right for me to read and create ideas for future business.

This blog talks about different people in with different personalities.

Gonna Give All My Secrets Away

Every weekend, this reality show on Philippine TV has been trending over the country. And every time I watch the show, it dawned on me. Someone is also trending inside of my heart. This may sound OA (over acting) as someone puts it. But, who cares right?

Music. I simply love music. It ran right through my veins. So, I thought of putting another song in my blog. Well, this song reminded me much of someone from the reality television singing competition. The one that is trending in my heart (chos!). Every time it is played (replay button is overly clicked), I always see him singing this song in my mind. I just wish someday that he'll gonna sing this one.

The Question: Are you gonna give all your secrets away?

(Image from Wikipedia)

The Song:

Secrets from OneRepublic. (This video is not mine. I just got it from YouTube and chose the one with lyrics so you can sing with it while the video plays.)

This song was sang by one of those aspiring artist, John Philip Duka, who joined the Voice of the Philippines. He is a DJ (disc jockey) from a local station in Davao City. During his free time, he is doing gigs for an alternative rock band in the city.

Bamboo, please sing this song for me someday! <3
