Music and Lyrics: Mating Game by Bitter:Sweet

Whoa! It’s been so long! Thanks to Ms. C for posting on the blog while I took a month or so long hiatus. Though, I must say, I’m going through this weird phase again in my life that is not totally unfamiliar – quite the contrary, it’s super familiar that it’s really been troubling me. [...]

Music and Lyrics: Sky by Joshua Radin featuring Ingrid Michaelson

This is another one of those that I find fun to sing. I chose this this week because what happened in the song has happened to me 2 times in the past couple of weeks. Yup, bad dreams of Chef leaving me and on another one of me leaving him. Not in a so straight-forward [...]

Music and Lyrics: Dig – Incubus

A week ago, I intended to post this song for our Music and Lyrics, but I ended up writing a real post when I tried to come up with an introduction. I could think of a couple more songs that has a similar message as this song, but being a Brandon Boyd fangirl, I choose [...]

Music and Lyrics: In A Manner of Speaking by Nouvelle Vague

I heard this song from the movie A Mighty Heart, Mariane Pearl’s story of her journalist husband, Daniel Pearl, and how he was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan.

Music and Lyrics: Nothing Better by The Postal Service

Come on, who doesn’t love The Postal Service, right? The fact that their music was produced by sending tracks and edits through the USPS, hence the name of the band. I love this song. But this is a break-up song. I love this song because it’s fun to sing to. It’s so upbeat and one [...]

Music and Lyrics: Crush by Dave Matthews Band

A year ago from today, Chef and I tied the knot in Caleruega, a quaint chapel on top of the hill in Tagaytay, Philippines. This was 4 months after our civil wedding in San Francisco. Ms C helped me plan the wedding while she was in Manila part of the time and I was in [...]

Music and Lyrics: Grace by Kate Havnevik

We all know what Grey’s Anatomy scene popularized this song: Meredith and Derek in the exam room while Denny Duquette dies as Izzie is on her way to see him in that fuchsia ball gown. The scenes on GA were definitely suited for this song, turn my grief to grace. I’ve had this in my [...]

Music and Lyrics: I Will Follow You Into the Dark – Death Cab for Cutie

Much to my annoyance sometimes, Chef always watches what I eat. He says it’s because he wants me to live a long life. Chef and I have the Brangelina age gap, and I am praying with all I have and I am that we will grow old together. I take comfort in knowing that he [...]
