Here are some of my favorites:

We Give in Sometimes (Japanese-inspired video, love the graphics!)

Learn the tricks of fire
And wash yourself with it
Taya (Notice the play of lights)

Kagabi
Di matapos-tapos ang
Nobelang nabuo sa mumunting isipan 'ko

Pag-Agos (Not your usual traffic scene)

Kailan ang huling unos?
Sana (Video-Game inspired)

Wala na bang makakapantay at di na ba dapat pang maghintay
Ako lang ba ang nagkasala?
Kumakapit sa natitirang sana.

"Let's bring it back."

New video I've been grooving my ass off. Lolz.
I like Jay Sean.

Here's another video from the young British R&B artist.

It took me four years (or maybe five) to get back to Saguijo --- a bar wherein both band and crowd enjoys the intimacy of the place.

The return was quite nostalgic. And therapeutic to the senses.

Radioactive Sago Project Live at Saguijo
I was sitting in the corner, enjoying great sounds.
Opening acts include a variety of bands, young and old, attuned to please the audience.
"Framing" the vocalist.
The guitarist and the trumpist compliment each other perfectly.
Wall art. Vocalist of Up Dharma Down effortlessly sings and tinkers the keyboard. Band drummer. The crowd participates as the band plays.
Guijo St., Makati
Handpainted wall art.
This makes a nice postcard.

It was bizaare to see Saguijo housing a new crowd. There was no familiar face to greet or say hi to. But I'm glad to witness how the place still offers music seemingly exclusive for the audience to participate to.

That and the fact that it still maintains a subconscious promise: to bring satisfaction to people who finds solace in music.

Saguijo is located at 7612 Guijo St., San Antonio Village, Makati.
You can check daily gigs at their official website.

Tomorrow's agenda to include: check Alicia Keys' new album:

This beautiful city seems empty,
All the people in the world and you can still feel lonely,
What's the point of having it all
without the person you love?

Sometimes you just need to start again
in order to fly.

- excerpt from the video, Doesn't Mean Anything -
There are those among us who are
blessed with the power to save what is loved by another.
But powerless to use this blessing
for love themselves.

- excerpt from the video, Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart -

Keys' hiatus from the music industry did good to the evolution of her music.
I'm loving it. :-)

News has it that the world slows down,
and stars burn out...
Sometimes, it helps to get away from reality.

OMG
OMG

Nearly three years since I liked you guys....

I <3 the fact that this particular song has been used, hundreds of times, to movies & TV series.

1983 © Every Breath You Take was also covered by various artists. However, I think that Sting did it best. Nothing like the original.

And did I mention the next video, too?! Covered, again, by sooo many artists; still, nothing compares.

1981 © Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.

He'll dream of me.

Kirsten Dunst sang "Dream of Me" in a movie I haven't even heard of. The film was Get Over It, thanks to youtube.com, I found out that Dunst can sing. Not that good, but good enough to invite me to bed and dream of pleasant things.

Here's the studio version, which is much better.
Off to sleep. I need to wake up in a few hours.

The Old
 The New.

Either way, I just love it.
Man, I'm such an old fart.

I'm Glad There Is You lyrics

Said I many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile and blasé sigh,
A cynical so and so was I.

I feel so sure, so positive,
So utterly unchangeably certain
Though I never was aware of love and you
'til suddenly I realised there was love in you and oh...

[Chorus:]
In this world of ordinary people...
Extraordinary people,
I'm glad there is you.

In this world of overrated pleasures
And underrated treasures,
I'm glad there is you.

I live to love,
I love to live with you beside me
This role, so new
I'll muddle through with you
If you'll guide me through.

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love,
I'm glad there is you.

More than ever, I'm glad there is you.

Said I many times, love is illusion...
