Fuckin’ Perfect

Pitch slapped!

I watched this last week and until now, I am still hung up on the soundtrack. 😀

I watched this together with my daughter and now whenever she asks “Mommy, ‘ine (sine = movie)!” I make her watch the song numbers here. 😀 Better than letting her watch cartoons, and to instill a love of music in her too. 😉

On a related note, I am considering enrolling Francine in ballet lessons later (she’s just a year old at the moment) if she continues to show interest in dancing. I taught her to “ballet”, that is spin around on tiptoes with her hands up and she got it right on the first try. She even does splits, albeit still imperfectly at this point (even a flexible toddler has limits after all). And I swear she spontaneously breaks into fits of dancing whenever she hears dance-y music she likes or when her favorite commercials are on (think: to the left, to the right, umikot ng sabay-sabay!). I am one proud Mommy! 😀

Love the Way You Lie

A reminder of what used to be and what could be

Cats in the cradle by Ugly Kid Joe is one of my all-time favorite songs. I don’t know how many people know the song, it doesn’t seem to be very popular. But the lyrics and the story are worth checking out, as narrated in its video. Which I only just watched now, come to think of it. And the band vocalist is cute, I gotta mention too. 😉 Here’s the video:

Someone

as sung by the Rembrandts

We’ve been together now for such a long time
Through every trial we’d ever care to go
When I look back I almost can’t believe it
We’re not the same people that we used to know

With all the years behind me spent pretending
I didn’t need someone like you around
It makes it even harder to imagine
The life I’d be livin’, if I hadn’t found

SOMEONE TO HOLD ME, THE WAY THAT YOU DO
SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ME, THE WAY I NEED YOU
SOMEONE TO SHOW ME, A WAY THAT IS TRUE
SOMEONE TO LOVE ME……. THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU

When there was no one left for me to turn to
When all the world I knew was fallin’ down
Oh there were times I could not face the mornin’
But everything’s changed since the day that I found

(CHORUS)

Come on-Come on-Come on-Come on now!!

(CHORUS 2x)
