EJ Padero dot Com: Volume 1

“Ikaw Lamang”
Originally by Ogie Alcasid
Also performed by Gary Valenciano

Ikaw lamang
Ang tangi kong iniisip
Ang lagi kong panaginip
Tayong dalawa ay laging magmamahalan

Pangarap ko
Na kailan ma’y ‘di maglaho
Ang pag-ibig kong ito
Pagka’t hinding-hindi ko makakayang mawalay sa’yo

Ikaw lamang ang buhay ko
Sana nama’y pakinggan mo
Ang puso ko na mayroong sinasabi

Ikaw lamang
Ang tangi kong minamahal
Ang lagi kong dinarasal
Sana’y habangbuhay tayong magkasama
Ang puso ko’y
Ibibigay lamang sa’yo
Ito ang aking pangako
Mula ngayon hanggang magpakailan pa man
Ikaw lamang

A leisurely drive around the Metro last night ended up at the Global Fun Carnival, SM Mall of Asia Complex.

I hear it opened just a couple of days ago, on October 27. I guess that explains why the place was still pretty much in a sort of “soft opening” phase, not yet too busy and with only a handful of visitors here and there.

Mga Takas:

R.I.P. Jumong?

Tip: The carnival grounds is loose gravel all over. Wear appropriate footwear for that sort of terrain. It won’t be long before those wearing thin slippers (even fancy, thousand-peso Havaianas) get sore feet. High heels? Good luck.

“Memories Of You” by Ryan Adams

Memories of you
That I just don’t have right now
I’ll make them up
One cup of wanting you
Two cups of hoping somehow
These things come true
While I’m staring at pictures of you
While I’m staring at pictures of you

Yearning
Longing
Making up memories of you
Making up memories of you
For now.. your picture will do

Dialing you up in my sleep when the nights wearing thin
Won’t make it right
My reasons to want to
And 100 reasons to lie
When I don’t want to
While I’m staring at pictures of you
While I’m staring at pictures of you

Yearning
Longing
Making up memories of you
Making up memories of you
For now.. your picture will do

Memories of you
That I just don’t have right now
I’ll make them up
One cup of wanting you
Two cups of hoping somehow
These things come true
While I’m staring at pictures of you
While I’m staring at pictures of you

Yearning
Longing
Making up memories of you…

“When The Stars Go Blue” by Ryan Adams

Dancin’ where the stars go blue
Dancin’ where the evening fell
Dancin’ in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin’ out on 7th street
Dancin’ through the underground
Dancin’ little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you’re lonely
Where do you go when you’re blue
Where do you go when you’re lonely
I’ll follow you
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover’s tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you’re lonely
Where do you go when you’re blue
Where do you go when you’re lonely
I’ll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue
