Adam Hits Me In The Heart Ten Times

If there's this one band which I would listen to forever and would promise myself to see them perform live before I die, that would be where Adam Levine is the lead vocalist and guitarist, no other than the Maroon 5. I've always been a fan of them since the year 2002 when they first released their album, Songs about Jane - his ex-girlfriend. The theme of their music is most probably about the L word. Love. From lost love to true love. This is basically the reason why I did fall for Adam and his songs, and oh, have I mentioned he composed mostly of the songs? 

Yes, he did. 

Before they might hit the Billboards again in the year 2013, 

I wanna share with you my TEN all-time favorite songs of the Maroon 5 from their very first album (Songs about Jane) up to the latest (Overexposed). The songs are arranged chronologically and not from my least to most favorite song or the other way around. 

1. This Love - Songs about Jane (January 2004)

This has become a Maroon 5 classic, never gets old. My friends and I love to sing this in karaokes all the time. 

"I was so high, I did not recognize

The fire burning in her eyes"

2. She Will Be Loved - Songs about Jane (July 2004)

This has been one of the songs on top of my list, closest to my heart. It gives hope to all the girls who had their smiles broken. I always find myself singing this song, especially in the shower.  

"It's not always rainbows and butterflies

It's compromise that moves us along"

3. Sunday Morning - Songs about Jane (December 2004) 

This song reminds me of how slow can I get on a Sunday morning. This is perfect for days when you just want to roll over on your bed and never really get up. 

"But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do

And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew"

4. Nothing Lasts Forever - It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007)

Don't you just love it when you find a song which speaks about the three words of advice you actually get from this life? I couldn't say no more, this song speaks for itself. 

"But nothing lasts forever but be honest, babe

It hurts but it may be the only way"

5. Goodnight Goodnight - It Won't Be Soon Before Long (November 2008)

If only every man is honest and humble enough to admit his mistake, everything will just work out fine. Sing this to me and I'll forget every reason why I got mad at you. 

"Some thing's gotta change

Things cannot stay the same"

6. Never Gonna Leave This Bed - Hands All Over (January 2011)

This song reminds me of "talking-about-any-random-stuff-while-cuddling-on-the-couch-and-never-get-tired-of-each-other" relationship. I like that shit, even if I had never done it actually with anyone(Lol). 

"Wake you up in the middle of the night to say

I will never walk away again"

7. Payphone - Overexposed (April 2012)

Definitely this song was a success all over the world. It was a mid-tempo song but then again, it talks about a romance which is over. 

If "Happy Ever After" did exist,

I would still be holding you like this

8. Daylight - Overexposed (November 2012) 

This one is for all the nights I made the most out of. Wanting not to sleep because I know my little fantasies may end too soon. This has made the best memories of 2012 ☺

"I never wanted to stop because I don't wanna start all over, 

I was afraid of the dark but now it's all that I want"

9. Sad - Overexposed (2012)

This.song.remarkably.hit.me. It may sound deep, but it's true. Listening to this can make me cry, but I won't.  I listen to this when I regret something, even though it doesn't help me. This song has the right words I can't even express to myself or anyone.

"I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard

The words that you needed so bad"

10. Beautiful Goodbye - Overexposed (2012)

This song dates me back to the moments I fell so in love ♥ Not to mention that it says something about the eyes - the windows of one's soul, the part I always look into. If you're in love with someone or just in love with love (it can happen), I suggest you listen to this. I tell you, you will never get tired of listening to this. 

"Holding back, won't turn back time
Believe me, I've tried"

I hope you will love my list. I'm pretty sure there's more for the Maroon 5. 

Adam, can you write for me? ☺

Focused

It's the first day of classes and of course, there is NO CLASS. 

Remember the "road" I have been referring to in The Teller since more likely three weeks ago? (if you have actually read it) Well, this is it. 

I'm officially a Pharmacy student at the University of San Agustin, Iloilo. 

I know it's a big question of why? how come? what happened? but I will not be answering those questions here, probably in a different post.

Let me show you the journey of our day as we had nothing to do, but wait earlier.

Photos were randomly taken... but each has a story to tell.  

It begins here

Making use of our white indestructible mobile phones

Vandals are sometimes inspirational

Just accenting ourselves

It feels great to be irregular 

Looking vintage

Because I was deceived by these crablets

Water is life

So Good! 

And we call it a day...

Credits to my dear friend, Eunice, for taking mostly of the shots. These weren't photo shopped or instagram-ed.
Lesson learned: You don't need an overpriced camera to capture beautiful moments.
Embrace art. Learn some skills.

Just Starships

After three long months, I guess I'm back.

Though I grew up as a frustrated dancer, my desire to dance in every beat I can feel my muscles losing control, didn't stop there. Though I still had the why-abouts of my mother not enrolling me in any dancing lessons before, my eagerness still led me to show off some moves!

Below is just one of my crazy dances caught on tape. Ever since Starships by Nicki Minaj hit the billboards, I have always found myself do some random choreos in front of the mirror every time this music plays. Fortunately, at one debut party, we had to give an intermission number and this song was chosen. It was choreographed by Carlson Baleriado, a friend of a friend, and his company. Because I fell in love with the moves and thought that this could be a tribute to the song, I decided to make a post and a video about it. 

I am like this song, too. I love to dance whenever I'm on the floor like it's my last chance. AND if you want more, then here I am. 
You see, there are certain things people aren't born with, but that doesn't stop you from learning how to do them, right? I'm not a self-proclaimed good dancer, well, who cares? All I know is I wanna have fun!

Bear with me, the quality sucks.

I don't know, I think I'm just more vain than I think I am.
