Song Background:
I opened my twitter account and first thing I was was tweets with this hash tag #DoYouRemember. Since everyone's on the craze of this hash tag, I tried to blend in. Share my tweets with the said tag. Remember some stuff with people who mentioned me. I finally decide to create a song about, well again, memories. Since I just remembered some things in the past, here goes the lines of my song:
Do You Remember
The times we shared together
The times I thought forever
Was for me and you
I do remember
the smile you brought with you
I do remember
these smiles remove my blue
I do remember
The words you said to me
I do remember
The promise we'll both see
Movies we didn't see
Do You Remember
The times we shared together
The times I thought forever
Was for me and you
They do remember
the closeness that they see
They do remember
The instance of you and me
That's lovely and happy
Do You Remember
The times we shared together
The times I thought forever
Was for me and you
You do remember
I told you, you're unique
You do remember
I promised that I'll guard you
You do remember
The sweet lines made for you
For you're everything to me
You have the magic I need
The love I do believe
Do You Remember
The times we shared together
The times I thought forever
Was for me and you
You made me
Feel very
Appreciated
Thanks to you!
As my end,
I want to tell
That I loved you!

Sayaw Nila'y Bitin, Sana'y Pahabain
Ngayon naman hayaan niyong ako ang maghatol kung tama ngang nanalo ito ng Pre-Colombian Bronze award sa 28th Bogota International Film Festival.
Simulan natin sa pamagat ng palabas. Kakaibang pamagat ang ginamit ng mga lumikha para sa masterpiece na ito. Agad na magtataka kung tungkol saan ang palabas na ito. Sayaw ng dalawang paa? Nakakapagtaka kaya maiintriga kang malaman ang istorya ng palabas na ito. Nais lang naman ipakita ng mga direktor kung maari nga bang dalawang kaliwang paa ang sumayaw ng maganda at nakaka-impress. Dalawang kaliwang paa kasi karaniwang ang lalaki ang siya unang hahakbang sa isang sayaw at ang gamit niya ay ang kanyang kaliwang paa.
Ngayon alam na natin kung bakit ganon ang pamagat, talakayin naman natin ang ang paksang gustong talakayin ng may-akda. Nais iparating ng movie na ito na hindi ito ang pangkaraniwang indie movie ng dalawang lalaking magkakaroon ng relasyon sa simula, gitna, o sa katapusan ng palabas. Hindi ito isang pang gay film kung saan may laman tayong mamalasin habang nanunood tayo sa isang movie house. Sakto lang ang “kabadingan” ng pelikulang ito kung tama man iyon sabihin.
Dumako naman tayo sa istorya mismo. Kakaiba din ang istoryang ito dahil akala ko’y isa itong student-teacher relationship kung saan may sayaw na nakakakilig si Karen at Marlon. Akala ko rin ay mayroon lang selosong Dennis na susulyap-sulyap habang sasayaw ang dalawang nabanggit ko at sisira pa sa “pag-iibigan” ng dalawa. Ngunit hindi pala ganon ang plot ng akdang ito. Hindi ko inaasahang magiging iba ang takbo ng storya. Akalain mong hindi pala matutuloy ang relasyong Marlon at Karen o isa ito sa mga kakaibang love triangle. Hindi nailahad ng akda kung ano nga ba ang relasyon ni Marlon at Dennis, kung deds na deds ba si Dennis kay Marlon. Kakaiba ang mga eksenang aking nasasaksihan dahil ang kadalasang eksena sa chick-flick movies na napapanood ko kung saan magkakatitigan ang magkaibang kasarian ay nakita ko kay Dennis at Marlon. Ang pagtatabi nila sa sahig na tila nakatingin sa ulap at nangagarap pagtapos ng kanilang ensayo ay nakakagambala para sa manood ko na alam ay nangyayari iyon sa opposite sex. Ang yakapan nilang tila may bumabalot na tamis ay kakaiba din dahil tila bang magkaiba sila ng oryentasyon pagdating sa kasarian. Ang tulo ng luha na nagsilbing panapos na imahe sa manunuod ay nagbigay din ng hindi pangkaraniwang reaksyon sa akin. Hindi pangkaraniwan ang mga eksena, mga hindi mo talaga aasahan.
Pangkalahatan, masasabi ko na nagustuhan ko ang likhang ito. Pamagat palang ay parang tuksong nang-aakit at talagang nanaisin mong magkasala para malaman lang ang tinatago nitong taglay. Ang mga tunog na ginamit ay napakasarap sa tenga. Akala ko’y hindi na ako maiinlab sa musikang Pinoy ngunit nainlab muli ako. Hindi ito pelikulang may formula na alam na agad ng manunuod ang susunod na mangyayari. Gusto ko ang pelikula dahil sa mga napakaraming tanong na iniwan niya sa manood. Ang dami kong iniisip habang pinapanood ko ang pelikula at lalong napaisip ako pagkatapos nito. Tinanong ko ang aking sarili, kaya nga bang ibaba ng isa lalaki ang pride niya hayaang ang kapwa lalaki ang magturo ng sayaw at kontrolin pa siya. Kadalan kasi ay ang lalaki ang controlling at passive lamang ang kababaihan pagdating sa galaw sa sayaw.
Iniwan man akong bitin ng panapos na imahe, natuwa ako dahil nakapag-isip ako sa pelikulang ito. Gumana ang utak ko habang pinapanood ko ito at hanggang ngayon ay tanong ko sa sarili ko kung bakit nga ba umiyak si Marlon sa ending. Iyak ba ito ng saya dahil tapos na ang ginagawa niya? O isa itong pagtanggap na mahal na gusto niya si Dennis? Panuoorin niyo nalang at hayaan ko kayong ang gumawa ng sarili niyong ending sa palabas na ito.

Checkmate
Two armies, fighting each other
Black and white, capturing each other
For one reason, glory and success
I am the King of the white army
I direct all moves of every piece
Though I can only move once
The other pieces will be the one handling
Will be the one creating opportunities
She is my Queen, the one I want to protect
From being captured by my enemy
For she is the one most important to me
The one I want to be with as we battle the world
I directed every piece, the pawns helped other pieces
Other pieces began to move, slowly but surely
We attack the other army, capturing every piece with style
And have a counter for every move of the opponent
Every of my piece was going to its right place
It's like this chess game is magic for no wrong moves was done
My Queen was very happy with the results
Every move of my army makes us believe we had it all
Each move makes me closer to us being forever
Battling every obstacle in our way
Making us sure of the future we have in our hands
But it was just for some time that every move of mine
Was magic and key to winning...
The other army's Queen begin to attack
She tried to disrupt the magic Me and my Queen have
I tried to counter it, I captured her and I thought I won
But that was just the start of the test me and my Queen will have
The black army has still weapons on their sleeves
I was tricked, and took a step forward
I thought this step forward will make us win
Will make me and my Queen say the sweet "Yes!"
I protected her too much
I began to be out of sync with what we really are
I began to want more and yet I know
We're happy with what we have
And it seemed I was baited, all my right moves
For all the right reasons began to vanish
With one wrong move, everything began to turn around
I was on top, experiencing glory with what we had
Now, on my low, regretting the extra step I've done
Slowly, the other army captured every piece I placed
Every box, I thought on the right box began to be a pain for me
And my army began to fall down
My weapons began to be not sufficient
And it was my fall, that one step forward
That led the other army capturing my Queen
I tried to still battle but I had no reason at all
For my Queen was gone and no weapons are left
As this capturing game started near the end
The black army being on the upper hand
And the black's queen being happy I've lost it all
I was the one left, all my pieces we're captured
Even my most precious White Army Queen
I was there alone, trying to escape the black's wrath
From cornering me and capturing me too
But they figured me out, I was out of sync
I was captured too, I was checkmated
I've lost the game, I've lost my Queen too
//Not a poem to describe my current romantic relationship. Also, it doesn't depict any of what has happened or what's been happening. Fairly, inspiration and imagination.

How I Wish
How I wish I was your pillow,
The one you give your hugs to
How I wish I was your blanket,
So that I'll protect you from the cold winds
How I wish I was the glass you're drinking,
The one that your lips will touch
How I wish I'm that man,
Giving you all the smiles that you need
//Inspired by "Kumot at Unan"

The Reason
You are the reason why I do have perfect mornings
A great start for my day, just a thought of you
You are the cause why I smile every now and then
Though full of problems, you are the one I hold on to
You are the one that keeps me sane and not bane
You changed me, you brought out the best in me
You are the reason why I fall to sleep at night
For i know, when I wake up you'll still be there
And you are the reason why I wake up every morning
For it is my purpose to give it back, to make you smile
You are the best choice by far that I won't regret
You are my happiness I've been wanting and looking
You are simply that lucky girl I want to give myself
And I know you'll be the reason of my existence
//Written in the month of May, a very productive month for me with regards to writing poems :)
//Making her simply the reason of everything, an attribution why you are at your best :)

Always
When you're down, I'll always be here
Will reach for your hand
Lift you up, won't let you go
Holding you forever
No matter what the costs
Will stand right next to you
Be with you every single step you take
Rain or shine, one call, I'll be there
Night or day, one message, I'll respond
Up or down, support will be there
Promise, I'm just here
You need me or not, I will
When all else fails, I promise,
I won't
//When things go down for your someone, just be there for him or her
Will reach for your hand
Lift you up, won't let you go
Holding you forever
No matter what the costs
Will stand right next to you
Be with you every single step you take
Rain or shine, one call, I'll be there
Night or day, one message, I'll respond
Up or down, support will be there
Promise, I'm just here
You need me or not, I will
When all else fails, I promise,
I won't
//When things go down for your someone, just be there for him or her

iWant
I don't want to be just a memory
One whom you'll only remember
I who makes you smile and laugh
The one who picks you up
Someone whom you constantly talk to
One whom you just share your life
I want to be the pages of your diary
Where all your stories are written
The one whom you confide to
I want to drive you home late at night
Making sure you're safe
No matter how far, I'll go the distance
I want to be yours, your one and only
The one who'll be your partner
Not just a memory
But a protagonist in your story
