What Should I Do

And so I made an English translation of that song from the Korean show, "You're Beautiful." Let me tell you, I don't speak Korean, and I just based these from all the literal English Translations I've read.

To tell you the truth, the lyrics, now translated into the way I wanted, is something relateable to me now. There's this connection to this song which is quite surprising because I don't know how. I just feel connected to the lyrics now that I've read it carefully. Maybe because of my situation right now. Perhaps.


What Should I Do?


i can't let you go
to send you away is hard to do
for every step
that you pave away my tears would fall for you

you're going away, ohh so far away
ohh girl just stay by my side
cause without you i cannot live no more, and i'll be alone

what should i do? what should i do?
now that you are going away
what should i do? what should i do?
now my life would turn to gray
girl i love you, yes i love you
even if i scream that you'd stay
you would never hear my call
cause these things i just cannot bravely say

i try to move on
but i would still remember you
with all those good byes
ohh yes i know it's hard to forget you 

you're going away, ohh so far away
ohh girl just stay by my side
cause without you i cannot live no more, and i'll be alone

what should i do? what should i do?
now that you are going away
what should i do? what should i do?
now my life would turn to gray
girl i love you, yes i love you
even if i scream that you'd stay
you would never hear my call
cause these things i just cannot bravely say

what should i do? what should i do?
you are the only one for me

what should i do? what should i do?
now that you are going away
what should i do? what should i do?
now my life would turn to gray
girl i love you, yes i love you
even if i scream that you'd stay
you would never hear my call
cause these things i just cannot bravely say

Classic Nostalgic Music

I should have blogged this last midnight night (okay, 12:35 AM to be exact) if it weren't for the internet connection. Anyways, I had a pretty good sound trip of all the old songs I had on my player. And while these songs were played, I had this sudden feeling. I do not know what this is called, or why did this happen. It just did.

Classic Nostalgic Music

Billy Joel sings to me as the night grows deeper,
together with Cat Stevens and Bonnie Tyler
A little of Johnny Cash and Don McLean,
some of Etta James and of Queen
With Simon and Garfunkel singing together
this night just keeps on getting better
Nostalgia would come meet me
And take me to another galaxy
Unexplainable feeling I have right now
Childhood memories would return somehow
That Magic Dragon of Peter, Paul and Mary
And the Beatles' Let it Be
would remind me of sometime, somewhere
when life was much easier and better
it's late i know, but I listening to Mariah Carey
would lead me listen more fervently
I often have this feeling yearning
when i'm at some place, there's thing something
i know i cannot really explain
now i'm stuck with Shania Twain
I'll miss this moment, before it's gone
till then I'll be listening to Dolly Parton
Let me pretend with the Platters
and dream with the Everly Brother
Let me listen to Glenn Frey's Lover's Moon,
and the Tears in Heaven of Eric Clapton
I'll not forget John Denver and the Cranberries
and other legendaries.
And as I sleep, I'll not forget
all those singers I haven't heard yet
and all the other singers I know of
I'll listen to them as I drowse off.

My Sophomore Life

This day settles everything. I'm officially a Third Year Student -- well not yet that official since I haven't enrolled yet, but I've officially finished all my Second Year subjects.

So, how was this school year for me?

Well, it was less exciting as compared when I was a Freshman. I had lots of things to do since I belonged to many organizations: The Paulinian, the official publication of the school, Coordinating Board of Students, the student council of the school, Campus Ministry Board of Students, where I was in the Music Ministry, among others. I had to sleep late to finish editing the layout of the school paper, finish the minutes of the meeting, and edit pictures. I had to attend meetings, face people, and act as the leader always. I had to pretend I know all the musical instruments because they had no one to count on to. I had to go on lots of contests and fortunately, I won on majority of them. And that is still under my curricular activities.


Then unto Academics. It was pretty harder than I thought since we already had our major field of specializations this school year. For me, it was Biology. I had fun dealing with the subject I loved but since memorizing was my waterloo, I had a hard time in doing so especially since there are many terms which needs memorization. I had to sleep late drawing the parts of the human body, researching about lichens and stuff, discovering if we could culture carrots or not. I also experienced one of the most embarrassing moments of my life where my shoe was stuck in mud where I tried picking water lilies. It was also my first time holding and dissecting a frog which caused my life so much because I always had fear of frogs. They're gross and creepy. I also dissected a feline together with my groupmates, which was less creepier than the frog. It was really hard for me especially my other classmate who was having regrets of taking such major. In one way, I wish that I just took Math instead of Biology, but since I've started it, let me finish this. And fortunate enough, I still reached the honors, finishing at third spot with an average of 92.38 (excluding the recently concluded Summer Classes).


We lost many from our batch this year alone. From the original 15, now, we're left at 10. Three left for another school, one left for an unknown reason, another one left for a very confidential reason. I'm not into speaking terms with one of my classmates this year -- on and off but now, it's off. The reason is on one of my posts, just guess what that is. But overall, this year was a blast for us. We still are a strong group amid those things.

What else did I miss? Ohh yes. Don't ask me about my lovelife. For the whole year, it was off. The last time my heart beat was when I was first year. This May, it started beating for someone again. And yeah, like any other, for sure this one is going nowhere again. I just can't let it be.

And that settles everything. Goodbye Sophomore Life. Here we go, Junior life. I wonder what awaits me out there.

Of IDs and T-Shirt Designs

Do you know the feeling of being so useless after giving your all to it? I do. And my, when I tell you, it hurts. I've worked hard for a favor someone asked me. At first I tried to say no to it but since that person forced me to, I said yes. I spent a lot of time conceptualizing on what to put, what the design is, and how will it look like. I tried to think of very catchy designs, the ones where you instantly get caught with. I've made many samples, all to find out, they were not going to use mine. They have already had another one to make a design without even notifying me. If I have known earlier, then I might have made other things. It was stupid. I know those people who were assigned are more legit than I am but, all my hard work became so useless. If it's a competition, I'll accept it, but it isn't. Why did they choose me in the first place if I was to be replaced without any notifications?

Hush. Just forget about it. Forgive and forget. I'll have plenty more experiences in the future. Right now, I'll have to review. It's our finals tomorrow.

A New Song + A New Project

I have actually one project named, "Squeezing Fearless Lemons." In this project, all my music are entirely made by FL Studio. I tried my luck in making techno music using that program. My first song under that project is entitled, "Angel by My Side." Now my second song is entitled Right Here. It is still bland and lacks a lot of producing because I'm still on the process of discovering this program. I'll recreate this later when I have time and I have discovered the ins and outs of the FL Studio.

Right Here

when i met you, i was starstruck
who are you? in you my eyes were stuck
my heart's beating, i can hear it loud
i want to know you now, ohhh

i went near you, you were smiling
it seemed that you were waiting
yeah i know it's love at first sight
girl i want you tonight, ohh

the beat will guide us now the crowd is going wild
with you by my side, i know we'll be alright
you will be mine tonight, ohh girl don't get frightened

let's dance till we will drop let us not stop
let's move and let us sway please don't go away
i won't let go-o-o let's do this slow-o-ow
let's dance till we will drop let us not stop

there's this feeling that i want you
that i'll never want to let you go
girl are you the right one for me?
let's just wait and see, ohh

the beat will guide us now the crowd is going wild
with you by my side, i know we'll be alright
you will be mine tonight, ohh girl don't get frightened

let's dance till we will drop let us not stop
let's move and let us sway please don't go away
i won't let go-o-o let's do this slow-o-ow
let's dance till we will drop let us not stop

the beat will guide us now the crowd is going wild
with you by my side, i know we'll be alright
you will be mine tonight, ohh girl don't get frightened
cause i'll be right here for you

Here is  the accompaniment of the song. Once again, sorry for the very bland and awful sound you're about to hear.

To the Lady with the Red Mascara

I'll write a short poem for you.


Try to calm down a little bit,
the world is such a small place for that.
don't let anger control your life
don't let conceit rule you.
Try to keep it down a little bit.
It's not always the everyone's fault
try looking at yourself in the mirror
and try helping her fix that problem.
We can't help you, it would be hard
you don't even talk to me that much anymore
I don't know what I did, but you're mad at me
you won't even talk to me.
Maybe you're just to hot tempered.
You easily get angry, I know, we know.
You'll lose friends if you continue that
Try to calm down a little bit.
Try to keep it down a little bit.
Wash away that mascara, and smile
that red on your eyes frightens everyone
frowning won't solve your problems.
But smiling will.

Sam Sung and I

It's May 13, 2012, exactly one year since my laptop,Sam Sung, and I first met. And it's been a wild ride. Sam Sung is the name of my laptop (basically because it's a Samsung laptop, okay, it's corny, whatever). I used it almost everyday with almost everything I do. I watch movies, I listen to music, I surf the internet, I make requirements, and do just about anything with it. It's one year of total life changing experience. I almost take it wherever I go. Though it's heavy, I'm so proud of having it. I would like to thank those who gave this to me. It means a lot to me. I love it and hope it'll be with me while it lasts.
