Hands Up

Give a little love and get some back
Smile at a stranger on the train going home
Sing a love song in your head out loud
Over and over until you can hear it

Give a little love and get some back
Spare some change you know can today
Write a story on the walls you are kept in
It’ll be over soon, it’ll get better too

Give a little love and get some back
and just let go of the weight of your past
You are brand new, a shooting star, hope like a comet
It’s coming, it’s coming home to you

So give a little love and get some back
Fight the fear of what you don’t understand right now
And I’ll be honest I’ve been broken in pieces but
never beyond repair, never beyond repair

Give a little love and get some back

Golden

A cover I did of the amazing Whitney Houston, her song "Where Do Broken Hearts Go."

This is also the track that I was fortunate enough to sing in a beautiful, beautiful film called "That Thing Called Tadhana". What a blessing from the Director Antoinette Jadaone and the Producer Bianca Balbuena. It was my very first time seeing the world of film and it was a joy to see such passionate people doing what they love.

Where Do Broken Hearts Go (Whitney Houston cover for That Thing Called Tadhana)

Bigger Things (teaser)

I’ve been wasting time
Chasin’ all that worth I’ll never find
if I keep looking for the right words
I’ll never get it on the right turn
And I’ll still keep on changing lights

Maybe we go on the love that we learn from the TV screen— until we find our own

Don’t keep wasting light
Tracing all those holes that never rhyme
Just keep looking for the right words
And then you’ll get it on the right turn
You’ll see hope in faded white

Hope In Faded White (teaser)

It doesn’t matter what comes
just as long as you know it ain’t everything
I don’t believe in mistakes that last a life’s song
It doesn’t matter what breaks
Life will replace what you lose in a storm
With something better
Something stronger than the weather

And all I want for you is that you know
that in the hardest of hearts-
a flower can grow

It doesn’t matter who leaves
it’s all the people that stay and fight by your side that count
but forgive all the ones that left you at war
It doesn’t matter how many times you might fall
it’s all the times you get up that we all should list down
Coz that’s all that counts

And all I want for you is that you know
that in the darkest of parts-
a garden can grow

I don’t wanna be the one who fights for a side
that lives to be right
I wanna hope for life and a chance to be kind
I wanna fly in a sky where the stars are there for all that dream of light
I wanna dance all day and get lost every night, every night

[LYRICS]

You said "be honest"
And so I was with how this started
And just because
I said "I promise" that this won't change
You want an answer?
Feel the same.

Coz no one really knows what we felt that night
Don't it even show when we both touch eyes?
I don’t even think we ever got to that part 
Hand on my heart
I swear to drop guard, but

“I don’t wanna lose a friend” — 
this is how it ends
Waiting on the moment
or for our line to bend
I don’t wanna let it go
There’s just so much to know
You got to ask your question—
and then you got to go

You said "be honest"
With how I feel and how it started
and if it’s real
I said “I promise” — you asked me why
I gave my answer
You drank your wine

No one really knows what we felt that night
Don't it even show when we both touch eyes?
I don’t even think we ever got to that part 
Hand on my heart
I swear to drop guard, but

“I don’t wanna lose a friend” — 
this is how it ends
Waiting on the moment
or for our line to bend
I don’t wanna let it go
There’s just so much to know
You got to ask your question—
and then you got to go

So why or why not?
But then you gotta go

Just make it all right, lie on the sheets of desire
I designed with your lips on my mind
And take it outright, all of my poetry— 
I’m willing to sing it again
But I don’t wanna lose a friend

“I don’t wanna lose a friend” — 
this is how it ends
Waiting on the moment
or for our line to bend
I don’t wanna let it go
There’s just so much to know
You got to ask your question—
and then you got to go

So why or why not?
But then you gotta go
"I don't wanna lose a friend..."

After Everything

Bigat ng pagod, dala sa pag-iikot
Laro nitong mundong mabilis makalimot
At 'wag nating pansinin ang gutom, kulang sa tulog
Napapanis, naluluto sa init at kaba, baka wala ka na nga

Malayo palang alam ko na nandito ka
Ika'y nararamdaman, hindi lang kita makita
Puno ng pawis ang mga mata, nakihalo na sa luha
Nagpipigil, nanggigigil, konti nalang- konti lang

Ayoko na

Bubutasin ko ang mga ulap para magbigay daan sa liwanag para malaman mo na
Hinahanap pa rin kita

Hindi na bale ang maubusan ako ng mapupuntahan
Sinong may sabi na hindi ko pwedeng babalik-balikan
At 'wag nalang natin pansinin ang tawag ng kama, pahinga
Mamaya nalang, mamaya ka na

Kahit ano pa ang mangyari kahit saan pa mapunta
kahit maubusan ng pag-aari o kahit masunog ang bulsa
hindi parin ako susuko hinding-hindi ako bibigay
kahit iwanan ko pa ang buong mundo hindi ako susuko
