Heaven On Earth Is You (with Mic Llave)

My second Visayan song! <3 Yes, the theme is about heartbreak. I don't know why 'coz I wrote this while I was very pregnant and very much in love! Must be the hormones gone haywire :D Nevertheless, it's my song and it's Visayan! I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do :)

PADAYON (KEEP ON)

VERSE 1
Kanus-a pa (Oh, when)
Mobalik ang pahiyom (Will the smile be back)
Kung ang dughan giduwaan (When this heart has been played with)
Gihutdan ug paglaom (And devoid of hope)
Kadugay ra (It's been so long since)
Mingsulay sa paghilom (I've tried to heal)
Pero muhungaw man gyud (But it cannot be suppressed)
Ning gibati nga kalisod (These hard feelings)


PRE-CHORUS 1
Nagkamang pagbalik sa pagtindog (Crawling towards standing up again)
Pero kung magkita ta usob (But if we see each other again)
Palihug unta (Oh, please)

CHORUS
Padayon lang (Just keep on)
Ayaw na kabalaka nako (Don't worry about me)
Padayon lang (Keep on)
Ang kaluoy mo, wa' nay mahimo (Your pity won't do anything)
Padayon lang (Just keep on)
Wa’ nay balikan pa sa kagahapon (There's nothing worth returning to in the past)
Padayon (Keep on)

VERSE 2
Kalimtan na (Just forget)
Ang minglabay nga kalipay (The past joys)
Dili na nato mahawiran (We can't anymore hold on)
Kining tanan sa kadugay (To all these in the long run)
Ayaw pugsa (Don't force it)
Lawom na ang samad (The wound is still deep)
Dili ikaw ang makauli (You can't be the one to cure it)
Kay ikaw ang mingbuhi (Because you were the one who let go)

PRE-CHORUS 2
Busa kung magkita ta usob ayaw (So in case we see each other again, please don't)
Ko pasanginli nga buta (Judge as blind)
Mas maayo pa (It will be better if)

Padayon

Walang Sinasabi (Original)

First time to write only the lyrics. My friend, Dianne Rivas, did the melody, and piano parts. Gino Aguas did the mastering and everything else :)

Fascinated (Original)

The very first song I wrote. This was later recorded by no less than Ms. Cooky Chua for an entry at the First Filscap Songwriting Competition. It got third place in the pop category. :)

Guitar and arrangement by Tim Cada

I Won't Feel Blue (Original)

Tried writing another gospel song in Tagalog. This is a more outright worship song which can be used in a regular service song lineup. I'd like to share this rough recording with you and the lyrics. (Sorry, this is really the best I can do with a recording. :p) Here goes:

DIYOS AMA

VERSE 1
Aawitan Ka at pasasalamatan
Luluwalhatiin kailanman
Susunod Sayo at sa kalooban Mo
Sa piling Mo ay ligtas ako

Wala Kang katulad
Di mag-iiba
Noon, ngayon, magpakailanpaman

CHORUS
Diyos Ama!
Dakila Ka!
Sa pag-ibig Mo, ako'y naging malaya
Walang hihigit
Di ipagpapalit
Kapangyarihan Mo'y walang kahambing
Diyos Ama

VERSE 2
Pamunuan Mo ako ayun sa kagustuhan Mo
Lahat sa akin ay Iyong-Iyo
Turuang manatili ang isipan at puso
Dahil Ikaw ang tanging totoo

Gagawin Kang tanyag sa buong mundo
Mamumuhay bilang patotoo

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Higit pa sa anong suliranin
Ang kapangyarihan Mong angkin
Ikaw ay dakila!
Kaya't Sayo lang magtitiwala
Susunod sa bawat Mong yapak
Ng walang pagdududa

CHORUS (2x)

Diyos Ama (Original)

Before you listen to this, let me make a disclaimer: This song is not based on actual persons or situations and it is not dedicated to anyone in particular. Hahaha! :) I just hope that's clear lest I get into trouble. But I've been wanting so bad to share this song with you because I find it funny . . . is it? Hehehe :> Hope you'd enjoy it! :)

Sabi Naman Sayo (Original)

Sharing with you one of my old compositions. I just took a stab at placing accompaniment to it using Garage Band for iPod Touch so please bear with the quality.

Still, hope you'd enjoy this one :) It's another samba-based song :)

My Heart Isn't Made for Two (Original)

Wrote this song for last year's Christmas but will get to perform it this year during our worship services! Yippee! Salamat sa music team ko na tinyagang kapain ang chords ng song na to at sa Victory QC for letting me perform this in 3 services :)

Kulay ng Pasko

VERSE 1
Taon-taon tayo ay nagdiriwang
Setyembre pa lang sinisimulan
Laganap ang mga kumikinang
Mga kaina'y kaliwa't kanan

PRE-CHORUS 1
Hanggang dito na lang ba?
Ito ba'y mag-iiba?

CHORUS
Kulay ng Pasko'y ibalik
Tunay na dahilan ng pananabik
Dahil sa atin ay ibinigay si Jesus
Na kaligtasan ang taglay

VERSE 2
Paskong Pinoy ay masaya
Mga pamilya'y sama-sama
At mas sasarap pa ang salo-salo
Kapag si Jesus ay isinapuso

PRE-CHORUS 2
Hahayaan ba nating
Tayo'y Kanyang baguhin?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Ngayon ang panahong ipagsigawan
Ang tungkol sa Sanggol na isinilang
Upang iligtas ang buong mundo
Siya ang tunay na kulay ng Pasko

CHORUS (2x)

Kulay ng Pasko (Original)

This is supposedly my Christmas gift to you guys.  I hope you get to enjoy it despite the quality of the recording and arrangement. This is the best I can do, for now :)

I'd like to dedicate this Christmas song to those who are celebrating Christmas away from their loved ones. But I hope this won't make you feel more sad. As you listen to this song, let's all pray for them and look forward to the time we'll have their company again.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

This Christmas Time

VERSE 1
Colorful bits of light
The chilly breeze through the night
Photographs hang by the walls
Hearts warmed by stories of old

I sit by the window
Near a star
Dreaming of where you are

CHORUS
This Christmas time
My wish divine
To be where you are
No matter how far
To hold every night
Your hand in mine
Safe and so warm in your arms
This Christmas time

VERSE 2
So many times I've tried
To keep happy moments in mind
But nothing compares when you're near me
With your hand to warm my cheek

Each night I have prayed for 
Every star
To bring you back home from afar

CHORUS (2X)

Still I sit by the window
Near a star
And dream to be where you are
This Christmas time


This Christmas Time (Original)

My first ever Visayan song made it to the top 11 of the first ever VISPOP Songwriting campaign! Thank you, VISPOP for the opportunity and the inspiration.  It's a blessing to be given a chance to be true to oneself. I hope to write more Visayan songs!

Pardon the quality of the recording. As always, I hope to improve it soon.

Kanunay (Original)

Happy to have added another Tagalog song in my covers repertoire! This is a song first released by Willie Revillame (sorry, I don't know who the writer of this song is . . . help?) but I saw Sitti do her own version of it some two years ago or so inspiring me to want to do my own cover.

Pardon the "sablays" and "semplangs." We just jammed this song for the first time :D

Ikaw na nga (Cover)

Happy third monthsary, Honey! :)

Hindi Bibitaw

Hindi Bibitaw
VERSE 1
Nagkulang man ang panahon
Pati ang pagkakataon
Na makasama ka sa tuwina
Aking sinisinta

PRE-CHORUS 1
Wag malulumbay
Ako'y handang maghintay
At nananabik
Na makita kang muli

CHORUS
Malayo man
Ika'y malapit din
At ang lungkot
Ay mapapawi rin
Hindi bibitaw
Hindi bibitaw
Laman ng puso ko'y ikaw

VERSE 2
Taon man ang binilang
Wala namang nasayang
Ang bukas ay haharapin
Na ikaw ang kapiling

PRE-CHORUS 2
Nakahanda ka ba
Na ako'y makasama
Sa tuwi-tuwina'y
Di ka na mag-iisa

CHORUS
Malayo man
Ika'y malapit din
At ang lungkot
Ay mapapawi rin
Hindi bibitaw
Hindi bibitaw
Malayo man
Ika'y malapit din
At ang lungkot
Ay mapapawi rin
Hindi bibitaw
Aking isisigaw
Laman ng puso ko'y ikaw


Hindi Bibitaw (Original)

I consider myself a servant of music, wanting to give whatever I can. I am also just new in the songwriting journey. I wrote my first song in 2008 but so far, the journey has been quite an adventure and I'm loving it! What I really want to do is live out what God made me to be. When I write and when I sing, I feel His delight. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of words and music, and the many friends and family that come with it :D Hugs to you all! <3
