I'm not trying to be emo or what. Forgive the lack of creativity.

Anywayyyyyyyyyyy... Just want to say I thank YOU for taking time to listen to my covers/noise. Time is very important, especially to crazily busy people, and YOU spending/wasting a few minutes just to listen to this is something I am grateful for.

I don't get to reply immediately but please know I really really appreciate every play, every like, and every comment you make. Probably it was effortless for you to type in those words, and to hit play and like. But for me, it means a lottttttttttt. Really.

Btw, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine. If you're not, I'm sure you will be. Life is too short to be worrying on things that you know you can't do something about. No one to talk to? Send me a message...about how you are, what's keeping you busy, what's bothering you, what made you feel good today, or how it felt to get soaked in the rain... or about whatever. I promise to read them and reply. :)

Okay. I know I've said too much. Hope this does not bore you. SMILE. :)

P.S. I'll probably delete this cover soon when I have time to do decent recording. This was a yeah-all-right-I-think-this-will-do-for-now cover. Hehe.

Brokenhearted - Karmin Cover

Forevermore (raw as in raw cover)

Joining the bandwagon. Here’s my take of this hit. Altered some parts just because. Oh. Btw. It's just a snippet.

P.S. Sorry about the eggshaker. Major fail. BOW. 


Magkabilang Mundo – Jireh Lim  

  Magkalayong agwat
   Gagawin ang lahat
   Mahagkan ka lamang
   Daig ko ang nanalo sa lotto
         
   Ang awit na 'to 
   Ay alay ko sa 'yo
   Sana ay madama
   Magkabila man ang ating mundo

   Kahit nasa'n ka man
   Hindi ka papalitan
   Nag-iisa ka lang 
   Suungin man natin ang ilang bagyo
   Ang bituin ay aking dadamhin
   Pag naiisip ka 
   Sabay kayong nagniningning

            
Chorus
Dito ay umaga at diyan ay gabi
Ang oras natin ay magkasalungat
Ang aking hapunan ay iyong umagahan
Ngunit kahit na anong mangyari
Balang araw ay makakapiling ka

Magkabilang Mundo - Jireh Lim

quick recording. just 'cause I had a spare time. :)

Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (snippet)

The Scientist (Coldplay) Cover - Iona Olaso

Uploaded the quick audio I recorded for my mom for mothers' day. (Here's a video clip output http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdiUF7sjM5c just in case you wanna see. :)) Hope this sparks some inspiration to commemorate the superwomen in our lives.  

This is a song I dedicate to the person who gave me my firsts.. First cry. First smile. First crawl. First walk. First joy. First heartbreak (whenever you she goes out of my sight) - MY MOM. Most of all, she’s my first love. <3 

I love you. Thanks for your unconditional love. That means the world to me. Whether as a mom, as a friend, as a daughter, as a sister, you are the one I look up to. I wish I could be like you. Words won't suffice how admirable you are. 


First Believed Cover - Iona Olaso (snippet)

You Were There

Here is a song that my beloved lola had asked me to sing for my cousin's approaching wedding. I hope I make her proud. 

Ikaw Cover for Nanay Lucy

Feeling down, lonely? Cheer up. You know it. You. are. amazing. just the way you are. ;)


Just The Way You Are (cover Bruno Mars) - Iona Olaso

Who doesn't get cheesy during yuletide season? 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :) 

Last Christmas (WHAM! cover) - Iona Olaso

Bizarre Love Triangle Frente Cover - Iona Olaso

Not flawless I know. I was too lazy to re-record so...here it is. I just needed to get these 2 songs out of my system 'coz I have been lss-ing on them for weeks now. 

Hey soul price tag, ain't that mister mister.. :P 

Hey Soul Sister - Price Tag Mash-Up (Train & Jessie J Cover) - Iona Olaso

*NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.

I am tryin' not to tell you, but I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hidin' what I'm feelin'
But I'm tired of holdin' this inside my head... <3






Falling For You (Colbie Caillat) Cover - Iona Olaso

I don't think there's anyone who will disagree if I say that this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. 

I am not into dedicating stuff but today, I'm making an exception. I dedicate this to my students, to my friends, family, my sister, to those people who have become part of my life and inspired me in their own ways...and especially to my mom and dad who are the main reason for my existence. :D I am pretty sure, this goes for the both of you, that your joys are both unimaginable the first time you had a glimpse on the mini me. How about now? Haha!. :) 

To my mom and my sister: I know there have been times (or a lot of it) when I'm being hard to keep up with. I'm sorry. But know that I love you and I always will eternally. 

To my dad: Nothing is tantamount to the longingness I feel for you every minute of the day. I still cry just because I miss you. But I end up wiping my tears 'cause I know if you only have a way to be with me, I know you would take advantage of that. But you're in a happier place right now. Just chill there while watching over us. Worry not about me for I am strong now. :) Weren't you the one who taught me how to be one? :) Papa, here I am! Sharing now to others what I'm passionate about. I'm sorry that I kept repelling your encouragement. I hope it's not too late. I hope that this makes you proud. I love you. 

Lastly, I dedicate this to anyone who's been feeling down thinking no one cares for him/her. Come on. Cheer up. Someone out there wakes up in the morning feeling happy simply because you exist. ;) 

Isn't She Lovely (Stevie Wonder Cover) (I hope you find time to read the description box=)))

We find by losing. And we hold fast by letting go.

Trying this out. Sarah Kay is too awesomeeeee. 

If I Should Have A Daughter (Sarah Kay) (Poetry Reading)[experimental]

Woke up in the middle of the night and had this song in mind. Yeah! :) 

P.S. Reverb effect all over. Am I making any sense? No? Okay. So why do you still continue to read this? Oh really? Okay, go on. Seriously? How long can you go on with this? PFFFFFFFT. Do me a favor, just listen to the song.  K. Thanx. Bye. (lol)

P.S. (another) If the singer's name is Victoria, how do we address the song then? "VICTORIA'S Secrets" ??? Hahaha. Okay. Okay. Imma stop this now.

Secrets (One Republic Cover) - Iona Olaso

It isn't too hard to see --- we're in heaven.

Terrified (Katharine Mcphee & Zachary Levi Cover) - with @charleslatoja

I've been meaning to cover this <insert the most positive adjective there is> song. 

Prepare for a bit crappy audio. Recorded this at around 3 in the morning. Just wanted to let it out of my system. Pssssh. Forget about being perfectionist, this is the "best" I have for now. Hopefully I get to re-record this with a much better quality next time. 

How have you been doing guys? Hope you are all enjoying the remaining days of 2012. Wooohoo! I can already feel the Christmas air. :))))))) 

On My Own (Les Miserables) - Iona Olaso

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

This song represents how I want to start the new year.

LOUD - to drive away bad vibes. 
EXPERIMENTAL - to take risks. 

Although I am not a fan of new year's resolution, I still hope to be better this year IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE and change what needs to be changed.

Not one has any idea how Soundcloud improved my inner being. I have grown both as a person and an artist (I hope I am right). Thank you to the community I have gained here. Oh wow. I don't think I could thank enough the genius behind Soundcloud. It became a gateway for me to find new friends who I consider family as well. Even myself can't believe you can actually find true friends on cyberspace. Maybe it's destiny. :))) 

Thank you Soundcloud! Thank you virtual world!


Going back to the cover, IT IS JUST EXPERIMENTAL. Please don't judge me. Haha! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let's all look forward to a brighter and better year :D :D :D 

More covers, and friendship to come!
