As this album was made in the Philippines, I knew I wanted to have a Tagalog song on the album, but I just wasn’t familiar with anything that I felt really reflected the love between me and Hazel. After some time, my niece, Nicole, suggested this song. I loved it, the sound, the meaning. It was the perfect Tagalog song for the album, and my cousin, Aiza, had the perfect voice for it. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Lyrics (Tagalog / English)

Di, di ko inakalang / No I, I didn’t expect
Darating din sa akin / That it would come to me, too
Nung ako'y nanalangin kay Bathala / When I was praying to God
Naubusan ng bakit / I ran out of why’s

Bakit umalis nang walang sabi? / Why did he leave without a word?
Bakit 'di siya lumaban kahit konti? / Why didn’t he fight even a little bit?
Bakit 'di maitama ang tadhana? / Why can’t I correct destiny?

At nakita kita sa tagpuan ni Bathala / And Is saw you in the meeting place of God
May kinang sa mata na di maintindihan / There’s a spark in your eyes I couldn’t understand
Tumingin kung saan sinubukan kong lumisan / You turned to where I tried to leave
At tumigil ang mundo / And the world stopped
Nung ako'y ituro mo / When you pointed to me
Siya ang panalangin ko / She is my prayer

At hindi di mapaliwanag / And I can’t, I can’t explain
Ang nangyari sa akin / What happened to me
Saksi ang lahat ng tala / All the stars are witnesses
Sa iyong panalangin / To your prayer

Pano nasagot lahat ng bakit? / How did you answer all of my why’s?
Di makapaniwala sa nangyari / Can’t believe in what just happened
Pano mo naitama ang tadhana? / How did you correct destiny?

Nung nakita kita sa tagpuan ni Bathala / When I saw you in the meeting place of God
May kinang sa mata na di maintindihan / There’s a spark in your eyes I couldn’t understand
Tumingin kung saan sinubukan kong lumisan / You turned to where I tried to leave
At tumigil ang mundo / And the world stopped
Nung ako'y ituro mo / When you pointed to me
At hindi ka lumayo / And you didn’t leave me
Nung ako yung sumusuko / When I was the one giving up
At nagbago ang mundo / And my world changed
Nung ako'y pinaglaban mo / When you fought for me
At tumigil ang mundo / And the world stopped
Nung ako'y pinili mo / When you chose me
Siya ang panalangin ko / She is my prayer

My cousin Ryan’s wife, Dianne, has a beautiful voice and I had a feeling she would eventually make it on the album. As most of the album was already done, I asked her if she could be a part of it and she said yes without hesitation. The next day, she found this song that was a perfect fit for the album. With Hazel, though I wish I could have another day with her, my heart truly feels whole with all that we shared. She will always be with me as I hold her love close to my heart.

Lyrics

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

One day, I was singing karaoke with my family. Though I can’t really sing, sometimes I join in just for fun. And on this day, Hazel was unable to join us. But secretly someone was sending her videos of me singing. I had no idea. As I would message Hazel, she would make song requests of all of the songs she would like to hear me sing, and this song was the first one. I am so thankful to my cousin Yin and her son Dre who sang this song for the album.

Lyrics

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever, oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

Ever since the first day I met Hazel, we talked from the morning to the evening, every chance we could. And it felt so effortless to share our day with each other. We never got tired of talking or seeing each other. I always enjoyed hearing her voice as she would tell me how her day went. We talked about anything and everything, all the way until her last breath. One day, I heard this song and it really touched me as it reflected exactly how I felt after Hazel passed away. I still wanted to talk to her, to share my day with her, to hear her voice one more time.

Lyrics

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back, I want you back

My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I had, you're all I had

At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad

But they don't know what I know
'Cause when the sun goes down, someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back, oh

At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Do you ever hear me calling?
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

'Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

As I worked on the album, I knew I wanted to include a prayer song. And after some time, I found this amazing gospel sample that really spoke to me, and I instantly knew what it needed. I asked my cousin Lei’s husband, Bruce, to write a prayer for the album. Bruce, a very special brother to me, always gave thanks to God and asked God for His protection in all that we did. Bruce would always lead us in prayer, especially in our travels, asking God to guide us and to keep us safe. I am deeply thankful for the words Bruce and Lei put together for this song and I hope it blesses all who may hear it.

We ask Your grace to forgive those who have caused us pain.
And please, Lord, help us and lead us to live according to Your will.

Help us to share the abundance of blessings You have given upon us.
We thank You for our good health as we pray for those who are in pain.

Grant them everlasting happiness and may they rejoice in your Kingdom.
I pray for those who are grieving for their loss.
Grant that they may hold the memories, never be bitter, and give them the peace and love of acceptance and comfort.

Lord, thank You for my life.
Please protect me and lead my heart and mind to kindness.
Fill me with Your love and take away my fears and worries.
Lord, if I start to give up, please keep me going.

I lift to You the person who is listening to this prayer
To pray for Your divine strength upon them.
May they be granted the desires of their hearts and that they live with forgiveness, kindness and love.

As we end this prayer,
let us pause for a moment of silence
to reflect and pray for your personal intentions. 

These we ask and pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.

Prayer by Bruce

Pray For Me - Bruce

I made this beat several months ago, when my friend’s mom passed away from her fight against cancer. And I wasn’t sure if I would let Hazel listen to it. But knowing Hazel, she would want to hear it, as she always loved hearing my music. I decided to share it with her to show her, no matter what may happen, she will never be alone. Though simple, she still sincerely loved the beat and appreciated the sentiment. Of all of the other beats that didn’t make it on the album, I am thankful this one still did.

Lala is one of Hazel’s best friends and one of the first people to truly support the love between Hazel and myself. Lala was always there for us whenever we needed anything and she was a special reason why Hazel and I grew so much in love with one another. I was excited to find out Lala was a wonderful singer and I really wanted to have one of Hazel’s friends be a part of the album. I feel this song truly speaks from the hearts of all of her friends and loved ones, of how thankful we all are for having her in our lives.

Lyrics

When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed to get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart, there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

Well, you showed me how it feels
To feel the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart, there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart, there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

Each and every day, I would always look forward to the next time I could see Hazel and be with her. I would wake up early in the morning everyday just to spend any kind of moment with her. We traveled all over Pampanga, visiting as many places as we could, taking pictures along the way. As the sun would go down, I’d take Hazel home for the day and long until the next time I could be with her again. Her presence next to me always made my days so much brighter.

I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you
I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you

When I'm alone, sitting at home and there isn't a sound
My thoughts of you, and all that we do, keeps coming around
You got me wishing for another night with you
And I know wherever you are,  you're wanting me too

I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you
I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you

A dream for me, in all it could be, is to lay right here
In your embrace, caressing my face, I just need you near
You got me wishing for another night with you
And I know wherever you are,  you're wanting me too

I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you
I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you

Each moment with you, I already knew, I would feel this way
There isn't a touch, that's ever too much, I'll do what you say
You got me wishing for another night with you
And I know wherever you are,  you're wanting me too

I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you
I want you, need you, I want you, need you now
I want you, need you, I want you, need you

This song was written near the beginnings of the album, when some of the pain and sorrow from losing Hazel was still new. Until now, I still miss Hazel so much and I can only hold onto the memories of her. But those memories were beautiful ones that I will cherish for all of my life. I could look back on any moment and relive the pure joy and happiness we shared. I am so thankful to have been blessed to be by her side over this past year and I will never forget each and every moment we had together.

Lyrics

I don't know a way
For you to come back home
I just pray as I sleep
I'll never be alone
There's something in the flowers
I see surrounding you and me
The beauty in the memories of ours
You can see the reason

Lately I've been really missing you without you
You left me holding on
To all the pieces of your heart
Lately I've been really missing you without you
You left me holding on
How do I find my way back home

The innocence is fading
I don't want to lose you
No matter how I try
Could never get back to you
And I can't help myself
How do I explain
I feel it all
Every single day

Lately I've been really missing you without you
You left me holding on
To all the pieces of your heart
Lately I've been really missing you without you
You left me holding on
How do I find my way back home

Missing You - Coco

Hazel loved books. She loved to read. And one day while working on the album, this idea came to me to write a song as pages in a book. The song describes four important moments in the story of our love, the first moment we met, the moment she said yes to be my girlfriend, the moment she was diagnosed with cancer, and the moment I promised to never leave her. I’ve never met someone like Hazel, someone who could be so incredibly special to me in every way. I will always go back through our love story and remember all of the wonderful memories.

This is the page we first get to read
Each word on this page is a sight to be seen
To imagine a world all for just you and me
This is the way that we're meant to be

Here is the page where we get to see
Each word on this page written so magically
You said yes to a world filled with our fantasies
All of our hopes and all of our dreams

This is the page that I couldn't read
Each word on this page I couldn't believe
To imagine a world where there's no you and me
Is this the way that we're meant to be

You're the page in this book that I'll never leave
Each word on this page, I'll read and I'll read
To imagine a world where there's still you and me
To remember the way that we used to be

My cousin, Tek, was the one who first introduced me to Hazel over a year ago. Thanks to Tek, I met the love of my life in Hazel and I really wanted Tek to be a part of the album, to tell the love story of Hazel and I through a fun skit. Hazel and I loved strolling around the malls, even if we didn’t need to buy anything. We would hold hands just talking and laughing, enjoying each other’s company while window shopping. I always would tell Hazel how happy the SM holiday jingle made me feel. It is so cheerful, just like how I feel whenever I am around Hazel.

Hazel loved the Spanish language and was starting to learn it these past few years. I had dreams of taking her to Spain someday. I know she would have genuinely appreciated being there, cherishing the people, food and culture, and hearing people speaking Spanish everywhere we went. She would have also loved visiting all of the old churches. This song is a special song for Hazel, to imagine us in Spain, on a nice beach somewhere, in each other’s company as we watch the sunset over the sea.

All I ever wanted was to someday find you
Sol, amor e mar
Sitting on the sand, with a breeze blowing and the sky is blue
Sol, amor e mar
Now I, I have found the one for me
You've given me all of the love I need
And I'll lay here as you sleep
Until the morning

Deixa eu te mostrar
Onde o sol aquece a nossa chama
Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar
Nada mais importa
A brisa tece a nossa trama
Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar

Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar

Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e

Lovin' all the places we go
All the memories we make
It's like a sweet dream to me
To be with the one who forever was meant for me

I can feel the sun's warm kisses
Granting all our hopes and wishes
Take a walk all day with me and hold my hand until the sun goes down and meets the sea

Deixa eu te mostrar
Onde o sol aquece a nossa chama
Sol, amor e mar

Deixa eu te mostrar
Onde o sol aquece a nossa chama
Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar
Nada mais importa
A brisa tece a nossa trama
Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar

Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar

Sol, amor e mar
Só amor e mar

Sol Amor E Mar (cover) - Dea

Hazel was such a selfless person, always putting others before herself, always willing to do anything for those she loved. She wanted everyone to be happy, which made her happy. I am so thankful to have been blessed with her love. She truly accepted me for who I am and she gave her all to me until the very end. And I promise to continue to be there for her family and friends just as she was there for me.

Album Description

This album is a birthday dedication to my fiancé, Hazel. A year ago, she was diagnosed with cancer and fought with all her strength until she passed away last May. I was blessed to be by her side through it all, living and loving every day, making memory after memory together with her. Hazel had such a joyous soul and a sweet laugh that would brighten anyone’s day. She was an incredibly selfless person, always giving of herself to those around her, no matter who they were. Hazel always supported my music and loved it whenever I would work on a new song. With deep gratitude to family and friends who helped with the album, I am thankful to share this music with anyone who will hear it and hope you can experience the same love I felt with Hazel.

Lyrics

If you were falling, then I would catch you
If you need to rest, I'd lay beside you

Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
If your head is aching, I'll make it better

Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

I'll buy you candy, when you start craving something sweet
Some sour patches, for you to eat

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

The Way I Am (cover) - MissiesJ

Just two weeks after meeting Hazel, I knew I wanted to marry her. We talked every day and night, every chance we could, and we always enjoyed each other’s company. As time went on, our love for one another grew more and more, so selfless and pure. Several months later, I traveled to the Philippines to propose to Hazel, and she said yes! It was always her dream to walk down the aisle, in a beautiful white dress, to marry the love of her life. This song was the perfect way to share Hazel’s excitement for our big day.

Lyrics

All the sweat is pouring out of my hands 
From touching all of the sparks burnin'
In my soul, it overflows with
Exhilaration in my heart breathing
All the air my lungs allow from just
Taking in the sight of you

To walk down the aisle, would be my dream moment
Dress in white and teary-eyed, in awe of your presence
Never let go, hold on to this heaven
I've finally found what I've been looking for 

It's always been you, nobody but you
It's always been you, nobody but you

No one else compares to you, yes
The heavens could attest it's true, because
Everyday, I say a prayer to
Our God from high above, saying
A lifetime with you is enough, you know
I can't wait to share my last name

To walk down the aisle, would be my dream moment
Dress in white and teary-eyed, in awe of your presence
Never let go, hold on to this heaven
I've finally found what I've been looking for

It's always been you, nobody but you
It's always been you, nobody but you

You. nobody but you
It's always been you

Shaky hands are getting wet
I can feel the sparks everywhere (nobody but you)
Tension's getting real
As I am filled with (it's always been you)

No one else compares to you
Yes, the heavens could attest it's true (nobody but you)
Because everyday, I pray for no one else but you

This moment was from February 15, 2023, the day after Valentine’s Day. The day before, Hazel and I celebrated with a simple dinner where I cooked my famous baked salmon. The next morning, we wanted to have breakfast at Cafe Princess, one of Hazel’s favorite places. We were the only ones in the restaurant that early, and after having some delicious food, we just sat there, talking and laughing together for several hours. This was one of a few moments we captured on camera for our “viewers”, haha.

Mrs. Enriquez (a memory with Hazel)

This song was the start of what would truly make the album very, very special. Originally, the album was just going to be filled with beats Hazel and I worked on together. But the idea to collaborate with others started here when I asked Joman if he could play guitar on this simple beat I made. The beat was called Carefree, and I wanted Joman and his guitar to express that feeling. So I asked him to play a guitar solo throughout the entire song. No verses, no hooks, just one long guitar solo.

Carefree (guitar) - Joman

This song started from a desire to have a loving duet on the album. Joy and Joman are a beautiful, talented couple who I asked to sing the duet. Joy instantly thought of the perfect song, a song she once sang before in college. For Joman, no one thought he could sing so well, not even himself. But once we recorded the first demo, everyone knew their voices were a perfect match for the song.

Lyrics

We've come so far
To leave it all behind
I wonder why

Why did you go away
You left me all alone
No words can say
My love please stay

You and I
We can make it anywhere
You and I
We have moments left to share
You and I
We belong in each other's arms
There can be no other love
Now I know we can have it all
Forever

Each night I pray
That we can be together
Once again

Forever more we'll stay
In love this way
No matter what they say until the end

You and I
We have moments left to share
You and I
We can make it anywhere
You and I
We belong in each other's arms
There can be no other love
Now I know we can have it all
Forever

You and I
We have moments left to share
You and I
We can make it anywhere
You and I
We belong in each other's arms
There can be no other love

Now I know that we can have it all
Forever

Now I know we can have it all
Forever

Now I know that we can have it all
Forever

Hazel and her niece, Heather, share a special bond to one another. Many times, Hazel would tell me such sweet stories of her and Heather. And I knew from the very beginning, I wanted Heather to open the album with a birthday song to Hazel. Heather sang so wonderfully and even her little brother, Matthew, joined in at the end with a fun birthday cheer!

Happy Birthday - Heather

With my cousin Inah, this was the very first song we recorded for the album. At this time, I had no idea how the album would eventually turn out. It was still full of beats and this was the first song with actual lyrics. We recorded the first demo using a cheap mic, recorded through her phone, just to see what we could do, and there was so much promise. After getting a more professional mic and recording the full song, it really opened the door to what the album could truly be.

Lyrics

When I think of you and I
I can still feel you near me, feel the tears that you cried
I want to hold you, hold you in my arms again
Remembering the love we shared since the day we began

All I want to tell you
All I want to tell you, is baby
All I want to tell you
All I want to tell you, is baby

You’re the only one for me
You make my life complete
And I stand beside you, baby, you’re the one
The one I adore, the one that I was looking for

I know you are up there
Showing me the way
And you will guide me, whoa, please say you will
Each step of the way, never give up on me

All I want to tell you
All I want to tell you, is baby
All I want to tell you
All I want to tell you, is baby

You’re the only one for me
You make my life complete
And I stand beside you, baby, you’re the one
The one I adore, the one that I was looking for
