A friend of my aunt requested for a cover and...here it is. Sudden Rush is a band from Hawaii and they do great songs! 

I got so much I want to say.
Still I don't know where to start.
Every time I see you,
every time I see your face you know you go and steal my heart
I could love you in so many ways
I wish that
I could make you mine.
Ooh girl what I'm trying to say.
Maybe we can spend some time.

(Chorus:)

So please stay with me tonight.
Would you hold me close until the Morning?
Please stay with me tonight.
I need my angels good loving.
I wanna share the night with you.
I can hold you close until the morning.
We can Make love till that light come shining through.
From the dusk until the dawning.

We can make this moment last forever and build a paradise for two.
A place where
I can be your one and only lover.
And the only one for me is you.
You can be my Angel help me fly away.
I can be you sunlight brighten up your day.
Can you feel
The magic every time we touch?
Please stay the night with me girl I need you so Much.

Angel (Cover) - Sudden Rush - Pauline Celerio




Took one message
Took one moment
And the dreary night 
turned into light
Looking forward to the day

Unexpected
Can't help myself
Starin' to space
you call my name
And my heart celebrates 

The morning came
you took my breath away
as you asked me for my time of day
And I told you I might go
But I guess you didn't know 
Chorus
He walks to me
And then he smiles
And lift his hand
for a high five
I'm exploding
I keep it all in
He talks to me
I see his eyes
I hope he feels
the same way as mine
He plays guitar
And this guy in yellow got my heart

Looking straight ahead
Can't look at you
Cause I'm feeling like my heart
would burst
with just a glimpse of you

You sit beside me
We try to small talk
But the time constrains 
what should've been so long
And you're needed somewhere else

The moment came
Can't take my eyes away
cause this is what I'm here today
And it's you I'm looking still 
But I guess you didn't feel

Chorus
He walks to me
And then he smiles
And lift his hand
for a high five
I'm exploding
I keep it all in
He talks to me
I see his eyes
I hope he feels
the same way as mine
He plays guitar
And this guy in yellow got my heart

Bridge:
As hours flew fast
I contemplate and then I stand
I walk away
And didn't see you anywhere
I replay it in my head
And thanked you for the day

And then I fear that
I might over-think things
And I'll find myself
still hanging on
those painful what-could-have-been's

But I won't forget...

Chorus
He walks to me
And then he smiles
And lift his hand
for a high five
I'm exploding
I keep it all in
He talks to me
I see his eyes
I hope he feels
the same way as mine
He plays guitar
And this guy in yellow got my heart

...got my heart

He got my heart. 

..But this guy in yellow didn't know it from the start. 

The Guy in Yellow - Pauline Celerio

Shoutout to Adam, my sister's friend likes you too. :)

Isn't it funny
when you told me you liked me
I didnt't do anything?
Maybe I was blinded
by a feeling I thought
I already knew.

Refrain
You looked at me like a star in the night (now I)
You made me feel so beautiful (I want to start something wonderful)
And when I thought I could give my heart
you go away...you go away

Chorus:
I reach my hand but would you pull away?
I want to tell you but I don't know what to say.
Ohhhh 
You make me fall in love with you
You make me want to tell the truth 
You make me fall in love with you
Just wanna know if you love me too

There's something about your eyes
And the way you look at me
It makes me feel something
And when I was right in front of you
But I badly want to look
behind, where you're there

Refrain:
Is it too late?
Am I too late? 
But you see
I don't want to expect anything
and end up hurting
But if you still
would look at me that way...
That way

Chorus 2:
I'll hold your hand and promise you I'll stay
I'll be with you no matter what they say
Ohhhh
You make me fall in love with you
You make me want to tell the truth 
You make me fall in love with you
Just wanna know if you love me too

For Adam - Pauline Celerio

For a professor who inspired his students to be courageous enough to try new things. :) 

They said, never to hold on
People come and go
They said when it's all over
You just have to let it flow

You said never fear to take the fall
you just have to bear through it all
'Cause when you feel afraid
It's the time to be brave
Never fear to get the door
And be the best that you can be
'Cause when you're out of your gates
That's where the magic awaits

Chorus:
This is for the lessons you've been sharing
This is for the stories you've been telling
This is for the times you've lifted up our spirits high
This is for the memories, but this is not goodbye
You'll forever live on
You'll forever live on

Time is always too fast
and it haunts you that it's almost gone
They said, nothing would last
But you feel that you're not done

You said, never stop to make a mark
Inspire other people's hearts
'Cause when all is too wrong
You see the radiance of hope
Never stop to build your doors
And be the best that you can be
'Cause when you drown in the sea
That's when you learn how to swim

(chorus)

You didn't want this to end
You didn't want to just leave
But maybe God has a plan
so much greater than this

Chorus 2
This is for your courage and your passion
This is for the times that you have held on
This is for the times you've made our faces bright with smiles
This is for the lessons, inspirations
This is for the stories, failed confessions (haha)
This is for the times you've lifted up our spirits high
This is for the memories, but this is not goodbye
You'll forever live on
You'll forever live on



Live On - Pauline Celerio

Our entry to a songwriting contest. This did not get chosen but yeah, we had fun recording this. (Obviously, we didn't have any professional recording device so it's a bit noisy)

The one on piano is Hydie. Check out her soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/hydie-layco

Long were the days of the morning
When I closed my hands and held you tight
Long were the split second moments
Only left is your shining light

Refrain
You have drawn me into your beautiful wings
And you still (do)
But I open my hands and I'm setting you free
For we are not meant to be (But don't forget that I love you)

Chorus:
Fly, my butterfly
I know your wings are not mine
I'll just sing you a happy song 
'cause I know I have to let you go
I know I have to let you go

Long were the dreams of your colors
But somehow I just need to try
To smile so when I remember
I can somehow just bid you goodbye 

Bridge:
Let you fly
Let you try
Let you find your place in the sky
Let you see
Let you feel
All we have is this memory 


Butterfly - Pauline Celerio & Hydie Layco

You can't say goodbye to something that has never begun. 
***

I don't know exactly when did I
ever thought of you this way
Believe me when I say
My heart just recognized you

I don't know exactly when did you
start invading my head,
Thinking of you instead,
Or was it just pretend? 

Refrain:
I tried to tell myself back then
yet it comes and goes again

Chorus:
I won't say goodbye
I won't even try
to end something which
never even began
I won't say goodbye
I'll just let the time
make me forget 

Time has gone but still I'm stuck
To this make-believe story
that you and I can possibly
Be the stars and the sky

But all of these, I realized
When reality just dawned
And I'm coming undone
All I wanna do is run away

(Refrain)
(Chorus)

What are you doing to me?
I told you it's between the lines
But then you're not even mine
I tried to shut these feelings when
There it goes again...again

(Chorus)

Coda:
Nothing ends without a start
But then you go just breaking my heart...

my heart...

I Won't Say Goodbye - Pauline Celerio

A song I co-wrote with Victoria Fargas (https://soundcloud.com/victoria-fargas), one boring night in my dorm room. 

*

Hey baby
How are you doing
I just wanted to let you know
That I might be giving up on you
Hey baby
Can you tell me a way to move on, move on from you?
Cause I'm having such a hard time thinking
I can't have you

Maybe you know
Maybe you don't
Maybe you just don't wanna see it (don't wanna see it)
Maybe it's true
Maybe it's you
Maybe I was just daydreaming (just daydreaming)

Chorus
Oooooh (Ooooh)
Should I stay 
Ooooh (Ooooh)
Should I just run away
Run Run Run away 
Away from you...
(2x)

Hey baby
Is there a possibility that you would fall for me?
'Cause I might be giving up on you
Hey baby
It's been two long years since I've been waiting
for you

Bridge:
Just one smile
It will make me stay
Just one word
I won't go away
Just one you 
is enough for me
'Cause baby
I'm right here 


Run Away - Pauline Celerio

It's been...two months since I last wrote a song. (Because of so many stuff needed to be done) Anyway, here's a song inspired by one of my closest friends' experience. 



Naaalala ang mga araw
At ang pag-amin nating dalawa
Hindi akalain na sa isang saglit mawawala ka

Refrain: 
Saan ba nagkamali?
Saan ba tumigil, ang pag-ibig na sinabi mong sa akin?
Huwag mo nang ilihim
Pwede namang sabihin, sabihin

Chorus: 
Sana naman, sinagot mo lang ako
Kung tuluyang naglaho 
ang pag-ibig mong akala ko'y totoo
At ang tangi kong hiling
na sana 'yong marinig
ang puso ko ng isang sandali

Mga pangarap
Na sana'y dapat
Tayong dal'wa ang haharap
Bakit nga ba,
ang tadhana'y
mayroong ibang nakalaan

(Refrain)
(Chorus)

Bridge: 
(Sandali) Kaya pa bang ipaglaban?
(Sandali) Kaya pa bang simulan muli? 
Naaalala, ang mga araw
At ang pag-amin nating dalawa
Pero kung sigurado ka na,
Kaya kong magparaya

Sandali - Pauline Celerio

A relatively old song I just wanted to share. This is a fictional story-song, and names of places are not real. Enjoy!

Once upon a time down the Morgan street
I'm the type of girl always falling on her feet
And the moment when you came I forgot to breathe

I'm back in my room, feeling like fifteen
Peeking at the house across our street 
Wondering when you'll come out, when we'll meet

I'll say

Chorus:
Face me, See me, Hold me, Love me
But the thought of me and you
It's too good to be true

Walking down the hall of East Brown High
You're like an angel fallen from the sky
Two years below you I'm watching on the sidelines

Took a leap of faith, wrote you a note
put it in your locker and never showed
And I think you read it but I'll never know

I want you to...

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Ten, years have passed
My love that was
a beacon of my dark days
I just wanted to forget
I, have come back town
And walking down
the Morgan street
I've grown up with
And memories keep flashing

Picked my groceries in Georgie Mart
Someone slid a note into my cart 
I opened it and then it took my heart

It says

"Face me, see me, hold me, love me
But the thought of me and you
It's too good to be true

Face me, see me, hold me, love me
For so long, I've waited for you
Finally, I found you."

I turned my head and saw you smile
Fifteen again, like that first time
Never thought this good exists in life. 


Too Good To Be True - Pauline Celerio

While waiting for Taylor's new music video...

Wildest Dreams (Cover) - Pauline Celerio

Perfect (Cover) - One Direction

This is a song about knowing what lies ahead, but still taking the risk because it's nothing new. 

Isa, dalawa, bumibilang ang aking puso
sa bawat yapak, nang pag-indak, nasasanay, natututo

Refrain: 
Ngunit aking natatanaw ang ating puno’t dulo
Dahil darating ang araw na iiwan mo rin ako

Chorus:
Sana’y wag na lang matapos ang oras na ito
Sana’y wag na lang bitawan ang aking mga braso
Sana’y wag na lang, wag ka nang lumayo...
Ang huling sayaw, ako’t ikaw, sana’y wag nang matapos


Dumaan, ang panahon, di alam kung ipagpapatuloy ba
ang sayaw ng buhay, walang kapantay, pagkat ikaw ang kasama

(Refrain)
(Chorus)

Bridge:
Hindi ako makatingin nang diretso sa iyong mga mata
Pakiramdam ko’y alam mo na
Hindi ko mapigilan ang puso kong tumibok para sayo
Ngunit tanaw ko ang ating puno’t dulo
Ano bang bago?
Ano bang bago?

(Chorus)

Huling Sayaw - Pauline Celerio

First post of 2016! I wrote this song two years ago for a friend who liked a guy named Jerome. So Jerome, wherever you are, this song made it to the Himig Handog P-pop 2015 top 115! (But since it didn't make it to the top 15, I decided to post it here haha) 

Naaalala mo ba 
nang ako'y 'yong tinawagan 
hindi mo alam na ako
Siguro'y 'yong binaon
na sa limot na minsa'y
ako ay iyong nakausap

Refrain: 
Hanggang ngayon nasa isip pa rin
Hanggang ngayon kailan mapapansin

Chorus: 
Pasilip-silip, nagmumuni-muni
Sa loob ng isip, sana'y ika'y makita
Sa t'wing salubong, ng ating landas
Hindi makatingin
Ngunit heto ako, ika'y minamahal pa rin


Hindi lilipas ang araw
na hindi hinahanap 
at mata'y gumagala palihim
Pagkat makita ka lamang 
tanging inaabangan
at ang aking tanging hiling

(Refrain)
(Chorus)

Ohh..
Naaalala mo ba 
nang ako'y 'yong tinawagan 
at hindi mo alam na ako

Chorus:
Hindi napapansin
Kaya't heto ako, umaasa sa hangin 

Jerome - Pauline Celerio

Kahit iba ang bagsak ng ating mga paa, sasabayan pa rin kita. 

Sabay (Cover) - Never the Strangers

The rainy July weather and a sad story inspired me to write this one afternoon. 
(You have to raise the volume, I didn't edit the track. I posted this straight from the phone recorder 'cause I was feeling lazy haha)

P.S. I know "so is you" is grammatically incorrect. ;) Why I wrote it that way...let's just leave it like that. :))

"July"

I was outside searching the skyline
For a trace, a little sunlight
To make me feel a little better
In the haze of the weather

Refrain:
But while I’m letting time pass by
So is you just passing by
In the midst of July

Chorus:
Come and set me free from all the memories
I am sorry, for feeling more than I should
so I’m here, waiting, waiting.
And July skies, will stay with me forever
like your bright smile will never really leave my
head so I’m trying, trying.

In all the years of indifference
I put a wall in the form of silence
To let myself heal completely
From the wounds you all brought to me

(refrain)

Bridge:
And July, July still reminds me of you
And July, July will also leave me too soon
And July will be another memory
July, July will never make me forget
And July, July will be there yet again
And July will be another story to tell

(chorus)


July - Pauline Celerio

Can't wait for Moana!!!! <3 Finally, a Disney princess who is of my heritage. Yay for diversity!

(pardon the guitar skills, haven't played for months)

How Far I'll Go (Cover) - Alessia Cara

(It's been so long since I wrote a song! After some overthinking last night, I decided to write this. That was the right thing to do.)


The Right Thing

It’s deafening
to hear my thoughts aloud in silence
The thundering
of both conflicted thoughts and emotions

(Refrain)
But I have to say this now
Before we crumble down
But I don’t know how
to end a beginning of something
wonderful?


Chorus
How would you say goodbye
to someone you could’ve loved
A chance of once a lifetime
disappeared into dust
‘Cause deep inside I know
this is the right thing
This the right thing
This is the right thing

So when I say goodbye
This is for both of us
But please don’t think I loved you
any less than that
‘Cause deep inside we know
this is the right thing
this is the right thing
this is the right thing

The road is long
ahead I see so many roadblocks
I’m saving us
from the pain of hoping to find something
that isn’t there

So

(Refrain)
(Chorus)

I’m sorry, I’m sorry I have to say this
I’m sorry I have to break both our hearts
this time
I’m sorry, but before you say that you love me
You have to find it within yourself so
you won’t have to find the pieces of it in me

The Right Thing - Pauline Celerio

12 in the midnight
You were calling me 
I was a bit surprised
You were talking a lot
I was just listening wanting to your voice
You were drunk, but you're making your way to me
And I fell a little deeper in love with you.

1 in the morning
White lights, tongue-tied, busy people around
You were right by my side
I was thinking maybe you should go home and rest
You said, "No, this is nothing" and just stayed there till the end
And I fell a little deeper in love you.

I do, with you.

Never thought this was possible,
To love with all I am and still fall everyday.
Darling, but you are everything I have dreamed, everything.

You put back what's lost in a "lifetime"
You brought back the light of the sunrise
And when you hold me in your arms so tight
It's like the stars aligning for that moment to happen,
and I'm falling a little deeper in love you.

I do, with you.

Falling A Little Deeper - Pauline Celerio

Co-written by: Pamela and Patricia Celerio
Produced by: Producer H

Wrote this track as OST of my sisters' film, "Project Delta".

Chorus:
Sandali lang, aking kapatid
Bago lumipas ang gabi 
Ako ay nakahandusay diyan sa tabi
Alaala ang lahat ng nangyari

Verse:
Di dahil sa kumakalam na sikmura
Di dahil sa kawalan ng pera ay pwede nang gawin ito
Ito na ba ang ganti ng tadhana 
Sa tulad namin na umaasa
sa liwanag ng madillim na mundo?

Ohh...

Chorus:
Sandali lang, aking kapatid
Bago lumipas ang gabi 
Ako ay nakahandusay diyan sa tabi
Alaala ang lahat ng nangyari

Verse 2:
Sino nang aking kakampi,
kung lahat sila'y may hawak na patalim?
Walang magagawa kundi pumikit
Ngunit habang pula ang dugong dumadaloy
Umiigting ang siklab ng damdamin
Sakit ng pagmulat ay di iindain

Gising Kapatid (Single)

Gising Kapatid - Pauline Celerio (Project Delta OST)

Just a boy in a green plain shirt
And I was just a lonesome girl
Peeking at him from time to time
When he looks I drift my eyes away
And I remember his pretty face
I secretly smile and hide behind

Your eyes glimmer like a thousand little lights
And when I look at you my heart feels like a butterfly
all around me
Unintentional rapidly spinning head
But he still look at me like a friend
And I can't understand why

Oh boy when would you say hello?
Oh When would you notice me?
When would you look back smiling at me?
Oh boy you have, you have to know
It's you that I love you so
Oh why, why can't you see?

Just a boy born on fifth of June
With an eyes shining like the moon
And hates dramas , of any kind
he has that whirlwind hair
He's a guy with lots of time to spare
And he doesn't know that I'm tryin'

Your eyes glimmer like a thousand little lights
And when I look at you my heart feels like a butterfly
all around me
Unintentional rapidly spinning head
But he still look at me like a friend
And I can't understand why

Oh boy when would you say hello?
Oh When would you notice me?
When would you look back smiling at me?
Oh boy you have, you have to know
It's you that I love you so
Oh why, why can't you see?

Oh it's the truth
That I need you 
baby
But when would you
feel it too?
It's crazy

Oh boy when would you say hello?
Oh When would you notice me?
When would you look back smiling at me?
I'm here, still so faraway
When you're just a walk away
Frustrating, Depressing, Complicated
Oh boy you have, you have to know
It's you that I love you so
Oh why, why can't you see?
 



Can't You See - Pauline Celerio

You know that complicating feeling?
When you can't say what you mean to say?
And now I'm staring to the ceiling
That split second moment on replay

Don't you know
That I was so shocked to the bone

I might say "you're a feeler"
But what I mean is we could be together
I might say "are you so sure?"
But what I mean is we should think forever
In this confusion
is a confession
Close your ears
listen with your heart
And this time
You have to read between the lines

You know that complicating feeling?
When you think of words you shouldve said
And now I'm off to dreamworld dreaming
And that moment still playing in my head

Don't you know
I secretly wondered
and I hoped
That you would see through me

There's still a flicker of hope
And I hope you would know
That in those crazy words I say
Would you give me this chance to explain?

I might say "this is nothing"
But what I mean is you're my everything
I might send off a different vibe
You should know you're the reason why I'm here


Between the Lines - Pauline Celerio

Everything looks dreary and it seems
That everything is only just a dream
And a day could change whatever I believed
And it never looked the same to me

I stand alone in the middle of scarlet red
Asking why this happened instead?
And the bluest of the snow froze my heart, in the dark
Will there be hope for me?

It's black and white
It's cold as night
What am I to see in this confusion in my head?
What am I to feel in this illusion that I led?
It's black and white

I used to stand so strong, stand so tall
And I used to see every golden streak of light
And I never thought that I would live to know of my fall
And I choose to forget every memory

This fire igniting
This heart is racing
And every little piece comes rushing back to me
And time is ticking
And I am ready
To open up and see the world in color once again

But when...

The war is raging on...


Black and White - Pauline Celerio, Joachim Sison, Aljero Jimenez

Logging in the facebook page
I saw your name on my chat box
Waiting for hours to see that green circle appear
Reading my news on my News feed
I saw your post on my screen
Debating If I would like it but I just scroll down

Refrain:
I know you won't notice
But this is what I do
Cause this is my connection
Just to feel close to you

Chorus:
When your online
It's like your by my side
Cause your faraway where I am today
Wanna talk to you don't know what to say
But at least you're just a click away

Visiting your profile page
I can't contain my feelings
Wanna know what's happening to your day
When the clock strikes eleven
It's where your there again
And the gloomy facebook world would light up to me

Refrain:
I know you won't notice
But this is what I do
Cause this is my connection
Just to feel close to you

Chorus:
When your online
It's like your by my side
Cause your faraway where I am today
Wanna talk to you don't know what to say
But at least your just a click away
 
Bridge:
Our only interaction 
is driven by a need for something
But I'm still hoping that 
this isn't the case on your side
I hope you also want to reach out to me
I hope you also want to tell me

When your online
It's like your by my side
Cause your faraway where I am today
Wanna talk to you don't know what to say
But at least you're there and that's okay

When your online
I'm typing words tonight
How are you, what to do, Hi, goodnight

Coda:
I erased it all 
till that circle disappear
Another ordinary day passed
Another ordinary last chance
I didn't tell what I feel

I know you won't notice
But this is what I do
Cause this is my connection
Just to feel close to you. 

Online - Pauline Celerio

Lyrics: Pauline Celerio and Celina Panaligan

*maybe it is*

Lyrics:

Well I'm not the kind of girl
Who'd just walk up to you
and tell you I love you
Well I'm not the kind of girl
who'd tell you everything
I feel
So I sing or talk this much
Because I can't tell you 
what's really happening
inside my head
inside my heart
cause I am so afraid 

What if you don't feel the same?
And then I realized

I've been playing it in my head
Momentarily I forget
That we're just nothing else but friends
Nothing more and nothing less
It's time for me to wake up now
Because this dream will end somehow
I don't wanna cry anymore
I've been down that road before

Did I just waste my time hoping for a reason that
you'd make a move and then I'd know
what you're feeling too
Did I 
just waste my time just dreaming all these things
expecting you'd be that prince charming
Smiling now, thought I never would so long ago
but man I really cared for you i guess it didn't show
cause after all the sleepless nights 
empty cries 
look at us so wrapped in lies

Well I guess this is goodbye, I'll move on with a smile
All these going in my head
But do you ever care?


Guess this is Goodbye - Pauline Celerio
