Saw this artist in the Hawaiian episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. He sang this song entitled "Maunaleo". I did not know what it actually meant, but the sound was just awesome.

Here it is:

And here's the English translation (apparently):

Maunaleo

Beloved indeed in Maunaleo.
Sparkling in the light, wind-blown rain.
A finely woven cloak for for the highlands.
A cherished one respected for power and strength
Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.

Capped by the silver of the rolling mists.
An adornment for that gentle heart
Embraced by the surrounding ridges
One to hold close, to hold near and to love.
One dear to the heart, precious and exalted.

This is my garland of affection
For Maunaleo in its beauty.
Glorified by the Malie breeze.
A cherished one, respected for power and strength,
Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.

For Maunaleo is the serenity of deep love.
Beloved are you, beloved indeed.
An adornment for that gentle heart.

(English lyrics from Keleanna Kaye of imeem.com)

Found other songs of his and they were all just fantastic.

A (Very) Short Walk With Nature

2008-04-18T09:18:00.010+08:00

Dropped by the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife yesterday before going to SM to pay some bills. Had my camera with me and took a few shots. 'Twas fun and a good exercise. Had i been doing it since January, I would have had a lot more use of my camera.:)

Some of my captures:

Played around with Photoshop on the foregoing (Auto Levels and Saturation adjustments). Didn't want to but I was not happy with the exposure.

Karol (171 mm, f/5.6, 1/100 sec., ISO 1600)

B1 (171 mm, f/5.6, 1/320 sec., ISO 1600)

That's a Gulf Air plane (250 mm, f/10, 1/80 sec., ISO 400)

Sana lang magkatalent na ko para ma-justify ko lahat ng purchase ko na 'to. Hay.

When I Look to the Sky
by Train

When it rains it pours and opens doors
that flood the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won’t seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn’t say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn’t have before
Every sunset that we’ll miss I’ll wrap them all up in a kiss
Pick you up in all of this when I sail away

While I float upon this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
And you make everything alright
When I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way

Whether I'm up or down or in or out or just plain overhead
Instead it feels like it's impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings to see me over everything that life may send me when I am hoping it won’t pass me by

When I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me

When I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
You make everything alright
And when I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

When I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
You make everything alright
And when I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here.

DISCLAIMER: This song does not mean anything to me. I just like it.

The One Thing Missing

2006-03-23T10:06:00.000+08:00

I have more than 6,000 songs in my music library.

Yet i don't have the Lea Salonga - Charlie Masso duet used as theme song for the Dial-a-Friend Program.

Life sucks!

"I STILL BELIEVE

Charlie:
Bakit ba 'pag kausap ka
I know that our love is forever

Lea:
Lalo na 'pag kasama ka
I know that we're made for each other

Both:
'Cause I still believe in love at first sight
I don't think it's right to leave me
Just for a lonely night
And since our love will stand the test of time

Lea:
Maybe you and me will play it right

Charlie:Nais ko na malaman mo
I'm willing to wait for a while

Lea:Wait and see, what our love can be
We're ready to face life together

Both:
'Cause I still believe in love at first sight
I don't think it's right to leave me
Just for a lonely night
And since our love will stand the test of time
Maybe you and me will play it right

Both:
'Cause I still believe in love at first sight

Charlie: Lea:
I don't think it's right to leave me Ohhh

Both:
Just for a lonely night
And since our love will stand the test of time

Charlie:Maybe you and me will play it right

Lea:Bakit ba 'pag kasama ka

Both:
'Pag kasama ka."
