MAGASIN

Nakita kita sa isang magasin

Dilaw ang iyong suot at, buhok mo'y green

Sa isang tindahan; Sa may Baclaran

Napatingin, natulala sa iyong kagandahan

Naalala mo pa ba noong tayo pang dalawa

'Di ko inakalang sisikat ka

Tinawanan pa kita

Tinawag mo 'kong walang hiya

Medyo pangit ka pa noon

Ngunit ngayon... Hey

*CHORUS:

Iba na ang iyong ngiti

Iba na ang iyong tingin

Nagbago nang lahat sayo

Sana'y hindi nakita

Sana'y walang problema pagka't kulang ang dala kong perang

Pambili... oooh... pambili sa mukha mong maganda* -- MAGAZINE by EHeads/ Yeng Version

Nakita kita sa Isang Magasin a long long time ago. Oh well I just needed to know your name and I got it. I added you on facebook and to my surprise you accepted the friend request. We've been FB friends for quite some time exchanging "HI, Hello and How Are You" which eventually turned into meeting you after so many invites and pangungulit. Finally the first meeting after your gym and my movie premiere! Well I guess it's singing time now and it's best to use lyrics of songs to tell my story...

....And everything went from wrong to right

And the stars came out and filled up the sky

The music you were playing really blew my mind

It was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT -- by Kylie Minogue

I was very happy and thankful then that i finally met you. And so every time I have the chance, I would invite you for dinner so that i would see you and....

I call you and you call me

It's funny how we get on so easily

We're just friends aren't we

You've got yours, I've got mine

And friends are all we ever could be

(But) We're GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

A little too well   -- by Ariel Rivera

My Birthday came and I was so very Happy that night that you came to my party. Your Birthday came as well and I was grateful that I get to spend sometime with you on your special day too. Days, Weeks and Months passed with seeing each other over dinner and...

...Thinking about you all the time

I can't sleep no matter what I do

I just keep on thinking 'bout you -- by NINA

My days became happy days during those times and I know that yo are One Special Person whom I would be Thankful for all my life. But somehow still there's something wrong, even though we got along just fine with your friends and my friends, it seems that there are...

TOO MANY WALLS have been built in between us, 

Too many dreams have been shattered around us.

If I seem to give up they'll still never win,
Deep in my heart I know the strength is within -- by Cathy Dennis

I know you went through something hard too and maybe you are still hurting. i just thought that somehow I could ease things out. That i can make you forget. That maybe I can make you happy. Oh well i was wrong. No matter what I do or say, I would never be the person you needed.

I did my best 

But I guess my best wasn't good enough

'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes 

We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay or head on out the door ......JUST ONCE -- by James Ingram

When I got your Text, I seemed like I have been struck by something really hard. It felt really bad but there's nothing else i can do but accept what you said. It was hard before when i was letting go of people who did me wrong; but it's harder to let you go and move on now because You Never Did Me Wrong. You are the Best Person ever. 

Well, I said to myself this should be easy now after all the "Failed Tries on Having a Relationship" in the past. I hope we can still be friends. and just like what i said, You will always be special to me! But in order for me to be Happy, It's time to accept that we are from Different Worlds...

 
"Mula sa malayo galing ang pag-ibig ko
Kay tagal ko rin tinago lihim na iniingatan ko
Dahil sa takot, Dahil sa Kaba, Dahil baka ikaw ay mawala

Parang Kay lapit, ngunit magkalayo ang magkaiba nating mundo
Sana'y marinig pa rin ang sigaw ng Damdamin
Mga bagay na di kayang sabihin

Paano kaya kung ako'y maging bahagi ng iyong mundo
di na itatago lihim na iniingatan ko
Dahil sa takot, Dahil sa Kaba, Dahil baka ikaw ay mawala

Parang Kay lapit, ngunit magkalayo ang magkaiba nating mundo
Sana'y marinig pa rin ang sigaw ng Damdamin
Mga bagay na di kayang sabihin --- by MAGKAIBANG MUNDO by JURIS

STARTING OVER AGAIN

"And, when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more

We, we're just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feeling die

I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our hearts and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right

CHORUS
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
"Cause everytime I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again ---- Starting Over Again by Natalie Cole/ Sheryn Regis

With so many roads
that seem to lead
down to the sea
I wonder which road
will be the right
one for me

others may fall away,
dead ending left and right
but there is this one road
that journeys far out of sight
Have you wondered where
your road will lead you?

maybe to a bright day of sunshine
or a starry night in heaven
or it might be you're afraid to go
afraid to go, but you've got
to follow your road or you'll
never know never know

we are all but travellers
living in a foreign land
trying to find our way
the best as we can
looking for an answer trying
to find some way

though we have journeyed
far it's not quite far enough
have you wondered where
your road will lead you
maybe to a song that needs singing
or summer rain (don't be afraid to go)

or it might be afraid to go,
afraid to go
You got to follow your road
or you'll never know


(Chorus)
you got to follow your road,
follow your road,
follow your road
you got to follow your road,
follow your road,
follow your road
you got to follow your road,
follow your road,
follow your road
and maybe someday your road
will take you far away

you know when you will find it
and someday you will get there
don't give up ---Follow Your Road, Pauline Wilson

ALL ME

"(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

Boy, I know I'm fillin' no spaces
When you're movin', groovin', you're feelin' me
I'm invading your space and it's so
(Oh oh oh oh oh) All me, all me, all me

I'm all over your dreams and when you wake up
I'm still in your mind and it just won't stop
You're addicted to me and just can't get enough
(Oh oh oh oh oh) You'll see, you'll see it's me

(Oh oh oh oh oh) All me, all me, all me
(Oh oh oh oh oh) You'll see, you'll see it's me
(Oh oh oh oh oh) All me, all me, all me
(Oh oh oh oh oh) You'll see, you'll see, you'll see it's me

(Oh oh oh oh oh) [4x]" - ALL ME by Toni Gonzaga

(Oh oh oh oh oh) It's not All Me and You'll see in the pictures and videos that a lot of people love Toni Gonzaga. This was very evident in her recent Toni @ 10 Concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Friday - September 30, 2011. Truly a dream come true for Toni to have a Solo Concert at the Big Dome.

Tracking the days back, after i blogged about her 1st Major Concert at the Aliw Theater "We Belong", Toni texted me with "Salamat sa iyong nakaka-touch na Blog....." And at that point truly it felt good to have my blog read by the very person i have written about. I replied that i will definitely watch her concert and blog about it.

Coming from a meeting in Makati, i went straight to Cubao for the show. I'm not an organizer or, in any way, a part of the production this time so i just went in like every ticket holder does using the red gate with my Patron Ticket. Oh BTW, i did meet and chat with Mommy Pinty, Ms. Annabelle Regalado-Borja(who gave me the ticket)and Kuya Roland at North Park then saw Daddy Bonoy too on our way out of the restaurant before going inside the coliseum.

I was seated at the right side of the Patron section with the Star Records peeps. The Stage was simple yet very nice with all the multiple LED Screens and the multi-level platforms and moving stairs; very fit for a "Multi"-media Star. Then the show started with the Opening Number; a short intro with All Me segue to the Beyonce Medley of Diva & Who Run The World.

This is the 10th Year Anniversary of Toni and it all started with her scream in the softdrink commercial, "I LOVE YOU PIOLOOOOOOOOOOOOO" then her first guest for the night walked in, The Ultimate Hearthrob, Piolo Pascual. They sang the Mashed-up of Nothing On You and Just The Way You Are. There were VTR greetings for her from different Kapamilya Stars whom she had worked with for the past years.

Toni really revealed her true self as a funny and witty person with all her guests for the night which made the show more than a musical show. Sam Milby revealed that Toni was really his First Crush in Showbiz, who became his First Leading Lady too. Toni then revealed that Sam went to her in ASAP to say that he is going to be her surprise in her concert. Hahaha! Not a surprise anymore to Toni but to all those in Araneta 'coz Sam was never included in the Promotions of the show.

Another highlight of the show is with John Lloyd Cruz singing "Live" with their song from My Amnesia Girl, "Nandyan ka Na Naman". The crowd really screamed for the Box Office King which showed that they had a good chemistry in the movie that made it a hit.

Toni then described his next guest as his Male counterpart - Vhong Navarro who ranted about not having to kiss Toni in all of their movies together. Vhong has brought the house down with his antics and all, specially when he jokingly told the crowd how Mommy Pinty would guard Toni during their Shoots and Taping. All these segued to Pokwang entering the stage in disguise of Toni. Pokwang and Toni had their singing showdown with Toni imitating Jessa Zaragoza, Jaya and Lani Misalucha with their Trademark Songs while Pokey imitates Britney Spears, Cindy Lauper and Jovit Baldivino(with kiko matching voice too). Their bantering was so hilarious and adding to that was the spot number of Pokwang who got a guy from the audience. She then went to our side and got my friend ICE, who, pokey didn't know, was from Star Records. She had him hold the microphone and asked him to follow her wherever she goes. The stunts Pokwang did was really hilarious.

Alex, her sister, then came in with all her "Babaeng Hampaslupa" outfit and gave a funny skit on their sort of "sibling rivalry" with the songs Super Bass and Stupid Love which was then called the Stupid Bass. While Toni was out having an outfit change, Alex then pulled/pushed on stage, the naive-looking but cute Direk Paul Soriano on stage for some sort of a Bachelor Bash. I learned from someone that Paul really didn't know about this segment but willingly did for his One and Only Love. Whooot whooot! The bachelor bash then became a Gandang Gabi Bash by Vice Ganda. This segment almost made the crowd rolling on the floor with laughter with the combination of two Witty persons on-stage.

One touching moment in the show was when Toni dedicated the song "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera to her Mom, Mommy Pinty. It almost made me cry how Toni described her mom as someone who pushed her and believed in her that's why she is where she is now. This only shows how loving and obedient Toni is to her parents; that even at her age, she can still be texted "Umuwi Ka Na" by Daddy Bonoy that she obliges.

A special segment was done with Gary Valenciano and Toni talking to each other, as if it was Live Streaming 'coz Gary V was currently out of the country for a show. They even had a duet with a Celine Dion song "I'm Your Angel". The show took almost 3hours to finish with Toni's rendition of Fireworks and encored with Rihanna's Shut-up and Drive via the Ford Fiesta on the side of the stage.

When news of this show came out, a some people doubted Toni Gonzaga's capability to fill up the huge seating capacity of Araneta Coliseum. But then she proved them wrong with a Sold-out concert plus almost all the Bosses of ABSCBN and her Kapamilya Stars were there to support her.

I didn't text or call Toni yet to congratulate her coz i really plan to do it thru this blog. So Celestine Gonzaga, Congratulations for a very very successful concert! You have a achieved a great dream. Truly you have ignited your light & shined, owned the night of September 30 and showed us what you're really worth.

"You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon" - Firework by Katy Perry
