Mark and I turned 1 yesterday. yehey! anyway, as part of this mushy commemoration of our relationship.. i usually gave him his requested cds of another new bands he discovered, from emo-screamo and hardcore to some techno bands he’s starting to love.. but instead of doing it, i burnt him a compiled songs that reminds me of him and our experiences over the past year.. and  wrote him a letter explaining and/or reminding him of what does each song mean..

(this is not exactly the same content with the letter i gave him, i deleted the personal part..heehee)

Brighter

Artist: Paramore

This is the first song that reminds me of you. Sabi mo pag nakanta ko ‘to pakakasalan mo ako.. haha.. mga pa-cute days ta.. hehehe

“Well this is not your fault
But if I’m without you
Then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
Always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.”

First of Summer

Artist: urbandub

Covered by Insignia at Peñaranda park. You sang along to this song. It put a smile to my face because it’s our first date and we seem so comfortable with each other already. February 14, 2007—Valentine’s day..haha!.

“We’re living it up
Make this night ours
We own the world
I wish this lasts forever
Alone with you tonight
Further in you feels so right.”

I miss you

Artist: Blink 182

This is supposed to be a different song. Letters to you sana ng Finch ang ilalagay ko kaso I found out na kanta din pala yun sau ng isa sa mga ex mo haha.. kaya ito nalang. Ito kasi yung tawag mo sakin.. haha… IMISHU.. kasi sabi mo nga palagi kitang namimiss. And that’s where our term of endearment comes from.. how creative. ;).. na-extra din dito si jack and sally, kita baga ito? Hehe..

“We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
where you can always find me
we’ll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we’ll wish this never ends
we’ll wish this never ends.”

I want you to want me

Artist: letters to cleo

I remembered you texted me one night containing the exact lyrics of this song. Akala mo ‘di ko marerecognize huh.. hehe… by this time we had a mutual understanding but things are complicated then.. =(

“I want you to want me; I need you to need me.

I love you to love me; I’m begging you to beg me”

No Ordinary Love

Artist: urbandub

For me, this is the best song that could ever describe the nature of our relationship. I already wrote something about this on my blog, diba?

“There’s nothing like you and I baby
this is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
this is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
when you came my way
you brightened every day
with your sweet smile…”

Alright Alright

Artist: sahara hotnights

This song is for all the wasted, sleepless nights, gigs and all the fun that we encountered together.

Martha: “I wanna make some noise”

Mark: “Alright! Alright!”

Guillotine

Artist: Urbandub

We sing along to this song every so often. Be it on the radio or covered by local bands here..hehe. Parang instant na kagad that we’re supposed to sing along with it. Although the lyrics are not quite appropriate for us, catchy kasi yung song eh..;)

“You’re pushing me too far
we’ve had our run
with your arms wrapped tight
around my neck
Close my eyes I sink and grasp for breath.”

Procrastinator

Artist: sandwich

Another one of our fave! Haha.. bakit? Feeling mo kasi you look like Mong Alcaraz.. haha. And that skinny jeans of his.. harhar. We sing along to this song din especially the Hey! Hey! Part.. haha..;)

“You can count on me
I’m gonna get it done, get it done
Before the night segues to day
Before the city wakes
Before the rooster shakes
Before the icing hits the cake
We gotta operate..hey! hey!”

You told me you loved me

Artist: cinematic sunrise

This song is for all the sad moments, the bad memories and all the fights. Why did I still include this? Because all those memories helped strengthen our relationship.

“An endless scilence.
It’s been too long since I’ve heard from you.
And I lay sleepless
Knowing that my heart still belongs to you.
and I’ve never been one to brag.”

241 (my favorite song)

Artist: rivermaya

I may not emphasize to you how much I love it when you sing this song in videoke! hehehe. But really, it makes my heart melts whenever you sing this song, makes me want to smother you..haha. This song compliments your voice better than the song ‘I don’t want to miss a thing’.. haha. You sing great mark. Believe me.

“I want to live forever

Inside the nights and days.

Wishing on a silver cloud,

Crawling across the moonbeams.

A summer night in heaven

Between the stars and waves.

Race across the old bonfire;

Trample on my heartbeat.”

“I wanted to turn you on

My favorite song.

Wanted to be near you

But somebody owns you now.”

Hallelujah

Artist: paramore

And then we decided that we’ll make us last forever…

“This time we’re not giving up,
Let’s make it last forever,
Screaming “Hallelujah”.
We’ll make it last forever.”

Come what may

Artist: Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole kidman

Sabi mo nga this is our wedding song Hahahaha… soundtrack of one of your favorite movies, Moulin rouge.;)

“Oh, come what may, come what may

I will love you, I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you until my dying day”

Happy anniversary Mark;)
