The 30 day blog challenge - Day 15

put your iPod on shuffle and share the first 10 songs that play

I remember when I started out this 30-day blog challenge not 15 days but (oh my gosh) 7 months ago, I had no iPod. Naisip ko pa nga, ang corny naman pag nareach ko na tong day 15, mp3 player ng cp ko lang magagamit ko (eh iilan lang kanta dun, haha).  Anyhoo... enough with the flashbacks. :)

Songs in shuffle mode (plus a little of their lyrics):

I'm a mixture of love songs-rock-rnb type of gal, so...

1. Droplets by Colbie Callait
Cuz I'm walkin down this road alone and figured all
I'm thinking bout is you, is you my love..
 
When I'm with you
To me everything is effortless

2. Glad by Tyler Hilton
You can't say what you want or
Take what you want or
Rest and wake anyway that you want
You said your life needed something special
Well here I am, baby..
Well, aren't you glad?

3. Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne (one of my favorites)
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down on one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say..

4. I swear by All 4 One
For better or worse.. Till death do us part..
I love you with every beat of my heart..
I swear..

5. Dance with my Father by Luther Vandross
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved?
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again

6. For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic by Paramore
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

I'm not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fight shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You'll get what you deserve

7. Because of You by Neyo
and I know this much is true
baby you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you, I can barely move
But I like it and it's all because of you

8. Please don't Leave Me by Pink
I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry.

9. You Smile by Justin Bieber
If you need me I'll come running from a thousand miles away
When you smile, I smile.. ;)

10. There's No Easy Way by James Ingram (I so love this song, I will paste the whole of its lyrics, hihi)

I held her close to me
'Cause I know she breaks so easily
And then I told her
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her
She's just do the best she could
But there are times the best in no damn good
And no matter how you try to be kind
There's always still a part of you you leave behind
When it falls apart
 
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

I lied and told her she'd be fine
Though we both knew it was just a lie
I had to do it
'Cause I'd a' said anytihng to help me get through it

Then she reached out for my hand
And her simple touch was more than I could stand
And I had to turn away
'Cause I knew all the hurt
That she was feeling I was feeling too
'Cause when it falls apart
 
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

She could've gotten angry
And made me feel like a guilty child
But I realized that never was her style
I wanted her to hurt me
And not treat me like a friend
I wanted to to say there'd be someday
I'm come crawling on my kneeds to ask her back again
But she acted like a lady 'til the end
Oh, what a lady

I thought that she'd break down
But she smiled at me and never made a sound
And I guess she understood in her way
Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
When it falls apart
There's just no easy way
 
There's just no easy way
There's just no easy way to break somebody's heart.

The 30 day blog challenge - Day 04

List 15 songs that represent your life’s soundtrack

I realized I’m still far from day 30 of this 7^th rule yet I promised to finish this before the year ends.  So excuse me while I kinda rush into this. Haha! Here goes Day 04. :)

Here’s how this will work: I’m gonna share the 15 songs that went on top of my head as I tried to squeeze out the “soundtracks” of my life. I will also try and categorize them according to whatever I so damn please.  Plus, let me include my favorite lines from the song. ;-)

Here you go:

When I’m having a bad day:

#1 Bad Day by Daniel Powter (of course! lol)

‘Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride

#2 Boston by Augustana

I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...

#3 Please don’t stop the Rain by James Morrison

I don’t know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said
Or didn’t say this time?

When my heart is breaking:

#4 Faint by Linkin Park

So, I let go watchin' you, turn your back
Like you always do, face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you are all that I've got

#5 My Favorite Mistake by Sheryl Crow

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending,
to the bad day I'd gotten used to spending.
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake.

#6 Kasalanan by 6cyclemind

Sa iyo lahat ay paharang dahil ayaw mong magparaya
Habang siyay bigay ng bigay at ipinauubaya lahat ng
Makakabuti kahit na pang huling butil ay iaabot sa iyo.
Parang ikay isang inutil na hindi nagiisip wala kang
Nararamdaman subukan mang pumikit wala kang
Natatandaan lagi mong inaalala ang para lamang sa yo
Walang iba kundi ikaw at kailanmay walang kayo
Mapalad ka kung hihingan mo ng tawad ay nagagalit
Ikay sasaktan at sumisigaw ng salitang pumupunit kaysa
Pilit mong kausapin ay di na sasagot akapin
Man ng mahigpit ay di mo na maabot (Patawad)

#7 Lightyears Away by Mozella

It's almost like you had it planned
It's like you smiled and shook my hand
And said

"Hey, I'm about to screw you over big time"
And what was I supposed to do
I was stuck in between you
In a hard place
We won't talk about
The hard place

When drowning in love:

#8 Today was a Fairy Tale by Taylor Swift

Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make, everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale

#9 Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

On Life:

#10 Always Love by Nada Surf

Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out
But Always Love, Hate will get you every time
Always Love even when you want to fight

#11 I Hope you Dance by Lee Ann Womack

Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

When reminiscent of friends:

#12 Kanlungan by Noel Cabangon

Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan?

#13 On the side of me by Corrinne May

I'm not the easiest person to love
I'm often the one who lets things go unresolved
Yet you choose to be
On the side of me

On loving myself:

#14 Don't Rain on my Parade by Glee Cast/Barbara Streisand

Don't tell me not to fly--
I've simply got to.
If someone takes a spill,
It's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade!

My Favorite Videoke Song, haha!:

#15 Linger by Cranberries

But I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
