OPM Love Songs

Muli / Sana Maulit Muli

2005-09-03T14:48:00.000+08:00

i've been hearing people talking about gary v these days. is it because of his concert? sabi ni porqi maganda daw! :)

one of the first artists i admired back when i was still small was gary v. there was simply something powerful in his tenor voice that caught my attention.

i remember that we were in grade 3 then when we sang his song, 'Di Bale Na Lang for a school activity. for the rest of my grade school days, i would look forward to his other albums--tapes were the way to go back then. i particularly enjoyed his concert albums, Move and Shout, respectively. i would play them as we went to school. i would play them again when we went home from school. i think my siblings were at their highest tolerance then. those were my days in high school. hehehehe. :)

cds eventually become more and more popular. they were priced at P375 each. do you remember those days? i recall saving up for the two disc Best of Gary V set. these remain to be me among my favorite cds until now, many years after i had bought them.

here are two song duets with gary v. the first is a relatively old but really well-written piece entitled Muli, sung with regine velasquz. the other song is a
really smooth remake of the classic Sana Maulit Muli, sung with kyla.

MULI
Gary Valenciano / Regine Velasquez

Muling hinahanap
Ang dating paglingap na mula sa'yo
Muling umaasa
Sa dating nadaramang laan sa'yo
Mula ng magwakas, tapusin ang lahat
Ay naritong nagmamahal pa rin
Pa'no kaya maibabalik
Ang damdamin mong dati

'Di ba't ikaw pa
Unang may nais na tapusin na
Habang panahon
Pinilit limutin ka hanggang ngayon
Mula ng magwakas, tapusin ng lahat
Hindi maikakailang ikaw pa rin
Papa'no kaya maibabalik
Ang hangaring dati

Refrain:
Ba't di nagkatagpo
Bakit tuloy nagkalayo
Bakit mayro'n pang nadarama
Gayong hindi na tayong dalawa
Bakit magwawakas
Pag-ibig na wagas
Ma'ri bang mangyari pang
Ibigin pang...Muli

Kung muling iibigin
H'wag sanang lisanin nang tulad noon
Pagluha'y di na kaya
H'wag na sanang isipin nang tulad gayon

Hanggang sa nagwakas,
Natapos ang lahat
Ay naritong nagmamahal pa rin
Paano pa ba maibabalik
Ang hangaring dati
(Maa'ri pa kayang muli....)

REFRAIN:
Ba't di nagkatagpo
Bakit tuloy nagkalayo
Bakit mayro'n pang nadarama
Gayong hindi na tayong dalawa
Bakit magwawakas
Pag-ibig na wagas
Ma'ri bang mangyari pang
Ibigin pang...
Muli

Nandito lang ako
(bago lumayo sa pilling mo)
Higit kang kailangan kailan man
(hanggang kailan kaya naman)
Mahala kita (tila)
Hanap ka (sana) (tunay kaya ito)
Minsan pang bigyan ng daan
Pag-ibig na sa'yo nakalaan

REFRAIN:
Ba't di nagkatagpo
Bakit tuloy nagkalayo
Bakit mayro'n pang nadarama
Gayong hindi na tayong dalawa
Bakit magwawakas
Pag-ibig na wagas
Ma'ri bang mangyari pang
Ibigin pang...
Muli

---------------------------------------

SANA MAULIT MULI
Gary Valenciano

Sana maulit muli, ang mga oras nating nakaraan
Bakit nagkaganito, naglaho na ba ang pag-ibig mo
Sana maulit muli, sana'y bigyan ng pansin ang himig ko
Kahapon bukas ngayon, tanging wala ng ibang mahal

Kung kaya kong umiwas na, di na sana aasa pa
Kung kaya kong iwanan ka, di na sana lalapit pa
Kung kaya ko sana

Ibalik ang kahapon, sandaling di mapapantayan
Huwag sana nating itapon, pagmamahal na tapat
Kung ako'y nagkamali minsan, di na ba mapagbibigyan
O giliw, dinggin mo ang nais ko

Kung kaya kong umiwas na, di na sana aasa pa
Kung kaya kong iwanan ka, di na sana lalapit pa
Kung kaya ko sana

Ito ang tanging nais ko, ang ating kahapon
Sana maulit muli

Kung kaya kong umiwas na, di na sana aasa pa
Kung kaya kong iwanan ka, di na sana lalapit pa

O giliw, o giliw ko

Can This Be Love / Kahit Habang Buhay

2005-08-28T10:45:00.000+08:00

i was in grade school when these songs first played. back then, Smokey Mountain was a big hit among us youngsters who went to school each morning, hoping that the radio would play their songs before we hit the school gates.

i even remember excitedly waiting for Kahit Habang Buhay so i could sing the second voice to myself. those were the days...

---------------------------------------

CAN THIS BE LOVE
Smokey Mountain

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I know for certain I'm reeling right now
I don't recall ever feeling this way
Tell me what does one say
To one who makes me feel this way

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I am not sure of this feeling somehow
Why do I tremble whenever you're near
I can't seem to say my words so you'll hear

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt
So helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times
I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I love the feeling it's giving me now
A voice inside me is guiding me now
It's telling me now
To take your hand and say

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt
So helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times
I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt
So helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times
I'd tell you once again
This is the first time
This is the first time
It's the first time I'm gonna say
"I love you"

---------------------------------------

KAHIT HABANG BUHAY
Smokey Mountain

Nakakalito ang mundo.
Kung sinong mahal mo, s'yang ayaw sa 'yo
H'wag sanang masayang itong
Damdamin kong laan sa 'yo.

Pa'no naman ako?
Kay tagal ko nang umibig sa 'yo.
H'wag sanang masayang itong
Damdamin kong laan sa 'yo.

Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Kahit pa maglaho ang mundo.
Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Asahan mong hindi magpapalit
Itong damdamin ko.

Pa'no naman ako?
Kay tagal ko nang umibig sa 'yo.
H'wag sanang masayang itong
Damdamin kong laan sa 'yo.

Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Kahit pa maglaho ang mundo.
Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Asahan mong hindi magpapalit
Itong damdamin ko.

Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Kahit pa maglaho ang mundo.
Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Asahan mong hindi magpapalit
Hindi-hindi magpapalit
Hindi-hindi magpapalit
Itong damdamin ko.

Kailangan Kita / Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw

2005-08-22T15:26:00.001+08:00

when i first taught philosophy in Ateneo de Davao after i graduated in 2000, one of the challenges i had to face was how to bring down what i understood from Fr. Ferriols' many classes and teach them in ways that would relate to students' experiences.

as i tackled marcel's texts in my philo of religion class, we discussed the film La Strada (The Road)--a film which probably several of you know of. anyway, since intersubjectivity was the theme of the discussion, what better way to get students' attention that to spice it up with--yes, you guessed it--LOVE.

love. ha! :)

because it was also a serious philosophical discourse, we tried to emphasize the difference between KITA and IKAW.... no, i will not discuss that here in the email. hehehehehehehe.

anyhow, here's Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw and Kailangan Kita... two songs that talk about the Beloved, one of which is probably stretching its gramatical artistic license. mabuhay ang wikang filipino. (huh? hahahaha.)

on an unrelated note, though, i think Kailangan Kita is a really nice song to sing to somone you wish to propose to, or at least a song worth singing on a wedding day. :)

---------------------------------------

KAILANGAN KITA
Gary Valenciano

Sa piling mo lang nadarama
Ang tunay na pagsinta
'Pag yakap kita nang mahigpit
Parang ako'y nasa langit

Ngunit ito ay panaginip lamang
Pagkat ang puso mo'y
Labis kong nasaktan
Pakiusap ko ako ay pakinggan

Kailangan kita, ngayon at kailanman
Kailangan mong malaman na ikaw lamang
Ang tunay kong minamahal
At tangi kong hiling ay makapiling ka muli

Ngunit ito ay panaginip lamang
Pagkat ang puso mo'y
Labis kong nasaktan
Pakiusap ko ako ay pakinggan

Kailangan kita, ngayon at kailanman
Kailangan mong malaman na ikaw lamang
Ang tunay kong minamahal
Ang lagi kong dinarasal

Kailangan kita, ngayon at kailanman
Kailangan mong malaman na ikaw lamang
Ang tunay kong minamahal
At tangi kong hiling ay makapiling ka muli

Kailangan kita

---------------------------------------

KAILANGAN KO'Y IKAW
Regine Velasquez

Kailangan ko'y ikaw dito sa piling ko
Kailangan kong madama ang pag-ibig mo
Sa bawat oras na 'di ka nakikita
Para bang kay bigat ng nadarama

O, giliw nasan ka, bakit lumisan ka
Paano nang puso kong nag-iisa
O, giliw nasan ka, bakit lumisan ka
Paano nang puso kong nag-iisa

Kailangan ko'y ikaw sa bawat sandali
Kailangan kong yakap mo at iyong halik
Kailangan ko'y ikaw dito sa buhay ko
Paano nang puso kong nag-iisa

Kailangan ko'y ikaw

Let's Stop and Talk a While

2005-08-14T22:16:00.000+08:00

okay, so i've been busy this weekend... i think i spent too much time setting up my blog, or should I say, blogs...

you might want to visit them, by the way. hehehehehe.

http://recusantpilgrim.blogspot.com/
for kinda serious stuff

http://insouciantsojourner.blogspot.com/
for whatever

anyway, because of the "lack" of time, here's a simple remake by lea salonga of an old jose mari chan classic. think of walks in the park and sharing ice cream. whatever. :)

---------------------------------------

LET'S STOP AND TALK A WHILE
Lea Salonga

Fancy meeting you alone in the crowd
Couldn't help but notice your smile
While everybody else around us is goin' about
Can we just stop and talk awhile

I've been often told our world's growing old
And that friends are harder to find
Do tell me more about yourself
We could share a thought or two, now who would mind

Maybe then we could go for a ride
Drive down to the countryside
Get away from the gray
And frenzied hurly-burly of the city life

Early yet to say what lies ahead
It's the first day of the rest of our lives
Can we just stop and talk awhile
Get to know each other, who are we to know
Love could be waiting at the end,
'Round that bend and so
Let's stop and talk a while

Maybe then we could go for a ride
Drive down to the countryside
Get away from the gray
And frenzied hurly-burly of the city life

Early yet to say what lies ahead
It's the first day of the rest of our lives
Can we just stop and talk awhile
Get to know each other, who are we to know
Love could be waiting at the end,
'Round that bend and so
Let's stop and talk a while

Let's stop and talk a while
Let's stop and talk a while
Let's stop and talk a while

Misty Glass Window / I Believe in Dreams

2005-08-07T18:26:00.000+08:00

here are two more senti slow songs. :)

i think i was in first year high school during this time. back then, Magic 89.9, RX 93.1--among others--were already well-known stations. they played this acoustic song on the radio, a song i looked forward to hearing. as soon as the opening chords would play, i'd turn on the casette player, press 'record', and hope that my blank tape had enough free space on it. that's how we did it then. a blank tape had such power to compile your favorite songs.

unfortunately, i lost my copy of Misty Glass Window many years ago. i guess the Artstart song was overlapped by other popular songs as the years gone by. for all i know, among the tons of casette tapes that still remain in the corner of my old room, some gems are yet to be rediscovered...

as fate would have it though, i encountered the same song again a year or two ago, venturing through a tiangge selling pirated CDs. and there it was, one of my old favorites, in its digitized glory. i remember i was laughing so hard as i held up the pirated piece of intellectual property. the man who was selling the stuff probably thought me mad. ;)

the other old senti song we have on our playlist is by Janno Gibbs. I Believe in Dreams. for all you guitar enthusiasts out there: I dare you. ikapa n'yo yung kantang ito. bawal mag-cheating by downloading the tabs or chords from the internet. hahaha. :) the song is beautiful because the message is simple. but it is also beautiful because the music behind the words is surprisingly complex. the shift in chords and the chord patterns do not follow the usual pop song formula. oh well, just listen to it, and you may or may not agree with me. :) hehehehe.

---------------------------------------

MISTY GLASS WINDOWS
Artstart

Rain falls
Dark clouds are racing up above
I gaze in solitude
Looking through a misty glass window
'Cause then it used to be the two of us

This empty room
Filled my thoughts with memories of you
I turned and looked around
Oh, but found no sight of you
I guess it'll never be as true, no no ooh

Starlight
All I need is you tonight
Oh, starbright
Grant my wish tonight
I'm beggin' you, starlight
All I need is you tonight
Hoh, starbright
Get rid of the spell tonight, ooh

Rain falls
Dark clouds keep racing up above
It's still in solitude
Oh, longin' for you
Guess my heart will always be with you
My heart will always be with you

Starlight
All I need is you tonight
Oh, starbright
Grant my wish tonight
I'm beggin' you, starlight
All I need is you tonight
Hoh, starbright
Get rid of the spell tonight

----------------------------------

I BELIEVE IN DREAMS
Janno Gibbs

Lying in the gloom
Of my lonely room
Thinking of how to reach you
Dreaming of havin' you

I believe in dreams
And I believe in miracles
I believe that toy balloons
Can reach and touch the moon

I don't have the courage and the will
To say the words but i can feel
That what's inside me is for real

Oh, and I know someday
I'll have the chance to prove and say
Three simple words will come your way
I know I'll have a chance someday

'Cause I believe in dreams
And I believe in miracles
I believe that toy balloons
Can reach and touch the moon

I don't have the courage and the will
To say the words but i can feel
That what's inside me is for real

Oh, and I know someday
I'll have the chance to prove and say
Three simple words will come your way
I know I'll have a chance someday

A chance for me to say
That I love you
Oh I love you
Yes I love you
Oh I love you

I believe in dreams
I believe my dreams will all
Come true

Ikaw ang Mahal Ko / Mapansin

2005-07-31T23:14:00.000+08:00

we return to more contemporary times this week. :)

before jimmy bondoc became famous as a solo artist, he was a member of Ateneo High's famed Dulaang Sibol. taken from the album 'Sumibol,' the track Ikaw ang Mahal Ko is a slow but sweet song one sings to one's beloved. even as it has religous overtones, the song itself speaks simply of the basic truth that one is loved... this soulful rendition makes you want to cuddle up on a cool evening and listen to crickets chirp the night away... on a personal note, songs like these help me get in touch with that simple desire we all share: "to be told that I am loved for who I am." :)

frankly, i wasn't impressed with Paolo Santos at the start of his career. all he was doing was reviving old songs that have been revived several times over by other artists. songs like 'moonlight over paris,' 'return to pooh corner,' and others, were--quite frankly--performed far better by the original artists. but what finally caught my attention was when he started releasing his own stuff, original material that was showing his more creative side. the groovy song Mapansin marks the beginning of this worthy effort.

---------------------------------------

IKAW ANG MAHAL KO
Jimmy Bondoc

Ikaw ang mahal ko, hindi ang suot mo
Ikaw ang mahal ko, hindi ang mabibili mo
Hindi ang mga bagay-bagay na bumabalot sa 'yo

Ang tunay na ikaw sa kaloob-looban mo
Sa kailaliman ng 'yong pagkatao
Ang ikaw na tunay at totoo
Ikaw ang mahal ko

Ikaw ang mahal ko, pati pangarap mo
Ikaw ang mahal ko, pati mga pagkabigo
Pati ang mga adhikain na tagos sa 'yong dugo

Ang tunay na ikaw na sa iba'y tinatago
At kaluluwa mong hindi maglalaho
Ang ikaw na ikaw, Aparri mo't Jolo
Ikaw ang mahal ko

----------------------------------

MAPANSIN
Paolo Santos

Hooh pa pa rap pa pa pa pam
Pa ra ram bam bam ba ram
Hooh pa pa rap pa pa pa pam
Pa ra ram bam bam ba ram

Pakiramdam ko ay sumisigla
Kapag nakikita ang iyong ganda
Di ko malaman ang siyang gagawin
Magpapa-cute lang ba o manlalambing
Na lang sa `yo

Di mo man lang napuna
Na ako ay labis na nangangamba
Itong pag-ibig na umaasa
Nananalig sa iyo nang mapansin ako

Hooh pa pa rap pa pa pa pam
Pa ra ram bam bam ba ram

Papa'no kaya ako gagalaw
Kung bawa't kilos mo'y
Tinatanaw, tinitingnan
Dapat siguro ako ay magbantay
Sa puso mo na unti-unting
Pumapatay sa `kin

Ang aking kalungkutan
Hindi mahirap magawan ng paraan
Bitin ang huwag mong masubukan
Lumalapit sa iyo nang mapuna ako

Araw at gabi iniisip ika'y katabi
At ginagawa ang lahat
Nang napansin mo lang
Ang aking hinahangad

Pakiramdam ko ay sumisigla
Kapag nakikita ang iyong ganda
Di ko malaman ang siyang gagawin
Magpapa-cute lang ba o
Manlalambing na lang sa `yo

Di mo man lang napuna
Na ako ay labis na nangangamba
Itong pag-ibig na umaasa
Lumalapit sa iyo nang mapuna ako
Nananalig sa iyo
Nang mapansin man lang ako

Hooh pa pa rap pa pa pa pam
Pa ra ram bam bam ba ram
Hooh pa pa rap pa pa pa pam
Pa ra ram bam bam ba ram

Muntik Na Kitang Minahal / Why Can't It Be?

2005-07-23T11:06:00.000+08:00

okay, heto na naman tayo... :)

have you ever had that experience of "sayang, malapit na sana... pero hindi pa rin eh... pero kung sana lang..."? this song is for those who may have found themselves in such blurred landscapes. maybe, just maybe, your heart will remember--maybe it will even speak of regret--when you hear the words, "Muntik na Kitang Minahal."

since we are in the realm of melancholia anyway, let's feed the flame, shall we? here's a song for frustrated lovers who ask the question, "Why Can't it Be?"

---------------------------------------

MUNTIK NA KITANG MINAHAL
The Company

May sikreto akong sasabihin sa `yo
Mayroong nangyaring hindi mo alam
Ito'y isang lihim itinagong kay tagal
Muntik na kitang minahal

`Di ko noon nakayang ipadama sa `yo
Ang nararamdaman ng pusong ito
At hanggang ngayon ay naaalala pa
Muntik na kitang minahal

REFRAIN:
Ngayon ay aaminin ko na
Na sana nga'y tayong dalawa
Bawa't tanong mo'y iniwasan ko
Akala ang pag-ibig mo'y `di totoo
`Di ko alam kung anong nangyari
Damdamin ko sa `yo'y hindi ko nasabi
Hanggang ang puso mo'y napagod
Sa paghihintay kay tagal
Saka ko lang naisip muntik na kitang minahal

`Di ko noon nakayang ipadama sa `yo
Ang nararamdaman ng pusong ito
At hanggang ngayon ay naaalala pa
Muntik na kitang minahal

REFRAIN:
Ngayon ay aaminin ko na
Na sana nga'y tayong dalawa
Bawa't tanong mo'y iniwasan ko
Akala ang pag-ibig mo'y `di totoo
`Di ko alam kung anong nangyari
Damdamin ko sa `yo'y hindi ko nasabi
Hanggang ang puso mo'y napagod
Sa paghihintay kay tagal
Saka ko lang naisip
Muntik na kitang minahal

Hanggang ang puso mo'y napagod
Sa paghihintay kay tagal
Saka ko lang naisip
Muntik na kitang minahal

----------------------------------

WHY CAN'T IT BE?
Rannie Raymundo

You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world
Oh baby please don't get me wrong
'Cause I'm not complaining
But you see, you got my mind spinning

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me

Baby I dream of you every minute
You're in my dreams
You're always in it
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours
But only til I wake up

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me

(interlude)

That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours
But only til I wake up

REFRAIN:
Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time

You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me

Ang Aking Awitin

2005-07-15T11:50:00.001+08:00

one of my most favorite songs of all time! :) orginally written by bong gabriel, it competed in one of the first metropop song festivals in manila. side a revived in the 1990s, and they also came out with an acoustic version of it several years later. :) Ladies and gents, Ang Aking Awitin...

---------------------------------------

ANG AKING AWITIN
Bong Gabriel

Bakit di ko maamin sa iyo
Ang tunay na awitin ng loob ko
Di ko nais mabuhay pa kung wala sa piling mo
Ngunit di ko pa rin maamin sa iyo

Di malaman ang sasabihin 'pag kaharap ka
Ngunit nililingon naman pag dumaraan na
O ang laking pagkakamali
Kung di niya malalaman
Sa awitin kong ito ipadarama

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la
Sa awitin kong ito ipadarama

At kung ako'y lumipas at limot na
Ang awitin kong ito'y alaala ka
Awitin ng damdamin ko sa iyo maiiwan
Sa pagbulong ng hangin ng nakaraan
O sa pagbulong ng hangin ng nakaraan

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la
Sa awitin kong ito ipadarama

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la
Sa awitin kong ito ipadarama

----------------------------------

MORE AND MORE
Gary Valenciano

There's something about the rain when it pours
It gets me thinkin' of you more and more
There's something about the way you are
That takes this empty feeling oh so far
Now I know, can't deny what I'm feeling
Can I hold you, can I have you a little longer
Can I know you, through my eyes let me tell you
I'm loving you more and more

There's something about the warmth of your touch
That came for a moment, yet told me so much
I wish I didn't have to waste all that time
When I make believe that you are mine
Now I know can't deny that I am falling
Coz I love you, wanna have you by me forever (and
ever)
Can I hold you, through my eyes let me tell you
(I'm lovin' you more)

If you knew what I've been going through
Would you feel the same way too
Tell me now what more can I do to get to
Know you and open up your heart
Show me where to start
Coz I'm loving you more and more

More and more...
Now I know can't deny that I'm falling
(Coz I love you) You should know
I'm lovin' you so
Wanna have you by me forever (and ever)
Can I hold you, through my eyes let me tell you
I'm lovin' you more and more
(Can I know you) You should know
I'm lovin' you so
Wanna have you by me forever (and ever)
(Can I hold you) I wanna hold you
Through my eyes let me tell you
I'm loving you more and more...

----------------------------------

BAKIT NGAYON KA LANG
Ogie Alcasid

Bakit ngayon ka lang
Bakit ngayon kung kailan ang aking puso'y
Mayron ng laman
Sana'y nalaman ko
Na darating ka sa buhay ko
'Di sana'y naghihtay ako

Refrain:
Ikaw sana ang aking yakap-yakap
Ang iyong kamay lagi ang aking hawak
At hindi kanya

Chorus:
Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating sa buhay ko
Pilit binubuksan ang sarado ko ng puso
Ikaw ba ay nararapat sa akin
At siya ba'y dapat ko nang limutin
Nais kong malaman
Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating

Refrain 2:
Ikaw sana ang aking yakap-yakap
Ang iyong kamay lagi ang aking hawak
At hindi kanya
At hindi kanya

Chorus:
Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating sa buhay ko
Pilit binubuksan ang sarado ko ng puso
Ikaw ba ay nararapat sa akin
At siya ba'y dapat ko nang limutin
Nais kong malaman
Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating

originally a weekly thing for the aclc 'communitree' yahoogroup, i thought it would be nice to post the stuff written each week on this blog as well. yehey!

of course, there's no sample music included, unlike the one in the yahoogroup. hehehehe. :)
