KAYANG-KAYA KAHIT ANO PA 'YAN

OK lang kung minsan
Nakadadanas ng kalungkutan
Nagigising ang isipan
Sa katotohanang dinaraanan


OK lang kung minsan
Pagsubok ay maranasan
Sadyang ganyan ang kapalaran
Dadanasin kahit sino pa man


Koro:
OK lang na kalimutan
Suliraning walang katapusan
Ngunit, bumangon na at labanan
Kayang-kaya kahit ano pa 'yan


OK lang ang lumuha
Sa lungkot man o sa ligaya
Huwag nang ipagtaka
Sapagkat ganyan 'yan talaga


OK lang na layuan
Kung pansamantala lamang
Pagkat di mawawala yan
Hanggat di ito na su-solusyonan


(Ulitin ang Koro 2X, tapusin ang awit)

Graduation Gig at San Lorenzo Village

March 26, 2011, newly graduates Bros Jase, Lloyd and Jaemil celebrated in San Lorenzo Village at Bro Hernan's newly re-constructed house. Brethren from all groups were represented. The party started with videoke singing until we (Masid Acoustic) ruined their night when we started playing our music to them. There were jammers too from Binhi, Kadiwa, Buklod ang MT's. Some know that they could do better than the last performer but they're just too shy. 
I was surprised with Shen-shen's type of music,rock, good on you Shen-shen.

Lots of March birthday celebrants were there too. Good to hear the "Mang-aawit's" too, they're not used to singing with live acoustic band backup. We intended to play only a few songs but we ended up doing more. We don't mind that thought, hope the feeling is mutual :).

To those who appreciated our music, thank you very much. We love doing this and we will continue doing it.

Hectic Schedule on March 24, 2012

It is now 25 March 2011, 2:30 in the afternoon. After arriving from Manila at around 10am, I took the much needed nap. I was already awake since 5am to prepare for the trip back to Laguna. 


Yesterday, was a rather hectic day for Dee, Kyle and I. We started our day at 3:30 in the morning because March 24, 2012 is a special day for us. It's our Sta. Cena. We left the house at about 4am so we could be in the church  for the 6am service. We arrived (Balibago Central) at about 430am hoping that we will be one of the early birds, we were not.  Church service started at 6am and took about an hour-and-a-half to finish. We were Cleansed. We performed our church duties after the service that took us till 12nn.

Dee & George after having lunch at MacJollie

Lunch was at MacJollie with Bro. Aldrin Andres. We needed to go home immediately to prepare for our trip to Marikina for a 6:30pm dinner date with my In-Laws (Joey's post birthday dinner).

Danny, Joey, Kyle & Francine

Traffic in Alabang and C5 was terrible. There were no traffic enforcers to manage the chaos. We arrived at Gerry's a few minutes before dinner is served. Majority of the clan was there, Jing and Mitz were a bit late but they made it.

Jing & Mitzie

Efren, Rino and Jax didn't make it.  We left Gerry's about 9pm.  We all headed our own way. I had to demo a song (original composition) to my mom and eldest sister in Tandang Sora, a song that hopefully will pass the screening and be used in a choir contest. We left Tandang Sora at 11:30pm to go to Jing and Mitzi's place to spend the night there.

TROUBLE - Coldplay

My version of Coldplay's song called "TROUBLE" - this song was used in Kyle's award winning film when he was still a CommArts student. I couldn't find an instrumental version of the song so I had to do it myself.  I've included the lyrics of the song so you can sing along if you wish. Enjoy and stay out of TROUBLE :)!

Title: TROUBLE
Lyrics & Music by: COLDPLAY
Instrumental Version by: George Lazo


Oh no I see
A spider web it's tangled up with me
And I lost my head
The thought of all the stupid things I said


Oh no what's this
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done


And oh I never meant to cause you trouble
And oh and I never meant to do you wrong
And oh well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no I never meant to do you harm


Oh no I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble


Singing out
Oh I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh I never meant to do you wrong
Oh well if I ever caused you troubleThey spun a web for me
Oh no I never meant to do you harm


They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me 

UTOS MO’Y IINGATAN NAMIN

Ama, narito na po kami

Mga lingkod mong pinili

Handog namin ang aming sarili

Na sa Iglesia mo’y manatili

Ama, laganap dito’y pagsubok

Ngunit di po kami natatakot

Mga aral mo sa ami’y nagdulot

Ng tiwala siyang magbabakod

Koro:

Ama, tapat kami’t masunurin

Binubuhay aral Mo sa amin

Hanggang wakas ito’y susundin

Utos Mo’y iingatan namin

Ama, kapag kami’y ‘yong kukunin na

At mga anak nami’y maiiwanan pa

Paki alalayan po huwag mapariwara

Upang sa langit kami’y magkita-kita

Ama, laman ng aming puso

Ikaw po nakababatid nito

Tunay ang layunin namin, opo

Tanggapin paglapit namin sa iyo

(ulitin ang koro)
