  • stolen from the other Xanga

    This is a Filipino lullaby called "Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan." I included English subtitles, but the program I used to edit this had a time limit on subtitles. I apologize if they move too fast.

    For the record, I'm nowhere near fluent in Tagalog. Neither of my parents speak it, so I'm teaching myself. If any of my Filipino readers still use Xanga, I'm more than open to constructive criticism. I'm curious as to whether or not I sing with an American accent.



    On a slight tangent, I rarely use Xanga anymore, but when I do, I'm more inclined to update my other Xanga. Just so you all know.

  • so this Xanga doesn't cry of neglect

    I'm tired of:
    * strangers who consider it their civic duty to cure my acne (Yes, I have tried ProActive, leave me alone!)
    * school

    I am listening to:
    * "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" - Chanticleer

    Maybe I should:
    * do my homework
    * e-mail this guy about getting together to study this weekend
    * sign up for winter housing

    I wish:
    * I were prettier (just being honest here)
    * I could get my baccalaureate at West Valley

    Chocolate is:
    * awesome =)

    I have lost my respect for:
    * California. Long before Prop 8, though the no campaign around here was so juvenile and disrespectful in their approach it's really no wonder it passed. I was almost pissed off enough by the things people said and did to vote yes. For a state that claims to be so progressive/tolerant/different, it's amazing how everybody who's anybody looks the same and thinks the same.

    I last ate:
    * a Chunky Strawberry from Jamba Juice.

    The meaning of my display name is:
    * Nataho = my nickname in high school

    ;P

    Someday:
    * "we'll walk the stre-eeets together!"
    * "we'll walk hand in hand toge-ether!"
    * I'll be able to go one day without randomly breaking out into song. But that day is not today.

    I will always remember:
    * her words at his funeral. "How can I make peace in the world if I can't make peace with my own family?"

    Love is:
    * patient
    * kind
    * a many splendored thing
    * all you need

    MySpace is:
    * pedophile paradise.
    * better than YourSpace. Oh, BURNNNN!!

    Today:
    * I lost my virginity to a married man.
    * I set fire to my eyebrows.
    * I lied two times in a row on a survey.

    Tomorrow:
    * there is a full moon, says my calendar.
    * I have music practice for Sunday morning mass.

  • Whatever happened to old-school Xanga?

    I just skimmed through some old school entries of Xanga in its heyday about 3-4 years ago, when all of the cool people updated regularly, and when everybody had bad music in the background. In a weird way, I miss having marching band drama. I miss saying hello to a bunch of strangers and then eventually meeting them, or at least getting cool snail mail from them. I miss making community blogs as a tribute to stoner bus drivers from Disneyland trips or even just to our lame high school. Later on today, I swear I'm gonna try to log in to WHSSHIT and post for the first time this year, assuming the password hasn't changed. But yeah, I miss my kickass themed layouts. *lesigh*

  • Name A Band/Artist/Album/Song that.....

    You want to get married to:
    The chorus of Dahil Sa Iyo 2-3 times, sung by a Piolo Pascual-esque Filipino crooner boy. This is the plan if I end up marrying a sexy Tagalog-speaking Pinoy who will appreciate my song choice, but I shall leave that in God's hands.

    Reminds you of an ex-lover:
    "More Than Melody" by Anna Nalick

    You'd like to make love to:
    Etta James' Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday album
    She picks all of Miss Holiday's more sultry songs and makes them even more risque.

    You'd like to dance to:
    So I'll let you all in on a little secret - I am a slow-dance virgin. I have never dated the type to randomly take me dancing. The one dance I attended in my entire life back in middle school, I was SO not going to touch a boy. That said, I think Bette Midler's "Do You Wanna Dance" would make a great first dance song.

    Means more to you than you can express:
    "In paradisum"
    I sang the English translation as a solo at one of the most powerful, life-changing funerals I have ever been to. I couldn't find the name of the composer on Google, but I did find the lyrics in both English and Latin:

    In paradisum deducant te angeli:
    in tuo adventu suscipant te martyres,
    et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.
    Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lzaro
    quondam paupere aeternam habeas reqiuem.

    May angels guide you and bring you into Paradise:
    and may all the martyrs come forth to welcome you home,
    and may they lead you into the Holy City Jerusalem.
    May the choirs of angels sing to welcome you, and like Lazarus
    forgotten and poor, you shall have everlasting rest.

    Makes you sad:
    "Passage" by Vienna Teng

    Makes you laugh:
    "You Rascal You" by Louis Armstrong

    Makes you smile:
    "At The Beginning" from the Anastasia soundtrack. It's kind of old, but from it still can be heard in the background at restaurants or retail stores from time to time, and each time, I never fail to (1) notice, (2) sing along, (3) think "EEEE! It's that song from Anastasia!!"

    Sums up your teenage years:
    Hanson, definitely. Not only because I loved them like whoa! in middle school, but because I feel that my teen years are comparable to Hanson's growth as a band. At surface level, people hear the name Hanson immediately think "MMMBop" - annoying, girly voices, girly appearances, no real lyrics, yada yada. Listen beyond MMMBop, and there is a lot more substance. Tying back to me, I was a lot more complex and a lot cooler than I let on in middle and high school.

    Makes you horny:
    "Temptation" by Diana Krall

    Perks you up:
    "Ven conmigo (solamente tú)" by Christina Aguilera. "Come On Over" in Spanish makes me happier for some reason.

    Found this survey on my Xanga way back to the strange entries of senior year, and figured I'd revive it in an attempt to get me updating again.
