LOVE THIS WAY

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

Everyone of us needs to love and be loved. Abraham Maslow believes that, the need for Belongingness and Love have to well-satisfied first, before the individual could reach the higher need for Self-Actualization. This is what this song is all about.This is also about needing or missing somebody whom you want to touch and to feel the passion once again, but, sad to say he/she’s not there.

This song is by the group called The Eden’s Crush. The lead vocals of this song is Nicole Scherzinger, who is of Hawaiian-Russian- Filipino descent and who’s also now in the girl group called The Pussycat Dolls. Here’s their brief bio.

Los Angeles based female teen pop quintet Eden’s Crush was formed after its members auditioned for the reality series Popstars, broadcasted by the WB Network. The vocal act’s debut album, also titled Popstars, was released by London-Sire Records in 2001, produced by David Foster and Matthew Gerrard, and featured a Spanish version of "1000 Words," plus a cover of Sheila E.’s "Glamorous Life." Eden’s Crush became the first female group to debut at number one on the sales chart with their first single, "Get Over Yourself." Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide.

Love This Way

By : Eden’s Crush

I wanna run into someones arms
Lie on a bed of roses
I wanna feel just like juliet
I wanna fall in love
I’ve got a feeling

Everybody wants someone to love
Somebody they can trust
Somebody they can touch
Everybody wants to give their heart away
Everybody needs a little tenderness
To feel understood
To feel passionate
Everybody wants to be in love this way
Everybody wants to be in love this way
I know I do what about you

I wanna be somebody’s baby
I want to cry and still feel beautiful
Maybe I really just wanna be myself
I’m not the only one
I got a feeling

Everybody wants someonne to love
Somebody they can trust
Somebody they can touch
Everybody wants to give their heart away
Everybody needs a little tenderness

To feel understood
To feel passionate
Everybody wants to be in love this way
Everybody wants to be in love this way
I know I do
What about you
I do I do doesn’t everybody wanna give their heart away
I do I do dosen’t everybody wanna be in love this way
Cause I do

I wanna feel like an angel
I want to fly on a beam of moonlight
I wanna see heaven from the inside
I wanna feel just like juliet

I LOVE YOU

By : Debelah Morgan

I love you
Wherever you are
It don’t matter
It don’t matter how far
Cause I love you
I’ll do anything for your love
I’ll do anything for your love

Every time I close my eyes I look inside myself
When I see you standing there I see love
Love the most precious gift of them all
I really love him so
I’ll never let him go
He’s always in my heart

I love you
Wherever you are
It don’t matter
It don’t matter how far
Cause I love you
I’ll do anything for your love
I’ll do anything for your love

All my friends think I’m crazy (crazy)
But the more love I give
The more secure I feel in your arms
Love, love, gets me high
I really love him so
I’ll never let him go
He’s always in my heart

I love you
Wherever you are
It don’t matter
It don’t matter how far
Cause I love you
I’ll do anything for your love
I’ll do anything for your love

Please understand how I feel
I got a love that’s so real my baby
I feel it deep in my heart
No one and nothing will ever tear us apart

I love you
Wherever you are
It don’t matter
It don’t matter how far
Cause I love you
I’ll do anything for your love
I’ll do anything for your love

CLOSE TO YOU

By : Debelah Morgan

(Chorus)
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be by your side
If only for just one night

I wanna be close to you
I wanna be in your sight
I’ll do anything you want me to
If you let me be close to you

(Verse 1)
You made me fall in love again
I swore I’d never let anyone in
But when I’m close to you I feel so alive
You awaken a part of me I thought had died

I see your face inside the moon
And everything reminds me of you
The wind never stops whispering your name
Now that I’ve met you I will never be the same

Now that I’ve found you
I will never let you go
Every second every hour
Of the day if I had my way
I’d wanna spend it close to you

Chorus

(Verse 2)
I promise you that we’ll never fight
And we’ll make love all night
You won’t have a care coz I’ll always be there
To hold you and protect you from whatever’s out there

The stars in the sky smile as we walk by
Love is in the air never thought I would share
A love that’s unreal that’s how you make me feel
I sent my heart out to sea but you rescued me

Now that I’ve found you
I will never let you go
Every second every hour
Of the day if I had my way
I’d wanna spend it close to you

Chorus

(Bridge)
Every night when I’m dreaming
I wanna dream about you
And every morning when I wake up
I wanna wake up right next to you
And if I couldn’t go on living
And I had just one night
I’d wanna spend it close to my baby
Coz you make everything alright

Chorus

WHAT A DAY!

Monday, July 24th, 2006

I felt so down today. I needed somebody to hear me out but I guess, i’m already a BURDEN. It’s just so frustrating to reach out to people, to ask apology and to express to them how much they mean to us but still it’s not yet enough,…I know we don’t deserve to be treated like this. I guess we can’t hold on to this anymore…I felt okay when i got home but then again the feeling of being desperate came back…Huh! what a day!

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006
  • Written by Marvin Hamlisch & Carole Bayer Sager
  • Originally performed by Melissa Manchester (born

    2/15/51

    in the Bronx New York)

  • Used as the Theme from the movie "Ice Castles" in 1980

I first noticed this song during our Press Presentation of Ms. Cebu Candidates 2000 at the Waterfront Hotel, Lahug. It has been a staple as a dance song and a serenade for weddings for more than 20 years now.

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

by : Melissa Manchester

Please, don’t let this feeling end
It’s everything I am,
Everything I want to be.
I can see what’s mine now,
Finding out what’s true,
Since I’ve found you…
Looking through the eyes of love.

Now I can take the time,
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now.
Reaching’ out to touch you,
I can feel so much,
Since I’ve found you…
Looking’ through the eyes of love.

And now, I do believe,
That even in a storm, we’ll find some light.
Knowing’ you’re beside me, I’m alright.

Please don’t let this feelin end,
It might not come again;
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you;
How I feel so much,
Since I’ve found you…
Looking’ through the eyes of love.

Reaching out to touch you,
I can feel so much,
Since I’ve found you…
Looking’ through the eyes of love.

THE CORRS

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

Comprising three sisters and one brother of the Corr family — vocalist Andrea, drummer Caroline, violinist Sharon and guitarist/keyboard player Jim — the Corrs blend the music of their Irish background with contemporary pop/rock and occasional use of synthesizers. The quartet formed in 1991, and was confined to regional popularity in Ireland until 1994, when the American ambassador to the country invited the Corrs to perform at the 1994 World Cup in Boston.

RUNAWAY

Say it’s true, there’s nothing like me and you
I’m not alone, tell me you feel it too

And I would run away
I would run away, yeah…, yeah

And by candlelight, make love to me through the night
(through the night, through the night…)

Cause I have run away

SUMMER SUNSHINE

By : The Corrs

Everyone’s changing, I stay the same
I’m… a solo cello outside a chor-us
I’ve got a secret,
It’s time for me to tell that you’ve been keeping me warm

Just sweet beginnings and bitter en-dings
In coffee city, we borrowed hea-ven
Don’t give it back, I’ve never felt so wanted
Are you taking me home?

You tell me you have to go…

[:]
In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

Now that you’ve left me, there’s no retur-ning
I keep comparing, you’re always win-ning
I try to be strong but you’ll never be more wanted
Will you make me at home?

Don’t tell me you have to go…

[Chorus:]
In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

Ya da… ya da… ya da

To sweet beginnings and bitter en-dings
In coffee city, we borrowed hea-ven
Don’t give it back
Winter is coming and I need to stay warm

The heat…..

[Chorus:]
In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody knows

[Chorus:]
In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

BREATHLESS

BY : The CORRS

Go on, go on, leave me breathless
Come on…

The daylight’s fading slowly
but time with you is standing still
I’m waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I’ll feel weak

I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
I’m losing the will to try
Can’t hide it (can’t hide it)
Can’t fight it (can’t fight it)
So…

Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me until I can’t deny this
loving feeling, make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah, come on…

And if there’s no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I’m happy just to have you
You’re all the love I need somehow

It’s like a dream
Although I’m not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don’t lose it (don’t lose it)
Don’t leave me (don’t leave me)

Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me until I can’t deny this
loving feeling, make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah, come on…

And I can’t lie
From you I cannot hide
I’ve lost my will to try
Can’t hide it (can’t hide it)
Can’t fight it (can’t fight it)
So…

Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me until I can’t deny this
loving feeling, make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah, come on…

Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless (leave me breathless)
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless (leave me breathless)
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless (leave me breathless)
Go on, go on

JEALOUSY : The Positive Way of Handling It

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

Jealous according to Webster’s New World Dictionary means:

  • Very watchful or careful in guarding or keeping.
  • Resentfully suspicious of a rival or a rival’s influence

Jealousy is a fear of losing your partner to someone else.

Jealousy is one of the many emotions that we can experience in an intimate relationship.

A little jealousy can be good for a relationship. We tend to interpret this emotion as love and it can keep us from taking each other for granted.

He can be jealous if he feels his partner honors or respects another man over him. If she admires another man’s strengths instead of acknowledging that her own partner has such strengths, then that may cause him to be jealous.

She can be jealous if he spends time with coworkers, secretaries or the like including having lunch or dinner with the opposite sex. Women tend to not trust the "other woman" more than not trusting her man.

Jealousy can hurt a relationship if it becomes an obsession in which you do not trust your partner and feel that you have to watch their every move. Questioning them constantly about where they have been and who they have been with. Insinuating that they have done something wrong or have cheated. Calling them several times a day, having them carry a beeper, cell phone or the like so you can be in contact with them many times a day. Making assumptions that they are cheating can hurt the relationship.

What can you do if you are feeling jealous in a relationship?

1. Couples can admit to being jealous.

2. Sit and talk about how they feel and point out the times that they feel most vulnerable.

3. Point out to the partner what behavior you are having problems with and then negotiate a way to deal with the problem.

4. Validate your partner’s feelings. Don’t say "you shouldn’t be jealous" or "don’t’ you trust me". Accept your partner’s feelings, respect them and then try to find a way to help avoid doing things that may trigger those feelings. Everyone has a right to their own feelings. They are not wrong for feeling a certain way and most of us just want validation and understanding for having those feelings. We all want to be understood and accepted.

5. If you really love and respect your partner then you will make adjustments to your behaviors that may be contributing to causing your partner to feel jealous. For example: If you always flirt with the waitress when you are out together for a meal or drink and your partner feels uncomfortable with you doing this, then don’t try to justify it by saying "I’m a big flirt, or you know I like to flirt". Instead be aware of your behavior and make adjustments so your partner won’t feel uncomfortable.

I  suggest you come up with a code word that only the two of you know about and when one of you is doing something that makes the other one feel uncomfortable or jealous then just say the code word so your partner can take action and refrain from that behavior. this "code word" will save a lot of arguing and problems if it is used and responded to immediately. You can later discuss what has happened in the privacy of your own home where no one else can hear your discussion.

TATTOED ON MY MIND

Tattoed On My Mind

By : D’Sound

Maybe you’ll soon forget about all
or maybe you’ll miss it like I do

one thing’s for sure:
I’m all knocked out
spend too much time thinking of you

And I can’t get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you’re the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
And I can’t get you out of my dreams

Don’t wanna write, I don’t wanna call,
- I would not know what to say
It should be you, that’s how I want it to be
Tell me you feel the same way

And I can’t get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you’re the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
and I can’t get you out of my dreams

Oh, yesterday I was feeling safe
All I do today is trying to be brave
And no melody can seem to soothe my mind
And now I curse you for being so sweet and so kind

And I can’t get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you’re the dangerous kind
and your face is tattooed on my mind
And I can’t get you out of my dreams

Yes I know you’re tatooed on my mind you’re tattooed…

WHY MAKE HER LAUGH?

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

Some guys look at women’s laughter as a "by-product" of a healthy, promising conversation. To them, laughter is JUST something good to have, and they can perfectly live without it.

But that fact is… Laughter alone can make women fall in love with you. The more she laughs, the better your chance. If you can keep her laughing her head off, you’re "almost there". Conversely, if you want to make a woman fall in love with you, you have to be able to make her laugh.

Laughter is not merely "good to have". It’s pretty much all you need. If you really want to attract women easily and quickly, you must be able to make her laugh at any time, any place, and any way you want.

But the sad truth is

… Not many of us can really claim to be funny.

Sure, all of us can crack a joke or two. Sometimes we can be quite funny for a whole night. But can you do it time after time, night after night? Are you able to systematically and carefully construct "humor messages" to suit different women’s tastes? Do you know the secrets that will make humor a natural part of you so that it’s effortless to stay humorous and charming?

You know what? The ability to make any woman laugh and fall in love is inside each of us. Even if your answer to any of those questions is not a confident "YES", you can choose to reclaim your power of humor. You can stop being boring, or average, once and for all.

IS IT LOVE OR OBSESSION ?

Monday, July 10th, 2006

The word, "obsess" (or "to be obsessed") is defined by Concise Oxford Dictionary as "preoccupy continually or to a troubling extent". Obsession can be for a person or thing or act. It is a psychological condition that in its extreme form needs medical attention. The person affected by an obsession desires the object of his obsession with enormous passion, ferocity and even madness. When the object of obsession is a person of opposite sex, there is a tendency to confuse the obsession with love. However, there is a fundamental difference between love and obsession.

Love is focused and centered on the needs of the beloved. Obsession, in contrast, is self-centered. The obsessed is always focused on his (or her) own desires and the object of obsession is incidental. Love treats the beloved as a human being and in extreme cases lovers treat love and beloved as divine. For the obsessed the centre of his attention is an object with no desires, no life independent of the intense desire that the obsessed has for the object. He (or she) is almost like a child who is mad for a toy and will take the toy with him (or her) to bed, to garden, and even to the toilet. But if one day the toy hurts the child, there is immediate rejection. The child is now looking for a new toy while the old one is thrown mercilessly into the dustbin.

Obsession is, unlike love, not just passionate; it is ferocious and cruel. The pathos of cruelty that an obsessed displays can be seen in an innocent form in the craving that a child has for a favorite toy. Take the favorite toy away and the child will cry for days and may even stop eating food. The child can be cruel to himself in such a situation. The same cruelty may turn outwards to the toy when the toy is no longer the favorite one. An adult, who expresses obsession in terms of erotic love, is even more dangerous. He (or she) may go to any extent to get the object of his (or her) desire and may even turn violent if the object is taken away. Intensity of such passion is destructive in case of any denial; the obsessed one either destroys oneself or destroys the object of obsession. Newspapers are full of stories of some young boy or girl committing suicide after being turned down. One also hears stories of some boy killing or throwing acid on the face of his girl friend after knowing that she is getting married to someone else.

Violence at denial is only one facet of obsession. The other facet of violence manifests when the obsessed gets hold of and becomes the owner of the object of his desire. No, they do not live happily thereafter. The relationship of the obsessed one with the object of obsession is not a relationship of caring. It is a relationship of power, a display of brutishness, a game of ego. The ownership has to be absolute, to the exclusion of everyone else, and the obsessed needs to demonstrate it every moment to get any pleasure from it. One is not concerned if this stifles or even hurts the object of obsession. Too bad, if it does. The case is typical of a child who sees a beautiful singing bird in the garden, gets hold of it and puts it in a glass jar besides his table, without any concern for the life of the bird. By the end of the day the bird is dead and the child is back in the garden looking for a fresh bird.

Surely, it is very difficult to distinguish between love and obsession during the initial stages of a relationship. But some telltale signs should not be ignored. Let us say that a girl has to decide whether her boy friend is treating her as an object of obsession or as his beloved. Some of the questions that she must ask herself are as follows:

  • Does he accept me as I am or does he want me to make some changes to my appearance or dress or hairstyle or even my career?

  • How does he react to my friends, relatives, family members, colleagues and acquaintances? Do all these appear as pests to him and he wishes to have me all by himself or does he genuinely enjoy meeting everyone who is dear and near to me?

  • How does he handle disagreement with me? Does he get disturbed when I have an independent opinion or does he welcome it?

  • In a public place or when introducing to friends or relatives, does he show me off as if I am a trophy that he has won?

  • Does he want to be with me at all times (either physically or by telephone) so much so that I find myself getting cut off even from my family? Does his continuous preoccupation with me has started affecting adversely his or my job and normal life routines?

  • Would he still care for me if I denied to him what he craves for most? (This may be sex or may be something else) One may also ask the question, would he love me even if due to some reasons beyond my control, I cannot meet him or talk to him for one year?

  • Are his expressions of passion interspersed with occasional threats of termination of relationship?

  • Last but not the least, how do I feel when I am with him? Do I feel strong, comfortable and relaxed? Or do I feel weak, tensed up, on my toes, centre of attention but not relaxed?

The above questions have been written in first person as if a woman is thinking about a man. They will not change much if a man has to ask similar questions about a woman. In either case, being an object of obsession is painful and more often than not tragic.

Confusing obsession with caring selfless love and becoming an object of obsession amounts to stepping unwittingly into the greatest tragedy of one’s life. It is like drinking poison when one wants to drink milk.

It may be too late to do anything about the lives that have already been ruined. But, there may be many other cases where it may not be too late. Caution against falling into a trap of obsession is necessary because obsession ruins both - the obsessed as well as the object of obsession. Moreover, it gives love a bad name. Let us spread love that is truly divine and gives freedom. Let us be on guard against the pathos of obsession that stifles and chokes.
