Music Monday - Rico Suave By Gerardo

Ha-ha! Yeah, why oh why would I post this?! Just reminds me of my fondness of California/ LA / Bay Area suburbs. Been missing my folks there and the fun times of my adulthood. Yet with this music video, it's a WHAT?!? moment... my cousins would sure be teasing me about it and would say "hey, Chriss, we didn't know you're a fan of Gerardo!".. well actually I'm only with this vid, coz I found it funny then... in my pinoy translation thoughts "matapang ang apog nya" ... :)   I miss California,  I miss my...

Music Monday - I Wonder If I Take You Home

It's a song that I picked out of the blue and surely a far cry from what we usually choose for Music Monday. LisaLisa and the Cult Jam was a favorite during the 80's, and this song "I Wonder If I Take You Home" was often played on the airwaves. Personally, I just hear these on the radio when I ride on the Downtown loop jeepney after school hours :) I don't remember having those boom boxes then, oh yeah, sometimes...

Music Monday - Margarita

Beginning a great Monday! Song from the Salsa movie soundtrack of 1988 is my entry for this week. It's a movie starred in by Robby Rosa of Menudo fame, that's the reason why I watched it back then. I love this classic upbeat song, I hope you enjoy as well! Happy MM! Margarita The sun in her hair The tropical hymn The smell of the sea With her next to me  She's got the touch that I ache for so much My muchachita It's...

Music Monday - The Way You Look Tonight

Congratulations, Ms. KZ Tandingan! She won last night's X Factor Philippines Grand Finals! What a splendid season with her on X-Factor Philippines. Her songs are much-awaited every Saturday night by her huge number of followers, me included. She truly deserves to win and the Philippines celebrate with he...

Music Monday - Tayo'y Mag-Rock n Roll By Paola Luz

I'll be featuring two upbeat songs I used to play on our old German turntable, which was the only "stereo" I had back then in 1989. Because of that, I've been a collector of 45 rpm records since I learned to save up. Alas, because I've had a short attention span, I lost all of those 45 rpm records :( Thanks to Youtube for the availability!  This song reminds me so much of those evenings I would play one...

Music Monday - Meet Me Halfway

To be in love with love itself once made me truly happy in my heart, in my mind and I think it affected everything around me so much that all things went well.This was during the 80's - as you can guess by now I'm a huge fan - I love this song because it reminds me of a classmate in high school and all the memories that go with it of all our classmates. I can't say anything more, but it's kind of related to a popular...

Music Monday - Endless Love

var infolink_pid = 234941;var infolink_wsid = 1;Most memorable song, also much loved by most of my hopelessly romantic friends and a few nephews and nieces. :) The song is so touching, and makes me wishful indeed.Endless Love was an old movie way back in the early 80's, which I was able to see during 1986 at a local moviehouse in our province. It's a movie that I watched 3 times that week, I guess. First, awed by Brooke...

Music Monday - Too Young

Can't say much why I'm sentimental with this. I need just a little push to get up each day despite an illness that seems to cling to me. Oh no, nothing major just a low resistance to infection I think. You know me, stubborn and won't go to a doctor. The thought of the blood pressure monitor scares me and drives me insane. But I'm well now, thanks to water therapy and music :)I'd like to share this other 1986 favorite...

Music Monday - With You All The Way

I'm combining this Music Monday post with my Chriss Retro favorites today. With You All The Way by The New Edition is one of my most-loved songs to listen to. I guess I know every word, every lyric and emotion that comes with it by now. It was rated a few times as most played song in the summer of '86 at our local radio station (hmm, now I remember 104.7 DWON as well). Great start this month of August, Happy...

Music Monday - Hesus by Aegis

Just came across this from Youtube and found out it was sung by Aegis Band. I thought this song was an ordinary Christian music, then I recall that a lady from our church sang it during intermission time. I loved listening to the song then and exclaimed, 'You sing just like Aegis band!" not knowing the lady is also from Aegis band's province. I like the message very much!Kung nag-iisa at nalulumbayDahil sa hirap mong...

Music Monday- In Christ Alone

This Christian song is one of my favorites and most memorable. I first heard it in 1993 and surely it brings good memories to our other churchmates. I searched and searched for this on Youtube, glad that I found it. (Courtesy goes to the upload...

Music Monday - Crush On You by The Jets

Time to go back to the 80's with no other than THE JETS!This song has quite a catchy tune, I don't think it was my fave during those times though. But hey, I am a big fan of THE JETS around my high school graduation in 1988. I love "Make It Real" and "Rocket 2 U" everytime. Wish talents like these would be back :)Happy MM!Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave ONLY the ACTUAL LINK...

Music Monday - I Go Crazy by Flesh For Lulu

Soundtrack from my favorite 80's John Hughes movie Some Kind Of Wonderful,I love love love this movie I wish I can get it on Netflix but for now I just watch the videos on Youtube. I've been watching movies from that genre lately out of sheer sentimentality. It still amuses me as it did at first, especially Watts and Keith's rescue by their motley crew of friends.Blogspot Blogs and Self-hosted Wordpress blog that allows...

Music Monday - Walk On By

After 23 years, when you 'fess up and say "Hey, did you know I once had a huge crush on you and you didn't even know I existed?" Talk about End of the World May 21st Confessions,I guess. This is just tiny newsfeed as confided to me by a friend on Facebook.Imagine the shock on that someone's face, or if it was you!Yes, it happened to my batchmates - twice - and in one day. One was face to face at a reunion,the other...
