Lighthearted

72

Category : musings

This morning, the first thing I realized upon boarding the jeepney that would take Bong and me to Alabang and to work, was that you know you are already late when your commute-mates are no longer familiar to you.

Haha. Yep, I was late again because the little girl, Cassie, didn’t want to be left with our temporary ate, Ate Michelle (she was the first ate who took care of Cassie when she was only 1 month old, and left before she turned one to pursue her boyfriend. She just came back temporarily until we get two new angels who would take care of Jeremy and Cassie)

Anyhoo, just as the jeepney was leaving the terminal, there were two passengers, loudmouths, if I may say, who boarded the jeepney. Knowing the looming disturbance, I decided to put on my earphones and listen to music. Luckily, The CompanY’s Lighthearted album is loaded in my phone and so I listened to it. But I was just so engrossed at listening to the music blaring from my earphones that I didn’t get the chance to sleep during the commute. The album title says it all, you would really feel lighthearted when you listen to all the songs in that album. And I would go as far as saying that this is one of The CompanY’s best, if not the best, album ever.

Ok, so why did I say this? Because while listening to the songs, I couldn’t help but smile to myself and say that it’s indeed a wonderful day even when I knew that I would be 30 minutes late for work. I also remembered it’s my boss’ birthday, and I wanted to text her my greetings and wishes of a wonderful day even if I have already greeted her yesterday with a kiss (as she’s on birthday leave today)—to think we’re not exactly the best of friends…if you know what I mean. Oh, we get along, especially now that she has mellowed down a lot, but still, she’s the boss, and I am the lowly employee. Heehee.

And then it came to the song “Fifteen.” Yep, that Taylor Swift song (Idk, but I love Taylor Swift) which Cecile Bautista Reynoso sings with her daughter Chile…It kinda made me teary eyed. They rendered it in such a way that it’s like the mom telling her daughter what happens when she’s fifteen. And I felt it was another song I would sing to Ate Kara, just as the song “Slipping through my fingers” of Abba and sung in the movie Mamma Mia is the song I would probably sing when Kara gets married someday. Oh, Lighthearted, you have made me wax poetic about such things I would not normally think about when I commute to work.

But that’s really The CompanY for you. They’re such great singers whose renditions of other singers’ songs are even much better than the original. Ok, ok, I am biased. But I guess it also comes from the fact that this group, who I adore so much, also adores its fans as much as the fans adore them. Hindi sila mayabang at ma-ere considering they’ve been around for a long time. In fact, they’re celebrating their 25th year in show business this year with a concert at the Music Museum on October 16 and 30. Now that’s another show we won’t miss for the world. I have seen them perform a couple of times already and I guess I still can’t get enough of them.

Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, this is not a paid advert. But if they happen to read this and decide to give me 5 free tickets to their show, then that would just be perfect. Dance  Clap  Jump

base kami ni mam kuhrach!

whoa! ang bilis naman, Pong! kaloka. hahaha!

light moments muna
1. lappy ng karoom ko ang gamit ko nung iload ko ang page na ito wala pang koment nataranta ako para makabase.
2. dapat ang isusulat ko ay “base kami ni mam kuhrach sa lightered” buti nalang hindi kasi baka maulit ang torotan instead of tarotan kay ate salbe, ehehehe safe na din ang base kami ni mam kuhrach.
3. muntik pang mag freeze ang lappy dahil sa ilang click ang ginawa ko para makapasok sa post na “lighthearted”
 
Seryoso na ate kaye;
Focus sa music, siguro dahil part ng buhay natin ang musika, i mean lahat ng creations ay capable na magproduce nito kumbaga kapag may music nanunuot sa kalamnan. At lalo na sa title palang ay may uplifting factors na. Mahilig din ako sa music pero walang hilig sa akin ahahaha.
Inclined kayong dalawa ni kuya bong sa music and maganda ito lalo na ang music of love niyo.
Yehey may motherhood na naman at homesick na naman yata ako. Hindi ako masyadong familiar sa mga songs ng The Company pero pwede mo akong padalhan ng copy eheheheh.
Yung traffic naman at pagiging late normal na sa music na ng buhay siguro sa bansa natin iyan kahit dito. Ang mahalaga i found your submission sa authority like sa boss mo maganda yun. yehey.
 
shaks late na ako ate kaye maiiwan na ako sa bus nito. balikan ko ito pag nasa opis na.
Music is aroma to us lalo na kay Lord, pleasing aroma.
 
Be blessed ate kaye. salamat sa hugs

naku sana di ka naiwan ng bus mo, pong. hahaha!

I suggest you listen to their songs. I was surprised to find out that a lot here are not familiar with them. The songs in Lighthearted are quite new, kaya sobrang enjoy ko.

at shempre natawa ako sa nangyari pagbase mo. buti at walang torotan na nangyari this time. hahahaha! Laugh

hindi naman ako nalate ate kaye 3 kaming huling sumakay yahey.

naalala ko sila, di ba isa sa member nung group ay naging teacher sa loob ng Pinoy Dream Academy ng Channel 2?

25 years na sila? edi 1 yo palang ako nung nabuo group nila? eheheh ulit.
 madalas ko din silang mapanood sa Sharon dati.
magd-DL din ako ate kaye para mapakinggan ko ang lighthearted.
 
oo nga buti hindi sumablay kagay ng torotan.

the company ung artist ate Kaye?
teka search me ng songs nila.

yep, The CompanY po. ang galing nila ha…hope you get to listen to their songs Smile

sila ang gumawa at nagperform ng songs such as Everlasting Love, Muntik na kitang minahal, Pakisabi na lang, etc. Big Smile

Asa ka Kaye? Na may magbibigay sa iyo ng 5 ticket para sa show ng The CompanY? Nananalig ka talaga?
 
Ahem, pwede mo ba akong idamay? Sabihin mo 6 na ticket na. Tawad isa. Hehe

Ganyan ba talaga dapat ang pagkakasulat ng The CompanY? Capital Y? O ginaya mo lang yung nasa post ni MommY? Haha.

hehe, yes, Vaj, that’s how The CompanY is written. Smile

make that 7! hoho.
Laugh

oo sows, pag may nagbigay, isasama kita. hahaha! pero kung walang magbigay, nood tayo ng concert ng The CompanY. I guarantee that you won’t regret ever watching them, you’ll even crave for more. si ate kara ko nga, nagenjoy talaga eh. magaling silang mga singers and performers.

hahahaa! malay mo, may magmilagro? hahahah

but we will definitely watch the concert. again. di talaga ako nagsasawa sa performance nila…at pag may nagbigay ng free tickets, idadamay ko kayo ni sows. hahaha! Grin

matalino si Cassie dahil naintindihan nyang maipagkakatiwala mo sya sa bagong mag-aalaga sa kanya,  eh ibang batang kaedaran nya halos 3 araw na ayaw pa magpaiwan.
gusto ko lang sabihin ate Kaye na bale wala ung half hour na nalate kayo ni kuya Bong dahil naenjoy mo ung music ng the company.
nisearch ko na yan pero ala ako madl ng free. hays!

nga pala kaiba ang the company dahil narinig ko ung lighthearted at di uso ang sapawan ng boses sa kanila, disiplinadong grupo.

Yes! that’s precisely why I love love love them. All of them are truly wonderful singers, yet, they don’t try to outdo each other. even during their live performances, you will see how one individual is a part of the whole. All of them, Moy Ortiz, Annie, Sweet, Ces and Jay are great singers.

teka, pano mo narinig ang Lighthearted? sana makapunta sila at magperform diyan, ading. Big Smile

nisearch ko kanina sa utube at un napili ko.
hahanapin ko ung everlasting love at muntik na kitang minahal and tenks ate Kaye.
sino kayang mapagmahal ang maari magbigay saken ng mga songs na yan…….

ay! buti na lang at meron ka na nakita…ang galing diba? video ba yan?

kala ko ba ako lang love mo?!? wala lang nag-iinarte lang po! hahahah! Laugh

love nga kita…napatunayan naman kaninang umaga ah…

ganon! wala nag-iinarte lang ulit.

bale wala talaga ang pagkalate kasi di ko naramdaman ang inip. maganda ang pinakikinggan ko kanina eh. hehehe…

Ate Kaye meron na ako everlasting love at muntik na kitang minahal…sweet.
eto kasalukuyan pinapakinggan na.

di ba very very nice? Smile i’m glad you’re enjoying their music, too. classic ang pinoy talents, di ba?

Mommy, akala ko si Shea ang temporary Ate? Haha. Nakakatuwa naman ang tawag nyo. Haha.

Naalala ko bigla yung kasambahay namen nung elementary ako, iniwan akong magisa sa bahay. Pinabili ko lang ng chips, gabe na nun, di na bumalik. 10 years old lang ata ako non wala akong kasama sa bahay. Kinabukasan, nagpaalam samen, dun na raw sya titira sa karpintero namen. ABA! Hahaha.

Hindi ako fan ng The Company dahil di ako familiar sa music nila. Pero fan ako ng Mamma Mia! dahil nakakaaliw ang numbers nila! At naiyak ako dyan sa Slipping Through my Fingers. Frown

Grin hehe we call our kasambahay/yaya, ate. I don’t know, but i have reservations about calling them katulong or even the more dignified yaya. I prefer to call them ate kasi parang kapamilya sila who just happen to take care of our babies. and when I call them ate, i want them to feel that they’re not there to just take care of the kids, but to be like family para di rin mahirap for them to really love the kids.

kawawa ka naman pala at ipinagpalit ni ate sa karpintero. that’s actually the danger with the young ones. lalo ngayon. isang text lang, magboypren na. isang beses lang mayaya, sama na agad…

You don’t know Everlasting love, muntik na kitang minahal, Pakisabi na lang, Now that I have you… lahat yan mga kantang ginawa at pinasikat nila… Moy Ortiz and Sweet Plantado also used to be the Pinoy Dream Academy mentors, remember?

ay…ang mamma mia… it’s one movie that affected me much. isa ang OST niyan sa pinakapaborito ko. hehehe

momi kaye iniba mo usapan.. kung temporary ate pwede ako dyan… sabi naman sayo negotiable naman ang TF ko.. at pwede mo pa ako pa psych kay vajee para sure ka.. nyahaha…

hahaha! but what we need are permanent yayas…ayoko na ng papalit palit. hay. hirap. pero kiniclaim ko na, na magkakaron kami ng dalawang bagong angels who will take care of the little ones… Smile

nosebleed na nga ako sa entry mo di pa ako maka relate sa mga songs ROTFL

This morning, the first thing I realized upon boarding the jeepney that would take Bong and me to Alabang and to work, was that you know you are already late when your commute-mates are no longer familiar to you.

>>> ganyan din ako ate hahaha. Lagi ko check ung mga busmate ko if andun. Unang-una baka mali ung bus na nasakyan ko at 2nd maaga ba ako o late. ROTFL

Blessed day ate..

Liz naman eh…bakit nosebleed? what’s hard to understand? ikaw talaga, halika, hug kita dito!!! Hug Left Hug Right

di ba, parang feeling lost ka pag iba na ang kasabay mo? hehehe, pero nakaktawa kasi pagkakita pa lang ni bong dun sa dalawang maingay, napasabi na agad siya ng naku, ayan na ang mga maiingay. kaya ako, napahanda agad ng earphones. pero luckily, di sila maingay kanina, maybe because magkaiba sila ng inupuan tas wala ata sa mood makipagusap yung isa. hahaah! i remember their faces also kasi ilang beses na namin silang nakasabay ni bong eh.

blessed day to you, too, Liz.  Kiss

ate ako may dalawa ding babae na laging kasabay na maingay. mabuti na lang di na ako maaga pumasok now kaya di ko na sila nakakasabay. 

penge copy ng album ng The Company Dance

Ay kantahan, kilala ko ang the CompanY pero hindi nila ako kilala, ang sabi ng katabi ko dito, pag daw kumakanta ito ay siya ay nakakatulog.
Pabeso-beso sa boss? Ewan lang.

hahaha next time i chance upon The CompanY, i’d tell them about this and the request for five free tickets wahahahhaaha… itutuloy…. Grin

hahaha! di ba ang galing galing nila talaga? i remember you telling me yourself… napanood mo sila sa album launch nila di ba?

ayun, sabit daw si salbe at sows so instead na 5, make it 7. hahahaha! Grin

Matagal na nga ata ung the CompanY. kaso hindi ako familiar sa music nila. ilang dekada na ba sila?
