Tonight I'm Gonna Dance For You...
One of the songs that catches my attention is Beyonce's "Dance for You". Same as my previous write-up for "Papi", this song is dedicated to men, from women, who pays tribute to all of the things they did because of love. Moreover, the up-beat tempo makes Beyonce dance and even more sensual to pay tribute for the man of his life. as per Beyonce; 'Dance for You' is about giving yourself fully to one person, it’s about
being able to lose control with the person you’re meant for. Both the
melody and the lyrics make it one of my most intimate songs. It was written by Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. I played this on my phone more and more times and i also play this when i am walking down the street.
Lyrics:
I just wanna...
Show you how much I appreciate you
Wanna show you how much I'm dedicated to you
Wanna show you how much I will forever be true
Wanna show you how much you got your girl feelin' good
Wanna show you how much, how much you're understood
Wanna show you how much, I value what you say
Not only are you loyal, you're patient with me bay
Wanna show you how much, I really care about yo heart
I wanna show ya how much, I hate being apart
Show ya, show ya, show ya til you're through with me
I wanna keep it how it is, so you can never say how it used to be
(Bridge)
Loving you is really all that's on my mind
And I can't help but to think about it day and night
I wanna make that body rock, sit back and watch
(Chorus)
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you (ohh ooh ohh ohhh)
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you (ohh ooh ohh ohhh)
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
I'll be rockin' on my babe rockin', rockin' on my babe
Swirlin' my babe Twirlin', swirlin' on my babe
Baby lemme put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody cuz
It's bout to go down
You'll never need 2, cuz I will be your number 1
Them other chicks are superficial
But I know you know I'm the one
That's why I'm all into you
Cuz I can recognize that you know that
That's why I'm backin' this thing back
Pop, poppin' this thing back
Drop-drop-drop-dropping this thing back
This is for the time, you gave me flowers
For the world, that is ours
For the mulah, for the power of love
I know I won't never ever eh-ever give you up
And I wanna say thank you in case I don't thank you enough
A woman in the street and the freak in the you know what
Sit back sit back it's the pre game show
Daddy you know what's up
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beyonce/dance_for_you.html ]
(Bridge)
Loving you is really all that's on my mind

Baby lemme put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody cuz

Imma take this time
To show you how much you mean to me
Cuz you all I need
No money can emphasize or describe
The love that's in between the lines
Boy look into my eyes
While I'm grinding on you
This is beyond sex
I'm high on you
If it's real then you know how I feel
Rockin on you babe
Rockin rockin on you babe
Swirlin on you babe
In my mind all I can think about
Is a frame for our futures
And the pictures of the past
And a chance to make this love last
(Chorus)
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you (ohh ooh ohh ohhh)
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you (ohh ooh ohh ohhh)
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body

Drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it for you baby
Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch me throw it baby
Wanna make that body rock, sit back and watch
Watch me pop it, pop it, pop-pop-pop-pop it for you baby
Drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it for you baby
Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch me throw it baby
Wanna make that body rock, sit back and watch
These lyrics defined on how Beyonce wanted to give for his man. She said that she wanted to have a classic touch but more on giving pleasure by dancing, waving her hair and seducing his man. It was clear to the video that these lyrics were going to be bigger than how she sings it. Everybody knows on how she perfectly move her body on every beat of the music. the video was shot on a black and white, New York office style, which his man is watching her dance and as Beyonce seduces him. Beyonce co-directed the video and it was evident that the lyrics matched the music video, altogether with the dance moves.
I will give this song a 5 out of 5 stars. I was not surprised with the dance moves and totally, Beyonce is the only one that can do this kind of act. She owned every element of this song has. From the lyrics, to the melody, to the video, the sultry dance moves and the seduction. Over-all, it was a good touch of modern times, mixed with the upbeat tempo and the classic look of the music video.

"Move your body, dance with your Papi..."
Recently, I used to play Jennifer Lopez's "Papi", which serves as my background music from the time i step out of our house and as i sit on my work station. I am fond of playing several songs in the past, but this one catches my attention for the month of January, 2012. The song is about a giving happiness, pleasure and love (definitely) to someone you made special.I discovered this song from one of my friends. They are playing it while we are resting on their cozy house and I was impressed with the catchy sound and beat it has.
The lines "I'm good as long as he's around..." means that as long as he/she knows that their special someone is around, it will be more special than any other day. Lyrics also mentioned "I do my best to make him proud..." states that everything she/he does, everything and anything, it will bring pride to her/his partner. These lines made up the first stanza and made me think that this song is perfect for all lovers out there. As per J.Lo (short term for Jennifer Lopez), she calls her loved one as "Papi".
The Music Video of this song is more impressive. Directed by Paul Hunter, the same guy behind J.Lo's "If You Had My Love" (1999) and "Love Don't Cost a Thing" (2001). The video started when she is asking Lisa, the lady in-charged of the mails, about her letters. They converesed until Lisa offered a fortune cookie which will bring the guy back to J.Lo, since they are apart from some work issued on the guy's side. J.Lo bites the cookie with a little large part, making Lisa worried since she mentioned that it needed her only to bite a small amount. On the next day, J.Lo went out and started the magic which the cookie has. As she walks, guys from all over the place surrounded her, admiring her for just a simple grace. She dances in the middle of the situation and as it ended, the huge crowd of guys joined her in dancing and she was rescued by Papi, wearing like a general, military suit and saves her as the pool of guys turned loco with Ms. Lopez.

Rating this song from 1-5, I am giving it a 4. Why? The melody, the beat and the totality of the song is much appreciated. But as I observed, first is it sounded like one of the songs from Kat De Luna's "Whine Up" and I thought of the same thing happened way back, that J.Lo is known of stealing materials from other artists. Second, The dance moves that she showcased is not the same J.Lo that i was expecting before. She just showed a little and focused more on the thought of the video that she was chased and being admired. Lastly, i was saddened with this link: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=121165. You may check it and see how it goes.

A little thing called LOVE, FRIENDSHIP and BONDINGS
11:33 AM 1/9/2012
Friday shift - the last shift of the week. We used to go straight home and just relax or dine in the Urban Cafeteria near our office. But this time, it was different.
After everyone had finished their chores, logged out and went down to the elevator, we decided to eat. Me, Mother Monster (Vanessa Ladaban), Kaye Brosas (Kristine Camille Selbijan), Selena Gomez (Joy Marie Limbo), Bunso (Ruby Line Nayga) hurriedly went on to the food place and dine. I was counting them and then Mother Monstaer said, "hintayin natin si Vans...". So we chose our food and savor its home-filled taste. We noticed that Mother Monster's viand and she said, "Adobo everyday...". While waiting for Sexy Mama (Vans / Vanessa Navalta), Kaye checked Mother Monster's BB phone to add songs on it. We enjoyed our food and we noticed that Vans is approaching with her sexy dress, along with a chinese bag. Not mentioning the V-neck back of the dress, with a long, wide sleeves that fitted her body.
She went towards our table and said, "Saan tayo? Doon na lang tayo sa bahay...". Everyone seemed to be shocked and each of us has their own line. I came from hosting a wedding and i was in a formal attire that day. Joy will meet her sister at Greenhills. Ruby has shift that night. Mother Monster and Kaye were relaxed coz they have an extra time to bond with us. "Ano ba minsan lang naman ito noh...sige na sama na kayo...", Mother Monster said while looking the road to find a taxi. "Sige sagot ko na pang-taxi niyo..." Vans offered. "Ay hindi talaga ako puwede..." said Ruby, still unsure. "O sige basta hanggang twelve lang tayo ha...", Joy explained. Then we looked for 2 taxis and hurriedly went to Vans' home.
We were surprised... All of us had a big stare when we reached the place. The house seems to be at large and it is a 3 floors. A wide garage and small door, which leads to a wide space living room with full of ornaments and chinese related designs. We were so amazed on how it looked like. We glanced at those things they have inside the houase and all of them were amazingly kept, specially the 2007 Calendar (imagine its been 5 years ago) which still hanging on the wall. Vans said that the reason why the calendar is still on its original position because every name of their family member is written on it.
We are in the middle of thinking on what we can have for lunch, when suddenly we saw a pile of DVDs on a small rack. We hurriedly checked it and it contains several movies. They ladies tried to pick their favorites and also asked Vans if thay can borrow some and watch it at home. Some are typical filipino movies like "Panday", "Working Girls", "Temptation Island" and others. I was not able to check it because I was busy fixing the sofa coz i'm kind of sleepy and ready to have my dreams on a lunchtime. They picked the movie which shows news and reports that was prohibited to air on National Tv. Why? Beacuse it shows torn human skins, deadly stunts, detached body parts and other sensational news that was happened over americans and asians which was not seen on TV. I tried watching it and it gave us chills, screams and eerie faces that can bolow our heads because of the different morbid acts. Then, i fell asleep for a couple of minutes while they are preparing the food for lunch.
As I woke up, they are eating and so I stood up and joined them. Joy prepared us the icetea while watching "Temptation Island", which stars Marian Rivera, Lovi Poe, heart Evangelista, Solenn Heussaff and others. After that, we finsihed our meals and started to rest again. On the garage, we saw the foot spa machine that Vans bought so we tried it and it made our feet relaxed. Each of us had their own positions. The girls went manicuring themselves, while I pamper myself. We also saw Vans' pet, the Turtoise (turtles) as we enjoyed the spa. We finished it and went inside to take a rest.While all of us tries to sleep, they asked if we wanted to do something else. We tried to check again the DVD rack, and guess what we saw... MARIO MAURER'S "A LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE"!!! I hurriedly checked it coz i have not watched it yet. I told them that I

MARIO MAURER'S "A LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE"!!! I hurriedly checked it coz i have not watched it yet. I told them that I
will borrow it, but they said we just have to watch it since we do not have anything to do, after eating the Red Ribbon Cake. :-) We watched the movie and it was SO GOOD, SO BEAUTIFUL, made us reminisce the days we have wayback high school. the crushy-washy thing, the loitering, the assignments, the projects and most of all... FRIENDS!
In the middle of watching it, the drama came in. Nam (who has a BIG crush with Shone, that Mario Maurer portrays), had the chance to tell her feelings to Shone, not even knowing that his crush already had a girlfriend. She said I LOVE YOU, but Shone did not throw back the sweete lines, but yet said that he is already committed. Nam (played by Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul) crashed and even fell on the swimming pool near the place where both of them standing. She ran away with a broken heart. That time, I was hardly crying. My eyes were swollen and i made Tin woke up because of me and Joy, sobbing over the movie. It ended well with tears and joy. After that, we realized that we had done so much on that day.
As I went home, i was really blessed and happy, knowing that friends are there, no matter how hard, how tough, how sad and how cruel life is, you still have your friends. We may gone through any trials and harships, BUT TRUE FRIENDS WILL STILL HELP AND PROVIDE COMFORT when you LEAST expect it.

A Miracle Instead of Luck
(This was taken originally from my facebook page wayback 2009. I was browsing on my Notes section and i decided to share this to you all...)
The night of august 9, and nearly 30 minutes passed for august 10, i was on a jeepney from Pedro Gil, Manila approaching Quiapo. I was about to go down and told the driver to stop on my location, but it seems the jeep is not fully stopped... I assumed that he is on a full stop for the driver is still looking for passengers to ride in, but my assumptions are truly wrong... I already reached the end of the jeep (estribo as they say) and tried going down, but the jeep moved and suddenly moving fast. I fell on the ground and slight carried by it but i let go of my hand holding the bar of the estribo. Thank God that the traffic was slow, and if not, a jeepney next to me will hit me and i will be dead that time...
So I stood up and dust myself off, pretending nothing happened. My hands are shaking and my knees are trembling. I am nearly crying because it is really a point of luck and a shatter of miracle for me...
I sent text messages to my selected friends, updating them on what happened to me. And one of my friends sent me a message like this...
"It's not by luck na mabagal 'yung jeep. Your guardian angel did something for you today. Utos ng boss niya..." (from Shizahi of ALMULA)
I started crying for it really scared me up and realized i am an inch to death if that was really serious...and another friend (my insan, Koichi) sent me this message...
1. "Kasi nga di mo pa time. Dito ka pa para magpasaya ng maraming tao..."
2. "Smile lang. marami kasing nagmamahal sa iyo kaya di ka pa puwede mawala. Siguro nangyari lang yun kanina para lalo mo ma-appreciate what you have..."
3. "Tandaan mo na lang na what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger..."
By that time, I am walking towards home and felt blessed for i am still alive...I was excited going home to thank God for saving me and also to thank Him for the friends i have who truly loves me...
"My saving grace Lord is...YOU..." - Mariah Carey
I know this is kind of cheesy or not serious, but for me? It means a lot for it will not happen if it did not have any reason...A miracle instead of luck!
