It's been a while since a song got stuck in my head. The last being Be-yonce's song that goes "to the left, to the left." or something. Now I've got this Alana Davis (known for her cover of 32 flavors) song playing in my head non-stop since this morning. The song's called "I want you" It's nice. I like it much. I'm not sure but I think it's another cover.

I WANT YOU
Alana Davis

I've seen suckers loose themselves in the games they learn to play,
Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away.
People always take a step away from what is true,
That's why I like you around,
I want you.
Yeah you do... you make me want you.

An open invitation to the dance,
Happenstance set the vibe that we are in,
No apology because my urge is genuine,
And the mystery of opposites attract and
Here I am and I want to take a hit,
Of your scent and it bit,
So deep into my soul,
I want you.
You do you do, you make me want you.

And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough.

The village church yard is filled with bones weeping in the grave,
The silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save,
You want to know how deeply my soul goes,
Deeper than bones, Deeper than bones,

And I can't get enough.
And I can't get enough.
And I can't get enough.
And I can't get enough.

After we did it by the window sill,
Smoke rings drifting into the sky,
wrapped in the quilt my that mama made
i walk and run fighting off the haze
but you talk real soft and kiss me on the cheek.
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep,
There will be no regrets when the end come,
And it will surely come.

You do you do, make me want you
I want you,
I want you

EDIT: Okay, so while googling for the lyrics I learn that Thrid Eye Blind also has a version of the song. The link I have here is live and acoustic. I can't seem to find the studio version. I'll keep searching though.

Have you seen the new Alpo 2-in-1 TV ad? The one with the overzealous Boston Terrier accidentally spilling water all over his dish? I got intrigued by it and decided to by my Bubba some. I wasn't sure if my Bubba would like it so I set off thinking I'd buy the smallest package I could find. Turns out the smallest available was the one kilo variety. Nevertheless, I decided to take a risk. It's a good thing my Bubba took a liking to it because then I wouldnt know what to do with almost a kilo of kibbles!

Also, for the coffee lovers out there, check out Nescafe's new offering. Viva Vanilla. The tag-line goes "Viva life, viva coffee! Viva Vanilla...rich creamy vanilla flavored coffee mix.

It's good, trust me. The taste reminds me of this sustagen concoction I used to drink when i was much much younger

qNitong huli, nakaugalian ko ng magpasa ng mga pictures para magsilbing "inspirasyon" ng mga illustrators ng PHR para sa cover ng mga libro ko. So far, nakaka-tatlo na ako.

One Girl, One Guy, One Night...

Sa Habang Buhay, Ikaw at Ako...


at ang pinakahuling lumabas: Polly, My Love So Sweet

Ang galing nila no? I'm talking about the illustrators here. Parang pagkadali-daling gumuhit base sa larawan. Pero ubod ng hirap pala. Alam ko kasi minsan na akong sumubok na mag-illustrate. Nakakatawa ang kinalabasan ng artwork ko kaya hindi ko na pinursige.

Kitams! Nakakatawa diba? But give me credit for the girl's top. Kahit papaano nakuha ko naman sya..i think..the rest eh kailangan pa ng isa't kalahating kabang bigas.

Truth, gusto ko pa ding sumubok, mag-aral, mag-practice, hanggang sa hindi na kakatwa kundi maituturing na "puwede na" ang aking obra. Pero tsaka na lang, hindi pa ngayon, ayoko muna...

Ang masasabi ko lang sa ilan dyan na kinukutya/pinagtatawanan ang mga TR pocketbook covers ay subukan n'yo kaya...kayo ang gumuhit. It's not as easy as it seems. That's why I admire these artists, they have gifted hands indeed. Simple as it may be, these cover illustrations are a testament to how much talent we Filipinos have. Bow.
