I have been swamped lately and now that I am on vacation [yeay!], I finally have enough time on my hands to start making entries and answer tag surveys. Now let’s see how this one will turn out. .. .
This is how it goes:
Put your music player [iPod/ Creative Zen/ iTunes/ Whatever else you have] on shuffle mode.
1. Press forward for each question.
2. Answer the questions by the song title that comes up even if it doesn’t make sense.
3. No Cheating!
and try to click onto the Song Title so you could get to listen to some of the songs too!
1. How are you feeling today?
“Adrenaline” Gavin Rossdale
“Adrenaline, screaming out your name. Adrenaline, you don’t even feel the pain. Wilder than your wildest dreams. When you’re going to extremes, it takes adrenaline.”
Waking up to sore, aching muscles. Looking stupidly at your limb bruises and yelping for your swelling knuckles while you gingerly step into the shower after a day’s training, yeah, that day when you were Kru’s flavour of the month – Hah, asah pa!
2. Will you get far in life?
“Justice” Victor Wooten
Parang bomalabs ang konek nito ah, pero anyhoo this cut reminds of this something that [soon-to-be Atty.] J shared with me weeks ago that went on like this:
May the god of Civil Law perfect you upon consent. May the god of Crimminal Law bless you with exempting circumstances for every sin you commit. May the god of Labor Law give you premium pay for all your efforts. May the god of Taxation never tax you beyond your capacity. May the god of Mercantile Law never restrictively indorse you. May the god of Political Law never deny you due process and may the god of Remedial Law never let you run out of remedies for every cause of action you may have.
3. How do your friends see you?
“Flight” Hiraya
What could it mean in the context of this question? Uh, search me.
4. Will you get married?
“Breath” Pearl Jam
“Run away my son. See it all. Oh, see the world!”
This song tells me that if I don’t start emerging from my comfort zone, I would likely end up an old, bitter and regretful baglady. Hala! Haha
5. What is your best friend’s theme song?
“Much Afraid” Jars of Clay
“So I lay at Your Feet all my brokenness. I carry all of my burdens to You.”
I remember how Russ said that “Be not afraid” is mentioned more than 365 times in The Great Book. This one is probably more like my Best Friend’s song for me.
6. What is the story of your life?
“Can’t Take It In” Imogen Heap
“Oh, empty m heart. I’ve got to make room for this feeling – so much bigger than me. .. .”
The feeling of happiness could get pretty overwhelming sometimes, but I’ll get around to being comfortable with it. Basta. Someday, I’ll truly embrace my worth.
7. What was high school like?
“Love of My Life” Extreme
Huwaat?!! The only remote connection this song has with my STC days is that my some of my high school BFFs were all ape about Extreme and all the other big hair rock daddies then. It was the heyday of spandex and shoulder pads, what can I say?
8. How can you get ahead in life?
“A Tonic Reprise” Wolfgang
Halaaaa. .. . kalunos lunos naman ng kinabukasan ko kung nagkataon. This shuffle mode’s embarrassing me
9. What is the best thing about your friends?
“Kalayaan” The Dawn
“Heto ang kahinaan ko, inaalay ko sa Iyo upang bigyan ng tibay at lakas ang isang katulad ko. . .. .Ikaw ang kalayaan ko!”
Oh, san ka pa, ha!
I am truly blessed with awesome, inspiring and wonderful friends. And for that I’m so grateful.
10. What is today going to be like?
“Not My Day” A Murder of Crows
Haha, minsan, panalo din ‘tong shuffle ko eh
“Tonight, I wanna be so careless. .. . as I lay on the ground and look at the sky, everything’s beautiful and everything’s right.”
11. What is in store for the weekend?
“Skunkfunk” Bassjones
Oh yeah, let’s bring on the groove!
12. What song describes you?
“Spingfield Soul Stew” Marge Simpson
Goodness, I’m getting flattered despite of myself. Gosh I’m grinning stoopid! Waah, stop it! Haha!
13. To describe your grandparents?
“Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots” by Flaming Lips
Now this is totally funny!
14. How is your life going?
“Time Stand Still” Rush
This one is so right on the money, kid! I’m riding in a giant emotional cocktail swirl of feeling of gratitude, excitement, love with a bit of longing and ebbing sadness thrown in.
“Summer’s going fast, nights growing colder. Children growing up, friends growing older. Freeze this moment a little bit longer. Make each impression a little bit stronger. .. .”
15. What song will they play at your funeral?
“Desire” U2
Haha! It looks like I’m not about to leave this planet quietly =D
16. How does the world see you?
“Don’t Cry” Seal
What’s gonna be my take on this? Hmmm. .. .
17. Will you have a happy life?
“Kill The Lights” Birthday Massacre
OK sige, this song is not the kind of peptalk one would like to hear when one is in a slump. Haha!
I’m not sure if my life will be happy but I’m definitely sure it would be worthwhile and exciting!
18. What do your friends really think of you?
“Don’t Know What To Do [Don’t Know What To Say]” Ric Segretto
Olats naman ‘to, oh. Aaack! Old School mush! My toes are curling! Nyaaah!
19. How can I make myself happy?
“Enjoy The Silence” Depeche Mode
Sasha and Dingwood Techno Mix version pa ‘to ah. Yipes, tanda ko na talaga. Sige na nga, tatahimik na ako.
20. What should you do with your life?
“Kapalaran” Radioactive Sago Project
Wahahahahahahhahahahahaha! Panalo ‘to! Buti na lang hindi ito ang sagot sa No. 17!
*apir tayo jan. Itaas mo pah!*
