The Reason

Written By Rocky Batara on Sunday, February 6, 2011 | 12:49 PM

Sometimes, it's hard to forget the person who becomes so special to you. Or a person that really becomes part of your heart. Though many years already passed, that person would somehow flashes your mind!

This happened to me after listening to this previous hit song. This song called "The Reason" from Hoobastank is a popular hit song way back in 2004. And during that year, I was a third year ECE student who trapped inlove with the person who already flew in Dubai!

During those times, whenever I heard this song, it made me cry! It keeps me reminded with a love I already lost!

The reason why she flew to Dubai and leaved me alone is because she wants to find a good job. And the reason why I pursue engineering is to also have a better job someday and also to totally forget her!

Now after 7 years, all were just memories of the past! Am I still loving her?! Or I now fully recovered from her?! Well, my answer now is I'm finding my one true love! Yes, I already moved on from her and ready to love again!

So for my pre-Valentines offering, here is Hoobastank singing you with a song called "The Reason"! Love is really the reason why we are living and taking different challenges! c",)


The Reason

(Hoobastank)



I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Ready To Fall

When was the last time you fall in love? Are you committed to someone now? Or you recently had your breakups?

Are you looking for someone to love? Or you just waiting love to come to you?

It was 2004 when I heard this song by Joey Fatone. The lyrics, the beat, the voice of the singer, and of course the message of the song is really great! It's all about falling in love again! Hearing this song, I immediately buy a CD to burn this one and continuously play it!

You know that during that time, I lost my love! She had recently departed in a far away land to look for a better job! I was left here in the country pursuing another degree! I was kept on finding love to replace my lost one during that time! And because of that situation, this song became my theme. I learned to love this song from then on!

Until now, I still love this song. I had a copy of this in my mobile phone, in my PC, and even here in my playlist! It really inspires me. It always gives me a chance to love!

Now that I am engaged in a busy Corporate work, love is still in my priority. I have the power to choose who to love! I have my lineups of my prospects! But I have not yet giving my love to them! All I have for now are all lust! For now, I just enjoyed having different one night affairs!

So, I will share with you the lyrics of this song. The message is really good! What more, try to listen with this song here in my rockiluz playlist. You will love this! You will really get inspired! Join me as we travel down love! Are you ready to fall?! c",)




Ready To Fall
(Joey Fatone)


I get a feeling I can't explain
whenever your eyes meet mine
My heart spins in circles
and I lose all space and time

And now that we're standing face to face
somethiing tells me it's gonna be OK
that I'm ready to fall in love tonight
ready to hold my heart open wide
I can't promise forever
but baby i'll try
cuz I'm ready to fall in love tonight

I know you've been watching
choosing the moment
I've been dreaming of that day
no one before you has gotten to me this way

And now that we're standing face to face
something that I need to say
and I'm ready to fall in love tonite
ready to hold my heart open wide
I can't promise forever but baby I'll try
cuz I'm ready to fall in love tonight

Nothing is certain
this I know
wherever we're heading
I'm ready to go

I can't promise forever but baby I'll try
cuz I'm ready to fall in love tonight
yes I'm ready to fall in love tonight
yes I'm ready to fall in love tonight

Wag Na Wag Mong Sasabihin

Romance in Paris...or Lovers in Paris...! All of us were very much familiar with this!

Korean or Filipino, it really created a smash hit on our TV screen. But of course, its original soundtrack also created a place in our hearts! The TV series or the song itself...it is such a love story na walang kaPARIS...!

I still remember the date. It was 2004, I was a third year student in my new collage, the collage in Engineering where I took up my ECE course when the original koreanovela "Lovers in Paris" first aired on Primetime Bida replacing the smash hit fantaserye "Marina".

We all didn't expect that the said TV series will create a phenomenon on television. It was then themed with Kitchie Nadal's original hit "Wag na Wag Mong Sasabihin"! Together, a total TV series craze was created on Philippine television. Carlo, Vivian, and Martin really touched our hearts.


The same teleserye fever was again repeated but this time with a Filipino flavor! A remake of the hit Koreanovela was revived on TV. Piolo Pascual, KC Concepcion, and Zanjoe Marudo are now the new Carlo, Vivian, and Martin! A new love-triangle heats up our TV screen.

Hearing their song which was now revived by KC Concepcion with another version from KC duet with Piolo, I still remember my 2004 love story. If they have a love story in Paris, I could say, I have a former love in Dubai! Yeah, as I told you before in my previous posts, my love flew in Dubai to look for a better future while I remained here in our country and decided to pursue an engineering course. Glad I already finished it now with flying colors!

5 years had passed. I have now my own career and creating my own future. That love I used to cherished for years were now laid in my memories. A better good and inspiring love story to look back and share!

Well, to inspire you as well, here is the lyrics of the song we all used to love! Be inspired! Let love come our ways! Let us all reminisce the past love we had...! c",)



Wag Na Wag Mong Sasabihin
(KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual / Kitchie Nadal)

May gusto ka bang sabihin
Ba't di mapakali
Ni hindi makatingin
Sana'y wag mo na 'tong palipasin
At subukang lutasin
Sa mga isinabi mo na ibang nararapat sa akin
Na tunay kong mamahalin

Ohhhhh wag na wag mong sasabihin
Na hindi mo nadama itong pag-ibig kong handang ibigay kahit pa kalayaan mo

Ano man ang naakala
Na ako'y isang bituin
Na walang sasambahin
Di ko man ito ipakita
Abot langit ang daing
Sa mga isinabi mo na ibang nararapat sa akin
Na tunay kong mamahalin

Ohhhhh wag na wag mong sasabihin
Na hindi mo nadama itong pag-ibig kong handang ibigay kahit pa kalayaan mo

At sa gabi
Sinong duduyan sayo
At sa umaga
Ang hangin na hahaplos sayo

Ohhhhh wag na wag mong sasabihin
Na hindi mo nadama itong pag-ibig kong handang ibigay kahit pa kalayaan mo

Ohhhhh...

Ohhhhh...

Ohhhhh wag na wag mong sasabihin
Na hindi mo nadama itong pag-ibig kong handang ibigay kahit pa kalayaan mo

Angels Brought Me Here

Written By Rocky Batara on Friday, June 5, 2009 | 6:02 PM

2004 when I first hear this song. That time I was really longing for someone...someone I used to loved but eventually flew away...flew away in a faraway land to look for a better job and opportunities.

I was wishing then that someday she will be back or that someday we will meet again. While I decided to continue my engineering studies, she already got her job in Dubai.

Every after school, everyday that I go home, I just dropped by in SM Manila, reminiscing the place that we're together. Or maybe I just look for someone that will replace her in my heart!


It took time before I get fully recovered from the love that I have lost. I'ved tried to fall to someone nearer to me. But it was in Summer of 2005 when I really found someone that replaced her place!


Hmmm...seems that we're talking too much! I just got reminded with someone in the past when I hear this song. Well, as requested by my officemate friend, I will share with you the lyrics of the song we're talking about. It was Guy Sebastian who popularized this song.


Angels Brought Me Here
(Guy Sebastian)


[Verse 1]
It's been a long and winding journey, but i'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces, and walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes...

[Bridge]
My dreams came true, when i found you
I found you, my miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, that you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Verse 2]
Standing here before you, feels like i've been born again
Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name...

[Bridge 2]
My dreams came true, right here in front of you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Bridge 3]
Brought me here to be with you,
I'll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Yes they brought me here...
If you could feel, the tenderness i feel...
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
