This song also reminds me of my third year high school memories. Yup, it was also became a huge hit in the year 1999. This was popularized by Joey Mcintyre.
Hmmm...how did it reminds me of my high school moments? Did it also brings back the memories of my first love?!
Hmmm...not exactly! Actually this song became a hit before I met my first love. It became famous on the early part of my third year high school days. I met my first love on the month of September!
But then still this song led to remembering my first love! You know that our former neighbor who used to be my enemy really love this song?! Haha! She kept on singing this song everytime it was played on the radio (and even if not playing)!
Again and again, since it's already a back-to-school month, let's reminisce my third year high school moments with the music video of this song called "Stay The Same"! Let us refresh 1999, a year that was...!!! C",)

The year 1999 was a very memorable year to me. I was a 15-year old third year high school student during that year. My career, my academic performance and of course the most important thing, my love life really bloomed during that year!
Adopting an era from my favorite history subject, this was my "Golden Year" in high school!
And this song from the boy group called Human Nature was became a huge hit in the era of my "golden year" in high school.
Yeah, hearing this revival song made me remember the days that I became successful in school and in my romance. Imagine in that year I became an official Philippine History Quizzer, a Science and Technology Quizzer, a Best in Chemistry student having a ceiling grade in four grading periods, a Literary Editor in our school publication, a winner of all the contest that I've joined, and a Top 2 (Second Honor) student in our year level! What more, I got an average grade of more than 92+ at the end of our year. But the most important thing, the best thing that happened to me was the time I fall in love with my co-quizzer!
Well, I think I do not need to tell you over and over again my first love story (unang teleserye kong nag-hit!) since you already knew that from my previous posts. I just like to share with you how it feels hearing back the song that sings my love story!
If you ask me if nasan na sya ngayon, the latest news I got about her was that, she was already in USA taking her Masteral degree in Medicine! And their family is owning and running a parlor/SPA business!
So, let me share with you this good music video from Human Nature, the MTV of the song called "Eternal Flame". JCTM...now a good memory to cherish! C",)

After we dance to the tune of my first love story in college, time now to be more senti! Just like I have said, almost or majority of the Westlife's hit songs connoted my different love stories.
And this song remake of this Irish boyband originally done by the group called Extreme was one of my theme songs to my first love way back in third year high school. It's now turn for JCTM! =)
I was 15 and she was 16 that time! I was a third year high school while she was a fourth! We met when we joined together the Philippine History Quiz Bee. I can't forget that date, September 19, 1999!
When our quiz bee was over, I recruited her to join our high school student publication. Then every Sunday meeting when I was tasked to buy our foods, I asked her to come together with me (so 'kilig' haha...!). And one incident that I never forget was the time she sang this song!
It was Sunday afternoon in 11th Ave. Grace Park, Caloocan City. The songs played on the radio were all oldies but goodies. And the original version of this song from Extreme was played! Since this song was also my favorite, I was shocked hearing her singing the same song! Wow...I felt that I was being serenaded! From that moment, I really love very much this song! Specially on that year, Westlife launched their own remake of this said song!
Westlife sang it very well better than the original! Everytime I heard it playing, I remember our moments together one Sunday afternoon! I truly feel the romance within this song! Inspiration, love, admirations...all rolled into one! How I wish I will feel the same feeling again...!
So again for this very moment, allow me to share with you the same feeling I felt when hearing and watching this Westlife's version of "More Than Words"! Lyrics of the song is also flashing in this song's MTV! Let's reminisce back the times we were together JCTM! C",)

It's been two years ago after I had my first love in the corporate world. In my first job, I found my first love in the workplace!
I didn't know how we met. Could it be intended or accidental?
This is an article I published in my "Bits of Rockz" blog in Friendster last September 17, 2007. I wrote this when I already on my second work right after we had separated with my love in my first job. I like to share it with you here in my new blog.
It reads:
Unexpected…accidental… intentional…or should I say destiny had moved the way?
You cannot predict what will going to happen or what your fate offers to you. Maybe you wish for someone to be with you, and you didn’t know how that wish will be granted. But suddently, you didn’t expect that the hands of fate has something to do for that wish. You didn’t even know that it is ‘already written in the stars’ that the two of you is yet to meet. That the path for the two of you will soon to be collided!
And now that the twist was already there, and you already had the ‘wish’ on your hands, what will you do next to keep that grant on your hands? Day by day, the feelings get stronger and you realized that you already fallen deeply to your ‘former wish’!
But the question is, it is not yet the right time for the two of you. It is not yet the time to keep or to hold on your ‘grant’ deeply. Deeply and deeply until you ultimately fall. You still have a priority, a goal, and ambition greater than your ‘wish’ that needs a much attention and more focus. What will you do if you already ‘fallen’? The question now, "will you catch me if I fall…"?
It’s just a brief interrude to my new soap. A series recently started in a ligher way (in contrast with my previous hit fantasy-series). Now that the ’season’ have started and a place in my heart was just created deeper and deeper (?), the only thing, the only wish, and request from the bottom of my rebuilt heart and brilliance mind, was that…catch me if I fall!
Thanks for Ms. Toni Gonzaga that sings one of the rhythm of my heart now for these days, "Catch Me I’m Falling". I like to share it with you to build a new inspiration, a new new hope, and a new dreams and endeavors to all our hearts… Just like what happened to me! It now builds a new fighting spirit in a lighter way but deeply inside to come across the road…!
Catch Me I’m Falling (Toni Gonzaga)
I don’t know why But when I look in your eyes I feel something that seem so right You’ve got yours I’ve got mine I think I’m loosing my mind Cause I shouldn’t feel this way
Catch me I’m falling for you And I don’t know what to do
How can something so wrong Feel so right all along Catch me I’m falling for you How can time be so wrong For love to come along
Catch me I’m falling for you How can love let it grow When it has no place to go And I can’t go along pretending That love is in here to stay Catch me I’m falling for you If I could just walk away Without you from day to day I would die just thinkin’ of you I know we can never be More than friends you and me But why do I feel this way?
Catch me I’m fallin’ for you And I don’t know what to do
How can something so wrong Feel so right all along Catch me I’m falling for you How can time be so wrong For love to come along Catch me I’m falling for you Maybe someday I’ll see Why love did this to me Coz I can’t go along pretending That love is in here to stay Catch me I’m falling for you
Catch me I’m falling for you And its wrong for me to feel this way Coz I don’t know what to do without you I’m falling for you Catch me I’m falling for you
Catch me I’m falling for you How can something so wrong Feel so right all along Catch me I’m falling for you

Did you like the post? I was really deeply falling in love with her during that time. It's hard for me to forget her so I wrote our theme song to reminisce her! After three years, I finally moved on...! C",)
