Big Girls Don't Cry Music Video

Written By Rocky Batara on Monday, May 24, 2010 | 12:10 PM

It's been three years and one month now since I got my first and second jobs. Yeah, it was 2007 when I struggled for a best job. Thanks God, I already got my third job which is best among the previous two! And I already spending my two years and three months here.

Talking about my previous two jobs, did you know that this song from Fergie reminded me of my previous works?

Actually this song called "Big Girls Don't Cry" was the theme song of my officemates in my second job. They keep on playing this song on their cubicles. The song was so good to hear, hindi nakakasawa...! I also love this one!

What more, before I leave my first job, whenever I ride on the bus going home, this song was always played! And my love in that first job always registered on my mind!

But this song was really for my second job. Whenever this song was played, I always remember those god times I spent in this second job. My friends there, my moments, and of course my crush there...all those memories flashed on my mind when I hear this song!

How about if we watch its music video?! I love its music video! It seems that my love stories in my first and second job were reflected here! But still my previous working moments were still on top! So, let us all see how beautiful and hopelessly romantic this song is...! C",)

Catch Me I’m Falling

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",)

Don't Matter

The beat, the lyrics, and the rhythm of this song keep reminding me of my first experience! Yup, my first experience in the Corporate World...my first love in the Corporate World!

Yeah...I always remember my first job right after Collage. It was April 2007 when it all started...!


The year was 2007 when this song by Akon hit the airwaves. The same year when I finished my ECE course and the year when I got my first job!

April right after my graduation, I immediately looked a job that would fit my qualifications. I walked-in in all the glamorous and beautiful buildings in Makati. My first target building was the tallest tower in the city which is the PBCom tower while next in my line is RCBC. I used to dropped my resumes in all the floors of PBCom. Imagine how high is it...53 floors!

Thanks God my efforts were rewarded. I got two final interviews and two job offers from the two companies in PBCom. The choice was mine during that time, I prefer to choosed the second company, a small IT firm where I was given an offer as Network Admin and Telecom Sales Associate rather than the first one as a Technical Writer with a 5 year contract! God...I really missed my crush in the first company, she's really nice, cute, and beautiful! She's the HR manager who interviewed me!


But then I finally decided to choosed the second company where I can apply my ECE course. Starting with this company, I was longing for my HR manager crush in the first company. Maybe its a coincidence that they were just above our floor. We were located on the 22nd floor while they were on the 23rd!

But this infatuation stopped when my schoolmate entered our company. Yeah, I recommended her to our General Manager as a programmer. Thanks God, she was hired! And this started my love story with her. A new love in a new world...in a Corporate World!

How nice that we were always together. We ate lunch together, we go home together! Our other officemates used to cheer us. Lagi na nila kaming tinutukso...my heart really jumped for joy!

I always with her. When I came home late at night, we go home together ridding in a bus. I like to go home late at night so that there will no more LRT to ride, so that we can ride together in a bus for a long time. She even sleeps in my shoulder...wow! Even in the afternoon, I used to get "tampo" with her if she did not eat lunch with me! I got very angry if she joined lunch with my other boy officemates rather than me!

But things got over...I finally decided to leave my first job to look for a better company. Yeah, I leave her in our company. But on my final day on the said company, we ate lunch together, our final lunch!

For now, let me cut first our story short. Let us now move to the song that used to be one of our themes. This is the song by Akon. Enjoy its lyrics then try to reminisce our story as you hear it here in my playlist! c",)




Don't Matter
(Akon)

Konvict Konvict
Oh
Ohoohwooe
Oooh
Ooohhwooe

[Chorus:]

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you

Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we'd last forever
I feel 'em hopin' and prayin'
Things between us don't get better
Men steady comin' after you
Women steady comin' after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don't wanna respect boundaries
Tellin' you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied

[Chorus]

Got every right to wanna leave
Got every right to wanna go
Got every right to hit the road
And never talk to me no more
You don't even have to call
Even check for me at all
Because the way I been actin' lately
Has been off the wall
Especially toward you
Puttin' girls before you
And they watchin' everything I been doin'
Just to hurt you
Most of it just ain't true
Ain't true
And they won't show you
How much of a queen you are to me
And why I love you baby

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause I got you
'Cause I got you
Oh
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause I got you

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gonn' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gon' fight
Oh yes we gon' fight
Believe we gon' fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
