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",)

Eternal Flame Music Video

Written By Rocky Batara on Friday, May 21, 2010 | 12:23 PM

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",)

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

Tell Me Your Name

Romantic...! Maybe this is a word that would describe this new revival song of Christian Bautista. Hearing it the very first time, you will really fall in love!

In my case, hearing the new version of this song, I really felt love. I can't help imagining myself in a romantic candle light dinner with my very special someone! I feel, I was in the hands of love...embracing me too tightly!



Giving a bit of information about this new song, it was originally done by Mr. Jose Mari Chan. It was a smash hit on late 80's or early 90's and now became a popular classic song. It was then became a remarkable hit of Jose Mari Chan together with his other singles!

Now in our present days, the Asian Pop Superstar, Mr. Christian Bautista make a very good fresh revival of this song. It is a carrier single in his latest album, "Romance Revisited, The Songs of Jose Mari Chan" ! Yeah, all the songs in his album were the classic hit songs of Jose Mari Chan! Christian performed the revival of all the hits of Mr. Chan!

So successful that on the carrier single itself, everybody loves it! Infact, it was used in many love stories on TV specially the recently concluded Sunday afternoon romance mini-TV series Your Song Presents: "Someone To Love" which stars Bea Alonzo and Sam Milby!

And in terms of hit list, it was reported that this Christian Bautista's album topped the list replacing "Nobody" by Wondergirls in the No. 1 spot! Great!



In my own experience, my heart was really caught by this song! The rhythm, the beat, the melody, the singer, and the lyrics of the song was truly captivating!

It feels that you met someone somewhere in a place and you are wishing to get even just her name. I can really relate specially with the lines saying: "Tell me your name you’re lovely, Please tell me your name, Just when I thought, This would be one of those boring games, You walked into these feelings, You looked at me and smiled, My heart unfroze and started going wild...!"

Yeah, those lines were very similar to all of my experience. Majority of my encounters usually in the public places like malls, MRT, or bus, I met someone that really caught my heart! I'm wishing or I initiated to know them or even got their names. Some failed, but many were successful! We ended up in a romantic encounters in different motels! Hmmm...are these just a short time love affairs or only an intimate lust!?

Oops, before we talk deeper, I will let you experience and feel the lyrics of this new Christian Bautista's hit "Tell Me Your Name"! I can't help myself buy a copy of his album! I reproduced it in my PC and in my mobile phone!

So, enjoy it...! c",)




Tell Me Your Name
(Christian Bautista)

Tell me your name you’re lovely
Please tell me your name
Just when I thought
This would be one of those boring games
You walked into these feelings
You looked at me and smiled
My heart unfroze and started going wild

Can you imagine this
The confusion of
first loves kiss
A return to wondering
If the magic of love was this
You merely said hello
And my mind did a stop and go
Can it possibly be
The future for me is you

Tell me your name
I must know
Won’t you tell me your name
I’m not insane
Just frightened that you might go
Don’t go please stay beside me
Wait until I can tell you all my schemes
Chasing rainbows spinning dreams
Finding someone to love like you

I’m not insane
Just frightened that you might go
Don’t go please stay beside me
Wait until I can tell you all my schemes
Chasing rainbows spinning dreams
Tell me please your name
Tell me

And I Love You So

Just recently, this movie hits the blockbuster spot. With perfectly combined cast, world-class singer of the theme, and a truly captivating soundtrack, no more questions how it grabbed the hearts of the moviegoers!


Well as previously seen from its teaser, it was a kind of heavy-drama love story or rather a love triangle between the characters of Bea Alonzo, Derek Ramsay, and Sam Milby. Surprisingly, they portrait a totally matured roles. This is the movie where you will see the sexy body of Ms. Bea Alonzo. This is also the movie where you can experience the intimate love scene of Bea and Sam!

Hmmm...it such a totally matured movie for the young age. Especially nowadays, if not teenagers, young professionals like us age between 20 to 25 were experiencing such kind of love. But take note, it's not just ordinary love with only a holding hands or a movie date...an intimate love affairs with sex and body involvements! And in our age right now, many of us were already married or is planning to marry! Well, maybe many can relate with Bea's role in this movie since she plays a married woman who eventually get widowed!


Now the questions goes, who between Sam and Derek's character will Bea choose at the end of the story? We can't tell right away if we didn't catch the movie!

In terms of the theme song, it really suits the story. Have you observed that this song nowadays is gaining its popularity? Yup, actually this is not the first time that the said song was used as a theme. Regine Velasquez first made the revival of this song and now used as a theme in GMA 7's Koreanovela, "Cruel Love"! The title itself suggests a painfully heavy drama romance! And now, Gary Valenciano as well as Sam Milby also made their revivals for the said song and used for this movie!

More trivia about the song, this was originally done by Perry Como and Don McLean. Other more revisions were done by different artists way back in the past!

So now, I'm letting you experience the lyrics of this tearful love song! Have your handkerchief with you as you mesmerize it!



And I Love You So
(Gary Valenciano)

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them I don’t know.

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again
The day you took my hand.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening get me down
Now that you’re around me.


And you love me, too.
Your thoughts are just for me;
You set my spirit free.
I’m happy that you do.

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
That is my belief.

And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening bring me down
Now that you’re around me.

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them, "i don’t know."


I Knew I Loved You

I was in Third Year High School when this song becomes a smash hit! And this song also was such a memorable one being one of my theme songs to my first love. Will you eventually feel love the very first time you see someone?


It was 1999...oh its exactly 10 years ago! I was a 15-year old boy when I experience their so-called 'first love'! How doest it feel? How was it?

It was September of that year. I will join our Philippine History Quiz Bee Contest. Glad to say that in our batch, I was the lucky one who would represent our year. And of course, as the main contestant, I had also my other classmate who would alternate me.

So being the contestants, we will be train by our mentor, our Social Study Lady Teacher. She was one of my favorite teacher!

Our trainor not only holds our batch. She was also the teacher of the Fourth Year. Like in our year, she also had contestants from the higher year. And this was it!

When we came to the faculty office to start our first review, our trainor introduced us to her other two contestants, one boy and one girl. Meeting and knowing her girl contestant, I couldn't explain how my heart beats that faster! I didn't exactly knew.

Time goes by, every training, every review, my feelings for her grew deeper and deeper. The last day of our review was the hardest thing for me. That was the time that we couldn't anymore see each other on everyday basis. But the end of our review didn't served as the hindrance for not seeing her. Every after class, every school events, I always ensured that I could see her. I even encouraged her to join my organization.

And one of my way to talk with her and even get closer with was that I always borrowed books from her. Yeah, she loves to read books specially pocketbooks. I made sure that I could borrow all her academic books. I just reasoned out that I need those books since I don't have any!


Hmmm...seems that we are talking too long! I will cut first our story for now and watch out for our next chapters when I introduce to you our other more theme songs.

By now, here is Savage Garden who popularized one of our theme. If you want to listen to this as well, just scroll down my playlist! c",)


I Knew I Loved You
(Savage Garden)

Hmm ohh, I will come
Maybe it's intuition
Somethings you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend

I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for, I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo ohh
A thousand angels dance around you
(Ooh hoo, hoo ooo hoo ooo hoo hoo hoo)
I am complete now that I have found you

I knew I loved you before I met youI think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo hoo)
I knew I loved you before I met you
(Oh oh, ohh ohh, oh oh oh ay ay yea oh)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
I knew I loved you before I

A Little Too Not Over You

Written By Rocky Batara on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 | 3:25 AM









Trying...trying to forgot that someone we used to love! After my heart was CRUSHed down, we'll I think it's now the time to forget, forget the one who made our heart broken. As they always say, "if there is a thing that will hurt us, then let that thing go"...
And now, that's what I'm doing, trying to Get Over to that one!
After David Archuleta sings my inspirational song to her, "Crush", well, still David Archuleta sings another song that will lead me to forget her! A little Too Not Over You...because until right now, I wasn't yet over loving her!
"A Little Too Not Over You"
(David Archuleta)

It never crossed my mind at all.
It's what I tell myself.
What we had has come and gone.
You're better off with someone else.
It's for the best, I know it is.
But I see you.
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside,
And I turn around.
You're with him now.
I just can't figure it out.
Tell me why you're so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
I'm just a little too not over you.
Not over you....
Memories, supposed to fade.
What's wrong with my heart?
Shake it off, let it go.
Didn't think it'd be this hard.
Should be strong, movin' on.
But I see you.
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside.
And I turn around,
You're with him now.
I just can't figure it out.
Tell me why you're so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
I'm just a little too not over you.
Maybe I regret everything I said,
No way to take it all back, yeah...
Now I'm on my own..
How I let you go, I'll never understand.
I'll never understand, yeah, oohh..
Oohhh, oohhh, oohhhh..Oohhh, ooohhhh, oohhh.
Tell me why you're so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
I'm just a little too not over you.
Tell me why you're so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
And I really don't know what to do.
I'm just a little too not over you.


Thanks much for the lyrics of this song c",)
Hope to fully get over to the CRUSH then became LOve That I have lost..... because I'm trying to get over, get out of love as I found out that she was taken by the other...!!
