Grow Old With You, My Version

As I was going home this morning, I came up with this song. I wanted it to be reminiscent of Adam Sandler's Grow Old With You from the movie, The Wedding Singer. I made it campy and funny, but still conveys the romantic message of undying love.


Tatanda Kang Dalaga
lyrics by Marvin Tolfo

Di kita mapipigilan kung gusto mong umalis
Wala akong magagawa kundi sa 'yo ay mainis

Hindi ko makakaya pag ikaw sa aki'y mawala
Kaya ngayon baunin mo itong aking sumpa:

Tatanda kang dalaga, tatanda akong binata
Di man tayo mag-asawa, tayo pa rin ang magkasama

Mahal pa rin naman kita kahit ikaw ay mataba
Kahit na ang tamad mo't luto mo ay mapakla

Hindi kita iiwan magalit man ang tatay mo
Kahit ako ay iyong talikuran, isinusumpa ko:

Tatanda kang dalaga, tatanda akong binata
Di man tayo mag-asawa, tayo pa rin ang magkasama

Eh ano kung mayaman siya, mabait naman ako
Lagi ko ngang sinusunod ang utos ng nanay mo
Sige lang magsama kayo, magsasawa ka rin d'yan
Ako lang naman ang makakatiis sa ugali mong ganyan

Ano ngayon kung bitter ako, masakit ang yong ginawa
Kaya, heto, tandaan mo ang aking sumpa:

Pagpatak mo ng sisenta, at wala ka pang asawa
Kakaladkarin kita sa loob ng kapilya
At sa ayaw mo't sa gusto, pakakasal tayo
Kasi naman ayaw ko...

Na tumanda kang dalaga, at tumanda akong binata
Kaya habang maaga pa, mag-isip isip ka na.

Of Buses

I awoke at the voice of the conductor. I looked through the half-tinted, fogged window of the bus, and saw that it was drizzling outside. The road was busy, deceitful and unwelcoming, as cars veered to and fro it's intersections. I stared at Rachel, sitting beside me, sleeping, her head resting on her side, with her hair brushing along the scarlet curtains. I watched as the lights from outside brightened her full cheeks. She is beautiful as ever. I noticed her pale red lips, dried by the cold temperature of the bus, move and twitch, and so I let my eyes escape her view. "Are we there yet?" she whispered, half-awake. I let out a sigh, then turned my head to her, shaking it, smiling. "What's taking us too long?" "We got stuck in traffic earlier. As always." Now its her turn to let out a sigh, an irritated one, and I saw her breath as it came out of her mouth. "Do you feel cold?" I asked. She nodded. I reached out my arm to t...

Perfect Love Story

This is my perfect love story. We meet while I am having a summer vacation in Puerto Princesa. Or maybe Boracay. Or Pagudpud. Or Baler. You are visiting your family. Or maybe you are taking a break with your friends. Or colleagues. We are in a restaurant, a cafe, and I am ordering a drink or a meal, and you are doing the same. We catch a glimpse at each other, and at that instantaneous moment, we both know. We are meant to be. The world stops spinning. But only in our heads, because everyone around us continue moving. Yet, we don't care. Time stands still, and all I see is you. I smile, and you catch yourself smiling back. You break your stare and blush. Time starts moving again. From that moment on, I couldn't stop looking your way. Yet you keep avoiding my eyes. Of course you will. You are a proud woman, you're not cheap, you're not easy to get. You stand up and excuse yourself. You say you are not feeling well and you start walking back to your cottage. I stan...

Gracenote's First Movement

Gracenote's First Movement makes a lasting movement. I am a fan of Gracenote. Their music is reminiscent of the 90's pop-rock that I grew up with, combined with punkish-rock elements. They're not too heavy, and not too pop either, they're at the middle, and that's why rockers from both spectrum can enjoy their sound. The Gracenote, from left to right Alvin Ortiz (who, sadly, already departed the band), Chen Pangan, Eunice Jorge, Jazz Jorge and EJ Pichay First Movement , I believe, is their second album. The first one, self-titled Gracenote , was released independently some time in 2009. Since then, they have come a long way and their music evolved. Three years ago you might have dared call them a Paramore knock-off, but now they are Gracenote. First Movement consists of 8 tracks, the last one being an acoustic version of their current single, Amnesia . Kicking off the album is Knock Knock , written by the band's lead vocalist herself, Eunice Jorge....
