and others

The acoustic jammin was okay.. even if I missed 2 lines of the song.. can’t really blame me, we only practiced this song this week and we didn’t have a decent source of lyrics.. Try googlin’ for the lyrics of Manila girl and you won’t find any! Okay, for the benefit of those who will be singin it in the future, I’ll post our transcribed lyrics.. :) I’’m sure there are parts that are wrong, I welcome corrections. Here is what I sang:

 

Flashin like lightning, I can’t believe it

My eyes won’t fail me coz I’m not loaded

Time rolled swiftly as I keep rock and rollin

I get to open my eyes on a bright modern girl

 

Manila girl, manila girl

Manila girl, manila girl

No wall’s gonna block you no road is gonna stop you

Your beat is movin’ steady, I dare you follow me

 

I followed all rainbows it took me all directions

I found me no gold but those pearls don’t go

Wind keeps em twitchin, engines keep em rollin’

Sideways front ways, what’s your name anyway

 

As u can see, it doesn’t make sense… either we transcribed wrong or the song really just doesn’t make sense. :p anyway… it was a cool experience.. I felt less scared on stage this time.. still there was a tremble in my voice..

 

Anyway, that’s what I did last night.. this morning I woke up early and at lunch time I went to Mattie’s to have lunch with my officemates. It’s a small eating place near our office at Matalino st. UP village. I got to eat 4 and a half rice and sinigang for free! ;) the owner challenged me that if I could eat 5 rice, he’d give me a free meal.. and he was true to his word! But seriously, those living near the area should really check it out.. it’s unlimited rice, free iced tea (and occasionally juice or gulaman)  and soup! All this for 40 pesos! Now that’s amazing.. we’ve been eatin there ever since one of our office mates mentioned it.. anyway.. I’m a bit sleepy so…zzzzz…

 

 

Cheese,
