Forty And Beyond

I am Alex. I turned 40 on March 9, 2014. They say, "Life begins at 40". So I say, "Let's get the party started!" Join me as I journey and experience life to its fullest from 40 and beyond. Since I am a big fan of Boyce Avenue, expect tons of videos of them doing their acoustic covers.

Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako 

Performed by Michael Panglinan

Pare mahal mo raw ako? Yan ang sabi mo raw nang minsan ay malasing tayo. Hindi kita sinisisi, galit ay wala ako. Pare pag-usapan natin to. Pare ako raw ang yong gusto? Yan ba ang lihim na sa aki’y sasabihin mo? Hindi ako iiwas di lalayo sa yo. Pare pag-usapan natin to.

Wala namang mababago sa pagtingin ko sa iyo. Pero kaibigan lang ang pwede kong ialay sa iyo. At kung higit pa ron, pasensya na di ko makakaya. Pare kaibigan lang kita. Pare nandito lang ako, nangangako sa yo ganoon pa rin ikaw, ako. Hindi ako iiwas, di lalayo sa yo. Pare kaibigan pa rin ako.

Wala namang mababago sa pagtingin ko sa iyo. Pero kaibigan lang ang pwede kong ialay sa iyo. At kung higit pa ron, pasensya na di ko makakaya. Pare kaibigan lang kita. Hindi maiilang, lagi mong tandaan kaibigan mo ako kailanpaman.

Wala namang mababago sa pagtingin ko sa iyo. Pero kaibigan lang ang pwede kong ialay sa iyo. At kung higit pa ron, pasensya na di ko makakaya. Pare kaibigan lang kita. Pare kaibigan lang kita.

Mahal Ko O Mahal Ako 

Performed by KZ Tandingan

Dalawa kayo sa buhay ko at ako ngayon ay kailangan nang mamili. Isa lang ang maaari. Alam mong narito ako, lagi para sa iyo. Mahal kita ng labis ngunit iba ang iyong nais. At siya’y narito alay sa ki’y wagas na pag-ibig. Nalilito, litong litong lito. Sino ang iibigin ko? Ikaw ba na pangarap ko o siya bang kumakatok sa puso ko? Anong paiiralin ko, isip ba o ang puso ko? Nalilito, litong-litong-lito. Sinong pipiliin ko, mahal ko o mahal ako?

Kahit di ako ang mahal mo kung mananatili ako sa yo ay baka matutunan mo rin na ako’y iyong ibigin. At kung sadyang siya’y tapat baka sakaling pagdaan ng araw matutunan ko rin ang ibigin siya. Sino ang iibigin ko? Ikaw ba na pangarap ko o siya bang kumakatok sa puso ko? Anong paiiralin ko, isip ba o ang puso ko? Nalilito, litong-litong-lito. Sinong pipiliin ko? 

Ang nais ko ay maranasan ang umibig at masuklian din ng pag-ibig. Sino ang iibigin ko? Ikaw ba na pangarap ko o siya ba? Anong paiiralin ko, isip ba o ang puso ko? Nalilito, litong-litong-lito, litong-litong-lito. Sinong pipiliin ko, mahal ko o mahal ako?

Mahal Kita Pero 

Performed by Janella Salvador

Mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero di pwede kay nanay, di pwede kay tatay. Ayaw ni tito at ni tita. Mapili si ate pati si kuya. Strikto si lolo at si lola. Mag-aral raw muna o mas bigyan ng oras ang pamilya. Pero tandaan mo to mahal na mahal kita.

Mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, pero, pero bata pa tayo, di ko pa kaya. Marami pa tayong inaasikaso at baka rin posibleng sa iba ka pang magkagusto. Ang oras muna ay hayaang palipasin. Pag tama na ang panahon pwede mo na kong lambingin.

Mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, pero, pero alam mo naman ilang beses ko nang pinaramdam. Ilang beses na rin kitang sinabihan na ako ay babalik nang handa kang mahalin at alagaan. 

Mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, pero, pero. Mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, mahal kita pero, pero, pero. Di pwede kay nanay, di pwede kay tatay. Ayaw ni tito at ni tita. Ayaw ni ate, ayaw ni kuya.

If You Don't Want To Fall 

Performed by Jed Madela

I could write a thousand songs. I could cite a thousand reasons we belong. I could choose the perfect words. They’d still be better left unheard. 

I could say a thousand prayers. I could weave a thousand lies to make you care. I could live my life for you. I could even die for you. Anything you’d ask me to I’d do. But if you don’t want to fall for me, you don’t want to feel the need to be with me at all. Then there’s nothing else I could ever do. No words I could say to you to get me through the wall if you don’t want to fall.

If you just say it to my face then maybe I could change and mend my broken ways. But everything is without use if life is living without you. Tell me what am I supposed to do. If you don’t want to fall for me, you don’t want to feel the need to be with me at all. Then there’s nothing else I could ever do. No words I could say to you to get me through the wall if you don’t want to fall.

Nothing’s ever worth anything in my life no more. No one’s gonna make me feel just like before. Nothing’s gonna work, no one’s ever ever gonna do because there’s no one else but you. But if you don’t want to fall for me, you don’t want to feel the need to be with me at all. Then there’s nothing else I could ever do. No words I could say to you to get me through the wall if you don’t want to fall for me. You don’t want to feel the need to be with me at all. And then there’s nothing else I could ever do. No words I could say to you to get me through the wall if you don’t want to fall, if you don’t want to fall.

Hindi Wala 

Performed by Juris

Hindi pwede, walang kwenta. Mabuti pang lumayo nalang. Bawat hakbang na paatras, nais ng puso’y kabaliktaran. Hindi dapat, walang pag-asa. Di uubra, walang mapapala. Ilang milyong hindi’t wala na ang narinig ko. Awang awa na ako sa aking puso pero di ko kayang hindi umibig sayo.

Napapaso na iyong araw pero di naman magawang bumitaw. Hindi dapat, walang pag-asa. Di uubra, walang mapapala. Ilang milyong hindi’t wala na ang narinig ko. Awang awa na ako sa aking puso pero di ko kayang hindi umibig sayo.

Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang gagawin. Gumuho ang lahat ng pangarap nang mabatid na wala na tayong pag-asang mabalik. Ilang milyong hindi’t wala na, ilang milyong hindi’t wala na ang narinig ko. Awang awa na ako sa aking puso pero di ko kayang hindi umibig sayo.

Hanggang Kailan

Performed by Angeline Quinto

Ng dumating ka sa buhay kong hilo, binigyan mo ng kulay ang puso kong ito. Bawat araw ay puno ng awit at tula. Pinalitan mo ng ngiti mga matang lumuluha. Hanggang kailan kita iibigin? Hanggang saan kita hahanapin? Kahit saan ka man naroroon ngayon sinta, magpakailan man pinapangako kong hihintayin kita.

Akala ko pagmamahal mo ay akin ngunit sa isang saglit ako pala’y iiwan din. Ako ba ay nagkulang? Ikaw ba ay sinaktan upang iwanan mo ang puso kong ngayon ay sugatan? Hanggang kailan kita iibigin? Hanggang saan kita hahanapin? Kahit saan ka man naroroon ngayon sinta, magpakailan man pinapangako kong hihintayin kita.

At kung sakali mang bumalik ka pa sa piling ko, tatanggapin kita na walang isusumbat sa iyo. Pinatawad na kita bago ka pa bumalik. Kahit kailan man ay di maglalaho itong aking pag ibig. Pag ibig. Hanggang kailan kita iibigin? Hanggang saan kita hahanapin? Kahit saan ka man naroroon ngayon sinta, magpakailan man kahit kailan pinapangako kong hihintayin kita.

Halik Sa Hangin 

Performed by Ebe Dancel and Abra

Ang ikli ng panahon na binigay sa amin. Pag-ibig na para lang isang halik sa hangin. Ang ikli ng panahon na binigay sa amin. Pag-ibig na para lang isang halik sa hangin. Sandali lang nabuhay ang pusong ito at ngayon nagdurugo. Dahil nga ngayon wala na ako doon, sa piling niya mayroon pag-asa pa ba? Sana lang ay magkaroon, isa pang pagkakataon na ibalik pa ang kahapon nung kasama ko siya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya.

Sabik na sabik na akong makasama siya. Gusto kong humalik sa labi at mga pisngi niya. Pwede bang ibalik pa yung pag-ibig naming dal’wa o wala na talaga? Dahil nga ngayon wala na ako doon, sa piling niya mayroon pag-asa pa ba? Sana lang ay magkaroon, isa pang pagkakataon na ibalik pa ang kahapon nung kasama ko siya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya.

Napakasakit ng dinaranas ko ngayon. Para bang ako’y sinaksak at sa puso ko’y binaon ang pinakamahaba at makalawang na balisong. Para din wala ng buhay ang katawan ko. Bulong ng bulong ng bulong ang hangin, tapusin ko na itong paghihirap ko. Mahirap harapin ang panahon kung wala na siya talaga sakin. Hindi ko na kaya yon. Kailangan ko yung pag-ibig na ibig ibigay noon, yung mga araw na may araw pa akong nakikita; bago nawala ang liwanag sa aking kapaligiran; bago pa nangyari na bumagsak ang aking mundo; bago nawasak ang lahat ng mga pinapangarap ko. Di ko na yata talaga kaya manatiling ganito. Naubusan na 'ko ng luha umiiyak ng dugo. At kahit masama sana maunawaan mo po, ayoko lang na masaktan sa tuwing maaalala ko nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya, nung ako ay masaya. Ang ikli ng panahon na binigay sa amin. Pag-ibig na para lang isang halik sa hangin.

Everything Takes Time 

Performed by Hazel Faith Dela Cruz

Hey little girl, what’re you up to? Put back that red lipstick. Put away that red dress. You might think it’s alright but no, not tonight. Don’t you know that it’s not time. You gotta wait a little longer, gotta get a little older. Don’t rush the things that’ll change coz everything takes time as every song needs a rhyme. And I know you want it now but you’ll get there somehow. Just let it all unfold. Tomorrow can’t be told. Take it slow and you’ll get more in time.

Hey little girl, what’re you up to? Tryin’ to do the things that grown ups do. You know you’re not ready. You’re making a mistake. Patience is a virtue and things have a rightful place. You gotta wait a little longer, gotta get a little older. Don’t rush the things that’ll change coz everything takes time as every song needs a rhyme. And I know you want it now but you’ll get there somehow. Just let it all unfold. Tomorrow can’t be told. Take it slow and you’ll get more in time.

There are times when it feels like it’s now or never. There are times when it feels like it’s gone forever. But don’t you worry there’s tomorrow. There’s tomorrow coz everything takes time as every song needs a rhyme. And I know you want it now but you’ll get there somehow. Just let it all unfold. Tomorrow can’t be told. Take it slow and you’ll get more in time coz everything takes time as every song needs a rhyme. And I know you want it now but you’ll get there somehow. Just let it all unfold. Tomorrow can’t be told. Take it slow and you’ll get more in time.

What’s the one thing you need to know when saying thank you?

[fortyandbeyond]

Dito

Performed by Jovit Baldivino

Sa panaginip ko’y kayakap ka ngunit sa'king paggising ay nagiisa. Maari bang muling silayan pa nang mapawi hapding nadarama. Nang mawalay ka sinta tumigl ang pagikot ng aking mundo, ng aking mundo. Dito sa puso ko ay nangangarap na sana’y makapiling mo. Sa umaga’t sa gabi laging maghihintay sa'yong pagbabalik dito sa puso ko.

Sadyang mapagdamot ang tadhana. Oras nati’y tila’y inagaw na. Limutin may naalala pa bawat saglit ako’y umaasa. Nang mawalay ka sinta tumigil ang pagikot ng aking mundo, ng aking mundo. Dito sa puso ko ay nangangarap na sana’y makapiling mo. Sa umaga’t sa gabi laging maghihintay sa'yong pagbabalik dito sa puso ko.

Dito sa puso ko ay nangangarap na sana’y makapiling mo. Sa umaga’t sa gabi laging maghihintay sa'yong pagbabalik dito sa puso ko.

Bumabalik Ang Nagdaan 

Performed by Jessa Zaragoza

Bakit kaya? Bakit mahal pa rin kita? Hanggang ngayo’y iniisip pa rin kita. Bakit ngayon pilitin mang limutin ka hinding hindi magagawang ako’y umibig sa iba? Bakit ngayong wala ka na bumabalik ang nagdaan? Alaala ka pag nagiisa, wala na ngang iba. Bakit ngayong wala ka na ang puso ko’y nagtataka? Bakit ako, ako’y iniwan na?

Tanggap ko na tuluyan ng wala ka na. Kahit hindi ko man mapadama’y mahal pa rin kita. Mahal pa rin kita. Bakit ngayong wala ka na bumabalik ang nagdaan? Alaala ka pag nagiisa, wala na ngang iba. Bakit ngayong wala ka na ang puso ko’y nagtataka. Bakit ako, ako’y iniwan na.

Sana ay pagbigyan mo. Ikaw pa rin ang nasa puso ko. Bakit ngayong wala ka na bumabalik ang nagdaan? Alaala ka pag nagiisa, wala na ngang iba. Bakit ngayong wala ka na ang puso ko’y nagtataka? Bakit ako ngayon, bakit ako ngayon, bakit ako, ako’y iniwan na? Ako'y iniwan nan.

40 Must-See Travel Tips That Will Change Your Life Forever

#1. Use a private or incognito window when booking flights and hotels online. Travel sites often track your visits and will raise the price simply because you’ve visited before. #2. Keep loose chargers and cables organized with a glasses case. #3. Use straws to carry travel-size amounts of skin care products. #4. Put a dryer sheet at the bottom of a suitcase to keep your clothes smelling fresh. #5. Use a spring from an old pen to protect chargers from bending and breaking. #6. Skip the long lines for airport bathrooms. It may seem like common logic, but the first bathroom in the terminal is the most crowded one. Use the next one to skip the long waits and save precious time. #7. Use a binder clip to protect the head of shaving razors. #8. If you forget your wall plug, charge devices through the USB slot on a TV. #9. Roll clothes, instead of folding, to save tons of baggage space. #10. If you have clothes that need to be folded, use tissue paper to keep them from wrinkling. #11. Use a pill container to keep jewelry organized and untangled. #12. Scan important documents before leaving for your trip. In the event of theft or misplacement, it comes in really handy to have extra copies of your passport, identification cards and flight itineraries that you can easily access on your smartphone or tablet. #13. Speed Up Going Through Security When going through security, stuff your small belongings like wallets, keys and phones into your bag before placing it on the conveyor belt. It eliminates the need for separate bins and saves you time. #14. Tuck your soap and wash cloth together with this easy-to-fold pouch. #15. A shower cap is an easy way to cover the bottoms of shoes. #16. Put smartphones in airplane mode to save battery and charge faster. #17. Keep your headphones from tangling by winding them around a binder clip. #18. Keep hair clips tidy with an empty Tic Tac container. #19. When packing, line collars with a belt to keep them crispy. #20. Sit in the seats near the wing of the plane for the least turbulence. The seats along the wings of a plane usually have the least amount of bounce when flying because it has more structural support. #21. Keep your travel-size containers and refill them, instead of buying new each time. #22. To use Google Maps offline, type “OK Maps,” and the visible area will save for future access. #23. Cram the most into your carry on. Vacuum sealed bags can save you a ridiculous amount of space in your carry on. Makes the need for checking a bag obsolete. #24. Instead of buying water at the airport, bring an empty bottle along and fill it up after passing security. #25. When reserving airline seats for 2 people, get the aisle and window. If no one takes the middle seat you get a full row, and if someone does, just ask to switch so you can sit next to your travel partner. #26. Pack your suit coats inside out to keep them clean and avoid creasing. #27. Wait to buy airline tickets until 3 p.m. on Tuesdays. Typically this is when the big Airlines reduce their fares in order to compete with the discount airlines like Southwest and JetBlue. If you’re looking to save some money, this is the time to buy. #28. Prevent messy spills in your luggage. Just unscrew the lids and place a simple patch of saran wrap on the top and screw them back on. This will prevent any liquids from ruining your trip. #29. Certain times are better for using the airplane bathroom. Since most airlines don’t let you stand in line for the restrooms, the best times to use it are right after the plane has leveled off and 15-20 minutes before landing. #30. Get the WiFi password for many establishments by checking the comments section of FourSquare. #31. Use your GPS when traveling abroad. If you’re traveling abroad without an international plan, turn on airplane mode and turn off data to use the GPS without connecting to the internet. Simply load the Google map of the area before heading out the hotel, and you’ve got a fully functional map to navigate the area. #32. Get a free cell phone charger if you forgot yours at home. Forget your charger? Often times hotel front desk’s will have a box full of chargers left by previous guests. #33. Skip the wait at the baggage claim. Even if it’s not, marking your bag with a fragile label leads to gentler handling by airport staff. Also, they’re often loaded on the top of the other luggage meaning it’s one of the first to come out at the baggage claim. #34. Save time packing on the go. Hanging organizers can be packed ahead of time making it really simple to slide into your suitcase and leave in a hurry. #35. Remove other tourist from your vacation photos. #36. Use ATMs instead of airport currency exchanges to save money. Many ATMs will offer much lower rates than what you can get from the airport currency exchanges. #37. Get free WiFi at airports When you’re at the airport, add “?.jpg” to the end of any URL to get around the ludicrously expensive WiFi. Alternatively, you can sit right outside an airport club lounge: Wi-Fi signals often glide through the walls. #38. For bonus points, travel with a power strip and be the airport hero. #39. As a treat to yourself, send yourself a postcard from each day of your travels It’ll be a nice treat to come home to and make the transition back to reality easier. #40. On your last day in a foreign country, collect all your loose money and give it to the homeless. Source: http://pulptastic.com/40-must-see-travel-tips-will-change-life-forever/
