Song Pick of the Week (Holy Grail by Jay-Z feat. Justin Timberlake)...

Saturday, October 26, 2013



Music has been an output of emotions of some sort for the longest time. I. myself is a self-confessed music lover. When I am down and low, music's my form of outburst. Turning off the whole world and concentrating on each lyrics makes me forget reality for a while and of course blogging. Burying myself to both blogging and listening to music is a panacea of sort. A way to involve my mind completely so it wouldn't allow me to think of all the heartaches and negativity surrounding me. (Do I need to mention, that both allows me as well to forget my stressful work environment?)

And since I am a music lover, I dig all genres; from my love for reggae and jazz, rock and roll could be also be cool, heavy metal, pop, classic love songs and underground music. But as my friend Bows once stated, no matter what type of music I listen to, I can never deny the fact that blazin' Hip Hop and RNB would always and I mean always runs in my blood.

Who am I to deny the fact mentioned above? I grew up listening to MC Hammer, Notorious BIG, Tupac, Mo Thugs, Bone Thugs and Harmony, TQ, P.Diddy and Jay-Z. Not to also state that my group of guy friends also dig this type of music. Influential as it may seem that my sister likes them too.

So when I've heard of this new song from Jay-Z entitled Holy Grail, I couldn't resist the urge to post it here in my blog as my song pick of the week. After all, Jay-Z's been one of the best rapper ever (this is my opinion, so back-off haters) and the mere fact that he had a colab with Justin Timberlake made me drool more.

Holy Grail tackles about; how both Jay-Z and J.T loved and hated fame. And yes, this song has proven to be one of the best blazin' Hip Hop and RNB released this year. (Isn't its status as one of the top 100 in Billboards not proof enough). With its rhythm and beat, I'm sure you guys would love it as well.


Read through the lyrics if you may...


(Explicit Version)


[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
You take the clothes off my back
And I let you
You'd steal the food right out my mouth
And I watch you eat it
I still don't know why
Why I love you so much
Oh
(Thanks for warning me [2x])
You curse my name
In spite to put me to shame
Have my laundry in the streets
Dirty or clean
Give it up for fame
But I still don't know why
Why I love it so much
(Thanks for warning me [2x])
Yeah

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]
And baby
It's amazing I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day you screaming you love me loud
The next day you're so cold
One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care
You're so unfair sipping from your cup
Till it runneth over, Holy Grail

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
Bleu told me to remind you niggas
Fuck that shit y’all talkin' about
I'm the nigga, caught up in all these lights and cameras
But look what that shit did to Hammer
God damn it it I like it
bright lights is enticing
But look what it did to Tyson
All that money in one night
30 mill for one fight
But soon as all the money blows, all the pigeons take flight
Fuck the fame, keep cheating on me
What I do, I took her back, fool me twice
That's my bad, I can't even blame her for that
Enough to make me wanna murder
Momma please just get my bail
I know nobody to blame
Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake]
And we all just entertainers
And we're stupid, and contagious
Now we all just entertainers

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]
And baby
It's amazing I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day you screaming you love me loud
The next day you're so cold
One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care
You're so unfair sipping from your cup
Till it runneth over, Holy Grail

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Now I got tattoos on my body
Psycho bitches in my lobby
I got haters in the paper
Photo shoots with paparazzi
Can't even take my daughter for a walk
See 'em by the corner store
I feel like I'm cornered off
Enough is enough
I'm calling this off
Who the fuck I'm kidding though?
I'm getting high
Sitting low
Sliding by
In that big body
Curtains all in my window
This fame hurt
But this chain works
I think back
You asked the same person
If this is all you had to deal with
Nigga deal with
It, this shit ain't work
This light work
Camera snapping, my eyes hurt
Niggas dying back where I was birthed
Fuck your iris and the IRS
Get the hell up off of your high horse
You got the shit that niggas die for
Dry yours
Why you mad
Take the good with the bad
Don't throw that baby out with the bath water
You're still alive
Still that nigga
Nigga you survived
You still getting bigger nigga
Living the life
Vanilla wafers
In a villa
Illest nigga alive
Michael Jackson's, Thriller

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]
And baby
It's amazing I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day you screaming you love me loud
The next day you're so cold
One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care
You're so unfair sipping from your cup
Till it runneth over, Holy Grail

[Bridge]
You get the air out my lungs whenever you need it
And you take the blade right out my heart just so you can watch me bleeding
I still don’t know why
Why I love you so much
(Thanks for warning me [2x])
Yeah
(Thanks for warning me)
And you play this game in spite to drive me insane
I got it tattooed on my sleeve forever in ink with guess whose name
But I still don't know why
Why I love it so much, yeah.
(Thanks for warning me [2x])

[Hook]
And baby
It's amazing I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day you screaming you love me loud
The next day you're so cold
One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care
You're so unfair sipping from your cup
Till it runneth over, Holy Grail

Don't know why...

Britney Spears Is Back Bitch...

Tuesday, October 22, 2013



Pop Culture has been the trend since the 80's. We've all been a witness on how Pop Culture evolved overtime. There have been a lot of singers who gained their fame because of the said culture. There's Christina Aguilera, Katy Pery, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus to name a few. They are all successful and their stars are still shining. With all the blahs and rumors of their success, one singer has remained silent but guess what? She's definitely back and is here to stay. Pop is not pop without the Pop Princess herself Britney Spears.

I, myself am a Britney Spears fan, and hearing Work Bitch makes me go gaga over her all over again. With its upbeat tone and sly lyrics, who couldn't say no listening to this song. This is a thrilling, thunderously bold slice of forward-thinking dance-pop sound. (Kudos to Will.I.Am for not sabotaging Brit with a total dud sound-insert LOL here)


That being said, Work Bitch is a massive return to the limelight (not that Brit's star ever fade away), and an unbelievably exciting way to kick off a brand new Pop era (not that she actually needs a “comeback”). It’s deliriously unhinged and completely in control all at the same time. It sounds like both everything and nothing on the radio — it’s a music innovation. Most definitely, one of the most exciting pop singles of the year.

Work Bitch reaffirms Britney Spears position on the throne, and proves just why she is the best and called the Pop Princess: We have never and will never have to worry about her musical output, because Britney Spears is the most consistent singer of amazing pop music in the world.


Now get to work bitch and read the lyrics...



You wanna...
You wanna...

You wanna hot body
You wanna Bugatti
You wanna Maseratti
You better work bitch

You wanna Lamborghini

Don't stop now just be the champion
Work it hard like its your profession

Big beat to blast off

No time to quit now
Just time to get it now
Pick up what I'm puttin down
Pick up what I'm puttin down

You wanna hot body
You wanna Bugatti
You wanna Maseratti
You better work bitch

You wanna Lamborghini
Sip martinis
Look hot in a bikini
You better work bitch

You wanna live fancy
Live in a big a mansion
Party in France
You better work bitch
You better work bitch
You better work bitch
You better work bitch

Now get to work bitch
(aaaaa oohhh)
Now get to work bitch
(aaaaa ohhhh)

Break it off
Break it down
See me coming
You can hear my sound

Tell somebody
In your town
Spread the word
Spread the word

Go call the police
Go call the governor
I bring the trouble
Don't mean to trouble ya

I make it bubble up
Call me the bubbler
I am the bad bitch
The bitch that you're lovin' up

Hold your hand high
Fingers to the sky
They gon try to try ya
But they cant deny ya
Keep it movin higher
And higher
Keep it movin higher

So hold your hand high
Fingers to the sky
Now they dont believe ya
But they gonna need ya
Keep it movin higher

Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out,
Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out,
Work it out, work it out, work it out,
Work it out, work it out, work it out

You better work bitch
You better work bitch

Song Pick For The Week...

Sunday, October 20, 2013

My friend Chillah introduced me to this band Ou Est Le Swimming Pool last year and I must say that their songs caught my attention. This is far by my most favorite song ever... You Started tackles about finding love, loosing it and regaining it back... Hope you enjoy reading the lyrics as much as I do...


Oh see, you caught a side that
I am care free, let out the cage see
There's a better me, I wonder why I let
The nerves take hold of me this time
I regret this 'till I die

What you waiting for
Who's your secret call
I stop to sigh
I can't deny
That I be missing you more,
What you waiting for
Who's your secret call
I stop to sigh
I can't deny
That I be missing you more

You have started
the beginning of my life
So take a moment to decide
What you thought is
You picked a different side
I'm so relieved that side is mine

And now stay
Let's leave the past it's time to get away
A better start to help another day
I realise the pain that you've been through
Fuck mine
Jesus please don't cry

What you waiting for
Who's your secret call
I stop to sigh
I can't deny
That I been missing you more
What you waiting for
Who's your secret call
I stop to sigh
I can't deny
That I be missing you more

You have started
The beginning of my life
So take a moment to decide
What you thought is
You picked a different side
I'm so relieved that side is mine

And now she thinks she's clever
She tries to pick my brain
I'm clouded over wether
These feelings still remain

Get out she goes
Get out she goes
Get out she goes
But I won't go

You have started
The beginning of my life
So take a moment to decide
What you thought is
You picked a different side
I'm so relieved that side is mine

You have started
The beginning of my life
So take a moment to decide
What you thought is
You picked a different side
I'm so relieved that side is mine

You have started
The beginning of my life
So take a moment to decide
What you thought is
You picked a different side
I'm so relieved that side is mine

Sun Valley PTA Mass Oath Taking

Been MIA for quite a long time. And since I can't seem to find sleep I decided to post this back entry.

I seldom go to PTA's and stuffs. Not that I'm not supportive of my niece but I think its my sister's responsibility to take good care of that field but when I found out that my sister (for the first time in her life) joined a dance competition for her daughter, right then and there I decided that I will definitely watch her compete... And true enough, she (or should I say all of them - insert LOL here) delivered... For the first time in 10 years, Barangay Culdesac Day Care Center was declared the champion...


Enough of the talk... Let me just share some pictures with you...




My sister Arianne's kinda nervous...

Are we ready to get the show starting?!?

Color coordinated...

Smile, before your BAO dance part...




My cutie niece Princess Jewel...

Jaca did a great job...

Waiting in vain...

Mrs. Palomata...

Barangay Captain Danny Santos is waiting patiently for the show to start...
