Hi Cinderella,
I'm really sorry but I don't do tags, memes and awards. I have my own reasons for blogging and I don't want to miss out on anybody I will not tag or give an award to. I treat everybody with the same attention and respect and I don't want to offend anybody. I hope you understand and we can still be friends. Thanks for your visit and your comment. God bless you and your family always.

Maddy said...

aha! there you are. I don't know if you've noticed but when you leave a comment on my blog for some reason it doesn't leave your URL behind - that's something that you might want to look into as it makes it hard for people to find you.
Cheers

Thanks for sharing Mel.Both songs are lovely.The 'Anak' is so sweet and brings 'parents-kids' relationship so meaningful.

Have a gr8 w/end and may you and family always be blessed.Keep smiling.

p/s Mel..the answer for the question 'who am I' is HABIT.I was almost think the answer is subconscious mind as well...

Hi Elween,
Thanks for dropping by and for your comment. Tell Me was sung by Joey Albert and composed by her former boyfriend- Louie Ocampo. They shared one of the greatest tandem in Pilipino music during the time of their collaboration. I hope you are doing well in your new teaching job. God bless you and your family always.

Hi Maddy,
Thanks for your visit and for your comments too. I'll check it out since this is the fist time I ever heard that complaint. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out to me. God bless you and your family as well as your wonderful ministry to autistic children.

Hi Anjuli,
Thanks for your visit and your wonderful comments too. I really appreciate that. I hope your relationship with your own parents are alright now. I will be praying for you and your family. God bless you and your family always.

Hi Noushy,
Thanks for your visit and for your wonderful comments as well. Anak was probably one of the first truly international Filino hit song in the international market. I've heard that there were many translated version of that song. It speaks of parents and son relationship. So the answer to your poser was habit. Well, I tried to guess it. Thanks again. God bless you and your family always. Your friendship is truly refreshing my dear friend.

Hi Shashi,
Thanks for your visit and for your concern. I'm alright and doing very well. I have visited your blog but I can't seem to make a comment because you made it a little bit complicated to make a comment. I hope you will just simplify the process of commenting with your post. Thanks again. God bless you and your family always.

Love this song (2).
I found English version:

When you were born into this world
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true
The answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried
They're at your side to care

Child, you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

How many seasons came and went
So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast
And now at last you're strong

Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind
Why do you find them wrong

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain't sure what to do or say
You're so alone
No friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go
Their arms stay open wide


Thanks for this wonderful song.

I'll be listening first song.

Thanks Mel for posting this sad, but beautiful song "Tell me".

I have always wonderful time when I'm here.

Mel Avila Alarilla said...

Hi Krystyna,
The first song was the English version of the song Anak. It was very popular and was translated into several languages. The second song was very popular in the Philippines although it was not released internationally. Filipinos are very good at singing. It is second nature for Filipinos to sing. Thanks for your visit. God bless you and your family always.
