Dear John SERIES

(Dear) John:my version. Hello Stranger. aPART

John,

he was one lucky guy. But he lost me yet again. And I lost him. But this time, I'm letting it go. I'll just let things happen as they happen.

Fate has its ways. I might find another man. Or I might even find him again. Whatever I might find, I know I'll find. Someone and something worth everything. I'll find myself too. I'll rediscover what I want. I'll rediscover who I am. And maybe even find and rediscover God. Who knows?

Then if John comes back, we'll see. If he doesn't, he doesn't.

I just want something more out of life, love, and everything. And if I can't get that, I pause and listen to the music. I like broken chords. They keep life interesting. Broken chords do make beautiful music when played right. But if the broken chords sound more like broken strings of an out of tune guitar, then I'll change it. Change not the guitar; Change how it's tuned. And although I don't know everything, I know that that's kinda like how life, love, and everything works. And that's why I let him go.

I want a change.

I want depth. I don't want something that is "just not enough"...

I'll change the game. Because I want to.

Oh John and I did have fun.

But the game is over. I'm a little bored and a little heartbroken (I never was 'til now). Now I'm changing the name of the game, the rules and how it's played.

John, you were no mistake. It's just how we played the game.

It's time to tune the guitar, Boo.

Hello stranger.

Six Stars - ANDREA

Thank you life for bein' a b*tch.

Life AND Love and what I know.

Life has its way of talking to you. You'll know it when it hits you hard and makes your world stop for a moment. It has to stop for a moment. Because you need to pause. Because you need that "moment" to breathe. Because you need that "moment" to learn. Because you need that "moment" to grow.

Without that "moment", you'll find yourself stuck in reverse.

So thank life. Thank life for how it knocks you down, breaks your heart, and makes you hate it. Life just wants to talk to you, so listen. Then get up, smile, live and love again.

Thank you life for bein' a b*tch.

Love,

ANDREA

KAOS, a CRAZY GOOD show!

I just watched the spectacular international Las Vegas meets Broadway one-of-a-kind musical spectacle with real wild cats (a lion and tigers), adorable dogs, motorcycles, fire and intense (DEADLY) stunts--KAOS! I lost count of the times I said, "Woah!" and "Wow." and *gasp* EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING! Breathtaking! Stunning set! Beautiful lights!

Bravo to the producer, director, designers, performers, entire cast (with acrobats and performers from Europe, Canada, Germany, our own Philippine All Stars, The Manila Symphonic Orchestra, and my voice coach Jemuel Victorino)!

The BEST show ever. KAOS, A CRAZY GOOD SHOW! Don't miss this thrilling spectacle. I did LOVE it A LOT!

KAOS @ Resort World Manila, Newport Performing Arts Theatre

The Baliktad Song "Alala Gam Gaw" - Andrea Moredo, Ling Lava

Wrote a song for Philippine Music with some of the most talented people I know (Ling Lava, Mel Rono and Nadine Ratcliffe). I accidentally deleted the video with percussions and piano. So here's one with the guitar. Hopefully, we get to record our performance of this song on Thursday.

Can't understand the lyrics? It isn't a foreign language, nor is it a dialect. The title is a giveaway. Figure it out and enjoy.

Lyrics:
Alala Gam Gaw

Verse:Em7-CM7
Chorus:CM7-D-Em7

Namanan ak naya
Yopa ng oralalgan
Gnal ka natkasasam
Noon ng dalut

Oh
Kayiimu ak tab
Nay om ayak

Ok asaban
lasad ngom yalani nga
Lahamamgap
Naapayapak, asagap

Oh
Kayumii ak tab
Nay om ayak

Oh
Kayumii ak tab
Nay om ayak

Alala gam gaw
Alala gam gaw
Alala gam gaw
Alala gam gaw

Dear John SERIES

Dear John,

It's such a shame for us to part. No one ever said it would be this hard. Oh take me back to the start.

Sincerely,

You're amazing just the way you are. But I'm tired of slow dancing in a burning room because I'm scared you'll forget about me. I want you mine, faithfully.

NO COMMENTS, PLEASE.

Dear John: my version. Edge of Desire, The Only Exception. EXTENDED PART dONE

Dear John,

Skip intro.

Speechless.

I get less of what I want, and more of what I don't want.

I don't know what else say.

Sincerely,

Like what you said, "...life is a series of do's and don't's. And how you think and your motives dictate your choices."

P.S. Don't "rock my world" merely to keep that "bad vibes you so hate" away like you do to them. Don't be selfish. Don't make me like them. Because I'm not. Spare me.

If you need a shoulder to lean on though (although I know you're not the type), just say so.

There, we just said it. Just come back when you want me so bad.

Merry Christmas Dear (or not) John. I'll miss you (although I'll try not to).

Oh, and thank you.

NO COMMENTS, PLEASE.

Dear John: my version. Half of my heart. EXTENDED PART 1

Dear John,

You know how it goes. This is not meant for you to read. Nor is it for others to. It's merely for my silently screaming heart that's been dying to... well, um, to just say what she needs to say. But if you happen to come across this note... then you do. Don't make a fuss out of it.

You know why it's (and I quote) "unfair"? Because I know you could do so much better.

You willingly exerted all your efforts on the countless girls you've dated. From her to her to whoever "her" was. I would know. And that's totally okay. But where is that now? It's playing hide and seek.

Then again, we don't know what we are and we're bound to no expectations. So I can't blame you.

I just know you could do so much better. You just don't want to. And I don't know why.

Don't get me wrong though. I'm having fun.

With half of my heart,

Me
