My list (in no particular order)
• God-fearing
• street-smart (if intellectual type naman, dapat down-to-earth pa rin)
• mature ('yung alam mong may pinagkatandaan)
• someone who would surprise me every once in a while (kahit simple things, mababaw lang naman ako)
• financially stable (I wouldn't want to tire myself up and be wrinkly even before I turn 40)
• single (syempre naman!)
• physically, dapat taller than me and presentable (no offense, pero dapat hindi mukhang gusgusin at tambay sa kanto; right ko naman mamili)
• clean and nice-smelling (ayoko ng strong perfume and nakakahilong aftershave)
• someone who will make me feel loved; more than the love I have for him (for me, dapat ganun palagi ang pakiramdam coz mas secure ang feeling)
• someone who's not afraid to say what he feels (regardless if masaktan pa nya ako, as long as it's genuinely true)
• may pakialam sa mundo (not just current events but more on things that really matter, and he does his share in his own little way)
• a good conversationalist (ayoko dumating sa point na maubusan kami ng topic)
• someone who can make me laugh (not at the expense of others, but making sure he entertains me the only way he could)
• understanding in every sense of the word (my life is complicated as it is)
• someone who could travel with me to places I've never been to (kahit Philippines lang, madali naman akong kausap)
*Wishful thinking lang naman ito, and I am willing to compromise... ;)

begin to hope
Last month, I found myself humming a certain tune over and over. Funny, but I actually turned to my niece who's actually a radio buff herself. The song, she said, was "SAMSON", from Regina Spektor's Begin to Hope album, and it has been in constant play in Philippine radio for the last few weeks.
Where exactly did I hear this song? I remember clearly my friend Mitch was singing that song while we were at the COA cottage in Baguio. But I am certain I have heard that somewhere else...
After searching on the Internet, I found out both FIDELITY (SIX DAYS, Part 2 episode) and ON THE RADIO (Damage Case episode) were used in Grey's Anatomy. Whew...I knew it! That's why her voice seem so familiar, huh!
When I bought her CD, I immediately fell in love with most of the songs. Aside from the three previously mentioned, I particularly like HOTEL SONG for its upbeat melody. Some songs sounded dull and eerie, though.
Other tracks in the album include BETTER, FIELD BELOW, APRES MOI, 20 YEARS OF SNOW, THAT TIME, EDIT, LADY, and SUMMER IN THE CITY.
Honestly, I still believe this is a great buy. Regina's music is unique; definitely a step ahead of the crappy pop songs produced lately.
On the other hand, I commend Grey's Anatomy for featuring rare talents in their show. From them the likes of Corinne Bailey Rae, The Fray, and Snow Patrol shot to fame. I have also discovered the music of Anna Nalick, Joshua Radin, and Rachael Yamagata through this show.
"You are my sweetest downfall..." (from the song SAMSON)
Hmmm, who could that be?
