He Sees Us.




That he does.




     "For God alone my soul waits in silence." Psalm 62:1


      Just a little update: I just came back from our family trip to Pico De Loro. Up there is a little peek of how beautiful it is there. Also I have a dump-truck full of pictures to edit, and I need to finish two storyboards by tomorrow morning. So fun.

Directed, shot and edited by: David Molina
Song by: Richard "Ryoku" Matsuyama & Seed Bunye
Special Thanks to: Kat Pineda

Here are the lyrics:

Sweet Tooth

Chorus:
Jelly beans just aint enough
Tootsie rolls and other stuff
Cant seem to knock the socks off
My cravings boo
Cherry pies and creme brulee
Cant explain what i have to say to you
Cotton candy, too
Got a sweet tooth for you

Verse 1:
Now see I, cant help the way I feel when im with you baby
The sugar rush that you give me got me hyphy
Im sorry if im sounding just a bit cliche but
The feelin that i feel for you baby it aint lustIts a cravin, your lips are so amazin
Girl in this crazy world, honey you my safe heaven
You're a strawberry dipped in hot melted chocolate
Your sweet lovin girl, i cant get enough of it
I'm addicted to you, girl, like a chocoholic
I want too much of you i think i might be diabetic
Call the doctor, i got infatuationitus
Whenever im not with you, i consider that a crisis
So quit trippin, and lets cuddle the night away
Girl i would have you over anything on any day
Call me corny but i think i got a sweet tooth
You're my daily dose of sugar and i need you


(Repeat chorus)



Verse 2:


Is it just me, or is everything about you so complete?
You are my favorite song and I just want you on repeat
You and me, me and you, we a perfect match
So lets not waste our time, come around like cabbage patch
You got my mouth all watery, my jelly bean
Im eatin skittles, come taste the rainbow, 'nawmean
when i need a break, i dont need twix, i got you
You my honey and im an asian winnie the pooh
Im hooked on you and i dont need no intervention
You make me feel this feelin far beyond my comprehension
I want you so bad and i know you want me too
You make me nutty like honey glazed cashews
Im incomplete without you like an mnm without chocolate
What the hell you gon do with it?
Baby i just want you by my side my cherry pie
Youre so sweet, dont think i need to specify

(Repeat Chorus)


Verse 3:

L - she the Love of my Life, ill never let her go
O - Optimistic, Ostentatious, got an Overdose
V - Very vivacious, while she vicious and voluptuous
E - Energetic, Entertainin, and they Envy us
And thats what i feel about you girl, its all love
Love you, adore you, and its all of the above
I got a sweet tooth, only you can satisfy
I got a craving that, only you can pacify

Bridge:
Boo, got a sweet tooth for you
everything that you do
Makes you smile like a goof
Boo, got a sweet tooth for you
everything that you do
Makes me smile like a goof


(Repeat Chorus) 




     The only concern I had with this song is that it's sort of long. Haha. But I love this song nonetheless. When Richard came to me with the idea, I was sort of caught off guard because I wasn't really much of a song writer before. I had to come up with a song in a week and I panicked. I also just met Richard and I didn't know if we would have chemistry in terms of vocals, and the music. So I was pretty worried at first. Who knew it would turn out pretty well? 

Hope you guys like it. 

BTS SHOTS:















   Had so much fun recording the music video. We ate wicked oreos after and it was sweet.

As It Stands

Inspired by the hilarious Brittany from brittanyherself.com, I decided to get my hands dirty in blogging again. Not as often as I'd like, but I'm definitely trying again. Brittany wrote an "As It Stands" blog post and I thought it would be a great way to update my blog on how things are right now. It's also easier and more reliable to read than backtracking my twitter account when i'm old and wrinkly.

So here it goes...

As it stands, I am now Twenty-One.  I know right? It was just yesterday when I turned any number under 21. I always thought that when I reached my 20's I would know the definition of who I am. Spoilers: "Kids, in the year 2013 your uncle Lean (bestfriend) and I turned 21. And we were a couple of stressed out, sexy people who didn't know what to do with their lives. We thought it best to live in the moment, or as the kids our age said before, "Yolo." You're probably wondering what that word is, don't." I feel nothing different, I only know that i've been through a heck of a lot of wanted and unwanted experiences. Also, this is the first birthday I had without my Dad... Which leads me to my next standing.

As it stands, I'm slightly Fatherless. My Dad died. I know a lot of people were shocked. So if you haven't had the explanation yet, here's a shorter version. My Dad lived his life to the fullest, and it had certain repercussions. He liked to eat. He also had hereditary health concerns. So this got into that, and it was all just a jumble of things squashed into his human body, and it got too much. He had survived 2 major attacks in the passed 10 years. But he always rose up like a champ. Although we knew he was sick, we expected him to rise up like a champ yet again. So I was caught off guard when my brother dashed into the room punching the floor, saying "Wala na si Daddy." It was like the world was pulled from under me. He had been getting dialysis for about 2 years, and his kidneys failed that day. Everything happened so fast, and I was sad, but happy because he is way happier up there. It's hard. Losing a Dad. But you know what? Psalm 68:5 says "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows is God in His holy habitation." God never left us all through out. There was an unmistakable Godly peace that overtook our whole family. Life goes on, and we're living it. We miss him, and we're continuing his legacy at the church.

As it stands, I am a Junior. Well that was a little heavy. On to slightly happier news, I'm a Junior in the coming school year. Hurrah! Two more years of no sleep, coffee, and crazy deadlines. Two more years of fun, food, and crazy friends. I just actually finished summer school (to advance.) And it's tiring, but fulfilling. I actually learned how to animate stuff, and draw better. I think?

As it stands, my schedule has never been any busier. While the kids from my school were having fun in beaches, I was busy getting more involved in serious adult-work. My school recently partnered with Star Records to produce music videos for two of their artists. My friend Jasper (Award winning Director of Gayuma *naks*) and I were invited to join the production teams. It is very stressful, and the deadlines are crazy. But by the grace of God, I know we can get through this. Today I just got a call that we needed a full storyboard (that I have to draw) by monday. And the concept isn't even intact yet. Grabe lang. Also, i've been asked to photograph a ton of stuff, and sing or record at other places. I'm seriously crazy busy. 

As it stands, I am officially a part of the Worship Team. This is it guys. It's that moment we've all been waiting for... I PLAY GUITAR FOR THE MAIN WORSHIP TEAM NOW!! So, so happy! pretty soon, i'll be singing too. I've always wanted to commit, but I was never allowed because of the practice times. But now I am! And I feel all cool. 

As it stands, I got a weird rash from the outing today. The youth outing was today. And for the first time I wore shorts to an outing and I get a rash because of it. Other people get golden beautiful tans. I get a rash. P.S. there's a line. It looks like a tan, but it's not. It's not.

As it stands, the 24th of May in 2013 was one of the most entertaining days ever.  :">

As it stands, I am obsessed with 8 tracks. It is an app on my iPad. And I love it. 

As it stands, I have pink hair. Not all of it, just streaks. I've always wanted pink hair.

As it stands, I'm probably gonna enjoy the rest of this year. I just know it.

Where do you stand?
