Ikaw sana
8:08 AM
Ikaw Sana - Ogie Alcasid
Sa buhay natin
mayroon isang mamahalin,
sasambahin.
Sa buhay natin,
mayroon isang
bukod tangi sa lahat,
at iibigin ng tapat.
Ngunit sa di sinasadyang
pagkakataon
at para bang ika’y nilalaro ng
panahon.May ibang makikilala
at sa unang pagkikita..
may tunay na pag-ibig na madarama.
Refrain:
Bakit ba hindi ka nakilala ng
ako’y malaya pa.
At hindi ngayon ang puso ko’y
may kapiling na.
Bakit ba hindi ka nakilala ng
ako’y nag-iisa.
Sino ang iibigin,
ikaw sana.
Di mo napapansin,
sa bawat araw na kasama mo sya,
kapiling ka nya.
Bawat sandali
punung-puno
ng ligaya’t saya,
damdamin ay iba.
At sa di sinasadyang
pagkakataon, at para bang ika’y nilalaro ng
panahon.
Bigla kayong nagyakap,
mga labi nyo’y naglapat,
ang inyong mga mata’y nagtatanong
at nangangarap.

mah pebolit Song Writer Ogie Alcasid
7:58 AM
By: Boy Abunda
Turn heartaches into monster hits. That’s Ogie Alcasid’s biggest contribution to humanity’s fight against global warming. Believe me his songs can make flowers bloom! “It’s a force that evokes so many emotions. It’s so easy to draw from it when I’m writing songs. Heartache sells more than falling in love. It’s like a wickedly bitter coffee that’s so devilishly delicious when you sip it first thing in the morning when you wake up,” Ogie enthuses.
Ogie Alcasid is the friend everyone wants to have. He is gentle, proper, funny. No, he doesn’t want to be taller. He’s tall, just smaller than Kobe Bryant. Everything about Ogie is big. “Small brother” is a misnomer to someone who has gigantic presence and charisma. Ogie proved that the ordinary can be extra-ordinary with tenacity, hard work, focus and a burning desire to be the best. And a huge talent that he nurtures with love and respect for his public. “I do think about my public when I write my songs. I will never write anything that is vulgar, or demeaning and derogatory.”
“Songwriting for me is like painting to a painter. I will start something and if I can’t feel the flow, I will discard it and continue writing another day. If the creative juice gets going then I finish a song in one sitting.”
Try listening to Ogie’s songs and you will hear him tell a story that is so familiar because very often it is your story. Then you become friends because he articulates what your heart wants to say. His musical discourse is so Pinoy; his songs are the anthems of friends, neighbors, and countrymen who are battered by storms, jilted by lovers, violated by satanic fuel prices, broken by unfulfilled promises - but hopeful, always hopeful. His songs both warm and rend the heart. They’re honest, surprising and fun. Asked about his top 5 all time favorite songs that he composed, he wrote the following:
1. Kailangan Kita – it is sweet and loving. A very personal song that is close to my heart.
2. Ikaw Ang Aking Pangarap – my song to Regine
3. Wag Ka Lang Mawawala- a song that reminds me of the inner turmoil that I had during a very difficult time in my life
4. Panginoon – my personal prayer to our heavenly father
5. I Will Be Here – my song to my children
Look at his choices carefully. You wouldn’t miss how personal he is with his musical poetry. They chronicle his journey. They capture his story so eloquently and somewhere in his songs, he tells every man’s story. And you are comforted or inspired because your words are his, his words are yours. He says love is God without being messianic. And if he were an animal, he would be a dog because he would be man’s best friend.
Ogie’s odyssey hasn’t always been easy. He barged into the music industry armed with enormous talent and an unwavering faith that a dream was going to come true. He’s always wanted to be a singer/composer. Amidst rough sailing, he stuck to his guns, fired them without hesitation when necessity called for it – survived and halleluiah, made it.
He took risks both personally and professionally. When music genres changed quicker than a blink, he continued to write songs of the heart. When the airwaves were dominated by angstsy, angry music, he stuck to his stories of love. He remained genteel amidst belligerent Trojan warriors, never doubting, never hesitating, never trembling.
Ogie always knew the core of his music. And this is his fundamental strength.
On the personal side, like all of us, he loved, lost, cried, laughed, stumbled. He came out wounded, scarred, broken and alive – humbled, happy, wiser, and sexier. And yes, Ogie is sexy.
Ogie Alcasid is a better man because of his music. His music is better because he is a better man.
He loves to talk about his music. “The hardest piece I wrote was the music for the animation movie, Urduja. The easiest would be Kailangan Kita. It just flowed. Some of the songs that I wrote in a lonely state of mind would be Wag Ka Lang Mawawala, Kahit Na Malayo Ka, Kung Mawawala Ka, Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang, Ikaw Sana. Some of the songs I wrote in my happy state would be, “Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigan Ka, Mahal Kita Walang Iba, Kailangan Kita and Ikaw Ang Aking Pangarap.” What about fame which can be toxic? What has it done to him?” “It has humbled me. I feel indebted to every person that has had the experience of watching my shows or buying my music.”
He continues to be a devoted father to his lovely kids.
If you were a song, what would you be, I whispered. “I’m Handog by Florante. Tatanda at lilipas din ako, ngunit may awitin….”
And I say, Bravo Ogie and THANK YOU.
Last question, does size matter? Or should I be asking Ogie this question? I think I should reserve this for someone small.

Why Is Self-Esteem Important?
How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives. People who feel that they are likable and lovable (in other words people with good self-esteem) have better relationships. They are more likely to ask for help and support from friends and family when they need it. People who believe they can accomplish goals and solve problems are more likely to do well in school. Having good self-esteem allows you to accept yourself and live life to the fullest.
Steps to Improving Self-Esteem
If you want to improve your self-esteem, here are some steps to start empowering yourself:
Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself. If you're used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them. When you catch yourself being too critical, counter it by saying something positive about yourself. Each day, write down three things about yourself that make you happy.
Aim for accomplishments rather than perfection. Some people become paralyzed by perfection. Instead of holding yourself back with thoughts like, "I won't audition for the play until I lose 10 pounds," think about what you're good at and what you enjoy, and go for it.
View mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. Mistakes are part of learning. Remind yourself that a person's talents are constantly developing, and everyone excels at different things — it's what makes people interesting.
Try new things. Experiment with different activities that will help you get in touch with your talents. Then take pride in new skills you develop.
Recognize what you can change and what you can't. If you realize that you're unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, then start today. If it's something you can't change (like your height), then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.
Set goals. Think about what you'd like to accomplish, then make a plan for how to do it. Stick with your plan and keep track of your progress.
Take pride in your opinions and ideas. Don't be afraid to voice them.
Make a contribution. Tutor a classmate who's having trouble, help clean up your neighborhood, participate in a walk-a-thon for a good cause, or volunteer your time in some other way. Feeling like you're making a difference and that your help is valued can do wonders to improve self-esteem.
Exercise! You'll relieve stress, and be healthier and happier.
Have fun. Ever found yourself thinking stuff like "I'd have more friends if I were thinner"? Enjoy spending time with the people you care about and doing the things you love. Relax and have a good time — and avoid putting your life on hold.
