This morning...

As I stepped out of our house at 3 a.m. to go to work, I looked up at the sky. I scanned its vastness for little stars, little traces of the night. But what welcomed my tired, sleepy eyes was the moon, so big, so bright. It was there, posted in the dark blue sky in its full magnificence. It made me smile. Made me feel that the day ahead is going to be a good one. Made me want to sing...sing this song I so loved when I was a child, a song long forgotten, revived in my memory only yesterday as I was listening to M.Y.M.P.'s CD...

KAILAN

originally by Smokey Mountain

revived by M.Y.M.P.

bakit kaya nangangamba

sa tuwing ika'y nakikita

sana nama'y magpakilala

ilang ulit nang nagkabangga

aklat kong dal'y pinulot mo pa

'di ka pa rin nagpakilala

bawat araw sinusundan

'di ka naman tumitingin

anong aking dapat gawin

bakit kaya umiiwas

binti ko ba'y mayrong gasgas

nais ko nang magpakilala

dito'y mayron sa puso ko

munting puwang laan sa'yo

maari na bang magpakilala

bawat araw sinusundan

'di ka naman tumitingin

anong aking dapat gawin

kailan...kailan mo ba mapapansin ang aking lihim

kahit anong aking gawin, 'di mo pinapansin

kailan...kailan hahaplusin ang pusong bitin na bitin

kahit anong gawing lambing, 'di mo pa rin pansin

dito'y mayron sa puso ko
munting puwang laan sa'yo
maari na bang magpakilala

bawat araw sinusundan
'di ka naman tumitingin
anong aking dapat gawin

kailan...kailan mo ba mapapansin ang aking lihim
kahit anong aking gawin, 'di mo pinapansin
kailan...kailan hahaplusin ang pusong bitin na bitin
kahit anong gawing lambing, 'di mo pa rin pansin

...kahit anong aking gawin, 'di mo pinapansin...

Haha...bear with me here, please. I really missed this song (and I really missed the conservative Geneva Cruz in her Pebbles hairstyle). This is one of the few songs that I really loved when I was a child. And I have forgotten about it...but Juris and Chin refreshed my memory. I was so kilg (!) when I heard it play on their CD. Nice! =)
