Do you remember your high school days when you go ga-ga over love songs and just hearing one makes you more in love with being in love? When you sing (in your mind) and tap gently while finishing through the countdown on the school bus' radio? When catching the top 20 countdown on MTV or MYX was de rigeur while eating afternoon snacks at home? My friends and I used to print lyrics pa just so we could sing during breaks..sorry kids, there were no iPhones back then! Such was the power of songs over my young and impressionable heart.
Yes, yes...those feelings..I thought I was sooo done with them. But hearing this song, these kids and their voice..aaaahhh!!! I feel so loved up again! :) Amazing how I get goosebumps every time they open their mouth to sing. And si pareng John Legend, sooo talented song writer and singer too!
I guess being married now, makes this song all the more relatable. Feel na feel ko talaga. :) It's such a fitting anthem for married couples about knowing you'll be alright despite the challenges, finally settling (and not in the "pwede na" kind of way), accepting and loving each other fully.
And for what it's worth, this is the thing I remember most from my religion subject in high school. Our teacher said, "When you get married, it's not about giving 50% and expecting 50% from the other to make it whole. Rather, give your 100% even if the other can only give 10%...and pray. That way your love and relationship will always be blessed and full."

So dear readers, I hope you indulge me with this juvenile *kilig* feeling :) Enjoy!
ALL OF ME
John Legend
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh
