Rolling In The DEEP This FEBRUARY ♥

Going over and over a song inspired by a heart break, does not always mean you are still hurting over a past love that unfortunately did not work out. Though it is true that belting out a sad love song help you ease up the pain  and crying over it brings some soothing therapy -- sometimes having it on repeat  when things are steady sailing works too. 


 It reminds you that hurt is temporary, that though you've been through the hell of hearts and scars were left from your broken heart - you'll soon be better, you'd eventually move on, learn and be happy again. Scars are left to remind you that love is a battlefield; you win some and you loose some -- That fighting and enduring those battles will lead you to the the ONE that is meant to make you understand why it never worked-out with anybody else. ♥


Adele's Rolling In The Deep HITS the RIGHT SPOT --> The scars of your love, remind me of us - they keep me thinking that we almost had it all. You guys surely know the rest of the song. Click on the Grammy's Video below, listen with your heart -- Happy Heart's Month, Love is not just for a Day's Celebration, it should be Shared, Showed and Celebrated in all of our days.

Charisma's Crazy Beautiful 2011

I have always wanted to do a year-ender-photo-blog, but I though was a writer since college and a photografreak from the longest time imaginable - I was never really able to to do and publish one. Well, today, when I am actually doing one, I have come to realize that 2011 is the best year to start with.. True that reflection happens every end of each year, and as we turn in the calendar we always say that the year we are about to bid good bye to is by far the best year -- however, for Charisma Torres; 2011 is truly one heck of a Memorable, Perpetually Pinned to my Life's Timeline, Crazy Beautiful Year. 

To call it a roller-coaster is an understatement, its more a Yin-Yang-ish kind of year; I had the worst first half and an awesome year's end; truly a manifestation of the Big Man Up Above's Promise of Love, Favor, Restoration and that He can turn one's mourning into dancing. 

My dad having a heart problem, a deeply broken heart, and my best friend leaving for SG to take on a permanent job sprayed my January 2011 with dark shades of grey. It was then followed by scares and an accident that almost cut my life's journey to an untimely ending.

But just when I thought that my year is directed towards a dooms-day fail, it did a sudden somersault which geared me to face the sky over troubled waters, where a perfectly painted rainbow was there waiting to greet me.

My career went heading the direction I've wanted and signed conformes from clients when shooing in, my family was graciously blessed with our property dealings, participated in the MVP Olympics and Ms. PLDT & won 1st runner up, my dad was completely healed, and my heart has been freed from hate and hurting; it is once again ready to truly love and freely live. I was able to write again and read my verses out loud. Also, I have been blessed with the opportunity to relax and travel, meet and gain a few real friends, re-unite old friendships and just spend time with the family + our latest added member, Sushi; my 2 month old baby ShiTzu. Oh, and I have two tattoos; on my back inked in black is the Hebrew of Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven and  inked in white, place on my right arm to remind me that truly, one must Live the Life you Love ♥

Here are my 2011 highlights -- to all those who have faithfully stayed come sunny days or rock bottom; you guys are the best and am truly blessed to have you in my life, to the new friendships; with no doubt you guys have brought color and bliss to my year -- here is to the year that was and to the year that God is about to bless us with - cheers! :)

You Give Me Something ♥

I am sooo loving James Morisson for this Track --- >> For every piece of me that wants you, Another piece backs away.. 'Cause you give me something, that makes me scared, alright.. This could be nothing.. But I'm willing to give it a try.. <3

YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING


You want to stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
Now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart

You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart

But it might me a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Gonna come out anyway

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something

'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

Soundtracking to BEATS by DR. DRE :)

MUSIC is LOVE.

Also, in more cases than not LOVE is best expressed through MUSIC. Music goes about our mood, often sets the course of the day's outlook and even the whole TRIP's (if your travelling; drive trip/flight) disposition. Music is your souls echo, music joins you in missery and sails you through the ocean's motion of bliss.

In short, MUSIC is LOVE and having said that, I obviously LOVEMUSIC <3

For the Music afficionados who are willing to get themselves specially crafted headphones, you can NEVER go wrong with MONSTER :)

Am such a Happy Happy Chachie, last year someone dearto me gave me the tour in ear beats by dr. dre for my 24th irthday. And for this Christmas, from my dear OJT friends and his bestfriend, I got myself a studio over ear beats :)

Lets keep the MUSIC BEATing, Happy 2011 You all, Cheers to Music, Cheers to Love :)

Soundtracking House Craze Mix

I was never really a fan of House Music. But recently, even before the Avicii Craze - i got so into it that its my constant chillax earphones music in the office whenever i need to breathe in and out the stress of the workday. More so after Avicii coming over the country (yes, I missed his repupliq stint, boo!)  am all over the Internet searching for even the not so freshly mixed house music.


Moony's Pinklife -- Samantha Jone's Rise -- Maria Nayler's Naked and Sacred -- Astro Nuts' As Strong As the Sun -- Avicii's Fade Into Darkness, Levels and Rapture, Ooh Love <3

I Want You

Cee-Lo Green's I Want You has been my weekend mindPOD on repeat soundtrack and I cannot fight the urge to share and publish this track with the lines that struck the spot. 

".. and I want you, to run a way with me and experience something true
 -anything you've already done just won't do, I want you.. 
and I want you, to genuinely and sincerely want me too 
- you can believe in me baby don't be cruel, 'cause I want you.." ♥

Heartbeat ♥♥

*mindPOD Now Playing*

 

(You're stealing my heart away..) I don't know where were going, I don't care who we are.. Feels like we are flowing.. High above the stars..

I saw you talking on the phone, I know that you are not alone
But you steal my heart away, Yeah you steal my heart away


You’re acting like you’re on your own, But I saw you standing with a girl
Stop tryn’ to steal my heart away, Stop tryn’ to steal my heart away


I don’t know where we going I don’t know who we are


I can feel your heartbeat x2, He said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, Running through me
Feel your heartbeat, She said
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, Running through me
Heartbeat, Feel your heartbeat


Maybe it’s the way you move, You got me dreaming like a fool
That I can steal your heart away, I can steal your heart away


No matter what it is you think, I’m not the kind of girl you think
And give my heart away -- Stop tryin’ steal my heart away


I don’t know where we going, I don’t know who we are


I can feel your heartbeat, He said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, He said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, Running through me
Heartbeat
Feel your heartbeat, She said
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, Running through me


Stop stealing my heart away x3
You’re stealing my heart away


I don’t know where we going, I don’t know who we are
Feels like we are flowing, High above the stars

The stars, the stars, the stars


I can feel your heartbeat, He said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, He said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, Running through me
I can feel your heartbeat, She said
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat, Running through me
Heartbeat, Feel your heartbeat


Stop stealing my heart away (Talk to me girl)
Stop stealing my heart away (Give it to me boy)
Stop stealing my heart away (Say it to me girl)
You’re stealing my heart away


Stop stealing my heart away x3

Your heartbeat.

UNDISCLOSED DESIRES

I know you've suffered, But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless, I won't let you be denied

Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers, That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner, But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me, Show me how it's done
Trust me, You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart



**ADDICTED TO MUSE

Yes, I cannot get you out of my head..

SWEET DISPOSITION, undeniably, you are my long weekend LSS. Might re-watched 500 Days of Summer later because of you.

Sweet DispositionNever to soonOhh wreck less abandonLike no onesWatching you
A moment, a love, a dream, aloudA kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs
So stay thereCause i'll be coming overAnd while our bloods still youngIt's so young it runsWe wont stop till it's overWon't stop to surrender
Songs of desperationI played them for you
A moment, a love, a dream ,aloudA kiss, a cry, our rights, ours wrongs
A moment ohh...
So stay thereCause i'll be coming overAnd while our bloods still youngIt's so young it runsWe won't stop till its overWon't stop to surrender
A moment, a love, a dream, aloudA kiss, a cry, our rights, ours wrongs
