Hi again people! I’d like to post the song entitled, “Walang Yaman”, which I sang for the GMA hit series, “Asian Treasures”. Many of you are probably familiar with this song already… so here’s a chance for you to sing along to the melody. For those who have not heard this song yet, I hope you enjoy listening to it for the first time!

Hello everyone!

After featuring a song a few days back called, “Kahit Mali Ang Puso” which I co-wrote for my debut album entitled, “Kung Alam Mo Lang”, I’d like to showcase the other songs included on it as well.

Each of these tracks mean a lot to me… they have also helped comfort friends during times of despair and hopelessness. I hope some of you will be able to relate to the messages these songs convey as well.

Hello friends! Please listen to a song included in my album entitled, “Kahit Mali Ang Puso”, a tagalog song which coincidentally I composed as well. I hope you enjoy listening to the track. Comments and messages are greatly appreciated!

KAHIT MALI ANG PUSO
Words by Garry Cruz
Music by Edwin MarollanoI

Minsan iniisip ko kung tama ba ito
Alam kong di pwede ngunit anong magagawa ko
Pigilan man ang puso ikaw pa rin ang sigaw nito
Wala na yatang papantay sa pag-ibig ko sa’yo

II

Di mo lang alam kung ga’no ako nasasaktan
Sa t’wing iniiwasan mo o pinagtataguan
Ngunit kaya kong magtiis aking naiintindihan
Wag ka lamang lalayo sa piling ko

(koro)

Kahit mali ang puso
Pilit kong tuturuan
Dahil tama ang pag-ibig na nararamdaman
Kung sakali mang di tayo ang magkatuluyan
Sapat na sa aking naging bahagi ka ng buhay ko

huh….oh….

(ulitin II at koro)

(tulay)

At kung maisip mo na ako pala ang mahal mo
Asahan mong hangggang wakas ang pagmamahal ko…..

(ulitin ang koro)

Kahit Mali Ang Puso..

12th Annual Asia-Pacific Excellence Awards

gc712 — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 08:46:58 +0000

Wow My first award given by the members of the 12th Annual Asia-Pacific Excellence Awards held last June 9, 2005 at the AFP Theater (Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City). This award is given to those individuals and companies who shows greatness and excellence in their own fields.

At first i was told to perform at the awards night. Though a bit nervous and excited i was not expecting anything and i know that i won’t be receiving any talent fee coz its a sponsor thing they said. Honored was i coz all the performers are famous and big celebrities. I was curious that night because all the artist who performed before me have received the award in their own categories. Then my time comes, after singing the EMCEE ask me to stay at the stage and to my surprise they awarded me THE BEST MALE DISCOVERY. I can’t believe it!! my very first, my heart i full of joy and overwelmed. I had nominations and citations before but this is something. Well, they gave it to me so all i can say is Thanks and Praise the Lord!
