Love is like music. Life would go on without them but it would be lackluster and and somewhat shallow. Music like love, is what give substance and color to a life worth living. Ergo, the music fest on Facebook and here this past week. So maybe it is serendipitous that one of my love affairs online should come back on Valentine’s Day.

Blogkadahan, my online family is back with a vengeance and you can read about our love affair on our newly designed and revived site, thanks to our blogging goddess, Ate Sienna. We are a group of bloggers who felt a connection with each other through our blogs and we decided to get to know each other better away from our blogs. We first formed an email group on gmail. One thing led to another and we decided on a collaborative blog away from our individual ones. Blogkadahan was that baby.

My love affair online of course does not compare to my real life love affair to my husband of 18 years, and my three daughters. They are my life and when I think of love, they come foremost to mind. Most of the things I blog about are about them. With the re-opening of Blogkadahan, one of my old posts is reposted on the new site. This is my thanks for the loving man I am married to who continues to shower me with love and attention even after the craziness of eighteen years.

I was going to post this yesterday, on Valentine’s Day, but you know how real life always gets in the way of blogging sometimes. So how was your Valentine’s Day weekend?

I just realized as I was thinking up my favorite love songs, I noticed that a lot of them are associated with musicals or movies. So to finish up the Mama Mia! set I posted another favorite, Honey, Honey.

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you’re a love machine

Today, I’m moving on to another favorite movie, Moulin Rouge, and these are my two favorite love songs in the bunch:

How wonderful life is now you’re in the world
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you’re in the world

Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything

I’ve started a cheesy-and-not-so-cheesy-love-song fest on my Facebook page. Everyday until Valentine’s Day I will post some kind of love song that comes to mind. Some are my favorites, some I find funny and some hold special meanings for me. You can take your guess which category each song may fall in

I may not be the only one doing it because yesterday, I found a very cheesy one shared by someone else on Facebook. Unfortunately, it’s a Filipino song and not everyone may not be able to understand it, but you’ll get the idea if you watch the video.

OK, so here’s what I’ve posted so far…

Back when I was younger
And my feet were much more tender
I couldn’t stand to have them touched
I always had to keep them tucked

Then he came, he with the beautiful feet
He said come out in the sand and play
We played until the sand found the crevices between our toes
And the sun has painted them brown

Our feet have grown old together
They have walked miles beside each other
Walked behind each other
Chased each other at times kicked each other

But always they stood together
And when at the end of the day
They grew tired
They always find comfort in each other

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, EVERYONE!
