Listen, if I were a boy

Random

- Yesterday @ work, I got to start an IV by myself! Whew, it was really nerve-wracking doing at alone and thank God it was successful and patent! I feel so much competent nurse now! Yay!! It was special since we barely get the opportunity to start IV's in our unit unless the IV site infiltrates or gets dislodged.

- How funny, well not really funny..One of my Hispanic patients yesterday who had a C-section 3 days ago was supposed to get discharged. However though, when the husband came he said that they have no car, no cellphone, and no house phone. All the conversation was done via the telephone interpreter paano they don't understand any single english! And it took too much time just to translate every single question and answer portion! Nakaka-stress ito talaga! Anyway, he asked so many questions and talked so much and even asked if it's possible for someone to drop them off to the fields because he and her wife are gonna work! As in now na daw! As in OMG!!! Her wife had a surgery and he wants the wife to work in the fields???!!! Seriously?! He was pushing the idea that back in Mexico, in past pregnancies that the wife went home the same day after a C-section. Heck, that was back there in Mexico siguro and here in US it will take 6 weeks until the wife can really get back to work noh! Ano ba yan? Naloka talaga ako dun yersterday. My goodness! Oh, and even made it harder because neither of the husband or wife can read nor write. Haay!! My brain was fried talaga yesterday!

- Isa pang problem patient ko the last two days was this 14 year old patient. Grabe ah, 14 pa lang kumerengkeng na! Wala talaga ako maisip na ibang word, pero seriously at 14, you're still a kid. How come someone be a mother at 14??? She doesn't have any single clue on how to change the diaper of her baby, or how to even feed her baby. Omg. Now that patient is referred to the Social worker and Child protective services kung meron mang dapat imbestigahan about this matter, and most especially if she can even take care of her child. LOL, tapos nakita ko kanina ang teaser sa TFC about this Katorse teleserye na ipapalabas nila. Ang timing talaga!

- Anyway, next weekend is my off and I can't wait! Sister and Mike's probably gonna visit. Maybe we can watch this movie....

and maybe this one too...

:)

- When I was at work the other night, Carissa texted me about this movie that she watched in Netflix "instant play" feature. She said the story is kind of like "Chances are" that also starred Robert Downey Jr. and you know this is one of my favorite movies!

So this movie that she was watching was Only You.

As a child, Faith (Marisa Tomei) was told she'd marry a man named Damon Bradley. Years later and engaged, a friend of her fiance calls to say he can't make the wedding because he's bound for Italy. The caller's name? Damon Bradley! Faith and her sister-in-law (Bonnie Hunt) take off for Tuscany, where they bump into Damon (Robert Downey Jr.) ... or do they? [Netflix]

So after I got off from work, I decided to relax and also watch this movie also through Netflix instant play. (Kahit nakakainis ang internet connection ko, on/off ang signal palagi. Hmp!) Anyway, shucks I love the movie! Super cheesy sya and super silly but you don't have to take the movie seriously naman. I just love movies like this. And I love the song in the credits, Once in a lifetime by Michael Bolton. Anyone has a copy of this song, please penge naman? I can't find the mp3 anywhere eh. :)

- How scary naman this news about this airplane that suddenly disappeared! It's a mystery how come they lost contact and they cannot find a trace where the plane went. Oh no..may survivors pa kaya?

How strange.

- Had a day-off today. So that means I had the time to sing! Yes! K, here are your requests. Sorry ah I finally had the chance to record my version of these songs (both of the originals by Beyonce). Sinabay ko na para masaya! :)

If I were a boy

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it.
Cause they'd stick up for me.

[Chorus:]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man.
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
I'd put myself first
[ Beyonce Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home (to come home)

[Chorus]

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

[Chorus]

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
Yeah you don't understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy


If i were a boy - Diane de Mesa

Listen

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete

Listen hmm.. to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release

Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....

[Chorus]
Listen,
I am alone in a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago

Oh I'm screaming out, and my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen...

Listen,
I am alone in a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't....
If you won't....

LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I^ will ^complete

Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

Diane, your "if I were a boy" is one of the great version I have to say. The sound mixing was different from your previous recordings. This worth a download.

THANKS so much!

MsDianeG said...

@K.noizki, thank you ha! I'm glad that you liked it. I know you've been requesting it for a long time, hehe..ayan na! Talaga my mixing is good? Good, i'm improving then! :)

Kat said...

Hi sweetie! Looks like you had very stressful but adventurous times at work. Isn't it priceless?

I listened to your "If i were a boy" version and wow! That really blows me away..oh and the effects, how did you make it sound the original with the delay in the chorus? That was just awesome! "Listen" is not bad either. Way to go! More please!

EyMi said...

*clap*clap* galeng! swabe pagkakanta at pagkakamix.

14 yrs old tapos mommy na? Mygoodness. Well, dyan kasi sa US, people start "early". naku kung anak ko yan, baka kinalbo ko na. hindi pa ako ready magka-apo. hahaha! where's her parents btw?

stressful talaga kapag meron language barrier with our patients. i remember b4 sumama ako sa friend ko mag-homecare therapy sa FL, and his patient doesnt speak English, yung friend ko tinuruan magbilang in Tagalog pero iniba nya like icha, jalawa, chatlo, hafat, luma, hanem, pitu, walu, shamsham, shabushabu. and i went back sa car laughing. it's crazy.

Fave ko din ang Only You. Yung real Damon Bradley was chubby and not so goodlooking. Inimbento lang pala yun ng manghuhula. Haha!

And that missing Air France got me bothered too. My initial reaction was:OMG baka nahigop na ng Bermuda Triangle! Hahaha! I'm such a goofball.

MsDianeG said...

@Kat, yup it is priceless! Nothing can beat that! hehe..Thank you! I'm glad you like it. Yeah that song won't be complete without the "delay" effect. I just played around with Protools and i was actually surprised to even kinda copy how the delay sounded like. :)

@EyMi, thank you ah! :)
About my 14 y.o. pt, I don't know and her parents weren't even there to visit her. Kaya nga may Social work consult na sya to kind of investigate on this thing.

Sinabi mo, sakit ng ulo talaga pag may language barrier. Esp. sa job ko, 70-80% are Mexicans who are non-english speakers.

Only you- yeah it's one of my favorite movies now too! Nakaka-aliw yung Damon Bradley! At first i really believed it's Robert Downey Jr. LOL..

Uy naisip ko rin yun about the bermuda triangle, hehe..

Melanie said...

Aba girl! Effortless na effortless, ibang level talaga! Galing ah! I like yung chorus nga especially the effect na nilagay mo. Grabe ha goosebumps all over! clap* clap* Isip ulit ako ng marerequest! :P

Maiinis ako at mafa-frustrate kung di ako makapag-communicate sa isang tao dahil sa language barrier. Nakakaloka talaga yan! Pat in the back for you* kasi you deal with that in a daily basis.

MsDianeG said...

@Melanie, thanks ha! I'm touch naman. Sige isip ka lang ng song. Sana meron ako kung ano man yun, hehe..

Yes i deal with it everyday at work. Good naman someone appreciates it, like you. hehe..

Ghee said...

If I were a boy is a hard song to sing and so as Listen. Wish ko lang na makanta yan (sa banyo) hahaha..At na-carry mo girl! Good job! Idol! hehehe..Musta na ulit ang fans club? hehe..

Vayie said...

Say what? 4 kids at 14? Oh, my goodness, since when did she started doing it? Since she have gotten her period? I was still playing with platu-platuhan and hopscotch at that age!

What kind of a hubby's that? Forcing his wife that had just been through a C-procedure to work in the fields? Is he nuts? Palibhasa hindi siya ang nanganganak `no!

Everyone's raving about "Drag me to Hell" kahit medyo tacky daw ang title. And oh, I love Chances Are and Only You. Chick Flicks galore!
