That's All I Want From You - Nina Simone
Our 1st grade teacher taught us this song; we sang it almost every morning. When I grew up I began to think that maybe, due to some bouts of loneliness, I actually was the one who made the entire song, or worse - that I invented for myself a false memory; that there was really no such thing as early morning singing sessions during 1st grade; all these because I could not find anyone who could give me the title, or tell me that they, too, have heard of it. Thanks to the internet, though, I knew I wasn't crazy.
Oh, Carol - Neil Sedaka
My cousin had a girlfriend named Carol and we always teased him about it by singing this song with matching sayaw-sayaw. Lol.
Tie A Yellow Ribbon
Heard my father sing this one.
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Heard my mother sing it too. She would sway her head this way and that and would have a happy smile on her face.
Oh, childhood... Those were such delightful days...
Mr. Dj -- Sharon Cuneta
This song stirs up deep emotions in me. It brings me back to the time when I was still a pre-schooler. We lived inside the Atlas mining compound in Toledo. Our house was surrounded thickly by woods -- tall trees which trunks were covered by all sorts of vines. There was also a river near our backyard, and a small bridge over it. For many years I believed that a tita of mine actually sang that song. I loved the soft melody of the song. The last scene that I can remember in those days was this one wherein I was being carried away by my lolo because I was having temper tantrums (It amazes me, now that I think about it, that I'm actually recalling my toddlerhood years). I just saw my mother ride off in a bus because she was going to give birth to my brother. I was crying and shouting and I remember throwing my toy gun to the river because I was so mad that I couldn't go with my mom hehe...
