Theme Songs

Yeah, I know. Sounds corny huh? I am still a true softee at heart. You see, I do have my list of songs that can symbolize ones existence (no matter how sorry that existence is).

Here are some of the songs I can relate with when it comes to certain aspects of my life.

1. Save You by Simple Plan – this song describes how I feel towards students of the public high school where I am currently employed. I also feel the same for the youth of this country in general. That is one of the reasons why I feel so passionate about being a teacher (I am aware of the story behind the song but it can also apply to the students who are not as lucky as others)

2. Leave out all the Rest by Linkin Park – this is my song for the school administration of my Alma Mater and for all the students I have taught in the past three years. (I know, the message is confusing but I do feel that way too)

3. Little Wonders by Rob Thomas – This is my theme song, the song I always sing to make me smile and feel happy

4. That Don’t Impress me Much by Shania Twain – that song explains how I feel about celebrity figures like Piolo Pascual, Dingdong Dantes, Richard Gutierez (is that how the last name is spelled?), Brad Pitt ( I love Hugh Grant though) and people like them

5. All the Love in the World by the Corrs – to the man I might marry (or not). I still don’t know him.

6. Love Song for No One by John Mayer – also for the man I might love. If he ever walks by my way of the planet… Still, I am thankful he is not yet here, I am too busy to pay any attention to anything as of this moment

7. Jaane Kyun (A Dostana soundtrack) – To my Indian friend, Daniel. He is a cool guy and he always keeps the chills away.

8. Cyclone (Baby Bash feat. T-Pain) – to a girl who haunted my dreams once and made me fear that I am not a female in the true sense of the word (I dreamt of kissing a girl when I was in high school and I kept remembering how my hands fitted on her sexily slim hips)

9. Torn by Natalie Imbruglia – to my unconventional mother and to all my unconventional beliefs. I still love you Nay, but that does not make me blind

10. Insomnia by Craig David – To my unfinished clearance

11. Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park – my reaction about what is happening with my career so far

12. Don’t Stay by Linkin Park – one of my song symbols that I like to play from time to time (meaning, after my last period class every afternoon). This is for my school as well and a little bit for my idiocy

13. Tourniquet by Evanescence – my plea

14. The Greatest Love of All – my battle cry as a teacher

15. Time for me to Fly by Jonas Brothers – a song which I would play out loud five years from now

16. Underdog by Jonas Brothers – for the little girl I left behind in elementary

17. Alone by Celine Dion – for the man who is yet to come

18. Can’t Cry Hard Enough – for Spielberg, who died last April 20, 2009

19. Way Back into Love – I just love that song

20. I’m Still Here by Johnny Rzeznik – to the school administration … and sometimes, to God

Does that line up of songs tell something about the inner workings of my mind right now?

If it does, it goes to show that you can never truly know a person.
