blog: moving on-my ‘Spring Awakening‘ CD sold on amazon.com – http://ow.ly/44m2b

notes on this posting:

It’s a posting to narrate and share my happy-sad feelings over having sold my copy of  ‘Spring Awakening’ through my online store on Amazon.com. You must have heard by now that I’ve been doing sales of used books, magazines, CDs, DVDs through online means, mainly Amazon.com (my storefront here) and eBay.com, which endeavors have been getting good revenues for me even if these entrepreneurial activities call for a lot of detailed work that would not fit everyone’s tastes for work or small (but always growing) business. My ‘Spring Awakening’ CD meant personally a lot to me because it belonged to my dear friend who committed suicide 2 years ago (as of this writing); I got it at a time when his belongings were being thrashed and given away. We would be watching the Broadway show together, and we would be listening to its tracks at least 50 times whenever we’re together. Something’s really so awesomely wonderful and moving with the music that includes, among others, ‘Totally Fucked.’ Watch the YouTube video below:

‘Twas happy but it was sad, too. This CD was sold so soon after I posted for sale on Amazon.com, which I didn’t expect would be getting its buyer’s attention as soon as it was posted online. This just says that online buyers know what they want and they know where to get it before others get ahead of them with the actual purchase. And personally, I took the sale as a sign for me to ‘move on,’ which is the very main theme of this blogsite.  I like to believe it’s a clear sign from my dear friend for me to take more solid steps to transitioning myself into what I’ve wanted to accomplish with life while I’m still around. He’s done what he wanted with his life, as far as I could remember the many things we talked about. Being among the most accomplished persons – he was a musician/composer among other things – I’ve known when he died at age 50, he’s done a lot of active reflections on his life, which he also openly shared with me while singing, drinking, dancing, chatting, sharing art experiences, listening to music, discussing about life’s many awesome wonders and terrible upheavals, among other things.

Here’s wishing that the one who bought the CD so soon is enjoying the music, and finding meaning from it as [s]he attempts to apply the thoughts the songs convey to his / her life now.

Ako’y Sayo at Ika’y Akin (Acoustic cover) – Iaxe [literally: "I'm Yours Alone, and You are Mine Alone"]

It’s in Tagalog, as everyone from the Philippines knows something about the song. It’s a particularly melodious tone, played acoustic style, with lyrics that describe one’s raw affectionate emotions for someone …for 2 nights in a row, I tried to get to listen to it on YouTube. I remembered the song, after reading a friend’s profile. Something was wrong with YouTube last night, but tonight, I got to listen to it, finally, gratefully.

Tears were soon flowing down my eyes. I could just cry, as memories unfolded in my mind, and I freely went along with my emotions showing. I remember my partner who’s in the Philippines. I just feel so lonely, just so lonely, now that it’s in the low 40s here in NYC; it’s just getting colder. I know this is gonna be over soon. I know I’ll be better sometime. Thank God!
