It's weekend and I am in the office. Nothing so much to do supposedly but here I am busy thinking of words to put into lyrics. Yes, you heard (I mean, read) it right- LYRICS. My youngest brother, Bryan, keeps on reminding me for almost two weeks now to make a song lyrics for his school project/activity with the theme - "Moral Guidance Week for Public Servants". And the thing is, it should be original, Since I am not a composer, I made a lot of palusot (excuses) for me not to do it. I told him to prepare few lines of the lyrics first, so I can proof-read later, or create a not-so-complex poem, then put some music on it. Good point, right? But he didn't do any.
Since our bunso(youngest brother) is so makulit, he has been messaging me on all my social media account until I answer. It just so happened I deactivated my fb account, reset my cellphone so no way for him to contact me for few days until I re-install all iphone applications. I know he's been waiting for my Fb account to be activated. I feel a little guilty for making him wait. Come take a look on his messages. I just find them so sweet hahaha!

He made all those effort to remind me about the lyrics but he didn't do what I asked him to do (make few lines). He's always like that. He loves messaging me only when he needs something. I am his favorite Ate (eldest sister) kasi, because he doesn't have a choice in the first place - I am his only Ate. We have one more brother, a year younger than me, Carlo, who is currently reviewing for ECE board exam so he is busy. Therefore, I'm the only option. Oh by the way, I am in Malaysia and my family is in Philippines.
Bryan is a high school student so I just have to make the wordings and all so simple. I started around 12am and finished it by 3am. Hopefully someone out there And here how it goes:
We Gonna Do it Now
I wish for a better place
Where people wear smile on their faces
I wish for a government
that wants nothing but development
So is it you, that we are looking for?
A public officer who is accountable
Is it you that we are waiting for?
A righteous heart, modest mind and is responsible
You gonna go now
You gonna go now
You have do it now
So make it work
Just make it worth it
You gonna do it now
Oh yeah, good deeds need to pile up
Clean all rubbish, please throw those crap
Public servant, please be compassionate,
A bright future is what we have to create
Forget about getting the money
Focus on vision and what's good for community
Pay attention to justice, include this on your mission
What shall prevail is a good reputation
So is it you, that we are looking for?
A public officer who is accountable
Is it you that we are waiting for?
A righteous heart, modest mind and is responsible
You gonna go now
You gonna go now
You have do it now
so make it work
Just make it worth it
You gonna do it now
You might think that i'm just a kid
but inside my heart and my soul I am in need
Thirsty for your honesty and efficiency
to God and to people, to serve with integrity
Don't waste the count of votes
Have the devotion to serve and not to be served
Instill commitment and please keep your word
and we will help you to make it all work
We gonna go now
We gonna go now
We have to do it now
We will make it work
Just make it worth it
We gonna do it all now...
