This blog post for her is different because gagawin ko itong parang top 10 hit chart ng lahat ng mga kantang kinakanta niya. Probably these songs were heard elsewhere, sa kuwarto niya (with matching kulambo), sa banyo nila, sa school, sa sasakyan at siguro, in front of her students. At ako, magpapaka-DJ or VJ ako just to present to you The Music of Theresa Hernandez (bongga di ba!)
For our number 10, it's Aiza Seguerra's version of Miss You Like Crazy.
I remember noong time na sikat ang movie nila John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo (which celebrating their 10th anniversary as a love team) na Miss You Like Crazy, kasama niya si Joel (a.k.a. Baby Boy) at sabi niya sa akin that she really loved the version of Aiza Seguerra ng Miss You Like Crazy. And another thing was, medyo nagulantang din raw siya noong napanood niya ang love scene nila John Lloyd at Bea na ginawa nila sa stairs (worried siya sa dalawa kasi hindi raw kaya masakit yun?). And she told me that she really liked the version of Aiza than with Erik Santos (I prefer Erik's). Masarap kasama sa sinehan yang si Theresa, especially kapag bet niya talaga yung movie (local films). Pero isa sa mga pangarap ko na makasama yan sa loob ng sinehan, together with Joel and our other friends ay makapanood kami ng horror film. Sabi niya kasi na baka daw mapanaginipan niya yung napanood. I don't know if it is exaggerated, or talagang matatakutin ang Theresa Hernandez?
For our number 9, it's Wag Mo Na Sanang Isipin by Gary Valenciano and his daughter Kiana
Tanda ko ito noong first time kong sumama sa grupo pa nila noong 2009, ito yung isa sa mga kinanta niya. And si Miss A, sinabi niya sa akin na ito raw si Theresa kapag pumipili ng kanta sa videoke, para siya lang ang nakakaalam. Parang itong kantang 'to. Nalaman ko lang na kanta pala ito ni Gary Valenciano, originally. Pero yung version na ito with his daughter Kiana, napakinggan ko na rin and it's beautiful. Yun nga lang, talagang siya lang ang may alam nitong song na ito.
For our number 8, it's Back Into You by Amber Davis
So far, isa ito sa mga kantang hindi ko maisip na magugustuhan niya. Hindi naman siya kasi masyadong mahilig sa mga foreign artists, sariling atin ang gusto niya. Well, on her first years of teaching sa aming institution, ay naging guro din naman siya sa Filipino kaya siguro, matatas din siyang mag-Tagalog. Nakapagturo na rin siya ng mga subjects na medyo hindi niya forte like Civics (handle niya last year) and take note, my hatest subject, Economics (first year of teaching niya, mantakin niyong hawak niya ang mga Fourth Year). When she looks back to her heydays as new teacher, tuwang-tuwa siyang sine-share sa amin ito, especially the moment that binuhat raw siya ni Sir Patrick for this certain event sa school.
For our number 7 of our list, here's Love Me Like the First Time by Faith Cuneta
Isa lang ito sa mga favorite love songs ng Theresa, in which it became also my favorite. Maganda naman kasi ang pagkakanta ni Faith Cuneta dito sa kantang ito, originally sang by Brenda Starr. First time ko siyang naging close noong first year of teaching ko dito sa amin. Unang kita ko pa lang dito, alam kong magsi-swak kami and good thing na rin because kami ang mag-partners noon sa Grade 5 (Obedient siya, Generous ako). Bigla na lang din kami nag-jive dahil halos laging pareho ang mga naiisip namin for the kids, especially kapag Field Demonstration and Turn-Over Ceremony na. I never thought na magiging magkapatid kami nito on whatever aspects and angles of life pa iyan, mapa-career, love life (paano?), dance steps at of course, fashion sense. Until now, ganyan pa rin kami. Walang pagbabago!
For our number 6 on our list, it's Di Na Mababawi by Spongecola
Ito yung song na unang kong narinig sa kanya na kinakanta niya habang busy kami sa work. She usually de-stressing herself in singing kaya kaming mga kaibigan niya ay well-entertained by her! Pero nakakatuwa rin dahil bukod sa siya bilang entertainer, ay nae-entertain din naman siya sa amin. Ang sarap at ang hinhin ng tawa niyan, laging tinatakpan ang bibig, masyadong Maria Clara of the 21st century. Sa lahat sa amin, siya ang nangunguna pagdating sa pagiging mahinhin at medyo conservative. May time na nagulat sa akin dahil medyo naging boisterous ako. She told me, "may mga babae kang kasama!" and I said my apologies right away. Oo nga naman! Pero hindi ko pa rin makakalimutan ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na nakaramdam ka ng batok galing kay Lyrize (remember one of our sessions sa Starbucks PCJ). In fairness naman, ang kapatid natin ay bumawi sa iyo.
For our number 5, it's Freshmen's Trip Mo Ba
Ito ang favorite song namin ni Theresa kapag nagbi-videoke kami. We really love this especially its melody, tamang-tama sa isang barkadang mahilig mag-out-of-town or gumimik. At first, I never thought that Theresa is game na game pagdating sa mga pagalis-alis namin. Siya kasi yung tipong, she would rather stay at home, kaysa lumaboy or gumala. Pero, hindi pala. Nagsa-Starbucks na rin siya tulad namin, nagmo-MOA, nagsa-Southmall at nagcha-China pa yan (her recent out-of-the-country trip niya was in 2010 sa China). Pero para sa kanya, her haven, her paradise, her oasis is Divisoria (pareho sila ni Andrewkells). Grabe! Ang sarap kasama niyan sa Divisoria kasi ang galing tumawad. Ako kasi kapag namimili, hindi ako nananawad pero siya, if half the price, half the price talaga ang itatawad niya. Sometimes she wins, sometimes she loses, pero okay lang. We were thinking of visiting Bohol, favorite tourist destination namin yun kahit hindi pa namin nakakapunta doon. Why not next year di ba???
Number 4 of our list, it's a tie between Rihanna and Ne-Yo's Hate That I Love You and Steps' It's The Way You Make Me Feel
Ito ang dalawang kantang isinayaw ng mga Grade 5 (Batch 2010 and 2011) noong kanilang Turn Over Ceremony. The first one was Hate That I Love You and in fairness, nagawa naming maganda ang sayaw namin. Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang but we really can twist and shout (meant as dance), lalo na kung partner kami. The other one is It's The Way You Make Me Feel ng Steps at para sa akin, dito kami ang pinakamagaling (hahahaha!). Ang nakakatuwa pa sa amin, kapag nagtuturo kami ng mga dance steps sa mga bata, kapag sila na lang, may makita lang kaming mali, sasabayan namin sila hanggang sa matapos yung song. And as far as I remember, no negative comments were mentioned in our dance steps. This year, hindi na kami mag-partners so walang "sumasayaw ng walang dance" na magaganap between the two of us!
Number 3 on our list, here's Lead Me Lord by Gary Valenciano
Aside from 'Wag Mo Na Sanang Isipin, isa rin sa favorite song niya (I guess) from Gary Valenciano is Lead Me Lord. There is a secret behind this song and I really don't know the real reason. During her childhood days, naging busy siya sa mga church activities ng kanilang community and there was even a moment na muntikan na siyang ipadala sa World Youth Day sa Rome, Italy. Sayang! Siguro, ito ang kanilang theme song ni Joel (a.k.a. Baby Boy), hindi ko talaga alam! I also love this song, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear this, but minsan din kasi ginagamit itong kanta kapag may burial pero mostly sa mga offering and/or communion sa Holy Mass.
For our number 2, it's Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You by Khalil Fong
When the time I told this song to her, she really fell in love agad. She already knew the song but the version of Khalil Fong is her most favorite. In fairness naman talaga, the version of Khalil Fong is better than the original, may modern twist din kasi. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit agad-agad naging favorite song ni Theresa ito. I guess this song might be used in her soon-to-be-arranged wedding next year (maloloka na naman yan sa akin! Hahahaha!). Ginamit din ito actually ng kanyang section, 6-Loyal for the Salin-awit contest ng Linggo ng Wika. Nanalo sila as 3rd Place dahil ang ganda nga talaga. Ginawang may pagka-soul ang song that's why it's beautiful and my beautiful became her favorite song to date!
And of course, our number 1 song for the list, it's got to be Runaway by Ezra Band
Hay naku, yes this is it! Her most favorite song at ibinirit niya ito last year during our Open Mic sessions of our Foundation Day. 2010 when she first heard this habang may Pilipinas Got Talent, when the band called Ezra Band performed as their audition piece in front of Ms. Ai Ai delas Alas, Freddie Garcia and of course, Mama Kris Aquino. And then, kina-Monday-an, binoroadcast na niya sa akin na gusto niya itong song na ito. During the wedding of Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo, ito ang wedding march song ni Juday going to the altar so ang lola Theresa, mukhang nangangarap na ito rin ang maging wedding march song niya. Why not naman di ba! Tapos puwede ring ito ang maging background music ng gagawin nilang pre-nup video ni Joel, mala-Iisa Pa Lamang then with lines pa from her favorite teleserye to date, Magkaribal. Well, whatever your plans, my friends, good luck and we will see that soon! Hehehehe...
You might wonder who is this Theresa Hernandez that I'm talking about. This is she...
Sa aming circle of friends, siya lang talaga ang may matatawag na "indescribable charm" for I really don't know the reason. Maybe because she is petite, of course beautiful and talaga nga namang charming siya! But beyond those description, one thing is definitely about Theresa, her simplicity in life. Walang masyadong arte sa katawan (well, except sa fashion!), hindi maluho and most of all, napaka-meek ng kanyang kalooban. She always wanted to experience all and she's not too ashamed if she doesn't know much about new things.
No wonder, ang daming nagkaka-crush at nagkaka-gusto dito sa kaibigan kong ito! Dahil iba ang charisma niya. And no wonder, why Joel and her will not last for more than five years in their relationship. According to her, she doesn't call their relationship as a relationship talaga but in a sense of having a best friend at your side. Sa totoo lang, I am looking up sa relasyon nilang dalawa dahil kapag kasama namin sila, hindi sila sweet or P.D.A., their just acting on what they are, simple but you would know that they are in love.
So kung matuloy man ang kasal next year (galit na galit na siguro sa akin ito! hahahaha), can't wait for that. Anyways, I do hope that you still stay the same way the first time I saw and knew you. Sana ganyan ka pa rin ka-simple, ka-humble at higit sa lahat, ka-sophisticated in your own right. Diba, when you say Theresa Hernandez, it must be sophisticated done in a simple way! Gusto mo yan, friend!
Belated happy birthday! May your fruitful life be more colorful and magical with your family, friends and of course, with the man you truly love!
Teka ano ba 'to? Parang message ko na sa kasal ninyo ah!!! Hahaha!!!
Toodles, Theresa!!! (Puwede ring Theresa /the-ri-sa/, Teacher Tere, Teacher There, Teresing, Claudine Barretto [daw?!?!] at higit sa lahat, Matet!)
