I’ve never been so excited to upload a blog post!! :D Here’s the Googly Gooey adventure in Boracay part 2. Since it’s summer we thought of coming up with some sunshiny upbeat post! :D Ahh…I feel that if I proceed, I’ll be pre-empting some parts of the video so press play & let’s just talk later ;)

 

(You can watch this video in full HD when you click this link The Googly Gooeys Goes to Boracay :) )

We picked “Candy in the Sun” by Swril 360 because that’s what we love playing in the car when we would go ♩♪ traveling around the nation ♫♬

banana boat for rent

I’m actually surprised that I was able to hold the pictures for this loooong. I’ve been wanting to share with you the rest of the plushie pictures but figured I must wait until we’re done with the video! Here’s the first one with the banana boats. Ponggo and I initially wanted to bring bananas to the beach but realized that they’re not the best fruits to travel with because they’re oh-so-fragile-and-sensitive!

mermaids in boracay

I initially wanted to scrap this mermaid idea. I did it during the first day but the sand wasn’t so manageable. Finally, I moved near the shore where the tiny waves could already touch my feet. I just needed more water and I could finally have my own Tipsy zeh mermaid & Ponggo zeh merman ;) I was looking for a bunch of identical seashells but later resorted to clay. While I was away, I would look back from time to time if the mermaids were still intact. I was afraid they’ll be gobbled up by the water. Instead, what I saw were a bunch of tourists, a mom, a grown man and some teens taking pictures of Tipsy & Ponggo on the sand. It’s just cute that they would ask for permission if they could take the photo of the plushies.

googly gooeys snorkeling zone

Finally, here’s a picture of them snorkeling together. We just thought that we should set this up because Boracay is really a good place for snorkeling (umm….aside from helmet diving, parasailing, sunset sailing, riding the ATV, rolling down the hill inside a zorb et cetera! Hehe).

We left Boracay on a Sunday at around 8a.m. in the morning and boarded the 2GO Travel ship back to Batangas. As in the video, we were reviewing and laughing about all our adventures. We were just mighty glad that our trip back already included a free lunch meal and for anything else, there’s snack corner that sells our favorite go-to food and drinks ;)

We rested in our uber comfy aircon rooms—we instantly fell asleep. Hahaha. Upon waking up, we met up with one of the 2GO Travel Girls, Cherry, and we were toured around the ship. We went to the bridge! ☺ I felt like a kid again. Ponggo & I got to meet the Captain and we got a really cool view 1800 view of where the boat was going. While Ponggo and one of the staff in the bridge were talking about some scientific stuff about reading graphs & gauges, I was introduced to some giant Philippine maps. I was introduced to the ship’s route. I’ve never seen a map of my country this complete and detailed! It’s all so cool. Why didn’t we have those in school?

We arrived in Batangas by 6pm and drove back to Manila ☺

I know what you’re thinking, “Lovely photos but where’s the promo?” Wait, sorry, I got lost in my story-telling.

One More Night Lyrics

Continuing the Googly Gooey tradition of ignoring metaphors (yes, traditions are now formed in months in terms of internet years), here’s the One More Night lyrics sung by Maroon 5! :) This song has been stuck in my head for a while now.   As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, I’ve always enjoyed Maroon 5 songs since their Songs About Jane Album.  I just love their poetry.

Googly Gooeys Good Time Lyrics Illustrated Sung by Carly Rae Jepsen & Owl City Suggested by Saab Gomez on Twitter :)  Woke up on the right side of the bed What's up with this Prince song inside my head? Hands up if you're down to get down tonight Cuz it's always a good time. Good morning and good night I wake up at twilight It's gonna be alright We don't even have to try It's always a good time

Well, it’s been a while since our last lyrics post.  I really wanted do “Some Nights” by Fun but the process didn’t prove to be fun (pardon the pun; *Ooh! that rhymes!).  Meanwhile, Saab Gomez saved the day by suggesting that we do the Good Time lyrics instead :) Yay! Thank yewwww Saaaaaaab! :)

For those of you who just came across these Googly lyrics for the first time, it all started with this Hey Soul Sister entry.  I initially wanted to take photos of the subjects described in the lyrics but since the task proved to be a bit tedious and gargantuan for someone who wanted to upload something in a matter of hours, I resorted to Googly-fying the whole thing instead.  The addiction to illustrating lyrics hasn’t stopped since then. If you want to see all the Googlified lyrics, click here.

Here are some crowd favorites by the way:

Googly Gooeys Fickle, Fickle Me! When an indie artist makes good music: "Oh! I love his music! I wonder why he's not famous yet?" When the artist become famous: "No he has mass appeal. I don't like him anymore"

Until recently, I didn’t actually know that these types of issues were actually called “Hipster Problems”.  I just remember that during the pre-CD days. (There I am again, giving away my generation!?), my cousin loved this certain artist.  Finally, when the singer became famous, he said he wasn’t interested in him anymore.  He feels bad that he was one of the original listeners and now, the music is being enjoyed by more people.

More after the jump ;)

How Will I Know Lyrics Illustrated by the Googly Gooeys, Sung by the Glee Cast & Whitney Houston

As requested, here’s the illustrated version of the How Will I Know Lyrics :) ) I was supposed to illustrate a couple more songs but let’s see what I can do. When the time permits & the mood arrived, I’ll do more of these.

I first heard How Will I Know while I was driving. I just love the way the Glee cast blended in this song and probably the fact that Mercedes opens the song instead of Rachel Barry. I don’t get to watch Glee these days but I must admit there was a time when I got hooked. I was a member of our school choir years ago. Sadly, my singing career these days is limited to the bathroom. I was just thinking how much cooler it would’ve been to be in a school glee club these days thanks to the show!

XOXO,
Tipsy
