Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!
I don't want to jinx him but I can't keep myself from writing about him. He's really good. Jimmy Marquez, from Toledo, Cebu, did very well on the Gary Valenciano-themed episode of Search for a Star in a Million Season 2. He chose Gaya Ng Dati, and made the song his. Wow! Gary V. himself was impressed. The song developed more meaning for me because of Jimmy's rendition. Wow, I was blessed by Jimmy's song. So, right after, I sent a text message to vote for Jimmy ("siam JIMMY" to 23661 for T-mobile subscribers).
I hope he will win it all or at least get a chance to record. I definitely want to buy his album. Watch out, world, Jimmy Marquez is rising!

Gaya Ng Dati
lyricsbox.com
Dati-rati
Laman ng puso mo ay ang pangalan Ko
Lagi Ako sa isip mo
Dati-rati
Inaawitan pa labi ay may ngiti
Mga mata’y nagniningning
Ngunit ngayon nagbago ka
Nasa’n na ang init ng pagsinta
Pangako mo’y hindi magwawakas
Di ba’t noon
Samyo ng bulaklak at ihip ng hangin ay kapansin-pansin
Di ba’t noon takbo ng oras ay di mo napapansin
Laging naglalambing
Ngunit ngayon naglaho na
Sigla’t tamis ng iyong pagsinta
Pagmamahal Ko ba’y kailangan pa
Ooh
Dati-rati
Mga pangako Ko’y kandungan mo’t lakas
Sa pagsubok ay kay tatag
Di ba’t noon
Sa kaibigan mo’y Akong bukambibig
Bakit ngayo’y anong lamig
Di mo alam Ako’y nasasaktan
Sa di pagpansin sa Aking pagmamahal
Lumapit ka’t Ako’y naghihintay
Naghihintay, ohh
Ako’y nasasaktan
Sa di pagpansin sa aking pagmamahal
Lumapit ka’t ako’y naghihintay
Di mo alam Ako’y nasasaktan
Sa di pagpansin sa Aking pagmamahal
Lumapit ka’t Ako’y naghihintay
Panginoon
Ako’y nabulag ng mandarayang mundo
Ako ay patawarin Mo
Mula ngayon ang buhay kong ito’y
Iaalay sa Iyo gamitin mo ako
Gaya ng dati
Gaya ng dati
Gaya ng dati

ohh ok. yeah i have seen siam a couple of times, i havent heard or seen jimmy sing though. ill try to watch it. lagi ko kasi nakakalimutan eh.
no i have no plans of watching the gary v concert yet. maybe i will. i wish i could go to tampa and watch him there(kung may pera ako pupunta ako doon! sana bilihan ako ng tatay ko ng plane ticket, lol), i can get some VIP passes there, my dad's church in tampa is the one producing the concert there. (click here).
