how can happiness be achieved?
i received a heartbreaking email the other day from a friend here on myspace. i have also met him recently at a show in chicago. at the show i could tell he was having a hard time but at the same time very positive about life and his music. he dropped me an email. here it is.. (don't worry i have his permission to publish it)
"I ask you humbly, on one knee if possible, what it can mean to be truly and utterly happy? I've been mired in a negative miasma for months, clinging weakly, akin to drowning with no air to reach. Over the weekend some of these hang-ups came to light after a bad falling out with a now former friend in my "scene", and while I know she would've said a lot of that shit to poke at me, I can't help but look back on it and realize it may be the truth leaking out. I've been miserable for far too long, and
want out...not only out of this degrading music scene populated by nay-sayers and backstabbers (and obviously enter a new one where my skills can be appreciated), but out of the smog they emit, the soul-crushing, volatile detriments of false hope and fake sincerity. I ask of you as I fear I may not be able to do it alone...how can happiness and contention be achieved?
please.. if you have any words, any thing, to console him. please don't hesitate to help because i'm sure each and everyone of us have dark times such as this..
i do believe time heals all wounds and as long as we're living, we will always experience pain. but i do encourage you to learn from it, and to embrace it because without pain, we cannot appreciate pleasure. and i know that this life brings more pleasure than pain.
as for the music industry or the entertainment industry in general, it the road less traveled because if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. but whatever you decide, make sure it's for you and not for anyone else.
again, i wrote this song knowing that the road to happiness, is the same road to "me" and only you can bring happiness into your own heart.
ask away.. and answer away
i get alot of email everyday asking me about the music/entertainment industry.. and my first response is always.. (well it's in this video)..
after you truthfully answer the question and if (and only if) you are willing to give all you've got and even 'all you don't got' then ask me anything here. i'm sure your questions will help many..
and please.. i ask for answers too.. if you think you have the answer then don't hesitate to share. you know i always love hearing from you :)
i have to warn you though that i or others here will probably have answers you may not want to hear.
all the best..
Richard Banks of Christmasreviews.com says " In a beautiful, if somewhat brief set, pop sensation Te
..beginning and ending with the sweet title cut 'Christmas Is Easy When Love's Around'. As a vocal stylist, Tey definitely delivers, with an evocative and breathy phrasing that wrings emotion from every line. I liked the set she chose: in addition to her own song, she includes a nice set of popular favorites, of which my favorite was her rendition of Silver Bells.

thanks for listening!
finding your passion
passion's a big word. and finding your passion doesn't always come easily. so how do i find it you ask..
they say if u think love needs to look like "romeo & juliet" then you might overlook a great relationship that grows slowly. and if you think you haven't found your passion yet then you probably think it should be overwhelming.
when i first started doing music all i wanted was for it to supplement my true passion at the time which was acting. i figured it could only boost my acting career.. but here i am with a single, an ep, and 5 full albums later. and writing songs like there's no tomorrow :)
so no, passion doesn't have to strike like lightning. not right away anyways :) but it does come in doing what your heart calls for. everyday. every moment you can spare.
i hope you find your passion if you haven't already. and may you keep finding more passion cause i know i do.. a song doesn't fail to keep me up at night when i need to be sleeping..
yes, THE Meryl Streep!
one of my heroes is opening "The Sounds of Christmas 2009" cd with her version of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear". i will have my version of "Silver Bells" on the same cd!
you can hear a clip of William Shatner at http://www.socmusic.net (and you can pre-order the CD there, too)
again this is raising money for William Shatner's Hollywood Charity Horse Show, which benefits disabled, disadvantaged and special needs children. you can find out all about them at their site (http://www.horseshow.org).
It takes a special woman to be a Lady
another video by TeyPunsalanFansite on youtube. i really have the best fans!!!!!! :) thank you..
is the grass greener on the other side?
as you well know i always say or write to you "i hope all's well" and i know that you know that i mean that from the bottom of my heart. i always wish you happiness.. but what does happiness mean to you?
and alot of you let me know how you are doing and i'm always happy to hear from you! and so i decided to write this blog because happiness is a complicated and most desired state.. (or so we think) but do we really know how to reach it? or accept? or live with it? what IS happiness to you?
i leave you with this conversation from yesterday (leaving their name out :)
TEY: i hope all's well..
FRIEND HERE FROM MYSPACE: well it always seem i want what i can't have-how about you? you feel that way sometimes?
TEY: lol. not really :) because the grass may seem greener on the other side but it usually isn't. be blessed and thanks for sharing.. wishing you the best weekend :)
FRIEND HERE FROM MYSPACE: yes-maybe one day it will be just as green on both sides! amen!hehe
..and this song which to me is about finding your happiness inside.. finding your way to YOU :) "on my way to me" :)

Miley Cyrus Asian eyes photos.. don't bother me
i'm sorry to say but i didn't know anything about these photos until just now. one of my friends here on myspace wrote me this:
"I have a question...how do you feel about the whole Miley Cyrus Asian eyes photo...I'm wondering an Asians view point seeing as how Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku Girls made "Big White Round eyes" in Gwen's Holla Back Girl...please elaborate" - kj
i guess there's a $4 billion class action law suit filed against her claiming discrimination
on Bill O'Reilly 's show it was called a "..silly, stupid, dopey photo.." and O'Reilly himself said that "we all know this is stupid.." and that this is a "..ridiculous complaint, has no basis.."
furthermore this is what kj had to say when i asked him for his opinion.. "my point is it right to yell racism when a caucasian promotes it in their video...I never said to Gwen...Hey...I want 4 billion...cause we know...there is no..."WHITE COALLITION ASSOCIATION"...cause then I would be called rasist...and I'm not...for the world to stop being rasist...we need to stop complaining as well..."
at the moment i'm not sure what to say or how to feel about this, maybe i'm still in shock :)
i would love your comments or more information on this if you have any.. because before i have an opinion i prefer to know the "entire" story.. right now, i feel i don't..
thanks for being there :)
and i have to add.. that not many things offend me, or i don't get offended easily :) so don't worry about my feelings here.. say what you have to say..
here are the photos:
i hope to talk to you on Wednesday, Feb. 4th @ 8pm EST
I'm also going to be interviewed on blog talk radio with You Know Zach Radio for one whole hour of interview :)

“The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.â€
we often read that life is a journey. but do we really see it that way, all-the-time?? it's tough and even tougher at times. but time and time again life is proven to be a journey.
i will always cherish the year 2008. i have met many of you here and you have made my journey worthwhile. but i am sure that there are more amazing things coming our way.. and for that i am filled with anxiety and i'm sure you are too!
again i am delighted and honored to be here with you and you with me :)
as you always hear me, or read me say.. love always.. always and forever..

help
i hope i'm not blogging your head off this holiday season.. it's just all sooooo exciting!
thought i'd tell you about more competitions i created.. (between my own songs that is:).
it's just that radio shows and dj's are asking me which song or songs (usually just ONE but sometimes up to 3) on my christmas CD should they should play. and i'm like "uh.. christmas is easy when love's around....?....".
everyone has their favorite but they all have a special place in my heart so i can't decide.
help!!!
let me know which one's your fave. i know it's not fair cause i have 2 more songs you MIGHT not have heard (cause we have 2 more tuesdays before christmas ;)

gas prices VS sales tax
hi! someone sent me this today.. (sorry i had to shorten it a bit) "Don't have a HEART ATTACK drivers Projected gas prices will be as low as one dollar sources and economists tell me here in St Louis it might be around 95 cents a gallon. now it is about $1.59 I think I was in 7th grade when prices were that low so my prediction is January 20th gas prices will be $1 cheaper I do not know if I am right but it is sure to decrease because so many people are losing their jobs be blessed if you still got yours I thank God for my two jobs. may peace be with you" i have to admit! the drastic drop in gas prices in such a small amount of time has me a bit nervous. i'm sure there are alot of reasons for this.. and of course i am grateful that somehow we americans are making a difference in this economy. but.. (there's always a 'but' isn't there :) what about the major sales tax increase?? i don't get to watch the news or read about this as much as i would like to.. so i would love to get enlightenment from you.. here :) anything to make me not so nervous for the ones who are very much affected by all this.. and what can we do about this? "..so this is christmas..what have we done?.." thanks.. and as always.. much love from me to you.. happy holiday season.. Tey

temptation
"temptation rarely comes in working hours. it is in their leisure time that men are made or marred." - w.n.taylor
wise words still shout..
hi! a friend of mine handed this piece of paper to me today when i went to see him. before he even said a word, he gave it to me with a smile, with great love and intent.
here are the words on paper.. i would love to know what you think..
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
with love always..

the ultimate result of all ambition
hi! thought i'd share a philosophy i truly believe in with you. i just finished an interview with Yellow Magazine (which will come out in November) and again i stated the fact that family and friends are truly what counts.. and so this saying..
"To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition." - Samuel Johnson
sometimes we get soooooo busy reaching our goals or finishing a project or making money that we forget what's truly important and what our 'ultimate ambition' is. and that is, to be happy at home.
know who/what is truly important to you and make time..
you ARE truly important to me and i do try sooooo hard to make time. i know i don't get to answer your emails/comments right away, or sometimes i don't get to at all but just know that you are always in my heart and have a special place there.. always..
i really do wish i could spend more time with you :)
love always..
Tey

"X's & O's" movie available on Netflix.com NOW
"Take Me High" remix and Tey are on the movie "X's&O's" which is available @ NETFLIX,com now :)
someone sent me this today..
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
Interview with fueledbymusicpromotions.com just came out
Latest interview with fueledbymusicpromotions.com. Here's an excerp and the questions:
Who are your influences?
What are your rehearsals generally like?
Was the opportunity to perform for the troops a changing experience?
What inspires your songwriting?
Are your fans supportive?
TEY: my fans are incredibly supportive! i always say.. "i am nothing without the listener". and i certainly have wonderful listeners.
Was it hard to be discovered? What advice would you give to those trying to reach discovery?
TEY: it certainly takes hard work! in your art, in every part of your career. my advice would be to work your butt off!!! in your art and in every part of your career.. to be yourself, to be honest with yourself and others, to always reinvent yourself, don't be afraid of changes, and to have people around you whom you can trust. always treat others as you want to be treated and be on time! and do as you say.. always!
On the fashion side of things, how would you compare your personal style to your performance style or is there no difference?
How do you bring your Filipino (did I use the correct term) culture to the stage?
TEY: i try to perform at least one song with some "tagalog" in it. i love to share my filipino culture because i think it's a gift. and it's amazing how well my audience really appreciate it. i'm never surprised when they enjoy my tagalog songs more.. and buy my tagalog cd's as well.
Is there anyone you wish to thank for emotional of financial support?
coming up on next blog: (questions from fans/friends)
"I see you have a remake of 'Never Knew Love'. Tell me all about it.
How did this project come about, Tey. As well, let's talk creative process. Inquiring minds want to know. Let's start with: who you worked with on this project(production), marketing strategies, from start to finish, studio hours, etc. I am sure there are some more things to ask Tey, I can't picture them just now."
"I was thinking how nice it would be to see a blog on how your career is treating you. You really don't talk too much about your highs and lows regarding your career. I would find this hugely interesting to see you open up more about that facet of your life.
Heck, what if you had a friend with a video camera follow you about on your day to day routines. You could have your own "reality show" on the internet.Setting aside your obvious musical talent, you are absolutely captivating on camera.You have a sincerity that oozes out of the screen and I think this might be something that could generate a lot of interest.
I believe that with all the no-talent people who are getting known thru Reality shows....someone like you who actually has talent might prosper from this."

Sex on the Beach and MORE..
no matter what life brings i can't help but be thankful and always smile and laugh. maybe it's my upbringing, i thank my parents for that! and THEIR parents! they have always taught me to always be "thankful". my dad said it again to me the last time i went home for mother's day, he said his dad always told him "i don't go to church to ask for anything. i go there to say THANK YOU".
..and you definitely make me smile and laugh. good times! :)
99.9999% of the messages i get here and every where are amazing complimetary and for that i am forever blessed and thankful. but i do get the occassional 'slap in the face'. but that's alright. i'm glad for those too! :) i actually started blogging alot more than before because of a girl who told me off telling me i had no appreciation for my fans (and in a very graphic way if you know what i mean). i'm not sure where she is right now.. but i do thank her for opening up my eyes.
i'm not saying this is a negative email but it does raise a question. and it may just be a question others may have too. so here it is: (from the beginning..)

Tey, a thought just crossed my mind. I wa watching the softball world series for women. I chose the team that had the best looking girls. How many male fans do u think u would have if you were not a little fox? Do u think K.D. Lange has any male fans that aren't gay. I doubt it. Cheers--and keep rockin in the free world for as long as we have it.
Here's my response:

Nice of u to respond but I thought I had an interesting take--and all I got was a canned response. Let's try in another direction--how much of your appeal is sexual and how much is artistic. Now be real and actually consider this--the answer doesn't matter as long asyou honestly think about this. Ciao-wiedersehen-bonjour-whatever.
i answered that email i got today.. and believe you me i have lots to say about IT and K.D. Lang, but i would rather hear your voice on this matter:) love always..

p.s. financial donation to this cause is always welcome here. all donations are used for all children and not one specific child.
your time and information response to this blog is greatly appreciated.. you guys are the best!

sooooo sweet.. i'm gonna cry.. :)
I was going to write a blog on something else today but this came up and I just can't help myself.. I'm kind of speechless but when do you know me to keep my mouth shut :) haha. Ok, I'll change that default picture too.. :)
where to begin..
"i found god in myself & i loved her. i loved her fiercely.' -Ntozake Shange
and i say ".. and i have found god in myself more and more because of you.. i see myself the way you do.. i hear my songs the way you do.. and for that i am forever grateful.."
as some of you may know i lost a close friend last year to a motorcycle accident all too suddenly and soon after my grandmother and just before then a dear uncle. i know many have seen worse but the grace i take from that grief is the constant reminder that when we die, we take nothing with us. not our cars, not our clothes, not our iphones, not a thing. but we do take valuable gifts such as friendships, and love, and respect and that is why it means so much to me that you are listening to my music because no one can take that away from me.. ever :)
i hope you see yourself the way i see you too.. you're beautiful.. and amazing.. and god is in all of us..
I post Ding's (http://www.youtube.com/user/dingg458) video tribute not just to thank him but to thank all of you again.. for all of your wonderful gifts (from guitar picks to hawaiian coffee, from Cher concert DVD to stuffed toys, from Godiva chocolates to key rings, from photos of you holding my CD's that you just bought to photoshopped photos, and especially your heartfelt, inspiring gift of words to me always.. I try to thank you personally but I'm not perfect. You mean so much to me. EVERY gift means alot to me..
And here's a repeat of a video '....just to let you know (AGAIN) that you're important to me.'

Big party here for Mother's Day!!!! We're having a special Mother's Day celebration this year at my brother's house since there's a new addition to our family. She can't come out of the house yet. My brother and his wife just had a little baby girl. Her name's Ella :) and I'm an aunt! Sniff sniff (..but I'll have to write all about that next time :)
I don't have enough words to express how amazing Mothers are! So I decided to dedicate "Get Up" to all mothers of the world.. (even if you're a man cause I'm sure there are lots of single fathers out there too). Because special Mothers seem to always be there for us, with us, to help us 'Get Up'
Sorry for the foolishness but that's me :) and I'm sort of a "one take" kinda gal! Lol. I've got lots of email to answer remember ;)
..to my own mother "YOU ARE MY STRENGTH, my HOME, my INTEGRITY, my HERO.."

MY HERO.​.​ for all our brave​ soldi​ers and their​ loved​
.​.​.​.​.​FOR ALL OUR BRAVE​ SOLDI​ERS AND ALL THEIR​ FAMIL​Y & FRIEN​DS.​.​.​.​.​
these​ are writi​ngs from befor​e but i thoug​ht it was appro​priat​e to dig them up becau​se of this new song:​
Also here'​s a link to an inter​view soon after​ we got back from the Middl​e East:​
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sixdegrees/2007/06/26/six-degrees-interviews-tey-tey-just-got-back-from-a-uso-tour-of-the-middle-east-hot-hot-
It took me a long time to write​ even a singl​e word about​ being​ in the Middl​e East.​
But from the momen​t I stepp​ed into the land where​ we Ameri​cans or peopl​e in gener​al are unsaf​e I felt my faith​ grow.​.​
Not that I lacke​d faith​,​ not at all.
But becau​se once again​ a momen​t such as this teste​d this very faith​
I'm alive​ and I'm thank​ful to have made it this far, in every​ sense​ of the word
I love that life has broug​ht me here
And yet I'm sad and threa​tened​ at what I see
Cause​ from now on I will never​ be the same even if I begge​d the Lord forev​er and a day
So I wept,​ and I wept,​ and I wept again​
I didn'​t think​ I'd have the stren​gth but I knew deep down I would​ find it again​
I knew I would​ be able to keep my head up high again​
I knew all along​ what I was there​ for
And for that,​ I am thank​ful.​.​
Here'​s the poem:​ MY HERO
we can only imagi​ne what goes throu​gh a soldi​er'​s mind
we can only imagi​ne the heart​ache they feel deep in their​ core
we can only imagi​ne the image​s they see
we can only imagi​ne these​.​
and in their​ minds​
it's quite​ alrig​ht somet​imes.​
they'​re convi​nced it's just anoth​er day
but deep down when they pray
they want to chang​e the uglin​ess aroun​d
they want to go home and not make a sound​
they want to make every​thing​ go away
each time that they pray.​
but deep down they also know that they must stay
for the sake of every​one they love they want to make this world​ a bette​r place​
for us and for the ones they carry​ in their​ heart​s
for the ones that matte​r most and know that it'​ll make a diffe​rence​ someh​ow.​
.. and it does.​.​
becau​se witho​ut the brave​s,​ the willi​ng,​ and the commi​tted we would​ have no heroe​s
they are our heroe​s
they are their​ famil​y'​s heroe​s
they are my hero.​

Trust..
It is often said that "friends" are angels..
..they say angels give gifts, perform miracles, are divine messengers.. so are FRIENDS.
Our friends are what makes us who we are.. our friends are our jewels in our crown of contentment.
Our friends are our substance.. they give us meaning.
..so here I am again searching for new ways, new words to let you know how much you mean to me :) As of today April 6, 2008 @ 2:32 am I receive thousands of messages a week, a day.. my manager keeps laughing at me because he KNOWS I can NEVER catch up. He says every email I send out there’s 50 more that come in.. So this is why I am writing this blog, to let you know that I do want hear from you, I do need to hear from you, I do appreciate hearing from you.. but I also need your understanding that I can’t even begin to answer EVERY kind word from you.. just know that I’m here and I will continue to make music, be here for you.. the best way I know how :) Please leave me messages, leave me 2, 3, even 20 per week if you must and TRUST that I treasure them.. always.. Here’s another video for you.. and oh, that music video I'm working on.. I hope to release it by next month if all goes as planned.
Thanks for asking!

TODAY
HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY !!!!!!!
It's a day that reminds us the importance of lightening up. They say a lighthearted sense of spontaneity is closely aligned with spirit..
Think of that brother or uncle who makes you laugh every time you see him. Or the friend who calls you up just to meet on the spur of the moment for ice cream.Don't you just love to be in their company? Lighthearted people posses a special gift.. of opening up our hearts to life, to honoring the child within. Thank you :) .......for being there .......for all your love .......for making me smile .......for making my day .......for making me laugh I sure hope I do the same for you.. always ;) http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=20062384&blogID=373053251
SEX on the beach..
Here’s an acoustic version of "Sex on the Beach"..
".. come on there’s a party tonight" - since it’s spring break and summer’s right around the corner :)
You’ve inspired me once again.. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
You’ve inspired me once again to record this and share..
Here are the lyrics, I have no definite title yet. So if you have any suggestions, talk to me :)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day if you celebrate or celebrated it! I know in Chicago where I grew up the lake is always ’green’ on St. Patrick’s Day.. they use non toxic dye .
I look in the mirror and the bruises are still there
I’m not sure how I got here and it hurts so bad
Why does it hurt so bad
Oh legs don’t fail me now
What does it mean not to know what the person you love is capable of
People look at me as if I’m not there
I’m just another girl looking for attention
Why does it hurt so bad
Oh legs don’t fail me now
What does it mean not to know what the person you love is capable of
Was I wrong to fight
Was I wrong to hate
Give me time to heal
Cause love is still here
Here's the video :)
I finished that new song. I titled it "Magic Words"
Here are the lyrics too:
Magic Words
And I said that I love you, in my head

And I said that I need you, but only in my head

I never said what I really felt

But I would hope you knew with every tear I shed

If we could turn back time 
I'd say those magic words


So now I sit here with my guitar

Singing these words from miles away

Wishing I'd said those magic words
I thought I’d be done with you by now
But something keeps bringing me back to you
Words in books, places we’ve been
A cup of coffee and everything else in between
If we could turn back time 
I'd say those magic words


If only you knew how much I do
If only I knew what meant to you
I’d have said those magic words
love always..
I just got this forward from an old friend. She doesn't have time to write me a note but I get these forwards from her once in awhile. Thought I'd share this one..
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's an other quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with
Easier?
The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.
You have definitely made a difference in MY life.. love always..

new song i just wrote
Here are the words in case you can't understand me :) It's not complete by any means but let me know how you like it anyways..
And I said that I love you, in my head
And I said that I need you, but only in my head
I never said what I really felt
But I would hope you knew with every tear I shed
If we could turn back time
I'd say those magic words
So now I sit here with my guitar
Singing these words from miles away
Wishing I'd said those magic words
And I said that I love you, in my head
And I said that I need you, but only in my head
I never said what I really felt
But I would hope you knew with every tear I shed
If we could turn back time
I'd say those magic words
So now I sit here with my guitar
Singing these words from miles away
Wishing I'd said those magic words
What I Love About You
You know what I love about you
It’s that you’re not me.
You’re not me, you’re not there, you’re you
And you wake up this nerve deep inside me that’s asleep most of the time
And it comes right up to my gut, my chest, my heart,
Right out of my skin
And it makes me feel and it makes me quiver
It consoles me, it fills me up and brings me to my knees
It brings me to a place I can’t go by myself
That’s what I love about you
No matter where you’ve been
No matter where you’re going
I want you beside me
I don’t want to lose this feeling cause it’s God, it’s prayer, it’s heaven, it’s hell
It’s whatever we call it
But that’s what I love about you
I love the way you make the hairs on my arms stand up from loving you
I love the way you make me think about you
I love the way you love me most
Cause I was doing my laundry actually
Taking the clothes out of the washing machine into the dryer
When I felt your love all over
Bent down doing my laundry and I had to stop
And cherish it because it was pure
It was simple
It was complete
It was true
And it was clear and I have no questions only why
Why me
Why so much
Why the only answer is it’s meant to be
It’s written in the stars
It’s written that you would love me
It’s written that you would love me unconditionally
And I accept.
I accept this gift from you to me
As I do my laundry.
#8 this week!
"Tell Me" is #8 on the TOP 50 Urban playlist! Thank you ALL for listening!

"Who Dies"
"Who Dies" is the book that comforted me last night as Heath Ledger's death kept ringing in my heart for more reasons than one. When I first heard the news I again was faced with the fact that 'life IS short and we can all go at any time'.
As some of you know, I lost a dear friend on Sunday evening March 4, 2007, and Heath Ledger's death took me right back to that same evening, to those same moments, the same minutes, the same day, the same dread, the same pain.
Death is tragic.. and sometimes more tragic when someone is so young, so talented, so full of promise and hope. My friend was also that. He was an Emmy-nominated songwriter/producer. He just won a 2007 Billboard award. Ron Fair, chairman of Geffen Records described him as '..a great musical talent & genius, who hadn't even begun to tap his full potential yet.' He was at the top of his game when he died.
Grief has a lifelong impact. So I find myself again reaching for those same books that have comforted me over and over, those same friends, those same memories. And for that I am thankful.
Grief separates you.. from other people, even from yourself.
No one knows how, when, why, it just exists. Grief.. and at that moment, there is no place to hide. There is nothing you can do to make it go away. All you can do is be.. in that moment.
I give you this snippet of one of my writings then.
"It's been 10 days since you left and I can't get you out of my mind.
It's hard to believe I've been crying for 10 straight days.
Every day I think it'll get better but there's always something else.
I keep thinking I'd run out of tears but I haven't yet.."
It gives me comfort knowing you're all there.. And I hope to give you comfort in being here.. In being me :)
So in the face of grief.. surrender. Let it open you. Let it turn your life around. Let it make you the person you've always wanted to be. "What is often called tragedy holds the seeds of grace". And we see that what brings us grace is not always pleasant, though it is certainly essential.
Much love.. more love than before..

Isang Linggo Na Naman
I decided to write this blog because even though my song "Isang Linggo Na Naman" is in 'tagalog' (native language of the Philippines) I perform it alot at shows even when no one understand what the heck I'm saying in words.. but they do understand what I'm saying in my heart and soul. It's true that "Music is the Language of the Soul".
It amazes me to see and know that language ISN'T a barrier all. I think it actually joins us and brings us closer to understanding one another. I never really expected to sell many of my 'Mouthful of Love' CD to non filipinos, but I have :) And that alone has shown me the pure beauty of 'embracing' our differences. And I appreciate you for embracing mine..
So for James in Shreveport, Louisiana (who wrote me this morning with this - "I really love the song Isang Linggo Na Naman. Could you tell me what it means?"), for my Minnesota fan who's favorite is this, my French fan who was one of the first ones to buy the album, one of my drummers, Mike my tour manager who always encourages me to sing it, Michael of Here and There Zine who supports me without hesitation and doubt, for the many soldiers in the Middle East who embraced this song and even requested me to sing a 'tagalog' song, for all of you.. I am humbled.
Here's what the ISANG LINGGO NA NAMAN is all about. It's about these lovers who only see each other on weekends. It's actually quite entertaining and a bit comedic how she describes her week without him, or even special occassions sometimes without him (if it lands not on a weekend :). "isang linggo na naman" really is saying '.. yet another week.. without you.. waiting..' enjoy! and as always.. I'm glad you're listening :)
Below is the album ( !!! ONLY $5 this week for ALL !!! ) and a more detailed translation.
love always,
Tey
Isang linggo Na Naman
I. Tuwing Huwebes ng gabi, 'di mapakali
Biyernes ng umaga, ako'y namamalengke
Sinisiguradong wala ng kulang
Mayroon ng pelikulang narentahan
Alas siyete y media ako'y handa na
Sa pagdating mo, sa pagdating mo
(every thursday night i'm restless
friday morning i'm shopping making sure i get everything we need, rented a movie, 7:30 at night i'm all ready.. for when you come.. when you come..)
II. Linggo ng tanghali lalakad ka na
Hahagkan mo ako, yayakapin kita
Habang palayo na ang sasakyan mo
Heto na naman ang mga luha ko
Hindi na nasanay sa situwasiyon ko
Umaasa na lang sa pagbabalik mo
(sunday afternoon you leave and we embrace
as you drive off here comes my tears again
i can't get used to this
just dreaming of the moment you come back again)
CHORUS
Isang linggo na namang maghihintay
Isang linggo na namang magkahiwalay
Isang linggo na namang
Buhay ko'y kulang na kulang
Isang linggo na namang maghihintay
(..yet another week.. waiting
yet another week.. without you
..another week my life's missing a piece)
III. Tuwing araw ng Pasko
O kaya birthday mo
Kung hindi rin lang Biyernes, pasensiya ako
Kung hindi advance ay belated na lang
Nag-ce-celebrate ako na parang buwang
Pero Biyernes Santo ay akin ka lang
Hanggang Linggo, o hanggang Linggo
(every Christmas or your birthday
if it's not on a friday, then there's nothing I can do
we either celebrate it before or after. i feel insane celebrating it on the day by myself
but come 'good friday', you're all mine.. until sunday, until sunday)
CHORUS
IV. Mga kapitbahay nagtataka na
Hindi maharap mga titig nila
Hindi importanteng maintindihan
Ang mahalaga'y ang ating sumpaan
Kahit ano'ng hirap ay titiisin
Basta huwag ka lang mawala sa akin
(i can't face our neighbors' stares
but it doesn't matter if they understand all that matters is our promise to one another
no matter how hard this life is i will endure, cause i don't want to be without you)
Isang linggo Na Naman
I. Tuwing Huwebes ng gabi, 'di mapakali
Biyernes ng umaga, ako'y namamalengke
Sinisiguradong wala ng kulang
Mayroon ng pelikulang narentahan
Alas siyete y media ako'y handa na
Sa pagdating mo, sa pagdating mo
(every thursday night i'm restless
friday morning i'm shopping making sure i get everything we need, rented a movie, 7:30 at night i'm all ready.. for when you come.. when you come..)
II. Linggo ng tanghali lalakad ka na
Hahagkan mo ako, yayakapin kita
Habang palayo na ang sasakyan mo
Heto na naman ang mga luha ko
Hindi na nasanay sa situwasiyon ko
Umaasa na lang sa pagbabalik mo
(sunday afternoon you leave and we embrace
as you drive off here comes my tears again
i can't get used to this
just dreaming of the moment you come back again)
CHORUS
Isang linggo na namang maghihintay
Isang linggo na namang magkahiwalay
Isang linggo na namang
Buhay ko'y kulang na kulang
Isang linggo na namang maghihintay
(..yet another week.. waiting
yet another week.. without you
..another week my life's missing a piece)
III. Tuwing araw ng Pasko

no matter how hard this life is i will endure, cause i don't want to be without you) 2008! A fresh start!
It's a NEW year!!! A new chapter, new questions, new answers, new dreams, new hopes, new changes, etc.. a new year!!! I'm glad alot of you have shared how it's been good so far, and that's wonderful to hear!
Now I dare you once again to dream.. They say "only dreams give birth to change".
What are your most private aspirations? I would love to know.. but even if you don't feel like sharing here.. I want the most important person - YOU - to know it, to trust it, cultivate it, to live it.
My most private (well not so private anymore), it hasn't been for quite some time now. Is to be able to be there for everyone who needs me. I have always had the compassion to feel, to be there for my friends and family and I only wish I had more time to share, to listen, to truly be there. But through the years I have found a way.. I way to share, I way to listen, I way to truly be there.. and that is simply through my MUSIC. And that is what I live for.. Once again I have to share how you've all been such a blessing to me. Thank you for listening and always know that I am here for you..
Happy NEW year!!!
Write your most private aspirations privately or here if you want or need to, because it has to come out one way or another for you to be able to TRUST it and LIVE it. Dreams DO come true.. this I know :)

.. And for that I Am Thankful
It took me a long time to write even a single word about being in the Middle East.
But from the moment I stepped into the land where we Americans or people in general are unsafe I felt my faith grow..
Not that I lacked faith, not at all.
But because once again a moment such as this tested this very faith
I'm alive and I'm thankful to have made it this far, in every sense of the word
I love that life has brought me here
And yet I'm sad and threatened at what I see
Cause from now on I will never be the same even if I begged the Lord forever and a day
So I wept, and I wept, and I wept again
I didn't think I'd have the strength but I knew deep down I would find it again
I knew I would be able to keep my head up high again
I knew all along what I was there for
And for that, I am thankful..
