Sometimes we are so busy being happy that we forget to give back
to society - to help the poor (read: the broken hearted), the needy (read:
those who refuse to move on) and the unemployed (read: those who have moved on
but are single).
Moving on is a very difficult process. It is even an
understatement to describe it as difficult (trust me I've been there) and it
takes a lot of time, effort and conviction to realize that you need to get
yourself out of a situation that is no longer doing you any good.
Ayaw nyo pa mag move-on? Hala sige,
pakalunod kayo kakaiyak as if naman babalikan pa kayo nun. Kung ready naman
kayo na makalimot at magbukas ng bagong chapter sa mga buhay ninyo, then read
on.

In my own little way, I would like to do my share by helping those
who refuse to move on from their broken hearts and their failed relationships.
I am recommending the following breakup songs for them:
1. The Day You Went Away (Wendy Matthews)
Panalo ka dito. You'll feel like as if
your world will fall apart. Take it from me, naka-relate ako dito.
Ta-tanga-tanga ka kasi.
2. Love Me Like The First Time (Stacy
Lattisaw)
Sige, mag-ilusyon ka na babalikan ka pa
nya. Hello... hindi. Move on ka na lang....dami mo pang arte.
3. I Just Had To Hear Your Voice (Oletta
Adams)
The first time I played this song... kala
ko naman feel good song ito... hindi! Ayan, kung di ka pa kuntento sa kakaiyak,
tawagan mo pa... pakatanga ka ulit!
4. Missing You (Case)
Isa pa to. Lalo na, this is one of the
songs I last gave my ex para sa ipod nya. Aba malay ko ba naman magiging
relevant ito. (Come to think of it, may 2 cds pala ako sa ex ko.. o
well.....good luck if I could still find a copy of those)
5. Love Will Find A Way (Blessid Union of
Souls)
Ito ay isang version ng Wishing And Hoping
And Praying. Uhm... hello, move on na nga eh ano ba!
6) Why (Avril Lavigne)
Kung psychologist ka naman or pshychiatrist
or plainly psychotic.. ito ang song for you. Hala ubusin mo ang oras mo
kakaisip bakit ka nya iniwan. Hint: Di ka na nya mahal... weeeeh! Dali move on
na!
7. Back Here (BBMak)
I love BBmak.. pero nunca na magustuhan ko
itong kantang ito. Naman.. Back here? Hello.... ilusyunado ka? Feeling mo
babalikan ka? Untog mo nga yang ulo mo!
8. I Wish I Wasn't (Heather Headley)
I recommend the dance version, the one
that comes as part of Anton Ramos' Chillout Project. Bakit? Eh dahil gusto ko
eh, bakit ka ba nangingialam ha? Ako ang author!
9. Teardrops (Lovestation)
Anyway hindi ako mahilig sa sobrang emote
na songs so I am recommending this.
10. Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis)
Isa pa to.. again, get the dance remix
version. At pwede ba, go out on a date!
There are still a lot of beautiful songs
to choose from but ayoko i-recommend coz MOVING ON is what were trying to
accomplish here.
Sa mga nagaatempt mag-move on at sa mga
nakapag-move on na, these songs are for you:
1. I Never Loved You Anyway (The Corrs)
This is my number one. I make sure na
kapag iniwan ko or iniwanan ako, hindi ko babalikan.
2. Girl Friend (Avril Lavigne)
Ayan, this song is telling you to flirt,
go out on dates and find a new GF/BF. Dont worry if at the first few attempts
you dont find the right person.. Hello, remember you're on the rebound, take it
easy muna. Remember, we dont make mistakes, we just date them.
3. Migraine (Moonstar88)
I like this one in particular. Its you
telling yourself TAMA NA. Umayos ka na kung ayaw mo masaktan or kung ayaw mong
saktan kita.
4. All Good Things (Come to An End) (Nelly Furtado)
Again... wag magpakadalubhasa in trying to
figure out what went wrong. Carry lang yan.
5. The First Cut Is The Deepest (Sheryl
Crow)
Now this is truly a moving on song. Its
you telling your new partner that you're ready to fall in love again.
6) Not Ready To Make Nice (Dixie Chicks)
Kung bitter ka pa rin sa kakainom ng
Charantia... ito ang para sayo.
7. Outta My Head (Ashlee Simpson)
This is you forcing to get your ex off
your mind.. off your heart na rin. Malay mo sa kaka-listen mo nito matauhan ka.
8. Moving On Up (M People)
Panalo din ito. Listen to it. Sabi ko
listen... hindi dance to it.
9. Another Suitcase In Another Hall
(Madonna)
Its you telling yourself you're moving on
despite not knowing how. May kokontra pa ba kay Madonna?
10. Apologize (One Republic)
You tell yourself at this point, whatever
left unsaid or not discussed by you and your ex... wala na yun... apologize nya
mukha nya di ba. Hayaan mo na yung tao... tandaan mo palagi, be kind to
animals.
11. Can We Still Be Friends (Todd
Rundgren/Mandy Moore)
Leche ka, naghahanap ka talaga ng sakit ng
ulo ano? Anong friends friends ka dyan? As a general rule, if you and your ex
were friends first before you became an item, then by all means, be friends.
Kung hindi naman, tigilan ang ilusyon (sabagay libre mangarap) and dont bother
your ex. Remember, kung mahal ka nun, di ka iniwan nun hehehehehe.
12. Slow Me Down (Emmy Rossum)
The process of moving on is also a healing
process. Wag madaliin. If you want to just sleep around then do so with no
strings attached. A good advice... sleep with your ex's ex! Hahahaha .......
Trust me, you'll learn a lot.
13. Goodbye My Lover (James Blunt)
Ayan tama yan.. Mag-Goodbye ka na..
nag-goodbye na nga yung tao sayo eh! Isa pa.. ang training wag kalimutan..
hindi tayo umiiyak, tayo ang iniiyakan.
A saying goes: "Time doesn't heal old
wounds. It just blurs the memory and softens the pain". I don't really know who first said that but it
makes sense. You don't need to force yourself to forget outright, rather, allow
yourself to heal and to learn from all of the heartaches. In time, it will make
you a much stronger and a better person.
Remember, we all deserve to be loved. That love may not come now,
but it will be always there waiting for us when we learn to open new doors and
welcome it in.
Siguro naman by this time nakapag-isip-isip ka na. O tayo na dyan,
punasan ang mga luha at itabi ang tissue box. Maligo ka at ayusin mo yang
sarili mo. Take care of your self.
Now smile and be happy. You deserve it.
