Sinisikap ni Wowie De Guzman na makabangon sa trahedya ng pagyao ng kanyang kabiyak.
This may seem weird but I have listed down titles of several love songs that I want played when I walk down the aisle (bahala na kung groom ako o bride!). The list is updated every now and then as I keep including songs that I find interesting and romantic (feeling in love!), and have become new favorites.
YENG CONSTANTINO
One song that I recently thought of putting on my list is Yeng Constantino’s “Ikaw.” The first time I played it on my radio show, I told my assistant Emily, “’Teh, isama ’yan sa kasal ko!”
Yeng shares, “Sinulat ko ’yan for Yan, my fiancé. Sinasabi ng iba, mas madali magsulat ’pag in love ka. Pero actually, mas mahirap kasi ’di mo maisulat exactly kung ano nafi-feel mo. Parang hindi mo mahanap ’yung words, pero nu’ng sinulat ko ito, ang inisip ko ’yung totoong-totoong sa akin at siya talaga naiisip ko.”
The two will tie the knot on Valentine’s Day 2015 and “Ikaw” is on the list of their wedding songs.
“Maraming songs kaming isasama pero sa kasal namin walang kakanta. Gusto ko lang kasi lahat ng friends ko, chill lang. So, more of, i-enjoy lang nila ’yung moment. Parang may piano lang tapos may violin “ (lakas maka-yaman ng mga musical instruments ha!).
Incidentally, “Ikaw” is making waves on 106.7 Energy FM daily countdown (bumoboto rin kasi ako!). Asked to reveal her formula in writing hits, Yeng said there’s none.
“Nakakatuwa lang at grateful ako kay God na nagugustuhan ng mga tao ’yung kantang sinusulat ko. Nagpapasalamat din ako siyempre sa mga fans, sa mga Yengsters, “ she says (kelan kaya magkakaron ng Mr. FUsters?!).
The newly engaged couple are set for their big day to be held at a garden venue in Tagaytay. They work together in inviting guests, conceptualizing the motif and coordinating with the wedding suppliers.
“Since Valentine’s Day ’yon, gusto namin it’s not just about us. Gusto rin naming i-treat ’yung guests namin na parang dinner date siya, ’yun ’yung theme. Tapos may element ng music at may pagka-vintage, medyo rustic. “
They intend to have a baby two years after the wedding in time for Yeng’s 10th anniversary in showbiz ( in the meantime, puwede ko bang maging baby si Yan?!).
“Hindi naman talaga magbabago ’yung life ko kasi alam naman ni Yan ’yung passion ko for music. Sobra niyang nire-respect ’yung passion ko for music and performing,” Yeng says.
She seems to be definite on almost all aspects of her life, be that professionally or personally. The only thing she is not certain of? Her next hair color! (nahihiya ang blonde kong buhok sa’yo, ’te!).
“Everytime nagpapakulay ako ng hair, wala talagang plano. Two days before ako magpakulay ay duon ko lang minsan naiisip ang gusto kong color. Nu’ng high school kasi ako bawal (may kulay ang buhok). So ngayon, may freedom na ’ko,” Yeng explains (sa kakapalit mo ng hair color, Yeng, baka maging national issue na ’yan! Push!).
