My baby, I’m sorry if I always put you through a lot of stuff everyday … I know it’s my fault because I tend to do a lot of things that I always don’t think about at first. It is true that you’re always on my mind - everything I do, I always think, ‘what if you were right there watching me ….’ I do things that I think would seem right to you, but sometimes it’s not nearly enough for you and here I am - making another mistake.Baby, I love you ever so much, and the last thing I want to do is always hurt you, it upsets me that I do it everyday, even with the little things that I do and you find fault in me. I admit sometimes it’s a little too much to handle at times, coming from you and I always want to give up, but whenever you tell me that you only act this way, think this way, only because you love me so much - everything else fades.

Love always,

Ayee

Baby,

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine…
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

_Ayee_

I know there’s an ocean between us,
and I wish that it weren’t true,
for every day when I arise,
I yearn to be with you.
Though a lot of distance lies between us,
you’ll always be in my mind and my heart,
And every night beneath the stars,
I pray for the day we’ll never be part.

I know someday we will meet and spend our lives with each other. I have waited for someone like you, and now that I have found you I will never let you go. I love you so much!

- Ayee

Im so happy when his already mine,

He was happy and contented he said

But I don’t know if its true,

I was so happy when he said that I complete his life

and made him see the other part of the world,

He proved me that their not all the same,

And I love him so much

more than he ever know,

I treasure every moment we spend together

Coz once in my life I found somone like him,

Somone whom I can call a man rather than a boy,

Somone who always made me feel special

that I still have my worth no matter how imperfect I am,

Im so thankful that he came into my life

I’ve learned so much from him,

But wait what is this feeling I can’t explain,

A feeling that you don’t love me anymore and it really hurt

I don’t want to let you go but if it makes you happy i’ll let set you free

And maybe you found someone else better than me

I’ll just have to admit that you were already gone

I’ll just have to pretend that I am strong to face day without you

I must face the fact that I was not meant for you

But why i always end up with the wrong one
whom i thought he will be my last.

Ayee

Someone exactly like you….

Finding the right person is very hard and very wrong. It is best to be the right person for the one you love and start from there. You’ll always end up disappointed when you set standards and define
a "right person" for you…and don’t rush things coz  somewhere somehow God is preparing somebody for you."

Don’t be in a hurry to get into a relationship because you can never find love if you insist that you are already into it. Try to find time to really understand your real feelings, to know who you
really are, and what you really want in a relationship.

You’re right, there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship, but there’s a compatible partnership that goes along with it. If you already knew that you’re too big to fit into a small sized t-shirt, don’t give it a try. You’ll probably break it and pay for the damages you have made. If you knew and felt that the relationship will not last, don’t go deeper into it. You’ll just suffer the consequences and live like hell for the rest of your life. It’s really hard to say goodbye though, but you can’t make it any better by just pretending you still have the same feelings. Try to let go and give yourself a chance to live life to the fullest. Give yourself a chance to grow and give your heart a much needed attention. Then you
will find that you have made the right decision and you made it all by yourself.

We call it love when we can’t leave someone and see them crying as we try to let go. We are wrong, it’s just pity. We call it love when we’re too attached and think that losing the one we love will
somehow make us weak and unable to face the storms of life. We misunderstood; it’s just that we’re too much dependent to them. We call it love when we give our whole life to them, the wholeness of us and imagined that if they leave, no one would accept us and our past. We are mistaken, its just insecurity. But no matter what the definition is, the truth still remains that love isn’t something you can buy or beg. It is real and existing. You can’t touch
it but you can feel it in your heart. You can’t find it, but it will knock before you when you least expect it to come. It can make you the happiest soul in heaven, but don’t forget that it can also make you
the most miserable person in the whole galaxy.

"When you lose someone… and you think you
were the one who loved most, between the two of
you… he lost more. For someday you can love
someone the way that you loved him…But he will
never be loved again the way that you did."

Love Letter, Kitchie Nadal’s sophomore album, is now available at selected Caltex Star Marts throughout Metro Manila. Love Letter features Highway, a mid-tempo love song to God, as well as 16 other songs, including Armour Bearer, Iniibig Kita, Beautiful Jesus, Grace, Walk on Water, and Lalaland.

I picked up my copy of Kitchie Nadal’s Love Letter (Starmart on Julia Vargas corner Meralco Avenue, for PHP280), and I am blown away by the quality of the packaging! Instead of your cookie cutter CD case, Love Letter is packaged in a small envelope made of thick recycled paper, rather like a real letter. When one opens Love Letter, one picks out several sheets of paper with scribbled lyrics, doodles and drawings, even a postcard and what looks like a Polaroid photo. Absolutely exquisite! I haven’t seen this kind of quality packaging since underappreciated N/A Records artist Raynn, whose album was a groundbreaking masterpiece of design.

What about the songs? It is my pleasure to report that Love Letter is a stunning masterpiece of contemporary Philippine music. This album is an absolute gem, with producers including Jack Rufo, L. Middeldorp, and – GASP! – Cynthia Alexander! I actually noticed shades of Cynthia’s sound in Highway, even beyond the Alexander-produced Iniibig Kita, one of my personal favorites on the album.

The fire of Kitchie’s bravery in singing of her relationship with Jesus Christ, the fire that started with Kitchie’s self-titled debut album, has exploded into a full-blown inferno on Love Letter. The entire album is a love letter to Jesus, and I think the reaction of both fans and first-time listeners to this unfettered testimonial to Christ’s love will range the gamut of human emotion to something unusual: it can be an encouraging testimonial or an offensive turn-off. I, for one, am definitely part of the former: Love Letter is unabashed and unashamed in declaring a fascination and gratitude with Kitchie’s Redeemer, and I applaud Kitchie for deciding to take this next step in her career and use that influence to reach others with the message of what happens to someone when she has a relationship with Jesus. Whether she croons how she wants to live her life selfless and secure (Beautiful Jesus) or surrender to grace (Grace), Kitchie’s songs put a very real vulnerability on her relationship with Jesus, and in doing so, joins the rare ranks of Filipino artists whose careers stand to become even more stellar because of their desire to take risks.

This blog post provides a sample of Highway, the first single off Love Letter. I strongly encourage you to go out to your friendly neighborhood Star Mart and pick up a copy of Love Letter. At PHP280 and 17 songs with one of the most creative album packaging designs in recent memory, Love Letter is one original Filipino album you must not allow to leave out of your record collection. AND BUY LEGIT!

Highway Lyrics
Kitchie Nadal
Off the Be.Live album LOVE LETTER

Do you know where the light comes from and darkness lives,
So you can take me by the hand and lead me home when I am lost?

You are the highway
Apart from you are roads downhill
You are the highest way
The truth and the life
There’s no other road for me

Speeding through wide open space
City cousins and the rolling plains
Chart the routes of the thunderstorms
Carve the canyons for the downpours of the rain

You are the highway
Apart from you are roads downhill
You are the highest way
The truth and the life
There’s no other road for me

Thousands may fall on my sides
But I will drive as I read the signs
Keeping my eyes on the morning star
Turning right
I keep turning right

You are the highway
Apart from you are roads downhill
You are the highest way
The truth and the life
There’s no other road for me
