Who Dat

O si, mi nombre es Romeo Ceniza Mascariñas. My friends call me quite a number of nicks: Romy, Meo or Romimash. I'm a musician by trade and not so recently went into songwriter in addition to my many 'gigs' here and there. I've been a musician and bandplayer all my life but I also love to listen to quite a number of commercial music on the airwaves. My musical influences range from rock to jazz, to pop, classical (every once in a while) and lately, hip hop. But I do hold on to the Eagles as one of my most favorite groups and influences of all time and as the band who really got my attention as terms of sounds and performance. Call them my heroes if you may.

In the world outside of music, needless to say, it's all about family. Family is where I find life -solace and joy, comfort and thrill - especially when I'm with my beloved one and and the two apples of our eyes, the kids. What can I say... they are God's answer to my unanswered prayers. Apart from them life doesn't have much meaning, if there is any at all. Then, of course, my blood-family: my parents and siblings. To them I owe most of everything: birth, education, friendship, moral and all kinds of support imaginable, encouragement, love, life, etc. Again, apart from these significant people of my life, there's not much life support and I might as well stay in my own nothingness. What a blessing they are to me and I feel so good and lucky!

As far as music is concerned... oh, what a gift and added blessing it is to what I already have!

INDECISION

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by J. Ann Talisic, Romeo Mascariñas &
J. Roel Lungay

1
Indecision
Reflects uncertainty
Prevents our moving on.
Vindication
Excuses that we make
To hide away the truth.

2
Irreligion
It's messing up the faith
It's really going deep.
Invocation -
A need to make a plea
It's a real deal.

Refrain:
There's no regret, no illusion
Not sign of regress or confusion
Violence feeds revolution.
Avoid bad emotion,
Embrace high ambition -
Life is too precious
We have to move on.

3
Domination -
Competition everywhere,
Can't see the finish line.
Hard condition -
Imprisonment for all;
We have to free ourselves.

Bridge:
Evolution
With all its growing pain
Creation at its best.
Animation -
It brings us life again
A glorious day begins.

(Repeat Refrain twice)

Coda:
Indecision
It's something we can't keep
We need to move along.
Indecision
No matter if it's deep
We have to move along.

(Repeat Coda while fading)

Our Hearts Rejoice

----------------------------------
OUR HEARTS REJOICE

Words and music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Nanan Mortejo and Jennifer Ann Talisic

1
Our hearts rejoice
On this blessed day of new beginnings
You caused our paths to cross.

2
In rapt, in love
These things that come from you alone
Binding us together
Drawing us closer to each other.

Refrain:
You wove our hopes & plans to reality
This blissful wondrous dream into one destiny
To face boldly our tomorrow
As we live as one.
Bearing sun and rain along the way,
Bravely pursuing secure in your hands.

(Repeat 1 & 2)

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
What more could we ask
You’ve given your lamp to blaze our trails
Ever leading, never leaving
On this our wedding day
Onward, thank you
Thank you, Lord (Thank you, Lord)
Thank you.

Way Back When

This title alone suggests a distant past. Wow! How far back in time, only the mind or memory can tell. But what a journey it has been and still is going. What lies ahead, if anyone can see beyond today, I don't even dare guess. I'm just so thankful of what my present lays before me. What a blessing life truly is! And I owe it all to God, who is good all the time!

Take a look at this...

The 4 Blessed Looks


Look back and "Thank" God.

Look forward and "Trust" God.

Look around and "Serve" God.

Look within and "Find" God!"


An illustration of a semi-embarrassing way back when when we were care-free and non-sensical, whoaaaah!!! I'm glad I wasn't actually present when they posterized this one, hahaha.

MISSING YOU

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Jennifer Ann Talisic

1
When you disappear
Never to come back
Quite some pourin’ tears
Did you ever think of that?

2
You made some enemies
They hate you oh so bad
What you gonna do,
Really hurt me bad?

Refrain:
Missing you, missing you, missing you
Really do, really do, really do
Please come home, please come home, do come home
I really need your love, oh yeah!

(Interlude)

3
Mind is getting tired,
Eyes are getting dry,
Heart is always sad,
Wishing you come back!

4
Oh, please don’t make it hard
Open up your heart
Hear to what I say
I’m waiting every day!

(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
I’m really reaching out to hold you, baby, yeah
It’s just a matter of time you’ll be mine
I’m begging you, I’m begging you
Promise me, please
Don’t ever let go!

(Repeat Refrain)
