Sarah Geronimo — Ikaw [Official Lyric Video]
The lyrical narrative of "Ikaw" centers on the contrast between superficial relationships and genuine commitment. Geronimo sings about chasing "bahaghari" (rainbows) and losing dreams, only to find that most "wealth and friends" were wearing masks and disappeared when times got tough. The refrain, "Dahil ikaw lamang ang hindi lumisan" (Because you were the only one who didn't leave), serves as a powerful acknowledgement of a partner or friend’s unwavering presence. This theme of finding light in a "madilim na paligid" (dark environment) resonated deeply with audiences, cementing the song as a soulful anthem for those who value authenticity.

Sarah Geronimo’s released in 2007 as a standout track from her platinum-certified album Taking Flight , represents a pivotal moment in the "Popstar Royalty’s" career. While many of her early hits focused on grand, cinematic expressions of heartbreak, "Ikaw" offers a more grounded and intimate exploration of gratitude and loyalty. Composed by Medwin Marfil , the frontman of the iconic Filipino band True Faith , the song departs from typical romantic ballads to celebrate a "tunay na kaibigan" (true friend) who remains constant when others fade away. The lyrical narrative of "Ikaw" centers on the
Musically, the song is a classic OPM (Original Pilipino Music) ballad characterized by its steady build and Geronimo’s emotive vocal delivery. Arranged by Niño Regalado and produced by Alwyn Cruz and Baby Gil , the track balances a soft opening with a soaring chorus that showcases Geronimo’s vocal range without overshadowing the lyrics' sincerity. Its impact was immediate and lasting; "Ikaw" was named Song of the Year at the 2008 Myx Music Awards and the 2008 Awit Awards , two of the highest honors in the Philippine music industry.
Ultimately, "Ikaw" remains a cornerstone of Sarah Geronimo’s discography because it captures a universal human experience. It is not just a song about love, but a testament to the endurance of the human spirit when supported by a loyal companion. Ikaw by Sarah Geronimo - Lyrics
"Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

"That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression
of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
- George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture
"One of the most important and fascinating of all computer languages is Lisp (standing for
"List Processing"), which was invented by John McCarthy around the time Algol was invented."
- Douglas Hofstadter, Godel, Escher, Bach
"Lisp is a programmable programming language."
- John Foderaro, CACM, September 1991
"Lisp isn't a language, it's a building material."
- Alan Kay
"Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc informally-specified
bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp."
- Philip Greenspun (Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming)
"Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you
finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never
actually use Lisp itself a lot."
- Eric Raymond, "How to Become a Hacker"
"Lisp is a programmer amplifier."
- Martin Rodgers
"Common Lisp, a happy amalgam of the features of previous Lisps."

more time thinking than typing."

"Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is
to invent it."
- Alan Kay
"The greatest single programming language ever designed."

"Programming in Lisp is like playing with the primordial forces of the universe. It feels
like lightning between your fingertips. No other language even feels close."
- Glenn Ehrlich
"A Lisp programmer knows the value of everything, but the cost of nothing."

"Lisp is the most sophisticated programming language I know. It is literally decades ahead
of the competition ... it is not possible (as far as I know) to actually use Lisp seriously before reaching the
point of no return."
- Christian Lynbech, Road to Lisp
"[Lisp] has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously
impossible thoughts."
- Edsger Dijkstra, CACM, 15:10
