“ABS-CBN o GMA7, ABS-CBN o GMA7… Original o Pirated”
The opening line is “Bombardment” by Dong Abay.
I heard in the news about the gaya-gaya issue of Freddie Aguilar towards Charice Pempenco, Arnel Pineda and Gary V. He said something like why Charice and Arnel didn’t sing some Filipino songs when they are invited in some shows or have gigs on a foreign land.
A while ago when I was playing with the remote control I saw Sandara Park. She is now at her own land, Korea and she has a girl group called 21. I saw their music video at Myx. Anyways, the chismis show has this video showing her singing her hit song “In or Out”. It is a Tagalog song and she is singing it at her own land Korea and if I’m not mistaken she is pure Korean. I guess Ka Freddie saw that video.
What a shame.
A pure Korean is there at her own land singing a Tagalog song. Of course Koreans doesn’t understand what she is singing.
Sure, Charice and Arnel are making us proud because they are all over the world bringing us pride and joy. These two got the fame because of covering some foreign songs. I think Freddie Aguilar is quite right. If Sandara, a pure Korean who lived here for quite number of years and sings Tagalog song in front of thousands of her own kind why not Charice and Arnel. They are 100% Filipino. No foreign blood attached
What a shame.
When I saw that video of Sandara I realized that behind this “krung-krung” girl is more than a Filipino to some of us. She still knows to look back to the country who once loved her.
Then when I’m watching Channel V I saw these local bands playing at various places like Malaysia, Singapore etc… Well I am not sure if they are singing Tagalog songs but I am sure that they play their own compositions. That’s enough for me. That’s why I am for bands than singers, balladeers and pop stars.
So what I’m trying to say?
I don’t know. I’m still wasak today.

It’s a protocol; YOU NEED TO DIE TO BE A HERO, TO BE NOTICED

“and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life...”
In what I am seeing right now… I want to die… to be noticed…
When Francis M. is still around my brothers don’t know how to sing “Kaleidoscope World”. They wouldn’t even bother to play it on my laptop. But when he died, my ears are bleeding because they are singing it to death. They even let me download some of his songs. The same goes with Michael Jackson. When he is still alive we put more importance on his weirdness than his musicality.
It’s true that we just acknowledge a person when he or she is not around. We just take them for granted.
In Cory’s situation she is just acknowledge as a hero when she died. I mean do you really need to die to be a hero? She fought for democracy decades ago and just now when she died they come to realize that she could be another national hero. Yeah, maybe it’s better late than never. But if you could think about it, we really don’t know if she could really see us, if she knows what is happening right now.

I’ve got so many things to say. I don’t know if I can get all of them out.
First, I still don’t have a cellphone. My father is too thrifty. I am thrifty, but he is just too thrifty, and it’s annoying. I get depressed sometimes—not just because I don’t have a cellphone (though maybe that’s part of it), but the main issue is that they don’t give me things I like. I mean, I may not be the best daughter, but I behave—or I pretend to behave—the way they like. I don’t go anywhere past 9:00 p.m., I have good grades… so I guess I deserve a reward.
I don’t have internet at home. I go to computer shops every time I need to. And if you don’t know, my course is Business I.T., so I really need internet access! I don’t ask them for money to buy clothes, CDs, or books—I use all my own savings. As of now, I only have 20 bucks left. I just bought Bob Ong’s Kapitan Sino. I really want to get Paulo Coelho’s Veronika Decides to Die. When we were at National Book Store, I told my mom that I liked that book. She said she would buy it for me when it’s "salary time." Well, it’s almost August, and she told me that back in July. Damn it. I cry every time the cellphone issue comes to mind.
I am about to graduate this March, and I’m already planning my future. I told myself that I’ll apply to a call center because the salary is quite high. If I get around 10,000 to 20,000 pesos for my first job, I’ll give 5,000 to my parents, and the rest will be for my luho and maybe a little savings. With my first salary, I will buy the latest cellphone! I know I said before that I could live without one—and I still can—but it’s different now. I want something I’ve never had. I will also save some money for my "laptop fund." I hate my current laptop—REALLY!! DAMN IT!!
I’m also planning to go abroad, maybe anywhere in Asia or Europe. I also said before that I wouldn’t work abroad, but things change, and I am changing, too. I want to go abroad primarily not just to earn dollars, but because I want to be independent. A couple of years ago, I said I wasn't ready to go anywhere because I'd be away from my family and my favorite bands. But I said that when I was still young and thinking of stupid things. Now I am 19. I am much more mature than before.
A lot of notable people died this year—and we’re only halfway through it. Francis M., Michael Jackson, and now Cory Aquino. It made me realize that a lot of things can happen that we never expect. We are losing more and more iconic people who helped us rediscover words like Pinoy Pride, Democracy, and other values we wouldn't have learned without them.
