Mag fee-feeling muna ako….

“Nakita ko na ang lahat ditto… pinahihiwatig ng mata mo salamat na lamang sa iyo… ohhh mata mo”

Hayaan ninyo muna akong mag feeling. Minsan lang ito. Habang pauwi na pagkatapos manood ng Batman, sumakay ako sa jeep. Huling sumakay ang isang Ali look a like. Siyempre kamukha ni Ali, ang pinka gwapong lalake para sa akin, hindi ko maalis ang aking mata sa kanya. Pero siyempre di ko pinahahalata… pero anong magagawa ko katapat ko siya!! Lumipas ang ilang oras, bumaba na ang ibang tao, nakatapat pa siya sa akin… wala pa rin kasing bumababa sa hilera na inuupuan ko. Pero kay Ali look alike ang dami na. ang laki na ng space niya pero hindi pa rin siya umaalis asa tapat ko… so sabi ko, nag fee-feeling lang ako na type niya ako, o gusto niya ako katapat, pero umalis na ang lahat sa tabi niya, wala na siyang katabi, pero hindi parin siya umalis sa pwesto niya at napapansin kong nakatingin din siya sa akin…. at ng pababa na ako… aba bumaba na din siya!!!!! Malapit lang ang bahay niya sa akin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mahal na kita Ali look-alike… tayo na…
Kanina naman ang aking medyo cute na guro, habang may fire alarm, pumunta ako sa medyo likod dahil masyadong mausok… aba pag tinigin ko sa aking kaliwa nandun na din siya………. Uuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyy….Type mo din ako…….???????
Hindi nag fee-feeling lang ako…..hahahaha…..pero maaring totooo…….waaaahhhh… pero bago pa non kasi nung nasa taas pa kami habang nag a-attendance pa siya ako yung huli pero alphabetical, so dapat medyo nasa una… abah! Hinuli niya ako at niloko pa ang surname ko…. Ako lang………. eh napaka ordinaryo lang ng surname ko……..
Feeeeler!

Let it be...

“Let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.”

People waited for it for almost 6 years. It was always the subject in their individual Yahoo! Groups. It was the topic at every high school/college reunion, inuman session, tsismisan, asaran, and kwentuhan.

News broke across the airwaves: the Eraserheads reunion will never be just a fantasy anymore. Fast forward to today—the reunion concert finally happened, but the unexpected occurred. Ely didn’t get to finish the two sets they were supposed to play. He was rushed to the hospital. I wasn't at the event, but I’ve seen some videos and the news is everywhere. Prior to the event, Ely’s mom died due to cardiac arrest—one of the most important women in his life was gone.

When I first learned about it, I thought the concert wouldn't push through. But because of professionalism—or maybe contracts (sorry, over-analyzing due to too many law subjects!)—he proved that nothing would hinder the reunion, even if someone so close to his heart had just passed away. That showed how much Ely values his fans and supporters. "The show must go on" might as well be Ely's motto. Damn all the reporters and gossip-mongers who said Ely was unprofessional. Ely finished the first set despite so many hindrances.

Raimund, Buddy, and Marcus were all so supportive. I loved Raimund’s positive attitude toward what happened. I never expected him to look forward to this reunion so much. Hearing Raymund talk about Ely is really something else, especially given all the past commotion between the two. The reunion always seemed impossible because of them. Raymund, Buddy, and Marcus were okay with each other; Ely, Buddy, and Marcus were okay with each other. But Raymund and Ely were another story. I don’t know if they’re completely fine now, but I know the anger or whatever was there has lessened. Let us thank time for healing those wounds.

This reunion makes you realize that anything is possible. You just need to give it time. Patience is a virtue, and when you wait, you never expect how much happiness it will bring. I wasn't at the event, I’ve never seen them live, and that makes me such a loser… hehehe… Kidding aside, I am just content to see them on one stage, even if it's just playing via YouTube videos or whatever. Seeing them on one stage is already exhilarating.

If there is an Eraserheads Reunion Part 2, I’ll be so happy and I’ll definitely try to watch it. But if it doesn’t push through, it’s still okay. The reunion happened. Period.

Now I’m wondering if the Eraserheads Yahoo! Groups will still be active now that the reunion has actually happened. I’ve been a member since 2004 or 2005, and the reunion was always the main topic.

Anyway, I hope Ely gets better soon. I know he is strong. Rock and Roll!!

Here is the letter from Raymund:

Dear everybody,

Before anything, I just spoke to Day Cabuhat and she informed me that Ely's condition is now stable, and they're very thankful for all your concern.

Thank you very much for coming to the show. We really felt the cheering, the singing, and the love you all gave. Thank you for understanding that the show had to be cut short. Ely was in no condition (emotionally, physically) to play, but he did. And he gave it his all, which is more than we could ask from him given the circumstances he was in.

We all wish him well. We are all confident that he will recover soon. I promise to give you another Eraserheads show as soon as possible.

Again, thank you very much.

— Raymund

“Reunited and it feels so good…Reunited cause we understood” (not sure with the line)

I’ve been waiting all these things that will be happening. Happiness is an understatement of what I am feeling. I’ve been praying for these. First today, my cousins will be here. They are my closest cousins, although ironically they are so far away from me. I’ve been dreaming about them since they left for vacation on July 2006. Second is about the Eraserheads reunion. I heard about it when there is a commercial at Channel 7. They are in the Saksi news. These past few weeks I am not able to catch news because I’m busy or I need to entertain or bond with our guess. Actually I have a lot of things in mind about the eraserheads reunion alone. I can post 100 more if I don’t need to do anything. So as I say it is confirmed ERASERHEADS IS BACK!!! But behind the good news is sad news because it is only for 1 night. If you will read my post about eraserheads you know what I am feeling right now. I’ve been waiting this for almost 3-4 years. I’ve never seen them live since I am still a baby back then. And now it is my chance to GO TO WATCH ERASERHEADS… but another sad news will be on my way. I don’t know if I can go. Anyways I don’t like what I read about the details in having a ticket. Yes it is free but since it is a Marlboro production some cigarette things will be included maybe like lighting one.

I am happy. Very happy indeed. I don’t know what brought them to reunite. Though I know it is coming. Nag ala Madame Auring ako. I heard a lot of things like about the money thing. For me as a desperate fan wanting to see them, I don’t care if they will do it because of money. If that is the only thing to let a million fans be happy it will be okay. I think it will not be a bad idea either. Now, with all our commodities are very expensive you’ll do anything to feed your family. What is buzzing around the metro is P 5-10 Million is the price each head to perform a 45 minutes set. I’ll repeat 45 MINUTES SET. Hanep hindi pa ginawang 1 hour. Well, libre naman… so as what I am saying, this reunion gig may be a step to let the four heads be in good terms like good ol’ days. Para mas marami pang reunion ang maganap.

I am HAPPY. I am happy that they made a wise decision. They decided to answer the question that is hanging since they disbanded if they will be reunited again and when. And we have an answer already. On August 30, just a few days after the Ber months, at CCP the much anticipated reunion in Philippine History will happen. get ready for your cameras, videos and what not!! A lot of people are depending to those who will take videos. And maybe I’ll be one of them. Oh well. I am still happy. Very happy!!!!!! Pwede na nga akong mamatay!!!!!

What if God was one of us?

June 29 (Sunday)

“Yeah, yeah, God is great… Yeah, yeah, God is good…”

I don’t know how to start my blog entry. It is because I have too many things to say. During the typhoon “Frank” it seems my tears joined the rampant rain. My brothers at that time were between life and death. Crying and praying is only the solution that I can think of. What made my feelings worst were when my dad cried at my side. It is something I will never forget and that made me cry for more. For the first time I also made a “text brigade” to my close friends to pray for my brothers.

There were many things that I and perhaps my family did that we didn’t thought of doing it. We are not really affectionate with each other. We don’t say I love you, happy birthday, so on and so forth. But now I we are all getting old we are beginning to show it. My brothers right now are very much alive and kicking. Our house is noisy again and things are going back to normal.

Wait a minute… our sufferings are not yet over. My grandfather just died when my brothers went home. His death is something expected since he is in death agony for almost a year now. But of course even if we say that we are happy because he died already so he ends his sufferings, at the back of my head it is still good of I see my grandfather at his couch lying.

This day is something significant for me. Today is Pacquio and Diaz fight. I think the last time I saw my grandfather was when it is Pacquio vs. Marquez (basta yung last fight niya). If not maybe it is my last few moments with him. At that time he still watched Pacquio’s fight even with his condition back then. Now I am thankful that Pacquio won again because I know that my grandfather will be happy for him. Actually as I write this the t.v. telecast is not yet airing but I tuned at the radio and found out that he won nga.

And it is airing right now. I think my grandfather is watching Pacquio’s fight right now. Maybe he is beside me… scary….

Bakbakan na!!

Busy as a bee

“These days I seem to find a million reasons to sit around and waist my mind”

A very tiring and stressful week indeed! Since I entered my third year in college a lot of things changed. Busy became an ordinary word for me and imagine I am only in my 2^nd week. Now I only can post less than 10 here at my blog. If you could see at my archives I can post as many as 30+ posts. Maybe blame it on my 6-9:00pm schedule during Wednesdays then on Thursdays I have 7:30 class. Maybe it is also the reason why I don’t have a dengue. My brother was diagnosed with dengue while my little brother is also at the hospital and results will be released later on. Yes, my two brothers are at the hospital fighting for their disease why they left me and our maid here alone. That is making me stressful! When I arrived at our home, my two dogs are the only one who greeted me.

On Mondays we don’t have a class and this Tuesday is Araw ng Maynila. It is my first time to love Manila’s Day. Because like last year the Manila’s Day is on Monday and I don’t have a class for that day so it is useless. When I am at first year it is on Sunday. Now I can really cherish it. I really need a break! I have eye bags already!!! But a lot of things still I needed to do. Thanks to my professors!

Marc marks the spot

“you can count on me, I’m gonna get it done get it done”

That’s what I am talking about. Musicians should takeover television. I am not really into watching telenovelas until I heard Marc Abaya will be on Ligaw na Bulaklak, I said I want to watch this for Marc’s sake. I really wanted to see him act since I saw his trailer for “Elegy” his independent movie. I really wanted to watch that movie.

Anyways, I saw him just today. At first I thought that Marc will be just an extra or whatever in the show since Roxanne has a leading man already. But I saw this commercial for their show and I saw Marc kissing Roxanne and if I’m not mistaken he also kissed Ara Mina. Astig! I have this state of mind that if you are in a band or rock band or a rock star, they will not do “masa” things like for others acting in for television.

Well Marc Abaya did everything tastefully. I saw some of his parts that will be shown tomorrow (naku, di ko mapapanood si Marc bukas) and he breaks rockstar stereotypes. Marc’s acting capabilities is a true statement that rock stars, musician or band members should replace those f*****g artist who doesn’t know how to act but always on t.v.
I’ll stop ranting and start watching for Marc.

Lagim is back

“Your face lights up the sky on the highway”

Strange but true Rico Blanco is back. When I arrived at home I saw this newspaper and it’s in entertainment section he is like in headline. It is stated there “Yes, it’s Rico Blanco” then I saw this picture. I thought it is an old newspaper from my “archive” so I thought it is an old issue. I got excited so I browsed it and saw that it is a current issue and he is really back. He is out with his new single. I haven’t heard it because I am busy nowadays.

Rico Blanco being a solo performer makes me think very much. What I mean is if he is still with Rivermaya, maybe they are very big Asian artist already. Maybe he is tired of it, or maybe tired of his management and band mates. I never think that he will go back in the music biz or like be a performer because he just left his band without notice and as what I know wala namang masamang nangyari before the break up. I thought he wanted a new career. Well I really like him back. For almost 1 year of hiatus, I missed him so much that I got tired of listening to his old songs, old interviews from magazines and as well as old videos. I did a “panic buying” nga eh. I bought the Rivermaya live and acoustic. It is only 150 nga lang pala pero it is with about 10 songs plus 8 videos. I also bought his last magazines with his former band.

Now I wonder will he ever sing rivermaya songs at gigs? kita kits sa gigs and let’s find out together.

But wait there’s more… I thought this post will be over. But as I write this down and while listening to NU 107 Independence special, I heard “Yugto” his new single.

This is unofficial lyrics of “Yugto” I just tried to write what I heard. Ni record ko lang… eto lang kasi yung pwede kong gawin… I can’t upload the song…
Yung bandang huli kasi hindi ko maintindihan…
Parang may paka orchestra… astig…



Sa gitna ng kagubatan may ahas na hahalik
Tatawagin kang kaibigan na pinka matalik
Pupulupot sa leeg mo sisipsip ng iyong dugo
Ipapako ka sa krus kapag ikaw ay natuyo

Sa gitna ng kaguluhan may kukulong bulkan
Di ma pigil ang yabang at sakdal na kasakiman
Susubukang angkinin ang lahat ng hindi kanya
Kung kaya kang paikutin tiyak paiikutin ka

Ngunit hindi nila kayang baliin ang iyong loob
Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo’y hindi malulubog

Lumiyab ka….

Sa gitna ng kadiliman may buwitre na nagmamasid
May magbabato ng putik ngunit walang mayayanig
Iiyak ang mga batang nahulugan ng candy
Laging mga problema sa iba’y sinisisi

Sa gitna ng kagubatan may ahas na hahalik
Itinuring mong kaibigan na pinka matalik
Feeling mo’y pupugutan dugo mo’y sisipsipin
Kapag wala nang mahanap ang ending mo’y sa bangin
Ngunit hindi nila kayang baliin ang iyong loob
Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo’y hindi malulubog

Lumiyab ka….

Tuwing hating gabi maririnig mo ang huni
Ng mga kaluluwang naliligaw
Lahat ng pera sa mundo hindi kayang gawin ito
Ang huwad na tao..

Saksi ang langit sa lahat ng naganap
Saksi ang langit sa …

Lumiyab ka….
May review for this song to be post later on since I need to do some things…

First day hi

June 10 (Tuesday)
“Nasasabik sa unang araw ng eskwela”

So here I am back to school like other 30 million ++ kids. It’s not my intention to go to school since it is the first day. I am studying for almost all of my life so I know the drill. First day is just meeting the teachers, orientation, rules etc, etc… but I also remember that it is also the catching up stage, the tsismisan, the kamustahan with my classmates… So I just tried to go to school coz I just miss hanging out with my friends and I only have 1 subject for this day. But I think that is also the reason why I can’t get out of my bed because I have only 1 subject for this day, it’s the 1st day and last but not the least the subject has a whapping zero units.

Awhile ago as I entered my beloved school (aysus, aysus) I already heard some of my former blockmates and they waved at me. Then when I am in our classroom reality hits me because it means me or we have new set of classmates. We waited for the professor but it turns out that it’s not our professor and scheduled have changed.

But I am really nervous, anxious, excited for tomorrow. First because I need to accompany my youngest brother to go to school since my mother is not available every Wednesday because she has some church activities. It’s my first time to do things like that. I am the only available because my class will start pa at 10:30. Speaking of 10:30, my subject for that is Statistics. I hate going back to the start. Then my dismissal will be 9:00pm. Ayos!


I bought banda mag nga pala featuring Pupil. I really love the pictures lalo na yung kay Ely at Wendell hahah astig!!

Pain in the hands of my love

June 1 (Sunday)

I think this poem entitled “Pain in the hands of my love” will tell what I feel. I saw this boy named Jepoy at Imbestigador. I am just so speechless

I was man slaughtered yet I’m still alive

The fervor of the gunshots still remains

Your unrelenting animosity

Flowing in my body intensely

I am the spawn from your womb

That you caressed for 9 long months

But I am greatly bemused

You bereft me of your love

That I’m longing to have

The vehemence you’re showing to me

Flows into my nerves

Dislodging you is an option I can make

But I didn’t

Cause you are still part of my fingerprints

That God baked

Mother is such a sweet word for many

Mother is a praise for everybody

But for me it is like a curse

Coz until I reached nirvana and the paradise

You will still be my mother I ought to have

Praning!

“Bakit ka na pra-praning isip mo’y laging gising… Ikaw ang gumagawa ng sarili mong problema kung masyado ka lang nag papaapekta sa mga bagay na walang ka kwenta kwenta lumabas ka na lang at manood ng banda”

I’m officially scared of long dark nights and blame it to my foolish and imprudent imagination. A while ago I awakened by someone who is calling for my mother’s name. Then I looked at my phone and it is 3:00 am. Sabi nga sa larong The Sims “didn’t your mother ever teach you manners it is not socially accepted to call at middle of the night”. So hearing him called my mother’s name for about 5 times I started to think eccentric things such as; when our maid heard the guy she opened the door then he has a gun so he shoot her then he entered our home and start to get things, or worst killing all of us. It is like a red carpet massacre. Hahaha… at that point I like to pee, but I’m afraid because the killer might outside our room and he is holding some gun or patpat. Then I waited… and waited for something to happen… then I saw my dad going to c.r. and I was really afraid for him because I though the “killer” is still outside. My heart pounded very fast like Lydia de Vega running for a race. My heart never pounded like that since I’m at my phil go. Co. class waiting for my class card. Then when it was about 5:00am I finished imagining things and I said to myself these things must end. So I went to c.r. to pee.

*You can’t blame for being paranoid or praning coz a lot of horrible things happened already in our home when it is in the middle of the night.

1^st my grandmother was killed.

2^nd we almost hit by a burglar

plus the countless massacre stories...

Until now I don’t know if someone really called my mother or it is just my dream. Leche kasi si John lennon eh… ka ka download ko lang kasi ng song niyang “imagine”… na l.s.s. ako… to end this post this is a quote from a game I am playing “Imagination is better than knowledge”. I really don’t know if there is such a quote like that or gawa gawa lang ng nag submit sa larong Flip words. But if that’s true it will make me happy J

Dead end

“I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wannaa know I don’t wanna know what I do without you”

Death is something we really don’t want to talk about but it is something we should really need to talk about. For example when an old person will say something about what he likes when he is dead or anything we always say “Wag kang magsalita ng ganyan”.

Maybe because we are really scared of what reality really is. Death is equals to end. And we hate endings. Now I’m scared because my parents are not getting younger anytime now. My father is already 60 while my mother is 47. And still all 4 of us are still in school and very much dependent with them. Like now my father didn’t work for two days now because he is having migraine or vertigo. He is senior citizen na but he is still working at sa Cavite pa. Imagine everyday back and forth Manila to Cavite. I know malapit na siyang mag retire and I really scared of that coz I think I need to work for them now. It’s pay back time ika nga. And I’m really scared with that kind of responsibility.

Now I said to myself I will not marry very old man. My reason is because I’m just scared that he might not see my children grow or achieved something. Yun lang naman yung kinakatakot ko.

I always think what will be my cost of death. Tapos if for example ngayon ako mamatay how my friends, classmates will know about that. Will someone cry for me? Will they say good things about me? Will I go to heaven or hell? So many questions…. Yet to be answered…

When I die, I want to be cremated. Because I saw the price differences and ang mahal pala mamatay. Mamatay ka talaga sa presyo. Tsaka gusto ko sandali na lang ang lamay. Mga 2-3 days lang. tama na ang dramahan… hehehehe…

As I always say, pag hindi na ako nag po-post ditto malamang sa hindi patay na ako… awooooooo!!!

Holy Kamote...2

“bawat klase niya ay tinutulugan… pumapasok lang hanggang umabot ang attendance… pagdating sa kalokohan siya ang number 1 hindi paiiwan”

As I read my post last year the same month I have this post like a summary about my 1^st year college. So I think I will do it again.

First semester is a lot of fun. I have a lot of business subjects. I was so happy to see my class cards for the 1^st semester because I have a lot of B’s. wala akong lower than B-. But everything changed when 2^nd semester came. I need again to drop my statistics subject. I have a D at Phil. Go. Co. my first ever D in my life. I repeat my accounting and it is kind of fun thing to do. This second year for my blockmates is kind of shaky. A lot of friendships are broken. It is like the year when they know the “tunay na kulay” or real color of their friends. It seems that my friends and I also went through a “test” but we still stick to each other. Sabi nga ng iba naming classmate kami nalang yung hindi nag wawatak watak.

One highlight for this year is our retreat. It is like a soul searching for me and I really learned a lot. This year I also got the chance to meet a lot of new friends. Another highlight for the year is when my friends and classmates made a surprise thingy for me for my 18^th b-day. I’m really astounded because they did something like that. I always treasure that.

The cutting classes, and other iskul bukol moments still happened even if we said we will not do it again but we lessen it a bit. Masaya itong taon na ito because it is our last year together as block mates. Even though I have problems about them about their attitudes they will be my forever favorite block mates. Hahaha!! so this year I’ll say 7 and a half rock stars

Music Buddy

“Radio U.F.O. Radio U.F.O Radio U.F.O”

I love my youngest brother because he is the one who accompanies me in listening music. he will turn 6 this June. But at the tender age of 3 or 4 he already sings “Pare ko”. Why? Just because of the “Tang ina” part. It is so funny to hear and see him singing that song because every time when the tang ina part comes he will whisper it to my ear because he is afraid that my parents will ear him. He listens to music very much. he likes Urbandub’s “Evidence” these days. Nakakatawa kasi mali mali yung lyrics niya sa kanya “he will give me bananas” ang tama eh “caught you in the arms of another. Hahaha… ang layo di ba? Actually he also listens to the songs I am listening. Nakakainggit because when I was in his age I listen to my “yaya’s music”. Like Bon Jovi, April Boy, Jessa Zaragosa and others. Then here comes my oldest brother, when we are child we listen to boybands like Backstreet boys, Boyzone, N Sync and other boybands na hit nung 90’s.

You wouldn’t believe that I just learned Bamboo is the former vocalist of Rivermaya when I am 14. I just learned to listen to Eraserheads at 15. I just learned what type of music I really like when I reached 14. So many years I wasted to not discover and listen to “good music”. Now I am currently downloading songs from The Beatles and Jeff Buckley. I also bought a Nirvana c.d. at Music One at Glorietta. Meron silang area na puro pre-owned albums. So I just bought it for 150 bucks. May kasabihan nga na “it’s better late than sorry”.

So ayun. You know I always like to have a sister because it is just different. Pero since my youngest brother understands what I like and even jams with me I’m contented because we can sing “Evidence” and “Pare ko” until the sun is up.

Sawa Factor

“at bakit ba pag sawa na ako biglang ayoko na?”

I am loyal to a artist or musician if he/she or they will bring me what I wanted or even bring more than what I want or expected to them. so if I get tired to the musicians they either nagging “too masa”, or nakakasawa lang talaga sila.

1) Calla Lilly- I must admit I really like them at first. I like their songs yung “Stars” and “Hold my Hand” but after that (ano ba yung sumunod na single nila?) hindi ko na sila type. I even saw them performing nung they are just starting out. They are really different from now. It is just me parang yumabang… I can’t say sila maybe siya. I am talking about Kian. If you saw his interviews parang he was trying to funny na nagiging mayabang ang kalalabasan. Marami namang ganun like Jay, Yan and others pero iba and dating ni Kian.

2) 6cyclemind- again I like them hanggang yung single nila ay “upside down”. For me again, parang they became sell out band kasi they have really different sound in their album “Fiesta”. Yung songs nila katulad ng “Magsasaya” and “Aaminin”, it is just too corny and to “masa”. They are realy different from the “Biglaan” and “Wait or go” days.

3) M.Y.M.P.- I’m just too tired of Juris’ voice.

4) Hale-mentioned it already

Abracadabra!

“Puff the magic dragon…”

I really have a dying admiration with magic and even magician. When I was young I though magic is simply magic, meaning no tricks are used. I love David Blaine to Dan Michael. If I have a chance I wanted to be a magician.

I watched Berwin Meiley’s magic special. I was impressed by his magic powers. Although I already saw them performed by David Blaine. Then I saw him at Showbiz Central and parang may issue about his magic like it is not true. Of course it is not true kasi may tricks yun like any other magic. If you watched that you would agree that the people that Berwin shows his magic powers was really amazed. And these people weren’t Filipinos. Parang hindi naman scripted. Berwin went to other countries pa just to show his magic capabilities. That’s another thing that I’m disappointed with. Bakit sa iba pa siya pumunta para magpakitang gilas ? bakit din a lang dito? Pinoys are always like that. tapos isa pa I noticed that masyadong “David Blaine” yung feel nung show. Tapos si Richard Gutierrez yung nag iinterview. Yung kay David Blaine si Leonardo de Carpio, yung kay Dan Michael si Jao Mapa. Hehehe…

But I am impressed in Berwin’s speaking capabilities. Mas magaling siya kaysa kay Kim Chui mag English.

Nonetheless, Good job!!

Musicians hits commercials

“kailan ba ako magkakapera? Kailan ba ako makikilala”

At first I wrote rockstars hits commercials to be the title of this post. But I realized not all that I will mention is a rock star for me at least. Some people thinks that when you say “rockstar” different name of band members ang sasabihin nila. Like for example I saw this site at pinoyexchange “rockstars and their lovers” tapos puro si miggy at mong ng chicosci, ney ng 6cyclemind, may Christian bautista pa nga. They don’t know what rock star means for me isa lang ang rockstar si Ely Buendia. No need to elaborate why. Oh wait pati pala si Gabby Alipe... Maraming feeling rockstar pero konti lang ang tunay na rockstar.

Speaking of Ely Buedia he has a new commercial for an oat meal ata. Imagine I glued in the t.v. and switching channels from 2 to 7 just to see it completely. Then when I was waiting for Ely’s commercial I noticed and observed that that commercial models are the almost the same for different kind of products. Puro KC Conception, Judy Anne Santos, Angel Locsin. Nakakasawa na. buti na lang I saw this Coke commercial featuring Project 1’s “Ang Sarap Dito”. Tapos yung Smart Bro Commercial including Sandwich. Then eto na si Ely. Solo flight. Astig!! First time ata na may nag solo na musician. Then I detect that like Raimund he has commercials but including his band. Then here is Ely having a solo commercial. If you remember he has also this commercial for Red Horse Beer. Solo ulit siya, meaning without his band. So if you think about it is clear that advertisers get him for having a “rockstar” image. Tapos Raimund gets him for his music. hindi ko naman sila kino compare. I mean Pupil is a great band with great songs sana kunin din sila because of their music. pero nonetheless, I’m just happy to see them in commercials because they are like “fresh faces” or for a change para hindi puro artista na nakakasawa na sobra. Sana magising ako ng isanag araw na si Gabby Alipe at Urbandub may tooth paste commercial si Kat Agarrado Shampoo and conditioner, Sponge Cola dish washing liquid, Pupil for a pencil commercial, taken by car for gasoline, sugar free for a sugar free chocolate and so on… hahaha…

Where the Hale?

“Dahil kailngan ka at kailangan pakita natin tayo ay iba at kahit pa di magil sa mundo”

In 2005 the song “The Day You Said Goodnight” became a massive hit. Anyone can sing it from toddlers to teens even to my 50+ father. Everyone has their self titled album pirated or original. Even my brother got one but sadly a pirated copy. He thinks that my kind of music is kinda “baduy” because I buy original cds of Eraserheads, Urbandub, Up dharma down and others. I didn’t buy an album, but honestly I have thoughts of buying one but a lot of good albums came across my mind and thinks that it is better to use my 250 ++ bucks for the artist I mentioned above. So isno ang baduy?

At that year they dominated year end countdowns, won several awards plus double platinum award (?) for their album and not to mention the “di mahulugang karayom” gigs. But it seems, for me, their 30 minutes of fame is up. When they came up with a 2^nd album “Twilight” the songs from that album didn’t catch the listeners that much unlike their debut album. It seems sophomore jinx hits them. I considered them 1 or 2 hits wonder. It is just me. Well, I have some of their songs but only downloaded. I once get hooked to their vocalist Champ like a million girls, maybe because of peer pressure… hehehe… but not that long. I began to notice that there are a lot of bands better, has a more powerful voice and even more good-looking than their vocalist. Their popularity seems to deteriorate maybe because I heard they are focusing in other stuffs like studying. That is a good thing to know that they are still prioritizing their education even though they have a career now. I also heard they have a new album. I hope they can make another “The Day You Said Goodnight” to recuperate the fame they had. But whether they can come up with a hit or not the sense of the song is still way better. I hope that I would like and be hook with their up coming “hits” like what they did to me with their 1^st 2 singles.

“easy ka lang… baka ka mahibang magmumukha kang timang”

This post may publish after two weeks due to some annoying and maddening reasons. My brother, an incoming 4^th year student, will be on duty at Pampangga. They will need “daw” the laptop. I’m quite agitated that “my” laptop will be lost (knock on the wood) I hope it will not happen.

Now I’m back using pen and paper. I don’t know what I will do now since “my” laptop is not here by my side. My guitar on the other hand has a loose string and I don’t know how to replace it… damn it!! I’m blithely bored over here.

But I guess it is quite good that “my” laptop will be gone for quite some time. Because this past couple of weeks I’m just too attached to “my” laptop. I wasn’t able to do some things that I need and I really wanted to do.

Hay.. Let’s just see what will happen to me….

I hope I will not be placed on a mental hospital…

Mainstream

“iba na ang iyong ngiti iba na ang iyong dating nagbago na ang lahat sa’yo…”

I saw Lougee a while ago at Eat Bulaga doing a dance number alongside Pia Guanio and Julia Clarete. I missed the old Lougee who has long shiny hair and an indie artist and now she is into mainstream activities. I don’t know if Mojofly is still an indie band since they have a new management, Belhaus Management.

But if you think about it, Lougee really has an “artistahin” looks. She can sing, dance and act. But for me, I just loved her for being the girl who caught my attention when I heard her sings “Mata” at my radio. But even though a lot of things changed, in gigs she didn’t changed a bit. She still has this powerful voice, enormous charisma that she have back in her indie days.

There’s really nothing wrong na maging mainstream or “masa”. Like for lougee, she has characteristics to be a star. What really wrong is within me, and maybe others who thinks she is better being an indie artist. I like Yael and sponge cola back when they are still indie artist but when they became popular parang nawala yung interest ko sa kanila. Maybe because diba when you love someone you want it to be yours only. Parang gusto ko akin lang siya o sila… So when they became popular parang ang dami dami ng may same interest or like.

But the songs of Mojofly still matters to me. hindi naman sila sellout. Ganun pa rin I guess yung music nila.. so I will still support them. for Lougee wala akong magagawa, maganda at magaling naman siya. I guess she is just going with the flow. Pero sabi nga sa isang show sa NU 107, only dead fish swims at the current. Conncection? Ewan… hahaha…
