I DIDITH REYES
overheard inside a philippine karaoke while somebody was singing “my way”
…tangna, “my way” na naman!
…pag may kumanta pa ulit ng “my way”, susunugin ko na ang karaokeng ito!
…dapat talage eh burahin na yang “my way” na yan!
…”my way”, “my way”, puro na lang “my way”
PAG-IBIG, PAGMAMAHAL
ano ba ang pag-ibig at pagmamahal kundi pagpapatuloy na pagpapahiwatig ng pagbigay ng iyong sarili sa mahal mo…
bakit ko ba ito nabanggit? wala lang, pinakikinggan ko kasi ako ang “what to listen to on a rainy saturday morning” mp3 playlist ko at tumutugtog ang idol kong si clapton… galing sa backless cd (that was released in 1978) ang kantang “tell me that you love me”. yung lyrics kasi eh tungkol sa isang lalaking KSP (kulang sa pansin).

WHEN THE DOG BITES
sinigang na baboy na may taba, patis na may sili at mainit na kanin…tunog ng golf ball pag tumama sa sweetspot ng driver…kanta ni jacksone browne na tumutugtog sa car stereo habang papauwi ka sa gabi na medyo umuulan…january saturday morning na medyo malamig, ikaw ay nasa bahay, may kape, dyaryo at yosi…sa loob ng eroplano malapit nang maglanding sa naia…san mig light with pepper steak, kumpletong barkada…chicken pork adobo, kamatis, itlog na maalat at fried rice nasa dahon ng saging…akap ni misis sa gabing madilim sa kwartong nakabukas ang aircon…
…these are a few of my favorite things
POST VACATION DEPRESSION
kahapon nasa dyaryo rito: there is such a thing daw as “post vacation depression” especially after the christmas holidays (similar ba ito sa post-natal depression?). ayon sa mga doctor from down under (bansa ni egay maderazo na isa nang australian citizen pero kutis bayag pa ring katulad ko). it is a bad feeling na parang kulang ang bakasyon mo. it normally last two weeks upon return…
TRAMP AND THE YOUNG GIRL
by mark-almond
Down by the river, foggy and grey,
Only a young girl kneeling to pray
Down in the water, muddy and cold,
Eyes red from crying. A torn, ragged soul.Once so young and gay,
Once in dreams of yesterday.Down by the river, foggy and grey,
Only an old tramp shuffles his way.
He saw that the water, that the water so wide
Held the young body of a love that had died.Once so young and fair.
Once, and now despair.Down by the reeds, they found him next day,
Dead like the young girl, in the water so grey.
That muddy old river took two of a kind,
A tramp and a young girl,
That love left behind.
the best dark song of all time
SITTING IN THE AIRPORT BAR, TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A SUPERSTAR
one way sunday – kanta ng isang musikero while on tour… sa isang banda, parang ako: biyahero at engineer na musikerong patago. in short, OFW na mahilig sa karaoke!
palagi ko itong pinatutugtog sa CD player ko. ewan ko kung bakit pero, para sa akin ang haunting na lyrics at musika nina mark-almond ay bagay na bagay sa tulad kong OFW na malayo sa pilpinas. actually wala namang connection ang musika nila sa pagiging OFW ko pero naantig ang puso ko tuwing papatugtugin ko ang CD nila. ang dating sa akin ay bitter-sweet na mga ala-ala.
BACK IN THE SADDLE
at que horror – hehehe. dito na ulit ako sa singapore. bummer.
may maganda lang na nangyari sa pag-alis namin sa pilipinas. una, hinatid kami ni kuya bong na asawa ni darlene na kapatid ni jet sakay sa kanyang benz. oh – big time di ba. pangalawa, dahil full ang manila-singapore flight ng singapore air lines, na-upgrade kami ni jet sa business class ng libre. oh – bigger time, di ba. hehehe… iba talaga ang maraming frequent flier miles. sa sobrang dami ng trip ko around asia eh may perks din naman kahit papano.
kung kaya – from manila to singapore ay nakataas ang mga paa namin ni jet sa eroplano at “trying to look like a superstar” ika nga ni mark-almond sa kanta nilang one way sunday.
