Like a true nature’s child

Posted on May 8, 2008 by batjay

mayroong talent portion sa conference namin sa san diego at may nag good time sa akin sa opisina at nilista ang pangalan ko.

napasubo tuloy ako pero pinatulan ko na rin kasi matagal ko nang gustong kumanta sa banda at tutuo na mayroon akong malaking attention deficit.

isa pa, matagal ko nang panaginip ang kumanta ng rock and roll song with a band sa isang maliit na stage. nagkatutuo ito kaninang umaga.

kumanta ako ng “born to be wild” sa harap ng 600 na tao. bwakanginangyan, ang lakas ng nerbyos ko pero tigas titi naman ang mga pinoy kaya ok lang.

sabi sa akin ng mga kasama kong amerikano, mayroon daw akong balls of steel. ang ibig sabihin ata nito sa tagalog eh “tangina, ang kapal ng mukha mo”.

Dito sa city namin filipinos are known to be good singers kaya everytime my canadian officemates ask if I could sing they are surprise that I couldn’t. Sikat na rin dito ang mga sing-a-long joints. Marami ring puti na kumakanta pero kapag my pinoy na kumanta medyo umaatras na ang mga puti. Kasi daw the pinoys put the bar so high. Para bang for them, if they can’t measure up to the standard eh wag na lang.

It’s nice to fulfil your dream. It’s even nicer when you get compliments for achieving it. Congratulations!

bakit, dahil magkamukha kami o dahil pareho kaming may attention deficit at willing na mag rock and roll sa stage? hehehe.

pag may available na video, ilalagay ko sa youtube. pag wala, bili ka na lang ng steppenwolf greatest hits at isipin mo na lang na ako ang kumakanta ng “born to be wild”

hi bro,

i had that kind of experienced (the singing) when i was posted in singapore way back in 1995 at kung hindi ako kargado ng 4 litro ng tiger beer eh hindi ko nakanta ung casablanca in front of our kababayans, kano, bitoy, thai, indo, taiwanese, malaysians at singaporeans na nasa audience. believed sila sa husay nating mga pinoys na kumanta. no wonder na kahit binobomba na ang lebanon a few years ago eh nagkakantahan pa ang mga foreign affairs personnels natin with some lebanese guest. pinoys are very talented and unique race. and lets show it to the world at every chance we get. don’t forget to practice tol!

all the best………bong

pinsan,
pinagyabang kita dito sa mga office mates ko, iba nga raw talaga dating mo. galing na writer na at singer pa. yup, that’s my cuzz! he mastered the arts of karaoke.
kaya siguro ako ang pinaka pogi sa ating magpipinsan ano, kasi wala akong talent. parehas talaga ang dyos!

love ‘ya,
