ocho ocho!
***
I am getting back to my cheezy ways.
Yes, I am watching telenovelas once again. I am watching Darating Ang Umaga again. I am watching Meteor Garden Season 2 again. Goodness.
***
I'm 22 years old (23 in 6 days!) and you know what I noticed? To quote Nicoffeine, I'm becoming an old fart way ahead of schedule.
Lately, I found myself drawn to the music "old farts" love. Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone. I found myself drawn to music people my age would deem boring. I even found myself drawn to movies that were made decades before I was even born.
My point? Nothing. I just wanted to visualize my realization: that I'm becoming an old fart 30 years early.
***
But in the tradition of Nick Hornby and High Fidelity (have you guys read this? one of the coolest books ever!),
my first five songs for videoke
1. Di Ba't Ikaw - Jessa Zaragoza
2. Sometimes - Britney Spears
3. The Actor - Michael Learns to Rock
4. Please Mr. Postman - The Carpenters
5. Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
These five songs are dedicated to my ever-so-adoring fans, Nicoffeine, Gulo and Yya.
(Favorite songs are not really meant to be sung at a videoke bar. When in a videoke bar, the cheezier the song, the better!)
***
I just saw the teaser for the new Chinovela of ABS-CBN, Girls Marching On. It looks fun and I probably have something new to watch.
And then I saw the date.
And then I realized.
Is Tabing Ilog over?
Haha!
