buhay isteytsayd…

kaya ko sinulat ito dahil sa mga sumusunod: nabuburyong na ko, paborito ko si bob ong, at nakakapagod magkwento ng paulit ulit…kaya simulan na natin ang aking kasaysayan….

pangarap ng bawat bata na makapunta sa amerika..at makita si mickey mouse..isa ako sa mga iyon..matapos ang ilang taong paghihintay…at ilang araw na paglalakad ng sandamakmak na papeles…nakaalis din ako…pero di gaya ng iba..ayokong umalis ng pilipinas..maraming nagsasabi na yung iba halos magpakamatay makapunta lang sa amerika..ang sabi ko sa sarili ko…wala akong pakialam sa kanila..mamatay sila kung gusto nila..basta ako..mahal ko ang bansang kilala sa corrupt na gobyerno..sa maduduming kalsada..sa mga palaboy sa kalye..hindi ko alam kung bakit..ang totoo nyan namiss ko ng husto ang mga tanawing iyon.

paglapag ng eroplano..akala ko lahat ng mga bagay na napapanood ko sa telebisyon makikita ko agad..napansin ko lang…bakit di ata kasing amoy ng bagong bukas na package ang amerika?diba sabi nila ganun?…habang tinatahak namin ang daan pauwi sa bahay ng nanay ko, napansin ko rin na isang malaking kalsada ang at maraming flyovers ang nakapaligid…nasaan na ang magagandang tanawin na nasa mga postcards?bakit mas madami pa atang mga sasakyan at highway kesa mga tao dito?..yan at marami pang ibang mga katanungan ko sa aking sarili…habang lumilipas ang mga araw nadaragdagan ang mga bagay na ikinukumpara ko…gaya ng mga sumusunod:

• mas maganda ang panahon sa pinas..kaya kong tiisin ang matinding init..ligo lang ang katapat nyan…pero yung matinding lamig….nevah!!!
• mas delikado sa US kaysa pinas…mas madaming baliw o taong grasa na nakakalat..totoo yan..mas mataas ang crime rate kagaya ng rape, homicide, kidnapping..etc..ang totoo nyan hindi mo alam baka serial killer na yung kaharap mo..hindi lang mayayaman ang kinikidnap dito.kahit batang paslit..matindi ang racism..hindi ako nag iimbento ng kwento..matapos ang ilang linggo, narealize ko na hindi lang pala pinoy TV channel ang meron sa bahay…meron din palang local channels..syet!!hindi kasi nagtatanong….dahil diyan, lahat ng channel na merong balita ay pinapanood ko..halos parepareho lang sila ng palabas..at laman ng headlines nila ang mga kagaya niyan.
• madami nga ang pagkain dito…pero wala namang lasa…malalaki ang mga gulay, manok, turkey, karne..nakakatakot…pero lahat sila matatabang..mas masarap pa rin ang adobong niluto sa pinas.amoy pa lang, ulam na!..sa maikling salita…hindi masarap ang mga pagkain dito pero madadami…at kung lumobo ka man..ewan ko n lang…hindi ka na magtataka kung bakit marami kang makikitang malalaking tao dito.hindi ka pagpapawisan dahil sa sobrang lamig kaya hindi rin malulusaw ang mga lason mo sa katawan..at mapapadali ang buhay mo kung hahayaan mo na lumafang ka ng todo dahil nga mas madaming pagkain.

to be continued…

AFTER 100 YEARSSSSSSSSS…..

continuation…..

sa tinagal tagal ng panahon…nagawa ko ring ituloy ang kwentong ito…hindi ko nga alam kung meron bang magaaksaya ng panahon para magbasa..mas uso n ksi ngaun ung kukunan mo ng video sarili mo tapos ilagay mo sa youtube…kaya lang wala akong lakas ng loob na gawin yun….hanggang sa pagsusulat lang ako..im shy eh…hehehhe….pero ok lng un..i dont care!!wahahahaah!!!!..eniwei…anu ba sasabihin ko?….well,ang tagal ko din inisip kung ano ba talaga ang balak ko sa buhay…ang alam ko kasi..anim na buwan lang ako dito..tapos bigla sasabihin sa kin na hindi daw pwede… kesyo marami daw itatanong sa immigration pag bumalik ulit…echus..echus…hanggang sa narealize ko na kahit lumuha ako ng dugo…hindi na talaga

RiverMaya Update

ok..this is for michelle…taglish nga lang…before i got into this state of boredom, the two last events i went to were kuya daniel’s concert and the 2007 14th NU rock awards..i would not miss those events for the world!..it was my first time to be at the NU rock awards…i was starstrucked but the same time i was like—”i dont have time to care if i see that bamboo has just arrived or that the vocalist of chicosci was just sitting at the backstage after an opening performance”…but really…it was awesome!!!..anyway…our first interview was with rivermaya after mark escueta–the drummer—who got a tie of best drummer with vic mercado,from bamboo…and their performance with jayson fernandez–the new addition to the band….

for a brief intro–as far i know,….rumors about rico blanco leaving the group was unclear..until we saw mark escueta at the album launch of julianne…i didnt have the courage to do the interview back then..since i thought they’re hard to reach–but turned out to be fine..he confirmed the truth ..according to mark..though not the exact words..and based on the things that i could remember–and correct me if i’m wrong–hindi naging malinaw sa grupo ang pag alis ni rico…i read in the news that rico wanted to explore his artistic side..but i dont think that it’s reason enough for him to leave a group who’s already on the verge of an international success!..one could feel that mark was in pain and that he’s trying so hard to be strong not only for himself but for the fans of rivermaya..dating back to history, the original members of the group were nathan azarcon and rico blanco…mark joined just years after..but now, mark remains to still stand up for the group together with his bandmates..after a few weeks, we were at the HUMAN fashion show where rico blanco was an endorser/designer…the media people were in dismay..i just didnt know if he really did not want to be interviewed…or whatever..basta..we did not bother anyway…

then…rivermaya had an open audition for a new member….i was able to ask mark for an update..he was at the time one of the judges for Musikhero..he said that they are looking for a new bandmate..but not necessarily a lead vocalist..as all of them will be singing already..i asked if it’s just ok for them to have a girl groupmate..and he said it was just fine…they were halfway through the audition and it was doing great..i also got to ask mr. francis reyes, the chief announcer for NU107 and a band member of the dawn..he was one of the judges in finding the perfect person o be on the band…he said that one of the qualities they were looking for is his good character aside from the fact that looks may be of big help…he was referring to jayson fernandez…who won the hearts of the judges…the girl who got in the top 12 or so..did not make it..she was, however, really talented….but she was more of a solo artist than a bandmate for maya…

and so came the NU rock awards…it was jayson’s first…and he did quite good!after they came down from the stage, i approached him and asked if we could do an interview…i was actually contented to be asking just him..but he shyly said that i got to ask their manager, ms. lizza nakpil..she was kind enough to let us interview the band in a well lighted space..:)….jayson was a typical shy boy…he was very naive…it’s really good that when he was asked how he felt upon winning..he never failed to thank God and the people who supported him..”marami ang nagtataka kung bakit si jayson ang napili nyo…” according to mark, “bakit hindi??..naging mahirap yung desisyon…”ang hinahanap lang naman namin ay yung taong mamahalin yung banda…”… i need not to elaborate….i  think mark is always emotional when it comes to the band…but i can see that he is happy with the way things turned out..they are now in the process of making their new album. it will be out by january 2008. the band never fails to thank all those who supported them through thick and thin..sandwich,spongecola, parokya ni edgar, imago..they were just one of the few friends who made them feel good..and let them know that they’re always there to support…one more thing..rivermaya are in good terms with bamboo…

well..these are all for now..i just hope anyone who reads this will learn something worthwhile..:)

minsan nakakatamad kc gumawa ng script na kailangan p itranslate…basta so far..ang latest ko na interview ay yung sa album launch ng 6th under ground: live and raw…..tapos ung banda on the process p lng ng paghahanap ng label..ang pangalan nila ay THE HANEPS..naks!..cguro nahirapan cla maghanap ng pangalan…eniwei…jologs tong ginagawa ko ngaun..pati speling tinitipid..nakakairita kc tong keyboard….

balik tau sa usapan……ung 6th underground..para sa mga hindi nakakaalam ay ikukwento ko sa inyo…..yung unang punta ko dun..kasama ko c binx—yung host namin dati sa sound connections…dun kc sya dati nagttrabaho nung rakista pa xa…..eheheheh…maingay..grabeh!!!pumutok ata yung eardrums ko nun…lahat ng rockers tumugtog na dun…at hindi kasali ang cueshe…i dont know pero maraming may poot sa kanila….umaatake n nmn ang sakit ko…hindi ako makapg isip….cge yan lng muna…lagyan ko n lng ng part two 

I HAVE INTERVIEWD ISABEL ROCES….AT LAST!!!

I’M VERY HAPPY THAT I WAS ABLE TO INTERVIEW ISABEL ROCES AT THE LEVI’S LAUNCH IN TRINOMA LAST NIGHT (OCT. 11, 2007). I THOUGHT I WOULD BE HAVING A HARD TIME AGAIN SINCE WE CAME IN LATE FOR THE SHOW. SHE WAS WEARING A GREEN AND GREY SILK BLOUSE AND JEANS..SHE HAD SIMPLE MAKE UP ON THAT MADE HER LOOK MORE GORGEOUS…

ANYWAY….THE VERY REASON WHY I WAS, LET’S SAY, DYING (?) TO INTERVIEW HER IS BECAUSE SHE IS AN ADVOCATE FOR PeTA. ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT SHE’S MY FAVORITE LOCAL MODEL AND THAT SHE LOOKS A LOT LIKE ANGELINA JOLIE…..IT IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEBODY FAMOUS TO BE DOING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE FOR HUMANITY..OR EVEN THE ENVIRONMENT. NOPE..I’M NOT A VEGETARIAN…PERSONALLY IT IS VERY HARD FOR ME…BUT AS MUCH AS I CAN… I PREFER VEGGIES OVER MEAT….AND I LOVE EATING AT BODHI’S…AND I WOULD NEVER EVER EAT BUGS BUNNY!!!WAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!OK..ENOUGH ABOUT ME…

MANY INTERNATIONAL MODELS ARE MEMBERS OF PETA: CLAUDIA SCHIFFER AND CHRISTY TURLINGTON TO NAME AFEW….I’M VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO GUESTING ISABEL IN ONE OF OUR SHOWS….AND I THANK HER A LOT FOR GIVING TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS…

angelina jolie….isabel roces

i love angelina jolie so much! but she need not to worry as i am not an obsessed fan …anyway, i’m looking forward to meet her and do an interview.. i read she does not want to be hugged…but i’ll try to find the courage to ask her if i could give her a very big bear hug..pleasssssseeeee…..:)

here in the philippines, a fashion model looks so much like her..her name is isabel roces…i’ve seen isabel many times already..in fashion shows where we usually are invited..(thanks a lot to ms. jenny!!)…and when i finally had the guts to ask her for an interview…she smilingly said yes…but was very sorry that she had to rush because of another ramp at the coconut palace..very busy huh!..the only consolation is that she repeatedly said she owes me an interview..and because of that..i’ll be looking forward to it..i hope before i leave the country…waaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!:(( (

so far, i have interviewed ms. tweety de leon, who is still looking very pretty…., rissa samson, bubbles paraiso, ornusa cadness, jon avila…. next on my line up are raphael kiefer, brent javier and of course, isabel…watch out for that!!

IN MY EYES–a photo exhibit of Daniel Razon www.danielrazon.com

Mr. Daniel S. Razon is not only a respected broadcaster. Aside from being a sports buff, one of his hobbies is taking photographs of the different things he sees. It’s no wonder why his first solo photo exhibit is entitled “In My eyes”.

Although he admits that he isn’t a professional photographer, anyone who sees his works of art will truly be captivated because of its theme: Extreme to Extreme.

Anyone who’s interested to see the said photo exhibit, you may drop by Tintero Art & Design Studio Unit 502, FSS Bldg. No. 20 Scout Tuazon cor. Scout Castor, Quezon City. This is open to public from sept. 19 until october 9, 2007.

kami nAPO muna ulit!!!

A new tribute album for the ever famous OPM group “APO hiking Society” has been launched today, September 4, 2007 at Mag:net Cafe, Taguig. Among the artists who joined the said album are SpongeCola, Kamikazee vs. Parokya ni Edgar, Itchyworms, Silent Sanctuary, and UP Dharma Down to name a few. One group that caught my attention though is Hilera. Why? Well, I know them as a band that plays really really loud music. But this time, singing the song ” Mahirap Magmahal sa Syota ng Iba” a little less loud was kind of..refreshing. and the video was  classic inspired, with barbershop and all..very 80’s. I havn’t interviewed them yet as of these moments. If ever I do, I’ll let you know. Anyway, tomorrow If you want to have a glimpse of my short but sweet interview with Spongecola, watch Good Morning Kuya from 4:45 am to 9am..News starts at 7am (it’s where it is included). ciao!

me…

i love jazz music…satirical writings of Bob ONg and pol Medina Junior…i cook..i bake..i love to eat…shopping for the cheapest clothes i could find…interviewing people from different walks of life..i may be weird for most people…especially when they see me wearing a white victorian inspired top+brown asymmetrical designed pencil skirt+green flats with a giraffe design on…but what do you know???fashion is individuality…hope i could keep up writing for this blog…:)
