I think if we want a better country, one thing we should change is how we practice discipline in everything that we do. The problem with us Filipinos is that we think it's okay to do these wrong things just because everyone is doing them too. Like for example in commuting specifically in Metro. Not following simple traffic rules and commuter policies are few of the reasons why we have such a bad case of traffic history. Discipline comes from within. If we can only obey rules and practice righful way of living, then surely we can have a better country.

Sana hindi pa mahuli ang lahat para masave natin kung anuman ung maari pang isave sa environment natin. Maaring ngayon iniisip natin na okay pa naman sige lang pero ilang araw mula ngayon yung okay pa na yun magiging hindi na. Let's take care of our environment or else tayo rin ang kawawa. Let's start it from ourselves. Sa sarili tayo magsimula. Mula sa maliit na bagay papalaki.. Sobrang makakatulong 'to. Para sa atin at pra sa mga bata and future residents of this country :)

OPM

Simula pa lang bata pa ako. Itong mga kantang ito ang naririnig ko ito rin mag mga kantang nakahiligan kong kantahin at tumatak sa puso at isispan ko. Pero sa pagdaan ng panahon unti unti itong tumamlay. nawalan ako ng gana sa mga kantang meron ang opm. mas naenjoy ko ang mga banyagang kanta mas kinahilagan ko. Pero muli nabuhay ang  mga opm sa mga artist na bagao ngayon pati na din sa mga allegro at genre ng kanta na nakakasabay sa pagababago sa mundo ng musika. sa mga ganitong pangyayari nagkaroon ng rebirth sa opm. na siay bumuhay muli sa aking opm soul.

OPM

It’s good to know that there are still group, individuals and influential people na gumagawa nang paraan to make sure na buhay parin ang OPM sa bansa. If you’ll observe closely, you can definitely see the difference how produced music today differs from what the kind of music there was before. I’m not against our music today and with how music is being produced a few years back.

I just wish people still make time to appreciate our own genre of music. OPM has given thousands of opportunities to aspiring singers and songwriters in the country and if you’ll just learn to appreciate the kind of music we have you’ll see how beautiful they were written.

Today, trends and media greatly affects almost all the aspect of our life. We might appreciate foreign music but always remember to appreciate and give importance to our own.

Meetup 2016!

When I heard there's a tumblr meetup this January I got excited and curious at the same time and then I found out na music festival pala yung mangyayari. Something new. Every tumblr meetup is a different experience. This has always been one of the best things a filipino tumblr blogger must experience to become a full-pledged Tumblrsta. (Kiddin') Kidding aside, halos every meetup I always plan ahead of time. What to wear, if magdadala ba ng gamit (just in case mauwi sa overnight na madalas mangyari), shempre kung sino kasabay pupunta, at paano mapapayagan ng magulang. This coming Friday. Syempre since music festival I will make sure na i'm 100% ready. Physically and emotionally (because too much feels sa mga fave artists) I havent decided yet what to wear pero def, I'll dress up comfortably kasi open area + daming tao. Hahaha. Shempre bring money para may pangkaen after! Hahaha. O pano, kita kits nalang. :)

An Open Letter to our Future Leader

You,

I know one day you’ll sit on that chair. You’ll live in that palace. You’ll speak in front of millions of Filipinos who voted for you. You’ll represent this country. You’ll either lift us or break us.

I want to say this to you now. Yes, as early as now.

You have all the power to do what is right, to make things right and to uplift what is right. I will give you my trust. We will give you our trust. To make this country better than what we are today. It is never too late to make a change. And as you take that oath to be the president of this country, I hope it was the right decision to choose you.

I know it’s not only you who will make these changes possible. But everyone has a role to play.

You lead. We’ll follow. Do what is right.

Kyla & Parokya ni Edgar

I've always been a fan of these two artists kaya naman sobrang excited and tuwa ako nang malaman ko na kasama sila sa meetup na magaganap sa Friday! Sobrang exciting lang kasi i will have a chance na makita at marining silang magperform ng live. Kyla has always been one of the most versatile singer of her generation. From her hit single Hanggang Ngayon (na may cover ako) haha talagang everytime na kumakanta sya ramdam mo ung emotion na binibgay nya sa mga songs nya. Parokya ni Edgar was part of my student life. Sobrang akma ng mga kanta nila sa mga napagdaanan ko na. Can't wait to see you both perform on Friday! :)
