I know you have those days when you have the MTV look on your face...
Staring at blankness. Mulling in loneliness. Contemplating in
thought. Drifting in outer space. Etcetera.
We all have them in us.
But of course you must have the music to match your hopeless romantic cinematography!
That's what I'm here for. I'll show you the places to have your
background music when you feel like releasing all those poetic emotions��when you feel like the world is your stage and we are at the mercy of
your moves.
1. JEEPNEYS. The rush of wind from the jeepney's window
(except if you're in EDSA or Commonwealth) already makes
for a good NATSOT (Natural Sound on-Tape). And of course, there's
that precious Prince Charming effect on your hair.
But we're here
for the music. And the jeepney will never fail us.
Gone are the days of
the remix-of-all-that's-in boombox jeepneys. Our jeepney drivers have
been showing their mushy side of late with radio stations playing
oldies-but-goodies.
Hits like Ocean Deep, Nothing's
Gonna Change My Love for You (You know, naman, my love how much
I love you), and Skyline Pigeon are the staple in these
parts.
This is a low budget film though. For circumstances beyond our
control, be prepared for the occassional Itaktak Mo, Buksan Mo,
Papasukin Ako or Doo Doo Doo Da Da Da. These
oldies-but-goodies-playing radio stations are, after all, Love Radio or Love
Radio sound-alikes.
PS: FX drivers and riders like to believe they are a class higher
than jeepneys.
Do not worry. Their radio knobs are still the same banana.
2. MALLS. How could you
not love the effect of being lost amidst a crowd of faceless people? But
that is just dessert as to what malls can contribute to your endeavor...
2a. The Flute corner. Classics such as
My Heart Will Go on and How Do I Live Without You?
will never ever be left out of the playlist of our flute
demo friends. They have however proven to be updated on current affairs
with their soulful renditions of Hawak Kamay.
2b. The Guitar and Piano "Sale" section.
214 and Just Once make up the big guns for the
Piano section. And for those learning how to play the guitar, those in
charge of the Guitars will not disappoint with More than Words��every
aspiring guitarist's must-know!
These guys will offer a one-time, big-time
"sale."
After disappearing for a month, it's round 2
of their one-time, big-time "sale."
And so on and so forth.
2c. Extreme Magic! Sing. You
know their jingle. I just know.
3. U.P. COLLEGES of MASSCOMM and MUSIC. Biased, biased,
biased! But these neighbor colleges will be everything you
need. Request a song at DZUP. Or eavesdrop
at Music: horn, trumpet, violin, voice, xylophones, kumintang, drumsets,
guitars... Because the best musical scoring is subtle.
Naks! Now do your thing.

Lunchtime, a while back...
A group of college students were eating when someone was like, "Ano
ibig sabihin ng KFC?"
One witty wannabe muttered, "Kenny Rogers Fried Chicken."
Then it's all Ms. Brightside from here: "Tanga, Kentucky Fried
Chicken yun! Yung Kentucky sa Texas yun."
May Texas na manok nga naman.
