Kamikazee – Alay

jhay — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:48:31 +0000

Another bad case of the last song syndrome as this new single from Kamikazee has been playing on loop on my BlackBerry phone for the past week know.

Alay by Kamikazee

Pinagpala ang makilala ka
Ikaw ang dahilan ng aking paghinga
At sa yong mga mata
Pag-ibig ay damangdama
Di masusukat aking ligaya

Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat
Ika’y aking nakakalimutan
At sa oras ng kahinaan di ka nangiiwan

Ito ay alay ko sa yo
Panalangin ng isang hamak na katulad ko
Ito ay alay ko sa yo
Awiting kinakanta ng puso ko

Pinagpala ang makilala ka
Ikaw ang dahilan ng aking paghinga
Lahat ng ito’y wala kundi dahil sa yo
Di masusukat ang iyong puso

Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat
Ika’y aking nakakalimutan
At sa oras ng kahinaan di ka nangiiwan

Ito ay alay ko sa yo
Panalangin ng isang hamak na katulad ko
Ito ay alay ko sa yo
Awiting kinakanta ng puso ko

Ito ay alay ko sa yo
Panalangin ng isang hamak na katulad ko
Ito ay alay ko sa yo
Ganap na pagsuko sa piling mo

Good music, good lyrics. Enjoy!

Adolf Hitler Reacts to “Pilipinas Kay Ganda!”

jhay — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 04:22:25 +0000

What if Adolf Hitler was still in power, he won World War II. The United States was defeated and so the Philippines was once more ceded over to the Third Reich.

All of the past presidents of the Philippines instead became Governors or administrators and the last one was Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo then finally, Hitler decided to take charge personally. He was then presented with the new tourism department’s plan of re-branding Philippine tourism:

It’s fiction alright? Just like what “Pilipinas Kay Ganda!” is right now. A thing of the not-so-distant past, another project of the Aquino Administration that fell on its ass.

Lucky for Usec Romano, Hitler has been long dead and was not his boss. Lucky for us Filipinos, we no longer have to live with that f*cked up tourism campaign.

Atomic Tom performs “Take Me Out” in New York Subway - No instruments, just iPhone 4

With the advent of New Media, people have found new ways to generating buzz and attention towards the things that they do or the cause they support. One common tactic is a flash mobilization of people in public places where there’s lots of people, like malls, parks even schools.

Some are random and the result of everyone simply showing up at the designated place and time then doing what they have to do. The effect is dramatic as the unsuspecting public cum audience are surprised and awed by the sudden turn of events. However, some are not totally random or spontaneous. Some have been planned days or even weeks ahead of time.

A band in New York did just that when they staged a lightning live performance in a subway train. Atomic Tom performed “Take Me Out” using no conventional musical instruments carried by a rock band, but instead each member had an iPhone 4 loaded with a special app that simulated the instrument they regularly played. Check out the video below:

The video has gone viral on the internet. Giving the band good exposure and interest to promote their upcoming gigs and their music. Another demonstration of how iconic the iPhone has become.

I wonder if another band or group would answer back, but using Android-powered phones instead. Now that would be awesome!

Noel Cabangon – Kung Maputi na Ang Buhok Ko

jhay — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 07:42:51 +0000

It’s one of the most popular songs nowadays, Noel Cabangon’s version of that classic Sharon Cuneta song, “Kung Maputi na Ang Buhok Ko.” Here’s the high quality video:

Kung Maputi na Ang Buhok Ko

Kung tayo ay matanda na
Sana’y di tayo magbago
Kailan man, nasaan ma’y
Ito ang pangarap ko …

Makuha mo pa kayang
Ako’y hagkan at yakapin, hmm
Hanggang pagtanda natin
Nagtatanong lang sa ‘yo
Ako pa kaya’y ibigin mo
Kung maputi na ang buhok ko …

Pagdating ng araw
Ang ‘yong buhok ay puputi na rin
Sabay tayong mangangarap
Nang nakaraan sa ‘tin …

Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik na tin, hmm
Ipapaalala ko sa ‘yo ang aking pangako
Na ang pag-ibig ko’y laging sa ‘yo
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko …

The song even become more beautiful thanks to Noel’s cool and soothing voice. And it’s nice that he and his music is getting more attention, for he is a truly gifted, creative and talented Filipino musician that is homegrown and carries meaningful advocacies.
