I never liked rock n roll its like music with screaming people with zilch words to decipher. Only to learn from Chito that there’s like a number of genres of rock: death metal, glam rock, etc. (I forgot the others). Creep is the only rock song I know and I liked (probably because I never really wanted to hear the others)
But then I came across Rockstar: INXS. And yeah I’m a reality TV sucker…big time! That’s why I suddenly had “time” to listen to rock. I had the chance to watch it from the start…and probably about 2 weeks after, I learned from Third that Mig Ayesa was Filipino. After that, I was just so hooked! Even coming to office late just to watch the live telecast every Wednesday and Thursday. Yeah, yeah pathetic…addict…reality TV sucker. Call me names…hahaha!
I had my favorites. Of course there’s MiG as always…which I like only coz he’s Filipino. He a bit gay-ish for me. But I love him in his tight leather pants and open jacket. I love the way he puts himself together (or the show’s stylist for that matter). Marty’s voice is just…wow! And I love his rendition of Creep and the vibe I get from his original song: Trees. And there’s Ty. Great performer. I’m now listening to Creedence Clearwater’s Proud Mary and I think Ty’s version is way better… he manages to put soul in his songs. Just a thought…why does Creedence Clearwater pronounce burnin’ as boynin’?! what’s up with that?
JD…who we all know now is the new frontman for INXS…well, is just okay. He managed to give great performances but his working style is just odd…unprofessional. Maybe what’s important is the final outcome…but in the long run, his bandmates may have a hard time. Instead of doing rehearsals… JD might prefer dozing off…Maybe INXS liked his edginess…hopefully it works for them…

one rainy evening that blew me away…
We celebrated our 19th monthsary yesterday. Chito has forgotten our monthsaries for the past 2 or 3 months. He said he’ll make up for it this time. He picked me up from my meeting and headed to somewhere I don’t know. He won’t say where we’d go but I had a place at the back of my mind…had an inkling he’d take me to Westin.
There was grueling traffic…and it was raining really hard. So to keep ourselves preoccupied and to let us still enjoy the evening (despite the weather)…I played the Acoustic Night live CD, and we sang…and I sang my heart out too.. Our fave song was there as well…Spend my life by U-turn. I feel so light whenever I hear that song.
Then we got to Westin. For starters, he knew that the first time I went there, I immediately fell in love with the place. (By the way, Westin was one of my accounts when I was still with an ad agency). He took me there when were still dating and we had a great time. When we got there, Café Plaza was under renovation but they set up the back end for those who’d like to dine.
The food…was really goooood.. there goes my diet…I ate a lot! Afterwards, we took a walk at the poolside / garden overlooking the bay. The grounds were wet but we felt we had to walk around coz we were so damn full! We talked about the first time we were there and how much we enjoyed each other’s company, etc.
Then we stopped and he asked if I wanted some mints…I looked and saw he was holding a diamond ring! I was speechless and kinda confused of what’s happening. He knelt (and the ground was still wet here) and asked “Will you marry me?” All I said the whole time he was kneeling was “seryoso ka?” I think I said a million of “seryoso ka?” he was just looking at me put it in my finger and hugged me. That’s the time I said “YES!”
I was soo surprised..it was really unexpected. The ring was soo pretty. It’s just an icing in the cake…I knew all along he was the one for me…he’s God’s blessing that I’d forever be thankful for.
I’m still kinikilig sobra…and I can’t keep but look at the ring and remember how God has blessed me with such a beautiful person coming into my life….
