Bandang 90’s Concert, the perfect finale for Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino 2019.
It rains hard that night of July 31, the last day of the
month but like music, its unstoppable and didn’t dampen our spirit to catch
Bandang 90’s concert, one of the two shows to close the weeklong celebration of
“Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino 2019” celebration at Historia Bar in Quezon City.
Head by Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit with National Commission
for Culture And Arts, the festival aims to promote awareness and appreciation
of all forms of Filipino music through many platforms, it started last July 20
and it covers different music venues nationwide from Metro Manila up to Davao
City.
Dong, Cooky and Wency
Bandang 90’s feature four OPM icons of my youth, the band we
look up and that music who give us joy and inspiration back in the days, Wency
Cornejo of the band After Image, Color It Red and Cooky Chua, Dong Abay of the
band Yano, and Barbie Almabis of Barbie’s Cradle.
Wency Cornejo
First to perform is Wency, with his opening song Mangarap
Ka, it brings goosebumps to all the audience that night as we sing along with
him, and then he calls Cooky Chua for his next number for a duet of his immortal
hit Habang May Buhay, then it was revealed that he did write the said song for
a supposed duet of him and Cooky, but during those time Cooky was not allowed
by his recording label so he decided to do it solo along of course with his
band, the After Image.
Habang My Buhay with Wency and Cooky
Another trivia Cornejo announce that night is about the song
“Tag-Ulan, Tag-Araw”, this is one of the most rejected pieces he writes with
After Image because at that time many find its theme as shallow until it made
to the second album of the band and the rest is history.
Color It Red
Color It Red followed after with the charming Cooky Chua in
vocals, the band according to Cooky is already 30 years old and they are still
together, the good news is they still continue making music and they did release
new songs recently.
Dong Abay is next and the crowd went wild, he removes his
shirt and give his best performance for his opening song, Banal na Aso, Santong
Kabayo. After the number Dong told the audience, “P@**&& Wala yan sa Videoke,
dito lang yan”, and we laugh as we shout for more. He closes the set with “Tsenelas”
as requested by many.
Barbie Almabis is the last to perform, her beauty and class
is still intact to this days, for us she still the Paula Cole of the
Philippines with that cool voice but a rocker get up, good to hear also she
still write songs and release it, it radiates how happy she is being married,
to which she reveals along with her husband they write and composed music together.
The show is so fun, it brings a lot of memories maybe because
I am Batang 90’s, and we wish this can continue not only for this festival but
throughout, as long as there are like us who support our very own music, all
original Filipino music.
Are you the kind of person that always looks to see what kind of expensive your neighbor's kid is playing? Or are you worried about what your friends are making as far as their salary? Not happy in your marriage, friendships, or not being satisfied with what you have at the moment? Some people are wondering, why despite the fact that I am just a stay-at-home mother and a not-so-full-time photographer, we are still able to manage to go through the day to day lives being happy and having no (or at times with quite a few) debts from other people. It's just a matter of perspective actually. You need to learn the art of contentment. Being content is not being driven by always wanting more. I know that ambition is a prized trait in our society. I am not saying that ambition is wrong. What I am saying is that the constant striving for more and not enjoying what you have or where you are at the moment will drive you crazy. Things do and will change. Have the at...
I was at a beautiful wedding recently, and I had a small moment of revelation about the meaning of wearing a wedding ring. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. Today I Found Out the history and symbolism behind the tradition of wearing a wedding ring and why, in most western cultures, it’s worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring finger. Wedding rings today are a billion dollar sentiment of love, but no one can really say for sure when this age old tradition actually started. Some believe that the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings comes from ancient Egypt, about 4800 years ago. Sedges, rushes and reeds, growing alongside the well-known papyrus were twisted and braided into rings for fingers an other decorative ornaments worn by the women in those days. The circle was the symbol of eternity, with no beginning or end, not only to the Egyptians, but many other ancient cult...
A stepfamily or blended family is a family where one parent has children that are not related to the other parent. If you live in a blended household, you almost certainly recognize the dedication and stamina needed for a happy home. Although many families struggle through years of challenging communication, you can use specific strategies to help yours relate and function more peacefully. You may already have learned some techniques that suit your family's needs. To supplement these, review these 9 strategies to help your blended family be healthy, happy and strong. 1. Agree on a plan. In advance of "blending" the families, parents can talk about how they will manage the kids and their lives together.
