Ang Miss Universe pageant ang isa sa mga inaabangan ng mga kaibigan kong bekis.
Heto yata ang panahon na nagiging tonsil ang mga bayag nila dahil sa sobrang takot at kaba kung papasok ang pambato ng Pinas o hindi.
Luckily, two straight years na pumapasok sa top 5 ang ating kandidata.
I wonder kung kailan mauuwi ulit ang korona.
Sana this year.
Fingers cross.
Pero pakialam ko ba kung manalo o matalo tayo this year.
Wala namang maidudulot sa ekonomiya yun.
Two weeks or so, makakalimutan na nila.
It is a major major forgettable moment.
Pero naisip ko lang today, kung ako kaya ay maging si Leah Salonga at maimbitihan akong maging judge on the said competition, ano mga magiging tanong ko?
Given the fact that the questions are pre-planned at hindi talaga galing sa mga judges ang mga tanong.
Pero kung sakali lang, na manggagaling sa akin mismo ang tanong....
Will i give them a hard time figuring out the answers to my questions?
Marahil masisira ulo nila sa mga tanong ko....
Example:
1. If you will be the most powerful woman in the world, bakit matrapik sa Edsa?
2. Do you believe in the same sex marriage? If you do, will you marry Elizabeth Ramsey?
3. What is your talent? Can you sing? If yes, do you think that Jessica Sanchez can swallow the whole microphone?
4. What's the difference between a liar and a lier? Do you know AMALAYER who can play the lire?
5. If you will have a day to live, what will you choose? Gangnam style or dog style?
6. If the essence of being a woman is being a mother, why do birds suddenly appear? Every time you are near?
7. If you are a pick up girl and Peter Piper pick a peck pickle pepper, how many pickle pepper does Peter piper picked?
8. If you will be invisible for a day, what will be the color of your suit? And why?
9. Technology brought a lot of good and bad things in our society. People tend to forget the simple task without using any devices to simplify things, so my question is, what is agriculture?
There you have it ladies and gentlemen.
My top 9 questions.
I guess kung sino makakasagot sa mga tanong ko really deserves to win.
Ayaw ko pa sanang bumangon, pero pinilit ako ng aking umiiyak na sikmura.
Nalipasan na pala ako ng pananghalian.
Kahit maaga akong nagising kaninang umaga, dinalaw pa rin ako ng antok.
Marahil sa tindi ng gawaing bahay na ginawa ko pagkatapos ng almusal.
Sa dinami dami ng dapat gawin maghapon, hindi ko alam kung bakit na "stuck" ako sa kwarto sa kabilang bahay.
Wala kasing magawa.
Wala ring alam gawin na masasabing productive.
Kaya heto, binuksan ko ulit ang aking online diary upang makapag sulat.
Pero wala rin akong alam isulat.
Pare-pareho lang kasi ang nangyayari halos araw araw.
Routine na lang.
Kaya ngayon naisip ko na lang magshare ng mga playlist ko sa aking music library.
Mga kantang halos pinapakinggan ko sa byahe papuntang opisina at pabalik sa bahay.
Sa totoo lang madalas akong matawagang weirdo sa mga song choices ko.
Mahilig kasi akong makinig sa mga unheard artist.
O mga artist na kakaiba ang tunog at istilo sa pagkanta.
A friend told me: "I have a weird taste when it comes to music!"
But i find it really flattering.
Coz i don't listen to the conventional sounds that the music industry is playing right now.
Masarap kasi silang pakinggan. (Based on my own pandinig!)
Kaya heto na lang ang ibabahagi ko at i am hoping that you will find time to listen to them also.
1. Video Games by Lana Del Rey
I love listening to Video Games kase may pagka deep yung voice ni Lana Del Rey at napaka feisty pa ng itsura.
Given the fact that she is really stunning, she has this compelling voice that can make someone listen to her more.
Kinda weird but i love her music video. May pagka 60s ang dating.
At i guess yun ang tipong style na gusto niyang ipakita.
2. Avenue by Agnes Obel
Recently ko lang narinig si Agnes Obel actually.
I bumped into her music while i was watching the Revenge series of ABC.
Ginamit siyang soundtrack sa isang episode.
After hearing her song, i tried to search it sa internet.
Luckily, i found it.
What i like about Obel's Avenue is the meaning of the song and her music inclination.
She grew up in Denmark in an unconventional environment.
At ginamit niya yun upang gumawa at sumulat ng mga kanta.
She learned how to play piano in an early age.
Plus she loves to collect strange objects and instruments such as xylophone and double bass.
How amazing!
I like weird stuff so i like her.
Mahilig rin kasi siya sa photography, film making at pagsusulat.
Maybe some of you don't know her but she is actually famous in Europe.
And her first Album Philharmonics was a certified gold.
According to her:
I don't go out and seek inspiration, I think I get my inspiration from the melody. Sometimes I feel like a melody doesn't have anything to do with me, but it's just something that comes, is accumulated from me playing on the piano, and then this little creature just appears." —Agnes Obel about her inspiration in The Quietus
3. Love will take you by Angus and Julia stones
This sister-brother duo are soooo freaking amazing!
Seriously!
Ang ganda ng timbre ng boses.
They have their own unique style and unique voice in which they compliment each other.
Ang boses ni Julia ay parang sweet innocent while kay Angus eh may pagka hoarse.
Kaya siguro kapag pinagsama yung boses parang magic!
Una kong napakinggan ang bandang to sa soundtrack ng Breaking Dawn: The Twilight Saga in which they made a song for the said movie.
Nahook ako sa kanta nila kaya ang ending i downloaded their albums.
At maganda lahat ng kanta.
Maybe because their parents are also a folk duo before they were born, ang isa sa dahilan kung bakit lumaki sila sa mundo ng musika.
At mind yah, ang ganda at guwapo ng mga jowakis nila.
Lalo na yung kay Angus, si Isabel Lucas.
If you don't know her, she is the girl who appeared in Transformer.
Yung babaing naging robot.
Kung hindi nyo pa rin kilala, bahala na kayo!
Hahaha.
So there you have it.
My top 3 favorite music on my playlist.
I just hope you had fun watching and listening to them.
