SUPER DUPER LATE... 

please take note that I'd already drafted this waaaay before, and I'm too lazy to make some changes. anyway let's just pretend it was last week ;)

****

Because last Saturday I was sooo Coachella frustrated that I craved for an audio date. 

Then a message from Kymoi was all I needed.

Say hello to my boy Johnoy Danao.

 Relatively unknown, in my world, but unbelievably talented.

Like I said, if only his voice could impregnate then I'd probably be having dozens of kids by now. He's that good. His style is kinda Jack Johnson-ish X Jeff Buckley-ish X and etc. etc.-ish. But, I have to say he's closest to Dave Matthews, and his originals are darn feel good.   

Just you play, watch and listen...

Told ya!

and  clearly Kymoi we are such a fangirl... haha

Thanks for playing 2 of my long list of request boy Johnoy. You surely got my friend Chasing Pavements while I on the other hand, was drowning in the ecstasy of your Champagne Supernova.

To Ramos, gracie!

And to Coachella.... just you wait and see!

beautiful friends...

the first time i went to Apo island 2 of my friends gave me a send off on the way home by jumping so near our small banka. at that time i was so delightedly shocked that i forgot my camera at hand.

now, for the second time, i never dared to forget my camera coz i know they'll be there waiting for me and i was right! and you know what the best part is? they brought their whole tropa along! how cool is that?!

i love my dolphins.
and
i love apo island.

and i'm assuming enough to say that i was the reason why they showed up. they are such intelligent creatures that they can sense i'm coming. i'm that special and that's how strong our bond is.

someday my beautiful sea friends i shall swim with you. i shall make it my mission. till then.

i heart ya! ;)

Lil' V....

I think i just discovered another Regine Velasquez in the making. hmmmm?....

Like some proud talent hunter, I discovered this kid a few months back when my father and I went to Bohol for a family affair. On the way back to Cebu, by some management reasons at the port of Tubigon, all passengers were forced to stay inside the passengers' lounge, to keep us from hopping on the boat ahead of others. I don't know if that made sense but Bohol's very own "Von Trappe" family certainly did.

The father, mother, daughter and daughter tandem were all belting it out for the waiting passengers. The father, though blind, is the jack of all trades, he does the talking, singing and strumming of the guitar. And the rest... well, they just sing. They pretty have good voices, typical Filipino belting out/ shouting (to make up for the absence of mic) style. But who I found so adorable is the youngest kid named V.... errrrr... na?da?... anyway I suck with names, so let's just call her V.

V, despite the size, packed alot of air in those diaphrams. And as the frustrated singer that I am, this is probably the only instance when I'm finally not bitter over someone else's musical talent. Instead, I just resigned to the fact that the world is indeed not equal. And that though God has given others the talent I, on the other hand, just got the confidence.

Anyway going back, this kid is A-MAZING! seeing and hearing her perform could only make you wish that the future be kind to this tiny kid and lead her to great heights.

On the second thought, didn't Regine Velasquez started out this way? hmmm... should I put myself to good use be a talent manager instead?.. watchatink?... do i have the eye for a real talent? or is it just my confidence getting in the way again?... hehe... anyway just check out Lil' V.
