ano va, ding?

Currently listening to Ultraelectromagnetic Jam. Again.

Track 11: "Pare Ko" by Sponge Cola

I browsed through peyups.com once, and a forum post confirmed that the band's Yael Yuzon was a bisexual. WTF? He might be 'tisoy' and neat-therefore-not-that-masculine to look at, but I just can't believe he is bisexual. I dunno. I have high respects for such bands. Not that I look lowly or lesser of gay people or bisexuals. But they just don't match. Sorry, I sometimes have a narrow-mind for stereotypes. But dude, if ever you are, just be happy man. And keep on giving us cool music.

Good version of "Pare Ko," I should say. As what I've said on a CD-Review podcast I had but never got the chance to broadcast due to stupid dialup technology, I loved Eraserheads' songs but I despised the band for some Ely Buendia reasons. Now that there is an album of various artists doing remakes of their music, by far I could say the versions were better than the original.

Speaking of "Pare Ko," since revivals have been really consented and considered nowadays, I've watched Star Cinema's youth flick over at Studio 23's Lunch Box Office. Yeah, Jomari's loose polo, Jao's same old look, and Claudine's bushy eyebrows and more. One thing I've realized: I would love to do a "Pare Ko" remake. A movie perhaps, or a series. I may really not be the serious type of filmmaker you know. All I ever dreamed of is doing my own youth-oriented show, or co-writing for a top-rating drama series or sitcom. Corny, or even gay? Hehehe! One thing I could say though - it has been a dream ever since a kid. If you dreamed of doing a heart transplant, or planning for the tallest building along Ayala when you were young, I already dreamed of shouting "And... Cut!" or simply cramming for a script (yeah, cramming) even before I reached high school. So before you think it's crap, it meant "craft" for me. Anyway, if you'll ask me who I'd love to cast for a "Pare Ko" remake, I'd pick these Goin' Bulilit kids, who by then will be teenagers. It's time to test their flexibility and maturity.

I've read through peyups again and heard over the Magic 89.9 morning show "Good Times with Moe" that 'N Sync lad Lance Bass was actually a lass. He just admitted he is gay and has been dating a reality show winner. Wow. Gays are really everywhere. Again, nothing against you people, with all due respect. Do your thing, as long as your happy, and gay. Yeah, Choi, stupid remark. Seriously, just be who you are. Who cares right?

And finally, to Joan and Marcelo, who - I don't know, maybe because of alcohol intake - kept asking me if I'm gay or at least bi, two words: "am not." Joan said, "tanggap ka naman namin kung bi ka e..." I say "ok, salamat, pero hindi naman e." A drunk man is an honest man. Take that.
