Going Home

After the 20^th Awit Awards Awards Night ended, Bobi, Cecile, and I headed straight to where I had parked the car (outside Gonuts Donuts). It was drizzling.

I got into the driver’s seat and was about to start the engine when Bobi and Cecile stopped me by shouting that we had a flat tire! The right side rear tire was completely flattened.

Awit Awards on One Long, Stormy Night

Last night, instead of having our Motion Picture Marketing class inside our regular classroom, we spent it at the 20^th Awit Awards Awards Night at the NBC Tent, The Fort, Global City. We got our free tickets (I don’t know if they actually sell them; maybe they’re all just free) from our Professor—Guy Concepcion. He got them from one of the MBA students who I think works for WishCraft, the organizer of the event.

Need Help wtih Translation!

I got this comment from Larry. I hope someone would help me with his requests! I'm not very good at translating so I don't think I'll do a good job at it.

Here's the comment: 

interesting, was wondering if you could direct me. I am looking for an english translation of excellent tagalog love songs, would appricaite any help you could give me, also the songs I have in mind are Maalaala mokaya, dahil salyo, hindi kita malimot, basta mahal kita and Minamahal minamahal kita. the reason for asking is that I would like to seranade my love to the lady I am in love with and feel that it would be insincere to send her music that I did not know the meaning of, so please help me, (before I pull my hair out) as all my internet searchs have been in vain.

You could start by translating this song: 

Ang pag-ibig ay sadyang ganyan
Tiwala sa isa't isa'y kailangan
Dati mong pag-ibig wala akong pakialam
Basta't mahal kita kailan pa man
`Wag kang mag-isip ng ano pa man
Mga paliwanag mo'y di na kailangan
At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
Mamahalin kita maging sino ka man
Mahal kita pagka't mahal kita
Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
Mahal kita maging sino ka man

Mali man ang ikaw ay ibigin ko
Ako'y isang bulag na umiibig sa `yo
At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
Mamahalin kita maging sino ka man
Mahal kita pagka't mahal kita
Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
Mahal kita maging sino ka man

THANKS!   : )

Two More Coming!

Take a look at those two low pressure areas (circular formation) to the east of the Philippines! I guess we have two more storms coming after Dodong! I just hope they’ll either both go on reverse or somehow weaken and not hit the country as storms. I hope there’s less rains, too!
