Music. The Different Kind.

I remember two summers ago, my friends and I were eyeing on getting a job at Makati. We got our internship programs from companies situated in that area, and I guess we kinda liked the vibe that the city has. Long walks from Paseo de Roxas to the MRT station was a lot of fun, actually. Aside from the endless talks and lots of bullying (to a certain someone we love teasing cos she rarely gets angry and she's incredibly fun to be with talaga), we kept ourselves enjoying with the kind of music we played on our mp3s. It kept us hyped up during the rush hours up to the time that we parted ways to go to our own respective homes.

I just suddenly remembered the story when I played a random CD in my car earlier as I drive to office. You know, my CDs are scattered everywhere inside my Lightning McQueen. The CD was like a compilation of Younha's kind of J and K Pop. Oh she's the cutest.



I like the fact that Japan and Korea were able to define their own kind of music. I listen to them although I must admit that I don't really understand what most of the songs say. I find them really cute. Back in college, I would always ask my Korean friend Kim Hee-Jung to get me the gist of some particular songs. I won't forget Younha's Delete for it's saying something like "You're losing me. But hold on to me, and win me back."


So anyway, you can search her on Youtube to check out how cute she is. Click here to view my personal favorite. :)

I end this blog with the hope that someday, Pinoy music would also define its own identity. Original, loud, and proud. :)

I think we have some musicians that are doing a great job already. Hello to Urbandub. ;)
