Happy Halloween!!!

Wishing you all a Safe N Fun Celebration!!!

JEALOUSY - is not a part of my vocabulary...   for me,  it is a wasted emotion...  

Instead of looking at others and being jealous, try looking within you...  Inside you... Past and present...   See all that you have been blessed with..  And are being Blessed with. 🙏🙏🙏

Be at Peace. See how light, simple, easy and happy life could be.

"OPM"

Woking Friday while listening to a few OPM Faves...  

Now, am not well versed on Pinoy music , really..  I actually own more Spanish CDs than OPM but I do have my faves!!!

Gary V - i have admired and idolized growing up in the Bay  Area to present...  Others I discovered during trips in Manila - some i hear on the TAXI ( Ogie Alcasid, Wency, Nina, Yeng) or bought for the first time just because the CD cover caught my eyes (Mark Bautista, Ariel Rivera, Jericho Rosales)...

Then there's Piolo Pascual - totally different level of admiration😜😜😜.   Besides Gary V and Mark Bautista, his CDs are the only ones I buy without fail!

Mark Goes Daring!

Perfect to greet this Hump Day with a biiiig smile.

One of my Fave Filipino Singers, Mark Bautista, has been releasing some truly sexy shots on his own Facebook and Instagram accounts... And these happens to be the most daring shots of his I have ever seen....

Photos are taken by well known celebrity photographer, Raymond Isaac.

Happy Hump Day!!!

MARK BAUTISTA - Kahit May Mahal Ka Ng Iba. HD

FINALLY, A Brand New Music Video from Fave OPM artist, Mark Bautista!!!

Mark Bautista's New CD - Coming Soon!

am soooo vey much looking forward to this - Mark Bautista's latest CD/Album: "Nagmamahal"

yep yep, the OPM singer/actor/hunk, who is truly a FAVE of mine has a new CD coming out next week.... and I cannot wait to get it and of course, overplay it!!!!

mark bautista!

well, am still in 7th Heaven from seeing Mark Bautista perform LIVE yesterday at the 112th Philippine Independence Day Celebration in Taipei.... have already processed all the photos... UPLOADED them on FLICKER.... BLOGGED about the EVENT.... the only thing missing are the videos I shot of him and the other performers singing live.... my internet provider is sooooo slow that a 3 minute video is to take 15 HRS - lols..... so all will have to wait another day - when I can actually go elsewhere, where the connection is much faster and I can UPLOAD with no troubles at all...

So for now I will just leave you with a couple of YOU TUBE music videos of Mark, one in English and another in Tagalog, that I like a lot... so you can get a TASTE of his singing style....

Here he sings a cover of the ballad - manly voice and yet full of emotion: "Break It To Me Gently":

and and in this one, Mark sings one of my all time fave Filipino song classic: "Ngayon at Kailanman" - this is from the Grand Finals of Star of the Night, Philippine's version of American Idol... he came in first runner up back in the early 2000's... been a fan of his ever since!!!

Super Pinoy Sunday

This month marks the 112th Anniversary of the Philippines Independence.... and each year, this Holiday is celebrated in Taipei by the MECO Office (who handles all affairs of the Philippine Nationals in Taiwan) - in collaboration with many, many companies who benefits through the thousands of Filipino workers in the Island of Taiwan...

Like in years' pasts, a host of celebrities are flown in to stage a concert for the OFWs - ushering in the celebration of this Filipino Holiday... for the last few years, the venue has been the Taoyuan Covered Stadium in Taoyuan City - almost an hour outside of Taipei - but much more convenient for a lot of OFWs as most factories are around the vicinity... it is also GREAT to have it at this venue as June is already rainy season in Taiwan - and having the stadium covered helps get the show going - come rain or shine...Now I have never been to one of these concerts - for one reason or another... at times I happen to be out of the country... the particular stars I do not know or care for, or the venue just way too far.... but this year was to be different... I could not have missed it as one of my MOST FAVE Filipino singer/actor is the main draw - Mark Bautista... so it mattered not, that the venue is a long bus ride on a gloomy Sunday afternoon... I had to be there and see/hear this idol of mine sing LIVE!!! I have missed his concerts in the US, Philippines and once, even in Taiwan ( a few years back)...

and boy was I ever glad - he did not disappoint - his voice so Pure, so Manly, and so Full of Emotions.... even more so than on his CDs... he is just as entertaining & charming in person... talking to the crowds, making jokes, getting on all fours to kiss one or two people on the audience, and bringing that familiar BUDDY feeling to the people so far away from home.... he sang some of his hits and a few oldies... he did this all to my AMAZEMENT and ENJOYMENT!!! A total entertainer, indeed!!!

and as a BONUS treat, a few other entertainers were there that completely entertained.... the popular band SPONGECOLA rocked everyone; the beautiful Vina Morales sang and dance her heart out - giving every song her all; and the oh-so-funny Giselle Sanchez -- I know nothing of this woman but am sure to never forget her... she had everyone laughing till our stomachs ache from the very get-go... and the audience themselves, touched me so.... the smiles, the laughter, the joys are all apparent - ever so happy to see familiar faces from back home... and enjoying and savoring every minute and every moment of this Special Super Pinoy Sunday...
