Randomness

it's february and love is in the air. for those of you who have a special someone with whom to share valentine's day, make every moment count. and when it's over, celebrate it again everyday for the rest of the year. for those of you who are single...learn to appreciate your solitude and distinguish it from loneliness. it's so ironic, but nothing is more attractive than independence. but then ofcourse that's just my opinion.

many thanks go to all those who showed their love for me in my recent mall shows. i will be dropping by robinsons cebu this saturday, february 16 for my next gig. and i have to say, i'm so excited to go back to cebu. after my first mall show there, i was able to try all the wonderful food that the city had to offer. so on my trip back, i'll be looking forward to more food trips!

after exchanging a few words with some of you during my mall shows, i learned that there are some people impersonating me on several networking sites. please be careful disclosing private information to individuals who claim to be me. you can be sure by checking the links:


those are the only public accounts i have, in addition to this blog. just giving you guys a heads up. :)

well i guess that's all for now. don't forget to tune in to my radio show, VINTAGE SOUL, every wednesday night on wave 89.1. this week i'll be featuring my cousin, carl talabis, on guitar. so keep it locked on the metro's most influential.

PEACE.

Ever Been Swept Away?

Just the other week, we wrapped up the production of my second music video for my new single, Swept Away. Some of my friends and family were able to join me in the shoot, including my mom who also made an appearance, so it was a project that has been most fun. The entire video was shot in this alley in Manila, featuring real people, and real happenings. Check it out.

Below are pics of my friends and family who, luckily for me, were free that day to offer their services as actors/actresses in my music video! :) Watch out for the cutie in yellow! He's got places to go!

The one who looks like he's doing karate in this next picture is our kick-ass director! And the guy taking a photo in the back? Oh...some obsessed fan. (Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!)


Eeewww...my face looks really chubby there. But look at Jonna in this next shot! So masungit! Hehehe!

Here are some of the residents of that street in Manila. We asked them to do some of their normal, everyday activities for the shoot. Ofcourse in front of a camera, it's always a little more difficult. But they did such a great job anyway! I most especially loved the carpenter guy...You'll see what I mean when you watch the video. :)


The next photo was taken while we were previewing what we had shot for the day. I guess we're biased, but we liked it! :D I hope all of you out there like it too!

Well, the video is out now on MYX. It aired just last week and I was surprised to see it! I thought it wouldn't be out till February, but hey, the sooner the better for me. Please support it by voting for it as many times as you can everyday! Hehehe...You can do that by keying in MYX[space]VOTE[space]SWEPT AWAY and send it to 2366.
I know it's too soon to be talking about this, but I can't wait till my next music video. With that one, you all will finally be able to hear my own composition! My first two singles have been covers, but the third one will be my very own! So there's always something to look forward to...Oh and hey! I just want to say THANKS to Billie Princesa for providing us these pictures! Hahaha! She's an old schoolmate of mine, a singer-songwriter too, so be on the lookout for her. Hey Billie!!! (Yeah, you know I gotta give my props.) CHOMP! :D
