AKO SI JOSEPHINE / A CELEBRATION FEATURING THE SONGS OF YENG CONSTANTINO Yeng Constantino is probably one of the OPM artists I've grown to love, although her magic in songwriting has impressed me since "Hawak Kamay" (you know I'm a frustrated songwriter right?). It's amazing how many hits...

HIPHOP OPM CEBUANA ARTIST KARENCITTA AKA K.SEA'S "SO HELP ME GOD VOL.1"
HIPHOP OPM CEBUANA ARTIST KARENCITTA AKA K.SEA'S "SO HELP ME GOD VOL.1"
Her songs reminded me back when I was still listening to Chill, another female OPM rap artist from many years ago. I am glad Karencitta or K. Sea was able to share to me her first ever project "So Help Me God Vol. 1" mixtape. Most of it being laid back making it easy for me to discover the whole playlist even as I work.

MEET THE VOICE BEHIND MCDO'S "TULOY PA RIN" AD - KRYSTLE YAGUE
MEET THE VOICE BEHIND MCDO'S "TULOY PA RIN" AD - KRYSTLE YAGUE
It was around 2am and I'm about to sleep, lights off, and I'm lying in bed checking my Facebook when I saw this McDonald's video shared on my feed. Pressed play and later did I know I was already getting teary eyed. No, I can't relate (thank God!). No, I'm pretty much happy the whole day. But the storyline, the lyrics, that voice, it was so compelling yet not surprising because it's McDo, the affectionate ads of McDo. Nakakainis ka minsan McDo! Haha!

MY 2015 LSS / BLAME IT ON NOONTIME SHOWS, FB, MOVIES AND FM RADIO Is it redundant to say the word "trending" almost ultimately trended for the year 2015? I mean it's one overplayed hit after another, a viral music video every quarter, memes shared thousands of times,...
