christmas caroles on bus [old-post]
Saturday, June 6th, 2009i’m migrating my blogs to this new site… for the meantime you will see me digging back and smacking up content to fill the site…. in the near future i will start blogging regularly…
from Sat 11/29/2008
it started like this… i’m on a bus from maganelles station in makati, outbound to the skyway south to alabang… stuck in rush hour traffic, the skyway is literally a parking lot… i’m jotting down notes of things to get done and ideas to execute, and all of a sudden a man stands up in the front of the bus with a guitar strapped along his chest… hahaha.. not a bomb!
anyway, he starts a familiar sounding christmas tune and sings along to it, the only competing sounds are the loud beep beeps of the buses anxiously trying to cut one another off… he sings in english and switches back to tagalog as if they are the same language… people near him in the front are even singing along.. i don’ t know this track….
it was quite relieving with walmart stampes in the U.S., mumbai pools of bodies and blood, and bangkok’s airport getting taken care this week, that this week in the Philippines Christmas is coming and everyone is happy!!!!
i’m also happy to report that mr. guitar made a couple hundred pesos as everyone had their hands out to donate to him all 60+ of us!
god bless the philippines!
