Musica ex machina (Music of the machine)







Looks can be deceiving.
I took a ride with my classmate Julius' sporty Honda Civic Tuesday night for dinner with the Law School bratpack (Adolf, Sweet, Karen G, Da Colonel, and me). The thought of a Bicol palate feast made me salivate right off the first gear. Since the ride will take a quarter of an hour, PNP's newest Colonel doodled his fingers on his car stereo. The selection was vast, huh. Earth, Wind and Fire, Beegees, ABBA, Beatles, Jon Bon Jovi. Impressive. Then he finally landed on his pick. Like a dj, he plucked his choice and played it.
You know what that was?
Rey Valera, dewds.
Yup. On a sporty Honda Civic with 17-inch chrome rims yet. You can imagine the blend of Rey Valera's sharp voice and the booming baritone of the car's Sebring exhaust pipe each time he steps on the gas.
What a man!
Oops, let's not risk running into trouble with a Police Senior Superintendent (PSS), or risk being barred from ever riding his wheels.
Da Colonel is not a bad singer afterall.
His favorite?
Rivermaya.
At least, he doesn't sing Rey Valera.
Peace, Colonel.

    i beg to disagree kaye gurl...i don't think there was a generation gap at all...kahit maputi na ang buhok ko is a classic and it was just recently revived by richard poon.
    or maybe it could be that i can relate to the song because as swexie said during our trip, i am the gateway between the old and the new...the bridge of the generations...hehehe...
