Everyday is a different story...

Wrapping up.

If I remember it right, less than twenty four hours after I asked my friends what was the title of the song below this post was, I have managed to message half of my phonebook a few stanzas of the said song.

The song goes by the title "Mga Tambay Lang Kami" sung by this new local rap group Dagtang Lason. Dagtang Lason is your typical Pinoy group who have nothing better to do with idle time so they just rapped their sentiments hence their song is called that. However I knew this facts, blame it on GMA 7's show Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.

One boring Saturday night, as I channel surfed mindlessly, I came across GMA 7 and surprisingly, they were playing a song that sounds familiar. Yes, the infamous latest LSS-inducing song was their feature. So I stopped pounding on the remote control and started tuning in to the television.

As expected, the song was written based on personal experiences, it was accepted warmly by most listeners, particularly the younger generation. And with double meaning songs, and a culture that's so conservative as you can get, it also bagged negative reactions, which is why it was a feature in the show.

In my opinion, I don't think it's doing any harm to anyone. Although it might be taken as an insult when you first hear the song, I think this song is brilliant. From what I've observed, more and more straight guys are now going for the gay population. Don't ask me why, but I guess the song is voicing a good reason: Masarap magmahal ang bakla.

Not that I'm okay with guys going for the same sex for their partners, but sublimically, I guess I'm okay with the guys who can't respect and afford, or at least try, to spend on a girl to go for a gay person, who, in our country, is by far well-off than most straight person I know. Or maybe gay men just love spending money on their men, just like real men do with the ladies.

Oh well. This entry is getting long. Again, I never thought I would be writing about this for my second attempt in getting back on the writing field. But before I wrap up the topic, view the video below and kill your curiousity what has been lurking my mind in the past week or so. Enjoy! :D
