Ang Karimarimarim na Kasalang Bayan, Part 1: Wedding Playlist
Tulad nito: May lumapit sa amin na isang well-known na wedding DJ na nagbigay sa amin ng super-confidential playlist para sa isang napakalaking Kasalan ng Bayan na naganap kamakailan lang. Alam na siguro ninyo kung sino ang tinutukoy namin dito dahil napanood na ninyo siguro yung buong kasaysayan ng panliligaw nila sa TV... at dahil hindi nila alam na kinausap kami ng DJ nila, dadaanin na lang namin sa blind item ang pagbabalita nito.
Anyhow, sabi kasi ng DJ na ito, yung narinig nating music doon sa kasalang pinalabas sa balita ay hindi yung tunay na playlist na pinapatugtog doon sa buong seremonyas. Para sa ikabubuti ng bayan, nararapat lamang na ilahad namin sa blog na ito ang katotohanan... ang tunay na mga theme songs ni Senador "M" at Newscaster "K" sa kanilang kasalan!
Bridal March:
- Rex Smith, "Forever" (in the style of the JK Wedding, except mas baduy)
Offertory:
- Michael Franks, "The Lady Wants To Know" (magkano daw, pinamigay na kasi yung reception eh... *ahem*)
Final Song/ Photo Session:
- Mark Sherman,"Changes in My Life" (tapos Jed Madela yung credit sa program, YEEECHH)
- Jim Photoglo, "Fool In Love"
- Guys Next Door, "I've Been Waiting For You"
- Kuh Ledesma, "Dito Ba?" (masyadong conscious sa blocking)
- Neocolours, "Hold On" (or puwede din yung version ni Michael V)
Reception Entrance:
- Miss Ganda, "Sugat sa Puso"
- Ohio Players, "Rollercoaster Of Love"
First Dance:
- Rihanna, "Take A Bow"
- The Doobie Brothers, "What A Fool Believes"
Entourage Dance:
Money Dance:
- ABBA, "Money Money Money"
- The Dawn, "Enveloped Ideas" (mahilig daw sa "envelope" yung bride)

The Ateneo Way: Ganito Daw Sila Noon...
(Boldface, ours.)To be sure, there are many good schools in the Philippines, and all of them can claim that their graduates have played big roles in our national life. Yet, despite the fine traditions and reputations of these great schools — the Ateneo included — in inculcating values and skills among their alumni, and the long list of their graduates who have done well not just for themselves but also by their fellowmen, it is obvious that all these school also carry the shame of having among its alumni the rogues who have not only scandalized the Filipino’s sense of values but may have also inflicted heavy damage on our political, economic and social institutions.
It must make their teachers, spiritual advisers, guidance counselors shudder when they see their former students occupying prominent places in the national gallery of ill repute. I can imagine how bad some of them must feel, having given (at least in the Ateneo I knew) so much time and effort, patience and perseverance to teaching these rogues their A-B-Cs and 1-2-3s as well as the religious, civic and social values that were supposed to shape them into decent, ethical and exemplary grownups.
Hmmmm... may pinapatamaan kaya si APO Jim dito? (And by "pinapatamaan" hindi ko sinali dito ang mga hirit niya kay Gloria at sa mga Ampatuan.)
Panoorin na lang natin ang ebidensya:
Disclaimer: Mga taga-Peyups po kami... pero labs din namin ang mga Atenista, promise! Kung hindi ninyo na-gets ang joke na ito, sa inyo na iyan.

See you at Le Cirque,
Your new Congresswoman-to-be from Pampanga
Dear you-know-who,
Ayaw na sana naming mag-komentaryo dahil medyo nakakatakot na nga ang mag-komentaryo sa mga bagay na ito; baka mamaya bigla na lang kaming mawala tulad ng mga hitad sa ChikaTime. Magde-dedicate na lang kami ng kanta sa iyo, ha? Mas bagay kasi ang lyrics sa sitwasyon eh. Yun lang.
