Serendipity

[agabot]

It's another word for coincidence, but the nice kind. I'm not sure what the word is for the bad kind. I'm not quite sure how to categorize this one I just had, but just the same, serendipity was the word that popped into my head.

During dinner at home Sunday night, the TV was blaring in the living room, tuned to Sharon on ABS-CBN by the maids.

Creepy! In a good way creepy!

If it were me though, it would be "spectacularly sintonado" ringing in my head the entire time the pleasantries were exchanged. As i "Sintonado ka man! Sintonado kaaaaaaaaaa".

So he has a wife na pala. I mean I know he's one one before. But a current one.

Wow, I grew up on a steady diet of Hajji Alejandro in the 70s. My mom loved his stuff and we listened to cassette tapes (quaint at this point-doesn't it make you want to die?!) of his albums constantly. You know what? They really hold up. Several of his songs were Tagalog versions of American hits, with lyrics by Rolando Tinio even. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" = "Tulayin Ako."

Too bad he was sintonado on TV recently. I usually find myself with the opposite experience.

Metropop yielded so much good stuff. What song did you write?

Next time, can you think about, say, Hugh Laurie or Jeremy Piven or Roger Federer so they can appear at a Coffee Bean too? :-)

"Out In The Open", sung by Zebedee Zuniga and Angelica, from the first next-gen reconstituted MetroPop in the mid-90s. It's on the CD. Co-wrote it with Tux's Bob Serrano. Jaya won that year.

I'm thinking hard about Jessica Alba, actually.

Speaking of Jessica Alba....

....do you watch American Idol? You would have caught her in the audience last night. Her new movie Fantastic Four is opening in the US next month.
