No, this isn’t about somebody hearing wedding bells. Though I had very recently been part of two wedding entourages, in the former as ninong(!) (sponsor) and the latter as abay(groomsman). But far from it.
Until my next proper post, I’d like to leave a HAPPY NEW YEAR greeting for all. Much like everybody else, I am grateful for all the goodness that came with the previous year, and I wish for better things to come in the new. And most of all, I pray that LOVE, unconditional and pure, will reign in our hearts. The way our children love.
Here is something old, from 1980 in fact. From the 3rd Metro Pop Festival (whatever happened to it?) . As kids, we used to sing this song by heart. Listen and enjoy.
Isang Mundo, Isang Awit
Leah Navarro(artist)/Nonong Pedero (composer)
Ngayon mundo’y gulung-gulo
At lahat tayo’y litung-lito
Pag-ibig sa kapwa tao
Sa daigdig dapat ituro
Kung bawa’t puso ay marunong magmahal
Kapayapaa’t kasiyahan tiyak na makakamtan
Lahat tayo’y pantay-pantay
Sa biyaya ng Maykapal
Lahat sana’y akbay-akbay
Handang tumulong kanino man
Kung bawat tao ay marunong magmahal
Ano mang kulay o salita
Tiyak makiki-isa
Je t’aime, te amo, I love you
Watashi wa anata o aistomasu
Ich liebe dich, iniibig kita
Gua ay di
Paano man sabihin
Ang mundo’y turuan natin
Tanging lunas ang pag-ibig
Isang mundo, isang awit, isang sigaw
Pag-ibig…

Hey, just dropping by to say hello. I’ve been out of the blogging scene for a while and I’ve been hitting my blogroll recently to make up for it, hehe. Hmmm… but you’re on a hiatus, too…
Anyway, belated Happy New Year, Chinese New Year … and Valentine’s Day!
Later days,
