1:43


I am not really a fan of uber-rock music. Well, it depends on my mood. But most of the time I am acquainted with soft-sounding and easy-listening sounds.

Not so long ago, I was eating with a friend (Mary Lou Christine Declines -- yeah, she really requested at me to allot a space for her in my blog) at Mang Inasal, EDSA Central branch. They have a sort of TV-in-the-air there, maybe, for the purpose of entertaining their customers while waiting for orders to be served. I noticed Pan (that's how I call Mary Lou) patriotically watching the video. Since I had to look at my 9 o’clock angle to be able to see, I took time to listen first. I knew it was like a boy band/group. The song was Tagalog. As I listened for another couple of minutes, I figured out that they sound like the then and now (?) famous F4.

So I looked at the TV, too. As I was watching them, I grinned. Yes, the MTV was cheesy (at least) for me. When it ended, Pan and I stared at each other. I was about to say something when she said, “Sino sila?” I only managed to shrug because I did not know too. But I also said, “Medyo okay naman yung kanta pero ang cheesy ng video.” Then we laughed. Then we ate.

1:43, the band’s name. Sa Isang Sulyap Mo was the song that we were listening to. Trivia: at this very moment, I am listening to it. Today is the very day that I realized the video just complements the meaning of the song itself. Cheesy. Definitely. But I like it. I am not a musician. I don’t even know how to play any musical instrument. I just appreciate. This one seems too good to my ear, heart, and soul. I guess I am barely being my self while listening to this song. The message, the rhythm, the voice… ugh, I guess teens and teens at heart will surely be blown away. Try ‘ta listen! :)

Ooppsss, wait! By the way, I love cheese!  :)
