Apart from my pretending-to-be busy sked as a writer, I get lazy posting in Friendster blogs before because it loads slower than a three-toed sloth. Now that it seems things are getting better, I wish I could post some more here, although a fact is screaming at me that whatever I type here doesn’t pay me anything. Like, it’s my job to write and I cannot take it up as my leisure activity too. Oh, me and my crappy excuses!

Anyway, just watched Mamma Mia and it was a blast. The last musical I saw was Sweeney Todd, which was verging on boringly ho-hum than interesting. I think the jewel that shines in Mamma Mia is the uber-familiarity of ABBA songs. And the script was inventive enough to snugly fit an ABBA song to a particular scene in the movie. Oh well. I’d better brace myself for more ABBA songs in 2010. As if you didn’t know, it will be elections in our crazy islands and candidates will have a grand time murdering the lyrics of Dancing Queen and Chiquitita for their campaign jingle. However, the most outrageous campaign jingle I have heard was in Roxas, Oriental Mindoro years back.  It wasn’t an ABBA song anyway, but it made me nearly tumble down to laugh. It was to the tune of Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger’s Islands in the Stream:

Kaya iboto niyo si ______, ah ah!

Sya’y mapagkakatiwalaan, ah ah!

The candidate might have probably won because I can’t manage to forget the weird song choice up to now.
