Ulog Diary #12: Spending the Weekend on Karaoke..A Filipino Culture

today's songlist

---

We Filipinos have always been fond of singing and doing karaoke. It is no wonder almost all Filipinos can really sing. Wherever you may be here in our country, there are a lot of singing competitions being held. Even while Filipinos get to live abroad, singing on karaoke still gets to be a part of gatherings. I remember we once had a foreign visitor in our office and he mentioned and kinda asked why is it that Filipinos are good in singing. I smiled and told him it is because of our love for music and karaoke and how easy it is to rent one and sing your heart out. We get a lot of practice that's why. He laughed when I told him that and he finally understood.

my turn on the microphone

Today's activity I think was influenced by watching Tawag ng Tanghalan (A Theater's Call) at the It's Showtime, a noon-time show on local television. We at home (my bestfriend, his mother and his tita) are fond of this competition. Probably because of our love for music. So after watching the competition, we decided to have one for ourselves and set-up the videoke.lol

I initially planned to ask my bestfriend to take a video of me singing so I can share it here in my #ulog story but I think I got carried away with singing that I only remembered it when we finally decided to stop and have dinner :) Anyway, we all had a great time today singing and recalling songs we haven't sung for a while ; songs we used to sing when we were in college and even years before that. Oh those were fun times!

I'm glad that I have a family and friends that share this same passion with me. It does not only allow fun moments with them but it also allows us to carry on this Filipino culture that we hope to pass on to the next generation. Well if my 10-month old daughter's shouts while we were singing today were any indication, then I'm pretty confident about this one.
