Playlists and Favorite sites
I'm really enjoying the holidays even if they weren't how I planned them. Same time last year, I was on plane to surprise my parents. Today - I'm just chilling at home, looking at the 3 or so feet of snow glad that I don't have a delayed or cancelled flight. I just get to chat with them on the phone and miss them lots which is good cuz that means I love them. Being a Buddhist I don't really celebrate the birth of Jesus which in fact really is in the spring. I read this ironic information from a recent article debunking the movie Zeitgeist. So what does one to do enjoy oneself during a freakishly wonderful White Christmas in Vancouver being that it's to crazy to drive or wait for a bus? Well, utilizing the internet I found a site called Pinoy Fanatics that plays Tagalog movies ALL DAY LONG!!! And we're not talking the old ones - it's the recent ones. Then there's a site, Hayag that streams the two main Filipino channels, then there's good old Justin TV that plays the latest movies. Getting bored watching movies - I start organizing and downloading songs, creating playlists. I was blown away by the music that has really shaped my 38 years of existence and that ideas that flow from them. From Siouxsie and the Banshees, to Courtney Love and Hole to Kanye West and Justin. FYI - Madonna has her own playlist - hulleer? So do all my favorite OPM (Original Pinoy Music). Memories start rushing through me - making me appreciate the life I've had and yet to have. More songs, more memories, longer play list - better life. Playlists almost shape and give a clear indication of who a person is. What's on your playlist? If you don't have one - use this precious time to make one, you'll be glad you did. Happy Holidays!!!
