Indian Boy

I received this email from a friend and I find it funny. I hope it's somehow going to put a smile on your face today. Enjoy!


A little Red Indian boy asked his father, the big chief and witch doctor of the tribe, "Papa, why is it that we always have long names, while the white men have shorter names - Bill, Tex or Sam, for example?"

His father replied, "Look, son, our names represent a symbol, a sign, or a poem for our culture --not like the white men, who repeat their names from generation to generation.
Also, it is part of our makeup that in spite of everything, we survive.

For example, your sister's name is Small Romantic Moon Over The Lake, because on the night she was born, there was a beautiful moon reflected in the lake.

Then there's your brother, Big White Horse of the Prairies, because he was born on a day that the big white horse who gallops over the prairies of the world appeared near our camp and is a symbol of our capacity to live and the life force of our people.

It's very simple and easy to understand.

Do you have any other questions, Little Broken Condom Made in China?"

International Gigs...

When I was still with the band, there were offers for us to go abroad. To be professional performers in Japan. We were still young back then and most of use were still in school. So we declined the offers and just enjoyed singing in the local pubs in GenSan. Since the band have now become known not only in GenSan but some other cities in Mindanao, I bet they've also been offered to work abroad. I hope they'd take the opportunity one day. Life for them would be so nice if that's going to happen. They might afford to do Outer Banks vacations and have gigs in other countries. International gigs! Wow! What a dream! lol!

JMIX Gig

Kuerdas Band's gig at JMIX was fun according to my cousin Jayson. People did enjoy the reggae beat played by the band.

Here are some of the photos:

Fat Kids Aren't Healthy...

I was watching the noon time TV show - Wowowee 2 days ago. In one of their games, the players were chubby, overweight kids. Yes,they're cute and cuddly but I pity them because although they are big, they aren't healthy. Their mom's really don't know what their kids are getting into. I bet these kids will have problems growing up especially when they would want to lose weight. The moms may not have thought of putting them in a diet in an early age yet. They may think that slimming pill will take care of their kids' weight when they grow up. It wouldn't be a bad idea if they help out their children have a proper diet early on, right?

Kuerdas Band at Jinky Pacquiao's Bar Tonight

Few minutes from now, Kuerdas Band is going to start doing their first set of songs at Jinky Pacquiao's bar - JMIX.

Jinky is Manny Pacquiao's wife and one of the businesses she managed to build was a bar in GenSan. Photos of the gig will be posted next.

If you want to have some fun tonight and wanna dance to the reggae beat, you may drop by at JMIX. It's located at Provido Heights, General Santos City. Enjoy!

Gadgets For The Boys

Holidays are coming. Kuerdas band for sure has a lot of gigs in line. That also mean that they will earn a lot of money this holiday season. Gadgets are already on their minds. Some of them may even be planning to buy Samsung gadgets or appliances. They so much deserve to treat themselves. After all, giving entertainment isn't easy yet it's enjoyable. I hope they won't get tired of playing beautiful reggae music! Much love guys!

Mark Loves Skimboarding

The lead vocalist of the band, my dear cousin, Mark is a skimboarding enthusiast. Skimboarding is a boardsport where a skimboard is used. It's a smaller and sleeker version of a surfboard. Unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach, with the skimboarder running and dropping their board onto the thin wash of previous waves. The skimboarder 'skim' out to breaking waves in a manner similar to surfing. When it's done, they do the 'flatland' which involves performing trick derived from skateboarding. It's quite dangerous but Mark love doing it.
