Before Baby left for the States, Hastang asked Fruhlein to lend her vocal powers to “Old Lovers’ Mantra”, an original Hastang song. I wanted to invite everyone, but Fruhlein threatened mutiny if I did. So, I reluctantly gave in to the wishes of our very shy guest performer.
Tanawa ang nawng. Paminawa ang tingog. Gakurog. Heheheh. Pakpakan nato bisan nagyagaw. Hehehe. *clap. clap. clap*
You did a great job, babe. Next time na sad, ha? 
babe, groupie sad ko nimo.
Lyrics…if you’re interested…(babe, practice na daan. hahaha)
“Old Lovers’ Mantra”
Lyrics by Yan Redoble
Music and Arrangement by HastangI whisper a mantra to the rain
A mantra of lips on a soft cheek
Echoing the sounds of nostalgia
Or the rustling of an empty bedRefrain:
I repeat this mantra
An incantation of pain
An anguished plea for release
A spell to vanquishChorus:
(chanting)I recite a mantra to the rain
A rhythmic, pulsating chanting
Riding the beats of a frantic pulse
Frenzied like bodies melting in the dark(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)Bridge:
I murmur a mantra to the rain
A mantra slow and wary
Like a leaf dropping on a windless day
Or a name lost in the incessant frayI whisper a mantra to the rain
The silent mantra of a heart letting go
Like the empty sounds of a last farewell
Or the distant echoes of a final kiss(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)

Beautiful song, and gorgeous singer! Liwat sa mama.
Ate Baby, did you know that your mother sings well too? labaw na in her pre-school days? In our time the hottest teen stars were Shooky and Lizzle. Snooky is the crowd favorite, and she looks like your mom. mwahahaha… You should see her child pictures.
Anyway, there was this incident in her childhood that could have traumatized her, maybe just maybe, and from then on she never stepped on stage nor touched a microphone, despite her fans’ demand. Better ask her her version of the story, then I will tell you our version of the story.
Ate yanyan, have you tried composing badoy songs? stuffs like, “touch my olala, my ding ding dong”,”lubot sa yawa”, “ang tigulang”, etc…?
I know it’s not you, but just for the sake of coming up with variety. I do not like these sort of stuffs too, but they are filling the airwaves for half a decade na, why not try it? just a suggestion, I come in peace I hope you don’t take it negatively. love yah!

*lol* nalingaw ko ani. Karon pa ko kabasa ani. Moy, imo gyud ko gibaphinumduman. I have buried that incident na. I
The truth is, I don’t remember singing at all but I do remember the incident. Weird. Flores De mayo to… last day sa flores de mayo. Lingaw man kaayo to sa una. You kids miss out a lot. The whole month fo May, we go to catechism and everyday we get a ticket. If you sing or dance in your clase, you get extra ticket. These tickets will be exchanged to something you want at the end of Flores De Mayo… candies, food, toys. I remember having so much fun going from stall to stall exchanging my tickets. The simple pleasure in life.
Now the singing… part of the event is a program. Murag gipakanta ko sa simbahan atubangan sa tanang mga tawo sa Ipil. It’s gotta be the whole of Ipil kay end gud to sa Flores De Mayo. Kani laging kanta ta nga walay microphone, wala ma-anad nga mag-gamit ug mic. Pagkanta nako, nahadlok ko sa mic unya nayabag… yabag gyud kaayo nga nangatawa tanang mga tawo. And i just stopped and cried in front of everyone… And I never sang after that. (Well kanta gamay sa Karaoke.)
