Far From Neutral Notions - Philippine politics, culture and stuff

Thoughts of Yano invariably lead me to the dreary and lonely years of college - that is, the first time I was in college in Diliman. It’s been so long since I last listened to Dong Abay that I actually forgot the lyrics; heck, I even forgot I had the mp3’s in the first place. But when I came across them, all I could think of was you, especially with this song:

It seems irreverent, doesn’t it, that a Yano song should invoke memories of you? But then again, just about everything does. Everything good and wonderful in this world I have discovered because of you, and through you I have also seen the dark underbelly of this “Savage Garden”. It’s all I can do not to despair.

Just in case you ever make your way back here again, Poodle’s doing fine, the job’s good so far, but the band seems all but dissolved. I haven’t even seen them in months. Dad was here over the weekend to visit lola, she’s not doing so well, and I promised dad to visit her more often.
