Manila has some crazy weather today, but then where in the world is the weather considered sane, anyway? With global warming throwing everything out of whack, it's not hard to believe everything's gone crazy, no?
Speaking of crazy, why is it that some people do random acts of insanity when you least expect it? I mean, come on people; we live in a society where anything not allowed by law is called illegal and anything incomprehensible is called unacceptable. And then you go ahead and do something crazy?
Allow me to explain.
I was watching a show aired in a local station last Sunday. Nothing too fancy; just a magazine-type of show you know, one that features a lot of things that would pique our interest. The theme for the show was something along the lines of the "different flavors of life". There's the sweetness of undying love...something like that. Then they featured something that would embody sourness.
Here, ladies and gentlemen, is where the crazy stuff begins (you have been warned).
To us Pinoys, when you say a woman still has "asim" (aka sourness), it means she still got the stuff to attract men. Think of it as the X-factor of sexiness. So they featured one such woman. Nothing crazy, right? Wrong. Dead WRONG.
Specially when the woman in question is a sixty (or seventy) something ex-fortune teller turned singer!
There was only one way to describe it: an abomination. I thought half of my brain cells dropped dead from shock at seeing an old lady shake her hips while donned in bright pink leotards and a sleeveless body-fitting blouse and shades, accompanied by teenage boys! Singing her song (that, IMO, would NEVER reach the bottom place of any music chart anywhere in the universe)!
I actually screamed in horror when I saw her music video.
The horror. The torture (not to mention the trauma)!
To people out there who know what I mean, just watch her video on youtube. *shudder*
I don't have anything against her, really. I don't hate her. It's just so wrong to watch someone insist that they can sing, can be found attractive still, when you're already way past the menopause stage. Sure you can show your "young at heart" attitude. But there's a right time and place (and manner) of showing it.
And making an album and a music video with teenage boys is NOT the right way to go about it.
