Atlanta meet up / New Song Added
Me and my Grade school friends met up in Atlanta, Georgia
last Labor day weekend.
And had a great time.
I played this song, in tribute to how wonderful these people are.
Them and their families.

Thanks Abbie, Jay and Emma.
Thanks Maita.
Thanks Jojo and David.
and Thanks Myra, Chris and Jake.
You know,
I’ve looked at our old pictures,
and it made me wonder how things have turned out for everyone.
Sometimes, I can’t help but notice
how everyone’s life turned out as they are.
I never expected my life to be like this.
Nothing is as how you wanted them to be,
but still you make do with what you got.
Spending your time trying to fix your broken dreams.
Just like when I was at that age,
I wanted to be a famous Rock Star.
Rich beyond my dreams,
and with people bowing to my greatness.
That didn’t happen.
Not even remotely close.
Except for the famous part.
I am famous!
But only in Japan.
I am “big” there.
** Happy Birthday to Maita (13), Myra (22) and Emma (24).

Hurry, because I am making them private soon.
I really couldn’t describe in words what we experienced —
–the anticipation is more than that of a child to open presents on Christmas day;
–the laughter is much better than watching a stand up comic doing a “World Cup” joke;
–the happiness felt is genuine compared to winning a million dollars in the lotto (hmm… a million dollars ba kamo?? i have to get back to you on this.. hehe!)
Well, I have to contend with GREAT for now…
From the bottom of my heart —-Thank you to all. It was really hard to leave… Hope we can do it again.
Uhm TY – people did bow at you…hmmm okay it was just Myra…and I have the video to prove it hahahaha…
It was a helluva fun and I AGREE we have to do it again…
Let’s VOLT IN ulit…
“Ditto” everyone- I couldn’t agree more…
After all the days and weeks passed…you guys are still in my dreams!
reuniting with all of you was so much fun! (next time I’ll sing reunited for all of you!) hahahaha!
I think in “Chris’s Mind” he bowed to you as well, Ty- ang galing mo daw!
I have to agree with my 3 sisters. We had a blast! I can’t wait to see the videos from Abbie’s videocam. Men, we were wild. Para tayong laruan, pag nakarinig nang music automatic sumasayaw. Hahahahahaha! I will never forget that scene where Myra was singing tapos we were dancing around her, actually she was sandwiched between the 3 of us (go figure), but she went on. Classic!!!!!
I didn’t mind flying from coast to coast to see you guys. Leaving was the hardest part. After that trip, parang lahat nang dinners and parties that I’ve been since we got back was corny na. The fun we had in Atlanta was hard to top.
Okay, when do we volt in ulit? Teka, Volt, ex ko yan ha. Hahahahaha!
den didnt you feel that you are aga the actor during your reunion, yah its really great to see all your childhood barkadas, keep it up, having friends since your bagets day is a good indication that you r a good person/
Wonderful cover, Den.

Yes. I am blessed by having very good friends.
Thanks Vince.
It’s nice to slow things down a bit.
And thanks again, ladies.
