OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO E-HEADS

In view of the fact that I wasn't able to watch THE E-heads concert, (yes, I'm still bitter about it!), my sister Hazel and my brother RJ attempted to compensate for it by singing our favorite E-heads songs one fine night, with RJ playing the guitar and Ate dictating the lyrics and me on vocals. (nax!) And then we asked ourselves: if you were to pick a line from an E-heads song which speaks about the story of your life, what would that be?

Ate said that for her, it has be this line from Shirley: After three days, nag-ring an telepono ni Shirley. Si binata, ngayo'y nagso-sorry, Ilang minuto at sila'y mag-on na uli! Ganyan ma-in love-love-love! Ganyan ma-in-love.

We teased RJ that these lines tell his story: Ilang beses na akong nagpapa-cute sayo. Di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong T-shirt ko! Sagutin mo lang ako aking sinta'y walang humpay na ligaya.

The brother of my friend resonates with the lyrics of Magasin (iba na ang yong ngiti! iba na ang yong tingin! nagbago nang lahat sayo!) because his high school girlfriend became a starlet several years after they broke up.

Ate and RJ said that mine is Overdrive because of my pathetic driving skills (or the lack thereof). I insisted, however, that my life, according to E-heads, is best described by these words: Pasensya na, kung ako ay umiiyak. Mababaw lang talaga ang luha ko. Di ko mapigil, and aking damdamin. Pwede bang umalis ka na, tumutunog na ang beeper mo. Wag mo na akong pilitin, ako ay walang lakas ng loob para tumanggi. Walang dapat ipagtaka, ako ay pinanganak na torpe dyan sa tabi-tabi.

And I'm not going to explain any further. ;)
