Kami Band - Souths Juniors

KAMI BAND

Never heard of them: CLICK HERE!

Contrary to popular belief, our bakarda (Tagalog for group of friends or similar) do not have shares in this band. Wish we did - but sadly we don't. :-) Just enjoy the band and appreciate what they all do for us.

I first come across them at East Leagues while on a night out with a group of friends. Some of these friends mentioned they usually watch them at South as well. We, of course, followed the crowd to Souths a week later to listen to them again.
This has subsequently lead to over a year of following them around these two clubs, along with many others around the Sydney area.

If you love good, loud, live music (decent music - not that noise that often passes for it nowdays) then I suggest you check them out some time.

To Oscar and the rest of the family - Thanks!

MATES - A SERIOUS POST

" AY NAKU "

Yeah thats probably what your saying, afterall since when has a serious post been allowed to interfere with the 'G-Spot Karaoke Gang' blogsite?
For our engish speaking readers it means "Oh my god". Jut one of many words learn't in the slow process of trying to understand Tagalog.
Well having just had my two daily Tanduay doses (keeps the flu away and is agreed too by ones doctor) in quick succession, I find myself in the mood to babble on. Perhaps, as my mate Keith says, start yet another NOVEL length posting.
Yeah I like to type, once I start I tend not to stop to easy, especially after the earlier mentioned double Tanduay shot :-)

Over the last week I have had much cause to think about mates. Not just the ones you occasionally see down the pub, in the local supermarket, or cruising brothels around Darling Harbour.
I mean the real mates, those selected few out of hundreds that reach the highest allocated level of mateship, those afforded the title of 'Best Friends'.
In reality, even a half drunk and sodomised beaver can tell I love the Filipino community out here in Australia. No more fun can be had than when eating, drinking and singing with these guys.
Many are the number of Filipino who I have met, some what less the number I occasionally hang out with, significantly less the number I can really call best friends. Actually this later number is in single digits and probably countable on one hand.

Most of us never give a second thought to it all, at least until one feels said friendship may be over. It is then you really feel how important that friendship is. Perhaps you are the aort of person who dosen't give it much of a thought - perhaps though, if you really do care, you worry about it endlessly.

Any friends are hard to find in this hollow excuse of a country, so best friends, if you are lucky enough to find any, ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
I, for one, will never EVER forget this again.

Salamat to all of you - You all know who you are..

HAPPY CHRISTENING - KIANU

G'day to all who have happened along for a look at the site.
Yeah I have been somewhat slack in my updates, much has been happening in life, while my search for someone gulible enough to pay me for doing blogs has, still, been less than fruitful.
So here I find myself with a bit of spare time and sharing with all a little of the bollocks I have been getting up to of late.


Last week, hmmmm, actually it was the week before now, I was lucky enough to be invited to the christening on Kianu, the son of our friends Jessie and Rowena.
Not being a particularly religious person myself, I really can't describe all that was going on in the church. I merely photographed while things were done with holy water, candles were lit and people scrambled for photos.
When I got married, I really thought that would be the last time I entred a church. Alas this has proved not to be the case, with so many Filo friends making it quite a regular occurance.

The following selection of photos show a few of the things that happened during the big event.
Many thanks to Jessie and Rowena for allowing us to share in the event.

One of the many post christening photo opportunities. The beautiful Rowena, her hubby Jessie and Kianu are to the left of the priest , those to the right I don't know.

Jessie, Rowena and Kianu during the actual ceremony!

Jessie lights a candle, then goes on to light everyone elses.

Just a small selection of the many lovely Pinay woman attending
the christening after-party.
The usual food, drinks and karaoke was enjoyed and the opportunity taken to get photographs of beautiful woman that, at other times, would
likely get you arrested.
