hi, boo.
i don't know if you still remember me. we were
classmates for the
longest time at pcs and for a while at up prep.
your name was pedro then and you were staying in
pandacan and had a
green (willy's?) jeep.
i heard news about our old teachers (ms. balajadia,
etc) and bumped
into our old friends recently - mandy trinidad,
emmy sison, rafael
suarez in separate occasions.
and the memories just started pouring on.
(me? i ventured into advertising and songwriting
simultaneously and am
proud of some minor achievements.)
for you and for all our classmates, i just finished
recording a
special song (the centerpiece of the newest hotdog
album in over a
decade)and would like to share it now. here goes...
Hindi Ko Kailangan Ng Viagra
(Dennis & Rene D. Garcia)
Itong barkada ko… ang kulit-kulit-kulit
Merong isang reklamo… paulit-ulit-ulit:
Ba't daw mukha na lang niya ang nagagalit?
Tumatayo na lang, balahibo sa singit
Nang madinig niya ang tungkol sa Viagra
Laking pasasalamat sa bagong pag-asa
Nagtataka kung ba't hindi ako interesado
Ako ba raw ay may tinatagong sikreto…
Hindi ko kailangan ng gayuma
Hindi naghahanap ng pampagana
Isang ngiti mo lang, buhay na buhay
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Hindi ko kailangang bumili pa
Pang-kiliting sa Ongpin 'binebenta
Isang halik mo lang, buhay na buhay
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Pag kapiling ka, ako'y batang-bata
Dugo'y sumisigla… nagkakandarapa
Kahit porma mo'y hindi Rosanna Roces
Handang ibigin ka… kahit ilang beses
Hindi ko kailangan ng gayuma
Hindi naghahanap ng pampagana
Isang ngiti mo lang, buhay na buhay
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Hindi ko kailangang bumili pa
Pang-kiliting sa Ongpin 'binebenta
Isang halik mo lang, buhay na buhay
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Ika'y magaling pa sa Viagra
Hindi ko kailangan ng gayuma
Sa buhay ko, ikaw ang pampagana
Maisip ka lang, buhay na buhay
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Hindi ko kailangang bumili pa
Korean bug, ginseng o talaba
Isang halik mo lang, buhay na buhay
Hindi ko kailangan ng Viagra
Ika'y magaling pa sa Viagra
write back, boo... and don't be a stranger.
all the best... dennis

i live too.
actually this is a great time for you to re-surface because
our batch at

we finally
started meeting again, monthly both here and in the us
west coast. maybe
you can join in the next meeting and your name added

of e-mail buddies. i will cc manny canillas this response
