I went home early from work today and I was debating with myself if I’ll go play badminton for the third day in a row. Had my stomach not been feeling weird the whole day, like I took some coloncleansing medication or something, I probably went ahead to play despite my worries about overusing my knees over such a strenous activity (I sort of have a history). Once I got home, I immediately turned on my computer and searched for some mp3s to play while surfing the net. Boy, now I’m getting a bit sulky and nostalgic.
I found some Joey Albert songs somewhere in my files and I decided to download some more. Now, I love music and I love OPM. But I’ve always felt that the old OPM songs sound a lot more “original” than what we get to hear these days. I really can’t explain it in technical terms so I won’t try to.
When I was younger, I loved Joey Albert’s songs because of the melodies and themes. You know, they’re the type of love songs girls dreaming of “twuluv” and imagining heartbreaks and stuff (what, it’s only me?) memorize by heart. Now, listening to her songs made me realize that she’s one of the best Filipino singers we ‘ve ever had. I just love the tone of her voice. And I can be really sappy when I get to it.
i love joey albert! when i was still a kid, i have a tape of her album (the title of which, unfortunately, is something cannot remember). 
ngayon, i’m into britney spears! joke!

I’m not a Joey Albert fan but I do agree with you on the old music having that certain something compared to the new songs we have now.
