Me @ KOMIKON 08




Last saturday was a success! I didn't expect to meet so many new friends at Komikon. I was very pleased to find out that there are many people who new me and my cause. There, I gave out my very own graphic novel, "The True to Life Story of Gorgoro Henson". I was planning on making only 50 copies because I wasn't sure if people would be interested in my story. But in my surprise, a lot of people came to my friend Manix' booth. So good thing I made a hundred copies and I was all out at the end of the day. Special thanks to Mr.Nino Gupana (the wordsmith in my comicbook ) and to Erl for the camera works. -GORGORO

I really really love BLUR!!

nAll musicians have their own musical influences, in my case, its BLUR! This for guys from Essex London ( I think ) really inspires me to make music.

So last Nov.13,2008’s gig at Saguijo bar is really a dream come true.

The concept of the Whole gig is to cover 4 songs of your favorite international band. Alamid covers the Cure, Chillities covers Jamiroquai, The Johnnys did Oasis,Yosha as Jill Scott, the Purplechickens played Radiohead and us syempre BLUR.

My Open letter to Mr. Obama





This is an open letter to Mr. Barack Obama, the next president of the United States of America.


First of all, Mr. Obama, congratulations on your win. You winning is truly a milestone in the history, not only of America, but of the whole world.

I’ve seen your speech in CNN when you won the presidency of the united states. It was really inspiring even for a Fil-American citizen such as myself. There is one part in your speech that really got to me. You said that you would listen to anyone’s voice, may it be from the most powerful person or the smallest. So Mr. Obama, I would like you to hear me and my story.

I'm a struggling musician.I think I got my passion for music from my Dad, he is a famous international (American) drummer. Way back 1982, when he first visited the Philippines as part of their band's World tour and after this Big Night at Olongapo, he had a one night shot of joy with my Nanay. He went back to the States and my Nanay was left with no idea that this drummer got her pregnant. After 25 years here I am..singing songs..making music...and waiting for my Dad's recognition. My father's name is Animal.

As the new ruler of the free world, I know that you have the heart and the power to do whatever you have to do to help someone in need. You are the change the world has been waiting and longing for. Now’s a chance for you to prove your greatness.

Pls.help me see my dad.:-(
