Drummer ng “The Bloomfields”

…happens to be my god-brother. Yah, how odd. It was just 10 months ago when I created a playlist on imeem, and the song "Ale" by "The Bloomfields," made it on my list. I’ve been listening to their song ever since.

Fast forward it to last Thursday, my dad called me and wanted me to be home because we got visitors from the Philippines coming. It was my Ninang and her whole fam. I met everyone including my two kinakapatids: Rocky, 22 and Michelli, 21.

After hours of kwentuhan, they told me nga ng Rocky has a band sa Philippines. He plays drums and sometimes does vocals as well.

–Weird! Kse I personally have no idea who he was, or even made time to google the band. I just know that "one" particular song. So I asked him:

Me: "The Bloomfields? - sounds familiar. Are you guys famous?"

Rocky: started smiling. "uhmm, medyo"

My dad: "May kanta sila eh… Yung, "Ale". Nag top 1 for two weeks."

Me: "OMG, I remember na."  (logged on imeem to show playlist. Tapos, chikahan to the max)

And to my surprise, yung song na "Ale" na matagal ko ng pinapakinggan sa playlist ko, sya pala ang vocals and drummer nun.

–so yun, that’s my story. Exciting deba?! I wanna watch them live. Pag-uwi ko, Rocky owes me a VIP ticket=) hahahaa… sama ka?
