The Price of Having A (Broken) Leica

I hate the fact that I already sent my Leica M3 twice to Hong Kong for repair and it already cost me a fortune (HK$ 2750 to be exact). Well, what can I expect from a 50-year old camera? I just hope Mr. Panda can finally fix the stuck advance lever so I could shoot again after months of hiatus.

Eraserheads RELIC

Well…almost.

While cleaning the attic this morning, I saw the old planner my mom used while she was still active in Bistro. The planner was covered with scribbles, notes, numbers, and the list of bands that played every month. As I scanned the pages of this planner, I was surprised to see the first draft of Eraserhead’s song “Huwag Kang Matakot”. I recognized the hand-writing of my mom. I asked her why and she told me that Ely dictated the words to her while they were on a meeting. At that time, they were discussing Neale Donald Walsch's "Conversations with God" which clearly inspired this wonderful song. Too bad Ely didn’t write it for himself! Oh well, here it is.

Pagod na.

Ngunit may mga ngingiti pa rin.

Naghihintay. Nagmamasid.

Nagpapalano.
