The International Singing Sensation

I was on my way home earlier when the radio people started talking about Charice, who's father was recently killed, and they always refer to her as "International Singing Sensation," as if that's her profession.

Di sya tinatawag na "singer" or "actress," o kahit man lang "pop singer" o kahit medyo biased na "talented performer". Kailangan talaga "International Singing Sensation Charice." Punung-puno lang talaga ng bias.

Sa iba kasing balita, si "Senator Santiago, "boxer Manny Pacquiao" or "World Boxing Champion Manny Pacquiao" (at least yun, totoo), o "TV host Joey De Leon." Sa iba pang balita naman, kapag ordinaryong tao tinatawag na "Engineer Juan Dela Cruz" o pede rin na "JP Magsaka, call center agent" o "Jose Matalino, taxi driver."

Inisip ko, di naman siguro ilalagay sa resume ni Charice yung "International Singing Sensation" bilang profession.

Teka lang, ano nga ba ang album nya ulit? Ha? Nag-guest sya sa Glee? Akala ko bida sya dun.

Baka ako rin pede ko tawagin ang aking sarili na "Amazing Local Blogger."

I feel sorry her dad passed away, I really do. Napansin ko lang.
