In today’s post, let me simply share the ultimate song about unrequited love – something I can relate to.
You tell me about the love you’ve had
Odette Quesada’s “Friend of Mine”
And I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you’ll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I’m glad
That is all.

What can I tell here under 10 minutes?
Right now, I’m outside Mow’s. I just watched my younger brothers’ band and I recorded their whole set. Awesome performance as always! I also watched Jetcoaster and Sunflower Station for the 1st time. Great set from them! I should check out their songs later. And I’m looking forward to seeing Autotelic and Ang Bandang Shirley in a few minutes.
What else? Well… I’m having a hard time posting and refreshing my feed on X (formerly Twitter). I wonder what’s going on.

Yesterday, January 14, 2024, was the 55th birthday of my number 1 hero, Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. I wanted to pay tribute to my idol with a long post, but until now I’m still not done with it. I don’t want to rush it; I want my tribute post to be perfect, and I hope to finish it by this month.
In the meantime, let me share a video of Dave Grohl performing the acoustic version of arguably his magnum opus, “Everlong”. The video was originally aired on March 20, 2021, as part of Oates Song Fest 7908. It has 2 parts: (1) the songwriting process and (2) the performance itself. Skip to 6:56 if you want to check out the performance right away. It’s so breathtaking. I love the acoustic version as much as I love the original one.
Happiest birthday, Dave Grohl! Thank you for cheering me up and saving me through your music. You will always be my ultimate hero!
