In the height of realising what a big role media has in influencing ideas and inevitably lifestyles, I couldn’t JUST talk about music. I’m part of a generation who hardly cared, the Gen Y, the 2k tykes who are at the prime of their existence today but have been sucked into the vortex of information, entertainment and hedonism. There’s nothing wrong with any of that but what I keep asking ‘em mindless lot: (rephrased) do they always go wherever the wave took them without looking up and noticing they were driving to a waterfall? Thoughtless conformity! Without the slightest offering of skepticism or discernment of its quality!

Enough of this Deep Talk, and hello world.

Welcome to the “NEW AND IMPROVED SOUTHISMS!” Don’t you just love Music? I love it so much. What about movies? TV? Radio? Photography? I love ‘em too. Can’t decide what to write with all those things in mind. So here it is. Like it? The whole point of this blog is to grab you by the nuts and show you the fascinating things happening around the Southern region. Wait, there’s more: you get to think twice about it. Show me some feisty opinion as expected from yours truly. I hear someone belt, “Secret, secret? I got a secret!”

More… I say Domo Aregato Mr. Roboto – if you didn’t get my very tacky Styx song reference there, let me remind you that there’s a whole a new world at the tip of your fingers via the internet, particularly blogs authored by young minds like myself. (I was always used to being the youngest in a peer group but then I grew up and started to think I could be young on my own.) I want to celebrate the youth of this blog by celebrating its maturity. What started out as a music blog is now turning its attention to other tangible information and entertainment resources. If you can look at the world and its people by analysing its music, what more if you could examine (especially) Mindanao from the perspective of all its media exposures. Such is the new concept of this revitalized blog: hip, current, versatile, multicultural and conscious. Watch this precious, precious space in the interweb. P.S. If you click the featured video, that’s actually me talking. And also telling you about evil plans of making a video podcast called “Durian Volleyball”. Hurrah!
