TRIBUTE TO PAUL WALKER FROM THE HIGH RANGE BELTER

Have you guys heard the new cover from our very own Johann Mendoza? 

"it's been a long day without you my friend,

and I'll tell you about it when I see you again

we've come a long way from were we began

oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again"

The Fast & the Furious movie and Paul Walker fans will definitely love his new cover entitled "see you again" which was originally sung by the American rapper Wiz Khalifa. 

The song was indeed great and it really deserves the international success that it has been receiving since it was used as a tribute to Paul Walker. 

Moreover, Johann Mendoza, was able to give justice and pull this off and I must say, this guy, really has a lot to offer, and this high range belter is definitely a jack of all trades when it comes to music.

 

In my opinion, this version had offered a lot more feelings, emotion and empathy and the lyrics is much more believable but the original song was equally great, though this version's rap part is somehow different with the original, I just love how it was delivered. That is how it is, and it was just "wow" and amazing!

Again, for the nth time, I was amazed on how this song was sung by Johann. It was just the right mix of harmony and music. Not too much and definitely not too little on how it is supposed to be, based on how it was originally sung.

Take it from me, he nailed it. I'm very confident and 101% sure that this was one of the best covers of the said song. I just knew, music is not new to me because I also had a background when it comes to notes, rhythm and harmony .

In addition, Johann was able to sing the song uniquely and quintessentially. He just knows how to offer a rhythm that the listeners will definitely love. 

Well, with this version of "see you again" song plus a great voice by Johann Mendoza. No doubt that it will surely move a lot of hearts. 

 This guy definitely has a power to make people come over and hear him sing.

It seems like his voice perfectly matches all sorts of music available in the industry, and I'm basically looking forward for another heartfelt original song from him. 

Lastly, Johann Mendoza will be having his concert.

EXPLORING LA UNION

I spent my summer vacation in La Union and I wanted to explore more of what the province has to offer, and not to mention I prefer arranging legal documents in La Union rather than in Manila because they are more organized and less hassle.

Anyway, let me introduce to you some of the giddy good places that I explored in the province where I was born. 

Our house was situated near a beach and there are a lot of motor boats around, that offers a ride throughout the islands. unfortunately, I wasn't able to try it with the given time. It is very relaxing to walk by the seashore, and collect shells.

And somewhere in Poro Point La Union, I was able to take a snapshot of an old jeepney? I am really not sure if it's a jeepney or a bus, but the shot basically looks stunning right?

and when you go further along Bauang, La Union, you'll be able to find  Seabay resort and enjoy this kind of view. 

Despite of the summer crowd luckily, I was still able to capture the sunset.

Moving over to Bacnotan, La Union, here we could find a floating restaurant along the Baroro River. Pretty much amazing that they serve the most fresh of fresh seafoods and the experience of eating while floating along the river is really awesome. 

The owner of the restaurant, also has a pond in here..

and I am really much amazed with this number of fishes swimming together. 

I wonder if they were also the same fishes being served for lunch.

After waiting for the restaurant's staff to be able to catch some fish, here it goes..

This is basically what we ate for lunch.

And, I actually had my new favorite viand. The people in La Union call it "campiz" 

And when it comes to dessert and cold choices... well, the search is over. La Union also has a restaurant wherein they offer the best halo halo. 

Halo Halo de Iloko became one of the popular attractions of the town. The restaurant is not that big but they were able to accommodate clients/customers and tourists and managed to keep them coming back because of their one of a kind halo halo. 

Enough of the foods and more of the places in La Union.

I'm one of those who were fond of catching sunsets, yeah! catching sunsets! And La Union is one of the perfect places to watch the sunset.

I was just right in time when I was able to reach Casai. well, they call it Casai and I have no idea what does it mean. The ambiance here is so "wow" and as you can see, there were no other people at the shore, it was definitely the perfect time to think and gather thoughts.

or I must say "the perfect soul-searching place"

by the way, I just wanted to give idea for those who were looking for a good place to shoot, may it be for a birthday, prenuptial or marketing event. This could also be an ideal choice.

and talking about the almost perfect sunset, well, I hope this counts. 

And if you want to experience Santorini, La Union is definitely one of the best places.

Thunderbird is a Santorini inspired resort situated along Poro Point, La Union. In addition, the people here were accommodating and friendly. 

So, I have in here another catching sunset moment and I just love the view and everything blue!

Let's take a closer look of the setting sun under the Santorini ambiance

In lieu with my  La Union vacation is our bonding activity every afternoon, target shooting session with my cousins. My firing sessions is definitely not bad. I'm good at shooting targets. 

and this is our latest hang out place. 

Well, my target shooting session in La Union basically looks like this:

We have in here, 3 main target boards made up of 3 centers, we also have in here another target stand made up of metal with 7 target centers. Quite challenging right?!

And look what I got in here,

yeah! not good enough but not that bad right?

Another emerging tourist spot in La Union is the Bahay na Bato situated at Luna.

this is how it goes on our way to Luna, La Union

and Luna is definitely one of the best places to visit if you want a glimpse of fresh air.

Moreover, I wont let the day end without having the almost perfect sunset shot

and here goes the "i felt the earth move under my feet" shot from Luna

Another place, where I practice my driving skills is somewhere near Poro Point and Wallas, they were quite strict in terms of security but the place is very amusing and serene. And by the way, I just love how the light house looks like during sunsets. 

well, that's for now guys! i'll definitely update this blog for more La Union explorations next vacation. You might as well want to try the above mentioned places. 

By the way, La Union is famous for being a surfing spot in the Philippines, and I haven't tried it yet. I will, maybe next vacation but you might want to try it first somewhere in San Juan, La Union wherein there is a long stretch of resorts that offer surfing in cheap prices. 

THREE IN ONE PACKAGE FOR BANG BANG

B to the A to the N to the G to the uh

B to the A to the N to the G to the hey

So have you guys ever imagined how will it turn out if bang bang is performed by male artists? 

Oh well, these three were not just singers, they were definitely someone to look up to when it comes to music. 

Forget about Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande for the mean time and make way for the high range belter, Johann Mendoza, RNB Hearthrob, Daryl Ong and King of the Jingle, Daryl "Drey" Reyes.

Undeniably, they nailed the song right?

Anyway, Johann's high range voice  is still amazing and of course Daryl Ong's way of capturing listeners is just "wow", Lastly, who wouldn't be amazed with the one and only king of the jingle Drey Reyes and his rapping skills. 

I'm one of those who waits for a lot more covers, original music and compositions, and collaborations from these three.

and lastly, who wouldn't be amazed with Daryl Reyes. I'm pretty sure that you won't end up your day without hearing his voice over the radios and televisions. He sung most of the jingles that is usually being played everyday and everywhere, from emperador light to nescafe and fres. 

Honestly, his emperador light jingle was used as an alarm clock at our room  and you'll definitely be full of energy 24/7 because of his voice. 

"Gawin mong light ang buhay ngayon" 

anyway, I was also one of the persons who really miss  Daryl "Drey" Reyes performing live.

I really had fun listening to their version of Bang Bang, hope you guys had fun too!

Cheers to more projects, albums and concerts for these three!
