Sorry for the very late Mumomoment blog. My dear old lappy is nowhere in sight and the only dear computer I borrowed from my youngest sister crashed. So much pain.
Speaking of pain, our list today is from a lady who, I think, loves pain. Why?

| I has tattoo. I rocks. |
She loves tattoos. (DISCLAIMER: I don't own the following photos. This is to promote AppleHead Tattoo and GOOD HAND Tattoo, the shops you can trust. Hehehe!)
World, this is my friend, Valerie Ann Tolentino.

| This is Val's left arm, obviously. This is in memory of her sister, Flora. Click this to understand. |
Tattoos have played a huge role in our culture and only a few people appreciate these ancient marks. Well, I won't be arguing with you if you don't like them. I just wanna show off Val's tattoos. :D
Okay, enough digression. Already. Here's Val's top five songs that are tattooed on her mind.
Originally sung by The Cure, Love Song is, well, a love song. :) You don't really need to expound something really obvious, do you?
FAVE LINES: Whenever I'm alone with you | You make me feel like I am home again | Whenever I'm alone with you | You make me feel like I am whole again.
311 FACTS: The band was formed in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum,
lead guitarist Jim Watson (who would later be replaced by Tim Mahoney),
bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills and drummer Chad Sexton. In 1992, Doug "SA"
Martinez joined to sing and provide turntables for 311's later albums,
rounding out the current line-up.
On March 11, 2000, 311 began celebrating an unofficial holiday of their own creation, which they called 311 Day. The band chose the date based on its numerical association with their
own name: March is the third month of the year, so March 11 is written
as 3/11. Every other year on March 11, the band performs an extended
concert for thousands of their fans.
MUMOMOMENT HIT #4 INSIDE THE MIND OF A KILLER by URBANDUB featuring SINOSIKAT
Val and I love Gab Alipe. Like SUPER! Oh yeah, best wishes to Lalay!
I was given the chance to work with this band during Nokia's Independent Artists' Club featuring talented indie bands and promoting the ExpressMusic phone a few years back. They are really amazing and down-to-earth. And Gab is super cute! I sound very high school! Ahahay!
FAVE LINES: My heart can't take it | Cuz you keep breaking it | I let my guard down for you | Just give me one more try | Give me one more try | Give me one more chance to make things right
URBANDUB FACTS: Urbandub is a Filipino rock band from Cebu City, Philippines. Since its inception in 2000, the band's line-up has consisted of Gabby Alipe (vocals, guitar), John Dinopol (guitar, vocals), and Lalay Lim (bass, vocals). The band's current drummer is Janjan Mendoza, who has been with the band since 2003.
Urbandub is the first indie band who has released albums nationwide thru EMI’s help. EMI also featured Urbandub in a Pinoy rock compilation entitled FULL VOLUME with a remake of Sade’s No Ordinary Love. The band recently garnered the attention of fans throughout Southeast Asia with a recent tour in Singapore.
MUMOMOMENT HIT #3 PRODIGAL by SALAMIN
Paolo Valenciano is famous not because he is Gary V's son. Taking a different path, this Valenciano is a great addition and addiction to Pinoy Rock Music. Genius!
The video is awesome. The song is powerful. Jericho is handsome! LOL
FAVE LINES: I watch the late night's stip rip through you | You're cut up; I know you too well | You try your best to be somebody else | You forget that you can't hide | No, no you can't hide
SALAMIN FACTS: Salamin is so indie they don't even have a Wiki entry. Well, for now. With the band's overflowing talent, a fan would definitely be geeky one of these days...

MUMOMOMENT HIT #2 SEXTAPE by DEFTONES
Well, this is not what you expect it to be. No Katrina. No Paris. I'm sorry to disappoint you. :P
FAVE LINES: The ocean takes me into watch you shaking | Watch you weigh your powers | Tempt with hours of pleasure | Take me one more time | Take me one more wave
DEFTONES FACTS: Well, you may just read the not-so-updated site www.deftonesworld.com or just click that Deftones link and it will lead you to their Facebook page for gigs. Much love, Chi!
This is one of the first Mumomoment videos we've featured (Click this> Hit Number 8). Special thanks to Michael Marlon Apuan for the jazzy influence. :)
FAVE LINES: It might not be the right time | I
might not be the right one | But there's something about us | I want to
say | 'Cause there's something between us anyway
