Yey! It's Graduation Month!
We are dedicating all the March blogs to the graduates of 2013 who still believe that education is the key to success (I thank you *tsunami walk while waving to the audience). Kudos to the parents and guardians as well because they are also graduating from spending (slow clap).
Our list for this week is from one of the Philippines' greatest cartoonists:

| National Artist in the making. |
I actually sent a message to a few people requesting for their Mumomoment Hits and Lyndon was the first to reply (thanks to blastbm.multiply.com for the picture I just grabbed in Google).
I am a comic book fan since I was a kid and I thank my ex-boyfriend for introducing Beerkada to me. I am a very frustrated artist and I really envy people like Lyndon who were given the talent to just sit there, think of fun and pun, and ink it. How amazing, right?
It seems that comic art is kind of a "dead" industry in our country but thanks to a lot of otakus whose passion inspire a lot of our artists. Hello? We're like super talented! Like I'm talking about globally-demanded talent. Duh?
Back to the list before I make gigil pa. The list contains songs Filipino videoke addicts love singing kesehodang hindi nila abot ang tono at hatinggabi na. Put ya hands up in the air yo! We are all guilty about it, most especially with call center friends who love "team buildings" (Team Building = One Team + Booze + Videoke!). Ang saya saya!
So to all the addicts, here is our:
BEERKADA VUMIVIDEOKE HITS!
MUMOMOMENT HIT# 3 TAKE ON ME by a-ha
A-Ha was a Norwegian pop band formed when I was born (very youthful). The band was considered a one-hit wonder because of this song.
FAVE LINES: Oh the things that you say | Is it life or just a play | My worries away | You're all the things I've got to remember
a-ha FACTS: The three members of the band were appointed Knights of the 1st Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav for their contribution to Norwegian music. The Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav is granted as a reward for distinguished services to their country and mankind.
Their final concert entitled Ending On A High Note was a tour in Europe, USA, Canada, South America, Japan and Russia. The last shows were in Oslo.
MUMOMOMENT HIT# 2 THROUGH THE FIRE by CHAKA KHAN
The artist's name is actually a gay word for a not-so-pretty person/ situation but given Chaka's talent, she is more than gorgeous.
FAVE LINES: You touch me and something in me knew | What I could have with you | Now I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
CHAKA KHAN FACTS: Chaka Khan is considered to be the Queen of Funk-Soul. Her real name is Yvette Marie Stevens.
The ten-time Grammy Award winning American singer- songwriter is a vegan, saying she adopted the diet to lose weight and combat high blood pressure and Type-2 diabetes. In the past, Chaka struggled with drug abuse and alcoholism. Her drug use, which at times included cocaine and heroin, ended sometime in the early 90s. She would have an on-and-off combat with alcoholism until 2005 when she declared herself sober.

MUMOMOMENT HIT# 1 ALONE by HEART
The ultimate videoke song of all videoke songs - Alone. Wuhoo! This is every bitter woman's theme song on every inuman session. Lupet.
FAVE LINES: But the secret is still my own | And my love for you is still unknown | Alone
HEART FACTS: Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson are hailed the first ladies of Classic Rock by the Rolling Stone.
Ana on making music in the 80s: In the 1980s [making music] became uncomfortable. Music became less understandable in the wake of the new MTV era. You weren't supposed to be anything other than a pop star, to not go deeper than that. It was really strange. It was suffocating, image-wise. What you could talk about in a song changed; if you were misunderstood, you were really misunderstood -- taken literally. That's why Nancy and I felt so stifled, yet that's our biggest commercial success. But that's the way sh*t goes when you sell millions of records but you're dying inside.
Thank you to Lyndon for being down to earth and reaching out to fans like me. Follow the adventures of the Beerkada on their website: www.beerkada.net, like their page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beerkadacomics and please buy the comic books for crying out loud. Ganbatte!!!
