I can’t believe Rome is leaving P&G. But she’s doing it to go back home and be with her daughter, so it’s a good call. April asked me to record a video for her and I did one better: a karaoke of a “personalized song” for her, since she and I were the lyricist partners before. I used the song “Buloy” and changed the lyrics to suit her. The different names I call her throughout the song are the different names her contacts have called her. I titled it “Ano Nga Ba Ulet Ang Pangalan Mo?” because that is Rome’s favorite expression. The background of the karaoke are pictures of all her moments in P&G.
I used iMovie to make it and it took me most of an entire afternoon just to finish it, but it was all worth it, because right after Rome saw it in her despedida tonight, she YM’ed to thanks me, saying that she wanted to cry.
Hoy hoy, Romi
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nong tayo’y nagsasama?
Hoy hoy, Rosa
Naaalala mo pa ba
Ang iyong mga sinabi nung POT ko’y mababa ?
Sabi mo, “lahat ng problema’y kayang lampasan,
Basta’t tayo’y magkasama, at nag-pipicturan!”
Hoy hoy, Roma
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung nagdouble payment tayo kasi tatanga-tanga (TANGA!)
Hoy hoy, Pepita
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung ako’y napagalitan ng contact ko from Korea?
Mangiyak-ngiyak na’ko pero sabi mo ay “Okay lang yan!
Basta’t tayo’y nagsasama, at nag-kakantahan!”
Kaya naman ako bilib sa iyo
Kasi parang napakacool mo.
Lahat ng problema ay kaya mong tawanan
Basta’t mayroong kabarkada at may Thom Sumagang!

Hoy hoy, Rolie
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung araw na nagbabye ako from P&G?
Hoy hoy, Rosie
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung ika’y yumakap sa’kin at tayo’y umiiyak…
Tapos pagkatapos no’n, kay tagal kong nawala.
Nagulat na lang ako nung narinig ko ang balita.
Akala ko pa naman na forever dyan ka na,
Nalaman ko na lang na ikaw pala’y nagresign na…
Hoy Mommy
Nasaan ka man, siguradong happy ka, dahil ang anak mo’y andyan
Hoy Osang
Nasaan ka man, siguradong hindi ka namin malilimutan
Hoy Roma Rosa Pepita
Hoy Romilie Rosalie Ronalie
Hoy hoy, Mylene
Wag ever malimutan ang iyong mga sinabi nong ika’y nasa P&G pa
