https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/vspelcvm I hadn't been playing my guitar regularly for quite some time. However, yesterday, as I was trying to avoid doing household chores, I ended up spending most of my morning playing music on my guitar. My fingers started to get sore again as the calluses I had developed before from consistent playing had disappeared. It's like going back to the beginner pha...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/rkrgplcp As the summer holidays of 2023 begin, the road trip began too. I've put a lot of effort into my career over the past few years, so I feel like it's essential to take a break from it to travel, relax, and simply breathe. And yes, as they say, we are on honeymoon considering the fact that my hub and I haven't seen each other in almost four years because of...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/etncnuoi “Hokey Pokey, please!”, most of our kids always would request when we do our lunch club at work. Lunch Club is a time wherein some of our special needs children who aren't quite ready to interact with their peers during playtime gather. Some of them find being in a large group overwhelming, and some are still learning how to "behave appropriately," there...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/tpjynnhu Many nations celebrate their independence from colonial powers. One of those countries that achieved independence from Spain after four centuries of colonial domination is my home sweet home, the Philippines, which we celebrate 12th of June every year. We Filipinos recall and celebrate the nation's arduous struggle for freedom. We support our nation's in...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/yfjtvizf I recently came across the cover of "Don't Dream It's Over" by Miley Cyrus and Arianna Grande on Tiktok, and I thought I'd give it a shot. I also find it fitting for this week's Hive Open Mic theme of "Never Give Up," and it brought back memories of listening to my uncle, my dad's brother, blasting New Wave Hits way back. I, myself then somehow grew to l...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/yuvrxvvb As I watched the Netflix series "Beef," I grew to love this song by Keane, "Somewhere Only We Know," even more. It was played at the end of Episode 8 during that moment wherein one of the main characters, Danny, was finally able to keep his promise to his parents to bring them back to America. When I looked it up I did not realize it’s a 2004 hit as I th...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/quveyjyo Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby Mc Ferrin is a classic song that I am sure most of us are very much familiar with. If I'm not mistaken, the song's distinctive whistle and hum seem to be recognized by everyone. Do you not? It’s straightforward yet very powerful. The song's lyrics bring up relevant ideas like how everyone faces difficulties at some point, e...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/oqalehkq “YOU OKAY?” Almost every day, especially at work, I come across this question, and my response, of course, depends on who is asking. If it's a close friend/colleague, I either shrug my shoulders, roll my eyes, or don't say anything at all. If they're lucky, I'll offer them my biggest and sweetest smile. Naturally, if it comes from the bosses, the respons...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/yupdosyb Brotherhood immediately comes to mind when the word "Fraternity" is brought up. Brings back memories of my school days, when my friends and I always stuck together, watched out for one another, and didn't want to be apart because we wanted to support and be with each other all the time. Back then, friendship was valued highly, and just going down memory...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/isyirlaj ‘I’ll be there for You’ by The Rembrandts is an iconic theme song from Friends. Friends and this song are inseparable, thus it's impossible to discuss Friends without bringing it up. At least in my case. A rather catchy, straightforward song that I've always liked and didn't skip when it plays at the beginning of the show. As a matter of fact, I would tu...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/umhybgmq ***LET’S DEFEAT THE DISTANCE*** Romantic relationships especially ones in LDRs (Long Distance Relationships) came first to mind when I saw the theme this week. Being in one at the moment I decided not to go through that context as I might well up. Kidding. LOL Then a request for a cover of Gabrielle’s Rise came from @celticheartbeat. I remembered how lov...

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=chichi18/fnogkixf Aha! My voice has finally found its way back, not fully recovered yet, but I am getting there. And since I saw a viral song last night from Tiktok I thought why not give it a go sharing at Hive Open Mic as I find it fitting for this week's theme, ‘Al Dios Que Adoramos’. The song is not finalized and official yet and is entitled 'Take Me to the River, I w...
