Heard of.... Discovery Channel's new jingle?

Hello everyone, Nicole here! Long time no write! What have we been up to? Well, the bums have found a new random occupation in addition to our repertoire of randomness. We are now professional GROUPIES - minus the sleeping with the band... for now *snicker*  We've been following the bands Strawless Friday and Flying Ipis! phew! Who knew being a groupie could be such hard work? We show up in EVERY gig, cheer, hold their wallets, keep their petroleum jelly, wipe sweat off their foreheads (WHAT?!)

Earlier this day Ming Ming (Mae Ann's new nickname, baptized by Deng Garcia of flying ipis) played with Strawless Friday! She played the ukulele and sang for them for the Philippine version of the Discovery Channel jingle. So I guess she got promoted while I remain a groupie *sigh* Psshhhh here's Ming Ming, she'll tell you all about it.

Hey guys! So apparently this is what happens when you hang out with rockstars a little too much. They drag you into their musical pursuits! But wait! sidenote: How awesome is it that our lovely friend Show Suzuki wrote the new Discovery Channel jingle? The Busy Bums are extremely proud of him. EXTREMELY PROUD. *cries tears of joy* So anyway, Show found out that I kinda sorta-ish play the ukulele and he asked me to play with him for the press release! I fell in love with the song when I first heard it so I was so happy! :D Plus, if you know me, you'll know that me singing is completely random. I don't sing in front of the world (or anyone actually). HAHAHA

At the press release, Discovery Channel also released the new TVC featuring Filipino personalities such as Efren Penaflorida, Paolo Soler and the Philippine Dragon Boat Team. In collaboration with The Discovery Channel, Regatta unveiled their new The World Is Awesome T-shirt collection. Anywho, watch out for the hourly telecast of the video in Discovery Channel, this month or the next? But for those itching to be one of the firsts to hear it and be in the know, here's a draft of the jingle! Enjoy!

Business World Feature!!!

Soooooo it's pretty exciting to see your picture in a newspaper article!!! You think about it once in a while when you pretend to be a super cool rock star with magazine covers and newspaper features, but when it's actually there, the feeling is surreal! We wanna thank Gianna Villavicencio for taking an interest in us! Hopefully when we open our "everything green tea cafe" you'll be there too *wink wink* haha

So how did this all happen? Well, I was bumming around when Mae came knocking on my door asking me if I got a message from  a person (Gianna Villavicencio) stating her intentions of featuring us in one of Business World's September issue. Waaaahhh so I instantly turned my laptop on then lo and behold her message was there. I was a little skeptical at first, we didn't know if it was a prank or not. We even googled Business World (we obviously don't read the papers!!! HAHA) and saw that it was all legit! The interview happened online, she sent us questions and we answered them as best as we could. They asked for pictures and since we were still in a state of giddiness we arranged a photo shoot with one of the best: EAN DACAY (thanks for being so accomodating Ean! Even on such short notice) check out the article guys! It's out now, you can buy the newspaper in National Bookstore I dunno where else you can buy it to tell you the truth :s


Anyway, these succeeding months has been swell for "everything green tea" and that's all because of the supportive people out there! Thanks to Adrian Adriano for believing in us (Moonleaf Owner). To our new found friend GiannaVillavicencio for the great article. And of course our lovely models: Ariel Diccion, Nicki Judalena, Jed Dompor and Show Suzuki and our photographers: Angelico Veloso and Ean Dacay. They were fine with cupcakes as payments for their faces and talents (We will give you your cupcakes tomorrow guys!!! September 7, Wednesday haha)



Lots of love to everyone!

The Busy Bums <3
