Nothing much has changed since my reportage yesterday of the Iran, Ukraine and Gaza Strip Wars, the uncontrolled wildfire in British Columbia and weather.
To continue our Azamara Journey cruise, I last stopped after lunch on Day 1. The good news is that all is well on this ship. Dinner was okay, late night dancing fine and I had a terrific night of great sleep.
Dinner was at the Windows Cafe buffet, and we coincidentally sat at the same table as lunch. A whole section of sushi, with a Heineken and chardonnay.
The time was around 11PM, and the only place open was the Living Room for late night dancing. Shore Thing, a band from the Philippines played loud and fine. Like the music. Did some dancing.
Chatted with their leader, and he promised to play Anak tomorrow night. I featured this song in one of my postings a few years ago:
My song #4 is Freddie Aguilar's Anak. Aguilar was studying to be an electrical engineer when he left home at the age of 18 to pursue an entertainment career. After five years of gambling and travails, in 1978 he wrote his first song, Anak (a more recent version) in remorse and apology to his parents. It is the best selling Filipino song in history and reached #1 in Japan. Billboard reported that the song was the #2 hit for the world in the 1980's.
In 2013, when he was 60, his third wife was 16 year old Jovie Gatdula Albao. He passed away last year at the age of 72.
