“Inside the saloon, a band of plump, middle-aged gentlemen in Stetson hats and leather jackets crooned about an Ibaloi girl from Bahong. Like the roses of Bahong Ambrosial and winsome If they uproot it and bring it to Manila They will kill it They sang in mellow, baritone voices.” SongMusicCowboyFilipinoManilaFilipino AuthorsCountry Music Book:Karinderya Love Songs Source: Karinderya Love Songs
“I tried running roads, hung out with road runners. But it's not for me. Being on the road means people will see you, so your outfit matters and you can't blow your nose and wipe it with your hands and brush your hands on the pavement. It's like going to the gym. Sweat, odor, athleisure fashion, being self-conscious—none of those matter in the mountains. You'd slam your shoes across rivers and slap your ass on muddy trails and swing your dick out while running. Pee on the run because stopping to pee takes too much time. You don't bother with trivial matters. Instead, you thank the universe you didn't fall off that cliff or your knees didn't collapse or you finished the race with only calluses, maybe a cut here and there, sore and stiff muscles, but alive and without broken bones. You're in the moment. It's more fun that way.” RunningLife LessonsAdventureFilipinoJoggingAppearancesFilipino AuthorsTrail Running Book:Karinderya Love Songs Source: Karinderya Love Songs
