<-- eto and larawan at eto ang kwento --> It started when I watched Mamma Mia! the Movie last weekend and surprisingly I liked it. I was never a fan of Abba. Yes, I know some songs of Abba like "Dancing Queen", who wouldn't know this song? During my SGV days (that was many years ago, my many is still single digit ok?) when there's a party you can bet your pwet (bum) this song will be in their repertoire. Another song I know before I got interested with Abba songs is "Winner Takes It All". As far as I can remember when I was still a kid (maybe around 8-12 years old) there is no year that I didn't hear this song during our Barrio Fiesta's singing contest. Those yearly singing contest is special to me - that's the only time I can watch my ex-girlfriend without being teased by my barkada (close friends). Sayang I don't have any pictures of those events. Just imagine ex-girlfriend standing at the top of the Isuzu Elf tray with fly board with decors as background and with beer cases stack up together serving as steps to the Elf's tray, singing??? ano na nga title nung song na yun??? Anyway back to Abba, I was at first very sceptical about watching the movie but it was a really nice movie. From first song to the last song it was amazing. I really never thought that I will have a good time hearing the songs of Abba. And it's quite amazing that they were able to create a Musical/Movie based purely on Abba's songs. I would love to watch the stage musical but unfortunately it's not anymore showing here in Melbourne. Lucky for those who are in New York, I believe it's still showing in Broadway. I love the songs they've included in the movie from "Honey, Honey" to "Thank you for the Music". 1 song that touches me is "Slipping Through My Fingers" sang by Meryl Streep, I almost cried buti na lang napigilan ko. Meryl Streep really did a great job singing "Winner Takes It All", that song is full of emotion! That is the first time I appreciate that song (that Signing Contest did not give justice to that song). I bet my pwet if you watch the movie you'll come out of the theater smiling and singing "Take a Chance on Me" (naaliw ako sa second voice - take a chance, take a chance, take a chaka-chance-chance).After the movie I go straight to Borders to buy the Original Sound Track. And after that I bought a DVD and another CD
