Dancing In My Tsinelas: A happy playlist for VP Leni
I am tired of being angry.
We all have reasons to be angry, but being angry just makes us angrier, and then the loudest and angriest wins. All that energy expended on nothing, just making everyone feel ill and look worn-out.
Today we woke up to the kind of news that makes us angry. I support #ProtectVPLeni and #LabanLeni, but I’m thinking that we could also try a different approach—one that is less likely to cause yelling.
A different approach, like Cheer. Like believing that good defeats evil. Like laughing in the face of despair. Like insisting on hope. Like dancing on the grave of injustice. (To those of us who are not perky sunshine people, it’s positively revolutionary.)
Nothing promotes happiness like music. So Juan, Ricky and I got together and made a list of happy songs off the tops of our heads.
Here is the first Dancing In My Tsinelas — a happy playlist for VP Leni. Because there’s a lot of work to be done, and how can you work if you feel like the nails are being driven into your coffin? Cheer up!
Don’t just listen to the playlist, make your own and send it to us! (Note: We need Filipino songs!)

I love, love, love movies about telekinesis: Carrie, The Fury, The Medusa Touch, and Scanners. I wish I had that power.

This Dong Abay beat might make you want to get up and dance like you don’t give a damn about the world but will also make you optimistic with its life-affirming lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_bvCB2dXcc (it’s not on Spotify)
Okay rin yung Flipino album niya (on Spotify) pero maraming nakakalungkot na kanta doon, my kind of songs but not for Dancing in my Tsinelas playlist. :)
