Finding Moymoy





Maybe because I am such a fun loving person, I always try to search and watch funny videos over YouTube. But unlike other people who are so adept in looking for the videos that they wanted, I can’t seem to find the ones that would really make me laugh boisterously. I can’t seem to use the right keywords to search for.


Last week though, on my first ever conversation with my high school buddy, Ecel, in the last five months, she mentioned about a funny video over YouTube. She told me to search the word WANNABE and look for the video that was made by ‘Moymoypalaboy.’ She said that the video made her laugh until she dropped. Quoting her verbatim, “kaybaw ko buddy mobuhakhak jud ka ato (I know you would certainly laugh at it too.)”


The following day, I searched the video and waited for it to load. I tried to be patient with the very slow broadband connection by Globelines but I simply could not so I just left it while it was loading and went to the dining table to eat my dinner. Finally, when I came back, the video is ready to play.


It was a very simple video, no cuts, no effects. Its background was a kitchen and the refrigerator was the most dominant thing you can see in the background. There were only two people sitting in front of the camera and they were taking turns lip synching the song Wanna Be by Spice Girls while making funny facial expressions.


Buddy was right. It did make me laugh! It was so funny that I played the video over and over again. The two guys in the video, probably in their early twenties, were so good in lip synching that you would actually think that they are the song’s true singers. Plus, they have made such a nice and funny choreography, which I eventually followed. It was just so hilarious! I could only imagine if my friends and I would sing Wanna Be in our videoke sessions (which we always do) and dance in the same way Moymoypalaboy and his partner did. I would really laugh at myself if that happens. Haha!


Entertained to a great extent, I browsed on and watched the other videos made by Moymoypalaboy. I found out that he has uploaded twenty-three videos so far (and counting) with each video viewed almost 600,000 times. Just like the Wanna Be video, the others were also very simple. The background was still the kitchen, they were still lip synching while making funny faces with matching choreography, and it was still the two of them, Moymoypalaboy (whoever he was among the two) and his partner. And yes, the other videos were also very hilarious!


A new video caught my attention though. It was entitled “Low by Flo Rida feat. T-Pain” and there was a description coming from Moymoypalaboy himself that says ‘due to insistent public demand, we bring you Low.’ So excited about what these two boys did in this video, I became more patient this time in waiting for the video to load. I knew that this would be another funny video and I wasn’t wrong.


Unlike the others, the video was no longer set in the kitchen and it was a little bit fancy. It was a full length video shot on different locations. Scenes were shot at the beach, on the streets, at the Hyatt Hotel, at a bathroom, at a living room and who knows where else, with the special participation of the guards at the Hyatt and some of their friends. The scenes were well thought of and the humor is just too much. If Wanna Be and the other videos are funny, this video is the funniest.


I am really amazed with the effort that they have put on this video. I am having an impression that Moymoypalaboy has conceptualize and thought of this video before they even shot the scenes. And being an amateur video editor myself, I know how hard and how tiresome it is to make a video like that. I have nothing to say but commendations for the brilliance of Moymoypalaboy and his friends. They’ve made a job very well done and I’m looking forward to any more of their future videos.


Posted above is the Low video I’m talking about. If you want to watch more of Moymoypalaboy, just search his name at YouTube.

A Letter to Elisha Joelle Samarah

My Dearest Elisha, I promised myself that I would write about this day since the very first time I saw your cute tiny face at the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital where I delivered you. I told myself that I would chronicle the events so you would understand how great God is in your life and how you have come to be a miracle in your father and I's lives. However, I cannot tell you everything now for the story of how you came to be is too long for you to understand at the moment and too difficult for me to explain in writing. But, I'm going to try nonetheless, soon, little by little, and hopefully, the chronicles would be complete when you are old enough to comprehend. For now, let me just remember the sweetest yet the most difficult day of my life.  Your father and I did not expect you to come at that point in our lives. I, especially, wanted to achieve a lot of things and did not even think about settling down anytime soon. When I found out that I was pre...

Romans 1 is Genesis 3 Explained

Hello again! This blog became dormant again and now it’s going to have a reboot. I know that the last time this blog had a reboot way back two years ago I promised to write more often. Sorry guys, I wasn’t able to follow through with this promise due to busyness and just simply the distractions of life. This time I’m not going to promise anymore but what I’m going to do for sure is to try to write more often. Though I know, the entries would only come if and only if I cannot fight the urge to write. So here you go, I’m writing again. For those who visited this blog for the very first time, let me tell you that this actually started back when I was still in college. Back then, it was a very personal space and the things that were shared here were very personal things. So, if you try to go through the archive, you might find some things that are quite immature and some thoughts that I may or may not necessarily believe right at this moment. This was the very reason why I decide...

Dead to Sin

I have a confession to make. I sin.  That's hardly a surprise actually. All of us sin. However, the degree upon which we feel the shame and the guilt of sin vary from one person to another. Others feel a guilt so terrible that they condemn themselves while others feel sorry for what they have done but are able to shrug it off at the next moment. Probably for the most of us, we don't even realize that we have sinned.  I have learned nonetheless that there are some sins that you can easily avoid while there are others that make you struggle so hard you almost always want to give up. The sins that can be seen externally most often are the ones that are easy to overcome. But the sins that lurk in your heart -- the ones that other people wouldn't even know that you have (and most often than not you don't even know you have) -- are the ones that would make you think twice about your character. Then, one day, a thing or a person or a circumstance, causes that sin hi...
