Tungod tingali kay tiguwang na ko, wa sab koy sapi ug panahon para sa mga bag-ong salida sa sine ug labaw sa tanan di ko maka identify sa car and bling-bling culture, wala ako ma-fan sa The Fast and The Furious series. Nakakita kos unang salida pero wala na lang ko manumbaling sa mga sequel.
Sa Manila gihimo ang world premiere sa pinakabag-ong installment sa maong serye. Tungod tingali ning ilang exposure sa Pilipinas nasakitan sila (cast, crew, producers) sa nahitabo nato pag agi ni Yolanda. Mao nga mipagawas silag video sa YouTube nga miawhag sa ilang fans pagdonar og hinabang sa Pilipinas. Ang lead actor nga si Paul Walker maoy nahimong tigpamaba sa maong pag-awhag.
Pasahero si Walker sa usa ka Porsche nga gimaneho sa iyang higala ug padung unta sila sa usa ka charity event sa Reach Out World, usa ka organisasyon ni Walker nga motabang sa mga biktima sa mga katalagman sama sa bagyong Yolanda. Nabangga sa kahoy ang maong sakyanan, nalagpot paingon sa usa ka poste og nasunog. Wa kalingkawas si Walker ug ang iyang kauban.
Ang laing batan-ong mipanaw sa miaging semana mao ang akong higala nga si James Cañete. Fashion designer ang tumong ni James. Dihang gimahalan ra siya sa gasto sa paghimog daghang sinina, iyang gi-realign iyang career ug nahimo siyang make-up artist, photographer, graphic artist ug fashion stylist. Tungod sa iyang gaan nga personalidad, daghan ang malipay nga makigkuyog niya sa trabaho. Wala pay taho kun unsa gyong sakita ang mikuha ni James apan nasubo ang tanan niyang higala.
Ania ang kanta nga Fast Car ni Tracy Chapman para ning duha ka aktibong mga binuhat nga sayo gibawiag kinabuhi.
You got a fast car/I want a ticket to anywhere/Maybe we make a deal/Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better/Starting from zero got nothing to lose/Maybe we’ll make something/But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car/And I got a plan to get us out of here/been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won’t have to drive too far/Just across the border and into the city/You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man’s got a problem/He lives with the bottle that’s the way it is/He says his body’s too old for working/I say his body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him/She wanted more from life than he could give/I said somebody’s got to take care of him/So I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a fast car/But is it fast enough so we can fly away?/We gotta make a decision/We leave tonight or live and die this way
(CHORUS) See I remember we were driving, driving in your car/The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk/City lights lay out before us/And your arm felt nice wrapped ‘round my shoulder/And I had a feeling that I belonged/I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car/We go cruising entertain ourselves/You still ain’t got a job/And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better/You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted/We’ll move out of the shelter/Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
(Repeat CHORUS)
You got a fast car/And I got a job that pays all our bills/You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better/Thought maybe together you and me’d find it/I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere/So take your fast car and keep on driving
(Repeat Chorus)
You got a fast car/But is it fast enough so you can fly away?/You gotta make a decision/Leave tonight or live and die this way
