When my colleagues and I were talking about 80s OPM singers, the name Nonoy Zuniga came about.
That name immediately rang a bell because of two things.
First, he's a surgeon aside from being a singer. And back then, that was a huge deal. Imagine, he's a not only a good doctor, he's a good singer, too!
Second, he's the brother of my grade 2 teacher, Mrs. Munoz. She would often talk about him, and he actually went to our lass one time.
It was after that meeting that the class learned about his songs. And they turned out to be really cool songs! They were well-written, the lyrics were deep and insightful, and the melodies were easy to listen to. Ballads were his forte, and he sang them with an emotion that you can easily feel.
So, for today's Friday Magic Madness, let me play Nonoy Zuniga's most iconic hits
"Doon lang" was released in 1981, and became one of the most played songs on-air during that time. It also became one of the usual singing contest songs that would be sung. That's who impactful it was.
Let's just say the doctor wrote the prescription for a hit!
You've done so much for me - both in good and not-so-good times. Your infinite love and compassion has guided me for so many years, and I'm a better person because of of that.

Cute cats really take the edge of Mondays. Especially this Monday when the weather isn't that great.
Spotted this cat in one of the buildings here in Ortigas.
His position on the bottom step, and his far away look makes this photo so intriguing. What's he thinking about? What's keeping him from walking up the stairs?
Looks like the fisherman's clasp is having a fashion moment.
I've seen it being by some fast fashion brands, including our very own Plains & Prints.
Ate Bullet was drawn to this jacket the moment she saw it. Needless to say, we had to get it.
The combination of the black denim and the fisherman's clasps gives it a very industrial yet chic vibe. To soften the hardness of the jacket, we paired it with a soft and draped skirt from The SM Store, and mules from Zara.
This gives the look a combination of classy and edgy.
I've been wondering and researching if H&M will have another designer collaboration, and it usually comes out blank.
But this weekend, they surprised us with this:
Elie Saab x H&M!
I've been a fan of this Lebanese designer for years now. I'm drawn to his very elegant and feminine point of view. He does a lot of red carpet gowns and bridal dresses, and they're always very luxe and fashionable.
And judging by the images that are being provided so far, he's bringing this high glam to H&M.
It's that time of the year where Philippine creatives gather to learn, network, and recognize the work that ad people work tirelessly on.
This year is more fun because of the judging duties that was assigned to me. And it's interesting to see how that shortlisting judging will pan out in the finals.
While waiting for that, let's put another kidlat on the spotlight for Friday Magic Madness.
"Grease Lightnin'" is a 1978 song by John Travolta from the film "Grease." It's one of the fun and upbeat songs, and it still is one of the most memorable and popular ones, alongside "You're the one that I want," and "Hopelessly devoted to you."
Thanks to Mark, I've got a fresh stash of Mith Bangkok perfume!
The best of the best when it comes to this brand is definitely "Nude." Scent Takes isn't exaggerating when she says that this is one of - or maybe the - best skin scent ever. It really embodies the "your skin but better" philosophy.
It's so popular that it's also difficult to get.
Mark told me that when he went to the Mith stall in Central World, the staff said that Nude was out of stock. But she advised him to try to come back in a few hours since they might have a restock. Thankfully, Mark did, and he was able to get 2 bottles of Nude, plus 2 other scents.
