Again, The Girl in the Dirty Shirt

It’s April 13! Yay! Yay! Boys and girls, do you know what that means?!??!!?!?
Syempre hindi diba. Ako lang naman ‘to, e.
But still! It’s Oasis Day: Year 12! HAPPY HAPPY OASIS DAY, EVERYBODY!
Mini-Oasis Day Primer: On this day 12 years ago, my family and I were heading back to Manila from Baguio, and I was getting all nauseous and whiny in the backseat of the van. My mom handed me my grab-bag of cassettes to shut me up, and the album I pulled out was Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. By the time I was listening to “Cast No Shadow,” it hit me that Oasis was going to be My Favorite Band in the Whole Wide Universe. 12 years later, these Mancunians still are. Granted that Oasis’ albums have gotten worse and I’ve come to obsess over many other bands and their own great music, but they will forever have a place in my puny liddle heart.
Hence the annual personal holiday, which I've never ever forgotten to observe. I usually just celebrate Oasis Day listening to all their albums and b-sides, watching their concert DVDs, reading magazine articles that feature them, browsing through their unauthorized bio books, plodding around the house in my Oasis logo sleep-shirt, and man do I sound pathetic.
But I don’t caaaaaaare! It’s Oasis Daaaaaaaaay! Yeheeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it’s Friday the 13th, too. Ooga booga.
