Bondoc means Mountain


Looks like I missed this dude’s UCI concert Thursday night. Even if I went I guess I wouldn’t have been able to make it on time anyway, given the traffic on L.A. freeways at rush hour. On his twitter he said he’s in FL now for a gig there. What a busy guy. He’s got a few concerts coming up according to his Myspace.

Nov 21 2009 8:00P Red Balloon 2009 Davis, California

Dec 18 2009 7:00P One Night Only in San Francisco San Francisco, California

Funny thing is, I’m also from the S.F. Bay Area but only heard about him when I was already living here in L.A. Lucky for me I’m living in Cali, so I know I’ll get to catch one of his shows eventually.

Incidentally, his last name is an archaic form of the word ‘bundok,’ which means ‘mountain’ in Tagalog. It even found its way into the American vocabulary in the last century as the term ‘boondocks.’ Bet some of you didn’t know that. =]
