Growing up, I've always been surrounded by a family full of Music lovers mostly playing OPM songs anytime of the day, Classic OPM songs of the 70's - 90's to be exact. From my mother to my Lola, to my Titas and Titos & not to mention most of my cousins. They all have that particular DVD players with huge speakers to play their choice of music and also those legendary cute sized Radios that surprisingly still made its way today.
So, every morning I would wake up not because of the sound of an alarm clock but instead with either of my family's or my neighbor's daily blasting sound of music. And me on the other hand, being exposed to these OPM songs every day, have been loving it subconsciously until it became a trait of mine to listen to these songs when doing something.
