astig! biglang andaming magreresign dito..si kyut, si pats, si hen. although undecided pa daw si hen...pero marami akong nakikita na magpapasa na din really soon. anyway, bakit kaya umaalis mga tao? tingin ko, depende din yan sa mga kasama mo eh. tipong..."pare, ok naman dito eh...masaya kayo kasama pero olats management eh". ang tanong eh, kung ikaw ba nasa pwesto ng management, tingin mo ba may magagawa kang mas maayos? honestly speaking, siguro nga kanya kanyang threshold lang yan kung hanggang gano katagal mo tiisin ang isang bagay. ako, siguro nakakayanan ko pa. more or less, im giving this one last shot. kapag di ako natuloy sa singapore, yun na yun. babay na talaga. pero minsan naiisip ko, pera pera lang talaga eh. nabubullshitan ako sa mga nagsasabi na "wala akong growth eh" samantalang tadtad naman ng ginagawa at challenged sobra sa trabaho (pwere na lang talaga sa iba na halata namang di na nag-ggrow). bottomline is, may kanya kanyang motibo ang bawat tao...pero naapektuhan ang ibang tao dahil dito. may papaalis na empleyado, maya't maya...maguusap usap sila na masama loob nila, etc etc...madadamay ang ibang tao. pati sila mapapaisip at maapektuhan. tangnang yan, call me crap pero kung ikaw ang nasa kabilang side ng fence...tingin mo ba ok yun? oo, may mali sila, pero would you have done any better? di ko sinasabi na mali sa lebel natin..pero open lang ako sa idea na we couldn't have done any better kung tayo yung nasa kabila.

pero teka, don't get me wrong. la akong sinasabi na kupal etc etc...opinion ko lang po to. kumbaga, as usual, bukas lang talaga ako to both sides always.

bukas nga pala, gig ng holding hands sa kolumn bar. astig astig. kita kits mga repapips!

it has been almost a month since i last posted an entry in my online blog. wala din naman masyadong nangyari eh. balik na ako sa morning shift ko na 9am-6pm...wala na yung banda ko (suspicious character) at miyembro na ako ng holding hands.

kagabi may gig kami ng holding hands sa gweilo's eastwood. one of our best gigs so far (in my opinion)...medyo nakukuha ko na yung banat at bagsakan pagdating sa bass..at relatively, onti lang mali ko last night (just one to be exact). hehehe! astig astig! sana may patunguhan na to.

may niluluto nga pala kami ng isa kong kaibigan na nagbabanda din. sana matuloy na to at sana maging mas maayos.

kita kits mga repapips!

btw...nadinig niyo na ba yung tribute album para sa APO Hiking Society? astig. lupet nung banat ng itchyworms sa awit ng barkada. pwedeeeeee! hehe!

plugging ulit...sa august 16, nasa kolumn bar ang holding hands. sana makapunta kayo at mapanuod niyo ang bagong tunog ng holding hands.

currently listening to: urbandub - endless, a silent whisper

sagwa ng gig namin kagabi. pero what the fuck?! we all had fun anyway. maski andami naming sabit, maski andaming maling timing ng bagsakan, maski nagkalat kami...we had fun. yun yung pinakaimportante dun. we played 6 songs. yung pinakabago, fed up, perfect day, bittersweet, eternal flame (something we havent done in a loooooong time), and hanggang takipsilim.

may bagong singer na hiraya. astig. the girl looks awfully familiar though. parang she's part of a different band before na nakasabay na ng SC. anyways, ok din naman. iba yung dating kasi nag-gigitara.

at para sa mas seryosong bagay....

kinausap ako ng isa sa mga boss dito kanina for my evaluation. mixed emotions ang kinalabasan ng discussion namin. masaya ako kasi kinausap na ako for my eval after a long long time. pero nung after, medyo naglabasan kami ng mga opinions, etc namin. nabring up ko yung palipat lipat ng projects sa akin. inexplain naman niya na naiintindihan niya yung point ko at medyo demoralizing nga naman para sa isang tao na sabihin na iaassign ka sa ganitong project (at aasahan mo na at ihahanda mo na sarili mo dun) tapos ililipat ka bigla sa ibang project. mas masagwa naman kung naumpisahan mo na yung project tapos bigla kang papalitan ng ibang tao at iaassign ka sa ibang project (na nangyari na din sa akin countless of times). anyway, bottomline is. sinabihan na ako na sa states ako pupunta for a project tapos last week kinausap ako ng pinaka boss dito at sinabi na sa singapore na lang daw ako maaassign. naknampota naman. pagod na pagod na ako na pinagpapasapasahan. lahat ng latak ibinigay na sa akin. nasabi ko na din kanina na isa sa naiiisip ko ay wala silang tiwala sa kakayahan ko. pero putangna. naisip ko lang...naghire sila ng walang kaalam alam sa pagmamanage ng project para maging project manager....tapos ganito nangyayari sa akin?! naniniwala akong isa akong ok na project manager at ok ako sa ginagawa ko. kaya ba ako ganito sa kumpanyang ito at dahil mas pabor ako sa mga tao ko? dahil mas close ako sa kanila? ewan ko lang ha. pero more than being a project manager, naniniwala din kasi ako na responsibilidad ko ding hubugin yung mga tao na under sa akin. anyway. bottomline is...medyo napapagod na ako. napapaisip na din ako magresign. sabi naman ni boss, by tuesday daw malalaman ko na kung san talaga ako iaassign pero mga 80-85% na daw na sa singapore ako. anyway, di ko na masyado iniisip yan. nawawalan lang din naman ako ng gana magtrabaho eh. kelangan ko na talaga magisip ng ibang paraan para kumita. hayop!

eto pa isang medyo nakakadismaya na pangyayari. may binebenta kasi akong memory card for a certain price tapos nakita ko na lang nagpost din isang officemate ko dun sa boards at ginawa niyang mas mura. anaknangteteng naman. respeto man lang sana diba? pero ok lang. sige lang. naiintindihan ko na ganyan talaga ang mundo. gulangan lang talaga. kaya nga may mga mayayaman at merong mga di umaasenso tulad ko. narealize ko lang, para umangat ka sa mundong ito, kelangan: 1.) marunong kang gumamit ng mga tao na nasa paligid mo. aminin mo na din, gamitan lang naman talaga sa mundong ito. 2.) kumita ka ng limpak limpak na salapi. no matter how you do it...just do it. bottomline is, nirerespeto at tinitingala ang mga taong may pera. kapag meron ka na nito, magdonate ka na lang sa mga sinalanta ng bagyo o sa mga charity para magmuhka kang mabait. 3.) tropahin mo lahat ng pwede mong tropahin. (para marelate mo ito sa item number 1) at 4.) kelangan muhkang astig ka sa pananaw ng mga tao.

kung small spender ka..wala ka. kung kuripot ka...wala ka. ganyan talaga dito sa mundong ito. mundo na punong puno ng kasakiman. dapat, di ka din makuntento sa kung ano mang meron ka. astig diba? astig!

teka. isa na ata ito sa pinakamahabang blog entry na naisulat ko sa buong kasaysayan ng aking blog. pero ganun pala talaga kung marami ka nang kinikimkim na sama ng loob. kelangan mo lang talagang maibuhos. feeling ko wala din naman akong makausap na matino tungkol dito eh. to top it all off...di lang ito ang mga pinoproblema ko. oo na. tama ka. pinoproblema ko ang mga bagay na di ko dapat pinoproblema...iniisip ko masyado ang mga bagay na di ko na dapat iniisip. pero putangina mo. ano bang pakialam mo?! di mo naman ako tinutulungan diba? hehe! sorry. urat lang talaga.

i recently bought a couple of CDs (further seems forever, tokyo rose, coheed and cambria and the 2 in 1 series of color it red). right now, i am listening to the color it red discs and i can't help but reminisce about the old times again. for me, local bands like the eraserheads, color it red, razorback, wolfgang, yano, etc brings back old school memories. memories from my highschool and college days. kumbaga, yun yung mga soundtrack ng buhay ng mga taong nasa parehong edad ko. soundtrack ng mga happy go lucky type na walang masyadong iniisip...yung mga pinoproblema mo lang ay kung papasa ka sa school...yung pinoproblema mo lang ay yung mga crush mo at kung pano mo sila kakausapin...yung pinoproblema mo lang ay kung pano ka magpapaalam sa magulang mo para pumunta sa isang party. mga simpleng problema para sa mga simpleng tao. mga simpleng problema na kung ihahambing mo sa mga problema mo ngayon....maiiisip mo na hindi sila pwedeng ipaghambing.

sarap ng buhay dati noh? sarap ng buhay ng isang bata. sarap ng buhay ng isang tao wala kang masyadong iniisip.

put@ng!n@ng buhay to! paulit ulit araw araw. wala nang pinagbago. nakakasawa na sobra. kung mapapansin niyo...matagal na akong di nagsusulat sa blog ko na ito. ito ay sa dahilang wala namang kwenta mga pinagsusulat ko dito. puro ka-emohan. puro reklamo. puro tungkol sa mga kung ano anong nangyayari sa buhay ko...(na malamang emo).

well...wala. naisipan ko lang magsulat ulit. emo pa rin ako. parehong trabaho. parehong schedule araw araw. routinary na ika nga. kelangan ko na may gawin para may maiba naman. nakakasawa na talaga.

o nga pala. mga 2 weeks ago, nagpractice kami ng mga dating miyembro ng holding hands. medyo di na emo yung tugtugan at ako na ang bago nilang bahista. kanina nakausap ko si mark at parang gusto ata nila mag-iba ng genre ng tugtugan. astig astig. yun lang.

a few days ago i realized that one of my officemates had a copy of all of the rocking horse winner songs that i had (before it got stolen along with my car)...so i asked him to give me a copy.

ngayon lang niya dinala at pota...i've been listening to them again for the whole day.

nakakamiss yung mga old times.

for the past week puro meetings lang ako dito sa office. our clients from the africa project came over to discuss a few things and so far, everything has been running smoothly. i just wish that when the actual work comes, smooth lang din. hehehe! muhkang sobrang busy yung team for the rest of the year....SOBRA. shuttling back and forth from one african country to another. yari! hehe!

i got a new delay pedal! thanks to los of up dharma down...i got his DOD DFX94. sabi ni los, ito din daw yung ginamit niya sa recording ng song na "pag-agos". sana maging kasing galing ako ni los (nyek! labo! hehe!). pero honestly, since sobrang scarce ang BOSS DD-3, muhkang this delay pedal will do. Nabenta ko na din kasi yung ZOOM 508 multi-delay pedal ko eh.

i can't wait to grab my guitar and play with this new pedal. yun nga lang, medyo hirap sa oras...pag uwi from the meetings, sobrang pagod na.

i caught up dharma down last night at tower records in glorietta. galing talaga. maski live, lupet. i caught them playing oo, pag-agos, sleeptalk, malikmata, and we give in sometimes. los paraded a new guitar. wala lang. ganda din.

i can't help but noticed how awed the people were while they were watching them...then again, i cant blame them din. malupet naman kasi talaga eh.

if you havent seen this band live...you should do. 'nuff said.

thanks to los for telling me they had a gig at tower yesterday. keep up the good work dude!

i can't wait for tomorrow. i'm going to buy my car a new set of mags! woooohoooo! onti na lang talaga tapos na ako. hehehe! after i finish with my car, ipon naman. wala pa rin akong naiipon eh.

may EK elites (ng HCP) get together bukas sa the fort (chowking parking lot). sa mga naka EK, kita kits!

the end of an era...

2006-03-03T17:35:00.000+08:00

currently listening to: hiraya - you

last night's gig at 6underground marked the end of an era (or so as they say). although we sucked last night (a testimony of our lack of practice)...i had a great time. a number of people came to watch and somehow, i didnt care whether what the people thought of us. like what i told mike (now also of menaya), "wild tayo mamya ah!"....he replied with a smile and said "lagi naman eh!"

the reason why i mentioned that last night was the end of an era is because hiraya played it's last gig. Ala will migrate to australia soon with the rest of her family and hiraya will be once more left with no one to man the mic. mark hasnt even though about what's going to happen but i am prodding him to continue what he has started. it's sad to see one act full of potential just go to waste. this is one of the bands that i've followed through out their so-called "career" and i'm just damn proud of it.

tuloy niyo lang yan...i still believe in you guys. rak lang! banat lang ng banat!

labo ata ng post ko ngayon...pakshet! too damn tired with all these mid-shift/night shift work. i badly need to rest.

....now to get back to dressing up my euro EK!

lupet ng mga restos dun....pier one, bite club, ice monster, a whole host of those french crepe bars...and expensive seafood restos. damn.

last night's gig at mag:net was great. we played around 7 songs...3 covers and 4 originals. mr. romeo lee asked us to play first since we were complete and none of the other bands were present. he also asked us to play a long set to stall the time for the other bands...hence the 7 song set. we played "here and now" by letters to cleo, "6 underground" by the sneaker pimps, and "eternal flame" by the bangles.

for the original songs, we asked mike bacalzo (of comets tale) to play with us as 2nd guitars. i sent him mp3 demos of our songs and the chords on how to play them...he did pretty well..so well that i was convinced to add him to our band. we still need to discuss other details though but it's almost a sure thing.

he'll also be playing with us on the remaining gigs for january...

on the 24th, we'll be at purple haze in marikina (free entrance)...and on the 25th at 6underground in makati. check us out...and check out our new sound.

lumilipad ang isip, natutulala
sampung oras nang nakatitig, sa wala
di pa rin lubos maisip, ang nagawa
ayoko nang isipin, sa iyo'y nagkasala

nagsisisi sa aking pagkakamali
maghihintay sa pag-asa pa muli
humihingi ng pagkakataong bumawi

the newbies (including the not so newbies) presented different dance moves but the group of my people won the grand prize for the presentation. they did a skit ala nuts entertainment wherein nobody knows exactly what they are going to do. they only know their roles and someone is just saying what they will be doing. syempre..80's yung setting...andyan ang luneta, yung get up nila. yung mga mannerisms....

saya kagabi..almost everyone participated...syempre, di mawawala yung pagreminisce mo during that era. panalo...panalo talaga.

the past few weeks...we're trying to look for a car to replace my carnapped one. problem is...i dont know where the fuck i am going to get the money to pay for that...so the past few days, i've been thinking of not getting a car at all (for the meantime at least). gusto ko na rin kasi makaipon. sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, i just cant afford not to save...hehehe...all these years na nagtatrabaho ako..ngayon lang ako magiipon talaga. usually, nagiipon ako dati for something na gusto ko...pero yung ipon para lang magipon...never ko pa ginawa.

badtrip...dami naming gigs na pinalagpas itong past few weeks. naiiisip ko lang talaga na siguro di ko na dapat masyado dinidibdib tong mga ganito. wag ko na rin gawin masyadong priority itong kalokohan to. di ko kaya magisa, parang wala namang gustong tumulong, at di ko rin naman ma-execute yung ibang gusto kong mangyari eh. bow.

di pa din tapos recording namin...actually, matagal na kaming di nagrerecord. sana talaga matapos na. lord...sana tulungan mo kami. ahem!

i got back from Tchad, Africa last thursday evening. tangina, iba pa rin talaga ang pinas...suddenly...this lousy pathetic country became a paradise...parang sumobra na ang ganda ng pinas para sa akin compared sa Tchad. maybe, it really was a case of taking things for granted. ika nga ni ala, magiging eye opener daw itong trip ko na ito...and it was. if the pinas is considered to be a 3rd world country...then you guys should see Tchad. tanginang yan. kung may 5th world..malamang yun na yun. hehehe! basically, there was only 2 cemented roads, 4 "eatable" restos, 2 places you can consider a hotel (and mind you, di pa rin maganda...think 1 or 2 star hotel type dito sa pinas). conversion rate is 500 to a dollar. wala lang..i could go on and on about tchad...but, then again...ano ba pake natin sa kanila? naisip ko lang ulit (what else is new?! lagi naman ako nagiisip eh)...pakshet talaga mga pulitiko sa bansang ito. if for once, all of them united for a common goal which is to lift the country from poverty and rid of the corruption, kayang kaya naman eh....pero malabo yun. sakim eh. tangina. ang presidency dito sa bansa natin...parang lord of the rings. umiikot lang yung kwento sa kasakiman. sa kaswapangan. pinagdadasal ko na lang na sa kwentong ito...meron din tayong frodo at sam na magliligtas sa atin. no matter how gay they are...at least, noble yung intentions nila.

anyways...after a couple of great gigs last night...pahinga muna ng 2-3 weeks ang banda..pero pramis, babalik kami with a bang.

talked to monty about our recording and he wants us to re-record everything. pangit daw kasi. i agree though. sana lang, di na magtagal. kasi i really want our EP out. as in. feeling ko that's really the next step we can take. oh well barbel.

eheads soundtrip ako ngayon. i miss them. the greatest band this country has ever produced. 'nuff said.

last night was one helluva gig. hardcore sa dami ng tao. we went first and played 6 songs...damn, i must be getting old cause i got really exhausted after we played. we played our usual set (perfect day, bittersweet, fed up, feigning indifference, eternal flame and hanggang takipsilim). crowd was great. hehehe! day one followed us then mayonnaise then happy meals then hiraya.

astig talaga mga bagong kanta ng mayo.

lupet din ng hiraya kagabi. well, i expect nothing less from them anyway. i expect them to take the music scene by storm anytime soon. (oi mark! waaaag..sayaaaaang! hehe!)

hmmm.....emo pa rin ako...as usual. pakshet tong buhay na to!

something suddenly hit me....again. wala lang. emo nanaman. life is unfair. it really is.

for people like me...all you can do is dream...ito na lang naman ata ang libre sa mundo ngayon diba? astig. kaya sinusulit ko.

when i was in gradeschool/highschool my goals in life were pretty simple. have a small closely knit family, have my own resto which can support my family, excel in either sports or music. so far, i havent reached any of those...

yes, i am in a band right now but it doesnt mean that i am excelling in what i do. like what i've been telling people. im not good. i really am not...but i try to make up for that with passion. i really love what i'm doing. once you hit those chords/notes...once the music starts...it's like heaven. i love playing on-stage.

once you get older, you certainly realize a lot of stuff. life's not fair. everything you do is bullshit. pero pwede din namang life is good. everything happens for a reason. half empty, half full kumbaga. depends on how you look at it. feeling ko lang, sa sobrang daming frustrations ko sa buhay, mas nakakapagfocus ako sa negative side of things...

rich people get to do whatever they want to. minsan, they complain about being so restricted in what they can do, etc etc...for someone like me who doesnt have it all, it should be seen as a blessing.......but then again, for someone like them, things i do and dont have may be seen as a blessing as well.

anyways...wala atang sense tong entry ko na to. pakshet. ang gulo ko.

intermission ulit...here's a song introduced to me by our vocalist lara...

loved and lost everything
- jack's broken heart

before you go
one last piece, of my soul
would it matter if i held you
and told you that it was alright, one last time

i wanted to be your first love
i would have settled for your last romance.
but as you walk into his arms
will we ever have our last dance?

forever ends within this minute
why did you choose to end it like this?

when there was so much left to say
you were soft-spoken in the hardest way
endless waiting for those things, you could never say
you always knew how to break my day

forever ends from this minute
i don't want this to end tonight

it's not alright
infinitely was written
trying not to fold for you this one last time
before you go to him

whoever said to have loved and lost is better than never loving never felt like this!

the times of our lives were not spent well
and so i fell,
harder than ever!
and i'll keep reminding myself to regret.

im starting to fashion an idea in my head...

astig kagabi. girls night pala sa kolumn. so lahat ng bandang tumugtog girl fronted (obviously). hahaha! nauna yung bandang se7en. astig sila. galing galing...reminds me of the 10,000 maniacs...pero mas may edge. muhkang aangat to. sumunod kami sa kanila. badtrip, di ko talaga makuha yung timpla ng amps dun...pero ayus lang naman din. after namin, chubibo na nagplay. sa wakas, napanuod ko na din sila live. astig pala talaga. pagkatapos nila, fancycakes naman...makakasabay din namin sila sa sunday sa mai yuchi.

astig. interesting talaga yung eksena ngayon. daming magagaling na bandang lumalabas dyan. sana lang lahat mapakinggan ng lahat at mabigyan ng chance umangat.

recording again

2005-07-19T17:30:00.000+08:00

currently listening to: the dawn - i saw you coming in

last night i went to the aquarium again to finish up my parts for "hanggang takipsilim". monty and i was quite happy with the results. this has got to be the most guitar parts i've done in a single song so far. i think the guitar tracks for this song is around 4-6 tracks. whoooweeee! for the verses, i used the chorus and flanger for the strumming parts, chorus for the plucking parts, and chorus and delay for the solo parts. mark used his RP-50 for his solo part. monty and i used the board's distortion for the heavy and intro part. i then used the board's distortion with my flanger for the intro parts again. to sum it up...hindi na manipis yung tunog ng kanta...actually, natatakot ako na baka sumobra yung kapal niya. pero it's all good. its now ready for lara to fill in her vocal tracks. she's got around 2 tracks to fill in. after that, i'll record an acoustic version of one of our songs...most likely perfect day.

the excitement for the release of our ep has again creeped up on me. potangina! sa wakas...malapit na talaga to. after the acoustic parts, mixing na. roughly, it will take around 2-3 more sessions...then it's off to the reproduction stage.

medyo bonding din kami ni monty kagabi. hahaha! kwentuhan tungkol sa mga banda..sa banda niya, banda ko, side band niya at mga iba't iba pang banda sa eksena. it's nice to hear from somebody who's already there in the industry for quite some time. marami rami ka ring matututunang aral eh.

next recording session will either be on sunday or thursday...depending on monty's sched. hope all's well para tuloy tuloy na. i would also prefer na i-re-record ni mark solo parts niya. medyo di ok yung acoustics eh.

honestly, i believe that we're going to make it. i'm going to do everything i can for us to make it (basta wag lang ako maurat...again). hehehe! basta. kung di kasi ako naniniwala...eh di wag na lang...

amen.

eto na...eto naaaaa!

JC and i went to the fiestamundo office last tuesday. requirement nila 2 songs so kelangan pa namin magmix ng medyo malinis linis ng isa pa. iniisip pa rin namin kung ano possible songs na pwede ilagay dun. feeling kasi namin medyo may complications yan kapag na-sign na kami ng label (hahaha! wishful thinking)

bahala na. this sunday na next na recording. kelangan na talaga to matapos...this is WAAAAAAAAAAAY LONG OVERDUEEEEEEEEEEEE!

currently listening to: soapdish - sana sinabi

last saturday we had a gig at the kolumn bar near timog. got to know mike of comets tale. kakilala ko kasi yung brother niya dati when i crossed enrolled during summer class. astig.

that gig was the last gig arlene will be having with hiraya. she's leaving the band because she's having a hard time juggling her professional career with the band. medyo marami na nga silang malulupet na gigs na pinalagpas because of this. pero tangna, medyo nalungkot ako. malaking kawalan yan dahil honestly, malaking bagay si arlene sa tunog ng hiraya. i just hope things turn out well for the rest of the band. anyways...saw a couple of hiraya EPs all over the metro yesterday. nilipat ko pa yung iba sa front rack para makita kagad ng tao. tangna mark, may bayad yun ah!

grabbed a copy of the soapdish CD. ayus din naman. medyo nagulat lang ako sa kakaibang areglo nung tensionado at pwede ba. pero pwede na rin. lol..i just thought that the EP version was better...has a bit more edge to it. badtrip nga lang, di ko makita yung EP ko ng soapdish. notable tracks include sana sinabi, pain redefined (this track is sooooooo...haaaaaay...hehe!), hintay and the usual faves...tensionado, ewan ko, dahil sa ulan and pwede ba. kudos to kurt, jeff, terence and ceasar. astig kayo!

hassle. ang aga ko gumising para di ako malate kasi umuulan...pero nalate pa rin ako. nasira kanina kotse ko. pagka-park ko dun sa parkingan ko, napansin ko na ayaw mamatay ng brake light ko. labo. tinanggal ko na yung fuse, ayaw pa rin. di ko naman makalas yung bumbilya kasi ang init sobra. tinanggal ko na lang eventually yung battery. badtrip. gastos nanaman ito for sure.

last night's recording sessions was a fairly productive one. mark recorded his solo parts for "hanggang takipsilim". it turns out na magsosolo din pala ako kahit onti dun. hahaha! ayus. fear ko lang, yung gagawin ko..di swak sa solo na ginawa niya. medyo kakaiba eh. hahaha..pero ayus din.

onti na lang talaga.......................................

nagkabit din ako ng wiper holder kasi napansin ko medyo madaling masira mga wipers na kinakabit ko..tapos DIY din na headlight buzzer. bale, kung nakapatay makina mo tapos nakabukas headlights mo, may tunog na lalabas. astig...wiper holder for less than P200...tapos buzzer for P50. pwedeeeeeeeeee!

in between discussions about the new song...rica and i started to jam...astig din kinalabasan. parang drip na squid 9 na ewan. guitars lang and drums. im pretty sure we'll make this into a new song ulit. delay, chorus and flange heavy yung kanta na upbeat. so parang techno-ey type. astig din. hahaha! i wonder what the finished song will sound like. can't wait for the next practice session again. wooohoooo!!!

talked/chatted with gino boi yesterday. salamat sa mga comments mo men. kinilabutan daw siya nung narinig niya live yung "hanggang takipsilim." astig ka. salamat ng marami.

ansarap pakinggan ng bamboo. hahaha...mainstream pero astig na rin kahit pano. natutuwa ako at ginaganahan dahil napapansin ko...simple lang mga banat na ginagawa ni ira. binabawi na lang sa areglo. ibig sabihin...kaya ko din! hahaha! woooohoooo!!! :D

Tala

ang iyong tala ang nagniningning

mula sa lupa, di mapantayan
sa kalangitan tanging liwanag mo ang matatanaw
ngunit bakit may pait sa iyong mga ngiti

nalimutan mo na bang,
hiram ang bawat saglit?
daanin mo sa iyak ang lahat ng pait

ang iyong tala ay nagdidilim
kumukupas ang kinang ng iyong bitwin

hiram ang bawat saglit
daanin mo sa iyak ang bawat pait
hiram ang bawat saglit
daanin mo sa iyak ang lahat ng pait
