currently listening to: silverchair - tomorrow

dahil sa mga nangyayari sa akin sa mga nakaraang araw...ewan ko. parang napapaisip ako sa mga bagay bagay. hmmmm...sounds family. parang quarter life crisis ulit ah. hehehe...ewan ko. pero just like all things in life. kelangan tanggapin na lang mga nangyayari sa atin at harapin ang kinabukasan.

'nuff said.

may EG GT nanaman ata this friday...wahoooo! tutulo nanaman laway ko sa mga maayos at magarang mga hatchback at ESi sa shell BAS. within the week, magpapalit na rin ako ng mags and some small interior stuff.

o eto..para sa inyo...

You say that money, isn’t everything,
But I’d like to see you live without it,
You think you can keep on going living like a king,
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it,
- silverchair (from the song tomorrow)

the greatest game...ever!

currently listening to: mayonnaise - salamin

last friday...EG GT (EG get together). astig. tumulo laway ko...sobra. sobrang daming magagandang hatch at esi. whew!

may binebenta si estri sa akin na hub caps...mas maganda pa dun sa gusto kong bilhin. astig. sana maset na yung deal. :D

emo again...and again...again again again

currently listening to: hale - blue sky

this song by hale...has got to be my favorite right now. i can just imagine if this is played live...galing nung build up nung song. di masyado captured sa CD pero feeling ko kapag live...malakas ang dating. simple lang yung kanta pero malakas yung dating (at least para sa akin).

props to mark and hiraya for being a part of the up coming fete de la musique. astig! congrats! our dreams are finally starting to be (at least on your end). sana masabit niyo kami dyan! hehehe! tuloy tuloy na to men!

emo nanaman ako about work..tangna. feeling ko, pinagiinitan na ako dito. labo.

pero tulad ng sabi ni champ sa blue sky...

"there will always be a blue sky...a blue sky waiting tomorrow...full of hope...full of hope!"

sana maayos na lahat to.

EP namin...malapit na matapos...guitar parts ko na lang (and yung kay mark) para sa "hanggang takipsilim". im glad monty liked the song. its slowly dislodging "bittersweet" as one of my favorites sa repertoire namin. surely..sa next gig, tutugtugin na namin yan.

di ko rin lam pano magtuturn out yung schedule when it comes to releasing the EP and yung assignment ko sa states (that is, kung matuloy pa yun at di nanaman magbago assignment ko).

to hale, hiraya, my car and our EP....astig!

vrooom ulit!

currently listening to: live - heaven

while i was surfing the internet for EG hatch pics...i stumbled upon the www.superhonda.com site. tapos...sa photo gallery nila...nakita ko itong hatch na ito. huwaw! gusto ko na tuloy yung hub caps na yan. realizing na malabo akong makabili ng mags dahil wala akong pera...ito na lang siguro yung next best thing that i can get for my car. next pay day...yan na kukunin ko. astig.

running board na lang talaga...medyo tapos na exterior ko...except of course dun sa pintura. bwehehe! pero pwede na rin yun kahit pano.

congrats nga pala sa hiraya. they were featured in NU107's In the Raw last sunday. Nagtext din si Mark kanina na pinatugtog daw yung Pedestal sa NU. congrats. it's all happening for hiraya right now...i can just hope and pray that we follow suit.

para sa hiraya...

KAMPAI!

dizzy boy dizzy girl!

currently listening to: smashing pumpkins - mayonaise

nakausap ko si mark ng hiraya. sayang, di ko narinig yung guesting nila sa "in the raw" ng NU107 kagabi. its all exciting for his band and our band. sila, i assume they're looking for a deal na with a label or at least kahit break lang. kami naman...patapos na recording then its off to the post recording stuff na.

kagabi napagusapan namin ni rica at lara kung ano next steps..gusto rin pala ni rica magpackage. haaay nako...eh kung nagumpisa na magipon dati, eh di madali na lang yan sana ngayon. wala lang. dati ko pa sinabi yan..dapat by now ok na at tuloy tuloy na..pero kung ngayon pa lang magsstart magipon, eh di madedelay pa. given na 1 month pa more or less yung packaging, reproduction, etc...wala lang. kung gusto...may paraan. kung ayaw...maraming dahilan.

you gotta set your priorities straight men. deym. its all good. exciting eto! sana lang wala nang setbacks.

sana makabili na ako ng drivemaster na pareho kay jc. demmit. gustong gusto ko talaga yung tunog nun. haaaay pakshet! sana sa sing meron nun (that is..kung matuloy ako) labo ng mga dito sa opis eh!

typical situation in these typical times

dave matthews band - typical situation

pumunta kami ng banawe ni nette yesterday. asteeeeeg. amber na corner lights ng oto ko! :D onti na lang! JDM all the way beybeh! hehehe! flare na eto!!! :D


kagabi, tinuloy namin yung recording. it was pretty productive. natapos ni rica and jc yung last track (hanggang takipsilim) tapos natapos namin ni lara yung parts namin para sa restless. astig. yung vocals ko sa perfect day, dadayain na lang sa mixing. hehehe. hirap pala talagang kumanta. lol.

all of those yesterdays...coming around

currently listening to: smashing pumpkins - drown

last night, nagpractice kami ng sc....astig. after one round of all of our songs, we decided to make another one. lara had a melody to one of her poems...jc and i collaborated for the music on this one. astig. sounded like something from the old smashing pumpkins. hahaha! naisip ko tuloy, muhkang masyado ko na atang pinapakinggan ang smashing pumpkins at razorback ngayon. hahaha! old school rules!

medyo di pa tapos yung kanta..pero it's getting there. this is definitely something to be excited about. medyo fun siya tugtugin...at maganda siya for me. medyo heavy...pero andun pa rin yung pagiging suspicious characteresque niya.

sana next practice...mabuo na to.

e-log time once again!

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

may gig nga pala ang almighty HH this saturday (may 21) sa aurora heights sa san pedro laguna. sana makanuod kayo. bow!

such a shame... tsktsktsk...yes...it really is

currently listening to: francism - girl be mine

may nagcomment sa pinost ko kanina dito sa blog ko...wtf?! ano daw?! ano yan? pati sa blog may nagsspam na? hahaha! gerdamit!

i was browsing through PEx kanina...and i saw the thread about the band session road again. lupet. yung thread turned into a hate thread. hehehe. ni-rip off daw kasi ng session road ang isang kanta ng superdrag. lupet. katangahan naman kasi talaga kung ganito gagawin mo eh...yung buong kanta kinopya. tindi din. check out the details here. nakakawalang respeto lang...and to think, medyo ok pa naman tingin ko sa kanila ah.

i must admit na medyo common ata for artists to get something from other bands..pero kung buong kanta na kukunin mo...tapos di mo man lang nacredit yung pinagkunan mo...ibang usapan na yun. i remember my conversation with mark a few months back about making songs. he said that sometimes he needs to be really into a song tapos tsaka siya nakakagawa ng something out of it. it may sound totally different, pero at least, parang dun niya nakuha yun. during one of our recording sessions, nakwento rin ni monty yung mga "influences" ng mga kanta niya. yung "bittersweet" namin. i got the riff from one of monty's songs. yung base chords the same pero iba pa rin yung structure na ginamit ko. iba rin yung pagplay. wala lang..parang point ko lang, pwede ka mainfluence ng isang tao, isang kanta, isang banda...pero sana alam mo dapat kung hanggang san ka lang. for me, di naman ata pwede yung buong kanta ni-rip off mo...tapos palitan mo lang ng onti yung lyrics...tapos take it as your own.

vroooom!

currently listening to: francism - kabataan para sa kinabukasan

uy, may nakalimutan pala ako sa list ko sa baba...

last week nga pala yung guitar fest dyan sa may makati ave. tangnang yan, di ko naalala yun ah. :( that suck. wala lang...oh well.

lately, i've been trying to get my creative side to work again. feeling ko...really soon, may lalabas nanaman na ok out of my fingers. i've been feeling the same feeling when we were making our older songs. yun lang...sana nga when we practice this wednesday, may lumabas sa akin.

sabi nga ni francism: "nasa palad mo ang kapalaran!"

teka...parang iba ata dating nun ah. hehehe!

not 2 fast...but furious!

currently listening to: session road - suntok sa buwan

yesterday...pumunta si mevs sa house para ikabit yung spoon wing na binili ko from him. astiiiiig. wala lang. unti unti na nagsheshape yung gusto kong itsura ng car ko. there are a few more items on my list tapos pintura na to. hehehe...pero as usual..since wala tayong budget dyan, kelangan unti untiin. check list ko para sa items na sunod kong bibilihin...

currently listening to: buklod - kanlungan

nakachat ko si isang friend ko kanina. funny...may isa pala akong friend na pinagkakalat na may gusto ako sa isang common friend namin tapos tinurn down daw ako dahil friends lang tingin sa akin..

...funny how these things can be easily reversed. ewan ko lang ah. kasi, sa pagkaalala ko...ako mismo umayaw eh. nanghihinayang pa nga friends nung involved party kasi malamang daw may mangyari naman between us...tapos ngayon ganito? and to think, yung nagkakalat ko pang kaibigan...tagal ko nang kaibigan. di man lang nilinaw sa akin yun?! the best ah.

tangna...mga ugali nga naman ng tao. oh well...let kids be kids. hayaan na ang mga immature peeps to do what they want. mas importante naman ay alam ko kung ano ang totoo. sana lang ma-outgrow na nila yung immaturity na yan. may mga involved parties na eh. patawa. natatawa talaga ako.

kaya sa inyo...ewan ko!


HAHAHAHA! ewan ko...pero bigla lang ako natawa with these shit. hahahaha...tangnang yan. HOUP HEX!!!

tsktsktsk...

currently listening to: indio i - di mo lang alam

astig. inassignan na ako ng laptop ulit ng mga boss ko...panalong panalo...sobrang excited na ako gamitin...pentium 3 lang siya (sobrang bilis, it takes my breath away)...20gig hard disk (na tumutunog tunog pa na parang mamamatay na anytime soon)...warak ang casing (yung tipong di mo pwede basta basta isarado dahil baka mabiyak).

naiiyak ako. deprived mothafucka. wala akong masabi. kakawalang gana. namimiss ko tuloy yung dating inassign sa akin. sobrang bilis, bago, cd writer, the works. tangna, bakit ba kasi kinuha pa eh?! gerdamit! haaaay...and im supposed to be a project manager? oh well barbell...

hehehe!

fool enough to almost be it..cool enough to not quite see it

currently listening to: smashing pumpkins - drown (live in chicago)

astig. found out na malamang 2 weeks lang ako sa sing project. tapos...uwi dito sa pinas for the development work...tapos balik for around 2 weeks ulit in around 3 months....ang saraaaaaaap saraaaaaaaaaap!

woooohooooooooooo!!!!

currently listening to: smashing pumpkins - mayonaise (live in chicago)

grabe. sobrang busy the past few days. tangna, dami ko na namimiss gawin...tulad ng pagrecord. oh well. hopefully, maging lighter in the next few days. may client kami dito and we had to take him out for dinner pa...etc.etc....

good news is...one month lang ako sa sing for the project. astiiiiiig! sure ball na to! malamang the whole of june.

after finding out about the site where almost all of the smashing pumpkins live performances (bootlegs), never ever released stuff, videos, etc.... dami ko sobrang nadownload...and parang nabalik yung interest ko sa smashing. astig astig astig. although meron na akong nung machina 2 dati pa...and complete naman albums ko...wala lang..iba pa rin kung bootleg eh. dun mo makikita yung flaws and kung gano kagaling yung artist... 1.4gig worth na nadownload ko. siyempre, pinili ko yung maganda lang yung quality ng sound. kung gusto niyo, lemme know...burn ko rin kayo. astig!

here's to the smashing pumpkins! one of the best ever!

so i threw you the obvious

currently listening to: a perfect circle - 3 libras (acoustic)

wow. naunearth ko yung ibang mp3s ko dito..astig. yung 3 libras na acoustic, ibang areglo. galing. layo dun sa original na sound...pero maganda lumabas. wala lang. im really amazed at how these fucking artists pull it off...hehehe!

hirap kasi sa atin....

teka...ayaw ko na magrant ulit.

eto na lang..senti ulit...


luha
- rivermaya

Wag mo nang ipilit,
'wag mo nang piliting lumapit
Ako'y iyong limutin,
baka pa ang langit magalit

Balikan mo ang dati,
isipin kung saan ka nagkamali
Nar'yan ka pa ba
nagluluksa sa dilim?

Ubos na ang luha

Bago na ang tinig,
bago na ang ihip ng hangin
Ubos na ang luha
sa langit at lupang atin

Alaalang inaamag
na sa isipan
Nar'yan ka pala,
nagdurusa sa dilim

Ubos na ang luha,
sa langit at lupa

tanned crap

currently listening to: hiraya - isang libong itim na dahon

company outing namin nung saturday up to sunday. astig. ganda talaga nung beach na pinuntahan namin. medyo mahal pero pwede na rin...linis ng tubig, swabe din yung sand. mas maganda pa yung beach kesa dun sa pool nila. panis ang galera....at medyo malapit pa. sa laiya lang.

medyo bonding din siyempre with the officemates. hahaha! pota, kaso...di ako masyado nakainom kasi pagod na pagod na ako nun. usapan is 530 ang alis dito pero 630+ na kami nakaalis. 11 na tuloy kami nakarating dun. naabutan na rin kami ng traffic sa south super and sa batangas mismo.

medyo may chicks din. hahaha. at least wala masyadong bading di tulad ng galera. kalahati ata ng nilalang dun bading eh.

shet. sana maulit yung beach this year. bitin ang overnight...sobra.

you gotta set your priorities man.
