Signs of the "Glorious Days"

its been a while since my last blog... recently ive been busy with some freelance stuff and im done with it. tomorrow, im as free as a bird again! woohooo! and yes, our confirmation with toei animation is still in process. so here we are, waiting and waiting, hopefully for nothing!

now let me tell you a short story...

last saturday night after band practice, i went straight to Sikatuna vill. at q.c. to pickup some freelance work from a college friend(jana's d name). when we arrived at her place, i let my other bandmates stay in the car for it'll only take a few minutes. however, after 10 minutes of ringing the doorbell, multiple missed calls and text msgs no one seems to be at home. so i went back to the car and listened to some opm music while waiting. then something freaky happened, the tape started to sound weird like its back masked and the lights started to blink simoultaneously. i couldn't fix the prob so i turned off the car. after a minute or so, i started it again and holy shit, it didnt turn on! i gave a few more tries but still no ignition. there and then, that incident reminded me of the "Glorious Days" with the old lancer. i guess you're wondering why i called it "Glorious Days" when theres nothing "glorious" about it, well to tell you the truth i dunno either! i just called it like that, hehe. This time, the civic is fucking up on me. finally, jana went out and invited us in. i gave it rest hoping and praying that when i come back it will start. we stayed around 20 mins, so were back at the car again. 1st try, nothing. 2nd try, yes! the car finally started! my prayers were answered!i figured that the problem was the battery, so we drove through EDSA and south superway with no radio(a little only, we listened to parokya ni edgar, inuman sessions), no aircon and dimmed lights only! not to mention the pollution and heavy traffic along boni because of an event. thank God, we got through that, coz if the civic goes dead in EDSA, that's gonna be a hell of a problem.

as we reached b.f. homes, i felt a bit relieved considering lesser problems if the civic fails again. after eating, i had the car gassed up in caltex and that was the end of it. i turned off the car as requested by the gas boyz, and it never started after that. i gave a lot of tries. a few minutes later my dad came to the rescue, gave the car a boost and were all good. the next day we figured that the problem was not the battery but the alternator. ok, so my dad fixed it, but i know that more problems are gonna come in the future. its a 6 yr-old car, 2nd hand, so wat do u expect. its all we can afford right now and im quite pissed thinking that im gonna go through the "glorious days" again, with a different car. tsk, tsk... maybe its just meant to be. then again i suck at driving and i suck at cars, dunno shit. well, at least i know how to change tires and wash it, hehe. this gonna be another adventure, wanna ride wid me?

oh yeah, we have a gig on friday, jan 28 at Katipunan mini-golf near the flyover bridge. pls do come, there will be a lot of bands. show starts at 8pm, p100 per ticket including 1 drink. Thanks a lot to "Rock Manok" productions.

peace \m/
