Never felt better!

Last friday night's gig at San Beda(Taytay) was another total blast. And who was the star of night? Who else but the hottest member of the band JIHAN!!! Where ever, when ever, Jihan never fails to make the male specie drool over her humungous ass(hahah jk!) as she slides that G note to the F! this girl can definitely own the stage, better yet, rule the WORLD!!! Men of all ages surrender to such charisma. Jihan, "how do you do it? can you teach me? i want to get chicks nman! we don't have chicks for groupies yet!!" enough about jihan, iba naman. heheh.

Like i said, the gig was a blast and we never felt better. I was pretty surprised that right after our last song the boyz from the front row all went up the stage to have pictures taken with us. Honestly the reason why they went up, is because of Jihan(again). From the first song to the last, they were already screaming her name, take note these boyz were all 1st yr high school students! haha! And so for the first time i felt like a rockstar and it feels pretty damn good! Kulang nalang autograph! Pero sana naman next time chicks nman ang pumunta sa stage my gass! This was our farthest gig yet, halos nasa probinsya na kmi! but the distance didn't stop us from getting great exposure and MORE fans! Oh yeah, not to mention, we got paid this time! Thanks to Mars Balisacan of Agama Productions! See you in the upcoming gigs!

A few minutes ago, i logged on to amethyst's friendster account and a lot of new faces added us up together with a few testimonials. the band is definitely on a role and im proud of it. This band will go far, too bad that journey will end pretty soon for me. :_(

BATTLE FOR THE OZZFEST!!!

Ozzfest, the day when the gods of metal re-unite under one scene of hard rock music comprising of love, hate, anger and despair. The day when fretboards are shredded, amps are abused, women are raped and vocal chords heavily excersised! It is but every rocker's dream to perform in such a momentous event! The opportunity of having to clash rhythms with the legendary Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath is indeed a great honor! That dream however is made possible by our man Ozzy, a new reality tv show "Battle for the Ozzfest" is now hosted by MTV! Out of more than 700 demo cds/videos sent by aspiring heavy metal bands, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne personally handpicked 12 bands as finalists for the said contest. And the prize? not including the great exposure, the band will get to perform live at the the ozzfest 2005 plus a record a deal! damn, how i wish i was there! But theres a catch, only one representive per band gets to go to ozzfest 2004 and compete for a contest that is quite similar to uhm... fear factor?not to mention last episode, the contestants were required to bite a bat's head off! coolness man hahaha. (ozzy did this in ones of his concerts) Im looking forward to see the rest of the episodes, the shows been aired on mtv saturday afternoon. watch out for it, you get to see the likes of Zack Wylde(Black Label Society), Cory Taylor(Slipknot) and many more celebrities.

My 3210's gone ballistic!

Yes people. I am aware that my phone is a "state of the art" technology phone, it has NO antena and it can compose and send ringing tones! kaya ba ng fone nyo yan!? amazing noh? pls don't laugh, i know you want to. From the high-tech 3310 i have been demoted into using the supa cool 3210 model, bought by my sister... 4 years ago? everytime i pull this junky out of my pocket its either someone laughs at it or makes an insulting/degrading comment. well not that insulting, point is i always get a reaction. i know that phones like these are only used as substitutes for 2nd lines or for sun cellular sim cards, however to me, this is luxury man. Fuck it man, i don't care as long as i can text it's all good. having expensive phones is another reason for you to be mugged where ever and be temporarily broke(you bought it, and now you don't have money). so it gives you a status symbol, but that doesnt guarantee you being a popular superstar and shit, so don't believe all that nokia bullshit you see on mtv where "your life will being changed if you have this!" fuck it, that's bullshit. hahahah. well, im not discouraging you on buying the new models, im just sharing my point of view. to those who have the latest electrifying models, good for you! sana di ka ma-holdup! okie?! tska pa-text na rin! pa-peeeture din ha?!

just this morning, my 3210 has gone ballistic. i tried to charge it, but the phone won't detect it. worse, it kept on turning on and off! like a blinking disco light! it kept on doing the same thing even if i pull the charger out! weird i should say! like a ghost! labo. first i thought it might be the charger, but i tried it with a new one... no success. it's the phone. my dad even offered to have it fixed. wtf?! the repair itself might cost higher! so please don't bother! oh well, what's new had that same experience with my 3310 but the problem is, i have no more backups! seriously, i dont wanna spend cash on a new phone, its not my thing, i'd rather buy guitar effects with the money. however, i need a new phone! so where can i get an old phone thats good for textin? guys, if you have a 3210, 3310 or 5100, please do inform me! i'd happy to have it for FREE! come on guys! bigay nyo nlang sakin yan! please?!

Theres something wrong with me, im starting to believe that i have a "balat" on my ass. none of my hight-tech gadgets seem to survive with me. everything in my room is fucked up. the dvd player's sound is broken, my vcd/stereo is broken, the remote to my tv is broken, the lancer used to be a problem, my headphones are broken and now my cellphone! what da hell!? maybe i do have a "balat". i should get a mirror one of these days and place right in front of my ass to check if there are any huge unidentified marks. Im thankful my guitars still surviving, but that's my baby! i take good care of it! hahahah! Gig on Feb 25th at San beda fair care of Agama productions, be there guys! support us! we need you!

Bumped into some Old friends...

Just a few hours ago i dropped by festival mall to pick up my racket from toby's. Out of shear boredom and a lot of time in my hands, i decided to pass by tower records in atc and check out the cds. i was hoping to see a new set of cds on sale coz i haven't been there for quite some time. take note guys, tower records puts around 3 music artists on sale every month.(from 450 to 250) Unfortunately, those that were on sale were not exactly my type. However, im the type that never leaves empty handed so i managed to get a copy of Sugar Ray's 1st album, "Floored".

On my way to the parking lot i heard a voice saying, "pssst, si balde oh! yabang di namamansin!" Shit, no one's ever called me "balde" since highschool! so i looked back to see who was that, well what do you know, my old friends from high school! what a great coincidence! haha! i haven't seen these guys for atleast 4 years! haaris rizvi and jp hilario together w/ a friend were hanging out at starbucks. funny thing is both of them just bumped into each other as well and so they spent the time catching up with each other. I joined them and had a small chat, hoping that we might catch our other batchmates. It was all about memories hahaha, yeah memories of grade school and high school days. im quite surprised that they still remember every bit of our escapades, from bringing pornographic material in the classroom to watching it as a group at jayp's place. yeah, ganyan kme kababaw nun! la pang bang bus nun! hahaha! we also made cartoon versions of ourselves and made comics about our everyday lives and haaris rizvi's mom. buwahahahaha! peace rizvi! hahahaha! well, it was a short conversation, i had to leave right away before i get caught in the color coding. I wanted to stay because some of our batchmates(jonathan rubio, cj cervantes) were on their way to atc already. we exchanged numbers and planned a grand inuman session sometime in the future. astig toh pare, hahahah! hope to see you guys! marymount batch '99 rulez!!!

Saturday Night Super Mega Duper Hardcore Fragilistic Combo Combohan!!

Last night's gig pretty much reminded me of our very 1st performance way back at 2003 in The Venue, located at EGI Taft Tower DLSU. We were invited by Rabido productions to perform in Freedom bar. Surprisingly the line-up of bands was kinda, uh hardcore/hardrock man. haha, it was a night full heavy distortions, low-tone bass notes, fast and heavy drum beats, headbanging, angst and hard shouting/screaming. According to carlo, the gig was a variety event, but to me it really sounded like a hardcore night. some bands pulled it off nicely especially the rap metal ones, but the others were trying hard too much. their renditions of korn's music sounded like pussy, hehehe. only two bands including us played alternative and sunday machine played the old school rock n roll, grunge for short. It was a good gig, we managed to take the crowd and jihan was the star of night... again and as usual! the boyz just love how she slides that G note towards the F. hahaha!

I invited moby, mara and steven to the gig, sapilitan pa! coz' gigs were really not their thing and they have no idea on what to expect. its there first time to attend an event like this, unfortunately it was a hardcore night! hahaha! so what's their reaction? well, mara covered her ears and steven's heart was beating hard... daw, haha. Moby displayed a different reaction, he claimed that di na raw virgin ang mga tenga nya, hahahaha! well, a big thanks to you guys, nagtiyaga kayo para sakin kahit di nyo gusto tugtugan namin, hehehe joke! thanks pa rin mga mehn! they actually found our music good, i was surprised that mara enjoyed the performance by this band, she found their choreography and headbanging quite amusing however she couldn't take the music itself. she also told me a while ago that shes game to watch our upcoming gigs, pero sana wag na daw hardcore kasama. well, thats kinda hard to avoid coz' hardcore is everywhere my friend.

btw, during the gig jihan was looking down from the 2nd floor. she saw a faggot dressed like a lady trying to pick up a dude for sexual pleasures.. they talked for a while, flirting with each other i guess. after a few minutes, they got a cab and were on their way to heaven! hahah! oh yeah! spadahan na to pare!!! hehehe! hardcore na hardcore!!

F*ck you Renato

And the title says it all.

Clock's ticking...

Time does fly fast, all the while im still feeling the spirit of christmas... nge!? kiddin, february's approaching it's 3rd week and before you know it, march is already on it's way. and that means a month and a half more before the dreaded april 24th! pressure has indeed been keeping me pressured(duh) and puzzled these days, there are so many things i need to do but i don't know where to start. the more i keep on planning on what to do, the more i end up doing nothing. it always resulted in me sitting at my bed watching dvd. that's it, indeed i am living the life of the bum. this situation is quite similar to a friend of mine, val limaco (single and looking, # available upon request). she rants about having "so many lakads, but so little time", in my case however, "i've so much things to do but so little time and i can't even stuff 'em up my ass!" the fear of april 24 is also one of the things that keeps me unproductive and slowing me down. the idea of it doesn't give me inspiration at all and i can't work without it. i need to be inspired, that's what keeps us goin. even if i do think about other things, it wouldnt be enough to overpower the idea that manifested in me.

so what the hell am i talking about here, well it's for me to know and you to find out. i will be announcing what's up the april 24 crap, but it's too early to say it now. probably next month i'll be posting about it, although i already told a few of my close friends. im pretty damn sure they know what im talking about. as for now, i got to get my shit together and start moving.

p.s. i miss you so much, wenk!

what's been happening so far:

- medical exams and u.s. visa accomplished
finally, one week of waking up at 4am for st. lukes and us embassy has come to an end. what pissed me off is the looong lines for just 3-5 min. interviews and checkups. worse there was a time i qued for 4 hours, only to be informed to come back again tomorrow for a new schedule, what the *^&*%^&*)?!?!?!!!! i also did something dumb, really dumb and that's the reason why it took me a week just to finish the medical bs! curious about it? ask me in person. :)

- Rex Avila, my master, commander, teacher and my idol, finally called us up to report in toon city! at least he kept his word, he promised he'll be calling us around the 2nd week of januray but that didn't happen so i already gave up and started looking for a job. 2 weeks from now we'll report to toon city again as in-house freelance bg artists! naks pare! bago un! we'll doing bg's for their current project "Lilo and stitch", he gave samples for us to pracitce.

- The band's invited to play for another production set at Freedom Bar this saturday feb12, tickets will be sold for 100each. Sunday Machine will be playing with us and i have no idea who else will be playing. Pls do come, we need the crowd.

That's it, peace \m/

Album Review: Parokya ni Edgar - Inuman Sessions, Vol. 1

Bow! Bow ako sa bandang ito! napaka-tindi! napaka galing! kahit ma pa-live reocrding man o hindi ang galing ng tunog nila! walang sablay ang boses ni chito at ang bandang gumagaling lalo na paglasing! hehe! lupet ng lyrics! haha!

this album is a "must-listen-to", especially when youre down and need a good laugh. otherwise it's also good listening to it with your friends during an inuman session or road trips! this album is performed and recorded live at Unitel Studio A, Makati City. Parokya ni Edgar performed 17 songs from all their albums during a heavy inuman session, despite being drunk and all that, they still managed to keep their sound, especially Chito heheh. ang kulit talaga. They also had guests, Jay from Kamekaze in the song Okat-okat and Franic Magalona(kiko) in the song Yes-yes show. He also sang one his greatest hit Kaleidoscope World.

I suggest you get your own copy, its worth it!

Heres the lyrics to one of my favortie songs:

---------------------------------------------

Parokya ni Edgar
"Don't Touch my birdie"
Inuman Sessions, Vol. 1

Kapag ako'y nababato
Pinaglalaruan ko ang birdie ko
Ang cute-cute naman kasi
Kaya ko siya binili

My birdie is my best friend
Ang dami naming maliligayang sandali
Madalas ko siyang pinapakain ng birdseed
Mahal kita o birdie ko, 'wag kang lalayo

Don't touch my birdie!
Resist temptation please!
You don't have to grab my birdie
Just call it, and it will come!

Ang birdie ko ay nakakatuwa
Parang cobra na mahilig mantuka
Kapag nilabas na sa kulungan
Tuluy-tuloy na ang aming kasiyahan

'Di naman ako madamot talaga
Ayaw ko lang na hinahawakan siya ng iba!
Ang birdie ko ay medyo masungit
Konting hawak lang siguradong magagalit!

Huwag ka sanang magalit sa akin
Tuwing ang birdie ko ay aking hihimasin
Sana'y maunawaan mo
Mahal na mahal ko ang birdie ko
pati mga itlog nito!

Don't touch my birdie!
Resist temptation please!
You don't have to grab my birdie
Just call it, and it will come!

---------------------------------------------

napakagaling... napaka-tindi... maniwala kyo sana sakin... peace \m/

Medical exams are BS!

bullshit!

right now im in a middle of a medical turmoil, and its worse than enrolling and encoding(one of the worst experiences) at school. ive been going back and fourth to st. lukes med. center manila for 3 days already. i've nothing against how they conduct the tests/exams, in fact its quite organized but what irritates me is f*ckin long line! i arrived at the hospital around 5 am and the line is already... damn, you have to see it for yourself, take note that time my number was already 100+ or something... worst, i can't even sleep or i might miss my turn, thats the problem going alone. going to the bathroom was also a problem, i have to plan my trip to the throne and make it really quick!

this morning really pissed me off, i arrived around 530 am, dropped off my med reciept and waited for my name to be called. i waited, waited and waited... 3 hours passed. still nothing. i was about to give up, i was very sleepy and i need to unload my "brownies" badly. at first i thought they called me but i didnt hear, i also thought theyve lost my reciept or something. finally, they called my name around... 10:30!? wtf?! 4 hours?! only to tell me to go back tomorrow for a scheduled pschology exam! BULLSHIT! i was informed yesterday to comeback for immunization and where the hell did this f*ckin psychology exam come from? this routine has completly destroyed my schedule and potential interviews with other companies. however, its the most important as of the moment.

things haven't been going well this week, were suppose to have a gig tonight @freedom bar, but the vocals cant make it. shit, potential exposure pa yun.

got some new CDs as well:
1. urbandub - influence
2. thursday - full collapse
3. smashing pumpkins - gish --> lupet, grunge era pa to!

im pissed, im tired and i wana kill someone.

peace \m/
