the farewell

i'm closing this blog. i'm not going to delete my entries. that'll be like erasing more than a year of memories. i'm just not going to do blogs here anymore. i'm not gonna' stop blogging. i don't think i can stop because it's always the first thing i think of doing when i wake up in the morning. i'm just gonna' move it to somewhere a little private where i can get naked with my thoughts.

CiaO to the one or two readers of this blog. 'guess we'll just have to check up on one another through chat, eh? or text? :p Thanks for dropping by.

News Blues

* Rico Blanco had left Rivermaya, the band will keep the name and is currently auditioning for a new frontman. Rico on the other hand will apparently pursue a solo career. Their last gig was the gig Nina and i went to in Metrobar (former Kampo West) last May 4th - The Metrology II with Pupil and Sandwich. That night seemed to be really momentous; Rico's energy was so high. Little did we know that it was actually his last performance with the band that started his career. The band that he fought sweat and blood for to keep in the midst of the local music scene crisis. He went as far as releasing a FREE Album, literally FREE due to the rampant piracy.

* From the Inquirer's Sunday Article, A Mother's Day Special -- Vicky Cayago, single-mother to Una Aurea Cagayo-Buendia reveals the bliss of motherhood... " The society-induced 'stigma' of being a single mom/parent...Being one gives you this strange urge to make every moment count to fill the absence of the missing-in-action parent. Spontaneity became my middle name. I'd rouse Una at the crack of dawn to sneak off to the beach and watch the sunrise, collect seashells and broken glass. We would hie off to book sales, splurge on cheap books, go to our favorite diner/fastfood outlet, and spend a quiet afternoon reading while munching on fries and nursing our Coke floats. On other days, we'd sit in our booth and make up stories about the people across us, or sketch their profiles on our sketch pads. I would make boring meals interesting by turning off all the lights, and we'd have candle-lit dinners while conversing in fake British accents. We would read poetry to each other in the dark using flashlights, sit on rooftops at sunset and wait for the first star, stay in our pajamas all day on lazy weekends doing movie marathons, drop everything and waltz around the kitchen floor to the Beatles' 'Here, There, and Everywhere', and name all our inanimate possessions. I filled her memory with countless rain dances, endless morning cuddling sessions, cereal-fests, and talking late into the night until we fell asleep in each other’s arms."

That's just so fuckin' Sweet Can i be your daughter? hahaha

The Bohol Hung Over

(file missing) uh-Oh.

"high," still...

Tuloy ang ligaya!!

snippets

sunday. it's when we get a little laid back in the office. i try to catch some sleep in between calls. even spent my lunch time sleeping. but uh, i gotta keep myself up.. so let me tell you snippets of what transpired yesterday... uh, after my bro and o picked up our mother at the airport yesterday morning, we head to batangas right away. it's my grandparents' wedding anniversary. a lot of people came. mostly oldies. i met my gramp's only living sister for the first time! how cool's that? and then all the cousins took a picture together... while my Tita wept in the sideline... her favorite son died 2 years ago. maybe she was thinking, he could have taken that picture with us if he were alive---and all that drama. they still haven't resolved their personal demons yet. there were a lot of booze and music all around. the music was the most interesting part.. we definitely cannot relate. we've never heard those ditties before but the people seemed to know every note and lyrics of each song the band plays. it was like i was in a 60's party. hehehe. my cousin Donna's boyfriend was there. she was really busy looking out for him. and she powders her face every fifteen minutes. and our grandparents want us to settle down. unlike our parents. hahahah!

Last Friday, i went with Nina at the Metrology II gig in Metrobar. It was fun. really fun. i'm tired and iw anna go back to sleep so that's all i can say.

the Attack Of The Groupies, LOL

**cough** **cough** my throath still hurts a bit.

i ditched work last Tuesday night. how am i going to take calls? i got no voice. ruined by the evil phlegm. and it's dry. so it was fucking hard to speak or even breathe. i went to the clinic that night, the doctor was asking to breath in and out.. and i think i was gasping.. so he put me on nebulizer.. which actually didn't help.. so he signed me up a clinic pas that i can go home and that i only go back when i'm well enough. much to my Supervisor's dismay.. there was nothing she can do when i handed her that clinic pass. i mean, come on..i can hardly breathe for christ's sake!

so i don't have work. i take like 3 meds every six hours. an antibiotic, paracetamol for the fever, and neozep non-drowsy for the clogged nose. man, that's like 1, 500 mg every six hours... 6,000 mgh per day! holy macaroni... the person i know who takes too much meds was hospitalized last week... my roommate. well, bahala na si batman.. i need to take this evil phlegm off my system!

i am currently reading: The Pilgrim, by Paulo Coehlo. The book By The RIver Piedra I Sat Down And Wept inspired me a lot that i have to buy another Paulo Coehlo book.. it ignited the spiritual being that was just sitting in the corner of my heart. his approach to religion is very contemporary and deep... a friend of mine tells me she doesn't like Paolo Coehlo because he sounds like a preacher. i think that's why you read books. you surrender to whatever things they say. the choice is always up to the reader: to either understand it or not. in the case of my room mate, she chose not to understand it. he he he...

Gig post: PUPIL and SANDWICH will be playing at Metrobar (former Kampo West according to Bernz) this May 4. tickets are sold for 400Php. expensive but i think it will be worth it. i mean, Sandwich and PUPIL rarely plays together on the same gig.. if they do, they play like 10 bands apart! hahaha! this time the only Other band is RiverMaya.. hmmm.. the feud is there. Raims looks a bit unresolved with it. well, who wouldn't? after the much publicized PULP interview. i wish i can go to that gig though. i've been bugging Bernz to go because if he goes i go. hehe. It's going to be the ATTACK OF THE GROUPIES!!! ha ha ha

Also, speaking of Sandwich.. they have a gig at metrowalk this Friday. Bernz is going so i am going... Weeee! can't wait! screw my thoath problem! ha ha ha

summer blues

i am currently listening to The Dorques.

i think i'm sick. i can't take the heat. and there's no water at home. it's just so f*cked up. perfectly f*cked up. excuse my french.


i recommend you listen to The Dorques... i can't stop listening to them lately. but i admit, when i first saw then in Saguijo my ex came to my mind (cool, i can talk about him now .. hahah).. their vocalist was wearing this mexicano sort of hat.. and he was phat.. so... hahahah.. go figure. but it was so cool. my ex likes those mexican stuff.. especially the food..so... The Dorques also did a cover for Weezer's Sweater. only it was in french.. ha ha ha ha! and uh, he also liked Weezer.. i do too. so i love The Dorques. i don't make sense, don't i?

anyway, because it's so goddamn hot, everyone is rushing to the nearest airconditioned place. *sigh* i wish my place is airconditioned. maybe in the future.

"summer haze takes me back to those golden days
a black and white photograph
a captured moment of your laugh
sunny days eating ice cream
while i'm lost in the daydream
lingering seconds as our lips did part
did you really mean what you said at the start?
you made me laugh in your own ways
getting twited in the part with the happy mondays
i'm standing here with hardly anything to say
words just only get in the way
there's so much passion that we consumed do fast
how do i make that first kiss last?
i wanna go back to the eyes
the eyes that don't lie
murasaki blue
you were always true
i wanna go back to the start
where i was touching your heart..."

-Murasaki Blue, The Dorques


don't you just love that? it reminds me of Paulo Coehlo's book i'm currently reading: By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept. about childhood love. innocent and true.. which they came to realize after 11 years.

it's so hot! deym! i'm going to buy some slurpee...
