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...

summer blues

Life, lately

- why do all good things come to an end? - narda may have disbanded, but i am still in the process of exploring their music. currently i've been listening to their Swerte EP. I think it's the best amongst their 3 other EP's. they have grown so much musically. if you compare their EP's with Discotillion.. their last and second album, the difference is massive but not in a POP way.. POP way meaning the SELL OUT way. bands usually have this trend of selling out, but NARDA? no trace of evidence of trying to sell-out.. i guess that's what being indie is all about. making music without trying to please the BIG BOSS. or the MASA for that matter. unfortunately, people have to leave.. some spirit broke.. things happen.. and there's nothing we can do about it..

- Layla and Jai, sitting on a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G! he he he! read jai's blog today in multiply.. he said he's going out with layla to watch Spiderman. coolness. i think those two are really good for each other. it'll be a shame if sooner or later they don't find themselves back together. i know Jai had been in pain without Layla.. if he comments to this post and say otherwise.. don't listen to him... ha ha ha! he may not admit it but i need not reiterate the obvious.. he loves layla more than anything else. i think he just needs to tune up a little bit. take away some pride and all...

- SPIDERMAN. i'm so excited. didn't reserve a ticket at IMAX because i'm going to watch it for FREE! if our scores scale up, we're going to watch the movie at about the middle of May... company's treat. how cool is that? huh?

- fuck, I WANNA DIVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i miss the feeling of flying underwater... i wanna dive.

- my roomamate is in the hospital. kidney issues. she's now confined in Molino Doctor's Hospital in Cavite.. that's like 3 hours from here. too bad we can't go. :(

- my father's in town. so...

- Please visit my multiply site.. i think it's so neat.

- i am wishing and hoping and praying i can go to Bohol this May. i wanna get away from from here even for a while.

- ditched a date yesterday. i am sorry for what i have done ... err, sometimes?? hehe... it's just that i don't like dating anymore. i don't like meeting new people. unless it's only meant for friendship. i'd rather get drunk with my friends at 12 in the afternoon than get intimate with someone. Oh my.. this is a dilemna.

NARDAmageddon: And Huling Lipad Ng nARDA

"Why do all good things come to an end?"

---i hear Nelly Furtado singin'.



The NARDAmageddon event last night, April 12, in Saguijo (Guijo, Makati) marked the last gig of NARDA as a band. "We are NARDA, signing off..," i remember Katwo telling the audience that last night (three times last night). One lister posted that it's a bitter sweet goodbye; and Ryan Villena (drummer)said it was a perfect disbandment. Katwo even joked on stage that they will remain friends after NARDA, they're not going to be like some other bands who ignore each other rightafter and be interviewed in PULP.. hehehe.. we all know who she's talking about.. What i couldn't forget on that event though was when Katwo cried while singing "Kay Lab..."

kay labo mo
kay labo mo
kay labo mo...
gusto kitang halikan
kahit ako'y iyong tinatanggihan
gusto kitang iwanan
kahit ako pa ma'y masasaktan
gusto ko mang sumayaw
ngunit lagi kang umaayaw
gusto ko'ng bumitaw
ngunit lagi kang lumilitaw
kay labo mo
kay labo mo
i captured a bit of that moment on video. check my multiply site.




And of course, who would forget the serenade? in the formika album, there's a song entitled Nico. Nico is Katwo's fiance.. and she said last night she wrote that love song for him.. it was her bandmates though who requested to name the song after the person it's written for... then she requested Nico to go on stage then she sang that song to him... it's really romantic. a *kilig* moment. ha ha ha. Before Narda grabbed their instruments to play their first set, they showed the video of Gasolina to the public for the first time, so it turned out to be a Video Premier as well. Hrmm, isn't it ironic? they are disbanding but they're launching a video?! he he he. Anyway, the video's good.

I think I agree with Ryan, they disbanded gracefully. perfectly. Although it may really be painful for them. i think Goodbyes are. Before The Dorques and Switch played i had Ryan sign the 4 Narda EP's i got... so i asked him what his plans ae after NARDA, he said he currently has 4 bands now so i just have to pick whichever one i like. he he he. oh well, i will always love nARDA.

so... that completes my nARDA experience.

HA HA HA HA HA

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

Holy Friday Surfin

i'm going crazy at home. too much silence makes me think of all sorts of things. crazy things. i look over my kitchen window and pretend i'm an assasin with a rifle pointing at my target down the corner. i know, i watch too much assasin movies. i need a good coffee... well, later.


...sufin, surfin, surfin...

- i've watched 300. fuckin' great movie. if you've seen it, you gotta' take a look at this goofy stuff that some crazy web-geeks came up with. it's really funny.

- hmm.. if you're a major pinoyrock fan, you must have heard of Radio Active Sago Project's new album. It's a kick-ass album, i tell yah. it's Awesome! click here for the Review!

- and oh, have you heard of MArkus Highway? maybe not. uh, Eraserheads maybe? MArkus was the lead guitarist of that dufunct band. and uh.. he's back in the music business. well, he wouldn't leave the pride of being one of the Eraserheads to the three guys --- because he was an Ehead too, so he should get some attention too. and to tell you the truth this one is my favorite Ehead. I'm all infatuated with ELy but MArkus' wit definitely amazes me. i read on a magazine once, Ely said on an interview.. MArkus (was) the Soul of the E-Heads. hmm, interesting. so uh, to cut it short, here's Video i found amongst many videos... he he... it's his new song RakEnrol. i have posted on some entry here the vid he independtly released in YouTUbe... but this one is different, this is the demo version... and the video shows a bunch of guys Surfing. weee. i wish this was clearer though. click Here to see the Video.

24

i tried posting a blog on my Multiply site. but Uh, unfortunately it didn't work. some error of sort. that was a 3,000 and more character blubbery about being --- 24. i actually liked it. no, i Really liked it! it's a little disappointing that Multiply didn't cooperate. Oh well, I'm back to my Blogger.

someone that got away

i was flipping through Ge's blog. my crush's GF and i found this. Ugh, it's.. it's.. it's so cool.

=======================================
someone that got away


In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.....

Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.

So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you couldbe in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.
You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is the biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life. If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it.Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens... Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing. But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

Tissue, please... ha ha ha ha!


:D

SunbuRn!

it's Summertime Ageyn! before the whole summer shebang there's holy week and before holy week apparently there's my birth day which is oddly not worth talking about.. ;p

i have a new profession. i'm an official local indie bands stalker. hehe, i just thought of that when u was chatting with ron. and speaking of ron, he's a cutie and he's getting married to the love of his life... sweeetness! hehe. and oh, i have a new crush. however, while i was stalking him, i saw this picture of him and his gUrlfriend.. smooching. eeewww. pathetic! ha ha ha! chaii is jealous. anyway... he calls himself Eggboy. check out his music on my My Multiply page stangely named: death by biopsy (y so? long story). the Music Playlist is not named Eggboy but named Pedicab. he is also from Monsterbot, which is one of my favorite band and Cambio too, he has a total of 5 bands. Well, i saw him at the Tikam Ang Langit book launch. he looked lost in the middle of the crowd 10 minutes before this chic from Prettier Than Pink started playing. and it was love at first sight. i think. and i thought i heard someone say, to cure love at first sight, take a second closer look. ha ha ha ha ha! now i think i am pathetic.

so boys and girls. let's have fun this summer. watch this video from Sandwich - SUNBURN! he he. this is one of my favorites. you can definitely feel the summerheat just upon listening to this song.

shredding.. shredding.. shredding..
