naks ang ganda na ng blogger hehehe. i mean the posting interface...

thanks, ayn :) it really means a lot to me, your offer. i'm sorry if i seem antisocial right now. i know i should keep busy to forget about it but i'm doing that in other ways like looking for a job. pag kasama ko rin kasi yung candy, naaalala ko pa si chris kahit papano. pati pag naaalala ko si tristania huhuhu...

di. pero ok lang ako. thanks so much.

see what a lovely band we are?

Nothing much happened in Mayric's after Selena left. Moonstar 88 played after Candyaudioline. Ralph and I left in the middle of their set. I also had to be home early to finish some stuff.

Allan told us that night that there were some guys there who watched us and loved our set. He told us that these guys are also into bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. I think he went to Romeo's after the gig and met up with the manyak boys there.

I have been receiving some prank texts from this guy since last week. I call it "prank" kasi hindi ko talaga gustong nakakatanggap ng texts sa mga di ko kilala kahit wala yun intention na mang badtrip. Fan daw sha ng Candyaudioline at napanuod daw niya tayo sa Millenia. Yeah right. Siempre, I was being mean to that person. Kung may fans ang candy na gustong maka text ang isang member, HUWAG AKO. Maawa kayo sa sarili niyo.

That jerk texted that Roel gave him my number during one of our gigs in Millenia. When I asked Roel after our set sa Mayric's about that, he denied it. But he told me that he did give someone my number, but that was only last Sunday. He said it's some guy from a band called Purplechickens na matagal na DAW niyang kakilala. That's funny. I know the guys from that band, and if they want my number, they could just ask for it from me. Unless maybe, they're up to something. If they are, screw them. But I still need to confirm that. Pero anlabo kasi their vocalist has my number. In fact, he was with me when we played in Laguna for Dott's pa-gig last December.

But of course, we all know Roel's talent in making up stories. Either, nag mention lang sha ng kahit anong band na pinagbigyan niya ng number at ibang banda talaga ang pinagbigyan niya, or hindi talaga banda ang pinagbigyan niya at trip lang niya sabihin yon, or wala talaga shang pinagbigyan ng number ko at nag hahallucinate na naman sha. Nakakainis lang kung talagang may pinagbigyan sha ng number ko. Dapat lang sana, nagtanong muna sha sakin kung puede. Pero MAS nakaka inis kung wala talaga shang pinagbigyan at nag iimbento lang sha ng sasabihin sakin. Ilang beses na niya ginawa sa akin yun. Bastard needs to learn a lesson. Why can't he just shut his mouth up?? If he has nothing good to say, manahimik nalang sha. Tapos feeling pa niya close kami. Dream on. That punk ass. Sana... sana lang talaga... ganun kadali mag palit ng drummer. Sana lang.


Selena, we weren't exactly thinking that things are okay between you and Chris. If you saw us smiling, it was because of something else. I was actually worried because I already felt that something was wrong when I approached you both outside of Mayric's. Anyway, I know that it's none of my business. But if you need to talk to someone, I'm always here to cheer you up. No, that didn't sound right. I know very well that it's impossible to cheer up a person who is going through things that is not easy to brush aside. And I also know that things won't easily be better for anyone so I won't wish that for you either. Pero yun lang, if you need someone to talk to, I'm just here. I may not be able to offer you solutions to your problems, but what the heck.

And as for you Mister Allan Montero, matatapos na naman ang buwan ng Hunyo. Nasaan na ang EP?

We fronted for Moonstar88 and Parokya ni Edgar last night. I drove there with Chris instead of going with Ayn because I was still in UP with him when Ayn was on her way to our house. I still had to talk to Chris about personal stuff so I decided to bring him with me and bring the car, so I could leave with him as soon as candyaudioline was finished. Ironically, we got there earlier than everyone else. Chris and I were talking in front of Mayric’s when they arrived. They were obviously surprised to see us together… Chris said when they went inside, “Well, THAT was awkward.” They might have thought that we made up, because Ralph and Ayn were kind of smiling. Well, guys, not exactly. We just have to wait and see. But cross your fingers for me, please…

Medyo di kami tumugtog kaagad kasi hinintay yata ni Allan na medyo mapuno yung place tsaka para dumating na yung lahat ng Moonstar peeps. We did an ok set, although I think my voice kind of wobbled at certain parts because of my emotional state. I had to leave right away because we were both tired and we still had to talk.

I don’t know what happened to the rest of candyaudioline after I left. Ayn can tell you about it.

We practiced last night with Allan, Allan Montero’s old drummer from Aspirin, in the hopes that he could session for us on the weekends when Roel can’t come to gigs. He was ok, considering it was the first practice. Nandun din sina Lara, John Paul at Charles. Roel also made a surprise appearance somewhere in between songs. Nakakatawa kasi nagpapa-impress ang puta pag pinapa-demo namin siya hehehe. Baka natatakot siyang mapalitan. Hindi naman. We just need someone who can tide us over on weekend gigs. As it is, we haven’t been playing at the recent Buzz Nights and Roel usually has work on weekends because he’s being trusted more hehehe. So this is just for practicality. No line-up changes (At least, for now hwehehe…).

After practice we went to the Kamuning Pares place. Kumain kami, nagkuwentuhan… Ayn was doing her Spanish homework so everyone was trying to “speak” Spanish, too. La isla bonita, kaldereta la bamba arroz a la cubana en cuardo de aseo. Hah! Medyo inantok ako after a while kasi masakit na talaga yung mga mata ko so natulog muna ako sa van ni Ayn. Nagkuwentuhan pa sila habang tulog ako. Then we all went home.

Tonight, we’ll be at Mayric’s. See you there!

Wala pala si Roel, nasa Iloilo kaya malabo tayo mag Buzznight. Speaking of Iloilo, Si Jay ng Kamikazee nasa Millenia pala nung patapos na yung gig nung Thursday. Sabi nga niya sakin, papunta sha ng Iloilo that night. May hinihintay lang. Balak pa nga daw nila mag Boracay after. Sana naman hindi na sumama si Roel dun para tuloy ang gig natin sa Monday.

Sayang yung Buzznight pero ok lang rin. Wala naman kasi tayong practice so malabo tayo mag acoustic lalo na pag yung mga tahimik tutugtugin natin. Ako mismo feeling ko nakalimutan ko narin mga yun. Kadiri naman kung i acoustic natin yung mga maingay.

Ralph texted me this evening. May picture daw tayo sa bagong PULP pero isa lang. Siguro yung sa Summer Slam.

Napa develop ko na pictures natin sa St. Benilde saka yung pic namin ni Selena sa last gig natin sa Millenia.

See you all on Monday!

Last night Ayn took me to “Death is the Mother of Beauty”, a goth gathering of sorts. Actually, she tried to take me, but I chickened out at the last minute. See, it was held at Millenia. Haha. Here it comes again. Anyway, I won’t bore you with the gory details of my thoughts on Millenia. I just thought that I could innocently enjoy an event there with Ayn. When we arrived, I started thinking about unpleasant people and I realized that I couldn’t reconcile myself into entering the place. So, ignoring the pleads of Ayn (which made my heart bleed, I assure you), I bid her and Jarek goodbye and hopped into a taxi home. End of story.

Well, Allan texted me while I was in the taxi. He was actually heading to something near Ayn’s place in Fairview, and his taxi passed Millenia just at the exact moment my taxi was leaving it. He said he saw Ayn’s van in front of the place. For all we knew, our taxis were right next to each other at a stoplight. Text ko siya, “Astig hehehe”. He was telling me to bring Ayn to Fairview instead and that the M4 (Charles, John Paul, etc.) would be there later. Sayang. Nasa bahay na ako eh. Pero astig no?

I’ll make it up to you next time, Ayn.

By the way, we’ll be at Mayric’s on Monday. Allan said we might front for one of the Backbeat bands. I forget which. Oo nga pala. The question of the day is: Why isn’t candyaudioline lined up for Buzz Night?

Selena i'm so sorry about last night. I just realized that I did something wrong to you. It was really rude of me to invite you to Millenia for the Children of Shadows gig. I wasn't thinking straight. I thought then that it would have been nice to spend the night with you there. I also thought that you might be interested in seeing a different atmosphere (despite the event being held at Millenia). I was being stupid. It didn't occur to me until then that you were that affected with what happened to you there. My bad. I'm really sorry.

I guess "some" people there were surprised that I went back to that place. Well they can't do anything about that. I paid for the entrance and my drinks. Many good things did happen last night though, but they had nothing to do with candyaudioline. So I think it won't be right for me to jot them down here. I was just with my ex most of the time anyway and that wouldn't really interest any of you.

Something about Roel came up though. My friends were all concerned about me having Roel as a bandmate. They were asking me stuff like if we could tolerate him. They also told me some stuff about what Roel did to them. It wasn't a surprise that I'd hear those things about him. I can say that I pretty much know him by now. I also wasn't surprised that they'd ask me about him. Many people from that scene are actually pissed at that person and I can't blame them. I do get pissed at Roel too most of the time, but I could easily brush it aside unless he has done something unforgivable to me like that water dispenser issue (buti naayos ni Mike so I could forget about that for now). I also don't like it whenever he messes up with our rehearsals and gigs. Roel is Roel. I guess we could do nothing about that.

Selena sorry ulit.

I know I can say anything I want here. This time, it's not somebody imposing what i can or can't say. I choose to censor my own entries because I feel some parts may not be appropriate. They tend to get too personal sometimes and I don't want to be too transparent about myself. If I have personal problems-- of which I have a lot right now... too many!-- I don't want them to end up on the blog kasi makakabring down sa mga taong nagbabasa. I have my personal blog anyway. Basta... I'm just editing myself until I become comfortable with my own writing style.

Of course, this doesn't mean that you guys can't post your personal stuff here. Ako lang yung gumagawa ng choice na 'to. You're still free to do it :)

Thanks for the correction, Ayn :) Akala ko Putong hehehe. I only know him as Bird kasi hehehe.

Pahabol... you know Selena, I was just reading your last post and I think you should stick to your old ways. You shouldn't really refrain yourself from writing your own observations and opinions. It's not possible to be "objective" all the time most especially if you're writing on a journal. These are not articles that we have here. This is a friggin' blog, meant to be private and personal ( at least for Candyaudioline and that includes you). Yes it's on the net but still, who cares what other people might think? It's still a blog.

Ito suggestion lang, bahala ka kung ano talaga trip mo, you're the blogmaster here. Basta trip mo, at hindi trip ng iba. Wala namang taga Board of Censors dito eh. Fuck that.

Tignan mo yung mga sumunod na posts halatang wala na kami ma sabi at ma-react. It doesn't really matter kung may conflict tayo sa mga ideas on a certain subject. That should be expected because we're still individuals on our own even if we all belong to just one band. Parang marriage yan eh, kahit mag-asawa kayo, magkaibang tao parin kayo. It's not possible for both to be just one and the same person after getting married. That deprives you of your own freedom as an individual and that would mean death for you. I say it's always healthy to talk or debate about something. Yung iba kasi na mashadong pine-personal at pinapalaki ang wala naman, mga may sayad yun. Sablay na sayad (since lahat naman talagang may sayad). If you don't agree with something, then just express what you feel about it and that's it. I think it's a stupid idea for someone to try to impose something on you, most especially if that means depriving you from your own freewill to express your mind. That 's highly stupid, lalo na if it's coming from a person who should be knowing better than that by now.

Abaaaa... hindi yata gumagalaw ang blog ngayon... Himala..

Anyway, ang daming mga tao sa list natin ngayon ah.. Karamihan hindi ko kilala. Nami-miss ko na uli yung dati na tayo tayo lang ang andun.. Ngayon mejo hesitant na ako mag post ng mga bagay bagay na hindi maiintindihan ng iba (like "doggie doggie," manyak boys and stuff..). Ganon pala kadami ang fans---ni Ralph. Harharhar. Lagot, magsusumbong ako kay Charmaine. Teehee.

Wala na bang balita sa kendi? Kamusta ang EP? Matatapos na naman ang June.. Ano, record ulit tayo? Yung "My Silverchair" (extended version). Isang track lang. Para siguradong tapos.

Tugtog na tayo ulit bago maging regular ang pagde-date ko ngayon with _____. Alam niyo na, nawawala ako sa circulo tuwing nakakasama ko yun. Sige ingat, may date pa ako.

Baket nag text ka ba para mag yaya. Sige lang, I hope you guys have fun there. Nakakainis. Gusto ko tuloy ng crispy pata ngayon. Sige. Wee wee wee.

wwoo woo weeeeeeeehrrrkngorrrkkk weeeeeh.
i am betty... betty!!! nyaaahhh weeeeeeee...

ang tagal tumawag ng mga manyak boys... PUNTA KAMI NYMPHETS NGAYON!!! SAMA KAYO!

Diba Puto yun. Hindi Putong. Alam ko Puto si Puto eh. Hehehe. Oo nga astig yung design na ginawa niya. Sana tayo rin gawan ng ganun. Kakainggit.

Hehehe. Wee wee wee. Hehehehe. Wee wee wee.

Hay naku. You know what? I’m too weird.

I’ve resolved to differ my posting style and try as hard as I can to refrain from putting my personal feelings on this blog. I find that lately I’ve been becoming weirder and weirder with my posts. I don’t think I’m being the “objective blogmaster”, as I had promised at the beginning of this blog. I’m scaring myself. Too much angst and hang-ups. I have a personal blog, after all. So, from now on, I’ll stick to the facts. I’ll allow myself a side comment or two, but only if it is directly related to something that actually occurred in candyaudioline’s experience. I want to stick to reporting and make everything pure and true and unadulterated by my skewed perceptions. As I said, I know this may not be possible, but I’ll try to give candyaudioline readers the information they deserved. Heehee.

Ayn, Ralph and I arrived at Mayric’s a little after 10 pm and so they had to prepare for the set right away. Allan and Roel were already there. While they were doing the soundcheck, I had time to observe the new Mayric’s. It’s very red and very well-lit. It looks considerably cleaner… a bit more…ahem… respectable as entertainment establishments go. But the improvements they made were not bad at all. They have new equipment, a bigger stage and bar, and—more lights! Ack. The lights made me feel a little uneasy, though. I can’t transcend the crowd anymore while we’re performing… I’m forced to see their faces and this makes me even more nervous. It almost feels like I’m starting over again. But the lights did take away the grimy feeling Mayric’s had. Even if Mayric’s seems a lot less “underground” because of them, at least it looks cleaner :)
Anyway, the best thing they did while renovating the place was to take the tops of the old tables and hang them up on the walls. Yep. Remember how bad we all felt when we discovered they had the tops of the tables replaced with black formica? Well, there’s nothing to worry about because now the old works of art will be immortalized on the walls of Mayric’s. This is even better because we can look at them for as long as we want and admire their artistry, as well as their significance in the bar’s history. Naks.

We played around 5 or 6 songs. Ralph’s amp kept losing volume in the middle of the song, but Allan had taped our set and we didn’t notice anything bad, except for the usual tiny little mishaps. Weedisneys played after us and Ralph, Allan, Ayn and I rushed to Marikina where Allan had to oversee a Moonstar 88 set. I think Allan and Ralph we’re talking about possible steps to take for the EP and the band in general on the way. After Marikina, we went back to Mayric’s and waited for Cheese to finish (around 2 am). All of us looked tired from lack of sleep, but we decided to go ahead with our movie watching at Ralph’s new place. Roel had to bring Jenny home, though. We passed by Allan’s house to get some vcds and we also ate at the famed Marlet’s. Yum.

Ralph’s place is cute. It’s bigger and nicer than where he and Charmaine used to live, and they have the unit to themselves. We watched Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. It was really funny, except I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore after 20 minutes from sheer exhaustion. I just went upstairs and rested. After the movie, I think the three of them talked for a while, then I went down so Allan could show us something. It was the design Putong of Kamikazee had made for the Backstab shirt. He really got them all well… especially Allan and his khaki jacket and wad of money hehe. Gilbert looked a little weird, but you could tell it was him because of the fried chicken leg he was clutching. It was really cool. Putong is talented. Wish we had something like that for candyaudioline.

We left Ralph’s at 6:30 am and went home. I slept until 12 noon.

A while ago, I was trying to work Soulseek but it wouldn’t connect. It said that the server may be down. I hope someone can help me with that. I think that was around 8:30 pm or 9.

Heyo! So we practiced last night, except not at Mang Sam’s. Roel’s landlord, JC, celebrated his birthday last night and he invited us to play there. We played there last year, too, so we decided to get some free practice out of it.

We had to meet Allan and Roel at Intramuros at around midnight. Kamikazee and Parokya had something going on there. So Ayn picked me up at around 11:30, we picked up Ralph, then made our way to Intramuros. Then, the proverbial Groundhog Day began for us. The Intramuros gates we knew were closed and we kept calling Allan for directions on how to get in. To make it short, we went around and around the Liwasang Bonifacio-Taft-Padre Burgos area looking for a way to get to the elusive Lawton-Pier entrance of Intramuros. If I got the names of my areas wrong, sorry… that’s exactly the reason why we got lost. No, wait… RALPH is the reason we got lost, hehe. Anyway, the irony of it all was that, just as we finally entered Intramuros, Allan’s van was driving out the gate. He told Ralph that we were to meet at Mayric’s instead. Auuuugggghhhh.

So we headed on to Roel’s place. Who could forget the great food and the lamay-next-door from last year’s party? When we arrived, everybody was drunk and most were half-naked. They were screaming, “Tugtog!!! Tugtog!!!” and people started frantically setting up the stage on the next-door lot. But I have to hand it to them-- for drunks, they seemed pretty well-behaved once the nu-metal started. They were politely sitting down and appreciating the music. The experience was initially scary, though, but we felt we owed it to Roel to play as we promised.

When it was our turn, most of the people left, but that was fine for us. They took time with soundcheck and I got to sing without fuss. The Manyaks said we sounded good, except for the vocals that couldn’t be heard, but that was ok, considering the makeshift set-up. Sang “My Silverchair”, “Nothing Much to Lose”, “Discarded Toy” (everyone loves that song, next to “Flaming Walls”), and “Empty You”.

Sat around and talked for a while. Allan was being paranoid about our Millenia entries. He doesn’t want people to be saying his bandmates are a bunch of inconsiderate whiners. I understand his concern, but I feel that I voiced out my aggravation in a fair manner. If you all look at my previous entry on that Millenia incident, I did say that not all the people at Millenia are boors to their PAYING customers (Tiffany was very concerned about my distress). The only thing I said that bad-mouthed all of Millenia was the “overpriced food and mediocre service” bit. But you know what, I really feel that they have overpriced food and I think I am still entitled to say that, Allan. The fact that this happened to me just made me want to finally say it out loud.

But, for Allan’s peace of mind, I WILL clarify some things about Millenia. Before this incident, Allan says that Millenia had treated us nicely, and I agree… they gave us a free beer each when we played there once. The waitresses there never bothered us before and they did let us play as loud as we wanted, though reluctantly. The entrance used to be P30 I think, which is a pretty fair price. All of these were the reasons why, just before our last gig there, I was highly recommending people to go to Millenia. I felt it was a musician-friendly place, not to mention the funky inca-like, cozy-hole-in-the-wall feeling it gave.

However, this opinion changed for me when that lady, whose name is CLAUDINE and is supposedly someone in charge there at Millenia, pissed me off with her stupid policies. Look—people may think I’m making a big deal out of this, but bad service is really a pet peeve of mine, and you just have to bear with my shit. SHE IS IN A SERVICE-ORIENTED BUSINESS. This means she has to be polite to her customers; and I don’t just mean in the way she talks because she said things politely, but INSISTENTLY—I mean that even her actions must put the well-being of her customers first. Isn’t that fair to ask of someone who you’re paying to be of service to you? And, yes, a forty-peso iced tea (two, in fact) does include service charge… o kahit simple consideration man lang.

Fuck it.

O eto na ha… I don’t have complaints against Millenia the place (except for the price) and most of the staff. I just want to say that it’s this Ms. Claudine and that other waitress (who probably was just ordered to bug us) who really tick me off. If you need one reason not to go there, it’s because of that Claudine lady. If you need two reasons, well, to be honest, it’s her and the prices there. If you need three reasons, sorry… I can’t give you another one, and you can go on ahead and patronize Millenia because the rest of them there are ok.

Can we just please forget this already? Sorry, Allan, pero medyo naasar ako na we had to resurrect this again. Nabuking tuloy ako na it’s such a big deal to me hehe. But, seriously, I would’ve let it go already if you hadn’t been so worried about what other people think. Frankly, I don’t think readers are as stupid as to need all this clarification. And I have the right to express my opinion, even if it’s to the detriment of an establishment. Don’t you think that I can discern what is appropriate to say and what isn’t? Maybe through my rantings, they’ll try to do something about that person, if you say that a lot of people have complained about her. You’re the one who made me blogmaster, anyway.

Basta. Bad trip yung babaeng yun. Kasi pati tayo as a band naapekto.

********************

Grabe naman si Roel. Alam naman niya siguro na nagmamadali tayo that time. And we had no idea na susunduin natin sha that day. So we weren't able to plan kung saan tayo dadaan muna. He didn't inform us then na dadaan pa tayo sa kanila. He only told us that when we were already on the way to Benilde. If he only informed us a day before, we could've planned to be on the road an hour earlier. Labo.

Yessss, I am so panicking about my thesis. Kung vampires lang, i'm sure it started in Europe. The very first vampire literary work, which was written in poetry form, was from Germany. "Der Vampir" by some guy named Howard. Pero kung Horror in general, I'm not that sure if it started in Europe. If I remember it right, HP Lovecraft is not European. Ewan. I just hope, I'd be able to organize my thoughts regarding my thesis. Wish me luck.

See you all tonight sa practice. After midnight noh? Siguro naman dadating na si Roel ontime and hindi lasing ngayon. Haay. At sana ok ang set natin tomorrow. I miss Mayric's. I'm sure mang Oscar missed me too. Hahahah. Newly-renovated pala ha. Let's see... :)


Ayn Ruth Baudelaire +

Talked to Allan yesterday. We talked about Roel because I hear that he’s still sore about us not bringing him to his house last Friday night. I can understand… we get to pass by everyone’s house when it’s necessary—why not his? Well, that night we were in a hurry and I think it was fair that we didn’t pass by that time. Anyway, he seems to be a bit ornery lately. Hopefully we can smooth things out soon. Allan also gave me advice about Chris. I guess I should be more tolerant. I can’t believe I actually need to tell myself that now.

Ayn and I ym-ed each other a while ago, too. She’s worrying about her thesis a bit. Well, I’m sure she’ll be able to find more european works of horror. I think that’s where written horror started anyway. She said she’s going to the mall this afternoon to buy school supplies. It’ll be just like grade school--- the smell of fresh notebook paper, the satisfying precision of wrapping your books in plastic, the conquest of labeling your books with your name… ahh, yes.

Today, I took an exam for work. It was just tiring to commute, but I don’t mind. I have to get serious sometime.

Tonight, we might have practice. Tomorrow night we’re playing at Mayric’s, everyone. Attention, Listers! We have a gig. Sigh. Good, old, lovable, just-renovated Mayric’s.

Beethoven: Music is a dreadful thing. I don't understand it. What does it do?

Schindler: It exalts the soul.

Beethoven: Utter nonsense, if you hear a marching band, is your soul exalted? No, you march. If you hear a waltz, you dance.
If you hear a mass, you take communion. It is the power of music... to carry one directly into the mental state...
of the composer. The listener has no choice. It is like hypnotism.

**************

Merong sumasayaw sa goth. Lalo na pag industrial or waltz ang beat (kadalasan sa neo-classicism). But of course, we dance differently. Some even hiss (showing their fangs) after a band plays to show how they appreciate the sound, instead of just clapping their hands.

Sa case ng candyaudioline, bihira sobra ang meron sumayaw (or mag react in any other way), pag pumalakpak pilit pa, mainly because astounded pa ang mga tao at napag-iisip, "chong, may pagka bading ba si Allan? Hindi nga."


Happy "indie" pendence day rin sa lahat.

physical reaction to music is the same as how a person would to a certain sonic stimulation/situation or aural sensation. people will dance to techno, disco, funk, samba/bossanova/calipso/cha-cha and rock & roll because of the beat... headbanging, moshing at slamdancing naman ang reaction sa metal (mapa-heavy, speed, grind o death pa yan) , hardcore/punk/emo/ska (new & old skool a like) and grunge because of the energy that comes out of the music... jazz naman mostly taken sitting down therefore illiciting toe or foot taps, finger snaps and a little head bobbing. R&B and hiphop naman ang dahilan kung bakit maraming nabubuntis ng maaga... as for indierock and indiepop is a breeding ground for unconventional body movements and pa-cute dancelike gestures... sa shoegaze naman (sama na natin ang noisepop/dreampop/goth/ethereal/darkwave/softcore/60's psychedelia/ambient-trance-chill-out) iba... sa loob ang epekto to the point that when you're hit hard, it puts you in a motionless state of being most of the time. the sound that these musical forms create plays with the mind...

oo nga pala... wala lang!!! happy INDIEpendence day to everyall of you!!!

I think those guys from Asian Dub Foundation have puny little minds. Their heads couldn't grasp what shoegaze really is. Main reason why they find it boring. It's like me, not liking Mathematics. My mind couldn't grasp it enough, that's why I think it's boring. These people have just proven themselves to be too shallow to know shoegaze. Much as they did themselves a favor by saying that on air, they did us too a favor by implicitly stating that despite their being a good band, they're still not up to the shoegaze standards. I should know because I used to be as stupid as them before.

One thing I can say, you can never be against something you don't understand. By simply saying that something is boring, it just goes to show that you know nothing about it and better shut your mouth up. Unless maybe, you think that it would be oh-so-important to confirm your stupidity in public (or on inter/national TV for that matter).

They think they are "the best UK band". Maybe they really are, but only in certain parts of UK that they recognize. Because frankly, I know very well, that ADF was never the best UK band. They're just trying to pull-off another one of those stints like what The Beatles ("We're more famous than Jesus Christ") and Oasis ("We're more famous than The Beatles") did. Look what happened to them in the end. And they were far better and more famous than ADF.

I admire ADF for their guts no matter how trying hard they are by thinking that they could pull this shit off succesfully. They may be good, but definitely not the best.

Well, who cares if they are a bunch of imbeciles? I still like the band.

As for the Sandwich issue, yes, you do have a point there. I actually did Sandwich a favor. And even if their albums are so disposable, the possibility that you presented could happen. Possible yes, but I'm just not sure if it's likely to happen. Might but still unlikely. For me, they belong to the roster of bands that include After Image and Introvoys. People will be embarassed to admit that they once listened to them as years pass by. Hence my line in the article. It really was an insult to be likened to them. I bet they are aware of that already. (and I could definitely go on and on stating point by point on how they really are rather than just saying that they're plain boring..but why waste time and effort on something that is already common knowledge?)

Anyhow, that's not my problem anymore. But I guess they should thank me for the favor. It's bad manners not to do so. :)

I just had an epiphany today. You know MTV Alert? Well, they were featuring the Asian Dub Foundation there. I like Asian Dub Foundation. They were interviewing Pandit G and he said they were the best live band in the UK. He said it’s because most UK bands are boring. So boring, he said. “We call them ‘shoegazers’ because they just play and look at their shoes.” I was laughing so hard. Even if he was dissing shoegaze, I was screaming to my sister, “That’s US! He’s talking about US! Hahahaha!”

You know what? I don’t really mind him saying that. So shoegaze doesn’t float his boat. That’s understandable. I still like ADF and I respect their opinions because they’re fantastic musicians. In fact, by saying that, he unwittingly did a service to us by educating kids overdosing on MTV about shoegaze. Sure… their first impressions on shoegaze will be “boring” because Pandit G says so, but at least now, they have a name for it. Most people who watch candyaudioline and don’t like us because we’re so blah on stage only think, “I don’t like them because they’re so boring.” But now, since they have a term for it, they’ll know we’re boring because we’re adhering to a certain type of music—i.e., shoegaze! And maybe some of the kids who like ADF and watched that MTV Alert thing will be curious about shoegaze, start listening to samples of it, and will maybe even start to like us! Galing.

Isn’t it great how everything in the music scene is actually interconnected? You can’t diss someone without calling attention to them. I remember indie AJ was laughing at some ska that was playing on the Freedom Bar speakers… I listened and thought some of it actually sounded fun. I’m sure some people who’ve read the article on us have brought out their old Sandwich albums to see if we really sounded like them, then rediscovered their like for them. Ganun lang naman yun di ba? One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Haha… I think I feel the same way about that, Ayn. Sayang pala na hindi ako nakasama sa sa inyo last time. Bad trip. Pero kailangan ko talagang kausapin si Chris nun kaya ok lang din. Basta next time sama niyo na ko ha!

Pero… when are we going to have enough money to release our EP with all this libido spewing out of our ears?? Hehe… kidding. I know that we’re really just trying to look for a less expensive but quality means of production. Sigh. Or maybe that’s just an excuse to refrain from sending out a “crummy-sounding” EP— DI BA, ALLAN? Maganda naman EP natin eh, huhuhu…

Anyway, I have nothing to say right now. Just whiling away the time before I watch a movie with my sister on the PC. Wala naman kasi akong ginagawa ngayon dahil wala pa akong trabaho and everyone else has something to do: Allan and Roel have work, Ayn has school, and Ralph has his toys at home hehe. Me? I’m just postponing jobhunting because I’m still a bit scared to death. I just have to calm down. I’ll get up off my ass later ;)

Last night, Erick, one of the listers, messaged me while I was sending Ayn her scanned pics of Tristania. He was asking if there were any gigs up. Told him how short notice we always were and that we’ll always post them on the blog if we’re notified early enough. Haha! Well, ganyan talaga kami sa candy…

Wow, dumadami na rin ang listers! Yehey!

don't worry ayn... d kami pissed-off, ibahin mo kami, lalu na ako... sinama ko kayo dun because i want you girls to the place na sobrang bukang bibig namin and at the same time gusto namin kayong makasama... wala kaming tinagong gawain namin... plano talaga naming mag-table ng babae doon pero wala kaming ma-typan and also kulang sa budget... kung may pera lang ako, gusto ko talaga lahat tayo. from eloha to roel...

To hell with Millenia, man.. As I already informed you online and through text, I posted a message sa Buzznite mailing list and told them how Millenia is and took some excerpts from your post here. Screw Millenia.

Anyway, yesterday's gig at Benilde was okay. Ralph, Sir Charles, Selena and I were on the road to Benilde by 4:30 pm. Ah oo nga pala, sumama rin si Roel sa atin from Universal Records pero shempre sumablay nanaman sha. And this time pati si Ralph nainis narin. Si Roel kasi mukhang ewan. Basta nagpababa sha somewhere in Morayta to get his tool box and sticks. Hindi pa kasi dinala. Tapos kami pa talaga ang mali.

Sobrang traffic along Kamuning and in Manila area. We arrived at the venue around 7 pm i think. Hassle pa sa location ng parking. Paikot ikot kami sa Taft. Buti nalang naka kain na kami sa Mc Do (beside La Salle). Siempre while we were at the area, reminiscing ako ng past moments ko sa lugar na yon. Yihee to me.

Nakakainis lang kasi busog na ako eh may libreng food pala sa..what was it called?--function room? Basta, that "band room." We did a great set. Or should I say, Candle Audio Line did a great set. Hehehe. Also Soft Pillow Cases. Eric (of Tracks) was there too but he wasn't able to watch us because his band had a gig at Kafe. Shit naalala ko na naman si Roel nung inaasar niya ako dun while we were recording at Tracks. Baka isipin ni Eric I have the hots for him or something. And Eric must have found that kind of freaky because during that time I obviously looked 8 months pregnant. Kaya for the rest of you who must have thought that I was demure and all during the whole time that we were recording at Tracks, sa totoo lang nagpipigil lang ako nun. Si Roel kasi ay isang mangmang.

Going back to the Benilde gig... we only got to play four songs (or was it five?). Basta bitin.. We left the venue then went straight to Paranaque. Allan had to meet up with Dott and Arnel of Skies of Ember to get something. Lara and I wanted to drink, so we bought Mompo (that spanish sacramental wine) at that convenience store where we met up with the two guys. We hung out for a while then we left for Marikina where Allan had to attend to his Backbeat obligations. Before going to Marikina, we had to drop Selena off to her place first because she had to be home early. Then we went straight to Riverbanks. There was an NU summer-ender gig there.

When we left, Roel and Emerson took the ride with us. Also, my very good friend Richard Tan. Heheh. We missed each other a lot. We talked about stuff that we liked while we were on the road. Hehehe. We dropped the three someplace I forgot.

So the rest of us, went off to that infamous whorehouse where the Sirs go to regularly. But before that, Charles had an emergency and was desperate to go to the john. Pinagbigyan namin.

When we arrived at "the" whorehouse, ayun, we were greeted by these 15-16 year old looking nymphets (kaya pala nymphets at hindi nymphs), clad in short short skirts. Once they move an inch, you could see their buttcracks. Of course they couldn't care less about that because they all had to dance at the center of the videoke space, wearing only their undies. Much to the surprise of the Sirs, the last one who danced, literally stripped herself naked at the center while doing her thing. Charles told me that he had never seen anyone do that before. (I was thinking then, "kasi andito ako." Heheh) Usually they were just in their undies but they never went topless and all. Obviously, our eyes were all glued at her.

The place was okay. Good service (way better than Millenia of course). I'd rather pick that place anytime than go to Millenia. We had brandy, sisig and crispy pata (yung pagkain talaga ha). Sulit yung food. Pero siempre, we couldn't really concentrate on eating while those "girls" were dancing seductively to the tune of "Dying Inside" or some other mainstream disco/rn'b/love song (na hindi ko na kayang marinig ngayon without remembering those chicks).

I know the rest of my companions were kinda pissed at me, because I wouldn't sing. Dude, ayoko talaga. I hope you understand. I wasn't that drunk enough. Maybe if I get more drunk, I might sing. Might. I'm really sorry if I was that killjoy. But if you'd ask me if I had fun, I really did and to tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to seeing those girls again. Really.

Don't get me wrong. They're not exactly my type. If I had to go to bed with another woman, I don't want that woman to look like any of those girls. If I were to get laid with a chick, I would want her to be more whore-ish but not innocent looking like those women from that place. I want someone who has more spunk, if you know what I mean. Though if I get drunk enough, I might consider taking that chick who danced last, to bed. Only if she wraps her face with plaster. But then again, since i'm drunk, I might not care after all. I don't know.

That night, I was actually thinking that if I had a man lover who frequents those type of places, and he has the guts to bring me there, I might consider having a threesome with him and whoever he likes from that whorehouse where he goes to. Provided that I am also attracted to that chick. To their misfortune, none of my ex's ever confessed to me that they visit that type of place--or maybe, none of them really had the guts to admit to me that they really do frequent whorehouses. Oh well, that was their loss.

As for the sirs, since I'm not really attracted to any of them and only see them as friends, I still couldn't imagine what they do there whenever they're alone at that place. I bet you guys were so bad trip that Lara and I had to tag along. You didn't get to do what you usually do there. Whenever I consider the idea of trying to imagine what they actually do there, I feel like I have to vomit. So i'd rather not think about that. As in-- yuck pare. Ewan bahala kayo.

I got home around 4 am. I wasn' t that drunk that night unlike last Thursday at Millenia. Last Thursday, I had three margaritas and four beers. Pasalamat kayo Millenia at pinapatulan ko ang inumin niyo tapos ganun lang pagtrato niyo sa kabanda ko. Pakyu all.

Last night was our first gig in a little over a month and it was good. We were so excited to play together again, and also a bit nervous because our last practice was a disaster. Thankfully, Roel was ok. Thankfully, my voice was ok. Everything was ok during our set. Some people even clapped, though that was just probably the manyaks plus eloha and popoy. Still, I think people enjoyed the set. I did… but I was really nervous all throughout. I think my stage fright came back a little. Well, I got the feel of it after a few songs. I was especially proud of “Nothing Much to Lose”. I think I’ve finally mastered the proper way to sing it without putting too much strain on my throat. Ralph and Allan seemed pleased about the set, too.

I showed everyone the member profiles I did and they liked it :) Except that Allan insisted that he didn’t know how to breakdance. Hoo. Asked him to show my sisters the Strut after our set. Reluctant pa siya, but he had to give in. It was delightful. Anyway, I just had to change one sentence for clarity and add another band to Roel’s list. In a few days, Ralph will probably be able to post the profiles on the site and you’ll see how accurate my descriptions are, especially Roel’s hehe.

It was nice last night… except that the management of Millenia really sucks. I’m sorry, Millenia, but you really have to work on your customer relations and not put profit first before service. It’s highly unethical. Anyway, my sisters and I ordered a few iced teas as courtesy to the fact that Millenia doesn’t have a cover charge anymore. So we had a table to ourselves near the cashier… I guess we were thirsty because we finished our iced teas before the candy set started (we were 2nd). The waitress took our glasses and wiped our table right away. A few minutes later, one of the other waitresses comes to our table and shows us the menu. We shake our heads, indicating we weren’t ordering… but she insists by taking a flashlight and shaking a light over the damn piece of cardboard. We shake our heads again, then she asks if we’re from the band. I say that I am and that we had ordered already. She goes away. After our set, I sit down with my sisters and we’re talking happily about the performance when this lady comes and asks us if we’re ordering. I tell her we’ve already ordered. She asks if we’re still going to order. We’re not. She says, “why don’t you move to where your bandmates are sitting? Customers might come in and we’d like to let them sit down at a table and give them a chance to order… if you’re not ordering anymore, that is.” Allan senses something so he asks what’s up. She tells him. He says I’m from the band. She repeats her request to him. He looks around and says, why not make them move when there are customers already? She starts to protest, but I, thinking that customers were already waiting, offer to move anyway. So my sisters and I just take three chairs and stick to the wall. By this time, I’m already starting to mull over the injustice of making us move—we were paying customers, too! Then I noticed that it had already been five minutes and no one was sitting at the table we had vacated!!! Fuck that freaking shit. I was so angry… just because we didn’t look like we were ordering anymore, why did she have to treat us like second-class citizens?! I only agreed to move because I thought that there were customers who needed a table badly. What if I weren’t part of the band—what if my sisters were customers there on their own? She wouldn’t have asked them to move… or maybe she would have because they weren’t going to order anymore! I wanted to walk out right then and there.

I went outside to tell Allan and Ralph that I wanted to leave because of the insulting treatment that lady was giving us. And to think we actually ordered just to be courteous! Never mind that we only ordered iced tea… by doing so, we were still patrons of the establishment and were therefore entitled to our own table! So I was telling Allan all this and Tiffany, who is part of Millenia, noticed I was fuming. She asked us if there was anything wrong and Allan explained. She gave profuse apologies, which gave me the impression that she wasn’t aware that customers were being treated this way. Her companion commented, “Oo nga, bad trip yung ganyan, pare. Nakakawalan ng gana. Pagsabihan mo yun.” I calmed down after seeing that not everyone at Millenia is totally devoid of good manners… her sympathy was almost enough to soothe me. Almost. She explained that Millenia had hired new management or something like that and that there have been complaints from other people. Anyway, I decided not to leave after all. I did decide to go and eat at the Pares place across with sina Allan. That’s the last time I patronize that resto bar. Overpriced food and mediocre service. Bah.

Thank God. Allan said that Millenia is planning to have just showbands there by July 2003. Good riddance.

We weren’t able to go out after that because nobody had much money left. Indie Jeff was pleading with us to come eat, but we had to go home. Tonight na lang. We have a gig at Benilde. See you Benilde people there.

Allan called me up kanina and asked me whatwas up with all my depression. I told him. It’s deeper than you guys think, though. I don’t think I can bring myself to talk about it. It’s on my personal blog though, the closes thing to talking about it, that is. Don’t worry. I’m not going to do anything stupid. I may snap out of it in a while. Maybe. Thanks for the pep talk and insights, ayn and allan.

Right now, I’m doing the member profile. Yahoo. Ralph’s and mine na lang. Si Ralph naman kasi napaka deep hehehe. Ang hirap.

Mamaya sa Millenia.

I think what you're going through now Selena, is normal. Everybody goes through that stage one way or another. Writer or not. With me, i'm more of going through existentialism angst for the past 4 years. But i'd rather keep that bottled inside myself than flaunt it around. Unless somebody starts a conversation with me about it. As for the "writer" thing, I couldn't really comment on it because many writers could write about being neurotic and such without experiencing it at the same time. They just narrate their past experiences (take note on "past")--that's why it's in narrative form.

I say, it's better to be depressed than repressed.

Lighten up dude.

Hey, thanks, guys :) That thing about dadaism really helped me, ayn. Also the "get the message across" thing, allan. gosh. I feel better now.

I still haven't finished the member profile. sorry. writer's block. i'll try to have it ready by tomorrow's gig, though. don't worry.

you know what, maybe i AM meant to be a writer. i'm certainly neurotic, depressed and suicidal enough. not that writers need to be like that, but it's enough fuel to be one. you need to be slightly crazy to try to fuck with other people's minds. never mind. forget about being a writer-- it's a struggle enough to be a decent person. i just read over some of my old journals tonight and realized that i've always had this very dark side of myself hidden under my smiles and cheery optimism. it's sad to find your true self out like this. "This has been kept a secret from me by my own self???? Shitty bitty fuckeroo." (insert despaired slump into deep,plush, blood red armchair)

Tangina. I don't know what's happening to me. What a delayed crock of teenage-angst bullshit. hello? i should really get real. society requires it of me.

No need to be paranoid about your minor grammatical error, Selena. I think people wouldn't really notice it. Unless, they would take time to do workshop on the article, which is unlikely. I think Joey made more obvious grammatical errors on it. And nobody really cares. As Allan said, as long as one could understand what is being said, the grammar wouldn't really matter that much. I'd rather prefer that anytime than going by the book and in the end, nobody would really get what i'm saying. The article does not require an academic approach anyway. It was an informal interview.

In addition to that, if you're conscious about your being a CW graduate, the Dadaists, the post realist and meta theater writers already gave our generation an excuse to have grammatical errors. It was part of the Dadaist principles which were stated in Tristan Tzara's and Andre Breton's manifestos. ("dada tries to find out what words mean before using them, from the point of view not of grammar but of representation...") I hope that would make you feel better.

Yeah, i guess you're kinda messed up. I don't mean it as an insult. Did the Taka drinks do anything to you? Or should we blame HP Lovecraft? Hmmm...

On a lighter note, I had so much fun last Tuesday. Now I understand why Frida caught Marra Lanot's attention years ago when she went on vacation to visit some Latin American countries. Hmmm...

I loved the Taka Honey Green Tea. I would surely get some drinks there again when I go back to Galleria. Let's watch another movie soon. Hopefully kasama narin natin sila Allan.

See you all tomorrow night!


"I destroy the drawers of the brain and of social organization..." -Tristan Tzara, from "Dada Manifesto"

“…scoffing at the term is just bad as glorifying in it,” ---- okey naman yun ah... aztig nga eh! sa akin kasi, ang Pangungusap ay lupon ng mga salita na nagsasaad ang isang diwa, fuck the rules, as long as it gets something acrosss, okey na yun... don't forget... tayo ay napapaloob sa TEXT GENERATION - where everthying is right and wrong at the same time... WEEEEEEEEEEEH! kita kits sa thursday!!!

HAHAHAHAHA, Ayn! Roel talaga… nasabihan ka na nga na may practice that night. But what am I writing this for?-- you don’t even look at the blog. And it’s no use addressing you through the mailing list either because you’re not even a member! Sigh. I guess he’s just not the type to “surf the IT wave”, hehehe. Just talk to him in person, everyone.

I was supposed to repent and finally write about Sunday night’s practice, but Ayn beat me to it. Damn. That must mean I really am an ass about my posting duties. Sorry. I’m undergoing a pre-life crisis at the moment. Post-graduation anxieties. Buti sana kung mabubuhay ka sa pagbobokalista lang. So yun. Ngayon lang ako na-motivate to do something remotely productive (even if, in the grander scheme of the universe, this is worth diddly-squat). Okay, I’ll cut my angsty crap now. :/

I’ll just talk about today. Ayn picked me up this morning so I could help her register at UP. I can’t believe I don’t have to do the same thing anymore. It’s both liberating and sad… oh, and scary. Ayn had a slight problem with her reg material. As usual, Filipino efficiency at its finest. But hey… the university never has enough funds to pay people to do things right, so it’s not entirely their fault. Anyway, Ayn had it fixed. I had originally planned to take care of my own university issues, too, but lunch break was coming, and we were both hungry and raring to go to the mall. Traffic was unbelievable (Is this how it’s going to be once school starts? God help us). We had overpriced, under-flavored food (but yummy drinks), then shopped for Tristania’s assorted needs. We had missed the first showing of “Frida” and had to while away two and a half hours. We then had more yummy drinks, mostly because Ayn had to smoke somewhere, peed, and watched the movie. It was good. I like Frida’s paintings. I also went on a horrible rollercoaster ride on my views on marriage. Never mind. I’m at it again.

To cut it short, Ayn and I had a nice girl’s day out. Bonding kami. Saya. Siguro sasabihin na naman ni Allan, “Hindi na naman kayo nagyaya!” Well, that man’s time isn’t his own. Poor guy. Allan, kuwento mo naman yung Pong Pagong thingie.

Kita-kits sa Thursday! Masaya yun.

Oh yeah. I just want to clarify the “glorifying” issue. In the article kasi, I was quoted as saying, “…scoffing at the term is just bad as glorifying in it,” and not mistakenly so. I think I really did say that. Anyway, that’s wrong grammar because “glorifying” is a verb that needs an object, which I didn’t have in that sentence, since “in it” is just a prepositonal phrase. What I meant to say was “glorying in it” or “glorify ourselves with it”. I could also have said “glorifying it”, which wasn’t exactly what I intended to say but is close enough (although, from a compositional viewpoint, this is actually a better alternative to what I originally meant).

Did that confuse anyone? I think it did me, even a little. Sorry, I didn’t intend to sound like a prissy intellectual. I’m just being anal because I was quoted in a magazine practicing bad grammar, and I can’t forgive myself—especially since I used to be an English Major. I know it doesn’t really matter since I don’t have perfect grammar all the time. But to say something like that in print (and I don’t mean electronic print like in websites) is plain humiliating yourself. People read about crap everyday, and you don’t need to add your bullshit for their perusal. Thousands of people have read and are going to read that article. Out of each thousand, at least a hundred will read it, laugh disdainfully and forever think I am a total ditz for my tiny grammatical error. I know, because I am like that. Anyway, a couple of hundred people thinking me stupid is a little too much for me to bear.

God, am I messed up, or what? Um, does anyone recall how I described myself in the first entries of this blog? Hehehe. Shit, man. Hell… does anyone recall what I said I am currently going through in the first paragraphs of THIS entry? Towljah…

Ayn, you must think I’m on some pretty powerful shit, right now… This is worse. It’s neither synthetic nor organic. It’s imaginary. It’s horrible. Something out of Lovecraft.

Allan, pwede na bang pang-album inlay? A la Belle and Sebastian. Haha. Asa.

I’d apologize, but that would be more of my worthless drivel. I’ll just do everyone a favor and stop.

"Weee!" - Allan (the artist formerly known as Pong Pagong)
---- cge ayn ipag kalat nyo pah!!! huhuhuhuhuweeeeeee

Yes, nabuhay si Selena..

Last night's practice was weird. It turned out that we were still able to trash mang Sam's studio.. We only practiced for an hour though.. I bet mang Sam couldn't wait to get rid of us. Nagsama pa ang SPK at kendi. I heard naglasing sila Allan the last time they practiced there. Ako, i had two beers already before we practiced. After that, may brandy pa sila Sir manyak. Kami ni Lara, umiinom na from the bottle on our way to my place. Si Lara lang ang nakapag pa inom sa akin ng ganun ulit after how many years. We dropped by Lara's place for a while to get some food. We also passed by the Total convenience store near my place to buy some more booze and cigs. I drank a bit of vodka courtesy of Eloha. Same vodka mix I had after I gave birth.

Sino sino ba kami? Sir Charles, Sir John Paul, Sir Allan, Roel, Jen, Eloha, Popoy, Lara, Selena and Ralph. Nagluto muna ng food sila Lara then kumain kami. Since si Roel present, ang pagkain na baboy. Sinira pa ang water dispenser namin. Ang kamalasan nga naman. Dumating pa sha sa studio na lasing. Nasira pa yung kick sa drums. Roel isa nalang talaga, gugupitin ko na buhok mo.

The inuman ended around 5am, I think. They took a picture with Trista. Sumama rin si Trista sa paghatid sa lahat. I'm so surprised na nagustuhan niya company ng lahat. May mga tao na mas madalas pa makita ni Trista pero ayaw niya sa kanila. Harharhar.

Selena ikaw nalang mag post ng ibang details about last night. Sakit pa katawan ko... I hope matapos mo na yung member profile natin for the site.

Oo nga pala, candyaudioline has a gig on June 5 (Thursday), Millenia. "In Between Days" with bands like Weedisneys, Soft Pillow Kisses, Archaster, Downboydown, Popular Days, etc. Sa Sunday Grabe Sunday, Soft Pillow Kisses ang tutugtog. Siempre hindi ang kendi. Dahil sa akin. Bwahahahaha.

Screw the mainstream.

Ayn Ruth Baudelaire



"Weee!" -Allan (the artist formerly known as Pong Pagong)

I am back, of course.

Tonight, we have practice. Allan called a while ago, but I couldn't answer because I was driving. Chris talked to him. I don't know for sure but they mentioned something about us being banned from a studio and looking for another one. Hahaa! Us? Banned from Mang Sam's?? Weird. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's true.

I have to get to work on the member profile for the site. As usual, I have waited until the last moment. Sigh. Sige na nga.
