Hmmm. We Are Very Quiet...

hello everyone...

seems that it's been days since our last post... we have been very very quiet recently... so quiet that i'm beginning to get scared... hmmm, why, why, why are we so quiet?

i for one have been very busy for the past couple of weeks and just recently had undergone the traumas of being ripped-off by poeple whom of which i have been very kind to... lesson learned "trust is more of a brand name - for condoms - than something you could easily give to people around you. i lost a cell phone because of me trusting someone who i though was a harmless human being.

i now have been having problems with my bands because i've given my full confidence to people whom i have doubts before but in hoping that they'd appreciate the chance i've given them and would've wisen up but guess what? they are still the same old burden to me and my other bandmates who are one with me in all the things i want to do. when will this problem of mine ever end. i always have this wish that someday i'll have bandmates that will please me in whatever little way they can, trusting my full know-how of things in this little circle that i go about. i get really annoyed when they do things like: making as if they know this or that, coming to practice not prepaired, backing out of a committment at the last minute using very unimaginable excuses, taking for granted promises made. gosh, i could write a whole novel of things that some of my friends and bandmates do that irritates me but there are two things that "really gets my goat". one is when they try covering up their mis-givings by trying to act as if they are totally unaware of their wrong doings and in the process ending up - in my book - as truly dumb poser or to be more accurate, i'll refer to them as "real assholes". second is when they're not listening and would just go about doing what they feel is right. hello... i've known this shit for nearly 20 years and i've been doing this for nearly 10 years, how can i go wrong... okey enough of that... i just hope that someday they'll change. i've been very kind and generous to these people not expecting anything thing in return. all i want is that they respect and value my kindness and generousity.

so what has been happenning to us lately and why have we been so quite?

hmmm... candy was suppoed to have a practice last sunday in preparation for a stint at 70's bistro last night but selena got sick and kel was somehere far away. so i let soft pillow kisses fill in for candyaudioline.

we almost made a fool of ourselves last night... i lost a an E string in the last part of the first song - "it will never last forever" - and our volume was really way too low. the people were quite. really scary. i was able to borrow a guitar from gab of PNE and decided to play "i was right" as the next song but the guitar was not in tune. by this time, the silence of the crowd gave us an idea of what it is like being targets in a "firing squad". good thing i had my tuner with me on stage.t we where able to pull ourselves together by the third song "bathing in the sun". people were listinning to us again. inspite of having problems in singing "stolen flowers" our forth song, people like the song very much. there was even this guy who approached gilbert and me, who bought a copy of "i'd spend my day with you" shaking his head in dis-belief that soft pillow kisses are Filipinos... we dicided to do "stay here for a while" as our last song... we went down the stage truly appreciated and hopefully remembered... hyeh hehehe...

hopefully, selena gets to recover at the soonest possible time. we plan to play at mayrics this October 17, hopefully on the 21st somewhere near ABS-CBN. on the 25th (altough i'm not counting on this)somewhere in malate. and lastly, back to mayrics on the 29th for Buzz Night!!!

last sunday, me and dennis when to greenbelt for a business meeting / contract signing that i had arranged for one of our backbeat bands. then we went to M1 where i was able to get me a copy of another FPJ movie "Roman Rapido"... ang saya saya!!!then we decided to watch a spanish film entitled "Hector"... grabeh ha, atin atin lang ito ha... naiyak po ako!!!

reklamo portion... dati ang pag-pirata patago tapos naging bulgar... nag simula sa casette / hvs lang muna then naging vcd and then dvd. ultimately yung kanta mismo ang pipiratahin at babaguhin para hindi halata... etong taong ito nauso yan pero dati pa lang meron na... sikat na banda ito at napakalaki ng bunganga nung bokalista...

by the way: lets pray for the quake victims of pakistan. let us also pray that we never get to suffer a calamity of the such magnitude...
