My First Step To... I don't Know Where?

hello! anyone!

we've all been very quiet lately, each of us have our own reasons for being so... i for one have been trying to deal with one of life's most cruel joke. sadly i am still failing... seems like everything is drifting away from me... do you know how it feels?

2005 started out for me like a drift in still waters. full of possibilities and promises. as days and months passed by, i suddenly realized that i was all ready in the middle of a big storm. being the optimistic fool that i am, i just laughed at it all. believing that for every bad thing that comes my way, something good will eventually follow. so there i was, greeting each trial with arms wide open. but everytime i get to jump a hurdle, it's either i get to land on the wrong foot or get rammed by a great big wall. that was how it was for me during the middle of this year... but i was still able to pick myself up and move on... by the last quarter of 2005, things were beginning to pick up and it seemed that the promise of a smooth sailing was there after all. so i tried to savor every bit of it ignoring some bumps and occassional mildly rough waters... then all of a sudden, without the slightest hint, i was drifting towards a very big waterfall... so i fell and what's worst about it is that i don't know how to swim... enough of that!

today is the 30th day of the last month of this very cruel year... hopefully, i wish to see an end to this string of unfortunate events. what better way to do it than to do something which i once enjoyed doing the most...

tonight soft pillow kisses will be playing at two separate gigs. one at 6 underground in makati at around 9Pm and the other one at mayrics... even this exercise have hang-ups which until now is still hanging in the balance... the first one is trying to get bands to perform for mayrics at a very short notice because the venue was also awarded to me just last monday. that one was settled just last night. also the dilemna of not having a vocalist during pillow's mayrics gig. that was also settled last night with me getting apol (original pillow vocalist) to practice at my place, a few songs for tonight's mayrics gig (eloha will be the one doing the makati gig)... the only thing that's hanging in the balance is arjay's (current candy bassist) commitment to be on time, specially for 6 underground which i think will be very strick in time slots alloted for bands.

if you're not doing anything tonight i suggest you pass by one of the venues...
