Weird... after all the wait and anticipation, a quiet lull suddenly envelopes this blog... and for more than 5 days now, we still have no clue as to where Maggot is?
She won't even answer our post or tags... nadito ka na ba sa Pinas? Paramdam ka naman...

Candyaudioline - Together
Hello everyone...
had practice last night and Elaine couldn't make it so i decided to bring an old song back to life...
This is the 3rd of the 1st 3 songs i made during Candyaudioline's inception way back June of 1997 (the first one was "We've Been There" while the secong one is "Nearby Town"... Sort of lost this song to my other band Superminty and for some time Soft Pillow Kisses although both band's never really got to play this one during a gig since both band's, in my opinion, never got it right... now i'm bringing it back to Candyaudioline for good... Pardon the way-out-of-tune guitar since i had to use one from the studio coz Dennis didn't bring his own guitar...

Timog Night Out... Flush Flood... Fush Out...
yesterday (saturday) was kind of a weird day for me...
it was suppose to start yesterday morning upon our arrival from Legaspi since i had plans to shop around a bit but we had to cut short our stay in Legaspi last friday and return by land late in the afternoon of fear of typhoon Frank's wrath... we left Legaspi at around 6pm and arrived in Manila around 5am... it was quite an experience really since me, dennis and kel with pancho didn't get to ride such a comfortable van until we reached Lucena... imagine, amlost 6 hours in a converted L200 with no airconditioning and really annoying passenger jeep-like seats... thank God the drivers for both vans were quite skilled drivers so we didn't have to worry dying through the trip consisting of heavy rains, gusty winds, rough muddy roads and some helpings of diced hopia, tortillos, boiled eggs and c2... having a fully charged PSP also helped a bit...
on to yesterday (saturday)... woke up at around 4 in the afternoon watched a couple of dvd's when i remembered that i had an errand to run so i left the house at around 9pm... on my way to teacher's i received a text message from Shoko (Filipino/Japanese friend of mine who i once invited to sing for Soft Pillow Kisses)
asking me if i was nearby since she was somewhere in ABS CBN area...
Here's a picture of me and Shoko taken last Thursday... She went to the studio in Teacher's Village all the way from UST just to show me her brand new hairdo...
i told her that i was on my way to Teacher's Village and that i could hang around with her if she wanted to... but she was uncertain if she could find time to meet up with me... yet after my errand, i decided to go to timog and stayed at starbucks near burgoo... since it was near where Shoko was just incase she decides to meet up with me... after 30 minutes of waiting She texted me and said that she could not leave her friends and asked me if i could join her there but i thought that i'd be a bit unconfortable since i don't know any of her aquiantances and besides, i was a bit enjoying playing PSP while spotting girls at starbucks... i told her that i had company and i'll just wait for her text if ever she decides to still meet up with me... i tell you, it was really girl's galore night... from sosys to the yuckies... there was even this batch of Koreans who invited me to join their Kill Zone sessions...
i think they noticed me playing alone and quite emotional at that... it was a good thing that my batteries ran out or else... was able to chat with 2 of the girls whom i was quite surprised since they were so fluent conversing in english... good thing i had baon... and do you like to know what we talked about? Movies... i think they were quite surprised at how knowledgable i was with Korean stuff... then they asked me if i had an idea as to what those group of really noisy girls just across the street where into? i haven't noticed it until they pointed it out... Pokpoks Galore!!! and really pretty ones... got another call from Shoko telling me that they'll move to Katipunan and at the same time the Koreans were also saying their good byes... i was so busy talking to Shoko that i forgot to get the 2 girl's number... stupid me... i decided to go home at around 11:30pm...
at home, i got quite annoyed at how the strong winds were hitting the lose end of the school roof just in from of the gate of our place... it was so noisy that my sleepiness left me... so i went online while watching Constantine... at around 3am the light's went out and worse, i forgot to charge my PSP... i went out of the house to get a feel of the storm... it was really scary... it was dark and the wind was really blowing hard and the rains were starting to pour... after about 15 minutes, there was electricity again but the storm was growing stronger which made me feel worried since it'll sure cause floodings if the rains would continue pouring at that rate... went back to the house and conitinued surfing the net... went to sleep at around 7am... at 10am, manang woke me up telling me that water was seeping into the house... when i got down stairs, there was already 2 inches of water inside the house... manang was already able to save some of my stuff from getting wet but it still wasn't enought since the rains were still pouring hard... so we spent the next couple of hours moving things around... it was fun though, i got to see some stuff that i rarely see anymore... brings back fond memories... but i had to be careful since i had an open wound just above my left ankle... i really hate it when water gets inside the house... last time this happened was like 5 years ago...
just can't help but feel sorry for others who had to go thru far worse experience with floods, and typhoons... you can't consider it flash flood since it was inevitable...

rainy outside rainy inside.
WOW. the weather is really bad. it's been raining non-stop since yesterday. i was with Lara the other night- having a serious conversation over tea and white choco mocha. we hardly noticed the pouring rain. we got home at about 4am... both tired and sleepy (i was even sick that time)... BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP US FROM CREATING OUR BRAND NEW AWESOME MOVES!!! It started with the "uy-anjan-ka-pala" apir greeting... then we just couldn't help ourselves and our creative minds! we now have 7 new combos awaiting our eager audience and fans! WAHAHAHA wait 'til you guys see the SUPERNOVA!!! MWAHAHAHAHA *BOOM*
as for candy, we had 2 consecutive practices last week. i don't think we'll be practicing tonight 'cause of the bad weather. the new old song was ok, just that allan wanted better lyrics for the song... as much as i would like to collaborate and give my ideas... i think my lyrics would just sound like it belonged to a fastfood jingle!!! HAY. my goodness. i sometimes amaze myself with the capacity of what i eat nowadays!! and it's all THEIR (allan, rene, dennis, and kel) fault!! nang magsimula ako sa candy, nagsimula na rin ang katakawan ko!!! nagsimula na rin ang panlolobo hmph!!! But thanks to them, i've discovered the wonderful world of eating and spotting while eating! hahaha I now have a new talent or skill to put in my resume! hehehe
i miss deanna... she has work already so we hardly get to hang out with her. hope she's doing ok.
i heard rene's going to work also. hay. sagabal talaga yang trabaho. haha but it's inevitable. so i wish him well in the medical field. anyway, gotheng/maggot (do you have another name that i can call you? hehe hindi ako sanay pa. hmm.. you're too pretty for you nicks e.) will be arriving this 25th of june. they say that she'll play bass again for candy in rene's absence. can't wait to finally meet her... hope we could spot together! hahaha *supernova apir* i wonder if she'll do THE MOVES with me?! hahaha
insert note: uuuuuuuuuuy!!! ang pogi ni dennis sa eat bulaga!! wehehehe

Candyaudioline - You're Not There
You're Not There...
Everytime i see you there, it is as if you are not there...
Everytime i see you there, it is as if you are not there...
Everytime i see your face, gets me to look in different ways...
Everytime i see your face, gets me to look in different ways...
Up... Down... Get's me feeling Up and Down
Up... Down... Guilty feelings round and round
Everytime i see you there, it is as if you are not there...
Everytime i see you there, it is as if you are not there...
So many times i've seen your face, gets me looking ways,
And everytime i see you there, it always seem you are not...
there... everywhere... you're not there... you're not there
there... everywhere... i don't care... if you're not there...
New (Old) Song
Practiced last night... It's an old song actually from an old band of mine... the guitar riff is courtesy of present Moscow Olympics member Jojo Sarmiento who was then Aspirin's 5th member... the song's called "You're Not There"...
Got regrets though with this one cause i can't find a reference tape of the song... i only got a very rough demo an it's barely a representation of how Aspirin did it... tried playing it from memory but still can't come that close to how it was done way back then...
still i'm quite content with how Candyaudioline did it...
Happy is the band... Just take a look...

Just Some Thoughts...
Hello evryone...
Noticed that's it's been very hot during the past few weeks... its supposed to be the rainy season right?
Just happen to pass by a certain "Squatter's Area" somewhere along Visayas Avenue a few days ago and i can't help but think, although i'm not generalizing, are people who happen to live in these sort of places that barbaric? Felt really sorry for the girl walking just a few meters ahead of me... won't go into details... although i really wanted to help but i wasn't sure that if i did, i would be able to come out of it unharmed or worse, alive...
heard of the "Road Clearing Projects" of the MMDA? well, there's one going on here in our area since 4 days ago... I don't agree with what their doing... i think it's not right and it's way too much "below the belt"... most of what they're doing ain't that necessary...
Kel shared to us an experience of his on his way to practice when a girl seated right besides her got her cellphone snatched inside an FX taxi... i'm pretty sure a lot of these types of crime happen in great frequency even at this very moment... is there anything that could be done about this? is it really not safe to go around town via public transport anymore? even in broad daylight and in the presence of many they strike... scary ain't it?
i was looking at really old local magazines (60's and 70's stuff)... i noticed that the disparity among the "Good Looking" and the "Not Good Looking" during those days can be represented by an angle measuring not more that 40 degrees... Nowadays. it's like a standing straight line one pointing to heaven the other side pointing to hell or 180 degree angle vertically positioned... is this evolution?
now i'm sleepy....

Monthly dues
As I've suspected... Even if I walk like a man, talk like a man, spot like a man... I'm still a woman at heart! I still endure monthly stomach cramps. :( hay. that's why I missed the most-awaited part of the practice... the eating session. huhuhuhu *d*mn you cramps!!!! d*mn you to earth!!!*
I enjoyed the practice last night, despite the GROUNDING EVENTS. argh! I'm sort of getting used to the loud music.

A Good Session...
Hello everyone,
Can't help looking back at last night's practice session... haven't had practice like that in a long while... it so enjoyable... the mics were functioning properly save for the grounds running through it's mouthpiece, the amps sounded like they've just been treated or rewinded... and even my usual misfit band-mates where all focused and were executing the songs they way they were meant to be done... how i wish were always like this... at least sulit yung bayad di ba... not much time wasted... sa sobrang aliw ng practice, i wasn't able to push through with my agenda of practicing songs which we plan to record soon and to introduce some Aspirin (my old band) songs which i plan to move over to Candyaudioline...
We went to one of our fave Karinderya "Sittiper" located near Xaymaca just in front of one of - '"my place of soltitude" - Grandeur Health Club, for some nourishments and indulged ourselves with a healthy dose Giniling Baboy and Dinuguan accompanied by a life-threatening cup of Bulalo Soup with a large-sure-to-kill chunks of "taba"... Sad, Elaine had to go home since she was experiencing her monthly thing... Babae ka pa rin Elaine...
Can't wait for the next practice session... may next time around it'll be Maggot's turn to play bass for us... But it will be Rene who's doing the bass playing during the recordings since it's just proper since he was the one who pulled-off most of the bass parts...

Candyaudioline - Secret (OMD Song) @ Will's Attic
Hello everyone...
We had a really great time at Will's Attic last night... We came in very early but the gig had to start a bit late since people and also some of the bands came in late...
During the wait, most of my bandmates were busy chatting, playing PSP and girl-spotting even Elaine too... there sure were lots of spottables last light... specially this girl in white which was really very disctractingly georgeous... me and Dennis just can't help but secretly and oftertimes obviously look at her (Chest and Legs and all)... haven't been in a gig where there are lots of lovely ladied within a Decameter of Spherical Radius... i mean, front, behind, up, down and even outside...
I guess we played a really great set with Elaine's mic being the only problem wherein the wire was short and it was slightly lower volume-wise compared to mine... or maybe she was just too near to most of the instruments compared to where i stood causing her voice to be drowned in all the instruments...
I really liked "We've Been There" that time around. it was almost perfect if i didn't screw up the last part... And also "Felt So Fine" and "Wicked Glances"... The OMD cover was also really swell too...
We had to leave early but first we had to finish Discoball at Ayn's (Ex-Candyaudioline) request... a band mostly made up of former Kiko Machine members, they show a lot of promise and character, very tight except for the Nirvana Cover... I sure miss Ayn's presence... Mia and Joey were also there too... Sorry wasn't able to stay with you guys that long...
We then went to Gerardo's to see Lara but upon arriving at Grerardo's i suddenly realised that i hadn't payed for the food and drinks that we ordered at Will's so i had to rush back to settle my bill... back at Gerardo's... it was so full of people therefore the spotting continues...
we decided to go soon after since Elaine was feeling a bit tipsy after 2 bottles of Vodka Ice but being chibugistas at heart we just can't end our day without eating at our favourite food joint... and this months fave hang-out is Icebergs...
it was a struggle really for Elaine going to Icebergs... 1st she was feeling dizzy from the drinks she had... 2nd she already had Burger King in mind... 3rd is she was planning on fasting for 3 weeks now... But nothing is more powerful than the thought of skipping tthrough another Hungarian Sausage 3 times in a row...
i can say that Icebergs was really worth it... aside from the great food and ice cream there were lots of spottables again... specially this girl about 11o'clock from me... she kept doing a Sharon Stone Basic Instinct cross-legs move to my enjoyment and amazement... it really made eating more fun...
aaaaahhhhh... dami pa sana kwento pero this will do for the mean time...

we decided to go soon after since Elaine was feeling a bit tipsy after 2 bottles of Vodka Ice but being chibugistas at heart we just can't end our day without eating at our favourite food joint... and this months fave hang-out is Icebergs...
it was a struggle really for Elaine going to Icebergs... 1st she was feeling dizzy from the drinks she had... 2nd she already had Burger King in mind... 3rd is she was planning on fasting for 3 weeks now... But nothing is more powerful than the thought of skipping tthrough another Hungarian Sausage 3 times in a row...
i can say that Icebergs was really worth it... aside from the great food and ice cream there were lots of spottables again... specially this girl about 11o'clock from me... she kept doing a Sharon Stone Basic Instinct cross-legs move to my enjoyment and amazement... it really made eating more fun...
aaaaahhhhh... dami pa sana kwento pero this will do for the mean time...

Repost: Candyaudioline doing "Light Years" (Eraserheads)
To Humble...
It think this was taken some time april of this year... we first covered this song 2 years ago around February for a UP Fair Eraserheads Tribute Night and we did it twice... first was at a late afternoon gig in Makati then the same night at the UP Fair gig... Mavi was still our singer then... We started doing this again about a year ago and we do have plans of recording it either for release or simply for documentaion purposes...

Kungfu Panda Inspired Practice Session: The Secret Secret Ingridient...
Hello Everyone...
Practice was fun last night... Our version of OMD's "Secret" is almost done... Just a little bit more twinkling and i'm pretty sure it's going to be something which we'll be proud of... We did get to record it on Video but Elaine's mic sucked at the last minute... that's why in this footage you get to here me more...
Parang ang payat mo dito sa video Elaine... Hmmmm, speaking of which, most of us at Candyaudioline except for Kel and Dennis, had already seen the movie "Kungfu Panda"... it's really a very funny and enjoyable film complete which cute characters and awesome fight scenes... Of the 3 of us who got to watch the movie, i think Elaine's bit the most influenced by it... here's proof...
hehehe... actually, it took this picture of Elaine months before we saw the movie so maybe it's the other way around...
We are all looking forward to maggot's return and we just can't wait to play another gig... by the way, I plan to move some Aspirin songs to Candy... Hope we could record some more songs in the studio some tiome in the near future...
Thanks to Apple by the way for taking the video and also to those who've been posting stuff in our Tagboard...

Candyaudioline - Secret (OMD Cover)
Hello everyone,
Elaine wasn't around for practice last night so we decided to concentrate on the cover song that we plan to record for an upcoming compilation of 80's songs... Our first choice was JoBoxer's "Just Got Lucky" which we tried to dismantle during practice a week ago... Not really confortable with how we approached the song, i decided to do another one... I chose this one from OMD because i've wanted to cover this a long time ago...
So here's our take on OMD's "Secret"...
Hmmm, not bad i think... But not good enough either... I guess there's still a lot to do with this one... Hope we came do justice to such a splendid song... Honestly, it is really quite difficult to re do this one since it's already perfect as it is... The original i mean... But just for the sake of fun and pride, we'll just see as to how we can take this further...
Hoy Elaine, post ko lyrics para mapag-aralan mo para next practice okey na...
OMD - Secret
Secret...
Secret...
I've got a secret and I can't explain
And all the time I've waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you'd better just wait and see
(Shout)
This is all.... this is all oh...
Secret...
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
All I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
And now you see all my secret is this love... Is love, is love
My secret is this love
Everyday you're always there
You comfort me and make me feel it's worth my while
And then I look around and you're not there
And everyday you say you care and I'll be well
Secret...
This is all, this is all
I've got a secret and I can't explain (this is all... Secret)
All I want is to hold your hand (this is all)
All along I was never in doubt (this is all... Secret)
To see the sun and to walk the sand (this is all... Secret)
I've got a secret and I can't explain (this is all...)

A Couple Of Good News And...
Hello Everyone...
Haven't realized it yet but i think ako nalang yata ang nagpopost at nag babasa ng mga pinaglalagay ko dito sa blog na ito... hehehe, okey lang... wala naman akong magagawa eh kung talagang ako lang ang____... Even sa tagboard ako lang rin aside from someone who calls herself Scarlette saying that this blog's "boring"...
well, each one of us has his or her own idea of what is and is not boring... thanks anyway Scarlette for posting something in this really boring tagboard of ours... Just can't really understand why my bandmates don't post here... it's either ther're just shy in letting other people know what's on their minds or they're just busy with other sort of thing which they find more interesting rather than helping me out in making this really boring blog look "Not" boring...
Let me see, Elaine for one has yet to accept an invite i sent her many moons ago to become a part of this blog... according to her, she seldom post in blogs and i think she's a very busy person... being in the medical profession during the day and an all out "Chibigista" during the night...
Dennis and Kel on the other hand has been very busy lately... Kamikazee's been very active which means, me, Dennis and Kel don't have much time for other things... as far as i know, Dennis is very pre-occupied with, sleeping, eating, surfing the net for "On Sale" musician stuff, working once in a while and playing PSP... Kel on the other hand i guess is also like Dennis.... well there's nothing wrong with making lot's of money but i really hate it when they begin to act like their only connected to me because of work, they seldom reply to text messages related to Candyaudioline... Anyways i'm tired of telling them what to do... even the practice sessions we've been having ain't helping either... i really hate the way the our drummer plays the drums... hindi naman Metal and candyaudioline eh and hindi naman kailngang puno ng nota lahat na kanta... PUNYETA TALAGA!!! Sa lahat ng ayaw ko eh yung hindi ako sinusunod!!! Pero pinipilit ko pa rin magpasensya but it won't last forever... maybe someday i'll just explode and possibly bring them along with me...
As for Rene, in spite of him playing dumb and acting stupid he's the only other guy in the band that shows concern and respect for the music... i feel really lucky for having him around during Maggot's absence...
About the good news... Elaine might be staying until October and Maggot's coming back late June...
on another sour note, i just recently realised that someone took money from my bag (AGAIN)!!! $302... What a big loss...

Ang Bilis Talaga Ng Araw...
Hello everyone...
It's June already... parang nung ilang araw lang eh March pa lang... yah naku, buhay nga naman... ang hirap habulin... Just when you think that you're comfortably in the lead, you'll suddenly find yourself catching up with the dictates of time...
Just last December, this band was badly in need of someone who could at least make everyone feel that like Candyaudioline is one happy bus ride to anywhere... Come January, we got what we wished for... and from that time onwards, it was fun again... But there was a catch to it, that it was not to last a year but during that time, 9 months was good enough for us... then all of a sudden, like Cancer, it went to just barely 7 months... Still, we saw it as better than nil... now that 7 months is just Barely a month and a half til deadline...
it's really hard to enjoy things when you know that it's about to end... and that it'll be close to impossible to agaain get into such a state but that's nothing new to us and to me in particular...
just have to enjoy the few remaining days of sunshine i guess...

Makati Park Gig...
Hello Everyone...
Sure felt great to have played again... Last Sunday, we played a gig at Makati Park... We did just 3 songs but i guess that was enough to make us feel good...
haven't been seeing each other lately... haven't have practice sessions as a complete unit too... during our last practice about 10 days ago, Elaine was out on vacation but we still had to rehease since someone else (Apple) was filling in for Elaine...
i guess we did well... i did like Elaine's singing during "Better View"... reminded me of how Anna (an Ex-Candyaudioline)used to do it... Too bad Deana (Kel's girlfriend and Candy's honorary 6th member) wasn't able to catch it on tape... I didn't quite like how i sang on "An Empty You"... I was like "uncomfortably" hearing my voice through my monitors which really made me sing much louder and a really awkward...
Gosh it's already June, and July's fast approaching... how i wish thing's were a bit different... at least everything been going great lately for us since the start of the year and we're all trying to enjoy it while we can...
