It's Just So Hard To Understand...

this has nothing to do with my bands... it's just a personal rant of sorts...

why do some people get what they don't deserve?

actually i know a lot of people who i think, based on how i know them, seems to get on life easily... i just don't get it... i pity the poor souls who work their butts out for these loathesome assholes so that they'd look good and live well... often times i really feel cheated everytime i get to witness such a situation, even i at times get to be in such a predicament... but what can we do? eventhough we want to correct things, it seems that such a situation will always favor those bastards, no matter what...

your capability to correct things will always be hampered by your capacity to understand but in most cases it's more of surrendering to the fact that, it's the way it is supposed to be for the mean time... but what if that mean time turns out to be such an uncomfortably long period...

sure there's always a way out but what if, for the time being, you're stuck with it and chosing the way out would mean a new form of discomfort to you... each individual in his right mind would always try a hundred percent to do good and make the right moves and choices and that's why we always end up regretful... i guess it all boils down to simply being human...

being human is really a wonderful thing, i sure can live dealing with my own flaws but i just find it so hard to understand why i have deal and be victimized by other's flaws...

Candyaudioline @ Mayrics... The Guitar Amps!!!

we played at Mayrics last night... and for the first time Maggot and Elaine were both present... it thought this won't happen but it did...

just when you are about to play a well anticipated gig, the equiptments goes on fucking all about... really had a hard time last night... actually, that's 2 times in a row... Just last week at buzz night, the amps seemed so uncooperative... worse, my B string smapped... i had a really time keeping my guitar in-tune... Even Ralph's amp didn't go loud as it should... well those were the breaks for us... Maggot did quite well again but Elaine was a bit shaley at the start...

anyways, we didn't do really well but we did enjoy playing last night... again, Ralph played guitars instead of Dennis... by the way, Ralph has accepted my invitation to play guitars for Pillow... so as of this very moment, ralph is officially a member of Soft Pillow Kisses...

cna't wait for the next gig for Candy and the next practice session for Pillow...

Starting Over Again

Just would like to thank Selena and Ralph for playing with Candyaudioline last night... Kinda brings back some really good memories... Plus the fact that i didn't have to sing that much since Selena's used to singing alone most of the time... also, inspite of my guitar's consistently cocking out everytime i turn on the noise, Ralph's very full sound was there to save my red face... Maggot, inspite wearing those really funny looking pair of shoes only managed to do major "sabit"... the only thing i regret about Maggot last night was when she chickened out from her promise of dancing ala loka during Pillow's performance of "Just Like The Sky"... i did caught some on cam... hehehe, blackmail materials... Enjoy talaga no matter what... Just wish that Elaine was there coz Maggot really wants to play with her around... atleast before she leaves us all permanently...

Thanks also to Some Gorgeous Accident and Lazy Lorelei for showing up and playing for us some really cool tunes... Sunday Picnic, and Ramdom Knobs weren't able to make it...

Maybe next month, we'll stage a far more better Buzz Night and i'm counting on Rene and Carl to help me out on this... It'll be like starting over again...

A Slightly Old And Different Candyaudioline Tonight...

I lew of Elaine's not being sure if she'll be making it for tonight's Buzz Night, i've decided to get a temporary singer for this night's Buzz... It was supposed to be Lara but she told me last Saturday that she won't be able to make it... i decided to get Selena and with that i had to get Ralph too... Both are Ex-Candymembers... thank you Dennis for being very understanding...

I was hesitant at first but after last night practice (Ayn, another former Candy member was in the other studio across the street... is this a sign or what?) , i quess it'll be worth it... practice last night really went we'll... the first few songs we played was executed quite lousily with Selena singing awkwardly and Ralph playing the wrong chords with volumes nowhere near comfortable levels... but by the second half of the practice, everyone was back to Candyaudioland, Selena was singing like a well-behaved angel and ralph was playing his guitars like he was trying to drown the Domestic Airport with loads of guitar distortion and shreds of feedback... Even Maggot and Kel was into the groove...

Just a few hour's before Buzz Night... By the way, this will be Maggot's First gig after a year's absence...

Candyudioline Played At 6UG...

i thought it was going to be one frustrating evening... i had work related stress... my "doe" was running short... my phone line was cut, payment dead lines were all around the corner, worse of all, my ipod was stolen from my bag... it was a good thing that Apple (Soft Pillow Kisses) and Kel was with me on my way to 6UG for a Candyaudioline stint or else, i would've turn into something Green and Mean...

i was too preoccupied at thinking as to how the hell did my ipod got stolen from me that i didn't even bother to greet Lazy Carl and Tubby Joe who called my attention near the stairs of the venue... sorry guys... nothing soothes an angry head better than the sight of a hungry-smiling-Elaine anytime... i tried going over my bag but it only made me realise that my ipod was gone for good... the breaks, the breaks indeed...

on to the gig, we were suppose to go last but Weedisneys' drummer was nowhere in sight... LQ-related lateness according to him... as usual, i think we played really well but i didn't like the sound on stage... low register feedback was omnipresent an it was quite annoying since i could hear it all the time, even in the middle of a song... still i had to enjoy it since i can see that my band mates were really into it... an for the first time in many attempts, i got Elaine to intro the last song...

We waited for Disneys to finish and by this time, we were all hungry... we wasted no time in going to Mister Kabad... We took 2 cabs since there was 7 of us and divided ourselves into 2 groups, the Candy factions (Kel, Dennis and Elaine) and the Pillow Faction since Me, Apple and Rene were all wearing the same coloured tops... and we had old-Pillow Member tag along with us... the taxi ride was fun with Rene being his own nonsense-self, old-Pillow member's boy-toy past escapades was being exposed by me to New Pillow member Apple and Rene...

Mister Kabab was a place to be last night... 2 pairs of luscious legs from two gorgeous ladies from two different tables was having Dennis pre-occupied... Me and Elaine made occassional sulyaps to a cute girl in shorts about 11 o'clock of me... we shared the same thoughts... the girl was extremely cute in an innocent way... we stayed there for an hour and went our separate ways... it was really fun... the gig and the tambay, if only Maggot was there then that would be one for the books...

Wish that Elaine wouldn't live the country... she's one heck of a hungry-kind...

Maggot Ain't Ready Yet...

It was another fun-filled Pillow/Candy practice we had last night... as usual, Elaine was her crazy self again, Kel, Dennis and Rene was on Magic cards and PSP mode while me on the other hand got a bit confused as to how the practice session was suppose to go... Pillow had a special guest last night... hopefully we could play a gig with him before he disappears again..

Maggot was there and she came in really late... that's Maggot for you... Everyone was really happy to see her again... there was something new with her that really got everyone's attetion... hehehehe, she was with lipstick... Dennis and company wasted no time in making fun of her... but Maggot sure knows how to handle the boys... and with "Ate" Elaine backing her up, we just couldn't do anything but throw in everything we could possibly put our thoughts to... hehehe, that's the best thing about us, we thrive on bringing each other down to hell... in a fun way that is...

So, it was time for Maggot to take up the bass... and to our "expected surprise", she had a hard time remembering the songs... well, it's been a year now since she played Candy songs so no offense taken and she's always a welcome treat to us all... i did make her play a few songs but had to cut short her stint since i felt that we'd be wasting time if i will be focusing on her... maggot ain't ready yet...

The real agenda for the practice is to prepare us (Candyaudioline) for this Thursday's gig and also to help Elaine rehearse a few more songs she needs to do in the studio... But we're happy that Maggot is back which means that Rene might have to play Keyboards when maggot's Available or will just be our official cameraman...

for me, it's nice to know that she's here and with us once more... i just hope that before Elaine does her exit, we'd be able to play a handful of gig as a six-piece unit once more...

As Promised: Elaine's 1st Take...

hello everyone... Candyaudioline, Soft Pillow Kisses and Superminty have been goin in and out of the studio to record some songs... Very few footages were recorded... most of which has nothing to do with any of the songs whatsoever... Most of the footages were mostly Candy-related and here's one...

That'll do for now...
