It Should've Been...

hello everyone...

the first Buzz Night of 2011 was a bit weird for me... i was only able to confirm the gig barely 4 days before gig time and was able to complete the line up 2 days prior... in short, i wasn't really expecting a medium sized crowd or a somewhat festive atmosphere... plus the fact that i wasn't really up to it with both of my bands not realy a hundred percent prepared...

i got there really late with Dennis thanks to that UST thing happening just across... hours before i thought Mar was joking when he said that the place was packed... well, not everyone was there for the event... most of them were UST students just hanging out waiting for the traffic to thin out... still a crowd's a crowd and i was happy to know that the bands playing that night were being exposed to unsuspecting ears...

i arrived halfway thru Slumbook's set and was eager to see visiting old friends but was really surprised to see more than i was expecting... Kel and Deanna were there, Zhai and Remmy and even Rene although he had to go early so i didn't really got to see him... Lara was there too and i even got her to play bass in 2 songs with Pillow...

as usual, my Pillow and Candy-mates were also enjoying themselves with Celene, who was a bit under the influence of the stars and alcohol at that time, being the center of attraction... i just can't help laughing my guts out when Joms did that wrestling move to Celene...

anyways, on to our set... which i guess was were everything started to slightly fall apart... first, one of my strings snapped so i had to use Mar's telecaster which i didn;t really liked... then my amp was beginning to fall apart... also, Josh was a bit tired which made us miss Jeff some more... but to top things off was Celene's dancing... it was really a let down but we really can't do anything about it...

it should've been something but it has happened so maybe we'll just have to wait til next gig to...

that'll be that for now.. i'm really sleepy...

Yun Na!!! Nangyari Na Nga...

Are We About To Hit A Brick Wall Again...

we've been very active lately... we've already played 3 gigs, have a new song and we even went to Baguio for a quick gulp of cool air...

but there seems to be something just around the corner that might cause a sudden stop to our slightly happy 2011 journey...

i've just learned of this last night and was quite upset... i felt much more agitated when one of my bandmates (jokingly) suggested that if ever that "unfortunate situation" comes out then, there's no use moving on...

well i don't really give a fuck whether everyone leaves... it's nothing new really... i only thing that gets me annoyed is the idea that just because you're bound to lose a single strand of hair you're about to let go of the rest... that's really something isn't it...

i just can't help feeling really offended...

to the cause... hope you get what you truly deserve...

Candyaudioline - Your Smiling Eyes (New Song)

parang naniniwala na ako sa kasabihan na pag maganda ang isang kanta malamang pangit ang napagkunan ng inspirasyon... true true true...



wasting away the time everyday
just waiting for, i've got nothing to say
those smiling eyes, it's all in my mind
i can't see

drifting away, what words should i say
it can't be, i'm losing my way (from you)
your smiling eyes, they're so hard to find
it can't be...

time Ttrying) to let you know how much i'm down again...
drowning (Laughing) at the thought of being alone again...

Candyaudioline Baguio Trip (January 9, 2011)

We all went to baguio last January 9... left manila at around 4am... ate at select nlex 'til 5am then off we went...




we got there at around 9:30am i guess and wasted no time appreciating the view and the climate, although i was slightly disappointed becuase i was expecting it to be really cold...




we got to stay at this really cheap inn in which me and dennis remember very well as the place where candyaudioline also stayed when we played there december 30, 2006...
no electrical out lets, no wi-fi and worse, the bathroon is located outside of your room...




i took a brief nap and at around 2pm we all went out for a stroll... we never really get to go anywhere since no one wanted to drive the van and i had to let our driver rest since we all planned to leave at around midnight...

we went to burnham park and had lunch there... then rented a jeepney to take us to mines view and after an hour or so, we went back to the inn but i went to church before returning to the inn...







we had our dinner at andok's session road and decided to drink somewhere near the cliffs of marcos highway before heading straight home...

First Gig For 2011 At B-Side...

Hello Everyone!!!

Last night we played our first gig for 2011 at B-Side in makati... Actually singit lang kami kasi i really wanted to demo 2 new songs ("So Much Of You" and "With No Sunshine")... kaya sana 3 songs na bago (+ "Your Smiling Eyes") kung di lang sana mahahaba ito... Syempre nakakhiya naman sa lahat ng banda dun, eh singit nalang nga tapos mag-dadami pa ng kanta... syempre as usual, bitin pa rin sa amin ang four songs pero okey na rin...

oks naman yung kinalabasan pero talo talaga ang nagamit ko na amp... haay nakaka-inis... di ako tumutunog ng maayos kaya tuloy nawala ang confidence ko...

anyway, mabuti nalang at pogi ang tunog ni Dennis at ni Arjay and with Jeff playing expectedly well naka-raos kami ng masaya... yung lang di ko talaga marinig ang boses but according to Celine, the vocals were way up high in the mix... well i just have to trust them, although di ganun yung lumabas sa Camera ko... but i think Pancho was shooting us from near the stage kaya nasapawan yung boses...

at last, natugtog na rin yung 2 new song na maayos kaya i'm all smiles na rin... and at the same time yung nabili kong camera eh matino ang audio nya... Sony na Cybershot na W270... mas mababa dun sa una ko na W290 pero mas okey naman dun sa isa pa naming nabili na W330... Don't buy those W300-Series cybershots specially if your into recording videos of gigs... the sound just sucks big time although the picture quality is really good... i just wish that Sony would someday come out with something that is truly worth buying - specially those low end Cameras - for people like me who likes recording videos of concerts and small gigs...

i wish i could post some videos but i wasn't able to set the camera to record smaller sized videos. most the videos taken are about 300mb and higher... Maybe next time...

that's that for now... 'til the next post...

P.S. Yes bandmates, salbahe talaga yang "Away We Go"!!! Nice Gig!!!

Candyaudioline - So Much Of You (New Song

This was taken last night at our Practice @ Propaganda Studios in Cubao...



here's the words to this song...

It seems that i have so much to do
I want to do them with you
Exaggerating all that i feel
I know exactly i do

I just can't get you out of my mind
No matter how hard i try
There seems to be just so much of you
And i don't know waht to do...

i want to...
i need you
But i just don't know what to do...

til the next post...

How Come... ?

Hello everyone...

i've been listening to our new song tentatively called "Your Smiling Eyes" and i can safely say that this one might come out to be one of the better song we'll ever do... a bit different from the previous songs we've done... it's more dream pop than shoegaze... 2 other new songs that i'm very excited recording is the Pixies-Sounding "With No Sunshine" and my current fave, the up-beat "So Much Of You"...

can't help but feel really amazed at how an array of stomp boxes could really make you sound great... Dennis has a new stomp box which is the Boss PS2 and it has really changed his sound radically... now i can hear the notes he's doing... and at times he sound more keyboard-ish than guitar which is an added treat...

me on the otherhand is quite content with just 2 stomp boxes although at times i do use 5... the only thing i need now is to learn to use my guitar's trembar...

actually while me and Dennis was listening to a new Sunshine Factory song i began to wonder why, inspite of my being a My Bloody Valentine die-hard fan, how come none of our songs have that trademark MBV "glide guitar" sound?... maybe in the future songs to come... just maybe...

'til the next post...

Starting The Year With A New Life, A New Plan And A New Song!!!

Happy New Year To Everyone...

Saying hello to 2011... a fresh start again although i never really did had a chance to fully enjoy the "changing of the times"...

at least we were able to achieve somethng last year but it was a bit unplanned resulting in things being push too far and in the process producing unsatisfactory results... but that's all in the past and what matters is the future...

as usual there'll be no plans again for now and just like before, we'll just wait...

as of now, we have 3 new songs 2 of which we just played a few days ago at our last gig and the other one we just jammed last night... this brings the total number of fresh songs to 9... enough for and album i think... considering that most of these songs clock at five to six minutes each...

so what's there to look forward to? can't tell really... we'll just have to wait... again...
