Hoy!!!

Ang tagal nating di nagkita ano? Tinatamad pa nga ako eh. Ibu-bullet ko na nga lang:

1. Pulp pictorial—we met each other at around 8:30 am at McDonald’s EDSA. That is, Ayn and Ralph and I did. As usual, Allan and Roel came late with Gilbert. Eloha came a little earlier than them (she CAME! Oh… Ohhhh… Ohhhhhhhh! Ops, Sir Charles, huminahon… ;). We waited a REALLY long time for Lara, who was recovering from a hangover, before we started on to Makati. We arrived at Green Planet a few minutes after 10 and we were really proud of our punctuality. There were about three bands who were already there, so we were thinking that we would be done right away. The problem was that the photographer showed up really late and they let other bands have their picture taken before ours even if they came later than us. Bad trip! Ang init init sa loob tapos ang tagal-tagal naming naghintay bago kami kinuhanan. Buti na lang Roel requested that Soft Pillow and candyaudioline have their pictures taken against this cool altar in the corner. We were different from everyone else :) Lalo kaming nagulat nung sinabi ni Vernon Go na solo shots para sa members ng candy! Kahit na 2:30 pm na kami inasikaso, sulit kasi cool yung backdrop tsaka solo pa. Ang arte namin hehe. Parang hindi indie! So after that, Ralph and Charms and I went to Ayn’s house and pigged out on their food, plus Ababu take-out. Good day.

2. Last Friday, Ayn went to our house to CRS; except that it wasn’t functional yet, so nagkayayaan na lang ng inuman. Allan said he could come, but he didn’t. Ralph said he’d try, but he didn’t. Roel said he was in Cebu. So it ended up being just Chris and Ayn and Me. Okay lang. Parang slow down ek-ek. Nge! Ang galing kasi ng mga kabanda namin.

3. Practice kami sa Alberto’s dapat ng midnight nung Sunday. Allan was already practicing inside Mang Sam’s with SPK. Wala pa si Roel ng 1:30 nung lumabas yung SPK. They called him up and it turns out he was asleep! Siya pa yung nagyaya ng practice. We called it off kasi tinamad na rin kami. Kumain na lang kami sa Pares Place kina Ralph. Bad trip kasi ubos na yung pares. Order kami ni Chris ng bulalo. Yakkeee. Will never do that again.

4. Monday, April 14—it was our Mayric’s night along with Soapdish and Blue Ketchup. The whole day I kept hearing the plug for our gig on NU at natuwa ako. I thought some people would actually show up. That afternoon, I took care of graduation clearance at UP, which entailed walking from one building to another. I think I got heat exhaustion because I became so sleepy and nauseated. I actually didn’t wake up in time for Ayn’s arrival. I had to rush and put on a bra, etc…. haha. (Buti nga nakapagbra pa!). Ang sakit ng ulo ko nun. Chris bought a pack of cigs at the Ministop in Espana and filled the plastic with ice. I had a makeshift ice pack! It helped me recover enough to perform. Wala masyadong tao. Binaboy ko pa yung “felt so fine”, as usual. Pero ok naman as a whole. Si Roel pumapalya na naman. Sabi ba naman niya samin ni Ayn, “Uy, practice uli tayo… pumapangit na naman tayo eh!” Nagtinginan kami ni Ayn. Sabay pa kami eh: “Ikaw lang yun, no!” Haha. Si Jeff ng Soapdish, tuwng tuwa; kinanta niya yung start ng “Pretend We’re Smart” tsaka ginitara yung intro ng “Better View”. Tawanan kami nina Ralph. Ayaw nilang lumabas after that kasi wala daw silang pera. Nag Una Sikat Pares na lang kami nina Chris at Ayn. Sarap.

Tonight, we’re going to be fronting for Kamikazee at Millenia. Punta kayo. On the 19th, we’ll be at Subic with all the Backbeat Bands. CRS muna si Ayn tapos kain kami sa Ababu.
