yehoo.
Ayn picked me up at around 9:30 and when we arrived at Mayric's, everyone was there (except Roel, who was still on his flight from Cebu!): Allan, Charles, John Paul, William and Ralph. Ralph was eating a pork chop meal, which was a relief because he looks so very, very, very thin now. He said that work has been hell for the past month and that he now has insomnia. It's not that all this has affected his appetite but that all the unhealthy parts of his lifestyle have refused to let him get fat. Remember the Colasa's jokes Allan was making about Ralph and the barbecue stick? Well, he wasn't that far from the truth after all. But it was really good to see him and I'm sure my other bandmates felt that way, too. Again, Allan's frivolous plans of disbanding candyaudioline have been foiled, mwahahahahaHAHAHAHA!
John Paul and William were two more refreshing faces as we hadn't seen them in a while. John Paul has been busy with studies while William has a controversy of his own, about which he reluctantly told me after a lot of wheedling on my part hehehe. Gosh. Dapat talaga magka Grand Buzz Night Reunion. Hindi lang alam ng mga tao na marami palang mga behind-the-scenes action hehehe. Exciting!
Superminty opened the night without keyboards, but they still impressed the people. Hebert and Acel kept asking, "Original nila yan???" in tones of disbelief. After 4 songs, Moonstar88 took the stage with their new member. We were getting nervous because they were about to finish their set and Roel had just arrived in Manila. He still had to work until the very last minute before rushing to Mayric's in record time for our set. Hats off to you, Roel!
We played a wonderfully loud set of four songs: An Empty You, Better View, Something Wrong and My Silver Chair. Hopefully, we'll get to practice again soon so we could refresh the old candy songs (which I really miss). During Empty, Roel took a long time to do the first "bagsak" which is supposed to set everyone off into instrumental, and it was amusing. Hindi rin kami kasi nagkakarinigan masyado sa stage and I couldn't hear myself at all. I was just hoping to get by in tune. Afterwards, people were joking Roel about that little mishap hehehe… but everyone said we played a great set and Charles said I didn't go out of tune in Something Wrong (even if Allan thinks I did :P beh!). It was fantastic to play together again and we were so loud that my ears felt funny when I stepped off the stage. Someone even said that we looked like the main act because we were much louder and rougher than the other sets that night. Yebah.
It wasn't a perfect set… we've had much better ones, but the fact that we were all together again was remarkable :D Nakakamiss talaga si Ralph… buti na lang aalis na siya sa trabaho niya next week hwehehehe! But of course, that's more because he's so pooped out from so much work than anything else…
Ayn had to go home early because she still had to finish some stuff for school so it was only Allan, Charles and Me who went to Timog Food Plaza for some Zamboanga chicken. Kakaiba talaga yung manok dun.
And then we went home.
I don't think we're going to push through with the Wow Philippines gig this Friday but I'm not sure about that. Buzz Night might be held on Black Saturday, but keep posted so you'll know kung tuloy. Ang tuloy yung Easter Sunday gig sa Millennia na medyo In BeTWEEn Days ang dating. More updates on this soon.
A scene
Candygirl: (to candyboy) Alam mo ba na kami na ni *********?
Candyboy: (with true pinoy shock and matching thrown-off-balance action) NGYEH!!!
Candygirlette: (laughing) para kang taga AngTV niyan eh!
Candygirl: (suddenly and with thrice the feeling of Candyboy's reaction and twice the facial expression) NGEEEHHH!!! (and much more calmly, without missing a beat) wag mo yang ilalagay sa blog ha.
