Palm Sunday: Allan and I went to former candy guitarist Joey Santos' son Joshua's christening. Saw Joyjoy of Skies of Ember (I only found out that day that Joyjoy is Joey's uncle!) and had a good Chinese lunch. Went to Greenhills to have ourselves duped by cellphone repairmen. Went to Popular Days' recording in scary Tondo.
Monday: Allan picked me up and we hung out at Sharky's Timog. He wanted to drink away his woes. Texted Charles to join us and he did, but he was too woeful himself to really drink a lot. Allan regaled me with stories from old candy days that took place at that very same bar. We ended up drunk and we walked along Timog looking for coffee and hot chocolate, which we found at Burger Machine, Timog Food Plaza.
Tuesday: I can't recall what happened last Tuesday. I think there was a gig that night with The Youth and The Wuds at Mayric's. Yeah, that was it. We kept texting and texting Ralph but he wouldn't answer texts nor phone calls. Had Charles session for us. Pissed off some Wuds fans because they hated our instrumentals :D I dedicated the rest of the set to them. Roel kept doing gross things to Ayn like putting his feet on the table in front of her and she screamed. Probably pissed off one of The Wuds because it was so quiet and we were so noisy :D oops.
Wednesday: Met up with Eloha, Jann Paul, Charles and Allan to watch "The Passion" at Megamall. Ate at KFC and wandered around a bit to look for stuff to buy. Saw the never-ending line for "The Passion" and opted instead to catch "50 First Dates", which was definitely cool. At around 8 pm, we took ourselves to Sharky's and had some California iced tea… we were splattered in less than 30 minutes. Allan played his two indie compilation cds over the sound system. Texted Ayn to join us. Wrote about her experience on the back of Allan's Astroplus receipt while I was drunk: Si Ayn. Pagod yung Daddy ni Ayn na maghatid. Nag-commute si Ayn. She wore her Dead Kennedy's t-shirt and full goth [actually it was punk!] set-up so she wouldn't be raped. She walked all the way to Commonwealth. Nag-jeep lang siya to Philcoa!!! But she said that the scariest part was the taxi from Philcoa to Sharky's. Tingin daw ng tingin yung driver sa kanya sa rearview mirror. Tinanong sa kanya, "Ineng, nagbabanda ka ba?"
"Opo."
"Ah, parang Aegis?"
"Hindi po, manong. 'Bundok ni Satanas'."
Putangina!
Holy Thursday: No candyaudioline members met this day. Allan slept the whole day. I met with family members. Ayn went to my house. Roel was probably with… erm… someone. Ralph was in limbo.
Good Friday: Allan brought his player and some DVDs to my house; Eloha and Charles arrived and we all watched "Mallrats" and "Dogma". Bought a case of beer and some munchies at the corner grocer. We were bringing the stuff to our house when our new landlord arrived in his car. I begged Allan to stay back so the guy wouldn't see that we were planning to drink on the rooftop again… the case was heavy and Allan and Charles were having a hard time holding it. When the coast was clear, we stole upstairs with our drinks. Went up to the rooftop around midnight to hang out and play the guitar under the stars. We all fell asleep and they woke at around 5 am to leave… but Allan wanted to eat pancit canton so they ended up leaving at 6.
Black Saturday: Allan and I went to Tutuban Center to have his phone fixed at Joey's WellCom branch. Joey let us see his old candy pics where Allan was still thin. They listened to compilations over the store's sound system while waiting for the technician to fix Allan's phone. We ate snacks at KFC then bought some DVDs then bought baby things and then we gave Joey a ride home when he was finished with work. We ate dinner and then went to Mayric's for our Black Saturday gig. Ralph couldn't make it because he needed to be home early. No one was there. Koza Nostra played first, then Sadie, then Tether, then us. It was great… kaya lang ang kulit namin nung kami na kasi halos wala nang tao… we were goofing off onstage. Ate at Zamboanga chicken then went our separate ways.
Easter Sunday: Met up with Allan to go to the PopDays recording. I got to play my Fernando while they were laying in one song. Allan, like the producer that he is, slept through the whole thing. We then had dinner at 9 pm at Pares Kamuning before going home. Saw that Millennia was still closed and it didn't look as if it would open anytime soon.
