"Vida de Malate"

Saturday, July 21 2007. The night started around 10:30pm. I came from my Nene after eating dinner with her. Ne, Sarap ng pasta nyo, Yummy. I need to take a nap and woke up by a call. I over slept... siguro sa pagod.

We then met around 11 pm and head on to Vida de Malate.

here are some pictures grabbed from the video that they took.

After our set (4 songs), I've recieve comments from 2 people. Of course sa mga friends namen given na yun, hahaha. One is from the sound technician assisting us. He loved our soundcheck "Master of Puppets", and here is what he said "Ayus sir metal, ang galing ng tugtugan nyo". After fixing my things, I went to the control box to secure my bass guitar. A guy there commented that we sounded like the metal of the 80's. "There is that distinct sound of your group which sounded like 80's metal e." I just told him we are influenced non other than the early years of Metallica and Megadeth. It's a good thing he loved it. Later on I've learned that he was the owner of Vida de Malate.

"Birthdays..."

Over my experience, July is the time of the year were party is almost everyday and everywhere. I have so many friends whose birthdates are all in july. I myself have a friend whose birthday is the same as mine.

This is one of the party I've attended. Acel's cousing Kathleen turned 18 last July 15. Here are the pictures.

Next: Bangus Rocks Manila...
This coming saturday na pala ito... see you all..

My Bday is coming next week, and you all know hat I don't celebrate my bday. Knowing also this year my bday was on a thursday and I'll be having a three day seminar from 25-27. Anyway, let's see what happens...

"Short one"

I have'nt updated this in ages!

Wow. I've seen the Movie Transformers. All I can say is "More than meets the eye!" Super panalo ito, lalo na kung transformers fan ka. I grew up watching this cartoon.

I also got a new phone for a suncellular post paid plan.

I'll update this as soon as I can.

With my friends...

"Mi Corazon"

Happy Anniversary!

Ang post na ito ay para sa iyo Mahal ko. Just wanted you to know how You and JP made my life extra special. Although we have our misundestanding and difference, we always manage to work it out. I know and feel that you love me too. Thank you for taking care of me as a man in your life, friend, kuya, classmate, ka barkada. Sorry for my flaws and weaknesses. Please, always be patient in understanding me.

Im so blessed that you were in my arms again. I love you...

Today: June 18, 2007...

"Ipod syapol"

Just bought this mp3 player the other day for P800. Great buy! MP3 player na, may flash drive ka pa. I just added another P100 for the earphones at CD-R king. Great sounding earphone if you'll ask me. Thats for now...

"Friendster!?"



Never knew many of my friends in friendster view my profile...
here is a picture... Mainit init pa!

"Long time post..."

Been busy in the last few days after the holy week. So whats up!?

Trabajo

It's back to work... but last friday Letran was in Subic. It was supposedly an outing but for me it turned out to be a fieldtrip. True? Anyway it was also fun being with my officemates.

Bangus!

We have succesfully recorded one song. Its just a rough demo of one of our songs. Details on why we are doing this will follow. Ayoko maudlot e.

Mi Familia

It was a sad monday evening when my cousing Nonet passed away. May she rest in peace. She has suffered lung problems. We love you!

The Long vacation

I was still missing the times when we were in puerto galera. Hanep, nakaka miss naman talaga ang trip na iyon. Life changing experience talaga. Sobrang na enjoy ko especially with Nars with me. Four days kaming magkasama and with that I had the chance to know her deeper. As in... count one to ten tulog na kagad sya. hehehe. Peace tayo ha! We really had fun together and was able to understand that life is not all about problems. May mga bagay na masayang gawin at madaming bagay ang maaring makapag pasaya sa atin. Di lang puro problema... Lots of pictures were taken during that vacation. So many, I cannot even choose which to post. We will sure be back there.

Mi Corazon

Here is a Thank You card Nars gave me. Super touch ako men. Hehehe, I didn't expect this one. Sa sobrang tuwa ko right there and there I opened it and read it infront of her. Salamat sa iyo Nars. You always knew when to make me happy with these simple things you do. I really appreciate the card... Here is the picture...

"Bakasyon Grande"

I spent my holy week in Puerto Galera. We were there from wednesday to saturday. It was a life changing experience. I was able to relax and at the same time intoxicate myself. Yep2x sarap magpakalasing tapos mag banana boat! hahaha. Tanggal lasing mo tapos pede ka na naman uminom.

So many stories and pictures to share but i have to upload it.

Naku ang saya ko talaga. SUPER!!

"Moments!"

La lang! Gusto ko lang mag lagay ng moments that I always look forward to!

Moment, moments, moments!

Here is a picture from the window in our comfort room!

Everytime I reflect here is what i always see! I wonder whats inside thst building?

Here, my P.O.V. while working!

"Happy Battle"

"Ang buhay natin walang GUARANTEE,
Ang pag-ibig walang WARRANTY,
ang lahat ay TEMPORARY.
Pero ang bawat sandaling IKAW ang kasama,
ay parang ETERNITY!"

Corny ba? Well this is true. I sometimes don't want to let go of the moment which you feel like it's forever. As the song of Aerosmith goes "I just want to stay with you in this moment forever" from I don't want to miss a thing. Eto na naman ako nag "High Fidelity". It's been like this for me eversince. I relate myself to music. Napaisip tuloy ako, Just now. I'm palnning to make a compilation CD for Nars. I've gave her one back then but I need to have a new one. this will be cool. I'll be including a liner note for each of the song on why is it included on the list. That will make it different from the other one. Naku dami ko na kaagad naisip like "Wait forever", "50 ways" etc... I'm excited already.

Magustuhan nya sana... Always looking forward spending some time with her. even for just a short while.

Some pictures from last thursday's gig at freedom bar. Bawal ang naka itim. hehehe. Again, see you next thursday.

(top: Bangus! Bawal naka itim. Bottom: With Pitz, Thanks sa pictures and Video)

"Eto Pa"

Seryosong usapan... Beer + Yosi + Masarap na Pulutan = Seryosong Usapan na ito! Look...

Our trip to Galera has been set with minor problems on hand. But anyway, hope things work out. We are all looking forward for this occasion. Even me. I have so many things in mind on this trip. Who is coming, who I would like to come, what are we going to do. It's an adventure... Again..

Yesterday I was not with my self... I'm a bit on the bad mood but I don't want to show it. I don't want to ruin someones day with what I'm feeling. Until Nars lend a hand if I needed someone to talk I can go to her. Actually, I was not into talking that time. I just want to be on a different place and just be silent and observe things. Some sort of a change of atmosphere. But things suddenly got better. As I was about to leave, I received a phone call from my sister. She was talking and told me she was alright and is recovering real good. I was happy that time. Afterwards I still went on to see Nars. Thanks to her. Nabawasan ang stress kahit papano. We watched "The whole ten yards" while she was doing something. Quality time na sa akin yun. It's already late, the movie is over, she was finished on what she was doing. I wanted to leave na but she insist I stayed a little bit more. kwentuhan pa daw sandali. So I stayed a little bit more. Interesting topic that time. Medyo na Badtrip ako ng may makwento sya. Pero ayos lang. She was telling me this because na badtrip din daw sya. It was nice talking about how it all was... Natuwa ako.

Haaay ewan ko ba kung ano ginagawa ko. But I'm happy...

"171st Post"


Gumimik naman tayo!

Last saturday, we were suppose to play at Kolumn bar, but something came up and our drummer can't make it to play. So instead we just met up at Danny's grill. We need to discuss future plans on our Puerto Galera Trip. It has been set already... Sana madami pa makasama. The more the merrier. Wow... I'm really looking forward to this trip. Looking forward to relax and be carefree. Puerto Galera Here we come!!!

Well it was a relaxing saturday night after all. Why? Cold beer + Chicken Sisig + Maki + Calamares + Frog Legs at madami pang iba... Well you know if the girls are there = Food trip!

"My Love Blog"

What a title. So strong and solid I can't find any words to tell. So how is it been?

Do I really know whats the true meaning of this word? I mean, everybody has their own definition, but come to think of it, it really depends on the times you've gone through and the persons involved. Right? For me love is a very delicate, strong, confusing, emotions, feelings instances and even dreams. A Love so strong it made me do things I can't imagine capable of doing. Why things go on as if it was meant to happen or at least you don't expect it to be. Either bad or good, it really doesn't matter, when you are in love, nothing can stop you. You just have to be yourself and let love find its way back to you. As in loving without receiving or expecting anything in return. You just put your self in a way that you don't care for your self anymore but to the person who you care the most. That you are prepared on all the things what ever happened and whats going to happen. In my life I've never felt like this before. It's really different! as in... But still... no regrets... I have loved and still in love. And I would do anything to make sure to the one I care the most is happy. For sure It sometimes feel painful... why? it is because when you feel pain, it's real. You are in love.

Moments of Eternity -- When we are together... Yun lang masayang masaya na ako. even for just a short time... No regrets... As Meatloaf would say "I would Do Anything For Love..."

Nars, I've said this to you. No matter what... No matter what...

"The disposable hero!?"

I just have to blog this ei!

Something happened last night. It's that spontaneous thing again that hit me. Oh not just me, everyone else's too. Something happened and made me test how I can prove my totality as a person. I mean prove my worth. "It was meant to happen" I must say.

Nars and I talked about things we don't usually talk about. Admitted our mistakes and cried about it... As of the moment my thoughts are not flowing on the right direction so just keep up with what I'm saying here. All I know is that we were comforting each other and the next thing we know we were giving each other a hug. Maybe not for love, but for the comfort it brings on why we are here on this difficult situation...

This morning I received a text message from Nars. It was touching that I have to shed a tear while reading it. Here it goes...

"Gud am! Thanks so much 4 being der for me wen i needed u most... ure not a dsposable hero bt a noble person wiling 2 luv nd giv w/o xpectng anytng in return...m so tenkful f 4 being blesed w/sum1 lyk u...sna d k mgsawa...&m sory iv put u in a cituation lyk dis causing u pain"

I say no more...

"Yet Another"

Another month has passed and I can’t believe its already March. Now where should I start?

Mi Trabajo
Work was fine. Pressuring but at least I was able to accomplish the task at hand. I got to travel last week. We were in Abucay, Bataan. Work is coming in at high speed but at least I can still manage. Happily working? Inspired? Well maybe…

Mi Mania
Tonyo bought the Dinky Jackson guitar last night. Wow that’s super. Gigs were hectic last last week. Last Thursday we were with Kiko Machine. It was fun watching them perform. It was also nice of freedom bar calling us “House Band” hehehe. Cool. Tonyo’s guitar was super but I haven’t seen it in action with him. Last night I know nagpuyat yun para kalikutin nya yun. Anyway Congratulations to him with his new guitar. You Deserve that men! As for me, I need to practice tonight. It’s been three days without holding Ynes. I need to play later… Hihimasin kita Ynez, Humanda ka…

Mi Familia
I went to my sister’s yesterday. Actually I was not comfortable seeing her because we always argue on things. Malaki kase atraso ko sa kanya e. Anyway, ganun lang talaga kame siguro magkapatid kase 2 lang kame. But I still feel guilty sometimes. I never proved how much I love her because I cannot give something that she needs. We talked yesterday and it was an enlightening moment for all of us. I think she was just scared with the fact that she is having her kidney transplant this Friday. “Lord help her… thank you!”

Mi Corazon
Bluskake. I myself don’t know why and how it happened but I’m happy to say that she gave me her trust and that’s super. I can’t name names as of the moment since it will only complicate things. Let’s just call her NARS. Yes, Nars. Something happened in an unexpected way. I don’t know how it came about but I guess it was meant to happen when Nars reached out and we were able to talk again. I never had seen her like this before. I never imagined how this could have happened to her. The first time we talk I didn’t know what to do or say, but it just came out naturally on me to confess what I truly feel about her. I Love her and I can’t let this happen to the one I cared the most. What can I do? But help. Sometimes it pays to love and not expect anything in return or in other words “Pinagpapala daw ang hindi mainipin!” As she was saying, “of all the people, why did I spoke to you about this?” Now, this is my message to you:

Nars,
"I know you’re in a difficult situation right now. With all the people surrounding you at home, school, etc. and you are in a fragile and vulnerable state. Let me first thank you for trusting me on this. I will never do anything to hurt you and I hate to see you like this. You deserve so much more. Don’t let anyone try to bring you down. Hope you’ll be enlightened to have the courage to do the things you must do and what is right. May you find the right moment to make things the way they should be. I’m with you all the way. A lot of people are getting hurt and got involved and I don’t want to confuse anyone on what is going on right now between you and me. But I can understand how it’s so difficult for you. May you find enlightenment on this. I’m just here and will never leave you. Konting tiis nalang Nars, kaya mo yan…"
