the itchyworms video launch.

ive seen itchyworms' "akin ka na lang" video. grabe ang kwela. wala pa ring kupas ang apat. kaya sobrang abang pa rin ako ng second album nila. "noontime show" ata ang title. andaming tao. whuuuuu. ang init. si echo pa yung naghost. nanalo pako ng shirt. hehehe.



dan and rowena were there din. kasama sila ni joel. kaso sa dami ng tao di ko na sila nakiausap after hale's set.

peeps... bili tayo ng album sa september ha. sobrang worth it yun like itchyworms' first album. :)

*images by: anna (tababoy@gmail.com)*

ehem.

*thanks anna (tababoy@gmail.com) dami ko ng nanakaw na screencaps. hehe*

few tweaks.

sudden change of lifestyle. ewan ko lang. i do enjoy the gig nights and all, pero pag gising ka ng 10am until 8 am of the next day.. parang kulang na lang eh magdugo ang ilong ko. yep. i live the life.

nagsignup ako sa fitness first, pero wala ring nangyari. di ako makapaggym. lumipad na yung 2000 ko papasok sa credit card. at kahit sandaling pagpatong ng paa ko sa treadmill eh hindi nangyari. hay. sana maayos ko na sked ko.

chapter 11 pa lang ako sa hp6. dahil wala ring oras. isang malaking pagkakamali. i never took the warning:spoilers inside thread sa pex. antanga ko. .. spoiler: albus dumbledore died. i was about to cry while reading that. fuckit.

hmm.. do i really need to mellow down? para kasing nagiging uber close ako sa new found friends. bigla na lang akong napapahiya. some people might read this, at malamang alam nila kung anong issue ang tinutukoy ko. i didnt justify my side. i feel like im doing the right thing na i-V.O. ko ang itsura nya sa mga sinisiraan nya. eh.. masyado akong naaliw. may ibang naasar. na hindi ko rin maintindihan kung bakit kailangang magsuot ng goody shoes. eh hindi naman sha yung na-offend. weird. pero hayaan na.

64 messages every 6 hours. sumuko ang "0" button ko. namroblema tuloy ako sa spacebar. naubos pa load ko. aarrrgghh. i wasnt expecting for anything in return. pero kids, sana maappreciate man lang ng tinutulungan di ba? di na uso ngayon yun. pakiramdam siguro nila eh sumasabit ako sa kasikatan. weird. kasi nung di pa sikat, andun nako. dalawang beses na to. pareho lang ng storya. di nako natuto. putang ina.

note to self: wag magmagandang loob. ilang beses kong ginawa, ilang beses akong napahiya. tangina lang daw nung babaeng maitim na nakaskirt tapos troso ang hita. kung magmaldita akala mo may-ari ng record label. pakshet ka. kapal ng mukha mo. baka maging popular ka pa sa post ko pag nilagay ko pangalan mo. mayaman ka man (yun ay KUNG mayaman ka nga), mukha ka pa ring mabaho. tangina ka.

rockestra.

i went to the ROCKESTRA rehearsal. and boy, ive never had my goosebumps for that long.

almost 2 hours ata akong kinikilabutan. the orchestra was amazing. the songs were arranged unbelievably. sandwich, twisted halo, sugarfree, silent sanctuary, cambio and imago were there to watch. may interview and photoshoot rin kasi.

if you are what you call a "musician", once you missed this event, its like sleeping over a day when saturn is near our planet.

[none]

do i really have to post na may HARRY POTTER 6 nako?

di na siguro.

i have to... sleep...

[none]

(DISCLAIMER: this is not a first hand experience. though my mom was rushed to the hospital yesterday, this might feel worse.)

its really sad when depression strikes in the family. before, i thought it was the worst thing that happened to myself. i felt depressed since i was 14. just in a manner of speaking. but when depression is uttered by a licensed psychiatrist, for your mother.. that's where the disturbing part starts.

its so sad when you feel so hopeless of having the reason behind a loved one's depression. frustration might look a bit annoying, but its really what you'll feel. ironically, it'll also make you feel depressed instead of lifting ur hopes up for him/her.

have you seen your mom drop a tear while smiling? freaky right? but when you REALLY get involved with this one, i swear to god it'll break your heart over and over.

i went to the hospital to pay a visit. and when she saw me, heard me asking "ano po nararamdaman nyo" (since she has this dextrose attached to the back of her hand).. she just dropped a tear. and i almost cried. so i tried my best 10 minutes of my day to hold my emotions, and left.

helpless. sobra. parang unsolvable math problem.

robotics.

had the worst saturday.

southmall at 4pm made me nauseous. yun na ata ang pinakatraffic na lugar dito sa pilipinas. mahihiya ang makati. walang pinipiling oras. ang daming tao for the autograph signing. i have a schedule sa the fort ng 9. di na kami umabot. champ was really sick and bryan has to drive the vehicle. i was supposed to be dropped off sa c5 pero sobrang late na so sumama na lang ako sa hyatt for a private party. it was jacqs bday din pala so its seemed like we celebrated in a way. i had an 1150 sched sa phi bar. i was supposed to be 10 minutes early pero dahil sa bwisit na taxi driver, nahuli kami ng pulis (at ako ang sinisi ng hayup). so i have to run from megastrip to metrowalk. so thats like mega run the metro for me.

i met datchi nung sunday. it was aldrin the photographer's birthday pero medyo di ko pa alam ikikilos ko nun. aia and i talked regarding the things she need and kung paano ioorganize ang lahat.

yesterday, IMAGO and HALE had a taping sa MRS. kami nina Tim ang nauna with Jep, and LT. nung galing kaming cafeteria ng abscbn, pabalik ng dressing room, nakasalubong namin si Roll. i asked him kung ano ginagawa nya dun. yun pala may last minute taping din sila and pareho pa kami ng calltym. Then sumama muna sina champ sa room namin habang naguusap kami ni sheldon about the emails ive been receiving lately. It was really fun seeing both bands in one room. medyo nagkahassle regarding some stuff pero sooobrang saya naman after. Zach was so eager to get his playstation so nagpunta silang greenhills. omnie was so sick kaya nauna na sila pero champ was color coding so naghintay kami til 7. buti nakahabol si kaya napanood nya naman yung both takes. side a and cueshe were also there.

nalibre pa kami ni champ ng dinner then he dropped LT and nina sa EDSA then nagpababa ako sa Podium. he's so freakin sick. i told him and sheldon na magpunta sa doctor since hindi na nakakatuwa ang mga ubo nila. after that, i went to starbucks vito cruz to meet trish ng sandali then diretso mayrics for sugarfree, pedicab and 6cyclemind.

after, nagpunta kami ng eastwood coz we were invited by darwin kasi 4th anniv pala ng 6cycle. i saw most of the soupstar family and keiko's sister as well. tama nga si darwin. ngaragan nga coz 4am na kami nkauwi. pero grabe si DK. nagboard exam pa sha before going to abs tapos may calltime pa sha ng 6am for blue ketchup's new video. and.. si KYMIE ang LEAD ROLE!!!! woohoo! go kimoy!!!!

kanina, aia and i went to see the pinoy blonde premiere. humabol si danica with her since Zach and Dylan is hosting the premiere. Pati si che. the visuals were good. astig nga yung idea kahit mejo off yung pagkakalagay ng songs sa scenes, pero astig pa rin in a way.

haaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy. oo. pagod ako.

Hale's updated sked.

Thank You Soupstar (Darwin) for making me the newest family member of the "astig-est" production existing. (Sandwich, Pedicab, Blue Ketchup, Milk N Money, Pop Filter and a lot more..)

Thank you Imago. Aia, Zach, Tim, Maps.. You just dont know how hard it is to contain the gratitude of telling Darwin my capability as your RM. I am overwhelmed that the band that gets my respect, my love and all, would appreciate my being. I love you. You know that you are my second family eversince.

Thank you Candice and Arvin. I miss you so much. Sobra. Iniisip ko, family ko pa rin kayo. Nagpunta lang sa states but eventually, makakasama uli. Hope to see you soon.

Imago people, AKI. Grabe. I am sharing this experience with you.

To Papa God and all his blessings. Thanks for making me feel worthy.

good tuesday.

i watched the myx countdown early in the morning.. to just check on the new videos played. channel surf.. stuff.. then i noticed that Hale's "the day u said.." hasnt played yet. and it was already number 3. when mymp was number 2, i just uttered.. "oh god.." then covered my mouth.

minutes later i found out that my hormones just wanted me to see Hale's highest slot. Number 1. :)

MTV diyes, the Myx countdown, radio stations, album sales.. geez,, what more can the boys ask for? a billboard and a movie? i was just a bit scared of the sudden boost of Hale's career. Easy come, easy go. Still, i can see that the acceptance of the country has been so overwhelming.. and i guess this is just the start.

So champ texted, then i called him, telling na mas masaya pa yata ako sa kanila. lolz. so this is how my day started.

Then i called aia regarding some stuff (cant remember what.). thing is.. another great news. *saka ko na uli iaa-announce* may hindi pako nakakausap e.

Then russel called (HALE manager), and since the line was breaking up.. i just got this part." meeting with Sue (?), shangrila edsa, (then the date), coffee beanery.. event organizer.. wants to talk to u.." and i asked why.. at ang sagot ni russ.. "malakas ka e. hehe". so i said, ill be going to dish later anyway kaya dun na lang kami magusap.

*sigh* dream job. dream friends. dream girl. dream kid. dalawa na lang... solb nako. :)

[none]

i have offered my past to your ghost that immortalized my undying promise. words i have tried to forget while it lingers around your pretty face.

now i can see you smile with all the sincerity your heart can show. that little four-letter word created your world around somebody's arms that now wraps you every night.

you wore your dress like it was your new skin, and your beauty keeps on breaking my heart. i am not in this right state of mind to love another but that another showed me everything ive dreamed of. and i feel so guilty of hurting myself for not getting the thing i didnt want.

did i want you? or im in this denial stage that you're now wearing this happiness i thought we'll be having together. its just so weird having this ache that makes my stomach churn and yet, my tears were held back. coz i know i shouldnt be hurt on seeing how happy you are now. coz i am too.

if ever we had this second chance, what couldve been the chances of getting the things i have right now? its just so weird that you havent told me you're permanently going away. closure was merely a fragment you wont use for my sake.

i thought we have saved something else on something i assume i wrecked..

and now you're gone..

best wishes. hope you found the one.

Phi Bar

i wouldve been really really tired, but its such a fun night, i cant get to sleep ng di pinopost to.

ive met a Lot of people sa phi bar ngayon, and i got to talk with darwin (soupstar prod) and yey... looks like im gonna be having my best job. ever. *crossing fingers*. nakapagusap din kami nina DK (6cyclemind'S RM) and LT (sandwich's RM) and ansaya talaga. 330 na nga kami naguwian, at kaya pa nga napauwi dahil kailangan na ng iba. hehe.

monty and lee (mayonnaise) were also there and i got the chance to talk to them coz personal friend naman talaga yun nina alex/shel/champ/(hale actually). i got to meet rye and ney of 6cyclemind na rin coz we hung out pa after the gig. nice people actually.

Ene and i chatted since iintroduce dapat ako ni Russ sa kanya. good thing she remembers me from way back pa. akala ko hindi na, nahihiya tuloy akong lumapit dati. one cool person. grabe.

*hohum* tulog nako. mashado na tong masaya.

*champuy: pag eto nabasa mo balang araw, at hindi mo nadala ang shirt ko at ang dried mangoes/"gitara".. this proves na mag-sustagen premium ka na nga.
