My number 09174788477 suddenly had "no access to network" since tuesday and i called their customer service 6 times to ask whats happening. They all said that i was near Legaspi Village and they were having some maintenance so its normal.
How can it be normal if everyone 2 feet away from me is enjoying a full-barred signal? so i waited until friday but its still the same. It was so frustrating coz ive been using that number since 99 as far as i can recall. Goodluck naman.
Then one customer rep said i should go visit one of their service centers so i can have it replaced. It turned out na hindi pala pwede. Lalo lang daw akong nafrustrate.
Ewan. akala ko lang malakas ako sa globe. AMP.

Blame it on the weather.
i have been feeling sick since monday. but yesterday, my joints started hurting, i had a terrible terrible cough and my eyes are burning like hell.
i cant even think straight or do anything. im trying to make jokes and laugh but my god the pain. if laughter is the best medicine, i've finally realized that one cannot be a doctor for himself.
while i was waiting for a cab downstairs, i feel like im going to faint. my knees started to shake and everything was so blurry coz my eyes were teary.
now i have to eat so i could take some meds. i hate this day.

The Liempo Post.
I havent been blogging about my life lately. Does that mean im not self-centered anymore? hahahaha
After a week of eating and eating.. (starting from Ivan's Birthday Dinner), i think ive never eaten so much seafood in my life. Those Dampa Tempura and Sashimi is driving me nuts. We had dinner again last thursday (same area, different restaurant), and last saturday was the day i said to myself... oh my god i should try not to eat anything solid the next two weeks. after four hours, it didnt happen. It was Abhie and Pao' Wedding, (full of sea creatures again) and my uncle's welcome dinner at han pao.
my god. ilang hayop ang nakain ko sa loob ng tatlong araw na yon?
Ive had a high blood pressure the past three weeks. When I started working, all i get for lunch is that really yummy breaded porkchop sa jolly jeep. just in case you know a porkchop rehab, give me a call. the liempo addiction is not good for anyone's health, mind you.
it reminded me, may nagbukas na baliwag lechon sa tabi ng andoks dito sa may simbahan, and i ate liempo for dinner. i got so excited i forgot my veins are going to explode. ang kapal pa ng mukha kong mag garden salad kaninang lunch at pineapple juice.
should i like wear a bracelet saying... thou shall not eat liempo.
nung dinner ko with my relatives my auntie was like... "hindi kami nagdutyfree so walang perfumes ngayon, pero may chocolates na dala *looks at me* dalawa lang sa yo ha." then my other uncle got my attention and said.. "sinong fashion icon mo? si edgar ortiz?"
O_o
Bitches.
Im not that fat excuse me. pero its nakakahiya if i claim im just healthy. coz i definitely dont feel that i am.
*sigh* i really need to stay away from liempo. or promise myself i shouldnt eat that ever again.
anyway, i burned 6 mice this evening. weird. kasi its one of my skills, catching mice. i just really love torturing them. so what i did is, hinawakan ko sa buntot after grabbing it like a mad cat, then bubuhusan ko ng lighter fluid tapos ibabato ko dun sa apoy na sisindihan ko sa sahig using the fluid too. it was so funny when they run burning. like.. OMG FIRE FIRE FIRE. hahahahaha cute cute burning mice.
(edited: omg i read this part and it sounded psychotic O_o but what the heck )
i just hate mice. and that episode is not triggered by the baliwag liempo.

The supposed 2nd-half Eheads Playlist
Yesh msgd me at YM and LS texted me regarding the myx interview of Raimund, Marcus and Buddy. Apparently, they showed the playlist that was never played that night. And I got this from Pau's Blog.

I dont think im ready to hear Minsan that night. I am preetttyy sure that i will go home, for the first time in my life, coming home from a rock concert with swollen eyes, not because somebody stole my phone or i was trapped inside a killer moshpit, but because of one song.
God, Anticipation.
Im still not over this. And as ive heard, it wasnt over as well.

Ang Hindi Pa Huling El Bimbo
August 30 was one of the most anticipated day in my life. When the news came out two months ago, i freaked out. Knowing that the band that influenced most of where i wanted to be, is going to have a one-night concert. Rumors spread online like fire, making one REALLY BIG sponsor back out. Four days before the concert, it was announced that the free concert is still pushing through, but it wont be longer free, instead putting a 800 and 1300 price on the admission. the tickets were released on ticketnet two days before 30th so ivan, abhie, and i were texting each other on getting it early in the morning (considering that 9am is really early for me). And then Mamu (as usual... one of the people i hold really close in my heart by giving me unattainable things, making it possible for me to have those things that money cant ever buy) called me, telling that im on the VIP list.
Saturday morning has never been that sunny and i woke up anticipating all the songs that the Eraserheads will play. God there was no time to review those albums. But as Yeshyee would put it, those Eheads lyrics are engraved in our hearts. And it was almost the contemporary nursery rhyme for my generation. (Wow... ambigat naman ng dramz. wtf!)
5pm and i had mixed emotions going on inside me. I was annoyed with the rain, i was eager to be there in a flash, i was excited to jump and im really nervous, happy, emotionally weird to see the whole band together again. Thank God my sister's car passed by and they dropped us on Mcdo 32nd street to meetup with Ivan, Rochelle and Joan. Walked from there up to Hi Streets and went all the way to the VIP entrance. (oh yeah!)
Ivan and I were eating Fish and Co. after walking around saying to familiar faces and friends like Tonet and LuI, Tintin of Max FM, Lou, Cris, Chuckie, Meme, Jeff of Soapdish, Raymond Fabul, Enzo of Severo, Bryan of Taken By Cars, Chino of Silent Sanct, Miro of Stonefree, Carlos of UpDharma and Boss Darwin of Soupstar. Then the countdown began.
A big screen with a 20-minute digital countdown started making the crowd get more and more excited by the moment. And our guess was right, it should be Alapaap that would open this unbelievable night. The goosebump-induced sight of the whole band plus the BIG LCD Screens, lights and the fireworks started the concert with a motherfucking blast. Ivan said that it is VMA Material. Seriously, i wouldnt miss it for the world.

I listed the songs coz i almost wanna make a paragraph on each. What we're doing, what we're seeing but come on. All in all, its just fucking crazy. Mostly the backdrop was showing old Eheads Pictures, Snow while they play Fruitcake, Kaliwete and With A Smile video (tangina memories nung 90s), Funny Komiks and a lot of veerry interesting visuals. Trip to Memory lane talaga.
When the screen had the countdown again, i was like... WHOA. may intermission? ilang songs ba to? they havent played ang huling el bimbo, superproxy, magasin, minsan, torpedo, pare ko, spoliarium and other songs that still plays in my head. sa first song pa lang, sulit na ang kung magkano man yon.
so i went outside the area when rae and dianne texted me. they were with ryan, ls, and jeff. the network was jammed coz i cant send a text and it was so hard to even connect a call. after a few minutes, mamu called me and weve met on the barricades between VIP and SVIP (na in my opinion should be called SVIPAI... Super VIP As In.) and took a few pictures, bumming 4 cigarette sticks to Tricia Pablo (lifesaver talaga. halos manghingi ako sa photographer nung nasa gitna pa ako), and got a free mini-burger and a glass of coke kasi LIBRE sa SVIPs ang Food. sabi ko kay Trish sana may dala akong plastic para kukuha ako sa waiter tapos ibebenta ko sa VIP area hahahahaha.
and when the timer was cut... then seeing the whole band without Ely made my heart beat like crazy. It's either he got pissed when everybody was shouting Group Hug or something bad really happened. Unfortunately, he collapsed backstage. When he was singing lightyears, he had this look on his face seen on the screen. na akala ko iiyak. I guess he was feeling weird na when he was singing the 15th song kasi i kinda heard that he cant do long gigs. Then i got a message from Mamu na "Xav, uwi na. Eli collapsd backstage". And then... Lally Buendia read a letter.
that one minute they made us pray, i was thinking... God please... this shouldnt be over. please make ely get the reward of enjoying the success of making this country sing one song together. please make the whole band forget all the differences they had and end whatever fight they have. and i hope theyre still there as the new generation emerges making them their influence and keep the fire burning. please let ely be ok.
and 2am, i called Chill Figueroa and she said Ely was already stable.
Still... the Eraserheads arent destined to even end a "one-night" affair.
