i'm thinking of purchasing a guitar and a digital reverb because i just figured that the local rj guitar that i bought ages ago had sounded so thin it isn't fit for recording anymore. someone suggested i buy a new set of pick-up for it. that's the most economical thing to do i guess, but after pondering on the socio-political impact of having a very nice guitar, i decided i will just buy a new one. and the digital reverb is for the sound enhancement so i can do some the edge-style of playing. i just love playing the guitar parts on chris tomlin's "not to us."

medyo inaantok na lang

so i was finally able to get enough sleep. and i said goodbye to a heavy body and a light head. hello pimples. we had a very simple worship set this morning. kuya art played guitar while singing then i played bass. kuya pete was on the keyboards and kuya manny played drums. music was a little loose but the revelation of truths about God was clearly expressed. it's been long since i last played the bass and i was at a loss tweaking the levels of the amp. i just can't get the right tone. since putting on the new strings for the bass, we've been having slight problems with it's sound. it somehow sounds metallic. hehe. we sang a couple of tagalog songs then capped it with two english songs. the youth was unable to help us out. but that was ok, since they've been up to many things lately and i think they deserve the needed rest. school finals is on the way and they have to tone down with the ministry.

i set up a friendster and a yahoogroup account for plungefest. it will be getting some attention real soon. i asked the youth band to gather as many youth as they can. to spread the word, so when the launching of the event comes, many people have already known about it. if you're reading this blog and you have a friendster account add as up: plungefest@yahoo.com. don't forget to join our mailing list, you can find the address on the friendster profile. bye for now.

under the bright lights

under the bright lights

inaantok ako.

i was running low on sleep the past days because i've been very busy with work lately. last night, it was already twelve o'clock when we left the site in san bartolome, novaliches. there was a slight drizzle during the installation and that accounts for my seemingly heavier feeling when i woke up this ehem.. afternoon. hehe. but i have to go to office to continue on with some stuff and possibly return back to the site later this afternoon.

we installed a 190-kg rectifier, it was about 7-foot and is made up of really tough steel. when we were carrying the equipment, this singaporean guy was giving orders in english. but somewhere during the carrying process, when the equipment almost fell off something, really funny happened. because the singaporean didn't realised he was already speaking in his language. hehe. nataranta.

my head is spinning. i need to sleep more. and eat more. gary v's ablaze concert this evening. all the people at home will be going, except for my kuya and me.

ministop

i had my lunch at ministop a while ago and sat at the first available chair i can find. when your in the makati area, it's really difficult to find a seat at convenience stores specially when it's lunch time. there was this guy, about sixty years old or so and was talking in perfect english. i though he was talking to the lady on the other table because his head was turned to her direction. it took me some time to realise that the lady was not his companion because she has this frown on her face while eating. the man was talking about houses being burned down and things falling on houses. it turns out he was talking to noone else. he was talking to himself. he was drinking coke 1.5 and have already drunk half of it. the man doesn't look dirty at all and his grammar and diction were correct. i just wondered what could have happened. i quickly finished my lunch and left.

tuloy ang song expo

sa wakas natuloy rin yung song expo namin kahapon. nung last week kasi di natuloy dahil gabi na silang dumating. buti kahapon nakahabol sila dors at sila ate aret. natapos kami quarter to eleven na kaya gutom na gutom na ako pag-uwi. di ko na nga naibigay yung susi kila ate sherlyn dahil tulog na sila nung pumunta ako sa kanila.
earlier nung pumunta ako sa kanila para hiramin yung susi nakita ko si elisha suot yung bago niyang sapatos. ipinakita niya sa akin sabay tanong "tito how do i look?" hehe. nakakatuwa dahil pinasuot pa niya sa nanay niya yung bagong damit rin na binili para sa kanya.

ang sakit ng binti ko kakatakbo. tapos nag sit-ups ako kaya ayun ang sakit ng tiyan ko kapag tumatawa. pumayat na raw ako, yung tiyan ko medyo lumiit na. wala na ang danger na mag-blackout ako sakaling suutin ko yung mga pantalon ko. hehe.

happy birthday dors and ate aret!

nag-surprise party kami kay dors at ate aret kagabi. nagdala ako ang cake, may mga nagdala rin ng ibang pagkain kaya parang potluck ang dating. may ice cream, barbecue, kfc, spaghetti, juice na bubble gum flavor, sinigang na hipon at pagket na hindi napansin. hehe. tapos nag webcam session kami kay kuya erap na nasa ireland. may balak sya para sa akin eh, hehe. kung ano man yun, sa proper time ko na sasabihin, baka maudlot eh. hehe. gamit namin pang- session yung laptop ni junior. ang ganda nung camera nya pati nung headset, masyadong maliliit kaya nakakailang gamitin sa simula. ok rin sa yahoo messenger, nakikita mo na rin yung kausap mo ng realtime. umuwi ako sobrang busog. nahilo tuloy ako. hehe.

binigyan ako ni ryan ng cd last saturday. yung simpatico ng velocity girl pati yung mga demos ng apple orchard. na-miss ko yung velocity girl. sophomore year ko ata nung college nung huli ko silang napakinggan. isa sila sa favorite bands ko, though di sila christian. magaling na singer si sarah shannon. yung demo ng apple orchard, astig. parang sugargliders yung nakikita kong similarity sa boses ni ryan. laid back yung music nya. pang lazy summer afternoon ang setting. saka ok rin yung recording kahit four-track lang yung gamit nya. "waiting in line is such a waste of time...."

lazy lazy mid afternoon

i was wasting my time away on the computer this afternoon, i figured i'd check the rum and monkey website. i answered some tests and read some articles that i find interesting. there are also name generators which i really find very funny. i can't remember how i stumbled across this page. hehe.

we will be having a practice today at errol's studio and it will be our first time (for me, second time for the other guys) to play with ryan. he's been in the states for about a year and he will be back this october. i hope we can record some materials before he leaves. angus practice also, this afternoon. they were scheduled before us.

di ko naibigay kay shirley kahapon yung mixed cd na ginawa ko sa kanya dahil may pinuntahan akong ibang commitment. nag-reply sya na "nalungkot ako pero ok lang" or something like that. parang nalungkot na rin tuloy ako dahil antagal ko na sa kanya gusto ibigay yung cd na yun eh. mga favorite songs ko yun na sa tingin ko magugustuhan nya. sana pang-umaga ulit siya next week para magkita na kami. shirley is very nice and has the cutest face. hehe.

si kuya manny his wife ate sherlyn ay may sore eyes. yung sore eyes na yun galing kay, annie, yung househelp nila. sana si elisha hindi mahawa. kagabi dito natulog si elisha sa bahay. sana huwag rin akong mahawa.

oo nga pala napanood ko yung irene kanina. kinasal na sila ni joshua. hehe. ang corny. pero pinapanood ko yun minsan dahil ang ganda nung bida. hehe. gusto ko rin si song hye gyo. hehe.
