thank you drew… para na rin kitang kapatid… salamat sa pagiging isang mabuting kaibigan sa kapatid ko… and thank you for…. well… just being drew… you made so many hearts smile… and you still do… we will never forget you man… but we sure miss you so much…

til we meet again dude… see you

I’m pretty excited about that.  They say the prog rock scene is alive and well in Baguio… the bands there are awesome daw… so i’m sure it will be one uber night! 

We will definitely go back there after the 26th… we’ll bring other prog rock acts from manila… Fuseboxx, DC Aftershock, Salindiwa, etc… 

…if all goes well, this could be the start of the prog rock movement. 

…wouldn’t that be super?

I have tonsillitis…

…shit pickle soup!

Eternal Now together with Fuseboxx, The Kagaws, Lucille, Squeezers and Kala at The Mall of Asia, May 19…  see you there… it will be awesome for sure!  for the details… click on the poster below…

Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

…it’s in my head right now!  so had to type it down (The Beatles rule!)

…but it’s a bit related to my post. 

had a gig last saturday at Club Streakers… a newly opened bar along alabang zapote road in Las Piñas City.  It’s co-owned by two good friends; RV and Keyo.  cool place… and the beer is cheap so YYIIIIPPPEEEEEE!!!! :-D 

gigs are always fun. but it’s 10 million times more fun when friends drop by… 

the gig last saturday was fun X 10,000,000… stuffers Mark and Dog came… Dr. Paolo "tafuts" Amante was there… my bro Topher and Dog’s bro Drew came too… di nakapunta si Pippo and si Vice pero oks lang, next time na lang…  we we’re quite suspicious na umiiwas lang si Vice sa libre… weheheheh (oo nga pala Happy birthday Vice!)  …and of course my baby was there. 

…these guys made the gig uber fun!

…so now

the rest: stealing my bass
my bro, the photographer for the night, wants in on the action too…

dog: see you next time folks!!!!

…we then went to Mc Donalds to cap the night with double cheeseburgers, big macs, quarter pounders, mc chickens, and a ton of fries!

awesome night indeed!

ok… so i’ve been busy with gigs… and all of them were a blast… it’s always good to cap your week with an awesome gig.  parang energized ka pag start ng bagong week. you start the new week with a silly smile on your face… like the smile i have right now… how many times did i say "week"?

Trina and I did the photo shoot for Eternal Now yesterday. We need new photos of the band for the profile and stuff…. so i volunteered. So nag team-up kami ni Trina since mahirap naman kunan na ako lang dahil kasama ako sa litrato. ehehehehe… tinuro ko lang sa kaniya kung ano gusto ko mangyari and she executed…. i’m so proud of her…. she did a super job… 

oh and in case you’re wondering kung saan yung location namin…  sa bahay lang ni trina yan… there’s this part where their old house used to be… it’s so photogenic… ilang beses ko na ring ginamit na location yun para sa mga shoots ko.

ok there…

we have a gig coming up this saturday (May 5) sa south ulit… so i expect all my tropa to be there… ahem ahem!  it will be @ Club Streakers, along alabang-zapote road, Las Piñas City…

oh and there’s Spidey 3…. pretty pysched about that too… well
psyched about the fight scenes and CG.  ehehehe my buddies (stuffers
Vice and Mark) have done a review of the movie i believe… do drop by JustStuff redux for the review…

anywho… til next!
