Revolver Anniv @ Saguijo

had fun last night. or uhm, a few hours ago?


it's my Off so Off i went, to Saguijo! yay! it rained cats and dogs but I was already in Makati by then. I stayed in McDo for an hour waiting for the rain to stop, but it didn't so... what the fuck, right? i stormed into the rain and got myself into a decent taxi cab who miraculously did not overcharge me on a two-block ride.

Anyhoo, the line up at Saguijo was great:

- Gorgoro (funny rockin' set)
- Nyctinasty ( boo Paramore! haha)
- Itchyworms
- Pedicab
- Imago
- Sandwich
- Chicosci
- Fastpitch

I was happy for three things:

1) it's my off. yey!
2) i got a new lens! prime lens, baby! i get to test it out
3) i met up with Doc Nikki

when I entered Saguijo, Gorgoro was playing, Jeng was on bass and what-the-fuck their vocalist is a puppet! they are probably the coolest band i've known so far. Hydraulics down! Hydraulics down! It was so cool. It was so funny. The music was tight! I have to watch them again soon!!!

at the time Nyctinasty played, i guess i was already outside waiting for Nikki. She came just in time for Itchyworms. And I should really go buy their 3rd album: Self-titled! Jaz I think made up a song that was so funny. Then Pedicab played, there were tons of heads and dicks in the room. It was full! It was hot! but like as Diego sings it: Dito Tayo Sa Dilim/Kapit Sa Patalim/Punyeta Ang Init Dito/ Nakakapaso! Papaparararaparapapa (something like that) haha! They didn't play my all-time-favorite song but they played FX so i guess i'm Okay with that.

Imago followed suit, but our view were blocked by giant men so we couldn't see even a shadow of Aia. They played tracks from Take 2, it was a treat.

Sandwich was as usual, full-throttle! Diego was musing about Beda winning at NCAA. and was makign fun of LaSalle and Mong happened to be in Green shirt.. he he he.. Nikki thought Diego was drunk, I told her, I don't think so. I think he wakes up everyday talking just like that! he he he i don't really know him personally, so I wouldn't know. I only laugh at his jokes at shows. it never fails to perk me up. and oh, Raimund was licking Myrene all over! he he he sweeeeeeeet.

after Sandwich, I think we head to the Food & Beverage Section? I knew it'd be a riot with ChicoSci so i'd rather eat my heart out. haha. nah.. i just caught up with with Nikki. It's been a while since we last went to a gig together .. I think that was NU107 rock awards last year. We never fail to attend that event. =D (unless stupid things happens like loosing all your money while on your way to World Trade? haha i couldn't forget that)

When i got home, the street where I live was flooded. the taxi was too scared to dip his precious taxi into the brown flood so i took off my shoes, rolled up my jeans and walked in the flood! gross, yeah, but if i'm a little tipsy, nothing is gross! he he he he

(here are the shots i took with Nikon D40 + 50mm f/1.8 - god i'm so happy with this lens!!! gotta shoot again!)

I saw my Dad @ the Emmys!

So far, my career has been good. I’ve had a lot of successful gigs here and there, I’ve gained a lot of friends through multiply,friendster,myspace and even became a Rockeoke idol finalist. But I can’t help but still feel this void in me. Don’t get me wrong, everything is great. But you see, all this time I’ve been doing these things hoping that my father will find me. But still, it hasn’t happened.

Last week, a friend of mine told me he saw my dad in the Emmy’s.. I was excited to hear the news and hurriedly went online to search for the video of my dad. Finally, I found it! It was kind of a bittersweet experience for me to watch him perform. I’m sad because I miss him a lot and because of the thought that there are thousands of miles between us, but I was happy to see that he still got it. He was able to perform with the great Josh Groban. I was proud of him.

I haven’t lost hope. I know we will eventually find each other. Maybe not now, but someday..

THANK YOU ERWIN FOR THE TIP!! :-)

Tonight, Rockeoke. Tomorrow, the WORLD!

When I heard about the one-year anniversary of the SPLENDID Rockeoke Idol, I ran all the way to Mag:net High Street last Monday.

I was hoping to see my dad because I heard there were going to be some celebrities… they just had these guys called Derek Ramsey and Illac Diaz. (Hmmm okay lang… but they’re not pink like me. Ladies love the pink. Sorry boys! Hahaha.)

I was more excited to see so many splendid people! The hosts, of course – Quark Henares (I hope he directs an MTV for me someday), Gabe Mercado, and JC “Burara” Medina; plus the bands, Oven Toaster and the Johnnies (na yung lead singer kamukha ni Pepe Smith)

Those fabulous floozies first got everyone drunk (the better to hear you with, the better to rock out, my dear) and then picked 15 contestants.

Quark gave me an A for “Champagne Supernova” (“I love your monobrow, it’s so Gallagher”), and they picked me as one of the 5 finalists!!! Even if it was Monday I decided to sing “Friday I’m In Love,” because I knew everyone would get up and dance.

Also I wanted to be able to tell my dad, “Been there, done that, won that!”
Except 2 humans beat me. Hindi naman discrimination. Wala lang akong tie at ‘di ako taga-Arneow (hehehe peace).
Pero okay lang! Asteeeeg pa rin.
Because the hosts picked me to sing with them at the end.
Wooooohoooo!
Sana may magkwento kay Dad na naka-perform na rin ako sa High Street! On the way to the big time na ako!

Everyone drank till we all sounded SPLENDID.
Happy birthday Rockeoke!
