DUI
DUI is one of my favourite Sisig songs. I love to play that song, be it the slow version or the fast one. It’s been a while since we played that song. Nathan does a lot of guitar scream on that. The guitar solo is fabulous. DUI fast version (featured in MTV) : DUI slow [...]
7200.10!
More new gears! Ron and I went shopping in Gilmore. I got a Seagate 320gig 7200.10 SATAII! More space for movie downloads, games, and pictures. Both of my 80gig hard drives are full. Full of crap, hidden porn, mom’s ancient word documents and other junk people stuff in there. Also bought the same drive for [...]
Menaya
If everything goes well, today will be my last gig with Menaya. I’ve hand-picked my replacement from several bassists that I know and I hope this one will turn out perfectly. My deal was 1 month of session with them, and it was busiest month I’ve ever had in my entire music career (if I [...]
Canon IXUS 850IS / IXY 900IS
I just bought a brand new digital camera. It’s the new Canon IXUS 850IS. I fell in love with this camera when I was reading up on new Canon digicams. Pros: Wide angle lens, Image stabilizer, ISO 1600, Digic III Cons: Limited manual mode (shutter priority/aperture priority) Nice panorama view. Image stabilizer made nightshot sharp [...]
Now on Page 2 of Googling Kitchie Nadal
1.5 years after posting the infamous Kitchie Nadal Sucks blog post, It’s now reached page two (2) of Googling “Kitchie Nadal” and of course top post of googling either “I Hate Kitchie Nadal” or “Kitchie Nadal Sucks”. It’s been a very long time since I last replied to an idiotic kitchie-phreak comment but people still [...]
Mamang
My grandmother (dad’s mom) died last monday. It was sudden. She was never seriously ill, not serious enough for us to anticipate anything. But she suddenly had a stroke and 3 days later she just passed away. She was a cool grandmom, very wacky and loud. I think I got my weirdness from her genes, [...]
Kakai Bar
Just got home from a gig in Kakai Bar, Malate. Its a production organized by some of the staff in Freedom Bar. Thanks guys you rock! The place looks like a run-down apartment but the equipment were awesome. I adored the Hartke A100 kickback amp which has a build in LIMITER! Coolness… However, if its [...]
Spam Protection Finally!
After being swamped with lots and lots of spam comments, I’ve finally installed a cute and user-friendly spam protection mechanism. It uses captchas. You type in the word read from the generated image for the comment to push through. It’s cute and human readable too. Hopefully no more viagra, cialis, xanax, blah blah blah.
I Feel Old
I feel old. Last night we gigged in a Flower Duet prod at Bridgeway Bar in Sta. Lucia. Outside the venue, we passed by seemingly familiar faces. People from other bands that we’ve probably gigged with and of course Marie, the prod manager. Inside were kids. As in kiddies. Maybe high school (or even grade [...]
First Trip to Mindanao
Last week Friday to Wednesday, I flew to Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao (the day after super hurricane Milenyo) and took a 2-hour bus ride to Iligan City to visit my friend and former classmate, Amabelle. Why? Nothing in particular. Just missed her and fulfilled a long overdue promise to visit her province. She was first [...]
