Only 12 posts (not including this one) for this year.

In response to Nuts’ year in gear: Sold the Yamaha RBX-350. I think I saw that RBX in ebay.ph stripped off of the sticker veneer. Got a Geddy Lee jazz from Onie dela Cruz. Got an M-80 bass DI. Sold the Washburn XB-400 before the Zurich trip. Almost sold the SansAmp DI but when it didn’t go through, I figured I can’t part with it yet. Got a PX4D, which eventually went to my dad. Got a regular tuner when I figured out that was the only thing i really needed from the PX4D. Hmm.. Got one of those Levy’s leather straps. 4 inches width – too thick and too long for me! Might have to sell eventually. What a waste.

As for sisig, a whole year went by with us playing mostly the same stuff over and over. What the hell.

I still can’t do triple pops but I’ve favored string jacking on the jazz over try-hard tapping on a full 24-fret instrument. Found it more fun to produce inaudible notes and percussive sounds. Hah.

I love my job, but I still yearn for the dream of studying in a far-off non-third-world country.

2007 was both an exciting and lazy. A lot of wonderful things happened, but myself is still unmoved. Hah!

Its an Acer Aspire 4520-301G12. At Php 39,900 with 0% 12 months installment, free 2gb flash drive and HP photo printer, I think I got a really good deal! Bought it from Silicon Valley at Parksquare 1 in Makati. Prior to that, I went to Megamall but the model was out of stock in all of the stores. Even Villman didn’t have it in any of their branches (and with only 1gb flashdrive as freebie). It seems that this gemstone series is a real seller.

Thanks to dad for “lending” me his credit card. Hahaha. Thanks to Ron for seeking out this laptop and helping me get a great deal.

With the nVidia 7000m video card (shared memory), this baby can play Warcraft III at all high video settings with no problem at all.
