These past few weeks, I've been practising my "death grunts". I think it has improved these past few weeks and I can get those deep guttural sounds, like some DoTA heroes make haha. Being a death metal fan, I have always wanted to play in a death metal band ala Spawn of Possession, Cannibal Corpse or even Death either as a guitar player or vocals. Ilang buwan na din ako naghahanap lagi ng "how to do death metal vocals" sa youtube, these past few weeks, dun ko medyo nakuha yung technique. It is quite addicting, even more so when you see some progress in the quality of the sound produced hehe. Natatawa nga sakin nanay ko, adik kasi yun sa Plants vs Zombies, tapos pinapagaya nya sakin yung mga linya ng zombies dun na "braaaiiinsss". Tapos yung iba ko naman kaibigan pinapabigkas nila sakin yung PI, at tuwang tuwa naman sila haha.
Wala lang, natutuwa ako sa "Braaaaiiinnsss". I find it hard to keep myself from practising even in public, i'll occasionally grunt a few growls at a low volume. I also do grunts when I'm taking a bath. They say that the acoustics of the bathroom will make your natural singing voice pop out. I hope my natural death grunt voice will pop out.
Enough of this "braaaaiiiinsss" induced ranting. Have a good day everyone... :)
Sooper nakakatamad ang klase kahapon. May klase kami nung isang araw, so that's a sunday class which means two straight days of studying accounting, the works of rizal, discrete mathematics and routing protocols. It also means two straight days of eye burning 6 hour breaks in between our rizal and accounting classes. Buti nalang pinauwi kami ng maaga ng prof namin sa cisco kanina at about 7:30pm. Ayoko na sana gumastos at dumiretso sa St. Luke's para magbabad sa harap ng aircon at sulitin ang wifi nila kaso bigla nalang may nagyaya ng dota. Andami ko pa utang na babayaran eh, kailangan magtipid. Kaso pumasok naman sa isip ko na, Sige maglalaro na ko minsan lang naman ako maglaro, tsaka antagal ko na din hindi naglalakwatsa, para makapagliwaliw ng onti.
Bago kami tumuloy papuntang b_connected sa greenbelt, dumaan muna kami sa Jolly Jeep para bumili ng paborito naming pakete ng mani at makiinom na din ng tubig kay Ate Gemma. Nitong nakaraan lagi na kong may suot na green fisherman's hat simula nung binaboy ng barbero yung gupit ko, nung nakaraang buwan. Naattach na ko dun sa sumbrero kong yon kasi ang cute. Dami nagrereact kapag suot ko yun eh, tinatawag nila akong waway, magnanakaw, at minsan fisherman. Yung hat na yun yung pabilog yung visor nya, cute nga eh. Anyway, nung nainom na ko ng tubig, bigla ako inawitan ni Ate Gemma, na hihiramin nya daw muna sumbrero ko, ibabalik nya daw sa tuesday, kaso wala naman ako ng tuesday kaya wednesday nalang. Sabi ko sakanya papahiram ko basta labhan nya, matagal ko na kasi balak labhan yun kaso tinatamad ako kaya eto na ang tamang pagkakataon upang malabhan siya. Pagkatapos namin hintayin si Choco na mag yosi sandali dumiretso na kami sa greenbelt.
Putanginang yan brad! Wala, wala man lang kaming napalanunang laro haiz! :)) Dibale ayos lang, first time naman kasi maglaro ng isa namin kalaro eh, at tsaka mas okay pa sagot ng isa naming kasama yung one hour sa renta namin orayt! hehe. Ang kulit nga nung isa ko kasama nakikipagaway na sa kakampi namin dahil di nya gusto yung "play" na ginagawa nung kakampi namin :)). Kulang nalang banatan na nya talaga eh haha. After two hours of getting our asses kicked, we decided to go home. But then, Choco suddenly said that he doesn't feel like going home yet. Sumama na din ako at medyo tinatamad pa akong umuwi, pero sabi ko kung san man kami tatambay, dapat malamig at walang gastos. We found the perfect spot at the sidewalk near the statue of ninoy, sa corner ng paseo de roxas at ayala avenue. Malamig ang hangin, at tahimik at merong upuan, yung kung anu man ang tawag nila duon sa parang steps dun sa sidewalk hehe. Pagkaupo ko naghubad ako partially, exposing my back to the wind, napakainit kasi. Ito na yung panahon kung san napakainit kahit gabi, yung tipong pagkaligo mo eh papawisan ka na agad, hassle. Then yun kwentuhan na ng kung ano ano, mula korean movies napunta sa 500 days of summer sabay napunta kay thunder jet at kay mary at ang lihim na hardin hehe. Peyborit ko yung dalawang yun eh, di ko makalimutan ang Teiko at ang Emery, pati yung lumpong si Colin na ubod ng pagkasungit hehehe. Mga 11pm namin naisipang umuwi at nagsimula na maglakad papunta sa harap ng PSE para magabang ng bus. Buti nalang me dumaan na Taguig Metro Link hehe, malakas ang aircon at napakaluwag. Pagkapasok ko ng bus, ansarap, punyemas pagkadampi ng lamig sa mukha ko naramdaman ko agad yung antok nakatulog na ko sabay ginising nalang ako ni Choco nang nasa Kamias na ko. Ang malas ko lang wala na palang jeep na dumadaan ng St. Luke's ng ganong oras, kaya napasakay nalang ako ng papuntang Proj. 2 - 3 sabay alkad mula Tomas Morato papuntang E. Rodriguez, feel the burn hehehe. Ayan sakay jeep, and now I'm here, writing this blog at nagbababad sa harap ng aircon.
I might as well take this chance to chill and relax because we can feel hell week already. Marami na pinapagawa yung prof namin sa accounting, pati sa rizal at may case study pa sa cisco. At meron pa palang thesis na mas mainam kung maidedefend na namin this term. Bukas, the friends of my cousin will visit, baka may shot nang kasama hehehe *hoping*. Then wednesday is officially the start of hell week then thursday is a relaxation day dahil may swimming kami ng friends ng cousin ko sa bulacan, oraaayt hehehe. Tapos tuloy na ulit hell week sa friday. Sana pumasa lahat this term! :))
"Hi, single people. I'm in the same boat as you. But the boat is not a sinking ship! It's a 50-foot yacht with cocktails and life preservers." - Erin Meanley
Just found out this article about lessons that every single person should learn. I tried to read it, super nakarelate ako eh, because yours truly is 21 years old and still nothing or rather, no one :)).
Learn to live with uncertainty. - Well, girls can help you learn to live with UNCERTAINTY.
Be patient. - Pfft. 21 years? I am PATIENCE! :))
Practice a positive attitude. - I want to think that we'll become friends again someday :) No lovey dovey shit, just good friends.
Realize that life is seriously beautiful. - Life IS beautiful when you have a family and friends whom you can laugh with and share some "emo" shit and also the occasional drinking sessions. :))
Stay in the present. - Yeah yeah, di ako bitter, nakamove on na me! :))
Laugh at yourself. - I can't help but laugh whenever I recall one of many things I did to get her attention or some other shit . Very embarassing :))
The single life certainly is a 50 foot yacht complete with hooker parties este cocktail parties and life preservers. :)
This people, is what you call the desperate self psyching of moi. :))
Ano ba yan, kapag umaga bading na kumakanta, sa hapon naman merong nagpapatugtog ng jologs rap music. Di naman jologs si Gloc 9 sa tingin ko, pero naiirita ako at yung iba pinapatugtog nila may lyrics na, "bobong rapper", basta may inaaway sila na rapper, parang tanga lang eh. Peace. Love. Music nga diba? hehehe. Sauce, nakipagaway pa sa tugtog nya eh no. Ano pa ba ang darating na distraction dito sa tambayan? >:(
Gawain ng mga bata eh makipagaway through music. I'm done with the "rakista vs. hip-hop" shit, thank God naliwanagan ako agad sa mga bagay bagay. I'd rather be a poser by their standards than become like them idiotically fighting over preference in music. Don't take me as someone who hates that kind of music, I also listen to some RnB occasionally hehehe.
Hay... di ako makapagbasa ng libro, andami nilang backup hahaha, andito na din yung babaeng feel na feel nya ang kanyang "intricate" beauty, at ang kanyang kaibigang napakaingay eh akala mo hindi babae. Pero in fairness maganda naman talaga si "intricate" beauty, pero nakakainis lang yung masyado niyang feel na feel ang kanyang kagandahan, sabi nya "it's such a curse!", "i hate my ancestors for giving me such intricate beauty!"
Anyway, enough with the rants, I'll go back to my book now. Good Afternoon everyone!
Sana matapos na itong term na to. Para di na ko nagdudusa sa 6 hours break. Okay lang sana yung 6 hours break ko kaso pag me mga kasama kang malaking bading na kanta ng kanta na akala nya maganda boses nya, maririndi ka din. Mapipilitan kang ubusin ang battery ng laptop mo sa kakapatugtog para lang malunod ang boses ng bading na yon. Maski pag nagsasalita siya naiirita ako, tinitiis nalang. Buti pa ko nakakapagtimpi eh yung isa kong kasama sa 6 hours break ko eh pikunin pa naman, laging pinaparinggan yung bading.
Bat ba kasi dito tumatabay yang mga yan eh... >:( Ayan kumakanta nanaman siya ng "Your Love" punyeta, buti sana kung iba iba pang kanta eh pampalubag loob na eh kaso paulit ulit na "Your Love"! Punyemas. Naoover run na kami dito ng mga lower batch, dahil yung iba naming kasama mga tanghali pa yung pasok nila tsaka yung iba naman graduate na. Buti sana kung may kasama silang chicks pag tumatambay hahaha, eh yung isang babaeng kasama nila pagkakamalan mong elementary kung sa labas ng mapua mo siya makikita. At yung isang babae nila, este, binabae, ayon kanta ng kanta punyetaaa! Haha nakakainis sobra!
Alam mo yung gusto mong sumabat kaso naiisip mong wag nalang para walang gulo. Minsan naiinis ako tinuturo ko talaga sila kay manong guard pag ang ingay na ng nyetang bading na yon eh. Buti nalang medyo kadikit ko yung mga guard dito, at sinusuway naman nila agad. Wala naman akong galit sa mga bading, kaso pag ganyan na yung bading eh nakakairita talaga. Feel na feel pa talaga nya kanta nya eh sintunado naman. Araw araw mong maririnig yon, me kasama pang guitar, sosi diba? Gusto ko hampasin sa bading yung gitara nya eh, mas maigi nga kung electric guitar eh para solido yung tama >:)).
Mas nakakairita pa na kung kailan nagaaral kami twing 6 hours break namin eh dun nagiingay yung bading pati yung kanyang alipores. Aaaagggh! Minsan lang ako mafrustrate sa isang bagay, pero tangina naman itong bading na to, mapapamura ka talaga. Talagang pipigilan mo yung sarili mo na murahin siya, gusto kong sabihin, "Hoooooy Puuuuutaaaangiiiiinaaa kaaaaa! Tumahimik kang putanginamo ka!" Tipong sasabihin mo yan yung nanggigigil ka at pumuputok na yung litid mo sa leeg para mas masindak siya hahaha.
Wag kang mainis sa aking pagmumura, pag ikaw nasa kalagayan ko, baka mas malala pa yung sabihin mo hahaha. Orayt, tapos na ko sa paglalabas ng galit... :))
For the average college student, having to go to school on a sunday is heresy, it is blasphemous. But yes, our school has implemented sunday classes 6 months ago. We have Ondoy and the AH1N1 flu virus to thank for that. We had ten days of "happiness" because of the AH1N1 and two weeks of "vacation" due to Ondoy. Mapua broke even with us when they implemented this bullshit. Yan ang hirap pag quarterm, konting aberya lang sa schedule, andami nang nauusog sa calendar nila. I still go to sunday class, I had no big problems with it initially. The only problems I had to deal with was the very tiresome schedule. My schedule is 7:30 am to 9:00 pm. Having this kind of schedule for three days straight is very taxing. But I still can cope, just a minor problem actually.
Ang malaking problema lang sa klase na yan pag may mga magagandang lakad ang family or friends, di ka makakapunta. Isipin mo buong araw nasa skul ka tapos ang kaisa isang araw mo na pwede ka magpahinga at magsaya ay mapupunta lang sa pagaaral. May Gad! Just like this sunday, my cousins invited me to go swimming with them at Alabang this coming sunday. Sheeet! Minsan lang kami mag swimming, at kasama pa ang friends ng cousin ko, at tsaka libre pa ang lahat, yung pinsan kong may trabaho ang bahala. Sagot lang namin ang pamasahe papuntang Alabang at yung entrance sa swimming pool. Solb na, pag manlibre pa naman yung pinsan kong yon, bonggang bongga. Di ko talaga ito mapapalampas! Masarap ang pagkain at syempre, may inuman session nanaman yan! I'm hoping na meron hehe, medyo matagal na din ako di nakakasama sa inuman sessions hehe, medyo natitigang na ko. Napuna nga ng pinsan ko na lagi ko nalang sinasabi na "Masarap mag inuman dito ah." Sabi nya sign daw ng natitigang na hahaha. Anyway, I plan to go to Alabang with my cousins and then go to school afterwards. BTW, our professor in cisco "strategically" placed a lab exam to be done on sunday, kaya nakakainis! Di ako makapagabsent! Thankfully, my cisco schedule is from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. My cousin said we'll be done swimming at around 4:00pm leaving me enough time to go to school and go back to Alabang and then drinking session na! Yeheeeeey! Di na ko papasok sa walang kwentang rizal, na wala na kaming ginawa kundi ang manood ng mga docu tungkol sa buhay ng isang batang emo. I'm worried about my discrete math class a few minutes ago but just now my friend said that my professor won't be around on sunday. YEEEESSSSH!!! Accounting nalang yung poproblemahin ko dahil di ko siya papasukan, review review nalang ang gagawin ko, magaganda naman ang scores ko sa quiz nung hayuf na prof na yon eh hehehe.
Until next term pa pala ang sunday classes, kaya hanggang june meron kaming sunday classes hay. Konting tiis tiis nalang at gagradweyt ka na, konti nalang!
Tapusin ko na tong post na ito, nagugutom na ko, time to eat at Jolly Jeep! Good day people! :)
I had a happy valentines day yesterday. No, I didn't have a date, no flowers even love letters. *as if naman! haha* I didn't feel the hype which usually accompanies that dreaded day. I remember the weather was great that day. It was sunny but not too hot, I knew that it would be a great day ahead with nothing to do but laze around and relax all day long.
I came home from the hospital on Feb. 14 at around 8 am. I had no sleep when I was at the hospital. I had to constantly check on my lolo because he always removes the feeding tube whenever no one is looking. I thought to myself "Di na ko matutulog, magbabasa nalang ako ng libro." It's better to have no sleep than to force yourself to wake up every hour or so and experience throbbing headaches. After 24 hours of watching over my lolo I decided I'll go home and have some breakfast. There wasn't a decent meal inside the hospital. I also checked the carinderias around the vicinity, but they were all closed. After saying my good byes to lolo I went home.
Upon arriving, I remembered a photoshop thingy that is due on monday. I had to design an ID layout for an upcoming event that my org will handle. After an hour of doodling around with photoshop and some stock photos my cousin from next door come inside our house. He was asking me if I would like to watch a movie with him. The movie was The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which isn't exactly a valentine movie, but I didn't care and had nothing to do at the time so I said I'd come to his house after I take a bath. I haven't bathed in 24 hours mind you, my lolo was in the ward section of the hospital. It's bathroom only consists of a urinal, a toilet and a sink, so you had to go home if you wanted a shower. I took a bath after a while and then went to my cousin's house.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose for me was a great film. Great story and great acting by the actress who portrayed Emily Rose. I think the film wouldn't be the same if it were the same actress. The actress just has this creepy feel to her face hahaha. The scene were in the priest asked the demons name really wowed me. I was amazed when the demon gave its name, names to be exact hehe. Imagine, being possessed by three lesser demons and then the big guns, namely, Legion, Belial and Lucifer himself! It was a great movie, but I was a bit late on that part hahaha.
Midway into the movie, I decided I would text Ate Pam and wish her a happy valentines. After a few minutes she replied asking if it was me who was texting. I replied yes and said jokingly "sana si ***** nalang no?". She did not reply, but a few minutes later my phone was ringing, an anonymous number. I answered it, expecting someone from the hospital. I did not know who was on the other end and asked who she was. The woman on the other end said, "Si Tita Tess to!". I really was surprised with the sudden call. Tita Tess is the mommy of Ate Pam, and also the mommy of the person I mentiond in my last blog post. Tita Tess greeted me happy valentines and exchanged a few questions of how they were, I also greeted her whole family a happy valentines. Then Tita Tess said Bea would like to talk with me. Bea and I greeted each other a happy valentines and she mentioned that they were at megamall, she asked if I was at our house, I said yes, and mentioned that I was having a "date" with my cousin and watching the Exorcism of Emily Rose. Bea said that they were missing me and aids hehe. We talked very briefly about our friend Aids, who recently had a job according to Bea. Bea then said she would text me later and would talk to me online, we proceeded to exchange greetings again and then said goodbye to each other. I was smiling the whole 2.5 minutes.
After the call, my cousin asked who it was and I told her it was the mommy of ******. My cousin was teasing me while I was laughing. He was asking me, "kayo na ba ni ******?" I was laughing because that call took me by surprise. I texted Ate Pam after a while saying that her mommy was very sweet and that it made my day. I said thanks and said that they take care on their way home.
That really took me by the balls and then threw it around, that call really made my day, no doubt about it. Every time without fail, I always expect no one will greet me on that day, wala naman ako gerlpren eh hehe. When Tita and Bea called, it cemented my view of their family as very kind and sweet to others. Ate Pam will certainly have some comments about my statement hahaha! My first valentines day that I can tell is really happy! :)
I'm currently here in the hospital, lying in a hospital bed with my laptop in front of me. I'm surrounded with dextrose thingys and oxygen tanks. But no, I'm not sick and it is not me that is hooked up to thos dextrose thingys and oxygen tanks. It is my Lolo who is hooked up to those gadgets. He had a stroke on tuesday while feeding his fighting cock, luckily my father was with him that moment to help him. So here I am blogging away inside the hospital.
Last January, my Uncle had died of a heart attack and my batchmate, only 21 years old, died of pneumonia last February 5. These deaths and sudden illnesses have made me think about my health seriously, minsan naiisip ko baka di na ko magising kinabukasan. It made me realize that life is very very short. Although this is an overstated, corny phrase for my tastes, it really is true. My uncle was the first one to die in our quite small family. Sanay kami na kami ang dumadalaw sa patay pero ngayon kami na ang dinalaw para makiramay. Every christmas pa naman kumpleto kami sa bahay ng lola namin to celebrate the season at pati na din sa new year. Si uncle pa yung nagaayos ng lights at lagi mo makikitang may hawak na beer pag nagrerelax na kasama ang uncle kong belgian. Every christmas at new year yan, pero ngayon this year minus one na kami, kaya ayon kalungkot hehe.
Yung kabatch ko naman pneumonia, na ICU siya sabay nung feb. 5 wala na siya. Sudden nga eh, tsaka sayang talaga kasi mag mamarch na siya sa feb 27 kaya nakakapanghinayang yung pangyayari. Minsan kinakabahan na ko pag may mga kirot kirot na ko sa mga katawan, nitong nakaraan lang madalas ako sa St. Luke's *One of the world's best kuno* para magpatingin, masakit kasi yung bandang likod ko eh. Kaya ayon, andaming tests buti nalang may maxi care ako. Mas madalas na din ako maglakad ngayon, imbis na mag tricycle ako ng 15 pesos nakamura pa ko. Fitness first, nagbubuhat, konti kain, ayon kung ano ano hahaha. Mahirap nang madedo nalang bigla, wala pa kong gerlpren for gadseyks tapos mamamatay na ko??!! Hehehe
Mapunta tayo sa usapang sakit sa puso, malapit na malapit na malapit na ang malagkit at mabaho at humahalimuyak na araw ng mga puso. I can feel the hype already, there are many rose vendors outside the hospital actually, maski hospital di pinatawad hehe. Anybody have plans for Feb. 14? Nope, not me. Not my barkada whose majority of members is SINGLE. Not me. But, after 21 years of having no significant other, three and a half years of being subjected to the greatest silent treatment by someone I really care about, countless drunken nights, endless videoke sessions screaming air supply and reo speedwagon songs at the top of our lungs, I still hope that there will come a time when things will just fall in place with that person and everything will be alright. I'm not hoping that she'll fall in love with me, I'm only hoping that we'll be friends again, that we'll be able to talk about dota, online games and korean stuff just like we did 3 years ago. I know that I did some bad stuff, but this sudden silent treatment from her made me really sad, di ko nga alam kung bat biglang ganon eh. Pero I think I'll just let it blow over, baka pwede pa ulit ako pansinin nyan in the future hahaha. Kaya gusto ko bago ako mamatay maging good friends ulit kami, dahil kung hindi, bibisitahin ko siya pag namatay ako hahaha. No I'm not bitter, just sad. But I do enjoy being called bitter because of the reactions it elicits from people around me. :))
Hay tinatamad na ko mag type... I'll end this post with a reminder. Magingat sa sunday! Nanonood si Lord, baka maisipan nya na buuin yan. :) Good day everyone!
I just left the charger of my laptop today. I also forgot that we were supposed to go to our thesis mate's house and we are SUPPOSED to do what is left to do in our thesis documentation. Malas no? Kaya ayon, nakalimutan ko na magdala ng damit na pampalit dahil sa tingin ko uumagahin kami para lang diyan sa lintik na thesis.
Kahit na may 6 hour break ako starting at 9:00 am, eh sobrang layo naman ng bahay namin para umuwi ako at kumuha ng damit at yung laptop charger ko. At isa pa, sobrang mahal ng pamasahe eh, nadoblehan na nga ako pamasahe kanina dahil nahuli yung bus na sinasakyan ko kanina sa may kamuning. 35 pesos singil nila mula samin papuntang estrella, eh ayun nahuli nga, kaya napilitan ako sumakay nalang ng ibang bus dahil 7:00am na nun at 7:30 class ko at may quiz pa kami hehe.
I just remembered an article that I read these past few weeks in the news paper. The article is about these couriers who use bicycles instead of the usual gas powered vehicles. They say they deliver fast and considering the traffic around the metro, sa tingin ko mabibilis nga naman itong bike boys na to. They also aim to help the environment by helping reduce emissions through the use of bicycles instead of your usual gas powered vehicles. The article said that they get all kinds of unusual requests, kadalasan mga requests katulad ng sakin, mga nakalimutang gamit hehehe. Ayan, kakatext lang sakin ng Pedala para tanungin kung saan yung destination, sana di sila maintimidate sa kung san dadalhin haha imagine fairview to mapua makati, ibibisikleta mo lang hehe.
Ayan ganda diba? tsaka mura lang rates nila para sa same day delivery, ATA? hehe nasa bigat yung basis ng rates nila eh.
PEDALA TO MAKATI:
P 120 - (50 ml - 2,500 ml) P 170 - (2,510 ml - 3,500 ml) P 220 - (3,510 ml - 4,500 ml) P 270 - (4,510 ml - 5,500 ml) P 320 - (5,510 ml - 6,500 ml)
O diba pwede na? You got your stuff hassle free and you get to contribute to lessening these god damn emissions. Orayt? Orayt!
Kakatext lang ulit sakin ni kuya pedala, nagtanong kasi ako kung magkano yung babayaran ko. Natuwa ako sa text nya eh, isang tumataginting na 100 pesos lang! haha wala pa ata silang standard rates anyway, sarap diba? hehe
Anyway tatapusin ko na tong entry na ito, start na ng super break ko, good day people! :)
I went to Pointbee Recording Studios yesterday to have some of our songs remixed and adjustments be made if needed. I was supposed to go there with our other guitarist Jim and our vocalist Gil. Eymard, our other guitarist told me he cannot come so he gave me the task of contacting Jim and Gil to talk about where we will meet and at what time. The same evening before the day we were scheduled to go to the studio, Eymard gave me the task of contacting them, I lost my cellphone! haha ang malas naman eh no? So at 10:00am the next day, I went to the computer shop in hopes of finding them online in either YM or Facebook. Ang malas ko ulit at hindi sila online ni isa man lang sakanila haha. So nagabang abang ako ng onti at baka mag milagro at magonline sila at ginamit ang oras para hagilapin ang mga numero nila. Nagtitingin ako sa list ng friends ko sa YM at sakto nakita ko online yung drummer namin at sabi ko na pakitext sila kung san magkikita at anong oras. At around 11:30am I got desperate and I used my smart bro, hoping that it has some load left in it, to text my bandmates. Iniisip ko kasi dapat mga 12:30 kita kita na kami at shempre may onting hintayan pa yan so mga 1:00 na kami makakaalis non. 2:00 kasi yung nakaschedule na slot namin at sayang oras dahil madami kliyente yung pointbee eh. Buti nagtext yung si Jim sa drummer namin na dun nalang kami magkikita kaya ayon umuwi muna ako at kumain para makatipid at naligo ulit, dahil pakiramdam ko sa 1.5 hours kong nasa computer shop eh, malagkit na ko at amoy araw na ko katulad ng mga katabi kong studyanteng diretso sa shop after class nila hehehe. Pagkatapos nun diretso na ko sa may Sikatuna Village sa may Kamias.
Pagdating ko dun sa studio, andun na si Aaron nagaabang. Sabay tanong kung ano agenda namin para sa araw na yon. Sabi ko lang papaayos lang ng mga kanta at kung kailangan ng konting adjustments, papaadjust ko na. So ayon, diretso agad sa trabaho wala nang patumpik tumpik pa hehe. First song went well, Aaron worked on the song for about 1 hour and for my ears, the song really had a big improvement in terms of overall sound. I had the kick drums, toms, cymbals sound and volume adjusted. I also had the guitar's sound adjusted to be more aggressive sounding, pero sabi ni Aaron, medyo mahirap ayusin dahil nasa tipa na daw gitarista. Pinaayos ko na din yung tunog ng bass ko, dahil sa simula palang ng pagrerecord namin ay matagal ko na gusto papalitan ang sound nun hehe. Second song also went well, natutuwa ako sa iginanda ng mga kanta namin hehe pakiramdam ko kasi parang so-so lang yung mixing ng previous versions ng kanta namin at alam ko na may igaganda pa talaga ito pag sinipag lang kaming pumunta ng studio para magbigay ng input para sa mixing at mastering. Actually, we started recording at september last year tapos nung mga bandang October medyo naputol na pagpunta namin dun dahil ewan ko ba busy daw sila eh wala naman sila pasok at tambay lang sa bahay hehe. Ako nalang nagaaral sakanila eh. Kaya nitong january nalang namin naasikaso ito. Minsan din kapag nagaayos ng mixing eh wala masyado nagbibigay ng input, kaya ayon mejo so-so ung tunog. Nung araw pala pumunta ako hindi din natuloy si Jim, kaya ako lang magisa dun. Mas okay para sakin yon para kung ano gusto ko ipaayos sa kanta eh magagawa ko talaga hahaha >:). Minsan kasi conflicting iyong mga interests namin pagdating sa tunog na gusto namin hehe pero tinake into consideration ko naman ung gusto nila. Yung drummer namin may pinapaayos sa tunog nya that day, yung sa dalawang gistarista wala eh, parang satisfied na sila sa tunog ng guitars nila. Well, ako hinde haha, gusto ko kasi maayos yung tunog talaga para pag pinamigay ay maayos talaga yung tunog hindi yung pipitsugin hehe. Like I said a few sentences back, I had their guitar sound more aggressive, di kasi gaano rinig yung mga *chug-chug* eh hahaha. Halos 5 na din nung natapos yung pagaayos ng mga kanta at tsaka sinabi ni Aaron na ituloy nalang sa thursday. Bale 2 songs lang yung naayos out of 3 songs na may mixing na. 5 lahat ng songs at 2 pa don ang hindi bayad hahaha.
I'm really looking forward that on thursday, our songs will improve much more. Excited na din ako makuha yung 2 huling kanta na di pa bayad, dahil sawang sawa na kami sa tatlong kanta na nasamin hahaha. Magbabayad na kami tomorrow, may kulang pa ako na 1,300 at si Jim din ay may kulang na 1,300. Nakakahiya nga kay Aaron di pa kumpleto, pero mabait naman si Aaron yun yung okay sa Pointbee eh accomodating si Aaron, siya din kasi mayari ng studio. Swerte nga namin dun sa pointbee dahil nasama yung isang kanta namin sa compilation CD nila. Maganda din yung promotions nila para sa event nun eh, may radio ad sila para sa event na yun eh, nacirculate sa RJ Underground. Para sa isang bandang hindi kilala, malaking tulong na yon hahaha.
Warning: Promotions Ahead!
