“Sana hindi na lang pinilit pa wala naman patutunguhan kahit sabihin mo pang mahal kita” is a line from Silent Sanctuary’s “Rebound”. It was love at first time I heard the song.
Silent Sanctuary is not your typical band. Not the usual rock band that we’ve seeing and hearing. How do I know this band? I think I was listening to NU 107 when “Rebound” was playing. I thought it was from Sugarfree so I stick on that station. I think they didn’t mention who’s that band or artist so my mindset is still the same. I still thought it was Ebe who was singing. But when I got the chance to listen stairway to seven, the daily countdown of NU 107 I heard that again and the dj said that it was from Silent Sanctuary.
Then the next thing I know is my classmates loved that song as much as I do. Then sa mga stations na lagi kong pinakikinggan at inaabangan ko nag ge-guest sila like “Other People’s Music”, “First Set” and “Wazzup Wazzup”. So I got to know them better. I also learned that some of them came graduated from an all girl school… and that’s also my school!!
Yesterday I saw the video for “Rebound”. My mother was with me so narinig din niya. After hearing that song, she already hums that song. Dumidikit kasi sa utak yung melody pati na din yung lyrics.
I like their music. Like what I’ve said, they are different from other bands. They are in my list na bands or artist that I wanted to listen to give a break from the usual rock sounds. Some of them are Up Dharma Down, M.Y.M.P., Barbie Almalbis and other bands and artist para ma relax naman ako. Nagsasawa din naman yung tenga ko sa mga musikang ganun.
I wanted to buy their album “Fushiang Pag-ibig” but they still don’t have that album in record bars as of this writing. But any time next week magkakaroon na. I think I will buy next week. Can’t wait!!
Sa ngayon they are out with another single “Ikaw Lamang”. So let’s support them.

Switching on the spotlight
As I look on my blog I realize that I always mentioning Ely Buendia. Yesterday, I bought the Isang Ugat, Isang Dugo by Rivermaya. Rivermaya is another favorite band of mine. I love Rico Blanco as much how I love Ely. Well, di lang ata halata if we base it in my blog. I think Eraserheads and Rivermaya have the same impact in my life. So it’s time to switch the spotlight to Rico Blanco and Rivermaya.
The story behind my likeness to Rivermaya is the same on how I liked Eraserheads. Kasabay ko lang sila pinanganak. Mga 90’s. So parang na left behind din ako saka nila. Kaya if I saw yung mga anthologies or greatest hits nila I will buy it right away.
Rivermaya is the “Banda Ng Bayan” because of their nationalistic and patriotic songs such as “Awit ng Kabataan”, “Liwanag Sa Dilim”, and “Isang Bandila”.
Why I love Rico Blanco?
1) Handsome- Yes he is. But I saw his old pictures, his looks are weird he is very skinny and with colored hair. Now his taste matures so mas gwapo talaga siya ngayon.
2) Very Intelligent- I watched his Homecoming in San Beda. He mentioned that he was the youngest in his batch because he was accelerated twice. He is good in Geometry (my gosh… my hate subject) and quite have some difficulties in Physics. Because of his intelligence, he can write good and meaningful songs.
3) Talented- Very Talented. He can play guitars and keyboards. He could be a director and an actor. He had a indie movie (Nasaan Si Francis?) before. I wasn’t able to watch it but I think it’s Christopher De Leon praise his acting capabilities. I don’t need some evidence because I saw their “241” video. I was get kilig when I saw his scenes with his leading lady. I envy that girl. Sana ako na lang.
4) He could be a good politician- I think you can see it by the lyrics of his song like in “Isang Bandila”. Lumalaba yung pagiging nationalistic niya that seldom you can see in an artist. But Rico has it.

JUST DIE ANOTHER DAY…
Last Sunday, I watched the K the 1,000,000 videoke challenge because I saw Ely on the commercial for that show. He is a part of their anniversary. Every time that the camera was placed to him, I get “kilig”. Lalo na when he sang some lines of “Be My Lady”. I think I will have a heart attack. He won at that round. The judge needs to choose the best among the rest. Even though some that where there were real singers, he still won on that round. I want to quote from Allan K, “Wala ka paring kupas Ely Buendia”. Well, he will never ever fade away.
The next day while watching the news, I was astonished when I heard that Ely rushed to the hospital after a gig because of heart attack. Gosh!! Just yesterday, I’m so happy and get kilig over him. Now he is on the ICU and has a 50-50 condition.
On the news, I noticed that when ever they have news about Ely, his rock and eraserheads status was always mentioned. It’s like “Ely Buendia, the former vocalist of the 90’s rock band eraserheads…” . Every one was shocked of what happened because of his 36 age and having a heart attack. But I know Ely will keep fighting till the end. Wala paring kupas si Ely Buendia.
I’m imagining, what if he died, what would happen to us, to the music industry, to his band, to Diane, to Eon, to me? Everything would change, definitely. Thousands and thousands or even million of people will mourn. It will look like Rico Yan Part 2. Ok!! I will stop thinking about those things because I know Ely will live longer. So Ely, I will always keep on reminding you everyday to just die on another day.

Heart attack makes the people come together…
Heart attack makes the people come together…
I heard lots of music personalities, some celebrities, radio jocks, friends, reporters, fans and other people who where there to support Ely buendia. They show some love, concerns and prayers to him. It is quite a long list. Buddy Zabala one of the ex e-head member is also on the list along side Marcus Adoro. Because of mentioning their names the E-heads reunion issue is hot again. They say that they could start a new beginning. For me, its better when things happened unexpectedly. Yung tipong pag gising mo, turn on the radio or TV and will hear on the news that the reunion will happened. Siguro masyado din silang na pre-pressure kaya hindi matuloy tuloy ang reunion. I think there is a right time kung kailan mangyayari ang mga bagay bagay. Let us just keep our fingers cross and keep on praying earnestly on that reunion and siyempre on Ely’s health. The supporter that prays forever will make the band together.
Some things about radio jocks
Listening to radio is one of my hobbies or as what some people describe “pampalipas oras”. For me, djs or radio jocks plays a vital role to which station I would listen. We, the listeners have the power in our hands to change the station if we wanted to do. To stop us for doing that, djs should be spontaneous, extrovert, humorous and avoids dead air and of course good music. That’s what I can see from Magic 89.9’s Mo Twister. But this dj also has additional qualities such as frank, creative, controversial and talkative. A character that is hard to find in a guy.
I like 97.1’s Sophie and Nu 107’s Trish. I like their voices and how they speak. And I already saw Trish on the Nu Rock Awards. I’m quite shock to see her face. At first I can’t believe that she is that girl, but when she started to talk I recognize her voice. And that settles me that she is really dj Trish. I already heard people saying that once you are a dj, chances are you are witty, outgoing, good voice etc. but you don’t have those good looks. I know you all know dj Mo Twister, Rico Robles. By listing their names you would know what I mean. But of course there’s still good-looking and pretty djs. For me the most gorgeous female dj is Andy 9 while the most handsome I think Borgy Manotoc will be on 99.5 Rt. If that’s the case he would be in my list.
Some djs uses weird, funny, cute, unique radio names such us Mojojo, Andy 9, Mo Twister (sounds like a food in KFC), John Hendrix, Hot Lips Lisa, Sophie and many more. But there’s some baduy, jologs, yuck names like Toni Tubero, Toni Macaroni, Sexy Sugar, Edwin Latigo, and many more. I mean MORE. I forgot some of their names but I know they are from Star FM, Love Radio, I FM, Energy Fm and Yes FM. These radio stations are for “masa”.
The worst dj for me is from Love Radio. I don’t know their names and why should I know, when I hear their voices I wanted to shot my radio with a gun. It’s a girl and boy tandem and if I’m not mistaken they also a voice over of 1 of the show in ABC 5. They use gay words such as itich, chuva chenis, eklabu and many more. It really pisses me. and when they laugh… ugh…just writing about them sumasama pakiramdam ko. I don’t understand why people like them or even the station. They are no. 1 according to them. Well maybe because they are pang “masa”.
Some djs were trying hard to speak in English. And of course that djs are from still from “pang masa” stations.
These are the TOP 3 of my Favorite Radio Station
1. Campus Radio- well as the stations name campus radio they are student friendly station. They also have this campus djs. But they choose songs to place on their play list. Because sometimes they don’t play songs that I like.
2. Nu 107- They play anything and everything if rock is concern. They also play songs from independent artist. That some radio stations don’t want to play their songs. They live the more music less talk saying. They have this 40 minutes rock-athon.
3. 99.5 Rt- I love them when they are still not reformatting. But now many they still in the process of changing everything so at this point I don’t like them much. But still I’ll them in 3rd place. This is the station where I talked with Imago and Sponge Cola.
Favorite Radio Shows
1. Sunday Sessions of99.5 RT- as I said I was able to talk to my favorites such as Imago and Sponge Cola. I also learn many things about different bands and artist. Here you can see the band as you never seen before. I mean the difference on how they perform and talk to people.
2. Other People’s Music of 97.1 Campus Radio- as the shows title you will know what your favorite bands or artist listens to. John Hendrix also asks questions that are really good. These are types of question that you will know more about that artist.
3. First Set of Nu 107- there’s a difference between listening bands in the evening and morning. I mean kakagising lang nila. You will know how they are tight in playing.
4. Forbidden Questions of Magic 89.9- actually its just a segment of the radio show Good Times with Mo. I don’t like the show itself so I only place that segment. I think you all know this. This is where Dj Mo became so controversial. He asks everything from how big is your wang to the worst actress and actors.

My own Year ender countdown
It’s my own version of year ender / nu rock awards
Song of the Year- well my basis for this is it’s really a hit. The song and the video make the band more popular. It became no.1 in different various radio countdowns and music channels. It is NARDA by KAMIKAZEE. The song is catchy and very simple subject that people where able to relate with it.
Band of the Year- I think it’s between Sandwich and Kamikazee. Hmm… Let me think a few minutes…
Ok it’s SANDWICH. I don’t know if I’m correct but I think they were just an independent artist. I know that its really hard to be one. It’s quite easy to make their original music but popularity is the one that suffers being an indie artist. But if Sandwich is really an indie artist they prove me wrong.
New comer of the Year- CALLA LILLY They are a group of young, talented group that creates kick-ass songs.
Indie Sikat Award- it’s an indie artist that have all qualities to be the next big rock band.
Vocalist of the Year- Well mahirap to… need to think again. There are lots of good vocalists but I think GAB ALIPE deserves it. He doesn’t have only a good voice but he writes good songs and he has good looks. In short he has the total package. Rock na rock yung itsura niya.
Album of the Year- Well dahil konti lang naman yung album na nabili ko na this year ni release like Beautiful Machines, Transit and 5 on the Floor, Fragmented kasi the rest ay ni release last year pa. I think it’s FRAGMENTED. Astig kasi yung concept.
Jologs band Award- SHAMROCK. At least may award sila galling sa akin.
Best song released this year- I think its DULO NG DILA by PUPIL. Yung concept ng song is not common. Not the usual I’m in love-your-in-love-too kind of song.
Best unreleased song- SLEEP TALK by UP DHARMA DOWN and SA BINGIT NG ISANG PAALAM by SPONGE COLA.
Come back award- I don’t know to whom I credit this award. If to Ely Buendia or to his new band Pupil. Maybe to Ely because we all know he is coming back for the 3rd time around. Maybe to Pupil because its where Ely is and the band maybe new but the band members were still the same as The Mongols. They just subtract then add a member.
Burn out Award- To the band/ artist who is missing in action This year is not for Ms. KITCHIE NADAL
Agaw Eksena Award- it’s tie between KAMIKAZEE and IMAGO always do weird dances. But their energy, mala Gary v.
