Moving on

Pupil is Ely Buendia’s 3rd band after the phenomenal Eraserheads and the short lived The Mongols.
In my own observation Pupil managed to set their own style and sound. I mean different from the sound of his former bands. pero kahit papaano meron paring tunog ng ex bands niya, I think hindi talaga mamaalis yun because they have same vocalist.
Actually, hindi din naging madali ito for Ely. Why? Because he changed his name from Jesus “Dizzy” Ventura. For me, at that point he wanted people to forget him as being with his former band. Pero di mo maalis yun sa tao kahit na palitan pa yung name mo. Kahit ngayon, ganun parin naman. His “eraserheads status” will never be erased.

However Ely is not only the talented one in the group. They also have the former bassist of The Teeth, the former guitarist of Yan Yuzon and Bogs Jugo of Daydream Cycle. I saw Dok’s old pictures. His hair is longer than mine. Si yan naman I really admire him because his a multitasker. He could be a director, writer, actor, guitarist, bassist, vocalist, professor or whatever. In the other hand, Bogs is also really talentedWith their debut album “Beautiful Machines” .I don’t know with the other bands but Pupil is the only one who’s all the members plus their manager sings in the album. So they are composing of T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D people.
Maybe they are not as popular as eraserheads but I think they have this chemistry and they show what’s friendship truly means

Defense

I like to defend some issues about things that people can’t understand


Why do girls go gaga with rockstars?

I got this from pinoy exchange. Ouch!! Sapul ako dun. Hindi naman ako maka reply dun kasi I don’t have any account. Anyways, why not naman to like them di ba? I think it’s the same when I ask you why people go gaga with celebrities. It’s the same. The only difference is that rockstars are rockstars and celebrities are celebrities. (do I make sense?) haha. Another is in my case I love Ely, Ali, Mong, Gab, Yael or Rico not only because of their looks but because of their music. Nagkataon na lang na gwapo talaga ang mga rockstars. When you listen to their songs at your mp3, radio or IPod, you don’t see these guys. And nasasayo nay un if you like these guys because of the music or with their looks. I know someone na ang tinitignan lang sa mga rock bands ay ang itsura kesa sa music.

Why people hates Cueshé?

At first when “Stay” became a hit nagustuhan ko sila. Then “Sorry”, “Ulan” came out. Pero I lost my interest because I get tired of their music and I think because of the environment na din. Andaming may ayaw sa kanila. Isa na ko dun dati pero I realized that wala naman silang ginagawang masama. They just play music. And I read before about their past. Yung struggles nila. I think isa sila sa mga banda na naghirap talaga to attain what they are now. Infairness kahit sobrang daming may ayaw sa kanila ang madami naman din silang supporters (I guess).

Things about Piracy

Piracy is an act of getting the musician’s music without asking permission. Ok fine. I have a couple of pirated cds. And I think you can’t blame me or any other people who buys pirated cd. If you compare the price the pirated only cost 40-50 pesos. The original naman cost 250-300 pesos (OPM albums). Sobrang laki ng diperensya. Kung longevity naman ang pag-uusapan, talagang matagal ang buhay ng original album. Pero kelan lang I found this pirated album from my kuya. It’s Paolo Santos’ album. Kailan ba siya sumikat? Mga 2003? 2004? Sobrang gasagas na yung cd tapos kung saan saan lang nakalagay. Then wala siyang casing. Yung itsura niya di mo aakalain na tutunog pa. pero I try to play sa component. Ayun gumagana pa naman. So I rip agad yung songs sa computer para ma preserve. So ayun. Even pirated cd has long life. Some musicians din naman understand people why some buy pirated. Hello, we are living in a 3rd world country. Kaya sa mga musicians kailangan talagang mag full force in doing your album kasi mahirap kumita ng pera. And kawawa naman yung bumibili ng orig kung worthless naman. Sa mga record companies babaan naman ang presyo. Hehe…

Yael Yuzon is gay

What the?!! Heard of this several times. Naaah… I don’t think so. He has a girlfriend. But of course having a girlfriend doesn’t mean na real guy ka. Pero no… guy talaga si Yael (I guess).

Lougee poses nude on new men’s and fashion L’Orient magazine

Here’s the complete information: Apparently, Lougee was rumored that she posed nude in the country's new men's and fashion L'Orient magazine. According to the source, two of her shots featured her topless (One with a male model pointing her right nipple and the other with her hands both raised as if praising). Another shot shows her pubic hair in a rock lingerie fashion. This rumor was later confirmed. The magazine though is distributed in Singapore and only limited copies are in the Philippines.

At first I believed on that certain article about her. But after 5 minutes, I told to myself, Nah… it’s not true. Lougee studied, or still studying on a catholic all girl school like me. If the school authority of her school learned about this, naku lagot siya. Kasi like Andrea del Rosario, kinakahiya siya ng school namin. Anyways, if that’s true, lougee have a beautiful face and body so ok lang. for art’s sake siguro. Haha. You know if I’m a guy, si Lougee ang crush ko. Ka level niya yung pagiging crush ko sa kaniya sina Ely at Ali. Hahaha. I tried to ask it to their manager thru mailing list, pero hindi pi-nost. Kaya nakakataka din bakit hindi pi-nost ng moderator niya. Well, I respect them. I’m just so curious.

Why there shouldn’t be a reunion?

Got this from E-heads mailing list. di ko na basa yung whole message. But anyways, why naman hindi? Well on the second thought, pwedeng wag muna because hindi pa ka establish yung friendship nilang 4. well, mukhang malapit na mabuo, lalo na’t may gig together in one event ang pupil at sandwich. Step by step muna. I understand naman them. lalo’t na I learned the real reason behind Diane. Yun nga lang I haven’t heard Raimund’s side. Pero I know that ereaserheads reunion is just out there. Waiting for the right time.

Radyong sira

“Ako’y maghihintay… maghihintay”

I’m still quite disappointed about Campus Radio became Barangay LS. Until now I’m hoping that it will return to its original format. But I’m having second thoughts because of their slogan “Forever”.

“Alam mo bang nalilito gulong gulo di nagbibiro”

That these djs still remain on that station even though the music that they’re playing is not the kind of music they wanted to hear. Siguro doble ang bayad sa kanila. Hahaha. but anyways, I think they are flexible. I mean they could be “cono" and also be jologs. Pero parang ang pangit nila pakinggan because halatang halata na they don’t like what they are doing. Lalo na si triggerman. Ay Bos Sir Amo nap ala.

Campus Radio airname Barangay LS (current) airname
John Hendrix -Johnny Baby
Triggerman- BossSirAmo
Hot Lips- Liza Churvilyn
Jimmy Jam -Atong Bomb
Braggy -Barako Jones
Joe Spinner -Boy Tisoy
Jaybee -Istrowberi
Master T- Tito Papito
Dan the Man -Mr. Dream Boy
May-Anne- Mystery Girl

“Ikaw ang maysala"

Hay naku!! Si Mike “Excuse me poh” Enriquez was the culprit why they reformatted. Actually, I understand why he wanted to be this way. I think, at the old LS, their GMA artist they have no chance to play their song. Kaya hindi masyado sumisikat yung songs nila unlike ABS-CBN artist. Pero ngayon mas gugustuhin ko pa ang 101.9 For Life. Ang corny sooobra ng LS.

“buti na lang nandyan ka... sinta... buti na lang nandyan ka... pano na ako pag wala ka?“

Buti na lang nandyan ang NU!! Kundi… naku masisira ang ulo ko… h

Q and A Part VI

What is love for you, honestly?
It is a feeling that you received from someone.

Do you love someone now?We always have someone to love.

What is faith for you?
Faith… actually it’s a part of my thesis. Faith is needed in every thing we do. For example is in believing god. We don’t see god but with a little faith in our side we know god really exist, and for me I don’t need to see him personally to know that he exist that is because of my “faith”.

For you, what is music?Music is the air that I breathe. My day will not be completed without listening to music. I’m an OPM lover. Why? I don’t know, but I think it’s because I can relate with them then foreign artist. But I also love some of them (foreign artist).


Do you love writing?
Medyo. But I don’t think writing loves me. haha. I’m not really that good in grammar but I’m trying my best. I also love writing poems. Sometimes, I’m shocked sa mga poems na nasulat ko. Parang ako ba talaga gumawa niyan?

What is it that people don’t know from you?
I’m a shy person. Parang sa lahat ng hindi ko magawa sinisisi ko ang pagiging shy ko. And I think there’s a lot more that people don’t know from me.

Dislikes?
About myself? Minsan pabago-bago talaga ako… parang now this is my decision but after 5 minutes it could change again and again…

What consumes you time mostly?Listening to music, internet, watching t.v., doing some art stuffs…

What’s your favorite song?Paiba iba… like what I’ve said magulo utak ko. Pero I think masasama sa list ang “With A Smile”, “Akap” and “You’ll be safe here”. With a smile because there’s a lot of memories na nakapaloob sa song na yan. It’s our 4th year high school theme song. Akap, because it’s so simple but it really touches my heart and “You’ll be safe here” because napaka ganda ng lyrics. Example is “when no one hear you screams I will scream with you…”


Do you have any addictions or obsession?
Arts and music. Medyo malayo sa course ko.

What qualities are you looking for a boy?
Physically he could be medyo bumbayin mala Ali Alejandro, Ritchie Paul Gutierrez or Kean of PBB. Pero I also like “tsinito” mala Ely Buendia, Mong Alcaraz… If you could see halos puro mga musicians so I also like na musically incline sila. Pag ganyan na sila kahit bad ka basta ganyan look mo pasado ka na… hehehe joke lang…

Do you regret something about your life?
Yeah… I don’t want to go on details…

What is life for you?Living a life is so hard. There are a lot of challenges to face, too many decisions to decide on, to many people to meet. Basta lahat TOO MANY… But as what Aia de Leon said on the song “Akap”, “Simple lang ang buhay kung ikaw ay matino”.

I'm going back to the start

“Kay tagal mo nang nawala babalik ka rin babalik ka rin”Dj Sophie from the late Campus Radio ay nasa NU 107 na. I think for how many months na. pero ngayon her name is Sophia. Napapansin ko na nung dumating siya sa NU, lagi nang naririnig ang Sponge cola. Lagi ko kasing naririnig yung “Tulir” pag siya yung dj. Well ayus din yon. Dati kasi madalang lang.

“Let’s go back to the start”

Yeah… I will repeat the f”@! accounting. Di ko pa nga nasasabi sa parents ko. Bakit pa diba? Basta, dapat di ko na din drop kasi yung classmate ko mas mababa pa sa akin pumasa naman. Kaya ko lang naman dinarap yung kasi natatakot lan ako magka F. pero ok na din at least I have another chance na taasan yung grade ko dun sa pun@#$$% subject na yun. Hindi lang talaga ako sanay ng ganito. Kasi laging ok naman ako sa math… hay leche!!...

“Nobody said it was easy”

Oo naman wala talagang nag sabi niyan lalo na sa accounting subject na yan.

“no one said it will be this hard”

Yun nga lang di ko alam na ganito naman kahirap.

“Baby you don’t have to worry cause there’s no need to hurry no one said there’s an easy way”

Oo nga naman. Thanks Ely for the words of encouragement. Buti nakagawa si Ely ng ganitong song. Kaya ko ito!!

“Lift your head baby don’t be scared of the things could go wrong along the way. You’ll get by with a smile now it’s time to kiss the pain goodbye”Another advice. Thanks a lot talaga Ely. Hahhaha…

Nakakaaliw, Nakakabaliw

April 20 Friday

“I’ll take one step away then find myself coming back my one and only, one and only you”
Hay… no comment…

“Happy birthday to you, you belong to the zoo with the monkey and the donkey the gorilla is you”
Birthday ng aking father. We celebrated it without my 2 other brothers kasi nasa grandfather ko sila. We went to Asia Mall, that’s how my father called the Mall of Asia. We ate somewhere. Go somewhere. And bond. Minsan lang kami nakakasama ngayon kasi kailangan may naiiwan sa bahay. Well di nga lang kami kompleto per ok na din. SAYA!!

“Nakakabaliw, Nakakaaliw!!”

Sooobra!! Kagabi weird yung napaginipan. It’s scary na nakakatawa. Kasi there’s a guy, na I think from our community. Tapos bumili siya ng paputok na parang bullet yung itsura. Katabi ko siya. Then parang sinindihan niya yung paputok kaso parang nag stick sa kamay niya di niya maalis. So lahat ng nasa paligid niya, including me tumakbo kasi sasabog. Ayun. BOOOOOM!!! Sumabog siya. Pero siyempre inexpect naming sasabog yung katawan niya. Eto yung funny part. parang sa cartoon. Sumabog siya pataas. Para bang lumipad pataas tapos naisip namin na napunta yung katawan niya sa ibang lugar. Basta funny talaga.

Stupid thoughts

“Palamig… tuyot piga na aking bibig” (tama ba yung lyrics?... hehe sensya na)

Hay ganun pa rin sooobrang init!! Ang sarap umino ng malamig. Like yung Coke Float… Sarap

“Ako si M16 at your service bay… Bratatatatatat”

Nakaka alarm yung nangyari dun sa VT. Kasi akala ko dyan nag aaral yung cousin ko. Yung school kung saan yung isang sira ulong college student ay nangbaril ng 32 peeps. Akala ko nga patay na siya eh. Yun pala buhay pa. may mga pics pa siya kanina. Ayan tuloy nakakatakot pumasok (hahaha… dahil bas a takot o tinatamad lang ako :P) ewan ko ba kung nahuli na siya or what…


“When no one hears you scream I will scream with you, you’ll be safe here”

Wala na ngang safe na lugar. Biro mo, school na yan ha…siyempre pag sinabi mong school parang safe ka. Talagang di mo malalaman kung kelan ka kukunin ng diyos.

“Pero Wala ka na wala ka na…”

Pag matagal na akong di na kaka post baka patay na ko… hehhe… I mean no one knows my password…

One Good Afternoon

“There’s got to be one good afternoon indescribable magic powers can make this come true”

Hay… a while a go I felt my stomach saying “GUTOM NA AKO”. I don’t like to go out or use my money so I made my own afternoon snack or merienda for short. If you want I can give you the ingredients and steps on how to make my “Spicy Scrambled Egg” and “Cold Coffee”. Hahha…

WARNING: it’s very spicy so don’t try kung ayaw mo ng maanghang

Egg- of course. It depends on you on how many eggs you want to eat. Sa akin 1 lang.
Salt- para salty
Siling labuyo- HAHAHA!! para spicy. I love spice and everything nice!!
Onion- kahit isa lang siguro
Oil- haller? Of course para maluto

Steps on how to make my “Spicy Scrambled Egg”:

Separate the whites from the yolk.
Briskly whisk the eggs until they produce medium stiff peaks. Basta pag nag-iba na ang itsura. Or better yet pag nahalo mo na siya ng 100 times.
Then yung sili chopped. You can put as many as you can
Pati na din yung onion. Then set aside.
Tapos isama mo na yung yolk sa white.
Transfer the egg mixture sa pan. Tapos put the spicy sili and onions sa taas ng egg mixture. Obvious naman kung maluluto na eh.
Viola!! Handa na ang “Spicy Scrambled Egg”

Naanghangan ka na noh? I think it’s better na ito muna ang gawin mo yung drinks.


To make the “Cold Coffee” you need:

Ice- kaya nga cold eh…
Coffee- kahit anong klaseng coffee
Sugar
Creamer- yung coffee mate.
Water

Step on how to make my “Cold Coffe”

Get a glass or any container na may takip. tapos para ka lang nagtitimpla ng kape.
Lagyan ng water.
Lagyan ng ice.
Tapos shake. Kung mayaman ka blender mo.
Ayan may panulak ka na. wag mo tong gagawin kung wala kang creamer kasi ang sama ng lasa pag coffee lang tapos cold water.

So ayan gumawa ako ng sarili kong recipe. Then pumuntanvg garden and enjoyed it while listening to my fave songs sa mp3. hay…. Sarap ; p

Summer na nga Love is in the Air

April 17 Tuesday

“Shet sobrang init abot singit”

It’s so so hot in here!! Parang I’m in hell already. Ano ba ito, practice? hahaha!!

“Asahan mo mula ngayon pag-ibig ko sa’yo”

Very interesting line, should I use this line to somebody else? That came from Imago’s “Sundo” and it is one of my favorite songs to date.

Well back about that line, parang I wanted to use it. haha. Why? This guy is courting me, but I really don’t know what to do or to say. I’m tuliro.

“Tuliro di malaman ang gagawin at walang sinumang makapipigil sa akin at wala ng ibang makapag babago ng aking isip sa’yo”

He is not consistent. But I like him. He is handsome, cute, music lover and so on… pero I’m afraid sa boys. I never had a boyfriend and I don’t know when would be the right time for me or maybe who will be the right guy for me.

“Dalhin mo ako sa iyong palasyo maglakad tayo sa hardin ng yong kaharian wala man akong pag-aari pangarap kong habang buhay kitang pagsisilbihan o aking prinsesa… prinsesa”

Hahaha!! I wanted to be treated like a princess. I mean if you talk about relationship. I’m the only girl in our family so para nga nila akong “prinsesa”.

“You turning me on, you turning me around you turn my whole world upside down”

Ang astig talaga nitong kantang to!! nakaka in love!!

“I just wanna be on the beach sunburn!!”

Yeah!! When I was young gusting gusto kong umitim. We usually go to beach pag pasukan. Ayun parang gusto kong ipagsigawan na nag swimming ako pero siyempre hindi na kailangan kasi maitim na ko. Hahaha!! ngayon nagsisi ako. Fair pa naman complexion ko, pero kung hindi ako nagbabad sa beach dati maputi pa sana ko mala Kris Aquino… hahaha!!

Tourist

Wind blows at my face
As sadness caress my soul
Looking for someone to hold
Searching for love in the whole world
I’ve been in different places
To search for you
But as I stop and take a rest
You’re the one who shines
From the sea of different faces

You’re the one who help me stand
When I feel no one would lend a hand
You’re the star in times when it’s dark
You’re the music I wanted to hear
With you by my side
I have no fear

“Buhay ng Kolehiyala sa Aking Eskwela”

Akin na ang make-up
Lalagyan ko ang mukha kong puno ng peklat
Akin na ang lipstick na mahal
Lalagyan ko ang labi kong makapal
Papasok sa eskwela
Kailangan mukhang mapera
At medyo ma kwela

Makikipag tsismisan
O makikipag dakdakan
Sa ibang kaklase
O maski sa iba
Sobrang grabe

Pagdating sa pagsusulit
Sisiguraduhing lagi siyang hit
Gagawin ang lahat ng paraan
Upang makamtan ang inaasam

Ganyan ang alam kong buahay ng kolehiyala
Dahil ganyan sa aking eskwela
Pero hindi naman lahat
Siguro nga di ka ya?


Actually may original version yan na mas bad. Hehehe. Pero baka mabasa ng iba so careful… hehehe…

Monra Day

April 11, 2007
So since vacation na nga I will try to post about what’s happening to me even though I think no one really cares. But medyo late na kasi sometimes I don’t have internet load. Our area doesn’t still have dsl. I mean hindi pa nila sakop yun area namin. Pldt kasi kami.
So today tv marathon. At first I watched a little bit of Myx Hitcharts. Number 1 na naman ang Calla lily with the song “Magbalik” while Sponge cola is still at the number 2 spot. Tapos I watched Detective Conan. Astig yun eh. Even my mother, maid, kuya and pinsans are so addicted to this show. Mala CSI but with an animé feel. I also watched Ambush Makeover, yung celebrity poker Tapos basta ang rami pa.
Tapos itong si “Monra” Bautista grabeh sa exposure. lagi siyang lumalabas sa MTV for his “Ramon Bautista Show”. Halos every commercial lumalabas yun. so hanep talaga sa exposure… plus add mo pa yung mga music videos na nandun siya. Halos lahat ng biggest and not so big bands nasa video siya… Astig … tapos kanina din napanood ko yung “Misfits” sa Solar Sports…ang kulit niya grabeh… isa siyang type of guy na kahit sobrang funny niya hindi siya natatawa… basta parang ganun… akala mo tatangatanga… pero matalino naman. At the end nga, he said sa isang host na si Wawi, bakit siya merong basta adidas ata or something tapos sabi ni Wawi, “I earned it, you should beg for it” so ayun nag beg nga siya. Ang sabi niya to Adidas, Oakley basta halos lahat ng brands ng shoes tapos sa huli sinali niya yung Mekeni Hotdog. Haha!! I have a new favorite celebrity and his name is Ramon Bautista.
I also watched Meet the Fockers. I like to catch up again sa mga movies. I want to watch Music and Lyrics.
Gumagawa din ako ng mga ka-art-ehan… meaning aome art stuffs. I like to paint my room, design, make jewelries basta lahat ng ka-art-ehan… it’s fun to kill the time.
Kanina din, my baby bro ay dinala sa hospital, wala lang check up lang kasi may ubo sipon. Tapos chineck yung blood baka may dengue and may skin test baka may t.b. grabeh. Pero wala naman siguro. Wala pang results eh.

Joke ng sandwich

RAIMUND: How many guitar players does it take to change a tire?
MONG: 10
RAIMUND: Bakit?
MONG: One to actually change the tire, and nine to tell him how he could have done it better.
RAIMUND: How many bass players does it take to change a tire?
MONG: How many?
RAIMUND: One, pero tuturuan sya ng gitarista.
MONG: How do you know if a drummer is knocking at your door?
RAIMUND: PAUSES. Bumibilis yung katok! Another one: How many singers does it take to change a light bulb?
MONG: Ilan?
RAIMUND: Only one. Tatayo sya and the world revolves around him. Now, what do you call a person who hangs around with the band?
MONG: What?
RAIMS: A drummer.
MIKE DIZON (drummer for Sandwich): LOOKS UP FROM HIS CELLPHONE. Huh?!
Hahahaha!!!

Swooning over something…

Waah… I’m very much addicted sa mga bands. I can do stupid things just for the sake of seeing them or hearing them.
Like buying their albums. Ang baon ko lang everyday is 120 bucks. I’m commuting pa, so sa fare ko 24 bucks na balikan, then syempre lunch pa. ang lowest na lunch ay 50 bucks, so magkano na lang natitira sa akin. Ang payat ko na nga. Niloloko ako ng parents ko na adik. Hehe. I’m not eating kasi. Or I eat kaso very minimal. Tipid talaga ako.
Nakakaasar nga when I buy an album nakalagay dun yung orig price. Mga 250 plus lang talaga. But because of that e-vat 280 na ang normal price. Actually 299 na nga ata eh. When I buy albums I consider these things:
1) this album is from my favorite band
2) minsan research muna ako kung worth it
3) tinitignan ko kong how many tracks
4) o kaya listen to it dun sa may listening area
or minsan I forget these things and never mind the price, then tanggalin ang price tag para makalimutan yung presyo. Sometimes dumadating sa point na nanghihinayang ako sa mga pinagbibili ko like I can buy pirated naman but when I’m listening to it nawawala lahat ng aking agam agam. So I understand the pressure that the artist experiencing. They must give 101% of their effort and everything dahil mahirap talaga ang buhay ngayon. Kaya sa mga bands na astig at orig ang tunog, MABUHAY kayo!!! Naks…

Summer Songs…

Mga songs na pang summer…

1) Summer Song by Silent Sanctuary- “Magkatabi tayo sa duyan sa ilalim ng buwan buhangin sa ating mga paa ang hangin ay kumakanta”
2) Sembreak by Eraserheads- “Walang silbi sa bahay telebabad sa telepono o kaya’y kasama ang buong barkda nakatambay sa may kanto”
3) Dusk and Summer by Dashboard Confessional
4) Trip by 6cyclemind- “Trip mo trip ko kahit saan ka patungo walang iwanan wala rin tatago trip mo bang sumama sa paglalakbay”
5) Sunburn by Sandwich-“Here she goes coming on the water here she goes summer refugee I just want to be on the beach Sunburn”
6) First Of Summer by Urban dub

Nakisabay ang kalikasan sa Rockalikasan

Actually last year pa ito. Since wala pa akong blog nun, ngayon ko na lang i-kwento. So ayun, nagkaroon ng concert sa aming school at ito ay tinawag na Rockalikasan. Kaso dahil sa kalikasan, na postponed ito dahil ito yung mga days na sobra ang ulan. Ang original line up ay: Imago, Sandwich, Itchyworms, 6 cycle mind, Salamin, at Join the Club. 120 bucks ang price. So ayun sinungab ko ang chance na mapanood ito since yung mga high school friends ko ay pupunta din daw. Reunion ito. Ayun punta nga sila. Pero this time nag iba ang line up. Nawala ang sandwich, pumalit ang Calla lily at Urban Dub. Ang unang nag perform ay galing sa aming skul na Ped Xing. Kanta ng mga covers like “Tattooed on my mind” tapos iba pa. kanta din sila ng orig nila. So ayun. I think naunang mag perform ang Join the Club. Kanta ng songs nila “Lunes”, “Nobela” at iba. Di ko alam yung iba kasi hindi nila ako fan. Sumunod ang 6cyclemind. Kanta ng “Sandalan”, “I”, “Trip” at “Mahiwagang Pag-Ibig” (?) Dahil nga sa hindi sanay makakita ng lalaki ang mga tao dun, lakas ng hiyawan nila. Then Imago. Actually si Aia dito nag high school sa amin so habang nag pre-prepare sa next song nag kwe-kwento siya like yung mga girls dito kakaiba. Parang tayo ang nag stand out chu chu… dahil sa napagod ata sa kakasigaw sa 6cyclemind, medyo hindi naka sigaw yung tao sa kanya kaya sabi ni Aia, parang mas malakas ang sigaw ninyo sa kay Ney ha. Hehehe. Tapos parang some students pina baba siya pero sabi niya di pwede di ninyo ako makikita. Hahaha. Kanta siya ng “Akap”, “Anino”, “Tara Let’s” at “Sundo”. Sa “Tara Let’s” nag head stand pa siya. Tapos sunod Salamin. Ito yung band nung anak ni Gary V. plus yung sa pepsi commercial yung guy na nag “Wo wo wo wooooh” ginagaya si Bamboo. Di ko alam yung mga songs nila. Then medyo umulan. So break muna. Nung tumila na. rock and roll ulit. Ning tapos na, yung dalawa kong friend nagpa picture at humalik pa kay Pepsi. Yuck!! Ang pawis nun noh. Tsaka di siya ganun kasikat at ka gwapo. Hehe. Sumunod Calla lily. At that time, hindi pa sila sikat. Yung “Stars” medyo na patutog na sa radyo. Pero di pa talaga ganung ka hit. So di ko alam yung ibang songs na kinanta niya. Tapos “Salamin”. No comment. Then itchyworms. Nakakatuwa nga sila eh. Namigay pa sila ng posters tapos ang nakakuha yung katabi kong friend. Haha. Tapos nag konting “Sugod” sila. Humingi pa nga sila ng permit to sing “Beer” kasi nga Catholic school kami. Ayun kanta ng “akin ka na lang”, “Salapi”. Ayos din sila. Funny guys. Last but not the least Urban dub. Actually kung nauna sila umuwi na kami kasi medyo late na din at naambon. Pero dahil first time ko silang makikita pinag patuloy na namin ang panonood. Kanta ng “Alert the Armory” at “First of Summer”. Ang k.j. ng mga madre pinatitigil na kasi nga medyo nauulan at anong oras na din yun. Kasi sa ticket mga hanggang 9:00 lang dapat. Pero anong oras na din yun. Buti nakanta pa nila yung “First of Summer”. Pero sa last part di na nila na kanta yung last part. Kasi pinatay na yung mic. Tapos nagpapaalamat sila kasi tinapos namin at nanood pa rin kami kahit umuulan na nga. Naririnig ko nga din yung iba eh, sabi nila sana Urban dub na para makauwi na kami. Ang daming naghihintay sa kanila kaso bad trip yung madre 2 lang ang nakanta nila. Pero ok lang. Ang astig niya or I mean nila. Infairness maganda si Lalay Lim.
So ayun. Rock and Roll hanggang umaga!!

Flying high

These guys embody the “they are more than just a pretty face”.

Speaking of mojofly, wala na si Ricci Gurango, the last original member of the group. Now they are compose of very beautiful and handsome people like Lougee Basabas still on vocals and Ali Alejandro on drums plus Allan Elgar on guitars. I’m really looking forward sa “another new” mojofly sound because of the demise of Ricci which I think their leader. But these guys are not your ordinary band member because they are not rookies. Lougee was a member of Ryan Cayabyab's pop teen-group, Kaya, which released an album under BMG Records Pilipinas, as well as her very own band Superlooj. Ali my fafa Alejandro in the other hand is the son of “kilabot ng kolehiyala” Hadjie Alejandro. Allan Elgar struggled with various bands throughout most of high school and college till Loudwater, an underground band that played regularly at the notorious Club Dredd. In 1996, he joined the Jett Pangan Group with his younger brother Michael (present-day guitarist of Rivermaya).
I think they are one of the bands that should be in line with today’s hottest bands like Sponge Cola, Imago to name a few. Maybe they are not that popular but I think they will get there. But if not, people don’t know what is really “good pinoy music”.
Mojofly also appeared on various commercials. Like the Del Monte Pizza Sauce commercial were I saw Ali and fall in love with his good looks. And I can’t forget the “dito na lang ako sa inyo tita” with matching nabubulunan effect. Lougee became more popular when she appeared at the commercial for Creamsilk commercial. That’s what you called “girl power”.
I really admire these guys. If I’m a guy I think I will fall in love to lougee. Haha. Nonetheless, I really love these guys and I will support them because they are really good and great rockers.

Now

Actually matagal na akong meron nito… pero dahil kelan lang ako nag ka blog eto sayo!!

Album Title: Now
Content: 11 tracks
Album Artist: Mojofly
Label: EMI

Review: Ricci Gurango (bass) was still her when this album came out. Kasama din ditto sina Lougee Basabas on vocals and Ali Alejandro on drums. These 3 piece band stand up again after Kitchie Nadal left the band. This is an album full of love songs, but in different tunes or sounds. Lougee also puts humor in every song.

1) Bato- I like the dooo…dooo… doo… part. it’s a song about sa pagiging “manhid” or just shy because he doesn’t want to show his real feelings. It is quite a funny song because of the lines “Mamundok ka na lamang kaya sa akin ay wag ka ng magpakita bato”
2) Sa Uulitin- I like the drum sound (I’m not being bias ha). Feel na feel ko yung sound, yung guitars, bass lahat… it’s a song about things you want to repeat again. A very good song for sa mga mag boyfriend/girlfriend “Naubusan na ng mga salita nag-uusap na lang ang mga salita nakakamangha”
3) Close to the end- the first two songs are quite up beat. Ngayon they slow things up. I think parang mamatay na siya… hehe or maybe close to the end na yung relationship nila. Longest song sa album
4) Mata- hay… I really like this song… very much… I like yung first line kasi ang astig “kamusta na…” basta astig talaga
5) Even if…- shortest song naman. Nakakaloka yung line na “I’m not looking for a one night stand” I think it’s a song about even if I’m not looking for a one night stand I can love you and my intentions is clean
6) Thank you- my least favorite song. Why? For me parang pang dagdag sa album pero I think its about Lougee “my litter sister Katie she so pretty she said she wants to be like me someday”
7) Tumatakbo- whoaah!! Another favorite of mine. And I think one of the soundtrack of my life. Lougee put another humor with this line “lagging bigo laging sawi sa pag-ibig minamalas o kay sakit may balat nga ba ako sa pwet”
8) Turn- I think it’s a song about moving on or leaving someone.
9) Wake up- I really like the lyrics (bias ba? Hehe) kasi it’s like so me… pero pag naka earphones ang sakit sa ears kasi ang pangit ng parang may umuugong.. I thought ng una sira lang yung player ko…
10) I don’t want you- medyo upbeat ulit. Yun lang… pero ok din
11) Mata 2- remake of my favorite song… if the fist one is good eto best na…

Packaging: good effort sa packaging siyempre si fafa Ali ata gumawa niyan. I like yung sa dulo may may drawing for every titles. Like yung “bato”, ali draws a rock. Then yung “mata” they draw one eye. Pero dun sa “Mata 2” they draw 2 eyes… haha si Lougee ay di nag patalo kay Ali, she made the comic strip about the story behind how the 3 meet.
Overall: Astig!!! Very funny yung mga songs. hindi ko mapipigilan na di mapatawa. That I think hindi ko nagagawa when I’m listening to other albums. 4 and a half rock stars out of 5.

Yahoo!!

I’m currently a member of more than 14 yahoo groups. Why I joined these yahoo groups, to be updated to that artist and to ask na din some questions. Those yahoo groups members are compose of the band member, manager, and their fans. In the case of Circus-the yahoo groups of eraserheads, this is the longest living yahoo group in the Philippines I think, I’ve got to ask questions and ang sumasagot ay mga die hard e head fans at pati yung mga ex managers. Yung pagsali ko naman sa yahoo groups ni Kitchie Nadal, kasi I need to interview her for my project in school because at some point she studied at my school. So ayun. Ito yung some na kasali ako…

Up dharma down
Sponge Cola
Imago
Eraserheads
Sandwich
Chicosci
Urbandub
Kitchie Nadal
Mojofly
Rivermaya
Pupil
Sugarfree

Marami pa like yung sa school yahoo groups. Basta things like that. Pero I’m opening the yahoo groups of eraserheads, pupil and rivermaya than the other group.

Dead End

I
Ako ay tumatakbo
Para bang may humahabol na aso
Nakasangga ng lasenggo
Lagot na ko tsong
Panay ang sorry ko
Pero mukhang walang epekto

Chorus:
Dead end na ito
Wala nang matatakbuhan
Dead end na ito
Humihungi ng saklolo
Dead end na…
(Dead end na!!)

II
Tuloy ang takbo
Habang hinahabol ng lasenggo
Nakabangga naman ng gwapo
Lagot na ako tsong
Panay ang sorry ko
In love na ata ako

Chorus 2
Dead end na ako
Sa pag-ibig na alay mo
Dead end na ito
Humihingi ng saklolo
Pakawalan mo na ako
(Pakawalan mo na ako)
Baka ma dead end na naman ako

Actually parang kanta sila… hina-hum ko lang ito kasi I don’t know anything about chords or whatsoever… so ayan basta kanta ito… pero pwede ding poem…

“Unnoticed Girl”

I
You’re trying to push me
Of something I really like
But I’m scared to show who I really I am
I’m reserve
I’m shy kind of girl
Not really ready to be known

Chorus:
Cause I think I’m useless
I’m something always on the last list
I’m unnoticed
But I know I can be somebody
Somebody different of what you think about

II
Stars are my best friends
My room is my hang-out
Spending hours
Alone by myself

Repeat Chorus

Now I’m strong
Now I want to show the strength that I have
Ready to face the demanding world
Ahead of us…

Tuliro?

I really love Sponge Cola back when they were just an indie artist. Yung tipong mahirap sila mahagilap, marinig at Makita. So if you get a chance talagang ang saya ko na. pero ngayon na sikat na sikat na sila, nababawasan na ang pagkagusto ko sa kanila. Na notice ko ito nung nakita ko yung Myx Mag. Usually pag may nakikita akong kahit ano tungkol sa kanila. For example mga magazines, song hiits… bibili ako kaagad. Pero ngayon parang wala lang. ok merong magazine na nandoon sila sige bye… ayun. Tsaka kasi parang di na sila mahirap Makita. Walang ka challenge challenge… Pero kailan lang nung mag guest sila sa hit 99.5… woah!! Nakausap ko sila… hay naku… ewan tuliro lang ako…
