Loud and Late

The show already started when we reach the Marikina shoe expo makeshift in Cubao. Blazing Bulalakaw, sir Alex's band, will be the 4th band to play for the night. the line-up was amazing. around 20 bands were there to support the album launching of Updharma Down. Word of mouth made the venue jampacked. It was not the usual bar set-up where bands play tired acoustic covers and yuppies discuss their usual yuppy craps. It was a gathering of indie bands (well, others already made it to the major labels) who just love to play original songs and share their music to all. After three high-schoolish bands played, Blazing Bulalakaw's entered the stage. one of the major set-backs of live shows is that it takes a while for the band to do sound check...wait...wait...wait. The songs were good. "Galeng," Dingdong and i agreed. Pedicab played next. It's Raymund Marasigan's side band. I love Pedicab! Maingay! Mahusay! By that time, most people are holding a can of san mig light, the mood was so tempting but because i made a promise earlier to be sober all night, i settled for a bottle of tropicana. Hah! One of our companions was so drunk that he kept on pestering me with questions like, "kau ba ni?" "naging kau ba ni?" It went on and on that i practically at wits end when i decided not to mind him. Ok, go ahead, keep on giving me imaginary boyfriends, for all i care...hehehe...

i only stayed until Parameta. it was 11:15 and i was practically going home late the previous nights that i opted to go home a bit early. I wish i stayed longer. Dingdong said i missed good bands like Radioactive Sago Project, Updharma, etc. it's ok, there's more to come.

that was my so-called saturday night.

Thinking about Saturday, that is, today...

I dropped my two MA subjects last week, Math Eco and Micro Eco, and still contemplating of dropping Managerial Eco as well. That would leave me dropping all my subjects this sem altogether. I'm burned out with the on-going IT Training in between my office work that i felt something has to give up for me to remain psychologically stable, as if i'm still is. I felt bad because i plan to finish graduate school in two years time so I could bum again. I need another vacation!


i was quite intrigued with Chapter 27, the new movie that chronicles the life of Mark David Chapman, the assasin of John Lennon. Chapter 27 is derived from a chapter in the Catcher in the Rye, one of my favorite books, which Chapman was clutching when he shot Lennon in the fateful day of December 8, along with the Double Fantasy album of John and Yoko. Jared Leto will play the role of Chapman with the added pounds. I love Jared Leto; even way back from his role as the wasted object of affection of Claire Danes in the tv series, My So-Called Life. God, that was a long time ago. I remember that was my favorite tv series, along with Fritze, in the late 90's. Hope it will be shown soon. It's so ironic how I got so interested with Chapman knowing that I am a die hard Beatles fan.

will be watching Sir Alex's gig later with Radio Active Sago Project and Up Darma Down. I promise to be sober...


...tomorrow again.
