giving it up

here are the pics that i promised to post. these are the pics from our gig last Sinulog and we had a good set at that time. the crowd was listening and was calm. they thought we were a new band so it was kinda funny. damn, we are already 5 years old in the punk scene. we had been to gigs and all that band stuff but we have to mellow it down in 2003. we figured out that education is more important than all this. we need to focus on education cuz we are dumb at it. we can't seem to juggle the band and our future easily. we have to give up one.

luckily, it turned out great. errol and earl will graduate this march, lumo graduated 2 years ago, and i will have my time soon on october.

feels so right to know we did right.

starstruck

just finish posting some of the pics from Sinulog. vior only sent 2 of them and i think daot's got lots of pics from that night. so i am requesting john lloyd to please send me some of the pics that night for posting. i will explicitly publish it here.

yesterday, i recieved the pictures from our latest gig from may (errol's gf). i will be posting the Lasagna Surfers pics later on.

as you can see on the pics, your favorite stars are spending the night away drinking at Cafe Laguna. expensive place huh. well, what are stars if they don't spend anything right?

oh yeah, we accept sponsorships.

what are you doing on my friendster?

i just got out from my friendster account. i can't believe there were people on my friendster that i didn't know. i was scanning my friend's list and to my surprise, there was someone named Lil Ron. i decided to check his page and his location says that he is in mexico. i have no friend in mexico that's for sure. still, i decided to dig deep and checked out his photos. it was no mexico! it's somewhere in the philippines and he was like a sick hippo than a mexican. through his photos, i can label him as a hiphop. i don't know though where he stands though, bloods or that other piece of shit group. he's got black bandanas and dress like a mexican or a puerto rican perhaps. without further investigation, i deleted Lil Ron.

i have a new blog that is called The Hungry Underground. the blog is all about gunbound. i don't know if i could keep up with it because i don't know if somebody is viewing it or something. it does not motivate me that much to post on it. here's the web link to the blog: http://hungryunderground.blogspot.com

i started playing this new online basketball game called FreeStyle. i am a center, vior is a power forward, and oca is the small forward. it is street basketball and you get to wear avatars too. so hiphop it makes me puke everytime i open the game. the game welcomes the user with this stupid korean rap which eventually led us to some laughs.

i feel like playing already.

sinulog '06

last sunday, it was the feast of our patron, Sto. Nino. while everyone was getting ready to go to the streets and get wild, the gang was online playing gunbound. at first, it looked like we have no plans to go outside of jamestown. at around 3pm, daot gave me a ring and told me to proceed to his place. when i arrived, vior was already there, eating kropeks with jerick. then the bottles of red horse popped out from the fridge. it has started, i told myself. we finished everything up and went back to my crib and went straight to the shower.

after dinner, i found myself at vior's, waiting for everyone to come. daot went to ayala entertainment center with dj, doti, jingle, zoey, doti's high school peers, oca and dandel. at vior's mobile, it was me, manyak, hazel, honey, and 2 cases of red horse beer. daot went to the ayala entertainment center so we decided to follow. the traffic was so heavy, the city looked like a junkyard. the number of people was overwhelming. street parties are everywhere, from the rooftop, inside the building, at the backyard, it was everywhere.

when we arrive at the entertainment center, i was all sweat when i saw the mountain of people inside. getting inside was near impossible. as techno and trance beat was playing inside, party music filled the grounds of ayala. daot and his cohorts were at Bigby's so we went crowd surfing inside. we had a couple of pictures with the gang and we decided to go back outside and wait for everyone to finish. zoey was already crying and so they went home first as daot and jerick stayed.

just in front of Cafe Laguna, we opened the trunks and started drinking. as we were standing to catch a glimpse of the nearby concert, we saw tere and ralph walking down the street, they look like they don't know where to go and so we called them. they decided to hang out with us cuz we were having fun at the parking lot already. doti, dj, and her high school peers came back and our brother drex arrived. the parking lot is the rally point for the jamestown boys i guess. opal and his high school mates arrived too and had their drinks beside us. doti and her girl friends were drinking too. ricky boy and bibo arrived. they were kinda drunk and shortly, kew and jb came. jb was fucked up already. but we were still talking about the production and all that shit. jerick was sleeping already and bibo layed on the cement. we had a couple of funny scenes too. like oca urinating at the Lagoon, in front of dozens of people. that was the shiznit.

i hope fishes still swims on that lagoon as of this writing.

anyways, we finished everything up at 5am. as i arrive at my place, feeling contented with what we had for sinulog, i looked at the time.

it was 6:04am.

"next year na pud." i said to myself.

as my eyes slowly closed, i hear myself breathe and gasping for some sleep.

back from hibernation

after almost 2 years of hibernation, the Lasagna Surfers had started practicing again for tomorrow's launching of the Twinkle Records Split CD. oh how i missed the microphone and lumo's old antics during practice. but i miss the gigs on stage more. we will be playing 3 previously unreleased songs and is now included in the cd. it is SRA's 11th year anniversary. Struggle for Radical Action is a punk organization in cebu which held punk shows, tree planting activities, feeding programs, etc.

i am part of the organization. i have been inactive since the band cooled off for school 2 years back. im happy to be back again on cebu's big band wagon and is pretty much excited about the show tomorrow. for us, the lasagna surfers, we are back on the drawing board and hopefully will produce more catchy tunes and sly songs.

i won't be making this long since i will have to rest because we will have band practice again tonight at 9pm. i will be back after the sinulog weekend, which i will post whatever activities that we will take.

i will be posting the show's pics too, so get ready.

a dry throat and a burning head

Happy New Year!!!

i have been really busy with parties and drinking sprees. i have been drinking so hard, my throat was wounded. it's because of the vodka that daot offered. when i woke up, my throat was so dry i tried to wiggle my tongue for some saliva. didn't worked, i coughed, and there was blood and my throat already is crying from the pain.

New Year party was another classic. we started drinking at around 1am in the morning and we ended the damn thing at 10am already. we ordered 5 cases of red horse beer and after we consumed it, it was only patrick, vior, bibo, oca and i. it was already 7am. patrick said he will add 1 more case and the rest was history. i went straight to bed when i arrive at my place and i woke up at 12pm. i only had 2 hours of sleep and i found myself fixing up for another party. tere invited us at her crib. i was there and my head was killing me.

saw tere for the first time too. it was awkward but it's all good. got a new weezer cd from her, a shirt and a LIVE cd from her cousin, tonette. thanks guys.

this blog has been operating for 1 year already, i will try to find out when was my first post and i think i will re-post it on that day. thanks for all that has been reading this damn thing. : )
