Jetlagged

Here I am at 5:00am composing this entry. I don’t know when sleep will get a hold of me but in any case, might as well blog.

To say that I had a very unfortunate incident, would be an understatment – I lost a TON of cash at the airport before I left the country a couple of days ago. I don’t really intend to expound on it as it really depresses me to think about it, so I’ll leave it at that. Suffice to say that it was enough to “ruin” the tour spirit in me. But God has some weird way of showing you the brighter side of things.

Initially, I was really stoked on going on tour, then plummeted right down to 0-motivation that fateful day, now I guess I’m back up to about 80%. I’m not so sure that will get any higher – while I do enjoy the whole BP-tour side of everything, having that amount stolen is not something I could just brush off. But nonetheless, I’m not a defeatist, and I do acknowledge the “lucky” breaks we’ve had after the incident.

Last na din

I guess this is the last time I’m going to talk about this because I’m really nearing the brink of not caring anymore. Before that however, lemme link to nice blog-reads from three friends, having three different perspectives.

There’s obviously no wrong or right take on this anymore, all perspectives make perfect sense, and all are sensible people that’s why I’m sharing all three.

Thirds take– which I will add to in a bit, because he basically has the exact same sentiments I do as far as this issue is concerned. But the difference is he is still proud to be Pinoy! So at least I’m relieved to know that my attitude towards the matter isn’t because I’ve lost respect in our country.

Jeline’s take – With a nice little bit of first hand martial law wisdom from her parents

Quark’s take – which I have to say, after this post, is the perspective I’ll probably be consciously migrating to eventually.

While I believe that detaining/arresting protesters, and invoking that bullshit Proclamation 1017 is the stupidest thing a “leader in question” could possibly do, I also firmly believe the Media is in fact blowing everything out of proportion – wether it be intentional or not. Hence, they are already partly to blame for all of this.

EDSA to the nth power

The only thing I see happening is a bunch of idiots trying to put another idiot out of power… and a whole lot of other idiots trying to cash in on the opportunity.

I’ve read scenes from the Animal Farm that ran more smoothly than this.

You know something has lost its meaning when you already think along the lines of “Damn this stupid rally… how the hell am I supposed to pick my girlfriend up!?”

Face it people, the memory of the TRUE EDSA has already been trivialized/desecrated. Don’t you think it’s time for the Idiot Filipino People to move on to their next abomination?

For Christ’s sake, someone friggin’ colonize us already.

Oh and take note on which CATEGORY I chose to mark this post as hehehe.

It will be mine…

I’m posting this to force myself to achieve this goal… nothing worse than the feeling of people asking: “whatever happened to that thing you wanted to get?” So this is the perfect way to get motivated. Pride has always been my favorite sin hahahaha.

After listening to the Interactive Demo, it made my Ovation sound like it sucked ballsack. Not that it was a good model to begin with, but being an Ovation should’ve counted for something… or so I thought.

Anyways, the audio samples, contrary to what the demo claims, aren’t high quality (who are they kidding!?) But nonetheless, they were enough to make anyone to grasp the general sound of the T5s. I’m particularly inclined to getting either a Koa or Spruce top, cuz the Maple sounded really muffled.

I guess this is the time when I actually hate my ears for noticing these little nuances, considering the price of this sucker, I was ready to get the cheapest model… until I heard the soundclips, now I have to force myself to save up for more just to get a decent sounding model for my tastes.

Anyways, that’s beside the point. We’re leaving for another US Tour this April, and though I’m not really counting on it, I’m kinda hoping that I could raise enough funds to be able to order it come April. So I’ve been doing some side-projects, which probably covers half as of now – assuming I don’t buy anything at all from tow till then (hahaha, good luck to me).

So if anyone there has a project they need someone to work on, don’t hesitate to gimme a holler! For those who have worked with me, you know I can deliver the goods, so if you have anything that needs finishing before April, you know who to call 🙂

I’d post more info why I chose the guitar… but to add to the motivation, I’ve decided to do so after I get it hahaha.

Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition

On our messageboard, there was a picture of the candidates for the new PBB Celebrity Edition. I did a double-take and saw that Mich Dulce was on it. Visited the official site, visited Quark’s blog, and I guess only today did it sink in that she’s really part of it.

Mich was a benchmate of ours during college. I can say that she was pretty outspoken to say the least. I have no idea what personality she has now since we’ve been out of touch for the longest time, but I after readin Chris’ comment:

im sorry mich, i love you, but you are too strange for the sam milby loving masses. budoy gets teh million, you heard it here first.

I’d have to agree. Even as a benchmate, I could only take her in small doses. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the first one out. Unless of course she does a complete 180 and becomes a maka-masa character. But either way, people who know her… know her. Putting on that facade would really prove interesting to watch! If she’s lucky, and if she’s not “known,” then that facade would probably be beneficial if she could keep it up.
