I remember when I was working in iAyala, that we used to surf Ad-Critic when it was still free, and one of my favorite ads were Fox Regional Sports wherein the concept was for them to show really absurd “sports” just to prove how far they will go to cover regional sporting events.
I must say I loved them.
Read MoreI’ve been opting to stay-in whenever I can while the rest of the group go on their respective “excursions.” I guess I’m lucky that so far, all the houses I’ve been to have WiFi (I’m not surprised, but it is a good bonus nonetheless).
I guess I might as well post since I got nothing better to do.
We’re in Los Angeles right now, and we still got 2 days till our concert… that means I’m staying in for two more days. It isn’t really a big deal since I’m used to it. Plus the fact that I pretty much have been to the places worth visiting here from our last tour. I’ve been able to save quite a lot because of it, so I’m not regretting it one bit.
To give you an idea, a safe amount I usually allot for a trip to the states (exclusive of plane fare) is at least 500USD for pure needs (e.g. transportation, food, etc.). That’s your minimum. Put shopping, theme park hopping, etc. in there, and that budget goes up dramatically.
We’re at the 2nd leg of the tour and I’ve only spent about 63 dollars. 34 of which, I could’ve avoided if I hadn’t let people persuade me to gimmick with them on our first night in NY and gotten a cheaper metro card (I got a 7 day unlimited pass… which I only used about 5 times) I’m making sure these things will never happen again.
In any case, that’s quite an accomplishment… and proof of sheer willpower hahahaha. Read More
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.
Jowi posted something interesting in her blog, which I will have to disagree with to a certain extent. I’ve commented on it, but I thought instead of editing myself with follow up replies (since LJ doesn’t seem to have a comment-edit feature) I’ll just state my argument here.
Read the post first before looking below, because I will assume you have absorbed it. Read More
Had a very pleasant week more or less. To sum up, the various pleasantries that have transpired are.
Had some fun
