Ultraelectromagneeticjaaaaaaaaaam

Blah blah blah.
First Row. Center seats.
Basta. We ended up there.

This is going to be a sane entry. For hyper entries, read Fuyu and Ame's blogs...

The Event: Ultraelectromagneticjam Album Launching Concert. 29 Nov 2005. UP Theater. A tribute to the Music of Eraserheads.

The Performers:

Alapaap - 6 cycle mind
I loved 6cyclemind. Yeah, loved. They gave a good rendition of Alapaap. Well, maybe that's because Alapaap is a really good song. I have mixed feelings about their japorm...or rather, that they are now a japorms alternative band.

Magasin - Paolo Santos
Dilaw ang kanyang bukok at suot nya'y green. Too bad, I don't have a picture. I would say that I liked his performance because Marcus Adoro jammed with him.His yellow hair is a bit...weird...pero...sige lang.

Spoliarium - Imago
Bravo! Bravo! This is one of my favorite performances, and one of my favorite tracks in the CD. Imago Rocks! Bagay na bagay ang kanta for the band.

Overdrive - Barbie Almalbis
It's probably her. I never really liked Barbie or Barbie's Cradle in hthe first place. Ummmm, Overdrive is supposed to tell a story. Barbie's rendition did not tell a story - again, in my opinion. Naging pacutesy yung song. basta, hindi nya kaya yung part na "Gusto mo ng Labong, Tahong....Pinatuyong Itlog ng Kabayo".

With a Smile - South Border
Not my type. Beth liked it though.

Tikman - Sugarfree
Bravo again! Ebe's voice...Wow...

Ligaya - Kitchie Nadal
When she started singing, I didn't recognize her. Nothing spectacular about it. Ligaya was simply sang by Kitchie.

Torpedo - Isha
The first time I've heard Isha perform was during Fete de la Musique way back in June. An interesting version of the song. Mellow, but now pa-cute mellow. A change in the lyrics: "Pwede bang umalis na ka nagri-ring na ang cellphone ko!"

Huwag Kang Matakot - Orange and Lemons
Though surrounded with the Pinoy Ako rip-off intrigue, I do not hate the band. I do not exactly love them either. But I do love love love their version of Huwag Kang Matakot. Ang kulet! Mixed up with the Julie Tearjerky intro and Tikman chorus as second voice. I truly enjoyed their performance.

Pare Ko - Sponge Cola
Again, it's simply Pare Ko performed by Sponge Cola. It was the first time I saw them perform, and... it was just ok. Ok lang.

Huwag Mo Nang Itanong - MYMP
MYMP is not really my type. I don't know why they were included in the album. Maybe they are Sony Artists? Dunno.

Hard to Believe - Cueshe
Bad song choice for the band. For me, Hard to Believe is the song that best resembles the Eraserheads with the Beatles. But, well, sang by Cueshe... Errrrr... they turned it into rock. Maybe it would have been better if the vocalist (dunno his name) did not drag and eat the lyrics... and if he had memorized the lyrics... Very frustrating.

Alcohol - Radioactive Sago Project
I love Sago! (Insert vocalist name) bought a bottle onstage. Thought it was for props. But no, kodigo palaaaaa! Hilariously ingenious! Cueshe should have asked for advice from them.Di rin kabisado lyrics - but that's understandable (ako rin di ko kabisado eh).

Non-performers:

Superproxy 2K6 - Francis M
Too bad he wasn't there to perform. He could have spiced up the event. And maybe, the audience would finally start jumping up and down.

Maling Akala - Brownman Revival
I really liked their version of this song. However, i just hope that listeners would be informed that it is a song originally by Eheads.

Ang Huling El Bimbo - Rico J Puno
Aaaaaaaarggghhhh! I was looking forward to this. But he wasn't there.

Para sa Masa - Various Artists
I wished that the finale would be an all-star cast singing this song. But then, I was disappointed. No all-star cast performance. :(

Overall, the event was great. But not so GREAT! It was really, anti-climactic. I was really looking to that all-star cast performance. But...well. Good thing I was with my Amigas. :)

And thanks to Sarah for winning those front-row tickets! XD for Beth's patience, and Sara's camera for all those pics.

Well, once again, the batteries of my camera failed me. So I'm just gonna wait for the Sara/hs to upload their pics.

Elegy to my 3310

Boooooooooooo.
It was a bad week last week.
After losing Php500 last Monday, I lost my fone that Saturday. That was my fone and cel number for 5 years.

Boooooooooooo.
I left BA around 5:30 pm. I still had my fone then. Rode the UP-SM jeepney I've been riding for more tham 5 years. Before 6 pm, I started to look for my fone.

Hindi ko makapa.
Checked my jacket's pocket. Wala.
Tingin sa paligid ko. Wala
So I thought it's probably hidden somewhere deep in my backpack.
I thought wrong.

May Php 300 load pa yung fone at 5 free txts.

Booooooooooooo.

So I have a new number. An ugly number beginning with 0906. I'm trying to love it.

Tinext ng nanay ko fone. nag-reply yung nakakuha. Papunta na raw sya ng Baguio kaya di na nya maibabalik. Nagreply nanay ko na meron kaming kamag-anak sa Baguio. Ibalik na lang sa kanya, willing naman kaming bayaran (Yes, para sa isang 3310).

Nung Sunday ng gabi, nagreply ulit (Grabe, gamit pa rin yun SIMcard). Papunta naman daw syang Surigao.
Baguio: North
Surigao: South

Crap. If I know, sumakay lang yung ng UP-SM na jeep kanina.

Kaya itxt nyo yung lumang number ko: 09179931592...
"MERRY CHRISTMAS! PERO MALASIN KA SANA BUONG 2006! AT MALASIN KA BUONG BUHAY MO!"

At ang pinakamalupet, ay nagrereply pa sya sa ibang txt ng mga tao. Enjoy siguro sya sa dami ng load ko. So kung tinetxt kayo ng number ko na luma, ginagago kayo nung may hawak.

Kaya ngayon, promoted ako sa Nokia 1100. Pareho na kami ng fone ng kapatid ko.
Wuhuhuhuhuhuhu... andun nga lang yung picture messages ng logo ko sa 3310 ko.

Ay buwiset.
Sana wala na akong mawalang ibang mga bagay ko.

Elegy to my P500

I lost my wallet...
I found it eventually.I left it in the lib.

Contents:
Before Losing:
UP ID
Laking National Card
Expired Driver's License
Medical Insurance Card
Old Receipts, Calendar, Draw lots paper and other stuff
P2,100 plus coins

After Finding:
UP ID
Laking National Card
Expired Driver's License
Medical Insurance Card
Old Receipts, Calendar, Draw lots paper and other stuff
P1,600 plus coins

That P2,000 was my payment for my grad pic chosen package. Initally, I decided to avail for the P1,000 package. But, well... Bwahaha.

I'm stil thankful though na hindi nilimas yung laman ng wallet. Tinira pa yung barya, pamasahe rin yun. May kelangan siguro bayaran talaga. Sana hindi naman mauwi sa bisyo yung P500 na nawala. Or automatic nya siguro kinuha yung reward nya for finding my wallet. Anyway, salamat pa rin sa kung sinuman yun.

Chants in Enchanted Kingdom

Wohooooo!
My 7th trip to Enchanted Kingdom!

An enchanted day for all of us.....


It was raining yesterday. But when I woke up today... no rain at all. Yeah! Perfect weather to enjoy the park.











This time, I went with some of my blockmates.
Mr. EK Wizard was there to welcome us.














The favorite pambata ride. Hehehehe. The Grand Carousel. Cute during the day. And grand with all its lights at night.











My funniest EK trip ever! ;)


Well, that's all for now. More on this soon ;P. I'm too tired to think, and my hands are exhausted to even type.


8th EK trip, anyone? ^_____^
