It's a laaaate reaction mainly because I couldn't get myself to write about such a deja vu in the first place. Para bang sobrang konti na lang ang pakialam ko. . . but what the heck. And just for the sake of restrained punctuation. . . Putangina.

No AMP for us this year.

Ok so what about it?

I don't need an eighth of a downer. Haha. Not even a kazillionth of that eighth to keep me going. It'd have to get you thinking like nuts but this aint a problem at all for anyone. Just a lesson learned (argh..fuckin thorn. haha!). Sure if you got all angles considered, I think both the org and the band will miss out on each other (actually a lot more of the latter.. haha.. jazz kiddin.) but I'd really want to respect the decision made. They can't pin up too many bands on the roster and foster growth for each all at the same time, right? But then again, there is just so much in store for Pleasurebox as well. It might seem like a loooong stretch but we'll make a name for ourselves. It's a collective decision to get out of this rut. . . We'll surely go back to composing some more real pulstating stuff and then if God wills it somehow, we'll go on the plank and plunge into the whole intense PR process. I may be talking elementary but I think it all starts with the concept. The good thing is I'd like to think we've had it. . . We've come a pretty long way. Dati cover-cover lang, diba? Yes, the connections are important and nobody can deny it but there's just a side to all it where you kind of think, why not focus on yourself first? I know the stopwatch is tickin mad and I pretty much got two and a half more years of college then I'm out (sales talkin? nope. probably takin a sip of that mangostene smoothie in maldives, boy..haha) but it really is okay. We're not stepping on the gas. . . and neither are we riding a goddamn kalesa. We're on our way there. Just hoping and prayin. I guess I have to step my game up a lot first once again. . . So many rudiments to polish. So much transition fills to practice on the drums. So much carb to eat (Yeah jamie i know.. haha). So many chances to redeem oneself, right?

Dami pa yan. . . :)

Ok lang naman e. I very much respect Rayms' (in behalf of AMP) judgement.

We just have to keep playin. And thank you Jesus for letting us sound like we're something...

Good luck din kay Inigo and the rest of you guys. . .

Tomorrow, July 14,
9pm, Caf Saguijo.
Kapatid w/ Hale and Orange and Lemons.
----------------------------------


Happy Birthday, Tracy! :)
Hale, to my surprise, was pretty good that night. A lot of my perception of the band has to do with how they pull if off live e. They were something. Sentimental power ballad w/ a solid groove. I was fortunate enough to get to talk with most of them. Very friendly. . . They pretty much play everyday. Grabe...kung kami magkagig every weekend masaya na ako e. :P More power to them. :)

The party was really grand. I mean.. the chandeliers were already amazing. I felt like this lost boy e. Whew. Wish i had a miniature version of it hanging in the kitchen. hehe.

The food, wow. True love = beef sirloin. Champagne was so good. How often do you get to drink that man? hahaha.. saucy shit.
