EAGLEMAN

Yeah it was a wild ride. I had the coldest of the nights early on but had the brightest smiles later this year. I lost a long relationship, got screwed up and rose back from the dead. Met so many people that had changed my perspective in life. Met someone who changed me. I had the chance tour around the country with my band and met so many beautiful Filipinos and had the rare chance to share our music with them. I also had a chance to meet all those brilliant musicians and learned a lot from them as we went places to places. Had the scariest plane ride and the scariest hotel in all of my existence. Yeah it scared the crap out of me. So I’ll for sure miss 2010. For it damn sure had the best of me. Thanks everyone. Specially to those who made a mark here inside :)

Ayoko nang bumitiw
Mga kamay na nanlalamig, naliligaw sa iyong tinig
Ilang sandali pang hinihingi
Mga matang ayaw pumikit, pumapatak na ang sakit

Nag tatanong sa langit
Ano na? Paano? At bakit?

Sa yong paglakbay
Sukbit mo ang aking hiling,
Na kung sakaling ikaw ay babalik,
Damdamin mo ay nariyan parin.
At ang aking pagtingin,
Sa pagtahak iyong dalhin,
Saan ka man makarating
Ito ay sa iyo pa rin.

Sa bawat saglit na sumisilip,
Tila isang hapon na lumililim.
Kasabay din ng tinginang lumalalim,
Ay ang dahan mong pag kupas sa takipsilim

Nagsusumamo na ang mundo ay tumigil
Puso ko ay tumatakbo pa-sa iyo giliw
Sa pagtulog ang himig mo ang aking himbing
Walang ibang panaginip kundi ikaw ay makapiling

:(

it sucks to know that i suck at goodbyes

Panaginip
Sa’yong pagtulog ako sa’yo ay nakatitig

Sa’yong piling
Panahon at oras, lahat ng bagay tumitigil

Sumandal sa akin
Pikit mata kailan pa man kita ay iibigin

Panaginip,
Alam mo bang ikaw ang nasa isip,
Lumilipad sa langit,
Dala dala ng hangin
Ang iyong tinig.
Ikaw ang panalangin
Wala ng hahanapin,
Ikaw ang aking panaginip

Just in case I forget the lyrics, may wi-fi naman sa studio eh. hehe

Hello Tumblr

Nothing to do again eh?

Just got home from Gracenote’s gig which is as I may say is “Malupet” haha. Also got the chance to witness Quartered, a foreign act from US, perform on a bar gig setup, which is extremely interesting. Two words. Kick Ass. Plus that local act Kastigo was one of those hair-raisers or should I say, hell-raisers.

Anyways, I am a fresh human being from a 700km trip around Northern Luzon and I must admit it was the most fun fun fun getaway that I have been on. Me and my bestfriend went to Pampanga first and got to take her to Angeles with us. :) We went to Pam’s place and hangout with the other guys there, boozed and, oh yeah, I  tried puffing shisha which was something different and purely harmless. no nicotine no tar no nothing :)

The next day we went straight to Baguio. It was a 6-hour bus ride and my butt was like so much in pain hahaha. Imagine the torture. We arrived around dinner time and it was like so cold when we got there. Thanks to my stoked jacket I was salvaged. Hahaha. The next night we went to the night market and straight to my cousin’s bar. Unfortunately my cousin wanted us to play there and it was just me and madeline around. So we had to let Pope, her brother and Brian, a good friend of ours fill in the space. We were planning to play just one song just to satisfy my cousin’s request but the crowd screamed more so we had no choice. The set was horrible, I just don’t know how the crowd liked it. Haha! That night when we got home, we packed the tent and set it up on the park near the house that we were staying in. It was really freezing out there and we slept with a bon-fire on. It was my first time by the way. Haha. We laughed until we fell asleep.

The next stop was San Fernando, La Union. Poplularly called as “Surfernando”. Getting there was torture as well. Having to ride and ordinary bus for 3 hours. There we went for nothing but surfing! Oh Yeah! Everything was perfect, the sun, the sand, the water, the waves, the surf. It seemed like the world was on a full stop. Since I am not a fan of sunburn, I stayed in the shades until there was a good share of less sun rays which was really good because i was the least sun-burnt skin in the group. I got to stand up on the board in a really proud-mannered delivery “3 seconds”. Oh Yeah!

Next stop was Dau, Pampanga. 5-hour bus ride to Dau was a calvary. My arms and shoulders was so sore of surfing and my skin was kinda burning due to minor sunburn and the stress of paddling with the board was taking its toll. We went straight to our friend’s house, rest for a while and went clubbing to his dad’s bar at Balibago. Everybody was so drunk except for me of course, who is currently under a sobering project with the help of someone. :)

So there. That is the synopsis of my super compact and exciting trip around Northern Luzon!

The heat is effin killing me. Urgh

Nothing to do on facebook, sot sick of watching The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-3 for almost eight times and waiting for Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 Episode 19, My guitar is at the studio and ran out of DVD’s to watch so HELLO TUMBLR!

There was this stupid power outage a while ago while I was sleeping, it was impossible to go back to sleep when its 35 degrees Celsius scorching your back in bed so I had to be up.

By the way my aunt just died of breast cancer 3 hours ago so let’s pray for her soul. Coincidentally, the lady at the store where I usually buy drinks and stuff also passed away the other day due to cardiac arrest. Funny how God reminds me that life is short and we have to tell the people that we love that we love them and savor each moment while we are existent. I wonder how I would die. A car crash would be cozy. I never really wanted to die in bed. Dang

Obviously I have no one to talk to.

Wait gotta go to the bathroom Ugh

For a minute my abdomen sounded like werewolves.

Well anyways, its obvious that I have dead nothing to do so I do this. The last thing I would do in the world is blog. Obviously no one to talk to and sick of the facebook crap I do every single day. So hows my life doing. Err. By the way I missed my parents’ 30th anniversary. How uncool is that. Thanks to Manila’s epic traffic I wasn’t able to get there and to make things even worse my sister is in Singapore so I thought they went alone. Later that evening I learned that they never got to go eat dinner outside because I wasn’t there. Nice job tiger. Anyhow it was still good because I got to watch Gracenote’s gig, which I may say is so awesome :), and I got to take her to the bus station which made me feel safe that she’s safe. :) It was a really busy Holy Wednesday for the metro. Went home then buried my self into the bed.

Oh and I met this really really brillant guy from pampanga who happens to be a really really brillant song writer through a good friend of mine in Dau. He went to my place to share some of his works with my band and his songs are over the roof man! At first I thought that he was just some regular dude with lines and stuff but when I started to scrutinize his thoughts I thought, man I’m talking to a genius. He shared things about song writing that I have never even thought of for a single atomic bit. He was like a Master Shi-Fu of songwriting. He told me he has roughly 200 songs all in his head. For a minute I thought he was a junkie when he had to say that. So we listened to the songs, though I was having problems with the audio quality so he had to dictate to me the lyrics. I was astonished to hear those lines coming up so perfectly in perfect timing. He was excited that I like his works and I intend to crash it in to our next record. By the way he was a Metro Pop Song Festival finalist. No wonder.

I’m waiting for my dad to fall asleep so I can actually go out of my house.

Yeah, I was watching one of my favorite shows, Grey’s Anatomy hours ago and I was watching Season 5 Episode 16. I never really liked Dr.Cristina Yang because she was not that much of a fun person but she said a line that I thought made a lot of sense.

“I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me”

The thought of her emotion on that incident persee doesn’t reflect to me at all. I just thought, “Hey man!”

Yeah well anyways I think that Dad’s asleep now so I can flee off to nothingness. Where incidentally describes me because right now I’m feeling like I’m pretty much, “Nothing”

Peace Out

I figured what the heck. I’ll try. Thanks eunice! Hahaha. I know i can do this. :p

I have every bit of inspiration to write a song, I have my friend’s kick-ass acoustic guitar in my room, I have a 60watt outdoor amp in the living room, I have my gadget rig on the floor, and I have my trusty guitar in my hands but not a single word is coming out of my mind. Not a single line for a stanza. Something’s wrong with me. Or maybe its just my tummy starving. Just ate a big sandwich by the way. Argh! Nothing more for me to do but to crash my bed. I’ll try again in the morning! Good night!
