Lost Songs
Dither
(2002)
Fading, an ebb of laughter
Returning, a flow of colours
Taciturn now, there is nothing left to say
All words won’t be enough to make you stay
When you go, just please take it all away
I’d rather be left with nothing
Than be haunted by your days
Branded milquetoast and I guess they’re right to say
That all I’ve lost, I don’t ( Read more... ) -
Be Still, My Beating Heart
I was really looking forward to an event that I'd be competing in. I was raring to go into training. We were told that we had to be cleared by doctors in order to compete. ECG was normal. My BP was 140/90.
He took one again after 5 minutes. 150/100.
What the flying fuck?! I thought I was living healthily! I eat my vegetables, work out at least twice ( Read more... ) -
Those Gibberish Things Within Songs
Just found out about this amazing site: http://www.seeqpod.com/
It's basically a playable search engine. It almost has every song by every artist you could think of.

It's rare that I get giddy over something these days. But I find that I only need to hear some inspiring lyric for that zest for life comes back faster than one can say 'baduuuuy!!!'

Black Hole
When i first read this book, I felt something odd. I felt strange that a book could affect me so much. It's tragic, it's romantic, and it's sensual. Why is it strange? Because of the tail. Great storyltelling.
And David Fincher is going to direct the feature film. And Neil Gaiman with Roger Avary on screenplay. How could it go wrong?

Crux
During the holidays, a friend mentions that he is currently managing so many bands that he thinks he ought to start his own label, to which I joked that maybe he should. He then casually asks me to help him out, saying he's seriously thinking about doing it. Heck, I'm game!
I feel that this year will be the crux of whatever the future will bring the ( Read more... ) -
An Impersonal Look At The Past
Where to start with the year that was.
Well, 2007 was the year that the earth gave out some of its secrets. Most of them are really eerie. Such as that place where the ocean waters are the clearest. Or the fact that the speed demons on EDSA may actually make our days shorter. Bummer.
As if high school kids don't have enough to deal with already; In ( Read more... ) -
Starting Over, Overcrowded Buses, Busted By Nerds
Gigging at Malate this Saturday, December 15. It's a production we've never heard of and with bands we've never played with before. It's a perfect slate to start over again with. We're going to play the same old songs, except for a few tweaks here and there. What I'm actually excited about are the new songs. We tried one at the previous jam session ( Read more... ) -
You'll Always Get Burned But You'll Never Give It Up
Have you ever tried descending down two steps per stride? You can go up two, even three steps as fast as you can and it wouldn't be a problem. But try going just as fast in descent and it becomes tricky. But it's just that - a trick of the brain; it's not used to processing that information. One would always think of the possible (probably hurtful ( Read more... )
