Got Scared?

Hello Everyone...

last night, we played at 70's bistro without our our vocalist... it was still a good set but we were really disappointed that Jinky didn't show up... i really felt very awkward singing alone last night... it was a good thing that the crowd at 70's was very receptive (polite)... i fact i was even able to dish out some really pathetic lines which really made some of the crowd present smile a bit. lines like " good evening, we are soft pillow kisses. wala yung vocaist namin ngayon kasi nakipag-away cguro sa boy friend? ako nalang muna kakanta..." and "alam nyo, magaling naman kami 'pag practice pero ewan ko ba kung bakit kami ganito ngayon..."

after the gig, me, charles and rene did some thinking as to what to do with jinky so we wasted no time and interview any pretty girl that we were able to lay our eyes on... actually we already have a prospect but me and charles are a bit hesitant because of... well okey...

this afternoon, i was able to talk to jinky and she explained her side. i really can't accept her excuses because it was... ok, i won't elaborate...

this saturday, we will be playing at big sky... according to rene, jinky texted him that she'll be singing in that gig... ok i'll give her another chance but she'll have a lot of catching up to do, so she has to do it by herself. we won't be able to practice anymore for i'll be leaving for Hongkong tomorrow morning... if things turn out fine in that gig, then i'll forget how scared she was of performing last night to a point that she didn't show up and didn't even bothered to inform us even by just texting... by the way, i really hate situations wherein a phone is turned off in a effort to ditch any possibility of contact...

that's all for now...

Soft PIllow Kisses Lyrics... As Requested...

Wasting Opportunities...

i hope to see you later
afraid it might be late they say
well i want to
is it something stupid well i don't know...

i feel so elevated
whenever you're with me i hope
as i watch you
i think that i'm in love with you idon't know...

there's a chance that i'd be wasting opportunities by moving ahead
say goodbye to all the rest of my securities i mope coz i sense there's no time
and i'll be waiting here inspite what they say i hope you don't mind...
(coz something's playing here inside of my head i hope you are fine...)

no don't be irritated
so afraid that all the words i say might fall short
you never reall looked at me and it shows...


Losing Something

to be waiting
sadly staying
cruising along
hounded alone

trying to keep an open mind
inspired by the madness deep inside

losing something
viewed yet not seen
feeling so far
counting the hours

2 In A Row...

hello everyone...

it's been a while now since soft pillow kisses played 2 straight gigs in a row but we did it anyway...

soft pillow kisses played 2 successive gigs last monday and yesterday at 70's bistro (Anonas) with Kel of Candyaudioline filling in for janpol on drums and Conspiracy (Visayas Ave.) - with both kel and dennis (on guitars) of candyaudioline filling in for both janpol and charles - respectively... both gigs was well received but more important, to us especially because we intended to us these gigs to futher improve on our new vovalist's "perfomance style"... we were able to record it on video - 3 songs from the 70's Bistro gig, and 3/4's of "wasting opportunities from the conspiracy gig...

i will be uploading them soon once i get time to do so... ookie... long live (the) Queen's (Castle)!!!

The 70's Show...

hello everyone...

tonight we'll be playing at 70's Bistro... it is going to be the second gig for us and hopefully, improvements we'll be seen tonight... By the way, Janpol - our drummer - will be out of action for at least 2 weeks due to his work sched. Kel from Candyaudioline will be filling in... I also plan to play at conspiracy tomorrow if all things go well tonight and if everyone will be available tomorrow...

wish i could get the album out very soon so i could sell some copies at gigs... hehehe...

Back Again At Last...

Hello everyone...

For the first time in the past 3 months, we were able to play again as a complete unit... as i've mentioned in my last post, we have two new members. Jinky's the name of our new singer while the new bassist is Rene... I thought we had a great gig last Buzz Night but after watching a video that we took of our set i noticed that there was a lot to be done to improve the band, specially the singer... I saw her when her band played during last month's buzz night and during that time i was convinced that she was a good choice for a vocalist... i was wrong... during the two practice sessions that we had before the gig, i failed to notice the flaws.

last night i wasted no time and made use of my free time to meet up my my two new bandmates and bond together along with my candymates dennis and mavi. we went to 77 in kamuning where i thought i could get a chance to give jinky a one on one but i was so did tracted by the volume of people who frequent that place nowadays. but we did get the chance to practice and i was quite relieved upon learning that the flaws that i saw in jinky could still be remedied but i think it'll still take some time before i can get what i want out of her...

this Monday we'll be playing at 70's bistro, hope by that gig, i could get at lest 65% of what i'm really expecting from her... as for our new bassist, i think he's one of the best ones i had in any band that i've been into...

Here We Go Again...

hello everyone,

This Blog has been very quiet for the past 2 months because of a number of reasons. one is the in-activeness brought about by personnel hang-ups and work related reasons. Also the delay of the album's release brought about by such problems has forced me to keep quiet and just focus on fixing the situation...

Now i'm happy to say the the problem has been solved and that Soft Pillow Kisses has again undergone another line-up change... We now have a new bassist and a new vocalist... last tuesday, we practiced and we were able to do about nine songs. both new members are really skilled. Jinky, the new vocalist has a louder voice and range-wise she has an edge over the previous vocalist we had. i would just like to thank Jerry of the band Kim Deal's Revenge (of which Jinky is also the vocalist) for allowing Jinky to sing for us .. Rene, the new bassist, on the other hand is a great bass player and a fast learner too. he's also into the same type of music that we are all into...

Just can't wait to debut the new line-up on this saturday's buzz night...
