Hello everyone...
Rene and I was able to see Marian once more... The last time we saw each other (although Rene wasn't there) was at the NU Rock Awards last November 30 and i was in quite an ugly predicament that time hehehe...
Come to think of it... It's only Me, Rene and Marian who are presently active members of Soft Pillow Kisses while on the Side of Candyaudioline it's Me, Dennis and Kel plus Cuckooh (although i've notice recently that she's a bit out of it)...
Jann Paul recently went back to Bicol for Christmas vacation while Charles is still unavailable... But Charles promised that he'll be playing guitars for Pillow this Buzz Night...
Marian had to go home early so after the Pillow session, we proceeded to practice a few more hours as Candyaudioline and went to eat at our favorite after practice destination... there we had our fill and started talking about one of the most important aspect of a guy's life - GIRLS... although that time, there were more guys than girls at Mr. Kabab... so we (Me and Rene in particular) shifted our discussions to more pressing matters...
we went home afterward... on my way home, i kept thinking at some of the items that me and Rene talked about... at how frustrating it was to wait this long for a band activity without having some of your real band mates with you... we also talked about Charles' situation and how it's becoming more annoying each time it presents itself... but we also realised that everything that's not to our liking will always be beyond our control... we'll just have to live with it for the mean time... a Bit Frustrating as always...
See you this Buzz Night... (December 26, 2007, Wednesday @ Mayrics)

Just Got Back...
Hello Everyone...
just got back from an out of town adventure of sorts... wasn't able to write something about it in this blog or even in the other blog because of time constraints and an incredibly slow broadband connection in the hotel where we stayed in at Dubai...
as for anything pillow to write about... well not much... although we did play a gig last November 28 at Mayrics... Sort of an impromptu Buzz Night of sorts which i can say, was quite a success because aside from a sizable attendance of sorts, i was surprisingly pleased at all the bands that played that night... Special mention goes to Random Knobs... very promising indeed... although i was a bit disappointed at how Tether played that night... Seems that they are beginning to lose to plot so to speak... Candyaudioline did very well that night... Nag-improve na si Cuckooh sa pagkanta which made me consider to keep her or should i say make her permanent... Although i'm still thinking about it really... As for Soft Pillow Kisses's performance that night, Rene's words sums up everything... "Iba Talaga ang Candy at Pillow pare, Angat na Angat sa iba... Lalu na yung Pillow"... normally, i wouldn't take Rene's words seriously because sobrang biased sya lalu na pag dation sa music at sa Pillow... pero the way we played that night was really something else... Not the perfect set that we usually do during Buzz Nights but it was really something... Kel of Candyaudioline played the drums for us, Charles didn't play his parts like he usually does because of lack of practices but everything was well in place... even Marian was singing i a way that i hoped she do for quite some time now...
well that's about that for now... hopefully we'll get together soon practice and play a gig somewhere with all members intact... can't really wait for that...hope it happens soon...

I Don't Know What To Say...
hello everyone...
it's been a very long time since my last proper post... the reason is this, there's nothing really good happening to us lately...
Can't come up with a practice session with the regular soft pillow kisses members because each one has been either quite busy or really unavailable or just simply not in the proper frame of mind... in fact, i can't even organize a proper practice session with candyaudioline!!!
Charles just suffered a terrible loss of a loved one although he did tell me that he
'll be avaible very soon and he miss jamming and being with the rest of us... Jann Paul also isn't available. specially now that he has been moved to 4pm to 1am shift... although we did get to see each other last Monday as he went to our office and paid me a visit... he told me that he'll be available for practice during Sundays and Mondays... Rene on the otherhand isn't his usual indiepop personna lately... maybe it's the time of the year where a person becomes a totally different individual, sort of a temporary phase wherein he'd be totally out of sinc with the rest of us... hope that it is only temporary... Marian too is like out of it for a while... i can't seem to get in touch with her... i've been calling her for the past couple of days but she hasn't been returning my calls...
talk about though... well, i'm trying my best to understand the situation... i'm being patient for the time being... hope things change for the better in the days to come... i miss this band... i miss my bandmates so much...

Trying To Smile...
there are times when life can be all summer and spring...
full of happiness and promise...
like a perpetual glide in a sky dressed in technicolor playfullness...
then all of sudden, without warning, you fall...
a fall so devastating, you suddenly find yourself scattered in several billions of pieces scattered a few million light years a part...
but "life goes on anyway"...
Charles and Anne had recently lost their lovely baby Charlene... seeing her yesterday and just a while back at her wake got me thinking really hard... raising questions about life...
Fate and Faith... How and Why... Why, Why and WHY...
As we left Charles and Anne a while back, i can't help but feel sorry and sad for them for i can really feel the sadness and grief behind their smiles...

Sayang Biitin...
Hello Peeps,
We played at Route196 last night and inspite of really having a great time performing we really didn't get to enjoy much it because we were allowed only 4 songs...
just as when we were getting ready to let loose...
it was suppose to be hell that night due to Charles backing out at the last minute due to personal matters and Dennis' (Candyaudioline) uncertainty of filling in for Charles coz he had a gig with Tether (Dennis' mother band and one of the coolest bands around) somewhere near by... I was really relieved when he told me that Tether were to perform early and that he'll have ample time of catching up with us... Me, Kel and Rene had an impromtu last minute practice session chosing songs to play incase we won't have anyone doing lead...
it was really close considering that Dennis arrived just in time as the band (Ang bannday Shirley) before us was almost done with their last song... Also, i regret not playing "Undercover Angel" that time although we did play an alternate (Disco) take of "Just Like The Sky"...
Maybe next time, we'll get to play longer and earlier so that more people will get to see us and hopefully would come to terms with the fact that __________________

Soft Pillow Kisses @ Route 196
October 30, 2007, Tuesday, will be Day 21 of the 60-day ‘March for Land’ to Manila of 54 Sumilao farmers from Bukidnon. They began the grueling journey on foot from Mindanao last October 10, 2007—10 years since 15 of them came here for a hunger strike to regain their 144-hectare ancestral land.
Meanwhile, Manila’s respected musicians will show the farmers early support with a benefit gig on October 30, 9 PM at Route 196 (formerly Inihaw Republic) on 196 Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City. The event will feature performances by long-time advocates Chickoy Pura and Bayang Barrios, and rising indie bands, Purple Chickens, Ang Bandang Shirley, and Soft Pillow Kisses. Produced by Last Song Syndrome and SALIGAN (Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligal), an alternative legal resource center to local communities, women, the urban poor, peasant and labor sectors, proceeds will go to the ongoing fundraising initiative of Task Force Sumilao, an advocacy network of sectoral, civil society, church and student organizations.
The Sumilao farmers are expected to arrive in Manila by December 10 with the same unfulfilled demand. With their recurrent plea for land ownership to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is an appeal for the passage of HB 1257, a bill to extend and reform the current Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). Throughout the trek they have been joined by other farmers, and welcomed by locals and motorists in the provinces.

Rare Occasion...
Hello everyone...
Last night, Soft Pillow Kisses played Buzz Night as a complete unit once more... it was really great seeing all my band mates together at the same place at the same time... Last time we were all together was like 2 months ago at a gig somewhere at The Fort...
i can truly say that last night's gig was one of the best we had this year because inspite not seeing each other eye to eye and not being able to jam for the last 2 months, we were still able to dish out a very decent performance... we even played a song that we haven't been playing for a long time now "Under-Cover Angel"...
Here's a run through of the songs we did last night and some comments:
Just Like The Sky - we usually play this one before the last song but since we were all nervous, we decided that this was the most comfortable opening song for us... Charles play one wrong note during the start of the instrumental part...
Stolen Flowers - this is usually our favorite opener but we sort of forgot... i made a big booboo during the last stanza which made me laugh-out-loud in the middle of the song causing Marian to fumble a bit and in the process give me a roundhouse left hook to the arm... boy that was really funny. too bad Dennis wasn't filming the song during that moment...
Your Shoes Are Untied - last night, this song was really perfect...
Under-Cover Angel - Evertyone didn't want to play this one last night but i bullied them to do so... Jann Paul was really having a hard time during this one but it still turn out well... i'll post the video soon... Charles played a wrong note near the ending...
Stay Here For A While - My favourite song of the night... someone requested this during Candyaudioline's set... Funny don't you think?
It Will Never last (Forever) - This was marian's request, me and Rene wanted to do something upbeat like "16Ft." or "I Was Right" but Jann Paul was obviously tired... marian sang very well on this one and i saw someone from the crowd smiling...
Bathing In The Sun - Our favorite closing song... and it was the best song to end the night... Unforgettable - for me at least...
We have another gig next week, on the 30th. it's a Tuesday and it's at Route196... see you soon!!!

Looking Forward Turning Backwards...
Hello Everybody...
Excited na ako bumalik sa Pilipinas... Kahit anong ganda ng mga lugar dito sa U.S. eh wala pa ring tatalo sa dating ng sarili nating country...
Doon, labas ka lang ng bahay mo eh sari-saring lugar ang makaka-inan mo... dito, paglabas mo sa hotel eh puro malalawak na kalsada at malamig na simoy ng hangin ang sasalubong sa iyo... pag wala ka pang sasakyan ay bubusugin mo nalang ang sarili mo sa kakalanghap ng hangin... kaya tuloy ngayon, tabang-hangin na ako...
di pwede yung kabanda kong si Dennis (Candyaudioline) dito... Sobrang bihira ang kanin (rice)... Kundi pa kami nakikain sa isang Pinoy na pamilya na umasikaso sa amin dito eh talagang mapupurga na kami sa tinapay at burger... Kung may kanin man eh di naman masarap ang preparation, maliban lang sa rice ng Pollp Loco, hehehe...
Kapag mag-shopping ka naman eh sobrang malulula ka sa sobrang dami ng choices... mauubos lang ang oras mo sa kakapili... ako nga wala gaanong nabili para sa akin at sa mga mahal ko sa buhay... hayaan nyo mga friendships, pag mag kita tayo eh bahala na kung saan tayo dalhin ng mga paa natin... as in may pera naman ako noh!!! pero okey lang...
kapansin-pansin din ang naglalakihang dibdib ng mga babae dito... por dyos por santo naman, kahit na pinay eh gifted dito... yung nga lang minsan sobra din sa ka-ekekkan sa katawan ang sasarap tuloy pag-sisipain... Joke lang, love your own ikah nga duh bah!!! (Baklang-Bakla yata yun ah)...
Cge ne... Bye bye... i'm so glad na tapos na yung work namin dito... i did get to meet a lot of really cool people, and did went to really great places but nothing beats the feel of being home...
Oi... Marian!!! Gig tayo sa Sabado, hanap ka na... wala nang practice practice!!! Dyan na cguro ako sa Pinas ng mga Friday evening...
Charles!!! nasa OnL ka pa rin ba? May naging kakilala ako dito sa L.A. na mahilig sa New Wave na parang ikaw... Alam mo na yun... Di ba Dennis?
Rene!!! Tahimik mo naman!!!
Jann Paul... Try ko mahanap yung mga sticks na binili ko para sa iyo...

The USA...
hello everyone...
haven't really had the chance to post but when i get to do so, i've lot of things to to tell... i'm just letting time fly by while giving patty (an old friend from the Philippines who've i met up with about 4 hours ago) sometime to take a nap... i'll be waking her up in an hours time so that she'll be able to get home safely... d ko naman kabisado itong lugar na ito kaya d ko sya maihatis sa dorm nya. at the same time, mahal ang taxi dito...
hehehe... buti nalang nagkita kami ni patty dto sa san fransisco... grabe, tawa lang kami ng tawa dto, lalu na nang lapitan kami ng isang ex-stock market broker from cananda na mukang napaka-talino pero may konting sayad... the told us that he had a dream and in that dream... hayaan na natin yun... nasobrahan lang cguro yung canadian dude kaya para tuloy may sayad ang dating nya
I was feeling a bit depressed a while ago but seeing her really cheered me up...
I miss all by bandmates and my bands too... pag balik ko, gig sana tayo ng marami...

the mag:net jinx
ang saya ng God Knows Hudas not Pay the anniversary kahit may mga annoying changes sa band line-up, kesyo late ang bandang ganyan so mammove lahat, etc. nung set na namin, konti nalang ng tao kasi umaga na tapos last band kami, kahit gusto magstay ng mga tao, hindi na puwede kasi alas-dos na 'ata 'non. twice na yan sa mag:net. jinx. shit happens. pero all in all, it was a successful night. congrats sa Ang Bandang Shirley dahil ang daming pumunta, nakakagulat yung (star-studded haha) attendance kahit galing lang sa baha at bagyo yung Metro Manila.
Bagong bili yung camera ko kaya nabinyagan siya that night! Some photos taken by Ping:
more photos here!
Sobrang weird nakalimutan ko yung tamang pasok sa Stolen Flowers nung set na yun! Stolen Flowers pa! Eh kasali yun sa all-time favorite Pillow songs ko. Kagulo, eh hindi naman ako uminom dahil 60pesos ang beer sa Mag:net. Mahal! Tumatanda na 'ata ako ah.

Late Post: Soft Pillow Kisses @ Magnet (The Fort)
Hello everyone...
i've been very busy the past few days... work related nga eh... and at last, all systems go na for me to go to the US...
Last week, we played at Magnet (The Fort)... we were really happy that night kasi complete kami... Me, Marian, Charles, Rene and Jann Paul... we didshed out six songs that night and kahit na kami yung pinaka-last na band at halos mesa't unpuan nalang ang mga nasa harapan namin, we still had a truly enjoyable set... Sadly, baka yun na muna ang last gig na kumpleto kami because Charles will be busy again... I on the otherhand will be US-bound for a month, Jann Paul, i think, will still be doing night shifts while Rene on the other hand, well i don't know yet as to what's eating up his time lately...
one memorable part of that Magnet gig was during the song "Stolen Flowers"... Marian made a mistake with the lyrics which really caught us all by surprise and eventually shortening the song... I have it on video, just can't find the right time to post it... maybe soon...
i've been very busy the past few days... work related nga eh... and at last, all systems go na for me to go to the US...
Last week, we played at Magnet (The Fort)... we were really happy that night kasi complete kami...

God Knows Hudas Not Pay the anniversary special
Ipinatigil na ng Catholic Church ang pagdarasal para sa ulan. Kasi ngayon, answered prayer na siya. Super answered prayer!!! Waaah itigil niyo na kasi basa na lahat ng flats at bootch ko! Tapos hindi ko mabilad sa araw kasi walang araw. Tapos kailangan pa namin mag-cancel ng gig sa Saguijo last Wednesday (sorry Christian Bautista!) dahil bumabaha sa Buendia. Ang tagal na tuloy tigang ng Soft Pillow Kisses!
Pero tomorrow, we are tigang no more because we have a gig yeheeey.
Taken By Cars
Plane Divides The Sky
Cambio
Giniling Festival
Spazzkid (formerly Cocolulu)
Ang Bandang Shirley
Ciudad
and Soft Pillow Kisses
P150 and love is all you need! Kitakits sa Mag:net Fort! We heart you!
Congratulations Papa Chals!!!

Soft Pillow Kisses Update...
Hello Everyone...
Ginagawa ko ito sa Candyaudioline Blog paminsan-minsan at first time ko lang gagawin ko ito sa Soft Pillow Kisses... So Here it goes...
Marian (Taken from her post) - Updates lang: Makati office girl na ko. Himala, nag-settle din ako after months of searching for the perfect job. Natagpuan ko na 'ata yehey :) Walang dress code, flexi ang schedule, Internet the whole day, may headphones provided para makinig ka sa mp3s/CDs mo, walking distance sa Greenbelt 1, may mobile allowance, walang time in/time out ang breaks, at hindi nakaka-bato kasi ginagawa ko yung gusto ko. Panalo! (That's very nice to hear/read)
Charles - tatay na sya since last Thursday pa yata... at the same time, problemado din sya syempre sa mga expenses nya... yung isang banda nya ay d pa yata bumabalik galing US kaya hayun, wala pa syang kita... pero ayun sa mga relaible sources, madalas daw galit itong si Charles... nung huyling magkasama kami nyan sa isangf gig ng Candyaudioline sa Sharkeys nung Aug. 11, ramdam na ramdam namin ang galiut ni Charles, pati nga ako at si Rene ay nagalit din samantalang si Dennis yata mas naguton eh pero may galit pa rin...
Rene - Study Hard naman ang tema ng buhay ni Rene ngayon... maluwang ang scheds nya from Sunday to Wednesday pero pag Thursday until Saturday nag mimistulang laman ng Ospital ang butuhing nilalang na ito... Abala rin sa sa pag-sa-soundtrip sa kanyang kaisa-isang prized possession... ang kanyang PSP kung saan doon sya nag-lalaro ng mga games, nakikinig ng music ant nanunuod ng kung anu-anong videos... Huling magkasama kami ang medyo lumiit na ang pimple nya sa right cheek nya...
Jann Paul - hay naku... yah ang pinaka-misteryosong myembro ng aming banda... mahirap silipin ang mga pinag-gagawa nyan sa araw-araw... ang alam naming lahat eh busy sa work yan tapos night shift pa sya kaya hindi mo na makikita yan na nakatambay sa isang waiting shed sa tapat ng Housing sa may Quezon Memorial Circle pag gabi...
Me - may mga pi-nost na ako sa Candyaudioline na Blog about what I've been up to lately pero I'll add some more... i'm trying very hard to lose weight in preparation for my going to the US... also i've been very frustrated at trying to get myself a new but cheap handycam... Badtrip kasi yung nabili namin sa Hong-Kong eh... also i'm trying to cope with a certain ache that occasionally pops up somewhere near the heels region of my foot... i've been experiencing this for more that a week now...
There you have it... as if you care di ba... but for those whose a bit interested at what's going on with lately, this posts is for you... Hopefully we could get a gig before i leave for the US or if not, at least get to have a practice session and record some of it on video and post it somewhere like youtube or multiply so that we'll have something to share...
That's that for now... see you soon...

wet look
LAKAS ng ulan!!! Kanina naglalakad ako papuntang Greenbelt 1 galing office nang biglang BUMUHOS yung ulan with matching intense winds from everywhere and anywhere. Ayun, dahil allergic ako magdala ng payong (kailangan sapilitan at matagal na pangungulit bago ako pumayag magdala), kinailangan ako sunduin ng nanay ko na adik naman sa payong. Note: walking distance lang ofc niya sa ofc ko. Tumawid lang kami sa kabilang kalye with her big blue umbrella, nalunod na yung kung-fu shoes ko (buti nalang maong), nabasa yung LOOB ng bag ko at nauso na ang wet look in a matter of seconds. Amazing.
Updates lang: Makati office girl na ko. Himala, nag-settle din ako after months of searching for the perfect job. Natagpuan ko na 'ata yehey :) Walang dress code, flexi ang schedule, Internet the whole day, may headphones provided para makinig ka sa mp3s/CDs mo, walking distance sa Greenbelt 1, may mobile allowance, walang time in/time out ang breaks, at hindi nakaka-bato kasi ginagawa ko yung gusto ko. Panalo!
Si Allan nakabalik na from watching The Cure in Hong Kong kaya puwede na ulit kami mag-gigs! August na at sana malapit na matapos ang night shift phase ni Janpol so we can have him back in the ball game!

Hong Kong Garden...
Hello Everyone...
The Cure Live in Hong Kong... Free trip to Hong Kong... Eagerly anticipated vacation for me with plans of doing and buying stuff which which i never had a chance to do during my 1st time there...
Now I'm home, disappointed at the concert and disappointed at the whole excursion... At The Cure concert, i got annoyed at a lot of things most specially at the bassist of the band... Alaso we got ripped off while buying a camera... to anyone going there, please avoid those shops especially the SONY shops in Nathan Road...
That's that for the meantime...

Sharkeys Gig... Sisig On Da Side...
Hello Everyone...
The Sharkeys outing was kinda special for us because it was the first time that Charles was able to join us again since he got abducted by the dudes from the Planet OnL... I was really looking forward to seeing Charles again because of reports going around that he had already shed his indie-con-emo looks for the more sophisticated brit-pinoy look... Thank God he didn't... all though there was something different about the hair, masyadong straight... "nagpa-relax" cguro... with all the money he's getting from those at-the-last-minute-cancelled gigs for the month of July, it was inevitable that he was going to do something about his hair... hmmm, HAIR... i used to have that during the early 90's... life is realy cruel... it has always been happening to me eversince... just when you need things, they suddenly disappear...
i remember when i was young, we were very rich... we had all the luxuries money could buy but i wasn't interested then... all that was running through my head way back then was playing basketball, trying see what my pokpok neighbor was wearing underneathe her skirt during bingo sessions, trying to catch monster insects like salagubangs, dragonflies and grasshoppers during rainy days... i remember at one point, i was able to catch a grasshopper that was about 6 inches long... whatelse? ah i was also trying to get the attention of a girl named Gemma... Oh Gemma... i was 14 then and i think she was 15, she was really pretty and taller than me... i was about 5'5" during those days, she was like 5'7"... She even became a schoolmate when i was in 3rd year high school and we were even members of a science club during 4th year... i met her at a basketball tournament... she was the muse of a rival team... the very first time i laid my eye on her, i was instantly hooked... three years went by without nothing happening between us... there were countless time we i tailed her on her way home... there was even 2 or 3 instances the we walked almost side by side about a road's-width apart on our way home... i never had the guts to talk to her... only twice i guess... hmmm, this is really degrading... i have to stop there...
basta malupit talaga ang buhay, they're always there when you don't need them but when you need them, they're gone... Gets nyo na cguro yun?... Okey Okey... i'm talking about hair... Malaking bagay sa Shoegazing ang hair... "it brings out the best in you"... Also money... i'm going to Hong Kong to see The Cure... i've no money... Paano ko mabibili ang mga gusto kong bilhin... No matter how i try to save, i often time end up short when the need arises... Maybe i'm cursed...
... going back to the sharkeys gig... the sisig there is really great... soft and crunchy!!! 2 table spoonful is enough for a cup of rice... i wish we could've played earlier... we played last... i pity the people who weren't able to see us play... i think pinoys are ready for the type of music that we play... they deserve the best... i was able to catch some bands play and i feel sorry for some them... they're admittedly skillful but they're songs are really CRAP... i kinda like bits and pieces of the band that played before us (Aroma) specially the last two songs... i little bit more into that direction and they'll get my outmost respect... add a bit more "uncomromising attitude" to top it all... sometimes i wish the there would come a storm just like the one during the a biblical event wherein the building of a certain tower that was suppose to reach the heavens was abandoned because peaple started to talk in diffferent languages making it very impossible for everyone to understand one another... a storm that would affect a musician or songster's approach in creating music... dream on... dream on...

First Pillowaudioline Gig...
Hello Everyone...
Last July 17's gig wasn't that bad... The short practice before the gig was quite helpful i suppose... Kel steadily played the drums... Dennis held his own as our main axeman.... Rene as usual had lapses but was really up to it... on the other hand, it think me and Marain fell short that night... i guess i was singing like crap last night and so was marian... unlike in practice where everything was really smooth and almost perfect...
Me and Rene shared thoughts after the gig and he was quite concerned with Marian's singing... well, i too was a bit troubled last night... but i had reasons to believe that there were some factors contributing to our crappy singing... on my part, my guitar was sounding like Satan singing and i was too annoyed to focus on my singing... (during Candaydioline's set i made sure that my amp was sounding the way i want it to sound and as a result, i was very well focused on my singing) also i was so annoyed by the low register feedback i keep hearing every once in a while... i can apply the same factors to Marian's but i guess there's some more... i often notice that when she gets pumped up, she becomes let conscious about the way she sings... maybe when we get to practice sometime soon, i'll try to focus more on her... make her sing more relaxed... more twee so to speak...
i'm sleepy... that's all for now...
By the way... Buzz Night is Just a week away... Soft Pillow Kisses, Aurora Borealis, Lila, Isolation Ward, Candyadioline and Mizwa will be seeing action next week, July 26 for Buzz Night at Mayrics...
... i'm really having a hard time falling asleep at the proper time... maybe i should try taking sleeping pills...

Lasts Wednesday's Rehearsal...
Hello Everyone...
First of all, i would just like to express my disgust at the cancellation of our Wednesday gig at Ateneo due to an alledged incoming typhoon... Where's that damn storm? A wasted opportunity indeed...
Well, the day wasn't all wasted because we made use of it to practice in preparation for the coming gigs in which two of our "good looking" (Sirs Charles and Jann Paul) pillowmates would be missing... I've commissioned both Kel and Dennis (Candyaudioline) to fill-in for both absentees... i was expecting a smooth, flawless jamming session with both Dennis and Kel but i was wrong... it was much difficult with the two especially with Kel... Jann Paul's skill, although not up to par with Kel's was sorely missed... JP's lack in agility is in fact a blessing of sorts because what he is capable of doing turns out to be just enough for each song and its elements to blend properly... I remember the last time when we practiced as a complete unit, each song was really a joy to execute... even the new song "The Louder You'll Know", inspite of it being a bit "confusing", JP's consistency with the patterns in terms of speed and dynamics, still made the song sound so "handsomely swell"...
I guess i just have to do with this for the meantime and hope that Kel would soon be able to adjust to this band's standards and would come to realise that unlike Candyaudioline which is a band who's songs are designed to wreck havoc via sheer agressive restraint, Soft Pillow Kisses is just content to walk leisurely like a well fed cat into the hearts of anyone who cares to give a fuck...

And now, the Bad News... Mukang Cancelled yung gig namin bukas sa Ateneo... The guy from HitFM just gave me a call informing me that the school may not push through with the gig tomorrow due to an incoming typhoon pegged to hit land tomorrow...
Hay buhay nga naman... pag malas, malas talaga... (",)

Buzz Night July 26, 2007 (Thursday)
Hello Everyone...
This July's Buzz Night will be on the 26th... It was supposed to be on the 12th but had to move it due to "circumstances beyond my control"... In other words, hindi ko kasi maasikaso... medyo busy ako and i've been a bit "Under The Weather"... Mayrics pa rin as usual...
As i have said in a previous post, i've moved it to a Thursday for the mean time instead of the regular Saturdays in order for me to have a much higher chance at making it to the gig... hehehe, Selfish ko noh? I'll try to post a line-up by next week...
Yun lang muna...

I Don't Know What To Say...
Hello Everyone...
Yes!!! I did happened...
And it happened, i was right...
Well, we had our first gig without Sir Charles last Wednesday at Freedom Bar... it was a nice one actually but it could've been much better if charles was around...
I just can't help thinking... Why why and why... Bet you have no idea as to what this "why why why" shit is all about... i won't dwell on this today... maybe in future posts when i feel like i'm happy once more...
Speaking of happy... Just finished watching the movie "Magnolia"... Now i feel sick... It's one of the best movies i ever had a chance to watch and i really get blown away everytime i watch it...
now what does this have to do with Soft Pillow Kisses?
That'll be that for now...

From Bad To Worst...
Helo Everyone...
Soft Pillow Kisses situation has gone from bad to worst in less than 2 posts... There's a possibility of a permanent residency for Charles in ___________ . I honestly can't do anything about it... it's now a situation wherein "letting things be" is the best possible way to handle this situation...
i still have my options though but it is more comfortable if it was Charles himself... We had been band mates since the last great line-up change of this band and with the possibility of him being "constantly" unavailable or should i say "hanging" in his commitment to us is not a very nice thing...
Here are my options: First one is to keep Charles as the guitarist then look for a sessionist which i currently have in Dennis (Candyaudioline)... Another is to get Kelvin (Aspirin) and make him a permanent member but with Charles still the priority guitarist... The third option is to look for a new guitarist... I'm opting for the first...
I've spoken with Charles a last night and he assured me that he don't want to be out of Soft Pillow Kisses... Neither do I... So maybe we'll just have to let things be for the meantime... I'll just have to be reminded that Charles isn't ours exclusively anymore tha what hurts most is that we will just have to step back (always) even at the last minute when he is called to duty...
Even just now I'm beginning to feel sour at the situation but i guess what's important is the friendship more than anything else... He really needs this gig i guess, so i'll give it to him... i hope that someday i'll get mine... and i want to achieve this gig with the people i like the most...

I'll just have to be reminded that Charles isn't ours exclusively anymore tha what hurts most is that we will just have to step back (always) even at the last minute when he is called to duty...
Even just now I'm beginning to feel sour at the situation but i guess what's important is the friendship more than anything else... He really needs this gig i guess, so i'll give it to him... i hope that someday i'll get mine... and i want to achieve this gig with the people i like the most...

Things Ain't Looking Bright It Seems... But...
Hello hello...
The title says it all... Just refer to Rene's post...
Charles might session for OnL for 6 months... Worse, what if he gets the hang of it... he might leave this band for good... that's a possibility ain't it... Now that'll be really sad... Janpol on the otherhand will work at night shifts for the whole month of July... I guess i have to resort to letting Kel and Dennis of Candyaudioline to session for Soft Pillow Kisses for a while...
Marian too wasn't able to make it to practice coz she was down with flu...
But we did made good use of the session... we were able to work out a "final" arrangement to a new song that i had written more than 2 months ago... The song's tentatively called "The Louder You'll Know"... (Lyrics were posted here more that 2 months ago it think)... i guess with a few more pratice sessions it will be able to stand out on its own... the version's still a little bit shaky for now bit i guess it will have to do for the mean time... i uploaded the practice session at
www.myspace.com/softpillowkisses...
that's that for now...

Practice Tonight
Hello Everyone,
Practice kami ng Soft Pillow Kisses mamayang gabi... Sana matuloy na rin na kumpleto kami... Matagal-tagal na rin na di kami nagkakasama ng eh...
Sana tuloy din yung gig sa Wednesday sa Freedom Bar na walang hassel... Excited na rin ako para doon...
Yun nga lang, medyo nasira nga lang ng konti yung aking excitement nung mag text si Charles kagabi about him sessioning for a popular mainstream band - who's new single i happen to like these days - today on TV. Sa ASAP pa... eh baduy na baduy kaya ako sa letcheng TV show na yan...
hay naku!!! just as when i thought that we've been over that, eto nanaman cya... I guess ganyan lang talaga ang path na binabagtas ng mga endeavors ko... very erratic...
at times it seems that for a moment, the boat is sailing a very calm lake when all of a sudden, an ORANGE meteor comes falling from the smiling bright yellow sky above, hitting the lake just behind my blind view... resulting in LEMON ripples so ugly that it makes me want to turn into a bright red Hulk with hair of a SUPER SAIYAN 3 enveloped in SPAWN's armour carrying with me VOLTES V's lazer sword in my right-HELL BOY-like hand WHILST my left hand holds a blazing pink HELLO KITTY umbrella just enough to add sincerety and meaning to my intention of...
just simply... oh well...
... a line from a The Cars song is playing in my head right now... "Can't Go on, thinking, nothing's wrong..." i think that one's from "Drive"...
yes, it is really driving me crazy... i think i'm going to watch CHASING AMY again and try dozing-off in the middle of the part wherein Silent Bob starts talking...
that's all for now...

Soft Pillow Kisses @ Freedom Bar Next Week?
This looks like Dennis of Candyaudioline angry again as to why there's no rice and why isn't Soft Pillow Kisses playing live anywhere...hello peeps...
i think we should play again sometime in the very near future...
i agree with you rene... miss ko na rin tumugtog as soft pillow kisses... the last time we played together as a complete unit was a very long time ago nung mga bata pa tayo...
i asked ms. clara of freedom bar if soft pillow kisses could play there next week and she said yes... hopefully, if everything goes well, we'll be able to play again once more...
practice tayo this sunday and hopefully i'd be able to free myself from any commitments come June 27...
that's that...

Practice Tonight... Hopefully
Hello Peeps...
We at Soft Pillow Kisses haven't seen each other for quite sometime now... the last time we played a gig was almost three weeks ago and that one had no Marian in it...
Actually, only me and Rene have been seeing each other lately because i had designated him as a session bassist for candaydioline...
going bact to the ban... we haven't been very active lately. with Marian always "out of reach", Charles settling down. Janpol busy with work, Rene going back to school and my work-sched picking up...
Honestly, i am beginning to become a bit paranoid... scared at the idea that i'll be having a hard time put us up for gigs due to our schedules being erratic and all...
This is why i've decided to call a practice session tonight just to put thing in the right order and hopefully keep the ball rolling once more... it doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be gigging every now and then. i just want to keep the bonding alive so to speak...
sadly, no one replied to my text message last night and that really frustrates me... but i'm still hoping that we'll be able to see eah other tonight, get to practice properly and hopefully move on and establish more ground as to our being, you know... Great!!! hehehe...
but what if, at the last moment, the practice won't push through or someone won't be able show up... Now that'll be truly frustrating...

Questions And Answers...
hello everyone...
don't have to post anything about buzz night coz i already did that sa blog ng Candyaudioline...
these are some questions going thru my head at the moment...
Bakit ang init?
Kasi Summer pa rin, malapit tayo sa equator... maliban dun, gawa na rin ng mga tao yan kung bakit nagkakanda letse-letse na ang climate ng mundong ito...
Bakit may mga mayayabang na Pilipino?
Kasi, sadyang ganyan ang mga Pinoy... Karamihan, kulang sa pansin at maka-ipon lang ng kahit konting kapangyarihan eh saksakan ng abusado na... D naman lahat pero marami pa rin... Oo nga pala, cguro, let's blame one of our Colonizers (mga Kastila) for this...
Bakit ang daming tanga?
Malnutrition cguro, o di kaya dahil sa kakulangan sa Edukasyon... Psychological and Sociological reasons maybe? Marami ring kasing mga mahilig manamantala ng kapwa kaya tuloy kahit hindi naman tanga eh napagmumuka pa ring tanga... pwede ring trauma lang... Impluensya ng Tri-Media lalu na telebisyon... Subukan mong, alisin ang cable nyo sa bahay at mag chanel surf ka lang. pihado bababa ang IQ mo ng 72.75%...
Bakit ang daming alaskador at malalakas mang-asar?
Una-unahan lang yan... Pero seriously, it's an important part of life, promise... okey lang yan basta hindi foul...
Bakit bumaba ang value ng dollar?
Ngayon pa!!! kung kailan ang dami kong Dollars... Sa totoo lang kahit Commerce graduate ako, d ko alam...
Bakit ang dami nang Bakla?
Mabuti na yun, kaysa marami dyang bruskong brusko na nagsisiga-sigaan ang sasarap pag-sasapakin... lalu na yung sa Kabab kahapon... ang papangit!!!
Bakit ang sarap kumain?
Depende sa kakainin... Ano kaya ulam ng kapit-bahay namin ngayon? Mmmmm... ang bango-bango. nagugutom tuloy ako...
Bakit ang pangit na ng Quezon City?
Kasalanan naman ng mga botante yan eh... Kahit saang lugar dito sa Pilipinas, yang mga botante pa rin ang dapat sisishin... Yang mga bintang ng dayaan, d totoo yan... Binoboto talaga sila ng mga taong na-uuto nila...
Bakit ba na-a-associate ang The Cure at Block Party sa Emo?
Kasi... at dahil sa... dapat sisihin dyan ang... palibhasa puro sila...
... eto na lang muna... ang dami pa sana pero mulang, tinotopak nanaman iton PC ko... pero bago mag log-out, ipo-post ko muna ang pinaka-malupit na tanong na itinanong sa akin nga isa kong kakilala na hindi ko na papangalanan... here it goes...

Metrobar... Sayang Wala Si Marian...
hello everyone...
blame it on the rain... hay naku!!! yang ulan talaga...
we were one of the bands included in the Backbeat Summer Fest last night at Metrobar, somewhere in west ave... On and off kami the whole day whether to push thru with playing dahil alanganin si Charles...
anyways, happy naman ako kasi kahit paano, kitang kita ko ang pagpapahalaga ng mga bandmates ko sa isa't-isa... healthy indeed, kahit na sari-saring dilemnas yung nakakasagupa namin every now and then...
yun lang, d umabot si Marian kahapon dahil sa ulan... i did the singing... good thing nalang na ang ganda talaga ng gamit sa venue na yun at nakaraos din kami somehow... as usual, polite yung mga tao at kahit hindi nila alam o naiintindihan yung tugtugan namin, clap hands pa rin...
okey lang kasi kahit paano there are somepeople out there who we were able to connect with, foreigner nga lang yung ilan...
kailan kaya aangat ang taste ng mga pinoy sa music... not all things catchy are really catchy... hanap ng pinoy crowd and isang performer/banda na talaga nga namang nag-peperform... cguro maling venue lang talaga yun for a band like us pero you can't blame me for trying to bring our music to people who definitely has no idea as to what we're doing... exposure ika nga... nakakapagod din pero i really feel that it has to be done somehow...
oh well, looking forward for this Saturday's Buzz Night... by the way, Marian will not be singing for us this Saturday... Jinky, one of our former singer and currently "substitute singer" will be doing vocal chores this weekend...
Buzz Night tayo this Saturday ha!!!

Bonggang Practice Session... Vocalist Overload!!!
Hello Hello...
Ang crazy ng practice namin ng Pillow nung Monday... Isipin mo, kaya kami nag-practice is because we wanted to prepare for this Saturdays Buzz Night...
I sent out messages to my bandmates (both Pillow and Candy) last Saturday that Buzz Night will be on the 2nd of June. This week na cya actually... Marian replied a day later saying that she wont be able to join us on Buzz Night...
i cunsulted with charles para makahanap kami ng kakanta kasi i don't like doing it myself anymore... charles suggested tha we let Louie (One time Pillow Singer circa 2003-2004) we later learned that she too won't be available on the 2nd of june... Jinky (another Pillow Vox circa October 2006 - January 2007) was a personal choice of mine because i had an agreement with her that she is our official fall back girl whenever our vocalist won't be available for a gig... i rang up Jinky and she readily agreed to sing on Saturday... didn't had a chance to inform both Janpol and Rene about the changes...
practice time came... i was the first one to arrive around 10pm followed Janpol 5 minutes later... Jinky followed 10 minutes later to Janpol's surprise... at about that time, Charles and Rene arrived tagging along was Louie... Jinky was a bit intimidated upon seeing louie but i assuder her that Louie was there only as Charles' visitor... Going up to the studio, i can't help thinking that what a sight it would be if Marian was also there...
so we started practice. halfway thru the 2nd song, Marian texted, asking me if i did push thru with the rehearsals. i said yes... just barely three minutes after her text, she was there... it was really funny because i was now confused as to how the practice should go... i gave my mic to Marian and there we were, playing pillow songs with two girls singing... going into the 5th song "16ft" Jinky passed the mic to Louie... it was quite fun at first but upon hearing both Louie ang Marian singing together with their voices a bit out of "touch" from one another, i decided to add one more mic for myself... order was restored and practice went on smoothly...
Comparing the three... Jinky's voice was really great!!! (Ahem ahem... ako nag turo dyan), Marian was a bit off specially during the first three song she did but she was able to catch on in no time... bagay sa kanya yung "Harsh Words"... As for Louie, medyo iba na yung orientation nya... pang singer na ikah nga...
sayang we had to end averything at around 1:30am kasi may work pa lahat... i would like to do this again if i have a chance... next time around, may purpose na... Thanks Jinky and Louie for being there... Hoy Jinky!!! walang atrasan... maliban nalang pag pwede si Marian sa Sabado...
yun lang mga Folks... Bye Bye!!!

Saw This One... Somewhere...
Hello Everyone....
I saw this at someone's multiply site... (BADDER Than BAD)... It's from a review of the apo tribute album... actually, it's the author's suggestion of sorts...
Just read on...
... Like I said, there's something for everyone. Even the lemons. Of course, as far as Kami nAPO Muna is concerned, if a tribute album gives you lemons, then order Iced Tea. A worthy tribute album definitely worth its weight. A good buy!
Sidebar: I've read varying reviews for Kami nAPO Muna,including interesting word-of-mouth observations from friends,colleagues and acquaintances, some raving, others ranting, but alwaysnoteworthy; mostly bordering on the why wasn't so-and-so band orsuch-and-such group included in the compilation with matching whining..well, since I've been doing some whining of my own, may as well addmore whining to it.. like, if I had some say in who was to be includedon the album, or what Apo songs I would've included, they would be.. aReggae version of Salawikain by Tropical Depression,complete with kulintangs and gongs and shit, which would go so wellwith the medley of traditional Pinoy tunes in the song.. or how about aswingin' Jazzy version of Syotang Pa-Class by the Brass Munkeys? Huh? Sounds good, huh?? Or a Brian Cua-remixed Ttriphop take of Show Me A Smile by Ascolto.. what about a buzzsaw Punk version of American Junk done by uhm.. err.. Betrayed.. hehe..?Or a a groundbreaking Indie Pop version of Softly by Soft Pillow Kisses.. okay, that's enough.

All Apolgies
This picture was taken by dennis (Candyaudioline) at Filling Station in Makati after a gig at Kolumn Bar, Timog last Tuesday, May 15... Rene was out, Dennis played bass for us...
hello everyone...
i would like to thank and at the same time apologize to all you guys (ladies included) who have messaged me regarding "Just Like The Sky"... It's definitely coming out in the next few months with God's help and blessing...
i'm just to busy with a lot of things lately and also, my finances are a wee bit short as of the moment... also, i'm am just making sure that all the final details are well in place... i don't want to put out an album that i'll/we'll someday come to regret... there's a lot of pressure to put up something that would not let people - who believe in us, down...
to Charles: congrats pare... i wish you and anne all the happiness in the world... sana d na tayo mabawasan, ang saya saya na kasi eh...

Gigs Galore...
hello everyone...
there have been many gig offers for Soft Pillow Kisses during the past months now... sadly, our scheds would not allow us to accept all offers...
last night we played at an art exhibit somewhere in Cubao... an enjoyable one inspite of the bad sound system and the delay caused by miscommunication between me and the person who invited us to play resulting in 2 acts eating up our spot... thanks to dennis for filling in for rene's shoes...
tonight we'll be playing at Kolumn Bar in Timog... hope to see you all there... as if...

Balik Bayan...
hello everyone...
now i know what it feels like to kill yourself working hard in some foreign land and hoping to return to the place of your roots coz you feel that there's no place like home... but once you're back, you begin to realise that you should've stayed where you are so that you're far from the dilemnas that accompany you home...
i agree with marian (cge, may chocolates ako for you)... but still, everything's still uncertain... so why worry... so be it...
we might play tomorrow at marikina shoe expo... see you there...
would.ve like to share some more but i am feeling very sleepy right this very moment... so gotta say goodbye and leave you with some lines to sink your teeth into...
"the future is but a thought and will alway remain that way until the present swollows up the space it occupies in someone's life"
Fuck the future... today's is where it's really at...

memoirs of Buzz Night
The Buzz Night was highly enjoyable even if I felt sad with possible changes in the band soon. "Beneath the Glare" was the first SPK song I heard, singing it for the first time last Saturday felt dreamlike! I especially love the lyrics. Heartache, ack.
After the gig, Allan and the guys wanted to eat at Mister Kebab. I was a bit tired to go, I had actually planned to go home earlier than the usual 4am. But I felt I had to come with them that time, there was a certain melancholy mood permeating the air we were breathing. Heavinesssss. Of course, everyone was smiling and kidding around and having a good time because it was Buzz Night but somehow, at the back of our heads, we knew we had to face some changes soon. Changes we'd rather not have right now because everything is just so great. And I was hoping an album will finally be released before the year ends. I had such dreams for Pillow. Or maybe these dreams will still come true, after all! The possibility of a happy ending is still uncertain, like most things are. But this is not reason enough to stop hoping for the best, right?
Okay, enough heartaches for this month! Here are some photos taken during Buzz Night taken by me and Ping:
Allan is in Dubai right now and he won't be back until the end of the week, I think? PASALUBONG, itay! hahaha
I miss gigging already!

It's Been 8 Years
Soft Pillow Kisses somewhere in Makati last April 12, 2007... Same date as that of the Kolumn Bar gig shown below...
Hello everyone…
Was just listened to the Radio Dept.'s song "It's Been 8 Years" when i suddenly realised that Soft Pillow Kisses has been going on for the past 8 years already… even though not much has been happening for us for the past 8 years, I’m very pleased at what this outfit has accomplished…
Here are some highlights…
1999 – “Harsh Words” although just a live take, got played on radio… people were beginning to notice us…
2000 – we became a part of a compilation of local indie bands – mostly indiepop bands… more radio airplay and at the same time the world-wide
indie-community was beginning to acknowledge the Philippines as a source of indiepop talents… Kinda-like a Seatle or Manchester but in a microscopic way…
2001 – got offers from foreign labels to release our songs… I ignored them all but in truth it was more of “neglect”…
2002 – Contributed a track for a local major-label compilation of foreign indie act… people who liked what we do praised us for that we were the only Filipino group in that compilation… I think that Carnival Park deserved those praises… we just pitched in for them… - I miss this band, one of the best acts the local indie scene ever had…
2003 – supposed to come out with a mini-album of sorts under shelflife records but never pushed through in spite contracts being signed and all… still was able to contribute a cover song for that label’s tribute album compilation… also in the bill were fellow Filipinos and former Buzz Night regulars Daydream Cycle and Carnival Park…
2004 – A big line-up change, recorded and tried to release an ep but never went to release it anyway…
2005 – struggled that year, shared vocalist with candyaudioline… during the later part of the year… recorded 3 tracks for another ill-fated compilation produced by yours truly…
2006 – was supposed to put out an album but line-up changes and the “over-produced” sound of the final masters prompted the band to put the album release to a halt… the eagerly awaited release was again to become another empty promise… Jinky was the name of our vocalist by October of this year and she was really good...
Present – have remixed the songs and have been very active playing live gigs thanks to Marian who took up vocal chores during the middle of February... but we will be encountering a problem sometime soon… stay tuned…

That's all for now... Just listen to the Radio Dept. instead...
By the way, i'll be out of the country for the next few days... can't wait to play live again...

Sweet And Sour...
Soft Pillow Kisses @ Kulumn Bar (April 12, 2007)... Candyaudioline also played at this gig without our vocalist... Both bands coming from a Makati gig. The last one for that Candyaudioline Line-up... That was a clear signal for me to make my move... What the heck, this is Soft Pillow Kisses' Blog... Read On!
Hello Everyone...
Soft Pillow Kisses played one of it's most inspired set last Saturday at Buzz Night... It was so enjoyanle that we did about 10-11 songs that night... We even played a song ("Beneath The Glare") that we haven't played for a long time now... the last time we did "Beneath The Glare" was about a year ago. We had a different singer back then... I missed playing that song. It's actually one of my favorite songs. Hehehe... Everything was very well executed most particularly the songs "I Was Right", "It Will Never Last (Forever)", "Stolen Flowers" and the best of all "Your Shoes Are Untied". Inspite the fact that it was a great gig, I was suddenly saddened by the fact that we are about to face another dilemna... Just as when things are stating to come together, a situation will apprear and shake us all to certain uncertainty... We've talked it over and all of us aren't happy with what is about to take place but life goes on anyway... hopefully, things would fall on the right places and eventually settle down properly... You probably don't understand what I'm saying but you'll figure out soon... I'm trying to stay calm... we all are... The question I'm asking right now is... "Why does it always have to happen to me?" "sweet and sour, candybar, lose to fit... THE FUCK WITH IT!!!"

Welcome Marian...
Hi Marian...
At last... someone to help me put something here... Ayos post mo ah... napaka-informative about the "we's" and "us'"... within the group... hehehe...
Thanks sa comment about the lyrics... yes i admit, matindi talaga ang "paninindigan" ko (hahaha)... sa sobrang tindi, d ko na tuloy malaman kung anu-o na ang gagawin ko... hay buhay!!! to quote a line from a song from the band The Aisler Set, "why baby why"... hay, sana matugtog na natin yung new song very soon...
hello peeps,
yan, dalawa na kami ni Marian ang magbibigay sa inyo ng mga info's regarding Soft Pillow Kisses... and at times, will share to you items that may or may not have anything to do or in anyways connected to the "subject" at hand...
so, here goes mine...
on my way home kanina, i got to encounter some really funny stuffs along the way... actually, it was all inside the cab that i took... first item was the driver of the cab... body builder type about 5'6" yung height around 220lbs, medyo dark skinned at bigotilyo... pag pasok ko sa taxi, he asked "botfs, sa-an kayoh?" medyo caught off-gaurd ako pero sige lang, cool lang ako... i answered the question and went on listening to my ipod... then i noticed the smell inside the taxi... i said to the driver "and bango boss ah"... sagot naman cya... "thangks"... okey, pigil tawa lang muna ako... pinatay ko na ipod ko at todo observe... sound trip nya parang 80's na compilation pero iba yung mga kumakanta... grabe!!! natawa ako sa mga lyrics, sample "inside you,the time moves and she don't KNOW" dapat yata "fade" eh... isa pa, "each time we talk about it, there's no secrets "I CAN HEAR", as far as i know, "kept in here" yung tama eh... hehehe. so para ma-aliw, sinabayan ko nalang sa pag-kanta yung tape ni bossing... habang kumakanta ako to the tune of "Tenderness" ng General Public na hindi naman, humurit si bossing na "galing moh namang kumantah... feyborite song ko yan sa teyp na yan eh"... at habang tinitingnan ko mukha nya, kitang kita ko ang shiny lips nya... lipglosss!!! ayun, bigla akong nahinto sa aking feel na feel na pagkanta... buti nalang at malapit na ako sa amin... d ko na pina-abot sa bahay yung taxi... nag-trip nalang ako at ipinara ko yung taxi sa isang beaty parlor na malapit sa amin... at sinabi ko, in a baklang bakla way, "dhitoh nalang ahkoh"... nakangiti sya habang inaabot ko yung bahad ko sabay sabi nya sa akin, "khaw rhin?"...
confirmed!!! tono pa lang ng pananalita, halata na... bading ngah ang bruhang maskulada...
close encounter with the 3rd kind ikah nga... baboosh muna for the meantime...
