hello everyone...
been receiving a few positive praises from people outside the country lately... its really heart warming... how i wish i could play in those places where people like what we do...
at times i keep day dreaming of going to places such as the US, parts of Europe like, Greece, Spain, Sweden, the UK... Or going to neighboring Asian countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Japan and Korea... Just the though of playing outside the country fill my Heart with Joy...
if only i had lots of money... i'd bring my bandmates along and play anywhere or even everywhere... i've been to lots of places and watched numerous gigs by countless indie bands and i really like the crowd... i remeber watching The Radio Dept. at Singapore last year... even though Radio Dept. was a bit off, the crown was really accommodating... Same during Bell And Sebastian gig there... The big crown during The Cure's Hong Kong Gig 2 years ago was really so behaved... 2 years ago, i watched Asobi Seksu in Seattle the crowd was really cool... the band too was really friendly... i even offered them my sevices as a roadie but the Guitarist shyly replied telling me that don't have money to pay me...
Maybe someday i'll get to experience such but i'm not really pinning my hopes... but we can never tell... til' the next post...
an almost day to day acount of things about us and some rantings about the oohs and aaahhhs in our own little heaven....

Practice Practice...
hello Everyone...
As i've said in my last post, i'll start focusing again on Soft Pillow Kisses... and the best way to start is to organize a practice session... that's what i did and at last, we were able to have a somewhat decent practice last night although it was a bit short-lived because our singer wasn't available (again) then i got tired early on and my two other bands were lined-up too... still it was a very fun experience...
it's been more than three weeks already since the last time we played together... i guess me and my bandmates are starting to gel together although at times i still lose my patience at Mar (guitarist) but i can't do anything about it anymore... just have to stick it out with him for now... at least he's trying his best and for me, that's good enough... i just wish that we could practice frequentky but with Josh have a somewhat steady job already, that would not be very easy...
there's not much left for us to do but to make worth of everytime we're together and when we can be together...
til' the next post again....

A Bit Confused At The Moment...
Hello everyone...
i've been very busy with lamenting on Candyaudiolines sad situation and also with a new project of mine called "Lipstick Tragedy"...
but since i've already been used to lamenting on Candyaudioline's "Perpetual Sad Condition" and have come to terms with the truth to the stupidity of forming a band devoted to the lagacy of Glitter Rock, i'm deciding to give a bit of my time again to Soft Pillow Kisses...
we were suppose to practice last Sunday but Josh was under the weather and i was not really in the mood to practice... actually, we haven't done any serious practice for the past few weeks... i've already laid down two new tunes for SPK but it seems that i'm not really sure about both tunes... i can't even come out with words or even a decent melody for either one... I guess the Lipstick Tragedy thing has tragically drained me... or maybe i'm just pushing my self a bit too much... i'm trying to recall what was i in when i wrote most of the best SPK tunes but i can't hardly remember save for the fact that most of the time i was under the Mystifying Spell of Sadness... Currently i'm sad for a lot of reasons but such could not inspire me to produce lines like "through the shattered glass we steal, memories that hit you..." or come up with tunes that can equal the like of "I Was Right" or "Wasting Opporyunities"... Now i'm confused...
Well it's still far from 2012... there's dtill a lot of time to try an come up with decent songs...

Flattered And Flattened...
Hello everyone...
If you've noticed my recent posts, most are quotes from the net pertaining to Soft Pillow Kisses...
It's very flattering, really, to read so many praises coming from people from different parts of the globe... i never really expected these... somehow it makes me feel slightly relieved given our present condition right now... Well it's nothing new... it's always been full of "little ups" and "tormenting downs" for us...
Actually, were doing fine as of now but i'm really having a hard time with the new songs that i've written... Admittedly, we're somewhat short on the "Skills" department right now... the guitars in particular but i can sense the effort and somehow, there's consulation somewhere... but it's the presence factor that's killing us... how i wish that i was really very rich and that i'd hire my bandmates or just simply put out a non-income generating corporation aimed at nothing whatsoever and just make them my staffs so that there'll be no conflicting sched between each and everyone of us... But such would be really venturing very far from what's real ain't it...
i just have to deal with reality...

Ballad Of A Bitter End... A Post From Multiply...
....
THE POEMS - Ballad of a bitter end
"Whisper soft, whisper low. Tell me things I shouldn't known. With you I want to grow." atbp.
Di ako masyado sure sa lyrics. At eto pa pala, ang matindi. "I'll write a book, the saddest book. And it will be our story, the ballad of a bitter end."
SOFT PILLOW KISSES - I don't know what to say
The end part, and it uttered. " What will I do if you have to leave and go away. Stare at me as if saying, 'let's go our separate ways'. No I don't want that to happen, I don't know what to say," Not really certain with the lyrics but there's the thought. By the way, SPK is a pinoy indie band for those who don't know. They have the international caliber compared to the mainstreamers, of course you know who I'm referring to.
THE PIN-UP GIRLS - Alright
It's just great. The conversation-like style, the blending. The whole thing rocks!
"You seem to have let go of me pretty quickly."
THE DESERT WOLVES - Besotted
Besotted as this. The chorus part, I have to pick that...
