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...

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...

Buzz Nights On A Weekday...
hello peeps...
i've decided to make BUZZ NIGHT a weekday affair... hope this will only be a temporary thing... i'll move it back to saturday once i find someone who'll be able to handle it in my absence... i'm thinking of moving it on a thursday, propably the 2nd thursday of each month... hopefully things would take a turn for the better... i'm open to suggestion too...
also, i've been allowed only 6 bands per night so please bear with me... any bands out there who wish to play buzz nights, just inform me anytime thru this blog via comments... and be sure that you fit the tag. ok!
times are very hard right now...

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...
"hello... anybody out there?"
