SORRY NA
Dati, nag-away kami ng 1st gf ko (yung med student) tapos muntik na kami mag-break kasi minsan, kung anu-ano nasasabi ko kapag mainit ang ulo ko. :(
I thrive on my ability to express myself during the peak of my emotional outburts, but it does get me into trouble sometimes...
Sa sobrang guilty ko, napasulat ako bigla ng kanta para sa kanya...
"Sorry...
GISING NA
Unang lumabas yung "Giging Na" sa Xmas album namin na
"Jingle Balls Silent Night Holy Cow" (gitara at vocals lang...)
It was again released on our 4th album "Gulong itlog Gulong" na may kasama nang keyboards...(pero mastrip ko talaga yung orig version)
I wrote it for my 1st gf who was a med student nung time na yun.
Pero nung una, hindi talaga "Gising...
For Kaye
Ang daming nagtatanong kung may mga kanta ba akong nasulat para kay Kaye...
Meron po. Dalawa.
"Ted Hannah" and "Para Sayo"

Song for Michelle
Dati may kabarkada akong babae sa UP Diliman.
Pangalang nya "Michelle"
Hindi naman sya maganda...cute lang.
Anyway, tropa lang talaga kami at araw araw kaming magkasama...pero everyday na nakakasama ko sya,
parang napansin ko na dahan dahan akong nadedevelop...
Since kabarkada ko naman si Michelle, and since close talaga kami, kaya ko syang biruin...

PARANG AYOKO NA YATA
Sinulat ko yung "Parang Ayoko Na Yata" para sa sarili ko.
The lyrics were directed towards me, mula sa point of view ng gf ko nung time na yun.
Sya yung pinaghintay ko mula 1pm to 6pm, ako yung biglang nag ice skating, ako yung may ibang lakad nung kakain na kami, at sya yung malas kasi mahal nya ko at di nya kayang magalit sa akin.
I was still...

HALAGA
Sinulat ko yung "Halaga" para sa room mate ng gf ko nung time na yun.
Nakaka-awa kasi yung room mate nya (at medyo nakaka-inis kasi ang tigas ng ulo) kasi sobrang sama ng bf nya at lagi nalang syang umiiyak...pero di naman nya maiwan.
And i wanted her to realize that she was worth more than that.
...that is why i wrote her that song.

PEDRO THE BASURAMAN
Alam nyo ba yung "Pedro the Basuraman" after ng kantang "Bagsakan"?
Pangalawang kanta/filler na namin yun tungkol sa kanya. Hehe!
Yung una nasa Xmas album.
(sa mga may Xmas album, hanapin nyo...may filler dun tungkol sa kanya)
Hindi pa 'to yung kwento for putting us on the No.1 spot...
gusto ko lang talaga to ikwento to. hehe!

Hindi Magpapatalo
Dati may gig kami sa Pampanga.
Since medyo tipid yung organizers, sa isang motel room lang kami pinag-stay.
Yung banyo, since motel sya, may frosted na salamin, para pag nasa kwarto ka, makikita mo yung colored silhouette ng nagsha-shower sa loob.
Since translucent yung salamin. Wala kang makikitang details.
Not unless idikit mo yung body part...

Walang Iwanan
Sa banda, kami ni Buwi ang madalas mag-away.
We argue about everything at sya ang madalas kong nakaka-suntukan.
...maybe because we grew up together as friends outside school.
(meaning sya talaga barkada ko sa labas ng Ateneo kaya iba din yung level ng bonding namin)
Sya nag nagturo sa akin mag-yosi, at sila ng kuya ko ang mga kasama ko nung una...
Kaye's Idea
Alam nyo ba na si Ate Kaye ang nag-isip ng tono ng backing vocals at ng 2nd voice para sa parts na kinanta ni Happee sa kantang "Pangarap Lang Kita"?
Nagpatulong ako sa kanya while recording the demo.
Sya rin ang nag suggest na si Jm De Guzman ang kunin namin na lead character para sa video.
Astig no?!

Solid Walang Mintis
Mula nung nag-simula kami nung Dec 1993, hanggang ngayon, walang mintis, we always made it a point to huddle and pray before going onstage.
Kaya kahit may tampuhan o meron medyo bad mood sa amin, wala lahat yun pag sampa namin...

Tikmol & Co.
Narinig ko yung kanta ni Rick Astley kanina! Naalala ko yung dance group ni Chito nung grade school kami.
May dance group kasi siya nung grade school kami na laging sumasayaw tuwing may program sa school. Siya pa ang choreographer.

Sinasayaw nila yung kanta ni Rick Astley, George Michael, and New Kids on the Block.

Dindin! Pwede ko ba kwento yung nasa isang restaurant tayo sa Baguio tapos kumuha ka sa buffet table ng dalawang platong punung-puno ng pagkain tapos nalaglag ka sa hagdanan sa harap ng maraming tao?

Vinci has 4 cracked ribs, 2 busted shins (bone shards), and 1 broken finger.

He still performed and finished the set then went straight to the hospital as soon as we got here in Seattle.
Tutugtog pa rin sya mamaya.

Koreanang Kahera
Eto na ang hinihintay niyong lahat...
Nung 2005 US Tour namin, sumama yung wives and girlfriends naming lahat. Kasama ni Chito si Kaye Abad.
May isang tindahan na pagma-may-ari ng mga Koreano na nagbebenta ng mga t-shirts, underwear, at thermals na paborito ni Ate Kaye at Chito...
Pagkatapos nila magshopping, pumunta sila sa kahera at nilapag nilang...
Bowl
Unahan ko muna si Dindin!!! Bwahahaha!!!
Dati nasa korea kami tapos kumain kami sa isang korean resto.
Sa sobrang atat habang naghihintay ng order, kinuha nya yung parang maliit na bowl sa gitna nung empty na lamesa para may lalagyan na sya agad ng pagkain pag may dumating na food.
Pagdating ng mga appetizers, kumuha sya agad at nilagay nya sa bowl...
SAMPIP
Dati, may nagawa at napagtripan akong chord pattern sa gitara na paulit-ulit kong tinutugtog.
Enjoy na enjoy akong tugtugin pero di ko malagyan ng words at lyrics kaya binigay ko kay Gab kasi baka sakaling malagyan nya ng words, lyrics at tono.
After a few days, binalik nya sa akin yung kanta...kumpleto with lyrics na may magandang tono.
kulang...
