Hi guys - I got a message from Sancho saying Ely's mom died thismorning - went into a cardiac arrest after surgery. The guy is in grief so prayers, condolences for the man might be in order to give him strength and solace. Those of you who have lost parents know what
I mean.

jim

yes, folks. you heard it right. ely buendia's mom died today. (well technically yesterday because it's 3am already)

anyway, i feel really bad. sure i don't know her, but the thought of losing a parent, your mom at that (while having a great life endeavor--- the reunion concert) is unbearable. i mean, what do you do without your mom? :'( i say we cancel the show. or postpone at least. it's not gonna be fun maybe not for us but for ely doing the show. :(

my thought: i think ely's mom waited for this reconciliation to happen before she went ahead. :( she didn't even for the actual reunion; she knew it was gonna happen when it was gonna. i'm sorry and my sincerest condolences. postpone the show, i don't mind. for ely and his family.

E-heads concert to push through after changes

MANILA, Philippines - After much fuss over its sponsors, the much-awaited reunion concert of the Eraserheads will push through, but with some major changes.

In a message received by those on the official mailing list of bands Cambio, Sandwich and Pedicab, Eraserheads drummer Raimund Marasigan over the weekend confirmed that another company has taken over the production of the concert after the tobacco company Philip Morris decided to pull out from the event.

Marasigan also said the event will now be held at The Fort in Taguig City, instead of the CCP open grounds as earlier announced.

“The turnover started yesterday and they have already started work on the site in the Fort. So you can check," Marasigan stated.

With the pullout of Philip Morris from the concert's production, the registration procedures in the Red Nation website have been deemed void and that fans will now have to pay to attend the concert.

He also noted that since the tickets will now be sold, the concert will be open only to those aged 12 years old and above.

Marasigan said the official announcement and ticketing details will come out in major newspapers and radio stations on Tuesday.

And to tickle those waiting for the concert, Marasigan said: “I just got home from the last rehearsal. The band is cooking. We will see you all on the 30th."

Earlier this month, the Department of Health and anti-tobacco group Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance-Philippines warned Philip Morris against sponsoring the event.

Health Undersecretary Alexander Padilla said Philip Morris will be violating Republic Act No. 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 which prohibits cigar companies from sponsoring sports, cultural, and artistic events of individual or team athletes, artists and performers.

"If we are able to show and prove that this concert is actually sponsored by you, by Philip Morris, then we will truly train our guns on you for clearly violating the law," Padilla said in a press conference.

He said the tobacco company cannot argue that they did not violate the law since the contract has been signed before the prohibition on sponsorship of events took effect on July 1, 2008 as stated on Section 26 of RA 9211.

"The company already knew when the prohibition would take effect so if they will try to circumvent that by saying 'we signed the contract before' that will not be acceptable," Padilla said.

The Health Department and tobacco control advocates also appealed to Eraserheads to reject the Philip Morris' sponsorship of its much awaited reunion concert.

Padilla said the popular band, which disbanded in 2002, should disassociate themselves from a cigar company who will be sponsoring their concert.

"With their prestige, they should disassociate themselves to tobacco products which have no value or use. They should heed the law and bring the youth to other productive activities. Tobacco products should not be promoted," Padilla said.

"Considered one of the most influential bands in the country, the Eraserheads has become a role model of sorts for our young. I hope they will rise up to the challenge, do more than play music, and help young Filipinos reach their potential," said Dr. Maricar Limpin of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance-Philippines. - GMANews.TV

awww that's too bad

i actually half expected this to happen. one, because i didn't wanna believe i couldn't come because i was underaged and two because it's really a weird operation, process and shit altogether. i mean, a cigarette company sponsored ticket-free website manipulated concert??riiiight. not to mention the largest event that could ever be since forever? oh it's major alright. it's also cancelled.

i'm not happy. but i'm not sad either. it's okay. it ought to be a phenomenon but that's the way the cookie crumbles. they weren't gonna pull something like that off without any serious consequences. why can't they just get real not gay fucking sponsors and sell mighty expensive fucking tickets and not!! cut off age groups!! stupid stupid concert. that's a shoutout to you stupid organizers. beh!!!!

read through. credits to this site:

"About 10 minutes ago i got the text i was hoping would never come. The Eheads concert is cancelled.

Because the Department of Health (DOH) refuses to issue a permit, they've been left with no choice but to cancel the concert. We know that they've been having the hardest time to make this happen because of all the laws and what not, and i guess those troubles have gone far enough and to the point that they've just decided to let it go and not have the show instead.

This is a very sad day in Filipino Music. Thousands, perhaps millions of people have been talking about this once in a lifetime experience for nearly a month now, and without anyone being able to confirm anything absolutely solid, the buzz has just gotten louder and louder. I wonder what kind of monstrous noises we'll be hearing now that the concert has been called off? But what a sad day indeed. People from abroad have purchased tickets to come home just for this one reason. T-shirts have been made. Countless playlists on iPods and radio stations have all paid tribute to the Eheads as a result of their One Night Only Reunion..and now its cancelled. Shit."

oh yeah, it's shitass.

MONG

it's uh mong's birthday today. yata. :) i can't greet him anyway so, whatever.
i uhm, something you. admire? yeah right.

HAPPEE BIRTHDAY MONG. :)

csci. csci?

i know about the often day dreams that interrupt my cognitive thinking and learning process. it's because i want those day dreams custom made for my convenience. but consecutive night dreams?

you don't have any idea what i'm talking about, yes? i thought so.


csci is chicosci compressed. seriously i hate the term shortened because it sounds bad and it looks bad and whutever. anyway, i admit that although it's shameful and completely pathetic, i still do entertain day dreaming and for the longest time now CHICOSCI had been what fills my day dreams. anything! like being friends with them or performing live for them on a stage and them being amazed. or something. there i just spilled my guts. don't care, won't care. shut up.

this week, however, there had been two consecutive nights that chicosci was in my night dreams. the first one's scenario was the regular chatting with each other, bla bla bla like what happened in sm north edsa but more extensive this time. next dream, there were hugs. i mean, huh? that's in my day dream but how did it get to my unconscious? weird huh? weirder thing, is that i do remember a lot of details on the dream and nothing seems to be off or out of place like no one was there who wasn't supposed to be there or it wasn't a stupid funny place that we're in and nothing was too impossible not to be possible. eheh. yeah. don't mind me.

but i guess i've had weirder dreams. i think the only thing i proved here is when i think too much on a subject in road daylight, it creeps to my sleeping brain somehow. gosh i feel like a friggin' psychoanalyst. eeewww. *suka*

p.s. you all look bad in the photo above. ekkkk.

panic!

panic! at the disco? last night august 14? at araneta? i know! how was it?

I DON'T FREKKEN' KNOW!!

i didn't go. i couldn't go. i would have gone. but nooooo. school just had to fuck my life so bad that it's crushed like a grasshopper who actually turned ballistically blue, red, white, brown and blinky lighty all over! because he was under the CRUCIATUS CURSE! (i was a harry potter addict.)

screw you, school! you make me look bad! (i am a courage, the cowardly dog fan.) dork! dork! dork!

there, i'm done ranting. back to school work. *smiley smiley*

sweet sweet therapy

it's been ONLY almost three months since classes started but it really seems to be a lot longer than that. really longer. and in that duration, i've had my really bad days, really bad grades, really bad awful rain odor-stricken clothes, really really short nights and really really sabaw-inflicting readings. the big BUT however, is that i managed to still BREATHE until now.

look mom, i'm juggling 2 chem subjects and 4 psychs and i'm still alive! sure i don't sleep anymore but i still breathe. and i've found a lot of ways to calm myself down, have fun and stay sane. (i'm writing bad, aren't i? it's cause i'm watching something. hehehe) anyway, here they are.

candidate number one: soccer
i do soccer for PE and it's really fun. i don't mind that i've only had TWO GOALS since i've started, some haven't got any. :D anyway, i bought a ball, it's violet and yellow. yeee. it's soo cool. i'm hoping to play SOMEDAY if my readings don't asphyxiate me to death, in up sunken garden but that's gonna be longer than i'd pray for. :)

candidate number two: colors!
i bought a coloring book with an underwater theme and some jumbo crayons so i can color when i'm stressed. :p i know it's childish but who gives a damn. i really do have fun everytime i do coloring. try it, it's fun. :)


candidate number 3: ps2
yep, i bought myself a ps2 so i can channel my anger on tekken 5 and duh, have effing fun with it! yeha! my parents don't know about it, yet. hehehe. someday they will. but right now, i'm sooo satisfied. yey!

so there. :)

freaky.

i saw this article while jibber jabbering over the net stuff sometime last monday. i uh kinda looked for weird, spooky stories and found this: enjoy. :)

oh, and careful. i warned okay? :)

Once there was a beautiful young girl who lived in a small town just south of Farmersburg. Her parents had to go to town for a short while, so they left their daughter home alone, but protected by her dog, which was a very large collie. Her parents told the girl to lock all the windows and doors after they had left. And at about 8:00 PM the parents went to town. So doing what she was told, the girl shut and locked every window and every door. But there was one window in the basement that would not close completely. Trying best as she could she finally got the window shut, but it would not lock. So she left the window and went back upstairs. But just to make sure that no one could get in, she shut the deadbolt lock on the basement door. Then she sat down, had some dinner and decided to go to sleep for the night.

Settling down to sleep at about 12:00 she snuggled up with the dog and fell asleep. At one point, she suddenly woke up. She turned and looked at the clock...it was 2:30. She snuggled down again wondering what had woken her...when she heard a noise. It was a dripping sound. She thought that she had left the water running, and now it was dripping into the drain of the sink. So thinking it was no big deal she decided to go back to sleep. But she felt nervous so she reached her hand over the side of the bed and let the dog lick her hand for reassurance that he would protect her. Again at about 3:45 she woke up hearing dripping. She was slightly sngry now but went back to sleep anyway. Again she reached down and let the dog lick her hand. Then she fell back asleep. At 6;52 the girl decided that she had had enough...she got up just in time to see her parents were pulling up to the house. "Good" she thought "now somebody can fix the sink cause I know I didn't leave it on." She walked to the bathroom and there was the collie dog skinned and hung up on the curtain rod. The noise she heard was its blood dripping into a puddle on the floor. The girl screamed and ran to her bedroom to get a weapon, in case someone was still in the house...and there on the floor was a note, written in blood, saying..

"Humans Can Lick Too My Beautiful."

you can scream now. :o

something chicosci-ey minus mong and macoy. :p

thanks gelatin cream a.k.a gela francisco for the photos. :)

the ecstasy that is estacio

intro: uhm, he didn't have a spreadsheet at the myx magazine, we did one for him. it was a stupid 2-page whatever fucking ass shit article and photos. hahaha. but it's fine. he didn't see it. yet. :p

hot model: macoy estacio

YOU! READ THIS. I DIDN'T WASTE 2 MINUTES AND 43 HOURS WRITING THIS WITHOUT ANYONE TO READ IT!

"me... i always tell the truth. even when i lie." –estacio

note to macoy:
• this is not trash.
• once you've read this, don't throw it. i had a hard time trying to find my way to insults of you.
• this article isn't meant to offend, hurt, emotionally assault, degrade, devalue, shame, humiliate, mortify, dishonor, displease, upset, distress, annoy, irk, vex, irritate and utmost anger you. we did this because we felt bad that you weren't in the myx magazine cover and because we spend time to appreciate what you are doing for chicosci (being the drummer and all. crowd clown. band geek. whatever.)
• if anything, take this as an appreciative token and all the bad stuff i put in here as jokes. hehe. if you are able to do that, we will love you forever and take out our notion that you are gay, i mean masungit. i meant to say masungit. (strike one joke. hehe.)

note to the other members of the band:
• when you read this, that is if ever you do, don't laugh out too loud. :D it's already as embarrassing as it gets for macoy. if you want a part 2, just tell me. :p

so... the jerk who's behind the drums in chicosci gigs lately? the one who looks like a lost little boy, confused and constipated in between songs but feels serious as death and mad (like he's gonna tear the drumset apart) while performing? rawr. the one who's hotter than miggy, mong, calde and ariel put together? **screeeecchh** we-we-wait, what? rewind!! please tell me we're talking about some hollywood actor!

uh, we might be but no. sorry folks. you can break it up and stop reading here. but if you must continue then suit yourselves. fine, i'll humor whatever floats your boat. his name's macoy estacio and he's the newest member of the most immaculate band in the universe... something.. squishy.. fruity science.. something. melon? uh, strawberry, is it? no that's too gay. oh, of course, CHICO! yes, science of brown squishy chico. yes chicosci. but this isn't about them, it's about someone's doood, i think. sure. *wink wink* (nah, you know yourselves.) we felt bad for macoy because he wasn't in the cover of myx mag so we did him a favor. :)

anyway, macoy. hmm, i saw him first time on a music tv show, okay it's MYX. (whatda?) he was demo-ing drum parts for a watch-and-learn type o' show, okay it's myx tugtugan. (eff) and the host, OKAY it's raimund marasigan. (darn it.) was asking him how many parts were there in the song that he was demo-ing and he goes, "uhm, parts? (looking as constipated as ever) uhm, (macoy to his mind: isip ka ng kahit anong number! how many daw e!)" but he ended up blurting out. "di ko alam e. *snickers*" (who was able to watch that? anyone? join me in laughing! haha.) but, (here's the pambawi) he did great! he was double-pedaling fine and mr. marasigan looked amazed. or was he raising his eyebrow? :p

macoy estacio. he also plays for another band, AMS. that's april morning skies. (plug-in: new album out now! as in this day! 08.08.08 grab a copy!) he still didn't get the vox privilege in this band (ooohh. sorry na.) but he gets paid pa rin so buzz off! yes, two bands mean two sets of hard earned pay. :p (ladies, he's rich, fresh meat! he'll take any sensual part of your body as bait! except the armpits i assume? or? hahahaha.)

macarthur said, "i shall return", rage against the machines spiked renegades of funk, ateneo says, "la salle stinks!" (ooopps. :D), niche says "ayt" and macoy's award winning line is, "me... i always tell the truth. even when i lie." *crickets* *blink blink* *snores* whut? i'll leave the explanation of that line to him because really, i don't get it. i'll pretend it's a really sensible line. it is! it is! it is! (there i'm done pretending. :D)

this article/ okray of macoy estacio is getting too long and outta hand (i might blurt out how badly he hates karla angeles or something. :p), so i'm ending with a final note: yug and joel haven't committed suicide yet (because they think chicosci died when they left and when macoy took over), so that means mr. macoy estacio is a good drummer. :) cheers.

hot model: macoy estacio ☺

p.s. this is a distraction! because i can't post what i really want to post, i take out old stuff. hahahaha. enjoy! or don't. :p

NIÑO!

i saw niño avenido in ateneo today! yey! i'm not gonna write about my stupid fucking day because i'm still feeling fine.

*ehem chinese*
*ehem stat*
*ehem gen psych*
*ehem chem*
*ehem ehem blood drive, you stupid idiot* okay i think i'm good. wait, fucking school! there. i'm good.

anyway, back to niño avenido. he's happymeals', greyhoundz', out of body special's and some other bands' i suppose, bassist. a lot of comments go, "niño is the best bassist on earth!" and i might not think that (i don't play that stupid favoritism game anymore. it's fucked up) i still think he's just as good to be called good. :) i know him as ala paredes' boyfriend also, although i'm not sure if they're still together.

i saw him before chem class and told myself, "nah, that might not be him, what the hell would he be doing here?" but i did follow that supposed guy with my eyes until he exited. :p and then i saw him again after chem--- CLOSER AND HARDER. (saw him harder? whut? hahaha)

then, i thought, i guess he's studying. hehe.

here's one of him rockin' out:

p.s. niño, i had to learn how to type ñ in mac so i could spell your name right. hahah. and you won't be able to actually read this at all, in a million lifetimes. oh well, that the 'pathetic' in life. :) get used to it, beyotch.

word count:

1. fuck- 3
2. stupid- 3
3. ehem- 6 ****TING TING TING! WINNER!****
