Analog Signals

Went to this Dope MNL thing somewhere in Chino Roces and totally had a blast. Mostly because I was just hanging out with my friends.

 Here is a close up of the shirt that I wore that night. It's the Madonna/Virgin shirt from Proudrace!

Hehe, got it when Status had a garage sale or sumthin. We went over to Patmai's place to drop of her school stuff and went to Nova Gallery. We had a tough time looking for it but eventually found it. Luckily, my friend Patmai was familiar with the place.

When we got there, Bee Eyes was already playing! Yay, I got to see them again because I just think they're awesome. The sad part is that I never get to start their set, haha.

When we got there, a lot of people were outside but we decided to roam around the gallery first. Below are some of the art featured in the gallery. The gallery, btw was pretty cool and nice. Click on the images na lang to enlarge, hehe.

This one was pretty cool, it's really just a black and white art on canvas but a projector made it change its colors! Cool idea, man. 

Bee Eyes finished their set and my friends wanted to drink the Tanduay Ice they brought (Yes, BROUGHT, coz they're badass like that) and so we decided to roam the compound. Here are the things that we did around the compound...

I saw a cool dark alley and thought that it would be cool to have a photo right there and so we did!

I think the coolest thing we saw there last night was this warehouse for interior things and the warehouse was decorated with fake grass/vines and the photos turned out great!

Props to my friend, Trixie for the cool photos. This is probably one of my favorites nao + a lot of people are liking my profile pic in Facebook, hehehe (that's me on the left and that's Patmai on the right)

Patmai was kind of hyper/drunk that night na, so I think that's why she did this pose =)) She's hilarious to bits. PLUS, she was legit MY first friend in college, guys. Plus points to her! 

 And then that's my trying to kill her =)) We were laughing. We realized we hadn't eaten dinner that night so we decided to eat dinner in Ministop. We spent most of our time there and we had loads of laugh too. Down here, Patmai is probably talking to the doughnut and saying "Shhh" to it as she ate the poor doughnut. It was hysterical I tell ya! HYSTERICAL!

 Here's us pretending not to know that we're not being photographed near the white wall. 

We then ran out of drink and had a lot of laugh and decided to go home. Walking towards my car, the crowd parted and....

A WILD JOEY APPEARED! :D

Everyone knows Joey, guys. EVERYONE. 

That ends an epic cool night.

I took some photos with my Yashica but it's black and white so Imma have to wait for it to get developed. Photos courtesy of Trixie :D

What'sa Cookin' ?

HOLA FOLKS! 

I haven't been here in ages, gladly I am still alive and safe...funny thing is, when I stopped "blogging" the traffic in my blog increased =)) It's pretty weird and ironic that that happened but now that I'm back (typing again) I can't wait to see what happens. 

A lot has happened, school happened and then some Warpaint and a little bit of Manila Music Festival here and uhhmmm...yeah. I like to pretend people care about the things that happen in my life so here goes nothin' ! :D

A total recap into what has happened in my life:

Warpaint happened all summer so that was pretty cool. If you don't know who Warpaint is, here I'll show ya...

That's my first fave song from them, in the end though, I kind of ended up liking almost all of their songs in their albums. YES, their first EP called Warpaint and their album called The Fool. Both are definitely worth the download. Although their albums are awesome, they are more of a "live" band, so I suggest you sit your ass down and open youtube and check out all of their live performances (coz yeah, that's what I did the whole summer). Not only that, the girls are all freakin' hilarious in their interviews and I'll show you one of their cool interviews:

Might I also give a little trivia? The bassist has an ace Rickenbacker and her name is Jenny Lee Lindberg. She has a sister named Shannyn Sossamon. Familiar? Ever seen the movie called 'A Knight's Tale'? Yep. :> ALSO, the chick with the red guitar is Theresa Wayman and if you'll recall a movie named 'The Rules of Attraction', she's the chick there who kills herself! Shannyn Sossamon was there as well. Shannyn was also a previous drummer of Warpaint but left because she wanted to focus on acting. Don't worry, an epic drummer replaced her and her name is Stella Mozgawa!

So yeah.  On to the next happening!

Electric Guitar

This is the electric guitar in Transound. It's suppperrr old and OVERUSED na. If I was a rich girl nananananananaaaa~~~ I'd buy myself an epic electric guitar, alas I am not. Although I have plans on buying a Squier Telecaster or (my friend suggested) an Artcore Ibanez. I can't decide between the two but of course, money is also an issue.

My friend can get me a cheap second-hand Ibanez but a brand new Telecaster is not THAT expensive either, thoughts on which one you think is better? :D

Nelly Furtado and James Morrison Once Said...

You can't play on broken strings. That's what happened to Neal during our band practice last Saturday =)) We were all silent for like 5 seconds or so just staring at Neal's guitar. Thank God Transound has another guitar ready for use!

Compilation of Band Photos from Vitug

My friend Vitug compiled the photos!

Saturdays

After band practice, we were supposed to have a photoshoot for our Concept Photography class but John lost the yellow paper needed to borrow the lights so the shoot was cancelled. We were sooo lazy because of the heat that we stayed in the LRC and had a little "session" =))

Kidding. Nothing happened. We were just bummed out.

Whoa, the neck of the guitar looks sooo big pala!

Vitug's XL pick

Band Practice

We were on summer break so there were no practice sessions then. Yesterday was the first day of our band practice but our vocalist wasn't there because we forgot to text him and because he doesn't have a facebook account! (yes folks, wala siyang account kasi ayaw niya) :\ WHYYY?!

Here's Neal preppin' his new guitar that was give to him by a friend! Neal is sooo lucky, oh and did I mention it's a Squier Stratocaster? Not bad for something that was handed down to him.

Here's Vitug talking to John the drummer.

Thor flexin' his muscles

Oh, and Thor is baaaackkk!!! He's got mad skillz, yo!

The amp that I use

And it has somehow become our habit of eating late lunch at McDonald's every time we finish practicing.
