a new home for things i have to say, and more importantly, things that i couldn't usually say.

"Wag mo na akong ihatid, may spotter kasi ako."
pero it reinforces my impression that maybe "women are ashamed to be seen with me."
ewan ko. it's a bit of a downer, but maybe i'll get over it in a few days -
but don't quote me on that, kasi i tend to (over) analyze such matters and blame myself for such debacles.

purple kush: revised, 10-3-2010

i posted this revised version on my YouTube channel earlier. here's the link and a short write-up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy9VF0LcY38
this is a revised version of purple kush - a video i made a week before - with a basic structure. i decided to do this with a clean tone, i.e., no overdrive effect, as i like to have it as stripped down to the basic as possible. my playing still sucks, but this isn't final yet so just cut me some slack.

welcoming the new, but keeping the old
pa-pampam ang import function ng Multiply albums kaya i had to do this the hard way. ito yung album na inupload ko sa Facebook kanina lang:
just a few snapshots of my guitars and amplifiers:
Dimitri (my old reliable RJ Stratocaster)
Pot-Pot (my old Dean Markley K20BX amplifier)
Juno (my newly-acquired Fender Stratocaster)
and Nicky (my newly-acquired Dean Markley K20X amplifier)
i bought my new babies from Packy, and it was worth every centavo. =O)>
p.s. the album title was based on a speech by Dr. Steve Rood on SWS' 25th anniversary celebration - i myself have been with the institution for about 10 years now.

Dreamscapes: the documentary (well, sort of)
here are the lyrics:
Dreamscapes
as soon as you're alone, you never have to worry 'bout the monsters in the closet and the nightmares you've been keeping to yourself.
I don't know how you do it but I never can, never can reveal it, yeah
and yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you
do it like you do it now, you do it and you do it
Keep away from trouble.
The dreamscapes are illusions but they are all true, all are true inside of you.
Never let me see them. Your eyes are terrifying, they are so untrue, but they're enough to burn me and
yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you
do it like you do it now, you do it and you do it
p.s. the cover photo was taken by Alex Agena.

Why Sit There James Take 2

why sit there James forever dead in that black and white pic
forever flicking that half-finished smoke your eyes
dead set on the ember white burn brooding back in our eyes alighting
your image and you are supposed to be a nasty casualty
of a car crash why James always that bored look is the world too
slow like the gramophone that plays the fall in Four Seasons
sighs of the string section swirling below that auburn hair mingling
with the hair of your troubled roles the world troubled in bending
too much you can't see straight that you had it piped once with a pastor full
of sibilance in his speech probably promised you rain and salvation
and all you got was an awakening to a wedging in of Sodom sweet in its sin
yes they talked about it in Larry King Live your sweetheart confirmed
things you had done trashing your room for trusting in strangers for doping
shooting uppers faking talk shows saying driving too fast isn't safe
caring isn't safe you ran like hell the world couldn't follow couldn't swallow
stars like you falling fast and hard your soul cost millions they printed
your pretty face in posters pictures pin-ups up there in heaven Hollywood
where saints and sinners trade places faster than sideswipes happen
in long roads and runways engines revving up and down the slope
of your life
couldn't slant enough to not keep fans from fielding East of Eden full
even then why sit there James why let scumbags take your photograph
and remind
us of your pain if you had stared straight we sure couldn't have looked back
but you couldn't just sit couldn't let Bach cement you to that sofa had
to run
had to race time to halt your age to be as fast as you can be rushing
to the point where seconds become infinitesimal the pedals clutch and
rubber
enfolding and the gap in everything becomes nothing but an exploding star

mga pusa
wala akong magawa nung sabado kaya pinagkukunan ko ng mga larawan ang mga pusa namin sa bahay. apat sila, isang puti, isang black & gray, at dalawang orange. madalas silang nagpapahinga dun sa berdeng inidoro sa tindahan. naging malikot at mailap sila kung kaya't binalik-balikan ko na lang sila. nag-edit ako ng pics using ACDSee ulit: crop, sharpen, flip, adjust ng brightness / contrast / gamma / exposure / saturation / hue, black and white, negative, sepia, and oil painting filter.
wala lang, ka-weirdohan ko lang po ito.

from the cubicle

pagdating ko nung lunes dito sa office, i had this sudden weird urge to take some pictures. since dala-dala ko naman si Sophia, eh di sige. hindi na ako lumayo sa aking makalat na cubicle at ito ang mga subject na pinatulan ko: 1) ang aking pitsel ng Nestea na naiwan sa ref buong weekend kaya nag-freeze ang iced tea sa loob nito; 2) ang angel na ibinigay sa akin ng ex- ko nung college na si Sherryl after niyang makipag-break sa akin; 3) ang piggy bank ko sa ibabaw ng aking CPU na sinabitan ko ng sampaguita ilang araw pagkatapos ng Ondoy; at 4) ang newspaper clipping ng "You are Here" sketch ni John Lennon - kung saan magkasama sila ni Yoko Ono - na naka-tape sa cubicle ko since 2001 pa.
nag-pp ako using ACDSee: crop, brightness/contrast adjustment, at autolevels.
wala lang, random kahibangan lang siguro ito on my part. ewan.

nagpapaantok at walang magawa

ilang mga larawan ito na kinunan ko gamit ang aking portable media player / low-end camera na si Sophia nung isang gabi. matutulog na dapat ako kaya lang hindi naman ako antukin kaya nagpasya akong magkali-kalikot sa kama. nag-pp ako using ACDSee - crop, kalikot ng mga kulay, contrast, brightness, filter ng oil paint, sepia, negative, colorize, at iba pa. ang mga subjects na napili ko ay yung lamp ko na natanggap noong office Christmas Party, yung Buddha accessory sa cellphone ko, pati yung laruan kong si Ernie na ni-dreadlocks ko ang buhok way back in 1999. wala lang magawa, kaya ito ang naging resulta. =O)>

Golden Girls from the Grave (final take)
heart that seeks the same old breeze
causing our hearts to beat in one causality
no one knows but you and me
we can plead reality
and we can feel serenity
giving up our safety valves
heart that speaks the same old breeze
melting our souls to beat in one causality

dreams (the weird ones, i mean)
i said in my previous entry that the next one would be about my OGL, but i had to write this entry down and post it. i had a strange dream last night – well, technically, it was this dawn, as i was only able to sleep at about 3:30 am – and i couldn’t make any sense out of it.
my dream was in technicolor (so it’s not in black and white, obviously) and it showed that i was watching a television program wherein a female host (presumably in her 40s) featured a man (in his 30s at least) putting on some sort of white cream all over his face. and the weird part was that, as i was watching that television program, i was also putting on that same white cream on my face. and when i was finished, that’s when i woke up. what the hell was that about? i am at a loss for a plausible explanation/interpretation.
if you thought that was weird, then you ain’t seen nothing yet. about 30 minutes ago, my cousin texted me about a weird dream he had last night. here it is:
“Nanaginip ako kagabi, sabi daw sa iyo ng boss mo: ‘Good job, Mike,’ sabay abot ng t-shirt ni Jennifer Lopez. Pinagbakasyon ka din daw as regalo ng opisina kaso na-delay daw yung alis dahil may bagyo. Binigyan ka ni Abet ng consolation, ng CD ni – guess who – Rick Astley. Kinuha mo daw, pero binigay mo daw sa iba yung CD.”
putaragis.
una sa lahat, hindi ako mahilig maglalagay ng kung anu-anong cream sa pagmumukha ko, astringent lang pero hindi cream.
pangalawa, hinding-hindi siguro ako bibigyan ng t-shirt ni J-Lo ng boss ko.
pangatlo, at higit sa lahat, kung bibigyan man ako ni Abet ng CD ni Rick Astley, eh HINDI KO YUN IBIBIGAY SA IBA – pwede akong mag-burn ng kopya, pero AKIN ANG ORIGINAL.
ganito ba ang nagagawa ng sobrang ikling pagtulog?
ewan.
