Surigao!
Damn man! I haven't touched that soil in nearly eight years. It felt great to return to such a great place. I was still young when I last went there but the feel of the atmosphere had a different touch to it that always stuck out of my mind. I went to Surigao to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. I'll tell you, some things had definitely changed in the city. the boom in the population of multi-cabs ("wackies" as my brother refers to it) in the city had surprised me. I had the chance to ride in one of them since my uncle owned one of those cute little pick-up trucks. It wasn't what you would consider fast, but it takes you places. The landscape of Borromeo street, the place where our store stands has had a major facelift. The store was now part of a chain of stores in one building and contained a cellshop being run by my aunt. I finally had a chance to stroll down the strip which included "Luneta" and "Jerry's shopper's world"(J.S.W.). When I was a kid, I never had a chance to walk in any of those place but now that Im a lot older than way back then, I took the liberty of checking out what I missed the whole time. It was great to be there and hold things in Manila. I felt relaxed. And not since summer was I standing on top of the world...at least just for a little while.

The G3 jam: G3 live in denver
This trio is the sh*t man! I dont know what might beat the combination of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen. The three of them got their own sh*t going on, but if you mix those three combustible elements together it would make you quit playing guitars while you're ahead. Although I did suspect some poor remastering or audio mixing on the third amplifier during Vai's set and the G3 jam itself on Yngwie's guitar. You would need a sharp ear and a whole lot of volume to hear Yngwie play his "Duck" guitar. In a scale of one to five (One being the lowest and Five being the best) I give this DVD a Four. The selection of camera angles and flawless editing made the concert a much more fluid program. But the poor remastering and audio mixing made it seem like they were running towards their deadlines.

Charter change?!
According to former president Fidel V. Ramos, The way to resolve the political crisis is to under go charter change. I was watching "Breakfast" this morning and their topic was based on this. The response of the people were somewhat subtle due to the fact that most of their responses doesn't have anything to do with charter change. I found the part of the show funny because it seemed to me that the people texting in their responses never thought twice before speaking their minds. Although some had a point that it would mean a graceful exit for our current president and that a constitutional convention or a "CON-CON" would mean spending millions and millions of pesos. The parliamentary government is truly very difficult to understand. And I really don't blame them for shooting their guns with their blindfolds still on. In my opinion, The idea of a parliamentary government would be the better path. Since the thought of impeachment and resignation would lead an unpredictable future, The parliament at least gives us a clearer picture of the road ahead.

Iya is P.H.A.T.
Pretty, hot and tempting is an understatement man! And for the love of God Luigi, her name's Raelene! Would it help if I refer to her as Raelene? Some men just don't grow up do they? Anyway, If you don't already know this lovely lady you've been living under a rock. Obviously, I've just given her name but the rest of us know her simply as Iya Villania. Damn! she's all I've ever watched this summer! If you ask anyone (Except Luigi you jackass!) in the band, you're probably gonna get the same answer. Either her or Cytherea but their both hot. I really don't know about the rest of you but I really think she's really pretty. Believe me, I've had arguments with my sister, mother and Neil about that like I was defending some sort of thesis. I rarely get to watch her shows lately, due to the fact that I've been trying to study. But nonetheless, her beauty to me never fades. Drew, That lucky bastard!

Keep it to yourself*
I don't think it's right for me to really care right about now. What I'm about to write right now doesn't have the least bit of me being involved but it's eating me inside like maggots on rotten meat. I just got off of a party awhile ago. I didn't eat much and drank which buzzed me little. I was still capable of doing my Mr.Big song though (To my amazement) but despite the festivities and booze I can't help but notice something. As anyone who has ever had contact with me know, I've been obsessing about this particular girl for nearly three years. It's not only about two weeks and three friends ago that I decided I'd let the hammer down for good. It felt liberating having let go of the anguish I've had to deal with. I also have this friend who's also one of my good friends by the way who I remember way back two years ago promised me nothing would come between us. I trusted him alot (And I still do) but what I was seeing earlier wasn't really worth painting a picture of. I saw them holding hands and I dont really know if that meant any implications on absolutely anything. I know this doesn't concern me and I don't think it ever will. I have no idea why I'm dwelling on this moment and I've decided not to do anything about it. Keeping it to myself..

Wowie's take on the political situation
FOR PETE'S SAKE CAN EVERYBODY JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP FOR ONE SECOND! I probably have not much experience in politics (and probably so as the people rallying in the streets) but can everybody and most especially the motherf*ckin' opposition just shut the f*ck up for just one second? This tape's been bothering not just our political stability, but our economic stability as well. Instead of making things better, the opposition (who are probably running with the devil, by the way) are just making a ruckus and shaking things up. You know they're right about GMA's voice being heard on that f*ckin' wiretapping tape (Which is f*ckin' illegal) and she admits to it. But who do you think can be a better leader than GMA? Im addressing this question to all the f*cking activists, Opposition leaders and everybody else against the government. Y'all want reform and want to change our leader, but then I ask you how are you so f*cking sure that the man you are wanting to put to office can actually lead this sinking country?! You people think you're so smart and that you people don't actually see changes in the country. She might've cheated but I can tell that she's better than that penguin-walking, lying and stealing president named Erap the opposition wanted to put in office a couple of years back. Any half-witted filipino like that of rallyists in this country can be president. It just takes a couple more half-witted filipinos who'll believe anything to vote for them. If you people are so wise and so good, why don't you try running this f*ckin' country? There's a saying by the way that says "If you want something done, do it yourself" I really can't take the bullsh*t they say through those megaphones. Sometime's I'd wish that they'd all lose their voices from all that trash talking. You f*ckin' pendejos don't know half of the burden the presidents past and present have had to deal with. So shut the f*ck up you f*ckin' know-it-all's. Got a problem?! Sue me!

Head's spinning*
If I were to rate last week, I'd probably give it a six. It was somewhat good at the latter parts. Last friday was also somewhat good. We got to play. But paying to play really doesn't qualify as a gig, does it? I feel really pathetic about that whole incident. We're the one's supposed to be paid. Not the other way around! Also, alot of action and possibly de-flowering took place last friday.(Just possibly)But I guess what bothered me the whole week was I think I was developing a strong infatuation with a girl close to me. You're probably wondering, why not go for it? You know,I would've but the fact that this girl already had this thing with one of my friends made this all the more hard. I could've told my friends (and her) about this last friday. But I was stuck with the question: "Do I tell these people and possibly ruin our relationships or keep this to myself to the point that my head's about to explode?" Initially, I opted for plan A. Hoping that maybe some of the stress might be relieved. But in the end, fate chose plan B and Im hauling my ass through the door and back to Alabang. I missed the sensation of longing and anticipation but I hated having the thought of obsession and anxiety at the same time. Don't be misled. Im not trying to be pessimistic. It's just that the odds are heavily stacked upon me that it's hard just to put a smile on. It still proves true today but I feel better now.
