The best of 2007


I will be blunt and tell you there's no "Best" when it comes to 2007. Sure there were great new accomplishments here and there and the country's economy seems to be the shiznit lately. But to sum things up for me, I guess the best phrase I could think of that can describe this year would be: (In a complete Chandler voice) "Could I BE any more screwed over?" 3 love tragedies, 20 pounds and a zillion liters of alcohol later.. here I am. I say good riddance to this terrible nightmare we called 2007. Its just so fitting that Im terribly sick before the year ends. I'll give it its last hurrah. And now since I can't get off my ass to make a multiply, here are some highlights from the year.


Sh*t.. and they didnt even force me to DO this.


Even my fishes are alcoholics!


Wowie: Modern day caveman


The day the lunch box ran out of gas


You wanna know a secret? That's not really broken.. To me at least


How can I forget my monster?


FLA goes to the Meat factory


Yes, Migz.. "Big mistake"


The not-so-pangit "Pangit" sign in Estrada st.


Give 'em trash and this is what scrotums do when they're bored


Give 'em GLASSES and this is what scrotums do when they're bored


Recording at Heartfire studios


Joel smells something sour in his burger

"kapag hinati and 'Biggie' ay Diuuil.. Diuuil!"

De-blocking



I will miss having to see this view everyday from Friday until my college life's over. It may not seem like a long time, but these past 7 months have been one for the books for me and I think I've found the reason why.

I think that the reason why I tend to ponder on this situation as much as I did when I left high school is the fact that these people, like those from way before were with me when everything was so unfamiliar. These are the people you had your firsts with and shared moments together that you know you cannot replace. In essence, these people were my first impressions of the road ahead after high school and believe me, it was nothing I had ever expected.

In hindsight, if I would've known I'd ever part ways with these people, I wish we hadn't been blocked in the first place. Cause I don't wanna have to always get sentimental about the fact that when the term ends, these people will never be completely together in one room again.

To the 30 something people of DV3, Thank you. You guys were an awesome group of individuals and I'm proud to be part of it. And now we're off to bigger fishes to fry.

"In the raw" standout track of the week: Six feet under



I have to admit, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I'd be speaking on the radio talking to the rest of the country about something that I was a part of. And for that, I thank you all for tuning in to NU107.5's "In the raw" last December 9 and for making our song "Six feet under" the standout track of the week. I didn't even think they'd be playing it extensively for the rest of the week. I guess I didn't know what a standout track meant! But I honestly felt a sense of accomplishment the moment my family heard the song on the radio on the way to Makati last week. I guess you can say it was a way of showing my family how much effort me and the band have put into earning a living out of it this past year. And so off we go to greener pastures. Once again, thank you for tuning in.
