Here it Comes!

The 2008 Siege Tour is ever so closer now!In a day's time actually!Im blogging about it now because my bandmates and I will be going early to Manila tomorrow to do some last minute jamming with our session bassist, Conrad who sings for Boy Elroy and plays bass for Plane Divides the Sky both of which will also play on the tour.We just hope we cover everything we need to deliver great sets for the tour.Then we'll (try to) get a good night's sleep and in the morning we'll be on our way to the first stop of the tour (Quezon Province I think) and hopefully we'll have a great start. Pray for us guys!Pray that the tour goes smoothly and that it will be one of the greatest tours EVAAH!!!

New Breed of Crapheads!

So, after going thru hell from losing my cellphone to a pickpocket you'd think I could move on and hope for better things. Well, I did move on a little bit. I decided to use my old Globe sim for a while and everything went well until I found out some Sh*thead found a way to steal my load! And he (or maybe even she) even had the nerve to text me and insult me and even sent crap messages to my girlfriend! So I trashed that sim and bought a new and authentic one from the Globe shop and I found out that I wasn't the only victim of these load thieves! Turns out Globe has a hole in their system and they still don't know how to prevent these hackers from stealing our cellphone loads. Well Im using the new Globe sim now but im being careful on how im loading it up. You gotta be careful with where you get your prepaid loads. The safest way would be to just buy prepaid cards instead of getting autoloads at some corner store or street stall. But it's still not an assurance. I guess to survive something like this you just have to have a backup sim ready preferably from another network. Well hope you all learned something from this informative entry of mine. Believe me, it's based on experience!Be safe!

Chaos!

What an unforgettable weekend, especially for me. We played the Red horse Rakrakan gig last saturday at Kublai's in Katipunan. The place was packed!So many kids were in the mosh pit that it got so friggin hot that you'd lose a couple of pounds from sweating while trying to get to the restrooms. Unfortunately I lost more than that on the way to pee. Amidst the freakingly crowded floor were vultures of thieves. On the way to the restroom someone stole my beloved cellphone! What hassle! What an asshole whoever that was who took it! And how stupid of me to be so careless! Well I can at least be sure on one thing, mamamatay din yung kumuha!!!...someday hehe. Well my phone wasn't really that flashy,what made it priceless was that it was a birthday gift from my girlfriend. And it just feels terrible to lose something so imporant to me, well like I said MAMAMATAY din yun! At least we still played an awesome set, the kids were awesome too.Singing and moshing to our songs. Sorry to that one kid who wanted my pick, I would've given it to you if you didn't try to steal it from my hand while I was still playing! Have some respect bro! But despite all that happened, I'd still play an event like that. It was still an awesome night! Thanks to our friends who cheered me up that night! You still Rock! And to all who read this blog, you rock the most! Thank you! See you on the SIEGE TOUR!!!
