In the span of my vacation at Tablas Island, Romblon with Sha, Vieve and Ivan, I took Alaxan Forte to relieve the pain. I was only able to eat pancit, soup and others that needs little effort to be able to chew, swallow and digest. As soon as I arrived at home yesterday, I went to the dentist to have it checked up. Then, I have to take medication an hour prior to the operation (impaction). Afterwards, my cousin accompanied me to the dentist for my operation. It was a bloody operation really but it was not really that painful. I guess this is because that the left side of my lips, gums and cheeks were numb. After the operation, I bought some pain relievers and ice cream. (more…)

This is my nephew Justin

Yes, I am still 20-something. I just passed the so-called quarter-life crisis stage. To make things less obvious, here’s some math equation for you:

1/4 x (100) + 1^100

Gone are the days that my parents spend money on my birthday party. So, I treated them at Big Buddha at Greenbelt 3 yesterday since it was a holiday and because I have work today. (more…)

Anyway, it was too late when I learned of Karl Roy’s Benefit Concert. In case you do not know, Karl Roy suffered a number of strokes. More details about this issue may be read in Jim Ayson’s blog post.

Karl Roy is one of the most prolific icons in the Pinoy rock scene. He’s the vocalist of the band Kapatid. The track being featured in this podcast is the song Luha which is included in Kapatid’s second album (Luha) that was released in 2006. I do hope that Karl Roy will get well soon.

Ria of Paramita at 2007 UP Fair

I was able to attend this year’s UP Centennial Fair. Anyway, I really did not expect that the line will be really long. We were in line for more than an hour and was able to start food tripping there even before entering the fair grounds. Anyway, we should have expected the long line because the last day had a great line up even if we weren’t able to finish it. We were outside the fair grounds when Paramita, Datu’s Tribe, Up Dharma Down, Giniling Festival, etc. performed. We were only able to catch the performances of Sugarfree, Cambio, Moonstar88, Chicosci, Slapshock, Greyhoundz, Ursa Minor, Intolerant (heard them for the first time), etc. Anyway, I was not able to take pictures of these bands because there were a lot of people. I would not want to risk myself going in front of the mosh pit. Hehe.

UPDATE: Pictures are already on my multiply. Click here.

There was a rally last Friday at Ayala Avenue. I did not join in the rally but I was able to witness some parts of it. Prior to the start of the rally, me, Sha, Vien, Joms, and their colleague bumped into Atty. Raymond Fortun. The part of Ayala Avenue between Rufino and Paseo De Roxas Sts. were empty of vehicles. Atty. Fortun had us posed. He asked us to jump (yes, a jump shot!). He also asked us to pose behind the railings with a sad face. Hehe. It was during that time that I’ve learned that he is into photography. I am still waiting to check out the photos he took in the rally last Friday.

Happy New Year everyone ! The year 2007 was full of transitions, I’d say. In April 2007 alone, Narda held their last gig at Saguijo and 6 Underground (my favorite gig place) bade goodbye too. And of course, if one says farewell, a new one would also say hello like The Vince Noir Project last June 2007. In the year 2007, I was only able to attend one album launch, and that album launch was Sino Sikat’s debut album held at Hard Rock Cafe last July 2007. Also, the only NU event that I got to attend this year was at Saguijo last November. (more…)

If you are not are not fond of planners and you are into cute stuff and loves coffee at the same time, you could get one of these Coffee Beanies at Gloria Jean’s. All you need is to get a card from Gloria Jean’s and order 4 Large drinks to get one of these. The pink unicorn that looks like a crossbreed of a pig and a unicorn is a must have! It’s cute yet it looks strange. Hehe.
