It's been years since I last went to yupangco and I must say they finally made important changes. The showroom's better. The fine collection of Fenders were great! Being a fan of the Fender brand, it was nice to be around so many models especially the signature series models. I didn't bother testing some coz I didn't want to waste the time and energy of the salespeople cuz I don't want to buy at this time. hehehe

I'm currently fixing the xmas gifts for people. kinda late but hey...

It's quite a sacrifice selling my Korg synth to finance a guitar purchase but it had to be made :( The synth could find a better home since I don't get to use it anymore. It's just sad I have to let it go since it's part of my collection. Maybe in a few years I'd make it up and get a better one to replace that.

My concern these days is how to get the gifts to my friends since I'll be leaving soon for davao for the holidays!!!

Lovecore will be playing tom night at 9mile bar along kalayaan ave. see ya!

the weekend that was...

Friday...

Went with Bernice for her Highschool informal reunion dinner in Multinational. It was ok since I've known a lot of her batchmates from before so it was just like going out with my friends as well. Lotsa food... I couldn't stop myself actually and my tummy's a testament to that.

Oh yeah traffic was so bad that day esp in alabang

Saturday...

Drove off to Sta Rosa for Our drummer's daughter's 1st birthday party. We all know those parties are adult parties cuz the baby hardly knows what's happening. It was a great road trip going there and the food was great... kainan nanaman. My tummy's happy hehe It was also the first time I saw their new house so it was great to finally make the trip.

Since it was in Sta rosa, Bernice and Ola da manager decided to team up and sweet talk me into going to Tagaytay. I was in shorts and I didn't bring any jacket... did they care? NO!! I had no choice so I ended up going to Paseo de sta rosa to buy a jacket at one of the outlet stores there and was able to find a decent Nike jacket. We then proceeded to the trip listening to a Rex Navarette CD going up and went to this place, which I forgot the name hehe Bernice just wanted to go there. She bought 2 rings, we hung out and enjoyed the cold air, took pictures, and when the venue closed the lights on the viewing deck, we went straight to Breton to finish the evening with food again! hehe Left the place around 1am...

Sunday...

Steady as always. I woke earlier than usual since I was tired from driving the night before and I had time to swing by SM to see where I could use the Gift certificate I got but I didn't find anythin I liked haha Proceeded to church, dinner at CPK, then watched The Day The Earth Stood Still... nabitin ako sa movie na yun.

ayun. hahaha nothing to promote here just bloggin...

Been a while... gigs and new ads I've done

As I mentioned in the title, it's been a while. I haven't been able to update my blog and I sound like a broken record saying I feel bad about it. I always think about maintaining updates but I never get around to doing it...

Anyway, for all the cebuanos, I'll be there to do a show for SINULOG along with Neon8 and Couchlab so I hope to see you guys there. I'm hoping to finally revive my live set. Been very busy with work...

I recently just finished all (except for 1 cuz I had to go to baguio) the GMA christmas ads for the ff...

Aji
Fitrum
C2
Mr. Donut
KFC
Smart
Goldilocks
Solmux
UFC ketchup

I also did an Efficascent ad but I'm not sure if it's included in that.

It was quite a task finishing those that I had 2 17 hour days to do them. I was literally glued to my seat. I had other "easier" days. But it was worth it.

in other news, Lovecore recently played in Mall of Asia... Last wed to be exact. This was for the No Limits event of my church, New Life. Sitti played. Kitchie played. Jericho played... masaya... We didn't have Reg with us though coz he had work so it was quite a stretch for us to play as a trio. Hirap.

We had to leave right after the set though cuz we had to rush to the wolfgang album launch... WE DIDN'T MAKE IT!!!! Wasted money if you ask me... paid for ticket and gas and we ended up with nothing... Good thing they were selling the new batch of Razorback shirts so it was the highlight of the night.

Anyway, I'm off to makati.

Thanks for reading. God bless!

Shopping to Burn After Reading

spent the day with Bernice and decided to go to Festival Mall to have a change of atmosphere since we're mostly in Town Center. I had a feeling it would be quite "scary" today in the sense that we'd both end up shopping and we did hehehe She ended up buying a pair of boots at Nine West and I just bought some shirts in Giordano and one at a sale in Armani Exchange. Our last stop was in Puma where I was checking out this pair of shoes and I couldn't try it out cuz I didn't have any socks on. I didn't want to try anything without socks (I think everybody shouldn't hehe) So I rushed to Robinsons to buy socks and headed back to Puma to try em on. Unfortunately, they only had only one pair for my size which had poor quality control (for that size only. I'm not dissing puma cuz I love the brand). I didn't want to settle. Good thing I was eyeing this black jacket (cuz I needed one) so I decided to spend my money where it's worth it.

Berns wanted to watch a movie at Town Center so we drove there and saw Burn After Reading. I was quite hesitant at first coz a friend of mine said it sucked. I LOVED IT! hehehe

Anyway, it was my rest day cuz my weekend was more like a "weakend'  since we had out Lovecore photoshoot then I had to drive to Los banos for a function, head back to Manila at 7am then go to church in the evening and head to a stag party of a friend which I organized with friends. It was great to finally spend the day with Berns and just be "lazy" and just enjoy the day.

Today, I guess I'll be  back working on the album again. I'm now waiting for some windows updates to finish coz my computer's actin up so I'm doing updates hoping to fix it.

So there...

Don't forget the gig on the 29th in Festival Mall Alabang!

Help my band, Lovecore

We're about to launch our single on the airwaves and we're asking help from anyone who may know anyone in radio stations if you can help us out. We're doing this the indie way so we're just relying on the help of friends because we don't want to pay anyone (payola) just to get airplay. We want the music to speak for itself.

We're targeting all stations even provincial stations because we want our music to reach all corners of the country.

Aside from the single, we're also looking for potential sponsors for the album and for the band like clothing, accessory or shoe sponsors as we launch the single so we can all benefit mutually in the promotions.

We're also planning on doing the video for our single so if you're an indie filmmaker or you know anyone who wants to assist with this, it'll be greatly appreciated.

We're finally doing this so we're stretching it and calling out for assistance in any way from all our friends and contacts. Ika nga, wala nang hiya hiya...

Let me know by replying or texting me at 09175004517

This is the season God has prepared for us. It took time for us to get here but we're grateful at the chance to be doing this and to be a blessing in the process.

Thanks in advance for any help big or small. God bless.

tele blah

I just paid my reservation for my very first Fender Telecaster. I'm really excited because lately I've been looking at getting a Telecaster... specifically a 62 reissue since I like how it looks (yes I know we should choose the best sounding). I just love the sunburst especially the double binding. After inspecting the guitar and handing my downpayment, the excitement at getting it finally hit me. Now all I have to do is wait for a payment to come in so I can finally get the guitar.

God's just great at how he opens a window when a door closes. I was supposed to get a japanese Telecaster from someone but the seller was so hard to deal with and when signs showed about his character, I didn't have the peace to pursue the purchase so I stopped looking for a Tele. Just this week, I chanced upon an ad of the EXACT model I've always wanted and not just something I wanted to settle with like the Jap Tele. I finally get the one I like with much better value and quality.

Since I already have a couple of guitars in my collection. My girlfriend's new rule for me is to sell something I don't use or something I'm willing to part with before I buy another guitar, that's why I recently put some of my most prized synthesizers on the market to pay for the guitar. It's just a blessing I was able to find a seller VERY quickly and to be able to have the guitar reserved to me since there were so many inquiries about the tele I'm buying and some even wanted to buy it already. The seller's just plain great that he's a man of his word and stood by his since he already confirmed sale to me so it's really a "treat" more like my Christmas gift for myself haha

Anyway, I just needed to let out some of the excitement hehe

God bless

REFRACTION and then some...

See ya guys on Oct 31. That's tom near Ruins BF in D House for REFRACTION. I'll be playing along DJ Benjo Marquez and DJ Borja. My band's also playing. Yes I know it's kinda overexposed but it's all for good fun anyway so check it out... DJ's, Live electronica, Bands. Parteh! hehe

Currently listening to Michael Jackson while typing this...

Anyway, I again, failed to continue the whole blogging thing and I really hope I could at least keep this going good. At least something right?

Right now I want to find time to finish my set for tom but work again will take up my time the whole day so I dunno what I can finish. Oh well. That's life. I'm pretty excited about the new silverfilter album. I finally have the final list of songs so t's just a matter of finishing them and polishing them up. I can't wait!!! It's gonna be out this December so watch out for it.

My band, Lovecore, finally got ourselves a manager and a proper roadie so we're now one step closer to our, um, dream? hehehe Getting there. I'm confident about our manager and the move God made for this to happen and I'm pretty sure it's all gonna be rolling from now on for the band. I'm equally excited for this as well.

I'm still continuing my quest for slimming down so lately I've been eating (a little) healthy. It's a start. We have to start somewhere hehehe skipped gym the past week though so I'm hoping to get back on it soon once refraction finishes.

Oh yeah, the Electronica Manila CD is finally moving as well so expect that as well.

I'll keep this short so I won't run out of things to write haha

God bless everyone.
