Two Forty-Five AM
Just got home from 2 gigs. Cholo’s been quite the temp drummer. Interesting how some of the songs start to sound like prog towards the end, but that’s his finger in the mix and it seems that all the other 3 drummers we’ve worked with the past week have prog in their veins. I suppose [...]

Can’t Eat, Can’t Sleep
Though it’s more of the latter.
So today I went to Ateneo to hold a small talk of sorts with Toti for the Atenean Musician’s Pool. It was fun, the questions were very interesting, the students were very warm and receptive. I remember guesting as a speaker years ago (my memory skips if it were some [...]

Scorpions
[Braude, 1965]
A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. “Are you mad?” exclaimed the turtle. “You’ll sting me while I’m swimming and I’ll drown.”
“My dear turtle,” laughed the scorpion, “if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would [...]

Finally
Okay first of all, what a SUCCESSFUL video shoot. Day 5 and its a wrap! It’s 5:09 and I just got back from Burger King with the rest of the ISK peeps and the Dharmaboys + Red.
2 things: Don’t ever order the rice meals at Burger King. Those 6 strips of bacon look really tempting [...]

Roam
Rockband. I went to Migi’s birthday party last night after the gig (of course with Mr. Slim) and stayed for a good couple of hours. I missed the Caldereta so that kind of just… sucks because that’s my favourite. Anyway, I sang Roam of The B52’s, with Slim on drums and [...]

Still
Really bad stiff neck. So bad I could resemble a block of ice from the head down to the shoulders. I don’t know how this happened because I wasn’t sleeping when I got this, I was standing waiting for my turn to take the shots and then my neck just started freezing from there.
The look [...]

Happy Birthday to Yous
Sunday afternoon.
My friend Baki says, “Armi does not endorse happy.” He is correct. There is only dry humour and sarcasm (unfortunately) and then there’s 2 minutes of silly dancing.
In other news, I’m getting ready for the Taya video shoot in Las Pinas. Yes, Paul’s hometown! It’s his birthday today, too so greet him. Ean’s birthday [...]

Closest Thing to Heaven
Don’t get your pinoy dude hungry!
“When one and one and one make two
I know I’m high because I’ve captured you”

Minsan
…ang sabi niya sa akin sandali nalang?
Patawad sa hindi nakaka-intindi ng wikang Pilipino. Ito lang ang paraan, at wala akong balak na isalin ito sa ingles.
Minsan sumasagi sa isip ko kung gaano ka-sama si Maling Akala. Serial killer siya. Madalas niyayari niya yung mga taong sigurado sa buhay at alam ang gagawin. Wala siyang pakialam [...]

Back Where We Started
Its 10:30 am and I just got up. Reached out for my closet and pulled out a sweater I haven’t used in 2 years. IT IS SO COLD.
But yes I do need some sun. I think my skin is three times lighter now than it used to be when I was still in school. Some [...]
