Hey Dennis,

I have a new laptop! And that means that a very arduous migration of gigabytes worth of Music was in order. Unfortunately, my brother had no plans of keeping any of my music in the old laptop (enacting turnover rights, etc). And more unfortunately, when I descended upon him to collect my […]

I have been going around Mindanao and have had little time to be in front of the computer in the most comfortable blogging position (which I argue is absolutely necessary, as I’m sure some of you might agree)! Moreover, I have been struggling to get some music back into my system at late since […]

Here’s a video of Alanis Morisette’s cover of The Black Eyed Peas‘ song “My humps”. I’m shunning comments about how much a lot of people dislike this song. I just think it’s ridiculously brilliant. It’s a parody of how insipid songs, videos and pop culture can get. And the touch that […]

I should probably be embarrassed but I actually am not. I love Marit Larsen’s new single, Don’t save me. It doesn’t sound M2M-ish at all, plus maybe I’d count it as poppier Mazzy Star or maybe not Mazzy Star, but something that’s Sixpence non the richer-ish. I love pop! Wow. […]

I’ve never heard of Party Punk before I joined my new band. So there really is such a thing. I had my first gig with them last night at Frissan’s, which really isn’t saying much because I think I suck. Heh. Self-ridicule is the best promotion ever. I hope Davao hears […]

My DJ friend Meeko introduced Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill acoustic album which commemorated the 10th anniversary of her 13-tracked album that once sold 30 million, and once won her a Grammy. (Who wouldn’t want to commemorate that?) It doesn’t have the same edgy and angsty tone to Alanis, but she’s 30-something now so what’s […]

It felt like 80’s today, and paradoxically, I didn’t feel too young. This morning, I discovered my first white hair followed by not hitting it off too well with an old schoolmate who “confronted” me because I “interfered” with her affairs, i.e. correct her grammatical lapses in a friendster message. A lot of […]

I do this sometimes: I go around Davao city and walk in to music stores and start “checking the merchandise”. What I actually end up doing is playing a guitar on display. Sometimes, I get inquisitive looks as to whether I decide to buy the guitar or not. Most of the […]

Aha. What has been keeping me lately, eh? I’m reportedly busy enduring a noble position that leaves people to refer to me as a Deputy Chief Adjudicator, which really shouldn’t impress anyone if you only know me too well. For weeks now, I have been training a promising batch of newbie debaters and […]
