I Miss This.
Nakakamiss tumugtog sa banda. Namimiss ko na tumugtog in public. I had/have a few bands from highschool and college and i really want to be active again. Yung mga pagpractice ng buong gabi, pagpupuyat, pagjam sa bahay, sa studio, everything. Yung mga times na may magbbackout sa isa sa mga bandmates ng last minute dahil something came up tapos magpapanic sa paghahanap ng kapalit for the next day. Yung days na nagmamadali kang umalis ng school, at minsan may hindi papasukan na class, para umabot sa gig tapos di naman pala magsstart agad. Yung mga times na tutugtog daw kami in katipunan ng wala masyadong pratice, to find out na auditions pala yun for nescafe soundschool. SAYANG YUN. Yung mga times na kelangan ko magdala ng quezon city atlas kasi di ko alam daan papunta sa isang bar sa makati from Ust. Hindi ko talaga inaakalang makakatugtog ako sa Saguijo. Yung pagtugtog sa med audi, sa pnoval court, pag compete sa mga battle. Yung may kakausap sa band to play for their event after nyo magplay. EVERYTHING.
This is the time of the year na magkakaron ulit ng "Awit Pinoy". Eto yung battle ng Faculty of Engineering ng Ust na organized ny One Voice engineering chorale. The past two years ko in engineering, sumali kami dito with my band "Engbrace". Nabuo namin yung band na to specifically para sa battle na yun and every year, luckily, for two years, nakakapasok kami sa auditions and to the finals. Nung first time namin, hindi kami nanalo but the second time, 1st runner up kami. Hindi champion pero we got the best interpretation award. :) Hinihintay nalang namin na magannounce ang onevoice kung kailan auditions para makapaghanda na. But were facing many problems ngayon palang, Our vocalist already graduated, our drummer transferred to another university, bawal ang outsiders sa event na to, and for me, di pa magaling ulnar nerve injury ko. NAKAKAASAR. Kung ano pa yung hand na kelangan ko for playing, yun pa nainjure. I got it from my left femur (bone sa thigh) fracture operation. Tigin nila, naipit ugat ko sa kamay during operation, which is verry unusual, o kung ano, di pa rin sure. I can play parin naman pero sobrang limited ko ngayon. So ayun, magulo. Sana makahanap ng bandmates for that event, sana gumaling na tong kamay ko. And hopefully makasali kami and win the event! :)
onga pala, about sa injury ko, may mga narealize kasi ako. Nakuha ko yung injury ko sa pag lolongboard na dalawang araw ko palang ginagawa, eh nabali na agad left femur ko. Sabi ng doktor ko, hindi usual yun kasi yung injury ko, nakukuha lang in car accidents and falls from high places. basta ayun, pati kamay ko nadamay. Mahabang proseso at marami akong pinagdaanan. basta yun. After ilang days pagkalabas ko ng hospital, nagpunta ako sa 1st philippine international jazz and blues festival and nagparaffle sila ng Gibson Les Paul 60's tribute, 100% Legit. Nung narinig kong may raffle, i got excited. Pero sabi kelangan both days ng concert, pinanood mo, in my case, 2nd day lang ako nanood. After a while, inanounce na pwde bumili ng ticket nung first day event for the sake lang na makasali. Ayun sumali ako. Nanalo. Ngayon, I Have a Gibson Les Paul in my Possesions. Sobrang dream ko yun. Eto na siguro yung way ni God para sabihin sakin na wag na ko magdagdag ng ibang hobby, na magitara nalang ako, na dun nalang ako magfocus at wag na maglongboard. Ayun, ngayon nabenta ko na longboard ko (na two days lang ginamit) kahit nanghihinayang ako. Pero hindi siguro talaga para sakin yun. I have to focus on other things.
I miss "Praedana", "Engbrace", "MangChester United", at kung ano mang band names nung iba. :))
well, ganun siguro talaga, minsan nagiging busy sa ibang bagay, sa school. Mahirap din kayang isabay sa pagaaral ng engineering ang pagbabanda lalo na kung gusto mong gawing full time.
Here are some of our videos. um, halos lahat pala yan. haha. sorry ang dami ng nakapost dito, sobrang miss ko na kasi.
PRAEDANA: (yung iba same songs lang, iba iba lang ng events. haha)

After looking back at these, ngayon ko lang narealize na sobrang nageenjoy ako everytime na tumutugtog kami as a band, na kahit walang bayad yung mga gigs at kami pa gagastos madalas for that, sobrang sulit parin. Na hindi ko pala kayang bitawan yung hobby kong ito kahit siguro after ko grumaduate, magtrabaho, magkaroon ng pamilya, numipis ang buhok, mawalan ng buhok, at hanggang magexpire ako. Hahahahaha. I Love Music! :)
