INTERCONNECT 2! Saturday, January 20, 2006! Bands: Blazing Bulalakaw, Ang Bandang Shirley, Giniling Festival, Radioactive Sago Project, Paramita, Up Dharma Down. 6:30-12:30.

Yup, there was a concert in our school yesterday. I was kinda surprised since the school, being the corny sucky school that it is, finally decided to have a slightly improved school function. Anyway, before the thing started, we decided to eat out first. Original plan was in Ice Monster. Not so crowded place that we usually hang out in. But then we changed plans and decided to meet in school. I came first then I saw Karla. She wanted to go to Starbucks so I said sure. We weren't really sure where the nearest Starbucks was so we asked for directions.

Karla: Uy, tanong kaya natin kung san.
Me: Kanino? Sa kanila? (Points to a group of girls)
Karla: Taga STC ba yan?
Me: Parang hindi.
Karla: Excuse me. San yung pinakamalapit na Starbucks dito?
Girl: Malayo po. Sa Banawe po tapos dirediretso.
Me: Wow. Nakatulong yun eh.
Karla: Tara na!
Me: Malayo nga raw! (Text ni Tissa: San ka na? School na ko)
Me: (Calls Tissa) Uy, papunta kaming Starbucks. Jan pa ba car niyo? dito kami sa.. san ba to?
Karla: Calamba st. Sa may Gate 4
Me: Sigurado ka? Oi Tis, Calamba raw. Sa may Gate 4.
Tis: Sige, punta na ko
After a couple of minutes.. Tissa calls
Tis: Dito na ko sa Gate 4. San kayo?
Me: Ha? San? Nasa tapat ako ng gate
Karla: (Tawa lang)
Me: Baka gate 6! (Calls Karla gago)
Tis: Ahh sige. pano pumunta jan?
Me: Right ka.

Then we caught a ride with Tissa. Hahaha! Pakapalan na ng muka to. Yes, I'm losing my principles. I went to Starbuko. Anyway, after buying over-priced drinks, we went back to STC and met up with Kim. We walked around the Grade School grounds. Huwaw. There were lolas and mommies and daddies and kiddies. Bad move, STC.. bad move. Tsk tsk tsk. And then the stage was low and then there was a little stairs thingy in front. And in front of the stage, people were just sitting on the lawn. WTF right? But they moved away when the bands started so okay lang. Anyway, tambay muna kami while the UP concert singers were doing their thing. Tagal nga eh. Then kain muna. Then tambay ulit. Yes, ganun ka-tagal. And then the bands started. Siksik sa harap. Yup, I would squeeze through the crowd just to get up front. Heck, I'd push someone. Probably not a kid or an old lady. But someone. Pangit parin spot namin. There were two girls in front of us.. Kim's classmates.. who were one of the 'maarte types'. Mentally, I was like.. what the fuck are you doing here? And then there were 5th graders behind us who kept screaming their section to all the bands. Attention whores I tell you. First band was Blazing Bulalakaw. Parang badtrip yung vocals. No one was moving when they were playing. He told us to headbang or something. Ha? Hineheadbangan ba yan? Eh slow song yan eh. Then Ang Bandang Shirley. Ayos sila. I like them. But their songs are a little on the lovey dovey side. But I like them cause their style isn't like most of the Pinoy bands today. Yup, it pays to be unique. Then Giniling Festival. I loved them. Hahaha! Astig yung lead guitarist nila. Aliw yung isang guitarist. Long hair! Yung bassist, aliw rin. Voca... tangina. Sobrang laughtrip!

siling giniling (hah hah) siling giniling
S-I-L-I-N-G G-I-N-I-L-I-N-G!

Uh.. LSS? xD Gahahahaha!!!! Then Radioactive Sago Project. They played Baboy. Hahaha! Baboy raw ako. xD Yeah! Then.. Paramita. Er.. umalis nalang kami. We sat somewhere in the lawn. How would your feet feel if you were to stand in a crowd for hours and not be able to jump/move around? Then Tissa left. Pinapauwi na. Haha. Kim and I went back to the crowd when Up Dharma Down was playing. Er... okay lang sila. I guess. Then end na. Then uwian. Hatid si Kim kasi it's dangerous to ride a trike that late.

Guys, please please please go to the Bandfest on Feb 9. I'll be playing and our band went through a lot of shit to keep it together. So please. Haha. I need your support! xD Asenso naman guestbands eh. Although, they're not my type.. they're kind of big time bands that would attract crowds. Kjwan, Rivermaya, ChicoSci, etc. Sobrang daming pending raw. Pano ba naman kasabay ng bandfest yung Xavier Variety Show & UST Variety Show. Sino ba nagorganize nyan? Una kami!
