PREPARING TO GO BACK...
... with many things.
Ok, ok. I haven't posted for a while... Sendoh's external MODEM broke due to excessive takedowns [lagi nalalaglag ng matanda dito pag natatabig sa telepono]. SO i guess some people here misses me, especially my bestfriend Jeremaster who is constantly checking out my site if ever i did an update or not [tol manlibre ka naman jan]. Anyways sorry for the delay, but i guess i'm back to blurt out some of my "b!tchings and bullsh!ts" if that's what some of you want to call it.
I'll be going back to Abu Dhabi this March... so i'll be leaving RevEp and Armada behind for approximately 2 months and it WONT exceed. I'll be back for them. I'll just serve my time there and leave [parang statement ng preso amf]. My mom recommended me to come there for a vacation since i stopped school again because of my continuous failures [i failed BTW]. I guess i'll be needing that to wind up my mind and rehabilitate myself for two months. Smoking habits' getting worse. Anyway, i already have some plans when i get there. My mom will be coming here the first of March and hopefully we'll be leaving after two weeks.
But before i actually go there, theer are some things i would like to finish [but NOT end] with Armada and RevEp. My last live with Armada before i leave is next week @ Reia's event [ung Final Fantasy chuva] and i haven't prepared yet. I need to work on my fingers so i'd look good [even just for once] with my critic(s) [mahirap ng masabihan ng mayabang... ok na suplado wag lang mayabs].
While i know what i can do with my ears, i know that there are lots of people there much better than i am. It's a fact, it always was. I know i'm not so-a-great lead guitar player [nagsisimula pa lang ako] but please don't think we're giving credit to ourselves [especially myself]. It's not taking credit, it's just being "plain happy" with the output. The band don't usually talk about the output positively but not also depressingly, so i post on what i think with things over here... fairly and freely. At least give me someplace where i can express our accomplishments. I know you're good so let's... just stay with that, ok? ^^,
Leaving that behind, i'll be breaking my bonds with SuspenDead for once regarding the bass... just this once. I'll need to play the bass for one song [Paradise Kiss' "Lonely in Gorgeous"] since i'm concerned about my student Ian's current finger stamina. The basslines were repetitive, thus using your 2 fingers alternating presses in only a single lo-hi octave pattern... and from my experience it REALLY is tiring. And since she'll be one of those that'll sing the song, i'll take her place and play the bass. It's just one song then after that we'll be both back with our respective instruments.
But it's weird that some sensation fills me whenever i play the bass... no, seriously. I think i get more excited playing while on bass than the guitar. Maybe because it was my first band instrument, i dunno. But it looks like i enjoy it a lot.
So let me savour that feeling again. It's just a single song anyway.
Oh, well... i think SuspenDead won't care anyway since it's already dead. The former band decided to abandon the name and go up with a new one: FrolicNight. No biggie, but i think the meaning shows obviously: "Masayang Gabi...". I haven't seen them play yet, though i've met Vic unexpectedly at last. The name doesn't have that usual impact but you'll never know... be sure to watch out for them play.
But i'd be happier if they retained the name SuspenDead... it already had a punching name with some regular audience just after i left the band. Audiences were talking about the band during their last gig in Mayrics' España with Sendoh. Meaning it really had the potential to hit from underground. Too late for that to be realized just now, i guess.
RevEp is currently INACTIVE. So there's nothing much to say. I'm waiting on when'll we be making my "despedida practice". One thing i'll make sure, though. By the time i go there i'll still continue working on with new concepts if there should be any [i can't think of doing anything to fastforward time]. Speaking of concepts, i made Ian's song Imperfect Perspective a tune and now it's by far the closest application to our target output. Well, that's what Edsel said. I made a copy with my voice on it so Edsel would be familiar with the tone of the vocs i made.
I'll try to post something in the later days for the countdown. I don't have the exact date of my departure yet. Until then i'll be counting my last few remaining days.
No worries... i'll be back.
* And look who's back on his blogger blurting out again. ^^,
Ah... i've got a teaser for you about Pacquiao/Morales' ad for SMB. Look on my Friendster account. It should be there. If ever i'll be posting it over here, too so be sure to wait for it.
