Hello again.

Ang tagal ko nang hindi nakapagblog. Ang dami ko nang kuwento. Subukin kong isa-isahin mamaya.

Ang weird ng pakiramdam ko ngayon. Parang ang lungkot. Di ko alam kung may rason ako para malungkot, pero ganun eh. Tama nga siguro nanay ko, sumpungin daw ako.

*sigh*

Sige, magkukuwento na lang ako.

Feb 25, Wednesday.

Woke up at 8:30 in the morning. I got a full 8-hour sleep, thanks to medical science. I did some auditing and inventory checking of merchandise to be sold that night at Millennia for Last Full Show.

Nico dropped by in the afternoon. He worked on his database project on the laptop while I made pasta. (Yeyeyeah, nagluto po ako. Favor for my mom who was holding her regular prayer meeting here at home.) Tuna & vegetable in olive oil thingy. It's the only thing I know, aside from frying things in cooking oil. Masarap daw sabi ni Nico, pero siguro biased lang siya.

We left the house at quarter to seven. Nico went to Kinema practice and I went to National to get some masking tape before heading for Millennia.

Ayun, trabaho night. Manned the merch table near the door. Nico dropped by after choir practice. Went home at one in the morning, tired and irritable.

I didn't get to go online because my stupid ISP was down (since the day before pa). I don't remember what else happened except that I spent most of the night on the phone.

Feb 27, Friday.

Woke up in a panic. Matilda was going to play at the UST Chalk Festival. Met up with Nico at Ministop Katips because I was going to be late if I had to commute. Picked up Meh at 3pm. Got stuck in traffic. Arrived at UST 4:45pm. (Tae talaga.)

Matilda EPs were sold out by the time they finished playing. (I underestimated the crowd and brought only 14 cds, bummer.) Ang init ng pagtanggap sa amin ng crowd sa Chalk Festival. Marami rin kasing mga taga-ibang schools sa UST at the time.

We left UST at around 6pm. Car stuffing ang drama namin sa kotse ni Nico. Grabe pa ang traffic. We went through the bowels of Sampaloc, Manila. Ang palengke dun hanggang kalye ang tinda. Sabi nga ni Nico baka 'drive-thru palengke' ang gusto nilang mangyari. Quarter to seven na nang makarating kami sa UP.

Matilda played acoustic at UP NIGS for the College of Science Students' Week. Yvette went home to sleep so they played without her. Jovi used her nice new cajon. In-interview sila ni Clarie for Chalk magazine pagkatapos ng gig.

Nico and I waited for Clarie to convoy with her to Freedom Bar (for Narda's gig @ the Dumagat Benefit), but we had to leave without her because she had to stay to wait for the spare car key (her driver locked the car key inside tsk tsk).

Freedom Bar. One word: HASSLE. We got there in a huff. The rest of Narda were there 9:20 pm for the interview before the gig. (I told them what happened to Clarie.) Tas naurong pa ang sked namin na originally 9:40 pm to sometime after 12 midnight. Ubos na ang lakas at pasensya ko.

After the Chalk interview, Nico and I passed by Millennia for the Ciudad launch (which was over by the time we got there). I wanted to trade my Sandwich shirt with new stock from Mike D but he ran out of the same color and design. Sayang. Pero okay lang, kasi nakausap ko sandali si Pancho ng HindiLabel.

Anyway, I was just so tired and frustrated, by the time we parked in front of my house at 2am I was crying my eyes out.

Feb 28, Saturday.

Unplugged my phone line, diverted all my cell phone calls and cried until 6am. Ampanget ko.

Dumaan si Nico ng alas-otso ng umaga pero di ko siya nakita (my mom was pissed kasi di raw ako gumising nung dumating siya). Bumalik naman si Nico rito pagkatapos ng exam niya sa database at natulog kami sa couch hanggang alas-4 ng hapon.

Pumunta kami sa birthday dinner ni Camille (Happy birthday, Camille!). Ang sarap sarap ng food! Nico had to leave early for a Kinema event though. Nagkita na lang kami ulit sa Millennia (Narda gig @ Mos Eisley Imperial Prom Night).

We stayed until Boldstar's set, went home and called it a night.

Feb 29, Sunday.

Putol-putol na tulog hanggang hapon. My kabarkada who is based in Singapore was here for the weekend, may get-together kami sa Antipolo. I waited for Nico to come over and pick me up (he had a wedding choir gig and then watched PBA at Araneta), malapit lang kasi rito 'yung house ng friend ko.

Okay naman. I missed my friends. We talked about travelling, movies, pirated DVDs, reality TV shows and relationships. Pa-inom-inom. Tas ang cute ng boypren ko. Hehehe... ;-)

Mabalik naman ako sa ngayon. Di ko naipost agad itong entry ko kasi biglang tumawag 'yung friend ko na taga-UP Underground Music Community, gusto akong magconsign ng mga cds na meron ako. May-I-rush to UP tuloy ako, deadma kung may strike ang mga sasakyan o wala.

Sinundo ako ni Nico sa CASAA at nagdinner kami sa Wham! Burger tas umuwi na rin kami pagkatapos ng matinding traffic sa Katipunan-Libis area.

Ayan. Isang tambak na karanasan. *whew* Ang haba na nito hehehe...
