Eraserheads reunion concert 2008 - concert live recording PART 1 ( frist 20 minutes)

August 31, 2008

I just recorded the whole concert and this is the first 20 minutes of the concert of Eraserheads, the audio quality is low and bad, since my Creative Zen mp3 recorder can capture live audio and sounds that is near to it, but saving this will keep the event immortalized digitally.

I also placed a photostory, but its my first time to use it and haven’t edited it in my best.
will revise this and re-upload it for everyone.

here’s the recorded audio of the 1st 20 minutes of the concert

Eraserheads Reunion Concert (Panghihinayang)

August 31, 2008

Wish my sister and I could be there but since Marlboro backed out, the frenzy of ticket sales and venue resets were just too crazy for us. Good thing MTV Philippines stepped in when they did or else a riot of E-heads fans would have burned a Marlboro effigy everywhere in the country. The ticket prices were very reasonable, costing just around 800php and 1300php. But then again, I wish we were free from commitments that night or we could have been seen egging our way into the slam pits, if there were any.

UCC Cafe Terrace

August 31, 2008

I try not to pass up an invite for coffee on any day. Couple that with a trip to a famous mall that I have been longing to go to and I have an excuse to wake up early on a saturday and drive all the way to Trinoma in Quezon City.

It was a glaring hot saturday when my husband and I went for coffee at UCC Cafe Terrace in Trinoma. This is I think the third time I went to UCC. I can clearly remember the two other times I did. One was during an office meeting and another for a team lunch. Both in the Paseo Center branch in Makati. Both times were truly enjoyable and I recall - I thought, expensive.

Traffic Kills

August 31, 2008

Life is too short for traffic.
- Dan Bellack

I was walking down Manila City Hall last night when I noticed an emergency ambulance helplessly stuck in traffic with its sirens wailing continuously. From the sidewalk, I could make out the driver’s worried expression as he gazed into the myriad of cars in front of him. It was obvious that traffic was the last thing the driver wanted.

Even though I couldn’t see what was behind the metal body of the ambulance, I can almost picture what was going on inside. I can see medics doing their best in administering first aid treatment. I can also see a man sitting by the door, crying and praying, and a woman in blood spattered clothes, lying on a stretcher heavily gasping for air, struggling to survive. Amidst all the chaos and panic swirling around inside the ambulance, the outside was surrounded with cars, motionless and as still as the night.

Now he is an expert on Mindanao

August 31, 2008

Ha ha ha! This is interesting.

After squandering public funds, taking advantage of “sanctuary funds,” and enjoying Senate “security funds,” now this guy is turning to the man thrown out of office for gambling “slush funds!”

Ha ha ha!

This guy is not only after fortune and fame. He wants to dip his fingers in Mindanao too! And goes to the president who waged a “total war” in Mindanao.

Spirit House in Cambodia

August 30, 2008

I am not afraid of ghosts. Except when I’m alone. At night. In Cambodia where millions of people died of genocide in the seventies. Last year, when Honey had to go to the Philippines for work for almost two months, he left me in this kingdom far far away where I was alone. At night. In Cambodia where millions of people died of genocide in the seventies.

How did I manage to stop hyperventilating, prevent the hair at the back of my neck from standing up on end, and sleep during all those lonely nights? One, by multiplying my carbon emissions a hundredfold and turning on all the lights in the apartment at night. Two, by turning on the two televisions full-blast. And three, by comforting myself with the fact that my Cambodian landlady keeps a spirit house in an auspicious place right smack in the middle of the entrance of the apartment building.

Transferring your child to another school

August 30, 2008

Our family is moving to a new place in a few months and I have been busy trying to make sure that everything that we have and enjoy now will still be available to us in our new place. This will be a significant step for us because we are sort of leaving our comfort zone.

We have been living in the middle of the city for years now and we have gotten used to all the convenience that brings. There is the 24-hour availability of public transportation, 5 minutes from Makati CBD, 5 minutes from Ortigas CBD, a stone’s throw away from shopping malls, the MRT, and a local wet market. My son is also in the middle of his kindergarten year at his preschool. That means, I would have to transfer him to a new school that is near our new place - assuming the schools there accept transferees.

Casa Verde

August 30, 2008

It’s Friday and my Team Lead made sure that the scheduling team gave us the same rest days so that we can have our very first team social day. We basically just went out to have dinner together and of course, it was sponsored by the company that we worked for. There was a budget of course and since it was just the day after pay day, we wanted to spoil ourselves and decided to spend more than the alloted budget. We were just gonna add up to the budget. The team social wasn’t just for fun, it was actually the only time that the entire team could spend together since we have different schedules and then we could also plan out strategies and meet about everything else going on at work. The place that we went to: Casa Verde.

Big Stan

August 29, 2008

I didn’t find the movie funny at the start compared to Schneider’s previous movies. But as the movie goes on and on, I started to get into his jokes and laugh hard. This movie reminds me of ‘The Longest Yard’ by Adam Sandler.
