   AUG 21 HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA! too bad i couldnt go to antipolo to celebrate his bday. nag aral lang ako that night. 

AUG 22, i was not able to go to work today becoz i had a load of songs to study for that night. pressure pressure. i had to take an hour slot to praktis at the studio sa baba ng bahay. after that i went to fayes ofc to bring her hsbc card. we stayed there awhile and then diretso nako ng crossroad. i met the music ministry… willy, harold, pruds, marvin, jess, charlie,anne, sis tess, florence. nakakhiya coz hindi ko kabisado yung songs and pretty much this is my first time to play with the group.but it turned out good. i dint get to play well some songs but its all good. hay buhay nga naman. then Overnight Watch: Wide Awake started na. pstr. anne spoke first. then pstr edgar ramos. the topic is connected with the brown raise. i got to listen up and loosen up after the 2nd set na. kasi basically, tapos na kami except for a few songs kantahin before it ends. everybody was helpful with me by the way. c pruds hleped me out with the areglo, marvin took time to look for songs that i need in his ipod. bisaya rin yung ibang kasma ko, just like me. hehe. we finished by 530am, went straight home.

AUG 23, woke up by 1pm. faye was awake already and busy with laundry stuff. ako i felt i had to clean up my things na. so i did. mejo general cleaning na din.. re arranged stuff. tito lovie dropped by nag order ng pizza kaya we had a delicious merienda today. pretty much dats what i did the whole day. 

AUG 24, woke up at  630am. drank my medicine. nissan had problem. glow plugs busted. hay gastos ulet malamang, i took a cab. 7am i was there already at crossroad. service was not yet finished. when it did, we set up. then before starting, we prayed together. sobrang ganda ng topic. sakto c PASTOR NOEL for today. great timing talaga. next service started at 11am i think. i came to fayes seat. she said she met some of her classmates here a while ago. overtime na kami. around 1pm na natapos. nag abot pa kami ni roji sa bandroom. hehe. its nice to see him here. chat a bit, sama c faye and then we went home. kasi c mang tony nag antay na samin sa haus, we ate lunch ke ate ricas, buy kami ng parts for nissan and i went up, slept a bit. went back down and finally lahat ayos na. thank god. gastos nga lang. 

AUG 25, woke up early. c faye gising na agad. kausap pala niya cna haydee and william, our good friends. theyre planning for the party kasi of there anak. siyempre todo prepare nato. faye is helping out. after the meeting, antok pareho so we slept, the whole afternoon. dumating c jean. she went to divi. pagbalik she picked up the dryer. i forgot we had work pala sa tiendesitas. so yun, prep na kami agad then went straight to tiende. set was good but nakakatamad kasi nasa holiday mode pa ako. faye isnt feeling good ulet. nag sinutab ciya. masakit kasi harap ng muka nya e. randy came over with his friend from singapore.

quite okay already

finally, im starting to recover na from my sickly mode. 2days nako medyo d masyado nanghihina. although nahilo ako kagabi after gig at off the grill. i got to talk with an unlikely acquaintance. i got to chat with KELLY BADON. former SIDE A guitar player. ive always respected the group and they are one of the groups i look up to in the local music scene. mahirap sa industriya nato maraming showbiz… but not him. i would say hes easy to get along with. cool lang as well as, reserved. nakipag kwentuhan lang about how difficult it is to get gigs nowadays. pero bilib din ako sa tao kasi hes prepared with every type of set up na pwedeng kailanganin. meron siyang trio group, may pang bar gigs sya na group and pang special shows. talgang ready hehe. parang kami din. laging handa sa kahit anung set up. funeral wake na nga lang ata hindi namin tinugtugan e. anyways, being a prominent musician that he is, he got to split kasi marami pa cyang pupuntahan. mga katropa din sa music scene. medyo d napuno off the grill kanina. cguro dahil pasukan ulet tom.. yun lang for today.

Medyo may abang factor kami ni faye sa OLYMPICS. lalo na opening ceremonies. kasi maraming features yung preparation ng china sa discvovery channel. so medyo na hype kami sa pagdating ng olpympics ds year. and isa pa, we were brought up kasi by our papa…  pinapa watch nya kami ng ganito dati pa. sayang nga wala pa cilang cable sa antipolo kaya malamang d nila napanuod yung opening.
