Current mood: still sick

Notice again

Uhm, backout po ang Nana Shi sa VaniTEA event, due to lack of time for practice (tight scheds), and all of us are heavily busy w/ our own activities. I think this is the 3rd (or 4th?) "backout"-ing of my bands. Gahh, buhay nga naman, so frustrating minsan...


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


And so...

I ain't feelin' well since pag-uwi ko kagabi~ I had a runny nose, sumasakit ang sinus ko, and sobrang sinisipon ako. Well, dahil sa kakapuyat ko 'to, and lumala siguro kakaisip ng mga problema, including the notice above (which is, kaninang umaga lang namin napag-usapan ni Dawny after chatting w/ [info]mizukineige.) Eventually pina-cancel namin ang supposed practice namin ng 4-6pm.

For that, tinamad akong pumasok ng school, 'coz my nose is really irritated, lalo na kapag nasa aircon. X___X I've decided to drop by here (Tim's place) kaninang tanghali, to modify my FX-17 and FS01, and Aethyra practice (daw).

Ayun, nagawa naming ma-modify yung 2 pedals, wherein nakapag-tap kami ng switch for the on/off ng wah. Tapos parehong nilagyan ng mono jacks para patch cables ang connection ng dalawa (for more convenience). Supposedly ilalabas din sana 'yung volume/wah DPDT switch and mag-tap ng separate switch sa labas, but decided to leave it stack. Then ipapa-butas 'yung metal casing sa harap for the phone jack slot. So there we have it ! ;p~

Then went to the "temple of tone" again to fetch my pedals, but sir Jobet wasn't there, and he ain't yet finished the modding; tapos 7pm pa daw siya makakarating. So inuwi ko na lang si SDI-1 ko ('di ko na muna ipapa-mod).

Pagbalik dito, nagsimula na ang inuman nila Tim, along w/ Mondo and a couple of TeleTech officemates. Moments later, dumating na si Jun, and pagkauwi nila Mondo, saka dumating si Tan. Obviously, 'di na kami nakapagpraktis XD And because I'm kinda sick, sumuko ako agad sa pulang kabayo, at nakabawi ng tulog.

Currently downloadin' large stuffs~ Oh, the joys of hi-speed internet...

Current mood: runny nose

Scalarized GAS

Maghapon akong tulog, dahil sa matinding hangover. Albeit bein' online kaninang umaga, sobrang sakit talaga ng ulo ko, so ayun. Paggising ko, 4pm na. Then left agad para maka-visit ulit sa "temple of tone", and my GAS is attacking once again, but this time it ain't about second-hand pedals or modding pedals; but I wanted my two axes (Cliff & Syntyche) scalarized! >:E

FYI, this is how a scalarizer (both metalcore and crystal) looks like:

Scalarizer

Before installation, I had my axes tested, to distinguish the tone before puttin' the scalarizers. I've realized na "tunog-ngongo" and "muddy", especially the RJ stock 7-string pickups. We played 'em only using the Fender amp's drive. And I had sir Anton (a.k.a. psychic_sushi) and sir Jobet (a.k.a. BAMF) suggest on what type of scalarizer should each axe utilize.

First, si Syntyche ang inoperahan. They suggested to put a metalcore one for it. Afterwards, tinesting namin, and heto ang naging difference:

• More clarity, especially the low A (yes, naka-Drop A 'yung 7th string) lalo na pag palm muting.
• Mas "umuugong" (or should I say "dumadagundong") when I tested on clean tone. Especially on the neck position -- parang jazz ang dating.
• Hindi na siya "ngongo" -- "punchy" ang tunog when soloing.
• Overall, mas galit and aggressive!

Next naman si Cliff naman... Had some difficulty, because I have to detach/install the strings, because the circuitry is beneath the pickguard. They suggested to have it crystal-scalarized, because it is EMG-powered (active pickups), and the pickup magnets are ceramic. And oh, during the process, we also "fix-cleaned" the pots, 'coz parang naga-grounded na siya (siguro dahil sa dumi... dunno), hence the minor annoying shortwire buzz. Then after installation, heto naman ang naging resulta:

• Dumagdag ang "attack", pero retained the twanginess.
• Mas litaw na ngayon ang clean tone.
• Sa terms ng twangy-ness, I think parang mas naging "twangy" siya, 'coz I tested some string-muting/funky riffs. Maganda at mas litaw ang "percussive tone" ng strings.
• Overall, mas naging "passive" ang tunog ng pickups -- much more real "Tele" to me! And dahil retained ang single coilness and dumagdag ang attack (and pagkauwi ng bahay, tested with my MetalMaster), versatile talaga for goin' vintage to hard rock to metal!

Pag-uwi, agad kong ginamit, at 'di ko mabitiwan itong mga gitara ko (until now), kahit medyo kinakalawang na ang mga kuwerdas nila. XD Deym, mas nakaka-in love talaga ang tone nila ngayon! :)

Recap ko lang: so far I've spent some 2.5K for a DS-1 BAKEMONO mod (bukas ko pa makukuha -- na-delay lang ng 1 araw) and 2 scalarizers for my axes. That's the cheapest price of a second-hand BOSS stompbox, but so far I'm very satisfied with what I've got. No problem shoving out cash for the tone bargain; worth every centavo, I tell ya! ;)

And oh, mas magging mahal na itong mga scalarizers if ever mag-materialize na ang dealership & mass-shipping, and sealing the patent as well. Tiyak do-doble or ti-triple ang price, lalo na't the invention is gaining high popularity sa PhilMusic.


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Acoustic Scalarizer

Oh, another thing that makes the "scalarizers" trend notorious: yet another cooked-up idea/mad-scientist conception, that is the Acoustic Scalarizer!

Acoustic Scalarizer

Lemme describe how amazing it is: I observed their guitar testing w/ a fellow forumite Danny (a.k.a. floyd_nikita) with the latter's Fernandes neck-through guitar. Then sir Jobet just placed the scalarizer in contact w/ the head, and voila -- mas lumitaw ang riffs, kumapal ang tunog (as in parang dumagdag ang "mass" ng body)! Tapos nung tinanggal, balik ulit sa dati -- parang nagka-tone loss, I tell you. Matindi pa is, kahit saan niya dinikit 'yung scalarizer, lumalabas 'yung distinct effect niya, and at times nahuhuli namin na palapit pa lang sa surface, umeepekto na.

Oh, sinubukan din naming idikit sa speaker ng amplifier, at gumagana pa rin 'yung tone enhancement! O___O And 'di talaga kami makapaniwala, maski nakapikit nalalaman namin na nakadikit o hindi. Grabe ang significance nung scalarizer. I'm lucky to be one of the early witnesses of the demo of such invention!

Iba talaga ang Filipino ingenuity, yebah! Sana marami pang ganyang Pinoy, noh? :)

Quiz-filled School Blues

Another school day, full of quizzes! Two of my subjects had major quizzes, but I found 'em really easy. I managed to finish 'em off within few minutes, then spent some time on a nearby internet shop during the looooong break (3pm to 7pm, I tell ya.) I managed to leave the campus at an early 8pm; I even rushed myself to Kolumn Bar as fast as I could; we should play as soon as possible, for our drummer needs to go to work afterwards.


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Then, the "Triple T" gig...

As I arrived, the show wasn't starting yet; the equips were still sound-checked, and 3 of Do'ahou members were already there~ (Adrian arrived half an hour later.) The crowd wasn't that jam-packed nor very few -- just enough, I guess. And most of 'em are the new breed S.O.N. members.

Some J-music peeps like [info]minireia (w/ Ambet) and [info]kirby_agudelo were also there not only just to watch, but also conducted some serious meeting for their planned production gig (along w/ [info]hydee_takarai), which stated to be held on March 3. :)

We only performed three songs -- did "Parting Time" again as our OPM-required song. Me and [info]mike5150 were tipsy then ('coz of the booze), and we had some minor miscues~ (Oh well, errors are a constant in our music! XD) But hey, we enjoyed our performance -- way better than our OS Fusion stint. At the same time, we had our "rusty surfaces lubricated"! XD (in Filipino: Tanggal ang kalawang namin!)

The other bands rocked as well; [info]coincibens played drums for one band, playin' Up Dharma Down and Coheed and Cambria covers. Sacramento did their heavy thing -- again, JV's guitar sound shaked the whole place -- even our chests felt the tremors! Virus Artist rocked as usual~ (reminds me of Rico Blanco.)

Again, thanks to Mentalli Disturbed Prods, the S.O.N. people and the outside guests~ ^___^v


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Emphasis to the word of the night: TOMA

The gig lived up to its name, literally. Me and [info]mike5150 boozed up way before the show starts; add to the fact that we were lacking sleep, so we were soon tipsy (and onstage)! After our set, we ordered buckets of Colt 45's -- it was all rainin' beer, I tell ya!

I was really dizzy on the way home w/ [info]mike5150 and Marlon; the speeding bus ride and the winds made me even dizzier, almost barfed off. In no time I slept, and as I woke up, the bus was already traveling at Sapang Palay. Yeah, I traveled beyond Fairview and went off the bus way north! (Sapang Palay -- away from civilization indeed...) XD

Then managed to made it home around 3am, and until now my head still hurts like smashin' sledgehammers. I wish we would have more booze-full gigs in the future, hahahah! ;p

Still awake, with Generoso beside~ (nyehehe) I think kaya ko na siyang ubusin. Had a worthless day kanina...

School blues muna: ang kaisa-isang subject ko for the day, ay nagpa-surprise quiz ang malupit na prof namin. And oh, remember na nung last week 'di ako pumasok sa school (since Wednesday) dahil nga sa minor financial crisis. So ayun, walang kalaman-laman ang utak ko at sumabak na ako sa unang giyera quiz namin. Result: bokya. ~___~! Well ayus lang, maski 'yung mga kaklase ko natuyo rin ang utak, at walang naisagot din. (Nagsi-aral na silang lahat ah, partida... XD)

Then nagpunta ng Raon, pero out of stock yung dapat kong bibilhin. ~___~! So I decided to go food trip around -- had some grilled hotdog sandwich malapit sa Quiapo, some delicious (and very cheap price) tapsilog near Sapang Palay bus terminal sa Doroteo Jose -- sobrang stuffed ako, as in! Then biyahe na lang pauwi, just like an ordinary, silly day. =___=

Maagang nakarating ng bahay, at magdamag lang naggigitara. Damn, kinakalawang talaga ang mga kamay ko... Kailangan mag-upgrade ng mga nalalamang scales... Oh, at sisipra pa ako ng mga popondohin para sa Nana Shi sa VaniTEA. :)

Pahabols na notice: Hindi matutuloy ang Aethyra for tomorrow's gig (Tugtog Tambay Toma), dahil hindi nagpaparamdam 'yung bahista namin~ (Gahhh!) Pero I'm still excited dahil makakatugtog (ulit) ang Do'ahou along w/ other S.O.N. peeps! :) O siya, ubusin ko na 'tong long neck, and practice bago matulog. ***review lyrics mode***


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Oh, and I love this Ellegarden song...

Syempre dahil sa kaka-soundtrip ng Ellegarden, naging fave ko na 'yung "Under Control" -- one cool MILF song! Tamang-tama sa message ng isang T-shirt na sinusuot ko lagi, LOL~ XD XD

In case na 'di nyo alam kung ano ang MILF, click here and here, and I'm not referring to the Mindanao rebel group! XD

( Click here for lyrics )

Gaahh, I miss those crappy punk rock VagiClean days... Parang gusto ko na uli tumugtog ng punk! XD~

Another Visit to the Temple of Tone

Dahil wala akong pasok, nagpa-petiks lang muna sa bahay, bago pumunta sa Pimp Hive (dala ang aking malinis at fresh na DS-1). Naidala ko rin si SDI-1 ko, dahil baka may maidadagdag pang mods sa kanya.

Pagkadating ko doon, naabutan ko si sir Jobet (a.k.a. BAMF) na nagyoyosi break -- medyo nahihirapan sa wiring ng inaayos niyang Ibanez ng isang customer niya (na nagja-jamming sa studio). So nai-"admit" ko na sa "klinika" ang mga pedals ko. XD

At dahil 'di pa rin ma-figure out ang wirings (dahil mali ang na-print na diagram -- for Seymour Duncan STK/Humbuckers 5-way), nag-decide ang customer na mag-rent sa cafe and print the needed diagram; at the same time, sinabi ni sir Jobet na sa Sabado na 'ko bumalik for the BAKEMONO mod. Sinamahan ko na 'yung Ibanez customer (dahil 'di nya kabisado ang place, taga-Alabang pa siya.)

Then pagbalik, naki-jamming sessions na rin ako, at tinesting ang maraming pedals (mostly puro 'dirt' pedals) na modded... Grabe, imagine parang TOY KINGDOM na pipili lang ng laruan at tetestingin, LOL~ Ayun, gitara/palo, then dumating na rin si sir Anton (a.k.a. psychic_sushi).

May natutunan din akong bago from the genius "mad scientists": the CRYSTALCORE, and METALCORE scalarizers. That night the Ibby customer had his H-S-H (2 The Breed DiMarzio's and 1 RG Prestige stack middle single coil) axe crystal-scalarized, while the other (Hot-rails and a single-coil neck, Mustang style guit) had his one double-metalcored.

Basically, they are some small electronic device that affects the tonality of the guitar; The Ibby customer was very satisfied w/ his axe Scalarized -- his notes were much more clear, he said (clean tone pa lang 'yun men); mas natuwa nung nag-overdrive na straight from the ampli. 'Yung isa naman, mas naging "grunge" ang tunog ng single coils niya -- very fit sa tugtugan na gusto niya. Pero clean tone pa lang at lakasan ang strum, parang naka-overdrive na! Grabe din 'yung Metalcore!

And I was amazed when sir Anton brought along his EMG-equipped Fender Tele that was Scalarized, and played his chops. The axe sounded more "huge" and "fatter" -- the tone he wanted, because basically he is a jazz player. But at the same time, he can nail the acoustic sound with it! Then I became interested on doin' the same w/ Syntyche... Imagine the RJ stack pickups go wilder! O___O

Then sir Anton told me to give it a shot. Sir BAMF then showed me his guitar (na na-testing din kanina habang jam), and told me the pickups were the cheap JB Music humbuckers worth 300 pesos each, and he just scalarized them. Grabe, compared naman kung bibili ng mga mamahaling 5K-worth na branded pickups like Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio. So sa Biyernes baka dalhin ko din si Cliff! (Gaah, I'll be bringin' 2 axes -- para na naman akong naglayas nito...)

And I'll be back there on Friday night (to claim my pedals), so sa mga gustong sumama at makatikim ng free demo ng mga toys doon, sama kayo sa 'kin sa Biyernes! XD (For more details about the latest experiments inside what they call the "Temple of Tone", click here.)

Speakin' of "Aphrodisiacs"... (I forgot to post this yesterday)

On my way home habang nasa Nova Bayan jeep (I was seated at he front), the driver was soooo talkative! First, kinulit niya ako about the thing my ears were wearing and listening to (earphones and MP3 player). Then nakipagkuwentuhan sa pasaherong behind him about politics.

( ... )


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Taste test!

Right now I'm tasting this Generoso brandy I bought kahapon~ Well, ayon sa panlasa ko: mas mainit (ma-guhit) siya compared sa Gran Matador, pero mas matapang sa kanya si Emperador. XD Maganda ang amoy niya kesa sa Emperador. Pero parang ala pa akong amats (halfway na ako so far), siguro dahil mabagal ako shumat... Pero mas mabilis nakaka-init kesa sa Gran Matador. Overall, magandang choice kung tight sa budget (mas mura ang presyo nito compared sa GranMa/Empoy nung nabili ko); pero personal favorite (at ang meter indicator) ang GranMa. ;)

(Ayus ba ang Brandy Review natin? LOL~! )


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Quiz na naman~ (Makiki-uso lang, haha!)

Starting the day w/ some biyahe blues

Went to Raon to find some items, but only bought a PSone controller for my pamangkins; then went to SM Manila Lazer to buy some hard-to-find XXL-like bass pot knobs, and strat-type jack plate.

Afterwards, I met up w/ Luciel to give him some items, and talk over some band matters. We're kinda worried about the status of some of our bandmates -- ni hindi nagpaparamdam kasi sa e-mail; nagpapaka-busy talaga sa work...

Tapos nun ay nagtungo naman ako sa place ni Sir Anton (a.k.a. psychic_sushi) and balak ko nang iwanan yung dala kong pedal; but yung LM-2 ang nadala ko. (Malas me~ XD) Balik ako mamaya para dalhin ko ang DS-1 ko, and finally have that Sushi-mod! /drool

Had a normal day lang sa school. Ganun pa rin -- boring ang mga classmates ko~ Only Wednesdays & Saturdays ang "significant" school days ko... After school, done my groceries, and bought one different long neck -- mukhang dapat kong tikman 'to...

Generoso Brandy

I'm kinda curious because mas mura ito kaysa sa Emperador and Gran Matador... I gotta find out how does it tastes like~ ;p

And pag-uwi, spent some time w/ my pet Stripe. Kulitan as usual, hehe~

Stripe pic 1-23-2007

Best friend ko talaga 'to; nakaka-release ng stress makipag-harutan~ XD Hindi siya nang-iiwan tulad ng iba, and hindi PSYCHO.

Practice, sa wakas

Kagabi, nag-practice kami Do'ahou at last -- 1st practice of the year, and since November pa (nung HeroTV event 'ata kami huling nakatugtog magkakasama). Same ol' time pa rin (late ng gabi ulit), and tanggal-kalawang na naman kami, hehehe... Nakaka-miss din sa Millennium, kung saan andun ang lahat (bilyaran, videoke, internet rental, paluto ng pancit, alak... XD) So far, 'di naman nangalawang; and review lang nung mga dati nang na-pondo... Mabuti na rin at 'yung mga gigs namin e required lang ng 3 songs, so sa linisan/kapit ng tugtog ng band lang ang aalalahanin namin~

Abangan nyo po kami sa mga upcoming gigs namin~ (Jan 25, Feb 10, Feb 17) Click here for my scheduled activities, and info ng mga gigs and events. :)

Shameless Plugging Shit

Plug ko lang 'yung upcoming gig namin ng Aethyra and Do'ahou (courtesy of MentalliDisturbed Productions)... This will feature S.O.N. bands, and pinaka-"main" acts are Sacramento and Virus Artist. Check out the poster:

January 25 @ Kolumn Bar, Timog~ FREE ADMISSION po ito, so punta na kayo dito! ;)


¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤


Notice lang

'Di na po kami (Do'ahou) matutuloy sa PSICOM `07 event this coming Sunday, because may important affairs ang drummer namin~ (Oist good luck sa inyo ni Jun!) And good thing na rin, para 'di kami ma-pressure masyado, dahil kulang pa kami ng practice... ~___~!

And sa Jan 25 gig, may possibility na mag-backout ang Aethyra, dahil may sakit parin daw ang drummer naming si Tan. x___x

(Hey, ano nangyayari sa mga drummer ngayon? Hehehe...)

Current mood: thirsty

First thing na ginawa ko kahapon: dumaan ako sa house ng ate ko (for some matters), and spent time w/ her kids (my pamangkins). Magdamag kami naglaro ng PSone 'til 3pm~ :)

Tapos nagtugo na ako ng SM Megamall para sa meeting ni [info]minireia regarding doon sa FF Gathering: The Reunion gig. Naabutan kong nagbi-briefing na along w/ [info]kirby_agudelo, and the Himitsu Heiki "big three" (hehe). Naging maganda naman ang meeting -- napabili pa kami ni Julius ng isang pitsel na "gintong beer" sa foodcourt dahil sisitahin pa kami nung epal na guard~ XD Tapos dumating din si [info]uchihayukiko, 'yung representatives nung ibang bands (pati ang anay), si Maku, at marami pang iba... :) Around past 6pm na kami nag-decide na umuwi.

Then on the way home, nagutom na talaga kami ni [info]pedz, at kumain kami sandali sa McDo Fairview Mall/Caltex; kwentuhan blues din ng matagal... We came up w/ the word for the moment: "Talkies" (referring to people around that only do the talks w/o having the claims~) Pwede na pala sila gumawa ng banda na puro talkies, no? XD

Currently I'm soundtrippin', dahil nakumpleto ko na rin (sa wakas) ang Gazette discog. ;)

Just wanna share this vid...

...'Coz it snatched precious seconds of my life~ I think isa na sila sa mga pinaka-"no shame" na nilalang sa mundo, as in wala nang kahihiyan! XD Oh well, I admit, this thing works for me the same effect as caffeine... (sinend sa 'kin kasi 'yung link courtesy nina [info]killer_gei~ XD)

Hitchin' a Ride

Kanina pag-alis ng bahay, edi parang normal na araw lang kung saan maghihintay ng "transfer" jeep sa village namin... So habang naka-abang ako, bigla akong tinawag ng mag-asawang owner ng tindahan malapit sa 'min na sina Mang Roel & Aling Heidi (dun kami kasi lagi bumibili ng LPG), and dala nila 'yung sasakyan nila -- and luckily pina-hitch nila ako. May lakad din sila, sa may Proj. 7 (BayanTel Roosevelt). Kahit papaano napa-menos ako sa gastos at oras (traffic sa Bayan).

Ayun, kwentuhan blues 'din w/ them; nalaman kong taga-La Loma pala sila dati (malapit sa "former home" ko) -- and pamangkin pala ni Aling Heidi 'yung isang ka-batch ko noon sa LSQC! Small world indeed. XD

At maaga ako nakarating sa banko (asikaso ng financial issues)... At dahil may time pa ako, nakapag-biyahe trip pa ako sandali sa Malinta nung pauwi, at heto maaga nakarating ng bahay. :)

Bernardo Carpio video

Saw this video, courtesy of ex-drummer naming si Jhesar~ Binigay niya sa 'ikin yung link kagabi lang. Sobrang old school na nitong video, long hair pa~ XD Pero anlofet!

Oh by the way, Pinoy Rock band po itong Bernardo Carpio, as in "legendary" na po sila. S.O.N.-affiliated band po ito, tas gitarista pa nila noon si Jephthah (of Virus Artist & [currently] Agaw Agimat).

Sayang, 'di ko sila naabutan dati; ang astig talaga nila! Siguro that time nakikinig pa ako ng Hanson. XD Tsaka kung naging S.O.N. lang ako dati pa, at naabutan ang 90's era ng org...

Current mood: unaccomplished

Just finished some chores around the house; magdamag lang ako nandito sa bahay, at lumuwas sa kamag-anak 'yung katiwala namin. It's my second consecutive day na hindi nakapasok ng school, dahil tinitipid ko na naman 'yung budget namin ('di na naman kami kinokontak ng dad namin...) Maybe later mage-email na ako agad sa kanila, dahil sobrang gipit na din 'yung ate ko. :(

Heto, telenovela marathon muna (Atlantika, Sana Maulit Muli, Princess Hours...) At ngayon pala 'yung episode na madi-disgrasya si Poknat. XD LOL~

Kailangan ko pang mag-prepare ng mga popondohin para sa mga upcoming gigs... Hanggang ngayon 'di pa kami nakakapag-practice. :(
