| It gets really boring here at home.
No seriously, i haven't been out of the house
for anything except for band in the past week.
Man...some days it just fucking gets to me.
Because i'm here at home almost all day...
sometimes there's no one to talk to, nothing to
keep me busy...so what do i do? Sleep. Yeah.
I get about 12-18 hours of sleep max. Seriously.
On a bad day, maybe 8...and when i'm awake
nobody is home, no one's in town, and everyone who is
is either too tamad or busy with other shit. kinda
sucks that i can't do much about it.
Yeah well, some days it's good to just sleep
and get that stress out of my system that, believe
it or not, is still kinda there from hell week. But
its alright, sleep is good. This lack of activity
is making feel so damn fat BUT SCREW IT
the scale begs to differ. WOOT. i love it. I mean
hell, as i'm writing this, i'm consuming a bar of
hershey's....the big bar of chocolate! AHHHH
so much food, so little activity. Well at least now
im well rested. Then time's gonna come when its
time to get back out and do shit...sana naman thats
sooner than later.
yes, i am dying here.

BAND FEST VIDEOS ARE UP PEOPLE
check the multiplication of serve chilled
and see the nice new videos of ours.
note:
there is commentary by pat's dad
(who took the video) and that there's
a lot of ramble courtesy of peter. and another
thing, whenever pat's dad poses a question
peter somehow answers it, even if they are a good
hundred something meters away.
its funny.

| Haven't had much time to blog lately but now.....
At long last, imma gonna write at long last.
i want to say that its been a pretty nice
Christmas. seriously nice, but you know
it's not the same anymore for me. i mean
yeah, its a special time but its not as special.
like most of the magic is gone...but there's
a little happiness still there. but like...on
Christmas night, i just felt pretty damn lonely.
and yeah, its like that. but hell, a little champagne
and good food fixed that up a bit.
but you know...cold and lonely Christmases aren't fun.
but there's a lot of family time that helped fix
that up...gift haul was the usual; bunch a shirts
few accessories, and weird gifts from people who
still think im 9. seriously...haha. but its all good.
i don't really mind that.

good news
good news first.
Serve Chilled will be playing at
the Xavier Vari and ICA Prom.
2 shows that we're looking forward to
because they're gonna be good shows
(we hope). We're already working on
special material for ICA prom...so
if anyone reading this is gonna be there,
expect something special...something
outside of the usual Serve Chilled repertoire.
and as for Vari...just expect something...
as in...something .
and on a personal note...
i'm getting a new crash to replace the one
i cracked a few months ago. weee! yay.

2007 looks inviting.
so damn inviting.

| haven't blogged in a long while.
well hell week is over
but the pains of hell week are being felt now.
yeah well it started friday with what i initially
thought was a little morning grogginess at
about 6:30 developed into a full blown fever at
about 8, which was in the middle of the mass.
its really really bad. now that fever developed
through the rest of the weekend.
come saturday...there were 3 auditions.
AC, Vari and ICA prom auds...each of which
were in different venues. and doing each with
a 38+ fever. at about 12 something..found myself
in AC with very coveted chicken nuggets. well
all the band aids wanted it because they hadn't eaten
lunch and they were all waiting up on their chicken nuggets.
i swear, when girls are hungry for chicken nuggets...
i'd rather not explain. but its funny. really amusing.
xavier auds were pretty fun...ms. leobrera and mr. asis
este buff guy who sings high school musical were judging us.
in spite of the obvious bias that they have for Serve Chilled...
they had a lot of criticism for us...not really as a whole
but more on just...Peter. ICA was a lot less pressed for time.
We just showed up, played and did our thing. if it wasn't for
the very frequent coughing spells involving blood...my day
would have been alright
all in all, the auds were just okay...
its just when you have a fever and you try and play as hard
as i do, you get tired in the middle of songs, lose a lot of control
and find it just so much harder to play at performance level.
i mean there's only so much you can do when you're
body is burning up, head is somewhere else, and your
legs feel like jell-o. it sucks when you want to play a really
great short set in front of a bunch of people you don't know
(and the few you do know).
well that was saturday.
i bummed about most of sunday in a failed attempt to recover.
---
lately all i hear anyone talk about is prom. its not about me being
all negative and bitter as hell but i don't see the whole point in everything right now.
i don't wanna think about it at all but whatever. i got more important
things fucking up my life already. haha.
prom can wait.
---
and anyone who is still dateless to prom...
ask peterson poon.also known as the vocalist of served chill.
he's available and very willing to do what you want.
he's very gwapo and not at all against
anything that you will want to do to him. he wants you to want him
right now so take him while he is available because the demand
for gwapo lead vocalists who can scream as well as he does and
stage dive like that are in short demand nowadays.

| this has been like...the longest 3 day week.
i swear. gotta hate it. requirement after requirement
papers, homework, quizzes, bullshit, and more bull

and yeah it sucks. but hey, i got more smack than
all of ya. i'm a frikin cave man damnit! haha.

fun doin what you love, with kick ass friends
(and the crew...we need to come up with a name
for this amazing group of crazy guys...they deserve
a proper name na).
well. i've got a week left of crap.
i could use a nice long rest this weekend.
instead, i've got a debut to play, an audition
a play to watch, a video to edit, a paper to
write, note cards to finish, noli to finish
what else...i dunno na
pamatay na to. suicidal week. hell? close to it.
and after that, i dunno.
party time?
know what's funny? carlo's gonna be transformed
into don crisostomo ibarra for our next big show.
no shit people, hat, mustache and all.
(we are accepting donations for fake mustaches and
any bowler hats for a spanish-pinoy manadyer of ours).
gotta sleep. i haven't slept more than 6 hours since XP.
and hell...i wanna sleep. this is the problem of insomnia
gaddamet.
i want you to save me. inside i really do.
but this pursuit is overrated.

champion, not the number one, not even a
placer in the said competition. but here i am
ecstatic, excited, and beyond happy.

out, moshed, sang, jumped, and did what you did. we thank you for
supporting this 5 dude band that is forever appreciative for what
you guys do for us.we really feel the love. Next, i wanna say that
hell, fuck it we didn't win.everyone who was moshing, everyone
who saw what we did; you knew that we had fun (and we hope you
did have fun too). i mean, we don't need the 10k to be happy. we
don't need to be first place to enjoy a show like that. hell, we went
out there and raised hell. WE HAD FUN. half the bands out there,

love. i for one hold no grudge if you didn't show. there will be other
shows, other opportunities, other times. see you guys at those future
shows. and for everyone who didn't believe in us...all 'em haters out
there, skeptics and non-believers...the ones who bashed us; for you
all i have to say, is thank you. you made me stronger, you pissed the
fuck off of me, and i take a fuck load of anger out on the fact you guys
don't believe i can do this. well here it is...that was my better. thats not
yet my best.
thanks everyone.
i cannot, and will not stop saying thank you for what you guys
did for us. much love back. you are the best. everyone.
