Manila-Cebu crew hanging out at the Quad (practice/info/tattoo shop owned and maintained by Cebu locals for the benefit of the local community. Nice grafitti work too.


Staid 'We're not in this alone' inspired pic.


Denver and the Goatlord planning something notorious at the airport because we got rebooked to a later flight.



After a stressful weekend tour, we should definitely hit the beach and so we did!


After paying excessive fees to have our flights rebooked, we patiently waited inside the airport. And once aboard the plane, I again fell asleep and woke to see that we're about to enter dark clouds.I could just hear Carcass singing "Welcome...to a worldof hate..". The ride became turbulent especially the landing. Fck.

Some of the SRA guys picked us up at the airport and we went directly to the show venue. The show had already started.We got to catch great sets from TOXIC ORGASM, VAMPIRE STATE, QUEEN CITY CREW, GARDO, NO among others. Too bad TIGER PUSSY didn't play. We were really looking forward to seeing them again after catching them on their recent Luzon tour. A lot of bands played that I failed to catch the names. Sorry.

After the show, we went to crash at Claire's house with Jan and the rest of Bystorm. We shared some stories and soon were sound asleep.

Day 3 of the tour was spent hanging out and doing tourist stuff - visit Magellan's cross, buy pasalubong and hit the beach! The beach was alright and it was raining so we had a lot of fun.

After a couple of hours, it's time to go and Claire brought us to the airport. We said our goodbyes to everyone and we're off again to Manila without any glitch. We were at the airport early to avoid another rebooking charge but guess what, the plane is delayed this time. Grrr.

When we finally landed in Manila, all of us were so tired, we weren't even talking anymore.

All in all, we had a blast at this tour. We met a lot of new friends and hanged out with some old ones. And when these friends come to Manila soon, we'll do this all over again! Thanks everyone and see you soon!
