Climate of Fear.

One of those bands that just went off the radar the past year. One of the best things out of Texas since Die Young. This is a Bitter End 'Climate of Fear' 2007 Tour shirt. Ice gray too. Nice color scheme.

Climate of Fear for Clevo fans as Boston defeated "The King" and sent him packing once again. New York bound? Up next for the Celtics: revenge on the Magic.

Currently listening to: I've been on a Verse trip the whole day while driving around the metro. What's your fave Verse album? I think 'Agression' takes the cake just because of the epic 'Story of a Free Man' but there's something about 'From Anger and Rage' that strikes a chord within me.

Mango.

This summer has been far too long. You need to cool down every time. Drink this mango juice at that famous coffee shop. Read the paper. Relax. Summer will end.

Currently watching: Game 6 in Boston where the Celts try to close out Lebron and the Cavs. Coffee. Friday morning.

Outlive.

Just arrived in Manila yesterday. Fortunately we managed to get a plane ride home at the last minute. It's good to be back after a week in Lanao.

Right now we have a Guns Up! 'Outlive' shirt. Definitely text heavy but you got to love that side print.

Good stuff: The Celtics handing a severe beating to the Cavs in Game 5 of the East semis. Lebron sucked all the way and may have played his last home game as a Cav. New York?

Currently listening to: Bane 'everything'

ps. Don't forget the upcoming release party of The Beauty of Doubt this Saturday at Ten02. Good band. New release. Great line-up!

Election Day.

It's election day. Go out and vote (if you believe in voting), at least for your local leaders, as this is where I think change can happen. Still stuck in Lanao. Fck.

On the brighter side of things, Rajon Rondo annihilated the Cavs with a 29 point, 18 rebound and 13 assist performance. Lebron who? Two more wins and the Cavs get frustrated again while the Celts get a chance for redemption against the Magic.

Wao.

Right now, I'm in the middle of nowhere. F'n Wao, Lanao del Sur. In the middle of the mountains with nowhere to go. Waiting for the elections on Monday (if it's not postponed, that is). Bored to death.

Got some great news regarding the PILIPINAS THRASH DETONATION compilation tape though. The mastering is finished and was sent already to Kuala Lumpur for pressing. I'll be posting some info about the bands later to shed more light on this monster. 200 copies will be pressed. A portion will go to the bands so this will really be a limited thing. Available on June at Thrashfest/Feud reunion show. Keep your ears peeled.

STILL ILL.

Back to Quan Yin Chay.

Been some time since I've been to Quan Yin Chay Vegie Resto at Binondo. Always a great time to eat there. Even during the motherf'n heat of the summer. Dumplings, Sweet and sour stuff, vegie fish with tausi. Hell yes.


Curretly listening to: Guns Up! 'All this was', Dead Prez 'Let's Get Free'

Lots-A-Pizza.

Enough of the Italian-pizza kind. Let's take it Pinoy-style! Lots-A-Pizza Garden Fresh styled pizza. Awesome. So cheesy.

As it turns out, I'm still headed to Mindanao for the elections after getting info that my trip won't push through. Jeez...

Currently watching: Boston Legal Season 3

Good stuff: Cleveland choking on Game 2 and getting roughed up by the Celtics. Red Sox winning two in a row. Finally receiving a package that's been due for some time now. Finally getting a copy of Chuck Palahniuk's 'Fight Club' book. Hell yes.

Joey Pepperoni.

I'm not sure if I got the name of the resto right now. A little confused. We've got Margherita pizza (old styled basil-cheese-tomato pizza!) and Aglio o Olio pasta (olive oil and garlic). They got some promos and stuff so you can check it out if you're there.

Currently watching: Yahoo Sports! Baseball Nightly.

Cool down.

Terrible heat. Although there's been hints of rain, the heat is still terrible. So cool down with this Sago/Gulaman concoction at Max's.

TBOD.

The Beauty of Doubt on athletic gray shirt. Always a great combination. Shirt also has a TBOD quote at the back. Make sure to be at Ten02 for the release of their 'Just Matter' CDEP. Should be a great night.

We had the first Feud practice for the reunion show yesterday an it's always a great time to hang out with those guys. I think we did a good job practicing almost 3/4 of the set list and we're scheduled for a few more so it should be awesome.

V/A PILIPINAS THRASH DETONATION news: the files are with Pao for mastering and stuff and it should be sent for pressing this week. Great stuff.

I'll be going to Mindanao for the elections and hopefully they have wi-fi or something where I'll be staying. Gonna stay there for at least a week or so.

Bad stuff: Celts losing to Clevo in Game 1 (but it's good to see Lebron and the Cavs sweat and labor for that win. Ha!)
