Music Music Music http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/archive/87.html Wed, 01 Jan 2003 14:15:24 GMT Sunstar Daily invited me to write an article. This was what I submitted as a sample work. They liked it but they wanted to pare it down to half its present length. They had space constraints. I'm publishing it here instead. ------------------------------------------ My suggested column title: Off-key notes I HATED SHEILA AND THE INSECTS I hated Sheila and the Insects. If you don't know what I'm talking about, they were the band from Cebu that burst through the Manila music scene circa 2000. Getting noticed with new wave sounding ditties and topping the Manila...

Been here since 6:00 am. Waiting for the office to open. Been trying to get my NBI clearance for the past 3 days. Need it as part of the requirements. I was lucky. I was asked to work as art director of A.S.A.P. advertising. I finally have a day job (again). And a well paying one at that. I hope it turns out well for me. http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/comments?id=86 http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/archive/85.html Thu, 17 May 2001 13:59:21 GMT Ian got sick so our scheduled recording sessions this week were cancelled. We're gonna resume tonight. Hope it goes well. http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/comments?id=85 http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/archive/84.html Thu, 05 Apr 2001 13:58:09 GMT Started work on songs for third album. Our jamming sessions have been productive. 5 songs are currently being developed. Me, I'm writing better songs now. Yesterday we jammed a song I wrote. "Idle Hands". It came out great. I just finished writing another song (last night) "The Death of Disco". I hope to arrange it with the band next week. http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/comments?id=84 http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/archive/83.html Tue, 20 Feb 2001 13:55:09 GMT I dreamed about five sisters and one brother. They were so happy together but you could sense there was tension between them. They soon broke up into a fight that started because of teasing. Teasing which involved the poking of fingers into the surprised victim. The lone brother was among the first victims. He didn't poke back. When the time came for the erring siblings to be punished, the brother was still crying in pain and stood apart from the others but slowly eased up and shifted to laughter. Giggling even for he knew that there was going to be punishment, and as such,...

And suddenly it just came to me. So suddenly. I shall transform myself. From simple and conservative to daring and colorful. I shall embrace a new philosophy!! Dare to be stylish and totally different. Outlandish even. How it struck me so suddenly is a mystery. Must have been the caffeine. Anyway, my pace will be brisk and determined. http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/comments?id=82 http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/archive/81.html Fri, 10 Nov 2000 13:52:29 GMT I'm at the waiting lounge of the domestic airport. We're leaving for Cebu at 4pm. We've just begun to settle in. Getting here from the apartment in Quezon City was pretty hairy. The traffic seemed worse today than it was yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, we had one hell of a show. It was our biggest gig this year. The NU107 Rock Awards 2000. This year, we got nominated for Best New Artist. Although Slapshock won, it was still a thrilling experience. (Everyone knew slapshock would win anyway) The whole production was totally fantastic. The lights were incredible, the...

I don't know yet how I'll do but I wanna make a good impression. This isn't just a matter of writing for the heck of it. I need the job. Money is everything. Soundbuzzdotcom. Hope Chinky likes my work. I don't know exactly if I have what it takes. I've decided to write the way I do naturally. No flowery stuff or anything. I wanna make my work easy reading. Besides, its the content that counts. Most of the time. I guess I'll just have to learn to sharpen my craft as I go along. I should start planning now what topics to cover: - Smooth...

It was great. Even the weather cooperated. The continuous rains held off for just one day and promptly resumed the next day. We're in our apartment now. We spent the night at the hotel where Frank was staying. The Lakers won against Portland in the NBA season opener. Its still raining. Been like this for days already. The skies have stayed gloomy. But not as gloomy as Erap's presidency. He's goin down. Its just a question of when. Just today, his economic advisers...

Well, it was ok but the place wasn't full. We had fun at Freedom Bar. The crowd danced. First time that happened here in Manila. Our show at Enchanted Kingdom was cool. And we had a great time at the rides. The best ones were the Space Shuttle and Anchor's Away. Rialto was great too. The scariest, it turns out was Anchor's Away. I really thought I'd get killed. Tomorrow, we'll be playing at Intramuros. It's gonna be a big show. Frank is gonna be... (more) http://presati-logues.blogdrive.com/comments?id=78
