Mood: satisfied; just plain sleepy
Listening to: Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung
As if last night's blunder wasn't enough, I was kept panicky when I woke up yesterday with no water and electricity. Gawd!~ I was frantic enough and tried brainstorming ways on how to get dressed in time for the Battle of the Bands at CSR. After 30 minutes, I surrendered myself to a deep stupor. Good thing is, when I woke at exactly 3 p.m, the water and electricity's back on. Finally!
Around 5 p.m, my dad dropped me off to Market! Market! so I could buy some things. Then I was off for CSR. Arriving 20 minutes after, I was greeted or rather screamed at by Chie when I was at the lobby. I SAW MS. SUELTO SING ONSTAGE! My god!~
After that, I started roaming the place and ended up talking to Kai. For goodness sake, I never saw her that happy upon seeing me. She was like screaming frantically and hurrying towards me, and ended up stomping on my foot. I was saddened that she's about to leave for U.S. FOR good. It was the first (in a few months) AND probably the last time I will see her.
Then, abandoning all attempts to eat dinner I went outside and bought my ticket for the event, talked with some people, encountered not-so-pleasant acquaintances and so on. I was quick enough to raise my guard on THOSE who weren't so nice to me back then, and until now for some bullshit reason. Mind you, they're really pathetic.
Anyhow, Imago was first to go onstage. They sang Spoliarium, Akap, Ewan, Sundo (my current fave!) and the adrenaline-pumping Taralets. And yes, I got my copy of their latest album signed by Aia De Leon and Tim Cacho. Woohoo! Then the program proper for the Battle of the Bands was up.
Although I wasn't quite satisfied with some contestants, still I knew that they're bound to learn a lot from that experience. I'm just perfectly contented that Alternate Spectrum won (go Vitta!). Their drummer, Camille Salva and vocalist, Vitta Hernandez won Best Drummer and Best Vocalist respectively.
CHILI & NO IDEA performed! The latter performed really well (and I was shocked when Pyra played bass for them), but I was really looking forward to the former's onstage performance. And good enough, I wasn't disappointed with it. In fact, I only have well words for them. The first song 'Time After Time' was with vocalist Ikang, while the second was 'Bata by Moonstar88' with Mecca. Unlike the Battle of the Bands last year, I could say that they've improved a lot. I think what made them perform well is that they are not pressured by any competition since they are there just to perform for the crowd. And yes, AGANG ~ you were great out there! You've improved a lot, indeed. To Jam, Maia and Ming ~ good job!
After some cam-whoring moments, I went home with Melai in tow. Then it got me thinking about something. Somehow I couldn't greatly express it here since I'm not quite sure of how reliable things are on the Internet. So, I'll just speak in a quite intimate (and most indirect) manner that I can (somehow manage) to pull off..
.. Thank you for everything. Thank you for understanding things and assuring me that you'll still be there no matter what. Now, I should just let fate take its course.
