Been able to watch MYX and MTV more often ulit. Natutuwa ako sa mga lokal vids na napapanood ko, such as:

chubibo's patawad
parokya ni edgar's mang jose
mojofly's tumatakbo
sheila and the insects's quick to panic
imago's anino
sandwich's masilungan
brownman revival's lintik
sugarfree's tulog na

Hehe, katuwa yung Lintik ng BMR, katuloy ng Maling Akala vid. Pero may napansin akong glitch. Sa Maling Akala, nakahubad yung girl under her robe. Pero sa Lintik, may suot na siyang black spaghetti strap vest(?) under the robe. Hehehe.

Kinikilabutan parin ako pagdumarating sa part na yung boses ni Dino mapapalitan ng boses ni Ely.

Vote sana natin 'tong mga vids na 'to so they could chart higher and thus get more exposure ;)

Ebe's homecoming

Was able to catch Ebe's MTV Homecoming episode, grabe, natuwa ako sobra. Ebe's Batch93 sa UP Rural High sa Los Banos (thus his heartfelt Los Banos song from the first album). Ang ganda nung pagkagawa nung ep, natuwa ako para kay Ebe. I have this thing pa naman for high school. Kita mo nga't I'm back in my own alma mater eh ;)

For those who wanna see that MTV Homecoming ep of Ebe, it will be aired again on Saturday, Oct28, 6pm :)

Speaking of homecoming, I've long wanted to stage an alumni bandfest sa Pisay :P I'm thinking pwede siguro sa Homecoming 2006...we'll invite Pisay alumni who have bands to come play in Pisay for the current students and for alumni and non-Pisay folk as well. Para naman makita ng lahat ang pride of Pisay, pride of Samapi :D

Haaay, miss ko pa rin si Asti. Came home today from work, plopped on the sofa, and wholeheartedly wished I could still see Asti climb up on the couch for her "Welcome Home" pet.
