dear diary,

it was was another nice shirley weekend! friday night was lagare night meaning we were scheduled to play 2 gigs in 2 diff venues. heidi coundn't make it so both sets were keyboard-less. we played first at route 196 for weng weng nite and the the setlist was: themesong, tsuper...they were about to play sa madaling salita when our favorite band taken by cars requested for christmas lights! got awestruck that the guys played it right away even if it wasn't on the setlist. haha. played sa madaling salita after, then our wbob entry masamang damo, and bato for encore.

but a weird thing happened right after the set: a woman which i think was drunk w/ long bleach streaked hair went up to me introduced herself asked for my name held my hands and told me: "you're beautiful!" i almost fell off my seat and got dumbstruck (for no one has ever told me i'm beautiful and that she was a woman like me haha) but i said thank you and was shaken the whole night. haha.

anyway the 2nd gig was at bigskymind for yey friday. played last and the setlist was:  madaling salita, themesong, tsuper duper, masamang damo, sasamahan ka parin! and bato should have been the last song because hank from bigskymind was signaling for it to be the last song (it was already 3am!) but owel didn't get to hear him right and so they continued and played noodles which i think captured everyone's heart. haha.

the other shirleys went home after, while owel and i stayed. we saw JP (mr. route 196 hehe) and he graciously treated us to a round of beer. a bit more drunker, we bonded w/ our engineer joey and his lady love maite and listened intently as he told us their magical love story. haha. we rode w/ them to edsa and along the way joey thought of burger machine and again was treated to free a meal. owel unashamedly asked for double bart burger while i only ordered sansrival. haha.

owel and i got off at edsa and rode the bus home but caught traffic in south super highway. the traffic was awful and heard stories of a car flying. we even changed seats inside the bus beside the windows to see the catastrophe but none of us got to see it because i think we slept through it. haha.

the next day, saturday was the pulp photoshoot for the wbob competition: the band waited along the corridors of grey area studios and bonded over wigs (which joe brought!) while video shooting and picture taking w/ raymond gutierrez and oogling at georgina wilson.

the shoot was fast and we think ours was the most innovative and stupid looking of all the other band photos haha. we can't wait to see it on pulp magazine.  

and as per ang bandang shirley's most favorite activity: we ate at sango after the shoot (2nd time that day for me and owel) and feasted on their delicious burgers, amusingly watched the japanese version of david blaine on tv and made beautiful origamis and tear-a-gamis haha and scheduled our own band photoshoot.

after eating we decided to call it a day went on our separate lakads--the others to katipunan, heidi and melvene i think went home, selena to landmark and zig and i tagged along w/ the gaddis to fully booked the fort and ate at mr. kebab after.

at 9pm i finally got home, saw my parents eating dinner (they were in a good mood i think) because they didn't even questioned my sudden reappearance a day after haha so it was indeed a nice weekend!

that is all.

but sunday is depressing me.

love,
kath-g!
