ang bandang shirley news!

Yesterday we had a mixing session at love one another studios with maestro engineer joey santos! We finished the radio edits for the new single xmaslights! and the remastered version of our wbob entry masamang damo! After mixing i went to deliver the cds to NU107.5 and JAM88.3, and today i just gave the songs to RJUR105.9. We need your help in monitoring the stations, if you hear any of the stations playing the songs just leave us a message here at our multiply!


Also, you can vote for masamang damo in the new RJUR105.9 PINOY ROCK COUNTDOWN!

In the philippines, it is rare (though not impossible) to be in a band and just "be" in a band. That is, to be in a band all the time, as opposed to being in a band and having work and school and other things to do - and more often than not, even if you want to "be" in a band those other things come first and being in the band has to wait.

We here at ang bandang shirley all want to be in the band all the time, but of course things happen and tonight i'm at home typing this post instead of destroying cafe saguijo haha.

Atty. gaddi is out of town because of work, emmanuel david "emong" cabrera aguila has his hands full because of his musical directorship of the upcoming damas de noche musical this weekend (watch watch!). joe and zig are zapped because of work. selena probably needs the rest more than a sessionist-laden shirley performance, and a lineup of me, heidi and kathy g. probably won't do much destroying.

I wanna gig na ulet.

As per the last post, yeah we were on the radio and it was a lot of fun! I got to wake up at 4:45 in the morning to hitch a ride with Memphis of RJUR to the station and there i spent most of the show "wooooo" -ing into the mic. That was fun. I can't wait for the time when the whole band can afford to just shirley all the time, so that all 8 of us could be "wooooo" -ing into the mic.

inaantok na ako pero walang nagpopost

09:11 am - "the smart band" hahahahahaha

 

shirley was on rj underground this morning. owel woke up really early and he called me at about 545am to ask me what i wanted from burger machine. i said i needed to take a bath hahaha.

i was out of the house by 610 and got a cab despite morning rush. the atmosphere in the booth was really relaxed and we were just talking and laughing and teasing and i don't really know if it made entertaining radio, but WE were certainly having fun.

when ean arrived, i could only stay a few minutes, and i really didn't want to go because there was another whole hour to waste away but the boss expected me at work by 830 so...

... tore myself away at 815 for a sprint to citibank center and i barely made it to grace period! continued listening to bandmates on my player and shocked officemates several times by lauging out LOUD suddenly hahaha. this only confirmed what they've suspected for a really long time....

now it's back to the real world.

rewind to staurday. had lunch with the joyluck club at mom and tina's. things will be ok.

kathy invited me to a screening of cinemanila that night. they changed the schedule! we ended up watching waitress, which was ok. it touched me in some ways. quietly. then i became depressed for the rest of the weekend (but part of that was the hormone pills).

+++

but the point of this whole story is: thank god for my support group.

"i love you all. i love the world--- despite what it's done to me!!!"

haha.
