T Plate on my Right Humerous

I can't really remember the exact date when I got into a freaking accident. But this is the week when my right humerous got crashed and broken. Now the T-plate is right in place, and I have to leave with it for the next three years I hope.

I remember it really well what happened that night. I came from this bar up north. On my way home after two big bottles, I took this green and white cab, yeah MGE Taxi at Monumento. The ride was good and fast still have enough time to bring the wife to her night shift work.

The accident happened at the corner of commonwealth and this long hi-way coming from SM Fairview. I don't think I need to tell you the exact location,I don't think you'd know it either. Anyways, taxi running really fast and the driver asleep. I saw this light one block away still enough time to press on the break. But the taxi just kept its pace. I held real tight on the passengers rail that's right above the window at the back of the passengers seat and watch everything to happen. All along I thought the driver is wide awake and just lost the breaks, but he confessed later on that he felt asleep. Our cab slammed the wheels of this ten wheeler truck. I knew it'd be big. I even thought it was a bus since bus would take that route for a shortcut.

Bystanders came rushing giving us help and checking us out if we're still alive. I got so pretty much knocked out like riding a ferriswheel 100times faster then stopping all of a sudden.

Long story short, I'll have to leave with this T-plate in my arms for the next two freaking years. Yeah I'm still alive and very much kicking. So F*CK YEAH!

The Eraserheads concert pushed through at the Fort Open Field last Saturday Aug 30 2008 but was cut short which left 2 more sets and more fun songs unsung.

As what they've experienced,aside from loosing the Vans wallet thick chain,confidently left to the MEANEST and POOR APS Security Team of the event,almost 60,000 fans gathered ,some also lost a lot of items supposedly deposited to that plastic bag, even colognes and lotions were confiscated. But almost everybody of that 60,000 fans gathered, was just there listening to the songs down memory lane. Video walls and white screens at the field allowed fans to see close ups and be part of the countdown.

It begun to flash the pictures of the band way back the 90's. "Alapaap",with the bass intro mode raised the platform where Ely,Markus,Buddy and Raimund had their grand entrance. Fireworks were from the front then from above which worried people if it was good for Ely's health. At the kick off,Only Markus was wearing his plaid shirt well known Eheads look!

Buddy was in white, as Ely was, but he ended just in a red shirt. Although Raimund was in black tee from Grind Clothing and a green hair. He used to wear that color back during the days, goth eyeliners.

Ely remained in white with an aviator shades until he shook his head to sing "Shake yer head". Or was it the first sign of stress?

All throughout the singing ,with no shades in his eyes,you would witness his innocence,gentleness or maybe he was indeed already feeling weak .But that did not caught the attention of the crowd.

What then did?

The aerial camera caught on screen pretty girls banging their heads for every song they sing or in Dianne's case, Ely's partner,close ups for raising her arms while in her red dress and pearls.

Hmmm come to think about it,Ely even changed the first line of Toyang's Too Young" to "They tried,they really tried to tell us we're too old.Too old to really be Bold."
But later still went on singing "Mahal ko si Toyang pagkat siya'y simple lamang..."

Intrigued? Lips are sealed if Toyang did watch the concert.

Moving forward,the VIP section had fellow musicians,artists and even showbiz personalities.

The Patron,as well as those in General Admission wanted to push down the bars that divided the field but to no avail. It was from the Patron group where the "group hug" cheering started which made Ely grin as a "ngising aso" before singing Light Years, a song from the Fruit Cake album.

Then,Elly just sat down,half kneeling ,embracing his guitar.
Some thought it was emotional tears from the passing away of his mother just this Wednesday.

Then the lights went out of the stage and the watch begun to tick for BREAK!
Close to a 30 minute break,Buddy,Markus and Raimund introduced, Ely's sister, Lally, by saying, "Kasama namin si Lally ang kapatid ni Ely.Makinig kayong mabuti.Alam naming makakaintindi kayong lahat."

And so the physical and emotional stress Ely is going through has been understood.
No more details ,which was supposed to be mentioned by the Promoter,as what Raimund said,was heard.

But a one minute request to pray for Ely's recovery was the most important thing that came out from the organizers. Will there be a part two of the reunion?
For the Eheads much probably.

Check out the posts and video c/o Mark Escueta and Quark Henares at Philmusic.com for their Saguijo jamming.

But for the stage, that should be, again,included in our prayers. Rest and Get well soon to us all.

Keep rockin' ELY!!!

Bwakananginang SMARTBRO at GLORIA

Minsan nalang ako sa isang linggo kung mag post ng walang kakwenta kwentang post, sisirain pa ng SMART BRO. Sobrang bagal ng koneksyon ko. Di tuloy ako makapag youtube saka torrent ng sabay.

Isa sa mga nakikita kong dahilan ay dahil walang pasok ang mga kabataan. Susme! Lumabas ako kanina at pumunta sa FEU para makipaglandian sa mga therapist ko dun. Nakupo nasilip ko ang isang kompyuter syap, di mahulugan karayom sa dami ng batang naglalaro at nagpefriendster. Lahat tambay ng internet cafe! Kaya ako eto nagtatyaga sa mala dial up na koneksyon.

Mga bata talaga ngayun! Kaya nga mga anak ko pinatulog ko muna, dahil kaninang umaga habang ako'y nilalandi ng aking therapist, sila ang nagpakasasa sa pag gamit ng nagiisang kompyuter ng bayan, ang kompyuter ko.

Isa pa sa mga nakikita kong dahilan kung bakit mabagal ang aking internet ay dahil may SONA, bwakananginang GLORIA, lunes na lunes sinisira araw ng mga manggagawang pilipino. Nangangako ng kung ano ano. Sana man lang sa susunod na linggo na lang yung SONA para lahat ng tao nakapagout of town. Kaso hindi na nakapaghintay ang lola nyo.

Kaya ayun, habang walang sweldo ang mga tao pilit nambobola ng kung ano ano. Ano nga kaya, kung nauna ang sahod bago ang SONA. May makikinig kaya sa kanya. Tyak ko wala, dahil lahat out of town, nag long weekend. Kahit umuulan nasa dagat at pinipilit magsurf.

Pero kahit may sahod malamang wala pa ding makikinig sa kanya. Makita mo ang pila sa LITEX? Makailang ikot ang tao sa pagpila para sa isang butil bigas?

Buhay nga naman! Minsan itatawa mo na lang.
