My entire week was spent being drunk almost every single night so I’ll only post the highlights.

Part 1: 012 Closing Gig

I left Bacolod City at around lunch time of April 28 lugging along with me my Les Paul, and my compact digital effects.

I was looking forward to this gig all week, and had been like rehearsing like shit over and over again in my head the songs I was to play with my old band Pillbox (rap metal stuff), and as session to Shudifu to play…. emo songs!

Well anyway everything went well, we practiced during soundcheck and everything went fine that night. Place was packed with hundreds of people and it overflowed waay out into the streets.

(my ex is wearing the “single” shirt. WTF)

Ok so I dated my ex for that night. Bad idea?

We agreed to date that night cause we felt… appropriate? We met for the first time in this bar 6 years ago, and had hung out here ever since… so we felt it was a for old time’s sake to date each other and have fun on the last and final night of 012 bar.

2am we parted ways (I didn’t want to bring her home myself, i just got her a ride home and made sure she got home in one piece) and I joined my friends and got even more drunk and I slept at Val’s house where we spent the entire next day watching DVD’s.

Nothing beats closing a bar with a bang.

Took the 4pm boat trip back to Bacolod city and was puking along the way.

Part 2. Miggy’s Little Birthday Party

(Richard getting drunk. )

Still hungover and all I met Richard and Miggy for a quick band meeting before going home and we ended up having beers.

Tons of beers.

The three of us drank more than a case of Red Horse.

We happen to love Red Horse, for an obvious reason

I forgot how I got home that night. I totally lost memory.

I woke up the next day with the worst headache I ever had in years.

Part 3: The Youth Battle of the Bands in Iloilo City May 2

I was asked to judge a band contest (again) in Iloilo City. This was sponsored by Chiz Escudero.

Prizes we’re 10k, 5k, and 2.5k

I was like, OMFG wish I could have joined with my band.

Anyway….. our bassists band joined, backed up by Miggy and Richard.

First place went to JunJun’s Battery Charger who played really tight Kapatid covers, 2nd place went to errr….. Big Express BUT they won not because my bandmates were in that band, but because they played better than most of the contestants (they played a really tight set of cheese and greyhoundz covers, if you closed your eyes you’d thought you were hearing an actual live performance), plus they started the moshpit which for me was a major plus.

3rd came of course are my good friends Drive Letter, who play the most kick-ass originals this side of the universe.

As expected all three winners went to Stage 2 and partied the night away along Iloilo River.

3 bands with a combined cash of Php 20,000.00, and they happened to be one big barkada.
Thats enough money to get dozens of people drunk for a week.

You do the math what happened to us until 7am.

I was too drunk to even take a single picture.
