Blackvoid inspired

The hours, the days, weeks and years which have passed

scream

the calendar has been the grave of my dehydrated sleep

grim

It isnt December yet but the wind is as icy as this void

Within

Mario, unwanted

Im upstairs in my office/ music room/ asylum at 2 in morning. I just looked down at the staircase and glared at what seems to be a swamp like water which invaded the privacy of my humble abode. I never thought id have visitors again apart from Lenoire and John, but the water just barged in anyway. Ano pa magagawa ko? Without any warning, it seeped through the door and the cracks on the floor like watching Alice in wonderland gone wrong. I just heard the drum beat of this song in my head, gradually increasing its volume until Alanis clears hear throat and starts singing Uninvited I know i have a bad humor but No kidding. Ane and I tirelessly carried everything we can upstairs to save some of our precious belongings ( and the junk ) we accumulated over the years like we were on steroids. The memories of Ondoy has haunted us everytime we hear raindrops doing a dance number on our rooftop. Specially when I see water forming out on the streets. It's a signal that what I a dread the most is finally near. Today it happened again. And i totally hate the feeling. The last time water came into our house was a little over two years ago and now this. All i can do is now is wish the water level will go down as quick as it has gone up.

Too much Korean Novela, Death Doom Sunday!

We just finished eating lunch. Ane is on her usual past time. Watching Korean Novelas. Korean Novelas are her thing recently. It has been months now and never ceased to do so. It is a girly thing i guess. I watched some of it already and I can say they are pretty good. Way better than our local soap operas. The ones on have been watched already so twice is too much for me i guess. So I decided to go upstairs and go online and listen to some music. Some Death/ Doom metal will do just perfect on a slow Sunday afternoon. Here is a gem i just found. Crushing Death Doom Sunday! Rippikoulu - Kuolematon Totuus!

Who What Where When and Kawhi

This is kind of late but better late than never right? Congratulations to the San Antonio Spurs for becoming the 2014 NBA Champions. Redemption at its best! Nothing can be sweeter than that. Losing to the Miami Heat last year was heartbreaking. I would know because I was watching the whole series from Game 1 to 7. They were already about to wrap it up in Game 6 of last year but it slipped away from them. Ray Ray Allen saved Miami's ass with his game tying three pointer which forced the game to OT. It never had gone to OT if Kawhi Leonard only sunk all of his two free throws with 19 seconds left in the game. But this year boy did he make up for it. He led the San Antonio Spurs in Games 3, 4 and 5 to victory and claimed the Finals MVP award. I myself could not believe my eyes as Kawhi Leonard destroyed the Miami Heat! I am not a fan of the Heat organization since Riley became a part of it. I witnessed Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls step on the Miami Heat during the 90's and the addtion of Lebron James will not change the way I look at the organization. So I guess Karma can really be a bitch! It isnt going to be a surprise if we see the Miami Heat again in the finals next year but that will not make me become a fan at the least. So better luck next year! I'll wait till I see you get more than 7 titles Lebron! So far it has been entertaining really. LOL!

NBA Finals Game 4

This post is going to be short. Yesterday's result of game 4 of the NBA Finals was just unbelievable. San Antonio Spurs leads the series 3-1 and hell did they do it in fashion. Winning 2 straight in Miami, FL! They hammered the Miami Heat leaving them lifeless while going to the dug out after the last buzzer. According to NBA history, no team has ever bounced back from 3-1 deficit. Well Miami could be the first if they overcome this and everybody knows they are well capable of doing so. With their line up, it will be no surprise though. But just like any great basketball team, it would not like to be in a situation like this. Reasons like, for instance, the GOAT, Michael Jordan, gives everything he's got not to be in a position like that of Lebron James and company are in is because it is tough to get back and win three straight games against your opponent. Specially in the finals. I may not know the exact reason. I'm just sure it's something they avoid because it's going to be scary. A deep hole where it will be impossible to climb right back up. We will see on Monday ( Manila time) if the Spurs ends the series and take home the Larry O'Brien trophy or if Miami force it up to game 7. May the best team win.

My not so very favorite topic

116 years ago a guy named Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed that the Philippines has gained independence from Spain. Independence, Wow! Really? Honestly it makes me wonder how on earth did he find the guts to make up a bogus proclamation. Please to all Filipinos before we take whatever information is being fed to us do a research first. Base on what i have observed, most of my countrymen don't have any interest in history. I mean you don't need to be a historian or any of that sort just for you to pick up a book and read about some country. And it's not just some country, it is OUR country. It's a waste of time for most of us. My countrymen's reaction every time history is brought up is disappointing. Not to mention the knowledge or the lack there of. I am tired of talking about this but i really can't stand it.Last night we turned on the television to watch the news. I already knew what I was about to witness. It was all about stories of Filipinos fighting in a time when poverty and corruption are the kings. Street vendors, contractual employees, jeepney drivers just to name a few, were asked how they feel about being a Filipino. Their answers were simple. They replied they are proud. There should have been a follow up question. What is making you so proud of being one?

2014, AND, Death Metal

It's already year 2014. Nothing much new going on really. Since it has been a while I completely forgotten about my blogger password. Good thing that just like any other sites, I was able to recover my password. it would have pissed the $@#$ out of me if i lost this blog. Im tired of starting over and creating a new blog will be too much for me. I am starting to consider reactivating my Facebook account lately too. Deactivating it for more than a year has done me a lot of good deal and being offline for a few more years isnt really a bad idea likewise. Reinstating my presence on Facebook is not because of anything else but facing my fear. The fear of drowning into a cesspool of pungent news feeds, deliberating and Narcissistic images pummeling poignant nonsense regarding what is beautiful and not. I can't really remember how many people are in my so-called friends list but believe me when i say that most of them do't give a F@#$!The memory of how they got into my list is as clear as the polluted Pasig river. But that isn't important anymore.I'll utilize Facebook as how it should be. keeping in touch with who matters and staying abreast with what matters. i am going to do just that. Alvin and I have a lot of catching up to do. Haven't seen the guy for almost two years now? Yeah i think it's two years already. Anyways, AND has not made any progress since it was first conceptualized and 5 years is quite a bit long. I finished the first two tracks but have not been properly recorded yet due to time constraints and the lack of knowledge about recording. To simply put it, I am a complete idiot. The idea of AND was formed in the last quarter of 2009. I think it was a month after typhoon Ondoy made our apartment looked like a mosh pit on a rainy day. Muddy as hell! To cut the story short, Alvin dropped by at the house showed him how the first song is played. Voila! It gave birth to what i know now as AND. An alternative rock project supposedly but after a while it started to sound heavier than what it should. All the times i have listend to metal morphed AND and made it trudged a different path. It was an unconscious decision i guess as to where this thing leads to. Never really bothered me, seems that it was inevitable. Maybe I'll just put AND aside for the meantime and go on with a new one. Listening to death metal has altered everything including AND's course. Primarily it's a product of my limitations as an aspiring and struggling musician but in this case it has now developed into a progressing project. I could not care less if it doesnt sound appealing to most. For the first time in my life that Im proud of my work. i will see to it that AND will glimpse the light of day. Death Metal. Pure 90's death metal. Where the hell was I? I missed out on a lot. So many great bands came out during this era and influenced many artists. i could not name all of my faves cause there are too many of them. Jeez, All i grew up listening to was radio friednly songs which construe allegiance to what is IN or NOT. Here I am just like an archeologist has found the Holy grail, Death Metal sure is my cup of tea.great bands like Obituary, Morbid Angel, entombed, Carnage, Morgoth, Sickening Gore, Death, God macabre, Gorguts just to name a few. Death Metal Forever!
