“The first rule of Fight Club? There is no Fight Club!”
We recently played a gig at Mayric’s with Hale. To say that there were a lot of girls is an understatement. As one friend put it, after Hale played, it was like looking at a magic show, where there was this very small car, and two dozen clowns start getting out of the car. It was something like that, except the clowns were a bunch of girls! And the girls were all flocking Champ, the vocalist, a whole bunch of them were holding out phone cameras to get a picture.
So anyway, naturally, we were all amazed at all the brouhaha.
And, the bunch of obnoxious fools that we are, we started imitating this ruckus by holding out our cellphones (which don’t have camera phones) and imitating them. We thought (and still think) that it’s funny. Apparently, their roadie saw this and got insulted. Kinuwento sa amin, dapat susugurin na kami, pero kinausap ni Raimund, sabi niya, "Men, sagot ko yang mga yan."
Anyway, nung Sunday na lang namin nalaman ito. Tapos, nalaman ko kanina, kay Kerwin (our Manager) naman daw sila galit, kasi nang-aalaska daw. Sabi naman sa akin ni Kerwin, Hale was supposed to play after CPT and before us. Yun daw yung usapan. Pero, nag-pumilit na sumalang nang maaga, kasi straight from Tarlac daw sila that night. Baka doon na sila nagka-pikunan ni Kerwin.
Ang opinion ko diyan: Ang babaw lang. Parang mga batang high school na nag-away kasi hindi nagka-intindihan. Parang, "kailangan mas mataas yung ihi ko kaysa sa iyo". Ang babaw eh. Napaka-insecure mo naman kung tingin mo lahat ay threat or insulto sa inyo.
Think about it, a better man would have said, "Hahaha, inggit lang kayo. Kasi kami SIKAT. Kayo hindi."
Kami, we’re just having a good time. Chill lang kayo, para kayo rin ma-enjoy niyo ito.

Parati namang seryoso si Raimund eh! Ü

i thought and still think it’s funny too. hehe!
pero siguro our manner of showing how we found it funny spelled the difference.
yan ang mahirap pag may relatively higher profiles eh noh. namamagnify ang mga wala naman talagang kaso. hehe

di ko maintindihan, kuya? bat naman ganon? it’s just one of those laffin matters na hindi naman kelangan seryusohin..
anyway, let’s just all have fun..
this reminded me of the Light Peace Love album launch.. dun sa VIP entrance, mas pinapansin pa ata si Champ Lui-Pio kesa dun sa ibang magpe-perform.. hehe.. not that I don’t like him though.. pero di naman kelangan umabot sa samaan ng loob di po ba?
ah basta, were all hapi.. and that’s a wrap!
dyarann!!!

si raimund kaya palaging mukhang seryoso kasi malabo na ang mata… ayaw nya lang talaga suoting ang salamin nya! haha!
ang may stage of disillusionment na ang subjects kaya ganun… bata pa kasi… palampasin na lang natin..
there is no fight club!

Okay, ganito:
Naka-usap ko na yung friend ko na kinausap ng manager ng Hale (si Russel). Nagka-problema daw yung drummer kay Kerwin kasi nga dahil sa schedule. Nag-sumbong din daw sila kay Russel kasi tinatawag namin silang “pogi”.
Ewan ko sa inyo, pero pag tinawag akong “pogi” hindi naman ako magagalit, di ba? Ü
Anyway, i think settled naman na daw sila. Na-disturb lang daw sila kasi matatanda kami (señor daw tingin sa amin). Sabi ng friend ko, “Buti nga hindi malalaki ang ulo nila kahit na sikat na sila. Would you rather mag-aangas sila? Mga bata yun, pare!”
Personally, i would rather have them to just laugh it off. Because that’s what we did.
:oP

nakakatawa lang na nung araw na nabasa ko yung post mo jugs, may nabasa din akong article sa isang pinoy migrants’ magazine dito sa japan tungkol sa hale! hehe. coincidence lang
August 7th, 2005 at 4:39 am
you guys should’ve seen the screaming fans rocking champ’s car.. very disturbing..
August 18th, 2005 at 2:44 am
haha, ganyan talaga pag bata… grabe, hale who/what? antanda ko na kasi eh!
baka kaya sila nagreact sa “pogi” kasi di sila naniniwalang pogi sila. eheehee, there are a lot of pretty boys and girls out there who’re irritatingly “insecure” about their looks - maraming models and artistas na ganyan ha.

Yeah, i totally agree, annette.
Btw, ang tagal mo na ngang wala sa Pilipinas. Buhay na ulit ang band scene dito… Dahil yan sa Bamboo, Kitchie Nadal, 6Cycle Mind and Sugar Free…. Kasama na din ang mga new bands ngayon, tulad ng Cueshe, Hale, Sponge Cola, etc etc.
