andaming gagawin
January 25, 2008Yesterday was jamming night #1 for me with my officemates. See previous two posts. Sana maulit muli. Haha.
Tonight was bowling night. Our team had a star frame (this is when everyone on the team is able to close their frame) and I was able to bowl a turkey for the first time (as far as I could recall)! All in all, that merited a chocolate bar, a pack of Chewy Chips Ahoy and a bag of Lay’s Potato Chips for everyone. Itsssalllll gooood! Hehe. Fun and good food for everyone.
I’m in the office right now and will head home in a while. But there will be no sleeping tonight since I’m planning to go along with a couple of officemates and members of PinoyPentaxian to a Cavite-Batangas Nature Photo EB tomorrow. The guys plan to catch the sunrise so we’ll be leaving Manila at 3:00am. This should be worth though. Everyone there will be photo-hobbyists so it should be a fun trip and learning experience. ^_^
Oh, and I just signed up for a trip that our photo club in the office is holding. It’s gonna be on Feb 16-17 and we’ll be heading to Pinatubo. At least ito 6:30am naman ang departure from Ortigas so did masyadong puyat. The cost is steep (Php3,000) but I’m guessing it whould be worth it. ^_^
OMG. So when I combine this now with my other plans and the depressingly !@#!@%!%! workload in the office… Wow, I’m probably going to be busy these next several weeks O.o

carrying a beat
after years of air drumming (just like air guitar) I was finally able to play drums for the first time! \m/ woohoo!!! \m/
it’s not really a band… more like a bunch of friends from work who like jamming together: jay and rj on guitars, sheldon on bass, crab on drums (with me as a substitute) and mote on vocals. this is around their third time jamming together while it was my first to join them.
i was supposed to just hang out, take photos and stuff. but after showing some interest for the instrument, crab handed me the drumsticks eventually and i took the skins for a spin. we were able to complete a song with me on drums - AC/DC’s "You Shook Me All Night Long" - and I don’t think i did half bad! really! well, i’m not sure what my officemates were thinking, but i thought i was able to hold the beat decent enough. considering it was my first time, i’d have to say that this feels promising. i like it! tapon na gitara, drums na to!
come to think of it, it feels comfortable behind that ton of plastic and metal. i always thought that if i were in a band, i’d be most comfortable on rhythym guitar. after last night though, drumming makes an awfully strong case for itself. it seems to suit my shy and snobish low-profile under-the-radar personality… and i freakin’ LOVE a good beat. air drumming beats air guitar any day. plus, it’s fun to go wild on drums and it’s not so hard to improvise with a basic 4-beat.
yun nga lang, mahal ang drums… it takes up a lot of space… and it’s hella noisy. so for now, pang-jamming lang talaga.
