Still at office.
Waiting for some materials to get finished.
Decided to look for pictures from Fete dela Music.
Instead, I found this... "Let's face the bare facts. Very few guys watch pop-rock ensemble Mojofly just to see Ricci Gurango on bass or Junjun Regalado on drums.... Not to slight the rest of the band, but isn't it true that the guys really want to see Katrina "Kitchie" Nadal doing her thing?"

Ohhh yesss! :)
I most definitely agree.
Saw her at Fete last Saturday.
We were on our way out of Sidebar when she stepped on stage.
So, we stuck around for one song.
Man... she is a sight.

Later went back up to Sidebar to catch the last couple of songs of Barbie.

After her set, the crowd disappeared. Guess they were all Barbie fans.
Anyway, that allowed me and Brandie to go up to the bar and get seats really close to watch Cooky and Color It Red.

There was a time when every gig I'd watch of Color It Red, I'd get an idea for a Batch72 story. Back in March, I watched them at Sanctum and even though I had a lot of fun watching, slumped in one of those comfortable couches of Sanctum, I felt... felt sad that story came to me. All of sudden, I realized that Kupcake, Brown-out and the rest of the Batch barkada were strangers to me. I've forgtten what they sound like when they talk, forgetten what it was like to be around them.

Anyway, Saturday night was fun. Well, maybe I didn't get any story, but I think some crazy ideas came to mind. It's just uncanny how much Cooky really looks like Kupcake. Goes to show Arnold really captured her image and likeness. Cooky has this angle, especially when her face partly covers her face that she really seems like Kupcake come to life. (Sorry, am I drooling?)

I really liked their new song called "You", a very trippy love song by Bopip, written for Barbie (of course!).
That song will part of their upcoming fourth album.

They also sang "I Need You Here". Nice to hear it again. Would also be nice to hear Cooky sing it and she'll just be accompanied by Sam on a grand piano. Hmmm...

Budjette Tan 2023 update

Hi all! If you have somehow stumbled upon this old blog looking for something TRESE related, then you've come to right place.   Well... kind of.   Hi! I'm Budjette Tan, the writer of the comic book TRESE, which I co-created with Kajo Baldisimo.  You can get updates about the book over at https://www.facebook.com/TreseComics   I sometimes talk about the other things I'm writing about at https://www.facebook.com/BudjetteTanStories   And I'm also on Instagram, where I post about what I'm reading, eating, and of course about Trese https://www.instagram.com/budjette/   Over at Twitter, I'm just RT-ing and posting about comics, movies, and whatever else pops up on my feed https://twitter.com/budjette  I'm also on TikTok, but I don't know what to do with that account, so there's nothing to see there. And here's a picture of me about to enter a balate tree... it's not the Great Balete Tree and it did not transport me to another realm. But it wa
PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living
