| kelangan na ulet magkalaman tong blog na to, kahit memes man lang. tagged by hannah. Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog. 1. whenever i'm commuting (and i don't happen to be asleep at the time, which is rare), i imagine passing vehicles as no bigger than my hand. it's kinda like that perspective trick of blotting out the sun with your thumb. then i imagine picking cars up and slamming them into each other, or throwing them (bloody people and all) into a mass of pedestrians. very therapeutic. 2. i can't play a song on the guitar if i'd already played it recently. so if anyone requests anything, that's fine, but if another wants to hear it again, so sorry. i call it 'videokeng walang ulitan'. 3. at least one day out of every week, nobody knows where i am or what i'm doing. 4. i'm always early. if there's someone i have to meet somewhere or there's an event i have to attend, i will normally be there at least an hour or two early, scouting the area and watching the people. in unfamiliar locations, that would mean three hours' headtime, or more. the only exception: work. 5. i know all the words to almost 100% of songs i like, and about 85% of songs i'm familiar with. i also can tell you who sang which particular song, about 7 times out of 10. 6. i love walking; it really clears my head. the farthest i've walked is home from roxas blvd (where the heritage hotel is), one night when it was very faintly drizzling. btw, i live in cavite, so it's a hell of a long walk. the buck stops here! no more tags! |

| ladies and gentlemen, i give you the ultimate greatest song ever played on a six-string nylon. what has made me very, very excited about this video is that the style of play very much coincides with how i've tried to play since learning the guitar about 12 or 13 years ago. most of the time, i don't have anyone to jam with, and so i resorted to solo arrangements. if i had only learned earlier that arranging for solo guitar could be taken to this extreme... === i have now found my life's calling. thank you, edgar cruz. EDIT: I HAVE TABS! I WILL CONQUER YOUUUUUUUUUU! |

| to keep up with the mtg-related posts: mistform ultimus watch!  what am i? this little bugger is one of my favorite creatures in magic, simply because he has every creature type in existence. all his creature types are on the link i put above. this means he's a Giant Pixie-Queen, a Crocodile Bureaucrat Horror, a Brother Sister Mummy, a Plant Survivor, a Juggernaut Maiden, a Zubera Sliver, a Bull Egg, and my favorite -- Mutant Ninja Turtle! |

| it's like a magic [workstation] ! | |
|
|

| just recently i acquired this great software called Magic Workstation (you can find and download the software at the MWS website). what it does is provide an organizable inventory and non-automatic play environment for different collectible card games; you only have to provide the master card inventory and scanned card pics for the ccg game you want. so anyway, i loaded up a magic: the gathering (hereafter termed as mtg) inventory, and started deckbuilding. it's a piece of mtg heaven, because now i don't have to worry about not having cards for my crazy deck ideas. true, i have a magic:online account, but MTGO doesn't cover cards from very old blocks, and my card inventory there is very small (because you STILL have to buy virtual cards from the store or from online sellers, and that's a hassle). if you like playing with cardboard, there's also this option where you can print proxy cards (9 to a page). Alpha Black Lotus, here i come for yo skinny ass! anyone want a copy? buzz me up, and prepare a blank dvd. the software itself is just 10mb and the mtg master base is less than 1mb, but the card pics are a whopping 2gb. ===== for my mtg-playing readers (do i even STILL have readers?), there's this legacy (that's type 1.5 for you oldies) deck that's now out, and due to lifting of some rules errata, is dangerously close to breaking the format entirely. it's called Hulk Flash, and is capable of performing turn-1 or turn-0 kills with regular consistency. here's an FS-updated version of the deck. if you have the MWS software, you can cut and paste this text and save it as an .mwDeck file.

| wednesday play | |
|
|

| jamming on wednesday with my cousin, his girlfriend, and two other friends of theirs. i haven't met the bassist, but dj (the lead guitarist) is probably the best shredder i've met. he won an online competition sometime ago, where contestants have to submit an original instrumental rock composition. he introduced me to dream theater and liquid tension experiment (both are bands with john petrucci and mike portnoy in it), and i am so loving these 2. anyway, we've tossed ideas back and forth about what direction the music should take, and so far the consensus has been to explore some styles and then figure out what we really want. we suggested one song each, and then play all those with a little modification to try and make them lean toward a particular sound. from what i've seen, i think the initial direction would tend more towards an alt-jazzy-blues-rock type mutant. so here's what we're going to be practicing for wednesday just for kicks, and it is one weird fuck of a playlist: everything but the girl - missing spin doctors - two princes foo fighters - this is a call plumb - real rent ost - take me or leave me i'm excited, though. i've seen janet (my cousin's gf) perform on a videoke once, and she has a nice high, adaptable voice. dj, the lead guitarist, is a competitive shredder, but doesn't sacrifice melody for speed. he's also great at modding styles; dj used to work for a music studio, recording songs for a company that makes videoke music with real-life instruments instead of midi compositions. my cousin erick's on the drums; i'm on rhythm. ayun. masaya na naman sa wednesday!
