Three-Day Christmas Party

Day 1:
Nakaplano talaga. Merong Christmas Dinner kami kasi pare-pareho kaming mga walang pinuntahan na Christmas party (except kay Yonabelles). Tsaka munting salo-salo din ng mga taong walang magawa sa buhay. Kaya nagtipon-tipon kami sa kabayahan ni Pedring! (Yiz Atee?).

Ang aming pinagsaluhan? Sosyal kami. Carbonara. Roasted chicken. Garlic bread. At red tea. O di ba? Bonggang bongga! Kasama sa salu-salo sila Poknat, Yonabelles, John Olops, at siyempre, si Pedring! (Yiz Atee?) kasi nga bahay niya yun. May cute na cute pa nga siyang Christmas tree eh.



Nung umuwi sila Poknat at Yonabelles ng mga bandang 9 ng gabi, aba'y ang tatlong natira - ako yun, si John Olops, at si Pedring! (Yiz Atee?) - ay nanood ng Eva Fonda. Sa lahat naman kasi ng puwedeng ipalabas ay yun pa ang channel na aming napuntahan. Take note, lahat kami nagsasabi ng kung anu-ano kontra sa palabas pero di rin namin pinapalitan ang channel. Wahaha. Napaghahalata.

Anyway, sa aming pagninilay-nilay, naisipan naming uminom at pinuntahan namin si FB. Aba'y si FB ay taong bahay sa kanila noong gabing iyo kaya't di nakarating sa aming salu-salo. Pero nakatikim din siya ng pagkasarapsarap na carbonara na gawa ni JK na pagkaganda-ganda naman. Wahaha.

Ano pa't lumabas na ang Matador at aming pinagpiyestahan. May chicharon din palang lumabas kaya't si FB ay kumuha din ng sukang pinakurat. Kung ano man yun, basta yun na yun.



Day 2:
Pinuntahan namin ni Poknat si Pedring! (Yiz Atee?) sa kanyang tahanan kasi wala kaming ibang magawa. At nung andun na kami ay biglang naisipan ni Poknat na uminom. Pero nagninilay-nilay pa kami kung itutuloy ang naiisip.

Dumating si Jho D' Sexy at kami'y naghuntahan ng mahigit isang oras. Dumating na din si John Olops. Nung umalis si Jho D' Sexy, ice cream ang gustong kainin ng sangkatauhan. Nag ice cream kami, thanks to Poknat! Yahoo!

Nung uuwi na ako bago mag-alas dose (Cinderella kasi ako eh! Wehehe!), ayaw akong pauwiin ng mga mokong at mag-iinuman na lang daw. Kaya si Matador ay nagpakitang muli at inumaga na kami ng inom.


Day 3:
At dahil dalawang araw nang umiinom, nagmukha kaming SQwater kinaumagahan. That's Day 3. Nagtagal pa kami dun hanggang halos magtanghali.

Pahapyaw sa Blind Item

Sa hindi masabing dahilan, nangalap ang T.S.O.K.O ng mga importanteng 'clues' upang matukoy kung sino ang love team na nabanggit sa mga nakaraang post. Ayon sa masusing pagsisiyasat ng TSOKO, ang mga suspetsado sa namumuong tambalan ay nanggaling sa CONTENinenTe ng Asya. Napag alaman na ang tambalan ay binubuo ng dalawang TL!!!!Huwaaaat!??

Sa ngayon ay wala pa ring konkretong kasagutan ukol sa mga hiwagang nangyayari dito sa Opis. Naway magsilbi ito na isang mabigat na prueba na ang pag-ibig ay walang pinipiling lugar, panahon, edad at hitsura. LOL.

P.S: Hindi Pa ito confirmed... Suspects lang.;)

Pwede Ko Ba? by The Gearbox

What’s up everyone? Are you guys having fun? I guess the last post presented by our very own BernAlie (Bernard & Rosalie) made history yesterday… It was the rise of Jesikka Kalaka! Ooh yeah, the half girl, half audio speaker (the large one)!

Anyway, moving on with our next entry, I’d like to share a music video (with lyrics, videoke style!) from an underground group of musicians called the Gearbox (sound like Sh*t eh?). There’s no interesting stuff to talk about regarding the band’s name because they pulled it off impromptu. The Gearbox is composed of three members, and there are no great stories to tell about these guys as well. I’ve heard the band lasted for only three weeks. LOL. Let’s all set aside the band’s history and proceed with the music video which was their first and last single hit in 2007.

In mid-August 2007, The Gearbox stunned the “private music industry” by bringing in their debut hit single entitled Pwede Ko Ba? The song was arranged, composed and recorded at Roderos Recording Studio (Olops’ rooftop) in EMsville, Albay. Words were provided by Mr. Lowma (The Bubble King pup!) and John Olops. The song was highly-inspired by Mr. Basilio’s lovelife struggles by the way…

Oh Crap! Wait a sec, how can i forget those valuable people who made this exceptional music video a success? I'm so sorry guys.

We would like to thank the following:

* Jeremy Cirjuales - Gearbox percussionist, back-up vocals, director and special effects master.

* Mr. JB Basilio - Back-up vocals, producer and scriptwriter.

* JK aka Jesikka Kalaka - cameraman, Gearbox groupie

* Nikki - cameragirl

...we also want to thank the EXTRAS and the Supporting Cast for their marvelous performance. Thank You so Much! Break a Neck!

To have a deeper and clearer understanding of the song, I present to you the (drum rolls please)…The Gearbox!
