the allure of twitter and the agony of isolation

it seems as though everybody wants to twitter. tweeting is an addiction. otherworldly and bizarre.

the question is still being posed. do i create and tweet or stay in the sideline and act like a muggle.

***

new silent sanctuary album is out. they just had their album launch at cubao x if my memory serves me right. finally completed francis m and secured monique rae.

methinks there should be a musicblogging community to be the catch all of everything music, the way food bloggers do their thing or even toy bloggers do their thing.

***

my family is going out to the province next week and i am so stuck. this is so not going to go well. at least my cousins are not going as well. *sigh* but i really would like to go. my superiors will kill me, however.

***

final four is set: michigan state - connecticut vs villanova - north carolina.

all-america is set: blake griffin, tyler hansbrough, stephen curry, james harden, dajuan blair.

to tweet or not to tweet, old friend.

with all the major brouhaha over twitter, i wonder if i should be going to do it as well. i mean, do i have to? is there a inner need?

so i am asking the world why should i tweet. sell me the idea.

if you have twitter, place it here.

****

it is very nice when people recognize you. i was at kyla's podium mall show a few hours ago. she recognized me from before. (very easy since i wore an ateneo jersey hahaha...). rich was not around, though (i thought he had a game today, to which the r&b princess said that he played last thursday.) afterwards, i planned to have a picture, to which kyla introduced me as one of rich's friends at ateneo to the kyla onliners. yey. gotta love it. oh, and jon santos loves the album.

****

related to that, i finally got to see monique rae in person. she sounds like ashlee simpson, with a feel of kitchie nadal. have a pic with her, too.

****

half of the final four is complete. Villanova and Connecticut. Tomorrow, the rest will be known.

Hardware Syndrome redux

I am pleased that Polyeast has decided to reissue 4 albums of Francis M

The picture on the left is a package containing Yo!, Rap is Francis M and Meron Akong Ano.

Happy Battle was sold separately.

Now I still need Freeman.

Just to confirm, is the 2-in-1 of Francis M purely Freeman?



Another thing: minor plugging: http://shoutnowshirts.multiply.com/ contains statement shirts that really do mean what it actually means.

Thanks to Playboy Philippines for the Presscon earlier. Here is a patikim.

Happy Anniversary, Playboy.

April 2009 issue will be available to the public on March 27.

apologies from Cydonia

it has been awhile since i last wrote, and things just came about and turned things into what they are now. i have been a bit stressed and unhinged.

good thing for blogger friends, good friends, best friends and spartyandfriends.

i missed out dolce. i thought that i would be able to squeeze that in, but my personal enjoyment that night was something i just cannot resist. to those who were there, kindly share stories.

i needed a refresh button. sunday was something that really made me feel good. i still feel a bit lonely, but i can manage (for now)

i am disappointed with the way things are going out there. it is as if the world lives in poisoned air. change is an immediate priority, but there is a need for it to come out sooner than what ought to be. people must emerge to lead.

bracket's busted. chaos reigns, but chalk still stands.

another work week begins. *sigh*

curb the enthusiasm.

i apologize for the delays with the posts. stress from work, kaya ganire. anyway, you will probably see a lot of activity from this blog this weekend.

i have probably at least 5 posts pending. that is not counting the 3/7/9 thing.

anyway, i need an artificial enhancement of good vibes. maybe this would help...

Francis M the Freeman

first things first: RIP Francis M.

i might be shopping for Francis M stuff later before i go to work.

You are going to get a whole lotta lovin' from this part of the kaleidoscope world. A part of Philippine Music died today, and i think a part of ourselves, too. He shared his life with us and we related our lives through his music. He will be sorely missed.

moving on....

scratch that. this deserves its own post.

vaya con dios, francis m. *fist clenched and raised to the blue sky*
