time...its time! wake up! time to  get out of this nightmare and play the game fair...unipolar decisions i will make this comming week...read between the lines..."you know paolo? you dont know chec..." i will not let them know who chec is...baka ma-bewilder eh hahahah! pa-order po ng peace of mind...tsaka dagdagan mo na din ng konting bilis please? thanks!

my new job is perfectly comparable to the music scene...its like i came from indie dark art core trippy hoppy happy scene to mainstream pop....hard ass work! iba yung "stressed out and i jus wanna sleep" than "im sooo tired...lets drink!". its not that im not happy with my job now, coz i am happy and enjoying! iba lang talaga yung challenge...this is more of an international league than an inter-state league...yan ang theme ngayon...mala batman! you go out and be known to the masses as a normal person but live a different life on the side...hard to spell but i get my point! harhar! happy valentine's day! peace *chec*

so...lumabas na yung labum ng AMPON nung Oct 2006, we launched the album nung Nov 4 2006, it was a big break for us...we are so proud of ourselves when we realized that we actually released a legit album...from our pockets! basta alot of stuff happened before and after new year...onga pala wala na ako sa Seventy7, i'm now a management trainee @ Cravings West ave branch...si tec nag graduate na, SA WAKAS naka-inuman ko ulit highschool troops ko! yes and of course senglots as usual =).....heres a flash, i'm not planning on leaving music and/or the music scene at this point...enthusiast is an enthusiast. i'm just framing my time and produce an EP or maybe a solo album this year. brainstorm lang muna, plan, produce, decide...the time will come. sana maka singit ako sa mga prods and of course AMPON's still out there performing from the deepest note of our larynx's and so as Electronicamanila!...i'm just not as active as before coz its kinda hard to manage time nowadays considering that i'm employed this time...not a student that can skip class anytime i want...i have BIG responsibiities that i have to tackle everyday...i wish...sana i could establish my work fast and efficient so i have time to make new sounds on new grounds...coz i'm still in the process of catching dust from the wind right now.....good luck sakin! just let me figure out where this peice places out on my puzzle....pag nakuha ko na...then...let's go! game! tara! ano?! hahahhaha! peace! *chec*

Fete de la Musique is now a much-awaited annual
international music festival. It started in France in
1982 - an idea of former French Minister of Culture
Jack Lang. The objective was pretty simple - to
celebrate the upcoming of Summer by inviting
musicians, amateurs and professionals, to perform
for free in public places like parks, streets, railway
stations, museums, and so on. This idea soon
became very popular, and thanks to our cultural
network of French Embassies, French Cultural
Centers and Alliance Franaises, Fte de la
Musique is now celebrated in more than 120
different countries. All these musicians playing
simultaneously on the same day, in so many
different places, certainly makes it the biggest
multi-cultural festival in the world
