am bloggart, not a braggart. having hard time changing my settings here.
have not been driving much, encountering the usual assholes on the road. theyve been digging up tejeron again, and that alternate street from PRC and syquia has been totally blocked off so theres major traffic around the area again.
Anyway, am psyched to hear that 88.3FM wanted us, LicketySplit to guest in their show. incredibles! We did San Miguel's ACoustic Hours, Intramuros just last friday and some guys from 88.3 were there and that they have seen us perform before (maybe that gig with Kapatid and The Dawn at Streetlife?). Nothing, except for semi big gigs have happened to Lickety before since our band is pretty tamad and we only play when we get invited. This may be a step up for this band.
We have also been included in spoonconcepts website but have not gotten gigs from this events group. wassup widdat? ohwells, at least we get some online publicity.
go lickety!

i couldve been a cartographer......
i know manila roads like the back of my hand, seriously. girls are usually appalled by my guts to commute to unknown places and guys are in awe of my excellent sense of direction.
anyway, yesterday, i commuted to ndomingo. i rode a total of 4jeeps that took 15-20 minutes each at the most. but going home was different. I wasnt really heading home but had to go to the Ayala museum to see an exhibit that held one of dad's works. I took 1 jeep to the MRT but when i got there, the whole upperfloor was packed with frikkin atenean and lasallian college kids. seems like I got there just as the UAAP finals ended a coupla minutes ago. they too were all taking the train home since cubao is pretty dangerous, perhaps they all left their volvos and beamers and wallets home. the lines wove around and around and it felt like EDSA 2. godammit! just when i was in a hurry too! so i decided to take a bus to the next station, which was of course empty. I took that all the way to buendia and was supposed to ride another bus to ayala ave but it was traffic. took 2 jeeps via buendia route. why, you may ask, do i bother going about things the hard way? why dont i just take one bus all the way? i hate riding buses, especially if i come from cubao or farther. the train is always better, and faster, and i like to keep moving. the 3jeep,1bus, 1train ride route was my choice and would have still gotten me there faster than if i took just one busride at that hour.
buti sana if i had a discman. then, again, im just helluv impatient.
