The Host Club is now open! [peminista v.5]

[24 September 2005] Counterstain!

Counterstain!!! Congrats sa'tin! Hehehehe. Det, Nicie, Tal, Rox and Reg... love you guys!

Anyway, remember the band we formed that I was raving about the other entry? We finally had our first performance this evening in PHacoustics, and I think we did okay. Di naman kami nagkalat... kung nagkalat man, it's not as much as we all probably expected to

. Hehe.

Ang funny kasi kami lang yung bihis na bihis. We were all in black tops and dark jeans, and we even put on eyeliner, lip gloss and cheek tint before entering the backstage. Tapos makikita na lang namin na yung iba, wala lang, as in kung ano yung pinangpasok nila, yun din. Hahaha. Oh diba, at least, mukhang prepared (take note, the word is "mukhang"). Hehe.

We sang Runaway by the Corrs (me on vocals, Nicie on violin, Reg on piano, Tal on shaker and backup, Det and Rox on guitars), Ang Pag-ibig Kong Ito by Moonstar88 (Det on vocals, Nicie, Tal and me on guitars, Rox on shaker),and 214 by Rivermaya (Tal on vocals, me on shaker and backup, Reg on piano, Det and Rox on guitars, Nicie on shaker). O diba? Rotation ito! Hehehe.

Anyway, it was really fun. Tama nga yung sinabi ni Ate Kat, that we should not think that we're doing this because we're singing for them, the audience, but we're singing because we love to sing and we love music. We're just like singing to ourselves, but really out loud, loud enough for others to hear. Hehehe. Sabi nga ni Rox after ng performance na parang ayaw niya umalis sa stage after naming magperform. Rox, the feeling is mutual!

Okay din yung pagpapractice namin ng mga 3 weeks. Hehe.

Galing nga pala ng Fireproof Caloy! Pwede na pang sabak sa intercollegiate band competition. You should all hear them... ganyan din naman nagsimula ang Sponge Cola, diba? So, I'm pretty sure that they're going to reach heights as well

.

The band that played before them was soooo cool as well! Kumpleto gamit ba! Bass guitar, lead guitar, their own kahon, sosyaling shaker (sa'min kasi itlog lang, hehe), female vocalist, male vocalist, backup... and my favorite, may chimes pa sila ha!

Ang galing, ang galing!

Counterstainers, rock on (kahit di naman tayo purely mga rockista, hehe)!!!

Hope we'd have more opportunities to make music together again
