Rockademy
Went to rockacademy last night (DBTC's fair) with nikka and ruby. As i was a broke, i never really planned anything for this weekend till i got nikka's text asking me if i would come to the concert. I thought what she was referring to would be next week's event, so i disregarded her message because,
it was nikka' texting, meaning it was an open ended question because that's the way she uses her phone, she texts lots of quote messages but will never reply seriously to your messages. but i the thought bugged me for a while.why would she text such if she had told us last week that their fair would be on the 2nd week of feb? so, i called ruby over the phone. Shoot. she wasnt there. So when would the concert really be, I wont have any idea. so, i contented myself surfing the net for hours till the phone rang. Hehe luckily, it was ruby. Asking me to go to the concert rather, ordering me to go. There. My question answered. The event was this weekend. But i dont have any bucks to spend for some ticket or any stuff now. So, i decided not to come. Until ruby offered to pay for my tickets. Okay. with NO ARGUMENT NECESSARY, i've said that i would go. there.
the event was hosted by some jc guy, a senior marketing student whose voice was really very nice. fit for a dj or so, i wonder what we'll he be doing in the market industry...? wooing customers perhaps. LOL. He was joined by fhm december issue cover, guitar heroine, karen who was, in my opinion, a narcissist. Rudeness, aside, okay, that was an overstatement. Self-conceited will do. Seriously, I cant remember anything else that she has ranted about besides those with the lines which start with
'I'.I have a band blah blah blah... i practiced at blah blah blah at sta
mesa blah blah blah. I personally like the theme/title rockacademy, because
I am a rocker myself. blah blah blah.
Dumb. She has stated that she like the title, with exaggeration aside, for a couple of really irritating times. What the heck? Wasnt there anything else to rant about? Point taken, the title was ok. Who cares if youre in love with it? She shouldve done some good hosting, establish a connection with her co-host and not bore the audience. Which reminds me that she also sounded dull, and sleepy at some point. What a great thing for a host. And she's a what... a dj?
Plus hadnt it come to her thoughts that she was hosting an event for a catholic school. As the name implies, Don Bosco Technical School, is an institute of values. If i remember correctly at the start of the event, she was saying something about liquors. Like how liquors were needed for the audience to have some feel for the event. Stupid. Was that supposed to be her kickoff line? Okay okay, say i am being rude and that oblivion is bliss. Maybe she wasnt informed that liquors and/or the likes werent allowed in the DBTC premises but seriously, it was apparent that she is a bad host! her hosting skills are way way under . Like cant she think of some lines else for a kick off?
haha.
A band named Atmosphere played for an hour. A play band, (yah, i think that was how they are referred as i have heard from my parents and folks of later years) the kind which stages at bars in the metro, tipong... ah mahirap idescribe basta, they were totally out of place. Rockacademy was the theme, which implies rock-ish genre of sorts. Okay, given na Hiphop or Rnb yung genre nila, kinequestion ko parin kung anong ginagawa nila sa stage. I mean, performer nga ba silang tunay?eh mali mali yung lyrics, nila nakakairita, plus pumipiyok piyok pa sila. At arghh... ang tagal ng Parokya. Tormenting yung one hour na yun ah.
Buti na lang, After nila yung MYMP. nakakarelieve ng pagkairita. pero after one performance,nagkaroon ng technical problem so exit muna sila at another poor hosting by karen had to be endured.
After Mymp, a couple of more bands played. Some were good, some fair.
Then Psywar, Cog and datus tribe. The kind of bands whose music i am somehow familiar with because of my brother. So, they were nonetheless, entertaining ...for me.
Then kamikaze at PNE. Saya. I can say, the long wait was worth it kasi enjoyable kasi pag si Nikka, ayy, i mean si jay c. yung nasa stage.
ayun.
