I remember that sometime last month, last year I wrote in my tumblr that 2011 would be an eventful year. It’s only January and I think it’s too early to say that this year is already eventful or awesome, BUT a lot of good things are starting to happen so it’s all good and I’m not complaining. I can only say that I hope this continues for the next 11 months, haha!

Right. I’ll cut to the chase and tell you about my gadget.

I recently got an upgrade from my Blackbook (Macbook black) that we bought in 2007 to an Aluminum MBP! Most of my friends know that I’ve been wanting a laptop for SO long, and finally it happened. 😀 I never imagined that I would own one of these computers that I only saw in photos and videos around the net. Oh yeah, call it an obsession if you want, I googled that shit more than the average number of times that I should. I got so used to just seeing it and gave up that I would actually get to own one of those.. I guess things happen when you least expect it or not want it so badly. Funny how that works.

Going to Pupil’s album launch-slash-listening party for their new album (same title of this post) was the first band-related event I attended this year. Though I was only there for a short time, I had a good time. I saw familiar faces and some people still recognized me after not showing up in years. 😆

Note: My title comes from one of the songs this band has did a cover of. Check out Deftones’ version of The Cars’ “Drive” song. 🙂 I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to it too.

November 2010, I saw the news break online that Deftones would be having an Asian tour next year, or as they commonly referred to, a “Pacific Rim tour” in 2011. Manila, Philippines was one of the places they would stop over and play a show for the Filipino audience. Of course during that time, only a short amount of information was released to the public to get some hype and attention.

After realizing that Pacific Rim was also the same name of the Incubus tour they had here years ago, I was OMG-ing all over online and trying to calm myself and not panic at the same time because, good god it’s way too early! It’s only November and the show’s not until February for fuck’s sake. Calm down and post on tumblr, twitter, facebook the news. SPREAD TEH WORD~!

I remember the poster had a “special guest” note in it. Many people had their guesses and speculations on who might that “special guest” be. My guess was Brandon Boyd (lol, IKR!).. Oh, I know it’s pretty impossible.. but there might be a big possibility since Deftones and Incubus are friends anyway. MAYBE they’re the ones who convinced Chino and Co. to add MNL to the list, LOLJK.

ALSO! I’d love to hear Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) live, if you’ve heard the live version of that song with Brandon, you would understand why I want him to be here in Manila performing that song along with his buddy Chino.

A couple of weeks (-December) later, it was revealed that Urbandub’s that “special guest” that was mentioned in the poster. I wasn’t that crushed (emotionally), jsyk, I’m like “oh okay, no biggie.” The priority here was to see Deftones. 🙂 You have no idea how badly I wanted to watch them live here, ask my 16 year old self.

Here’s the final poster plus details of the show:

You can purchase tickets at any TicketWorld outlets. Check out their website for outlets close to your area! I’d get them at one of the NBS outlets because one of them is close to my school, so less traveling time, yeah.

Lol, I also did some ~*shirt designs*~ but unfortunately not many people liked them but I’m still posting them for the sake of looking back at this years later and uh, think if I did any progress from this.
