Of Guitar Gods, The Merits of Sobriety, and Fabulous Food Secrets

The Guitar Fest was lots of fun. I hadn't set out to go with a particular set of people in mind, and people sort of just came together. I had dressed up for an uncle's birthday party and dragged Sam along before meeting Pangs and leaving for the Guitar Fest. Mantha, you just missed half your life by going down at SSS instead of continuing to the Outpost with us.

We were early, thus giving us access to more choice spots. We sat on one of the low tables by the right side of the stage, giving us a perfect view of the stage without having to compete with bobbing heads. While we waited for friends to arrive, I took over the Caltex Guitar Hero Station. Mehehehehe, I may not be a competent guitarist, but I am a competent guitar hero. XD.

As people piled in, and friends started showing up (chaiscoffee, nas0ren, forsakenkid, zeid620, overkill001 ), the Gods made a touchdown.

Lawrence Ostrea of Pandora looked as if he was massaging the fret board, coaxing it to sing. Talk about pornic moanings. Soo sexy. (Even *I* can't believe I'm fangirling over a guitarist, I swear Sam, you shouldve been there!)

But the best part was when a dude who looked like a dead ringer for John Lennon went upstage with an acoustic.

Let's just say he rawked.



RAWKED HARD!!!

Even when it had started to rain, he still managed to keep the audience glued to him by playing a sweet instrum of Itchyworm's Beer. Everyone sang along.

Then Manny (mannyamador) went onstage. The God of Beautiful Men has a beautiful singing voice as well. And although the amps were wonky, he still managed to bring the house down. XD

Manny is the only person I know in the music industry, who doesn't drink. On the other hand, when Guitar God Noli was asked to come upstage again for an impromptu jam, he still had a cocktail in his hand and he seemed way to happy. True enough, his riffs for that jam weren't as amazing as they should've, had he been sober. Tsk.

After Manny's gig, Me, Anton (overkill001) and Pao (nas0ren) went to grab some Korean goodness, then, at 3AM, went off to BEAT to go karaoke. ^_________^ I believe I hogged the mic, sorry guys. It's just been so long since I sang... :3 :3 :3

Manny caught up and we all went to this carenderia behind Cebu Doc. It didn't look like much, but when the food came out, I was shot into food heaven. I need to go back there to sample more of their stuff before I can give you a full account of my trip to heaven. They do say you can't talk about the first time. *tears well in eyes* But all I can say is that the food was too divine, too glorious to be sampled in a mere carenderia. Believe you me, I haven't sampled anything like it in Cebu.

*is thinking about food*
