Zeros Over Tokyo - New Single

Latest recording, Jan 2 2009.

Song is called Serious Talks & Confrontations.


Serious Talks & Confrontations (Ver 1) - Zeros Over Tokyo

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Why the silence,
where are your words now?
For all the good they've done you,
what have you got now?
Go ahead, don't hold yourself back
Just spit it out, say it out loud
 
Chorus:
Say what you have to say
Say what I'm dying to hear
Let's hear it now
 
Verse 2:
Won't you fill the space
with more than you're awkward gaze
For all your empty talk
you never gave them much thought
So won't you open your mouth, just let it all out
Go ahead, cause there's no turning back
 
Chorus:
Say what you want to say
Say what I'm dying to hear
Let's hear it..
 
Bridge
 
Chorus 2x

Lyrics by Lara Lardizabal

Today is the first day of the rest of my life...

It's in God's hands now.

See you on the other side, friends. Hope I'll still be there.

Here's the video info on his YouTube video page.

A BIG thank you and ALL musical credit goes to the a cappella comedy group Moosebutter (from Provo, UT), who greatly assisted me in the making of this video and memorizing their brilliant song "Star Wars" from their 2002 album 'see dee'. This video was done with their blessing and their support. Check out their website here:

OMG! Sweet sweet Internet!

How sad that someone in my field has to live without decent internet access. Take note: DECENT.

Yes, I've been gone for a while. Yes, I haven't updated my Multiply, Facebook, Friendster, Plurk and Twitter in almost a month. Yes, it's sad because, aside from losing karma in Plurk (I've probably lost my dancing banana again), I've also lost a lot in terms of updates, keeping in touch and what not. I can't even log into my YM to chat up my friends and colleagues.

See it's quite simple. My home ISP sucks. And there's nothing I can do about it.

Thankfully, there's a net cafe outside our place (short walk but hey I need the exercise anyway), and, for emergencies like today, it's a welcome retreat. Had doubly urgent files to send and my ISP, as usual... FAIL!

The one thing that got me the second I got to the net cafe though was the number of people actually hanging out here. There are about 40 stations here and only a handful are free. Second, there are people hanging out in the coffee tables, not even using the internet... just hanging out. Third, there are only two bookmarks on the browser: Friendster and YouTube. And last but not least, the girl behind me is talking to someone from the province via the available earphones with built in mic... via Yahoo Messenger.

That pretty much sums up the usage of the Pinoys in most net cafes. And it's quite interesting to see that the internet really is an invaluable part of a person's daily pastime. I see students, people in house clothes, gimmick clothes, office clothes and one in a nurse uniform. My guess is most of them dropped by the place beforedeciding to head home.

And the end cost? Php 20.00. Which is already expensive in these parts. And the net access is fast too... so definitely well worth the price of admission.

Just to fill you in though on my current status, aside from my home ISP making me go bonkers (I can't even send an excel file some hours of the day... I have to wait early morning to be able to do some real browsing), my Mac died on me. Yes. My new office-issue Mac which wasn't so new at all... went kaput. Hard disk was unreadable. All my data... gone. Furthermore, the temporary PC I have in the office is such a sad excuse for a PC that I can't even run powerpoint without my explorer hanging. Multiply Tabs in Mozilla are worse... they really crash the system. And my YM... blocked by the firewall.

So yes ladies and gentlemen, I've been hit by virtual karma... too much net browsing and the digital gods are telling me to slow the frick down.

Thank God for accessible net cafes. I'll be back... I'm going to tour the net cafes around the area and see which has the best... ambience!
