pushings and other what-not

thanks for dropping by.

i am mike, or mic to my close friends. i seem like a prick at times, aloof most of the time, moody, but i enjoy good conversations with just about anyone na 'matinong kausap'.

i'm also a big fan of pro wrestling - whether it be North American brands like WWE, TNA, ROH, CZW, or Japanese puroresu like NOAH, NJPW, AJPW, or even classic matches from NWA, AWA, WCW, ECW, etc. - i try to keep myself updated on storylines, feuds, angles, atbp. i go as far as analysing and trying to predict title changes based on developments and turns in the storylines. at kung may pagkakataon lang siguro akong gumawa ng storylines or bookings, malamang sinubukan ko na rin, although i admit that i still have a lot to learn about the history and the variety of styles of the pro wrestling industry - so i'll just keep on studying and learning about it as much as i can.

may sense of humor naman ako, kahit papaano - actually ginagamit ko ang humor as a way of communicating or as a way of making friends with people, ganun. more often than not, yung mga kaibigan ko ay may mga sense of humor din (in short, mga sira-ulong kulangot din).

nag-gi-gitara din ako nang konti, naglalaro ng video games, nagluluto, nagtatagay ng lambanog, pasulat-sulat ng tula/kwento/mga kagaguhang pwedeng gawing tula o kwento. simple lang ang trippings ko - whether it be food/laughing/kwentuhan/kulitan/inuman trips with my friends or family, pagpunta sa magandang lugar, o kaya jamming-jamming na maskipaps, masaya na ako.

i work in an NGO at masaya naman ako, in spite of some people na mga kupal na bumabatikos. when i learn or discover something new before my day is done, that something makes the day worthwhile. i also try to be open-minded and respect diversity of opinions, without imposing my beliefs on others, while being true to myself. i respect people who work hard and make their living honestly - regardless of their job or vocation.

i also try to enjoy life and its simple joys from time to time. basically, i'm just an ordinary person who tries to be extraordinary in some ways - that's the bottom line. i could tell you anything and everything - and they may be true or not. for the most part, kung gusto mo akong makilala, subukan mo na lang.

in english: if you want to know me, just try me... yun na yun.

for me, the DMZ GMZ Song was such a pain in the ass to play. Alex presented it to us in its bare form as track 12. track 13 was the first part of our March 1, 2009 session in which we agreed to "arrange" the DMZ GMZ Song (eventually called "Have... more

The Madsong of Hesus: 2012

this was a piece that we first performed in 2003, when my best friend and i tagged along with my officemate and his friend for a couple of friday night beers in a newly-opened bar in Quezon City. the in-house band was playing acoustic music - a fad... more
