Tuloy pa rin ang Ligaya!

E-Heads reunion concert update!

Philip Morris has turned over promotion rights of the much-anticipated reunion gig to Radiohead Media after the much ballyhooed protests over the sponsorship of the said tobacco company.

Yey!: The concert is still scheduled on August 30 and this time at the open grounds of The Fort (IMHO, a better location).
Boo!: Tickets are NO longer free. They'll be priced at P800 and P1,300.

Jump No. 2

Jump No. 2 would be way easier. Or so I thought.

Owing to the sweet urge of wanting to do a 2nd jump right after the historic 1st, I confidently yet erringly thought that the feeling would be the same even after 2 months. It wasn't at all! Not even close. It was like the 1st time all over the again. What's even worse is that it took all 5 big guys of us roughly an hour and a half of deliberation, easily outdoing my 1st time.

"Wala naman 'to sa itenerary di ba? Wag na lang!"
"Kaya ko e pero di ko lang talaga makita ung baba." "Wala naman tayo kelangan i-prove e." "Mauna ka na. Nakatalon ka na naman dati e." "Sige mauuna ako pero sunod kayo agad ha."
"Gano nga ba kataas to?"

Yada... yada...yada...


It took Manong JR, our bangkero, for us to finally take the approximately 33-foot drop. He looked every bit the veteran of the jump yet you could still see the split-second hesitation before the he finally took the leap. Ricky came in next, just seconds after Manong JR. I ended up 2nd again after Carl backed out the last minute. He mustered enough courage to jump next though. Exe made it last after 3 tries. As for Onin, well, enough said...

Jump No. 2, check! Jump No. 3? Nah.

The pic above is a reference on how high the cliff was. 1 pink segment is approximately 5'7" high (my height). You do the math.
