Today was my last day at the office.
Tomorrow will be my first day of unemployment.
This is yet another chance for me to steer my life in a different direction.
It's going to be one hell of a ride.
Stay positive. Work hard. Above all, love what you do, and be true to yourself.
Let's go!

A Pic A Day VIII
I can't remember what i was thinking about at the time
but it seems to describe my present circumstances
i reached a crossroads
and i made a decision
and i have no clue where the road will take me
yet i smile
i forgot about my friends
reminding me that i don't have to be so alone
and that the future is how i choose to make it
strangely, i feel relieved.
it's going to be alright, jay.

Road trip to Tabaco City, Albay
![]() |
I found myself in the rear with all the gear. It wasn't comfy, and it was really hard to fall asleep with the winding, bumpy roads and cramped space. |
I really looked forward to this gig since I was longing to go out of town.
I filed for an early leave from work on Friday so I have lots of time to prepare for the road trip.
By Friday evening, we had packed all our gear inside a van we rented, and we went on our way on a 12-hour ride down south!

Entrance to Ishiaya Japanese Restaurant. |
We arrived at our bandmate's house in Albay at around 10 am, and we had a delicious late breakfast before we were escorted by our hosts to a resort nearby where we can relax for a bit before hitting the stage later that evening.
At noon, we were treated to an awesome lunch at a Japanese restaurant!

Camposanto! |
And this is us performing!
I think it was already past 3 am when it all ended, and we were all exhausted! We went back to the resort and hit the sack.
Later that morning, we took a dip in the pool and just chilled. Since we all had work the following day, we had to pack up our gear again for the journey back to Manila.
We had a pit stop at a local market to buy some snacks. We also went to a cemetery a short while after to visit our bandmate's mom's grave to lay some flowers.

Barabbas gig videos from last weekend
Here are some videos of our BARABBAS gig in Tabaco City, Albay last 31 Oct-01 November.
So, what we did was hand over the camera to the audience to do whatever, and we were surprised with the results.
Audio isn't stellar but I liked the raw, in-your-face videos taken.
Check em out below.
Will post blog update of our road trip soon!
