"paradise is not in the sky"

i bought a bass guitar today. metallic blue, imitation ibanez, four strings. raon, of course. cost me 2.4k pesos. not bad actually, but the action [the distance between the strings and the fretboard at the 12th fret] is a bit high. the bridge's adjustable, though, so once i get a digital tuner, i'll probably lower the action accordingly. the funny thing is that i can actually play the bass unplugged - since the strings are unusually far from the fretboard, there's nothing stopping them from vibrating to their full capacity.

i probably should mention that renz managed to convince me to buy an extra guitar strap for him, to replace one i supposedly lost. strange how i can't remember that ever happening.

umiiral nanaman ang pagkaintsik.

but i suppose it was ample payment for his coming along with me on my grand adventure and making sure i didn't get cheated or kidnapped. well, that and free merienda anyway.

after dinner, i decided to snack on a confectionary bar gifted by one of my ninangs the day before. it was branded "torrone morbido". i thought that was funny at first, but after taking a bite, i discovered that the name was in fact very apt - there was so much sugar in the bar that there was no question of it being a harbinger of death, via diabetes.

morbid nga.

the title for this post, btw, is actually the catchphrase for the paradis chain of motels. bloody brilliant.
