Meeting RadioDriveBy
"What's RadioDriveBy, anyway? They
don't even have a Wiki page."
I don't even know what to expect.
Admittedly, I have never heard of half of the BRF bands line up and because of
real-life commitments (also read as: day job) I was not able to check them all
until a few days before the show itself.
Thanks to Caren's constant bugging and
showing of adoration of the band that I decided to check them out. And heck
yes, I liked them.
In the age of auto-tuned and
electronic-driven kind of music, what's heightened up my curiosity is to
discover whether they are one of "those" bands. Turned out, they were
not. They were even more.
Bazooka Rocks 2013: The Fangirl Edition
I usually do realtime blogs but the thing
with this one is that there are just so much to share about the whole BRF
experience that I do not know how and where to start, what to include and
what's not. So I decided to put up three. This is the second of those three
with the first being, let's just say, the polished one; The brief (although
quite long) summary of events that has taken place on the day/night of the fest
itself. The third one to be solely dedicated to one of the bands that has
performed. You'll figure that one out later on.
In here, I'd tackle the side stories, the
fun banters..the crazy experiences on and before the show, the meet and greet
activities and stuff, and the aftermath in a sort of a Top 10 Bazooka Rocks
memories (this is quite hard to do, to be honest). May I also remind you that
this is a lonnnnnnnnng post (so welcome the blogger in me back).
Of Flying Skulls, Mosh Pits and Brassiere Drop: Bazooka Rock-ed 2013
Pulp Live World's Bazooka Rocks 2013 might
have to be one, if not the best gigs that I have ever attended this year. It is
this fifteen hours of pure rock and roll madness which has showcased some of
the best bands that is out there in the past few years. I knew my hearing is
going to suffer for days but it is all worth it.

But let me tell you a story. Random, sweet(?), funny story.
When You Don't Need Facebook To Be "Like"-d
We are in the 'Google' age now after all. I may also have my fair share of everyday rants in Facebook and in Twitter and we always have that excuse...To hell with my friends and followers, this is my profile and I'm going to do/post whatever I want. And of course, like everything else in the world, there has to be limitations.Further Realisations (At Work)
No matter how much you love what you are doing (be it your job or a hobby or things that consumes most of your time), if you do not enjoy the company of the people surrounding you and it makes your environment a living hell then all your effort , hardships and sacrifices will not make any sense. Staying would be hard. Everything would not seem to be worth it. Growing intellectually and professionally may go on an all time low, if not impossible.
Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are human (unless you are not). We need to communicate with other being. They did not come into life for nothing. By need it doesn't mean to depend. Everything has to be in balance.
We always have that knack to feel appreciated. It may not always be a good thing but it is by validation that we feel good about ourselves. Admit it or not, it is one of what drives us to go beyond greatness. Maybe that is where this "no matter how many No, you would only need a Yes to proceed with your plans" kind of thinking was derived. It is not bad, but we should know better than try to please our superiors, or anyone. We just have to always give it our best.
We need to be scolded for our wrongdoings to remind us that we are not perfect or nowhere near it. These kind of situations are exactly what we need to keep us grounded. What if it is too much? Should we quit? Should we fight back? We should not and we should not. We should be able to stand our ground with respect. We must be the first to understand. We should not hold grudges and judge people easily because it is not righteous to do so. We should always be willing to see everything through brand new eyes.
Being a professional does not necessarily require a license. It is your attitude and passion towards your crap, er, craft that counts.
Disclaimer: I may or may not have experienced the situations stated above; just some observations in my early years of being employed (and lol it was not that lot, really. Just about a year and a half, but still.)
