finally!!! after a long hibernation, it's about tiime to give you guys an update! i have to apologize though for those ungranted requests, but we're rolling up our sleeves for extra research! As you can see we have a new format -- and it's all blue! yahu! you may ask why blue? no, it's not because we're feeling blue or because you're feeling blue... but because blue is blue, it's generic, everybody loves blue! though if you still love the past format, please join the poll, vote for the old format. if you haven't seen the old format? here's the link: http://www.oocities.org/wowayne/craters.htm i hope you can take time to visit it. we retained old info there in case you want to view them on old format. However, the old stuff are also included here in the new format, so feel free to surf around. in the past month, we received a lot of shared works, please wait for them to be posted in the later issues. we love to post all of them here but we have limited updates per issue. The calendar is open for gig skeds, so feel free to submit your band's gig sked through our share section. So that's it for now. feel fre to send us your comments and suggestions by signing the guestbook. and if you like our site, echo us to your friends, that's the only consolation we can get from you! Thanks a lot and God Bless everyone!

Christmas is fastly approaching! For sure the malls will be jampacked again for this season, so keep those eyes on your things, you don't want to lose your valuables after you worked hard to buy them! For this week, torpe's back for another poem, Cold air on my feet. It's actually part of a 4-poem marathon she did last April 24, which were also posted here before, so just read on. Love, love, love and more love we give you this week in the article and quotes sections. Check them out.

oh yes, i've skipped another week, blame it to my professor! hehe... before anything else, S A L A M A T sa mga nag-share ng poems and lyrics to the site! Cal Q shares with us her poem "Become One" which speaks of peace and unity (I wonder if she wrote it after the WTC attacks....). Jaymejack shares lyrics of four songs of the Melancholics, a groove oriented pop rock outfit in Las Vegas since 1995 [click here for more of band's profile], but i decided to post two songs in the lyrics section for the meantime. Lhie's request for "Somewhere down the Road" lyrics has been granted! (yahoo!). The other share and requests shall be posted next week (hopefully! crossed fingers!). More text messages invade the quotes section, read on and forward them to your textmates! Meet a unique lady named Rose in the On-view section. Finally, an OLGA version of a Tuck and Patty version of Time after Time in the Tabs Section. Finals Week is actually a Finals Month for me, notice it (late updates...)? Hopefully in the upcoming weeks, the site will be updated on its regular basis again. As for now, please pardon me for the late updates. Good Luck to Pinoy students in thier Finals Week! And for those studying in the US, hope you guys are already ok in school! God Bless!

Guilty! yep, i'm guilty for not updating the site last week, i'm really sorry for the delay, something just came up and i really can't afford to miss that thing, yeah, excuses, hehe. For this week, i surfed back to Poetry.Com and viewed the winners of their contests, which i posted here last month. I picked "Spring Love" by Sophie Leu for this week. The message just hit me, it's all about being in the other side of a relationship. You just have to read this. And if you still can accommodate 37 seconds of your time, check out the On-View Article, very heartwarming. Which brings me to the Lyricsynch, Sa Langit by Moonstar 88. The second hit single from their Popcorn album. Brick by Ben Folds Five occupies the Tabs Section. Updated the gigked from Kitty, and added Cynthia Alexander on the calendar. Speaking of Cynthia Alexander, we would like to announce that their website is currently not working, we will just update you for any changes of the link. The link listed in QuickLinx is still their former url. Lastly, I am so thankful for those people who shared their quotes and mailed their appreciation to the site: .me. (ty talaga!), [aiu], karen m., josephchristianv, and aianne. To make it up to you guys, i added more quotes for your reading pleasure. Torpe also wants to thank aianne for the appreciation, lalo pa siya na-inspire! Anyone who wants to share any Pinoy song tablature, please mail it to us through the share section. Thanks for visiting and please do come back!

Hey it's already the "-ber" months, that means the Christmas countdown starts! Ehew, time's so fast, i couldn't believe i've been keeping this site for a month already. For this week, Torpe shares with us her poem "alive" which talks about finding someone to make you feel life and feel alive. Which brings me to the lyricsynch, Here with me by Dido. It's somewhat connected to the poem, well, find out for yourself. We've packed you guys really inspirational features like "Don't Grow Old" by Melanie Lim for On-View, Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson for Tabs, and Quotes about God in the quotes section. Since it's the start of the month, the Gigsked is updated by Kitty. Catch Barbie's Cradle, Moonstar 88, Parokya ni Edgar and Teeth this month! Watch out for more gig updates in the following days. We've also added linx to sites of Incubus and Itchyworms. Learn more about these bands by visiting their site! That's all for now...Have a fruitful month!

Last week was quite hectic for me since midterms is just around the corner, though the rains helped me out to at least rob a swift escape from school. Hey, it's Barbie Almalbis' Birthday today, yeah that pretty chick from Barbie's Cradle! I wonder how old she is na. Well, anyway, hope she'll have fun on her day! Read on a very well-written article by Kap Maceda, published in Star Magazine (Philippine Star) last Sunday about Barbie. Happy Birthday Barbie!!! Good Luck and God Bless You Always!This week, i've been influenced by these marching ants on my table, well, they're everywhere! Which brings me to this catchy beat of "Ants Marching" from Dave Matthews Band. Try on the version of OLGA transcribers on the tabs section. Out Of Reach is Gabrielle's latest single, sing it from the Lyrics section. Daffodils shares with us a poem she wrote way back in November 1974 while in work. Good thing she keeps her compositions in handbooks. Thanks to all those who texted their quotes! Just continue sending to 0917-6908040. And before ending this up, an update on the Gigsked from Kitty, check it out! Thanks everyone and God Bless! ...til then!

i wonder what happened to the Aiza rocks Barbie's Cradle Concert (Repeat) last night...must be a blast too! This week, Panget shares with us her poem "Salt in an open Wound" --- when you just have to let go but can't! --- and a song from the unreleased album of the Eraserheads, lyrics by Ely Buendia --- check this out Eheads fans! A movie line from "Meet Joe Black" is On-View this week. Text messaging poses to be a very good source for quotes, and so we are opening the wireless share-a-quote thru texting 0917-6908040 (for Philippine residents), please include your name and e-mail address (if you have one). You can still share other lit work through the share section. We are so happy to open a new section in this site that can be viewed in the main page.

i didn't get much sleep last night...i was trying to write down some thoughts for a new poem.
