10 REASONS WHY 2007 DIDN'T SUCK ASS

(A relatively old photograph from a UP Los Banos gig; posted only because it looks vaguely, uh, cool)


1. We released our third album. Finally.

2. Despite the fact that the album did not make us richer than God and Bamboo, it received overwhelmingly radiant reviews. Except for those who thought that "it had too many notes."

3. Inclusions in tribute compilations: Hopia, Mani, Popcorn (where we mangled a Rico J. Puno classic) and the Apo Part 2. (which saw an even worse mangling of "Siyotang Pa-Class.")
4. We'd like to thank Red Horse. For the gigs. And the beer, of course.

5. Rock Ed Philippines and Dakila. For the support.

6. The expansion of the Terno Recordings family, signing up great new bands like Bandang Shirley, Sleepwalk Circus, Musical O, and Swissy. And Alamid. Just kidding.

7. Our trombonist Pards Tupas got married. And is expecting a baby soon.

8. A mailing list with more than a thousand members, with only three or four showing genuine Sago interest. The rest think we're actually interested in their gigs or their stupid Friendster updates.

9. The Producer of the Year honor from the 2007 NU 107 Rock Awards.

10. Despite the beer, the cigarettes, and medications like... Diatabs, we're still breathing.
