About Me: IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK!!! FINALLY I CAN SING AGAIN!!!! after more than a month on hiatus because of my throat problem, i finally played my first two shows for 2008! and both were awesome experiences! the first gig was at iloilo. the crowd was amazing! everyone was going crazy, jumping up & down, moshing, & singing along and not just to the old songs but to the new ones as well and they knew it by heart! it still amazes me that people like the songs we make. it makes all the hard work we put in all worth while. such a humbling experience to see people connect with you through something you create. thanks to the iloilo crowd for coming out and showing your support and became part of the 1st urbandub show for 2008! the 2nd gig was at our hometown of CEBU! the annual sonic boom sinulog gig! it's always great to play infront of the home crowd! we've been a band for almost 8 years now and it's great to know that we still have our hometown's support! thanks for singing along and for braving the heat of the venue! everyone was dripping wet with perspiration! it smelled like ARMPIT inside the packed venue but it was all worth it...great vibes the whole night! i still get goose bumps everytime i hear people singing our lyrics back to us! congratulations to the sonic boom staff for another great sinulog event. the lines to get in the venue stretched around the block for this year! it was an amazing sight! people came in droves to see local bands perform! thank you to all your support! i feel bad though for the people in line that were refused entry to the venue because the place was packed. so next year try to come earlier. hehe. definitely a great way to start this gigging year for me and my band. i've quit smoking for good and i'm trying to cut down on my alcohol intake. the rehab period did me good. my voice doesn't feel as stressed out after gigs like before. this year's resolution for me is "discipline" hehe! i love what i do and i love seeing people react positively with what we do as a band. when i couldn't perform for that entire month i felt so useless. i'm praying this year will be very different for urbandub. i'm excited with the possibilities and more excited about hitting the road again and performing the new songs infront of all of you! hope to see you all at the gigs! -Gabby Alipe
