FILLED TRIP the next band to watch out!!!
A longtime proposal of Geepee Guballa to collaborate with the 3 other members but due to schedule and conflict with them being part of different groups it only came to reality the night of STAGE Choir's 9TH Year Anniv. The following day they meet up at Brian's Studio and instantly jived and wrote 2 new songs instantly and the new song TOLLGATE was recorded live at a recent performance.Making it the very first song they wrote the very first day they played together.
FILLED-TRIP-while thinking of a name for this side project .. it was Geepee's sister's FIELD TRIP that day they first got together formally as a group and he thought naming the band FIELD TRIP but thought of changing it to FILLED TRIP....meaning... PUNO NG TRIP which was actually,what each of the guys are.!

Halfway
| Halfway by Arcee Santiago |
It was thus engraved in stones of marble
In a similar way as stars are clustered in twilight hours
That we are to scale at some point to meet up, or even to stumble
For us to say what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is now yours
It is neither being about you nor being about me alone to make this able
But is all about Us now, without strings attaching and without restraining bars
Sometime when the dusk and the daybreak is at sight
That precise moment when darkness still embraces the dawn
You chanced upon me and asked for a ‘light’
In that special place where I am to leave and you are to sojourn
Being neither friends nor strangers then, but promising lovers we might
Be meant to level upon anything to meet halfway, all devoid of scorn
Two Seasons proved it so right
We are both each other’s disease and cure
A best friend and an enemy on each count of fight
Through the span of madness and appeal to sanity we are sure
To seize vengeance through stealth and without a fright
And settle differences owing to hearts with love so pure
down the cross-roads
Of love and hate, of joys and sorrows
From the ecstasy of fulfillment of one’s passion, to the agony in the death of one’s dreams
From the nightmares of hell then back to heaven’s bliss
Take steps though pace unhurried, spirit is unwavering
See you there, to the place partially reached by us both
Nevertheless completed in compromise
In the most faultless thing done unfinished
We’ll meet there on our so-called halfway’s ground.
A poem for me by Arcee...
Wish you never sailed away...
One day your journey would come to a better shore..
but if the winds of faith blows your sail back to my shore
you would find the same old sand and water of before..

I
Isang araw
sa buhay mo
Magbabalik tanaw
sa noong ako't ika'y
sabay gumagalaw
sa entablado ng buhay
ay sumasayaw
II
Kahapon lang
sa isip ko ay dumaan
Bakas ng pag-ibig
ng ating nag-daang
may luha't may ngiti
di malimot
na sandali
REF
Himig ng sumpaan
Tinig ng nakaraan
Muling sasariwain
nitong awitin..
CHORUS
Kahit itong mata ay lumabo na
Mukha mo pa rin ang nais na makita
Humina man ang aking pandinig
Ang 'yong tinig pa rin ang nais marinig
Pumuti man ang buhok
Dalawa man ang tungkod
Hindi magbabago
Ikaw pa rin ang nais ng
Puso ko...
III
Taong lumipas
parang kay bilis
Mayroong ibang
nawala at umalis
Lumayo...bumalik
Hindi mawala
sa aking isip
IV
Minsana ako'y
napatingin
Sa ating larawan
sa salamin
Parang kanina lang
mga tawa at
ngiti natin
REF
Himig ng sumpaan
Tinig ng nakaraan
Muling sasariwain
nitong awitin
CHORUS
Kahit mga mata ko ay malabo na
Kayo pa rin ang nais na makita
Mahina na ang aking pandinig
Inyong tinig pa rin ang nais marinig
Maputi na ang buhok
Dalawa na itong tungkod
Hindi magbabago
Kayo pa rin ang nais na
Kapiling ko...
COMPLETE ME
COMPLETE ME
Words and Music by G.Guballa
I
There is something
You must know..
I kept you inside
I wont let go..
II
Feeling all alone
in this high-way
I tried to reach for you
But you're so far
REF
And I cant seem
to get a hold of me
Of what has become
and what's supposed to be
CHORUS
So..complete me
Give me back my life
Take away
all the pain inside
Save me
from all these misery
Everything has been empty
I need you here with me
Complete me....
III
I always feel empty
without you
Putting back the pieces
above me
IV
I am half the man
I used to be
Have you been better
without me
REF
And I cant seem
to get a hold of me
Of what has become
and what's supposed to be
CHORUS
So..complete me
Give me back my life
Take away
all the pain inside
Save me
from all these misery
Everything has been empty
I need you here with me
Complete me....
NGITI SA ULAN
NGITI SA ULAN
Words and Music by G.Guballa
I.
Ipikit mo na
ang iyong mga mata
Kalimutan na
ang pait ng umaga
Sapagkat ngayong gabi
ang lahat itatabi
sa sulok ng paglimot
kalimutan na ang lungkot..
II
Matagal na ring
hindi tumatawa.
Nag-iisa dahil
wala na sya
Sa gabi'y nakasilip
nakatingin sa langit
Pilit umaasang
magbabalik syang muli..
REF
Di na yata
darating
Dapat ng
tanggapin..
Sa piling sya'y wala na
Isa na lang alaala
CHORUS
At kung babalik
ang sakit
Ngumiti ka
ahhhahh
Ngumiti ka
ahhhahh
Ngumiti ka
hahhh
Ngumiti ka
hahhh
Sa ulan...
III
Hinihintay
Sa ulap kumakaway
Nangangarap
na muling matanaw
Gabi gabing naka abang
Nakatanaw sa kawalan
Ginuhit na larawan
Ng masayang nakaraan
REF
Di na yata
darating
Dapat ng
tanggapin..
Sa piling sya'y wala na
Isa na lang alaala
CHORUS
At kung babalik
ang sakit
Ngumiti ka
ahhhahh
Ngumiti ka
ahhhahh
Ngumiti ka
hahhh
Ngumiti ka
hahhh
Sa ulan...

At kung babalik
ang sakit
Ngumiti ka

Ngumiti ka

Ngumiti ka

ODE OF A BROKEN HEART

by Geepee Guballa
The nights are filled with stars
as the day dust turned to gray
Butterflies at night slowly flies..
Like fishes that swim in the skies
A dove and a raven flew to the sky,
As I watch with tears running dry
The leaves are falling one by one
The spring blooms red like wine
Lightning crashes down the aisle
A thundering noise for awhile
As the stars fall from the sky
There is a sadness between You and I..
DREAMERS TRAGEDY


Even for the lips full of speech..
The calm , silent look of affection
Is vivid but unreal..
There is a gross difference
Between the eyes of desire,
And the separation we inevitably acquire.
The silence in this room alone,
Drives one to seek freedom in dreams
Where a person walks in,
Solicitous,calm,and gentle..
It is then that lights flicker out..
This house falls into a hush
The trumpet of dreams,
Wrapped in silence
In an embrace that is comforting
Urgent and brave
In the midst of dreams,walking or sleeping,
We find love that is irrevocably held back.
Avenues that stretched into a darkened city
Then slow heaviness of night descends,
And there is only but one movement,
Subtle sigh that are subdued and mysterious,
That merged with the elements
A name is several times whispered,
But inevitably,there is no answer..
Where a person walks in,
Solicitous,calm,and gentle..
It is then that life fades out..
This castle once mighty be crushed
The horns of destiny,
Echoed in silence
In an embrace that is dying
Hopeless and forgotten
Minutes and seconds run out;
Everywhere upon the moonlit streets
Night falls,the mist speaks no more..
A certain calm wraps my body.
But this,briefly,only,until the clock,
An enemy,ticks loudly,bringing with it,
The gentle coming of dawn,breaking through my vision
The sign of incompleteness in reality,
Lights at night turned off like destiny.
When a person walks in,
Solicitous,calm,and gentle..
It is then that hope dims out..
This dreams washed in the morning shore
As Trumpets of calmness blare forth through my body
There is freedom in dreams,
That is more vivid,
Than the rejections of reality

WHEN I THOUGHT I COULD HOLD MY SHIT...I CANT..
"YOU" are doing good..you were able to hold your shit together..but me..I thought I did or thought I am but no..it still gets the worst out of me.
"YOU"have been so good at ruling your emotions over you..you have the power..you have the people..and you dont have me.
"YOU"always make it a point to ruin my emotions even then and far off now..why?
what is it that I do..to make my Life a mess of shit..
All I need is just one thing..but you wont tell me or give it to me...i want to be free of this but you simply wont..
"YOU"are happy now with someone..you are blessed with happiness you can ever dreamed of..you will soon find better...or yet the best..I tried but.. I am not..
"YOU"never even talk about me nor say a word about me...Im so completely miserable and yet all i ever did was for you but look..now...your making my life more of a misery...
"YOU" are the best mistake I ever did..while you see me as the LOSER you always thought I am..
Goodbye"YOU"...until then...
