Was an emcee for a fiesta.

Didn't like it.

Too lazy to explain and narrate the whole thing.

It's in my Multiply.

Almost back to school.

Birthdays and Mother's Day.

2008-05-09T21:09:00.002+08:00

It was my aunt's birthday yesterday.
It's my dad's birthday tomorrow.
It's Mother's Day on Sunday.

I printed out poems for each of them, wrapped presents and bought cake. :)Good daughter and niece? XD
---

Random things I did these past few days:

;; Sang My Hero and That's What You Get by Paramore.

;; Bought a black t-shirt worth 100.

;; Made vanilla pudding! XD

;; Online, online, online.

;; Recorded a video with my friends.

Actually, it's still really boring. There isn't really anything new and nothing interesting is going on here.

I never went to Panaad.
Thus, I didn't see Sponge Cola.

I was at Lacson St.
Thus, I saw Bamboo.

After that, it's back at home. Simply that. Nothing more.

I didn't even see anyone from my class.

I miss school already. :]

Reprogrammed.

2008-05-07T11:47:00.001+08:00

If you like to call it reformatted...

Yes, the computer had to be reprogrammed. Darn. Most of the files, obviously, are gone.

It's a hard-knock life sometimes.

Teletech Labor Day Rock Fest w/ Bamboo.

2008-05-02T15:44:00.004+08:00

Hugyaw Bacolod!

Teletech Labor Day Rock Fest with BAMBOO!

The ad said it would start at 7 PM. By 6:20, I arrived at the dorm where my cousin was staying so we could go together and watch the concert. By 6:30, we walked from St. Catherine's Dormitory all the way to Lacson Street, specifically, along Philippine National Bank. Yes, we did walk. The stage was across the street and there were two widescreens positioned on each side.

There already were a few people, maybe around 20, standing and waiting. We did the same. I was pretty amazed by all the lights on stage. One thing I didn't like was that it was really flashing onto my face and into everyone else's face, too. Very BRIGHT.
Epileptic? LOL. You could say that.

By 7 PM, it still hadn't started. More people were filling up the spaces. We waited and waited and waited. At about 7:40, two emcees came on stage. Finally! The guy emcee was doing a good job hosting, but the lady wasn't as good. I could see her hand shaking, while holding the card. And she was doing a bad job hiding her nervousness. I heard others at the back blurting out, "Ga kurug iya kamot..."[Her hand is shaking...] and "Pasmo?"

Enough of that.

All the people thought it was going to be Bamboo performing already. Instead, three bands who won 1st, 2nd, and the Champion titles of the Teletech Battle of the Bands here in Bacolod, performed first. Each band sang about 4 or 5 songs.

I forgot their names, except for the second band, which pretty much was easy to remember. They were called Ambot Ah [I Don't Know]. LOL. XD I guess, they really didn't know what to name their band. I was surprised to know that each band member of the three bands actually was an EMPLOYEE of Teletech. I thought they weren't connected to it. 

At about 9 PM, it was time. Bamboo was finally on. The drummer [Vic] was first on stage, followed by the bassist [Nathan] and the guitarist [Ira]. They did some brief sound check. Still, the crowd, particularly the girls, went somewhat ballistic. No, scratch that. They screamed-slash-squealed A.K.A. became wild. If you ask me, that's not new. It seems to belong to any gig or concert.

Then, Bamboo, the vocalist, came up on stage. Everyone went crazy. Of course, the screams were still present. And then, they began to play their first song, Probinsyana. I couldn't really hear anymore. The screaming was just too loud. People, including me, hang on to their “acclaimed” positions.

We literally felt like sardines in one huge can. There was one person in front of me who kept fanning herself with her handkerchief. The air that was produced from it would always give a whiff of that air onto my face. Thing is, I didn't care about the smell of sweat. No one did. We didn't care at all, whether we felt squished or felt the sweat of other peoples' arms. People just wanted to hear and see Bamboo!

Considering how 'tall' I actually am, I had to stand tiptoe almost the whole time. That makes it even harder and more painful and straining, with arms held high and concentrating on recording video clips on my cam. One other thing was when this girl from behind me put her arms behind my head, using my shoulders as her leverage or base, literally using me as her tripod so she could easily record using her cam. HUMAN TRIPOD ME. Grrreaaat.

Those people who got VIP tickets had a very good view of Bamboo. Lucky them! There was the grill, of course, to divide that area. I was at the fourth [crooked] row. By the time Bamboo was singing the last songs, I was in third. Yeah! :)
I think I got pushed forward.
But that was also the time my camera had the very last 14 seconds remaining. I decided to stop recording and enjoy the last of the gig. After that, we went to McDo to get a drink and eat. The after-effect of the whole thing hit us. We were starving and almost dehydrated. It's tiring and you get this sticky feeling. At least, aircon at last!

It's definitely a night to remember. Despite it starting late, it was really an astounding performance. Truly, way more than amazing. I really loved the way Bamboo perked up the crowd. He really sang every song enthusiastically and, well, to the highest level. :D And his trademark---his moves on stage, blew everyone away. LOL. It's just great to know that everyone was enjoying and having fun.

Nathan[bassist] and Ira[guitarist] also interacted with the crowd. :) And the drummer[Vic] was really great as well. He can hit those drums like WHOA! XD
One word can describe the whole concert: AWESOME.

When we rode a jeepney home, I looked back on stage. It was empty, obviously. Some guys were already starting packing up the set. On one widescreen, a previous Bamboo concert was playing. People were still hanging around. Some were sitting on the PNB grounds. Others were on the sidewalks. Other people stayed at the nearby Lagoon. But most of the people were at Chowking, McDo, and Dunkin’ Donuts. Yeah, they needed refreshments. But I’m sure, behind the munching and drinking, they still wanted to see more, including me.

Now, I'm interested to do this one thing: Learn to play bass. It seemed so easy when I saw Nathan play it. Fascinating. Rawr. XD

I uploaded two already on Youtube, but I hate it that the quality of each video changes, but the sound is still fine, though. XB
I'm not done yet with the uploading...

2008-04-29T17:07:00.002+08:00

Bamboo or Sponge Cola? I still can't decide. But I got some reasons. The problem is this. I want to watch both, but unfortunately, they're set on the same date and time. May 1, at 7 PM. Different venues. Bamboo's gig is somewhere in Lacson Street while Sponge Cola's is at Panaad. I'm much nearer to Lacson Street. And if I'm right, it's free, except for the fact that VIP tickets are being given away...
I'm not sure about the whole thing in Panaad. Is Sponge Cola performing together with other artists like Southwind, Yeng Constantino, Chad Peralta, etc.?
You can only get tickets if you exchage empty containers of Sunsilk, etc. through Lopues outlets and other shopping centers. I'm really confused, though. XD I want to get this straight. LOL.
---

You want it chilled? Kidding. It's really cold for me right now. It's gloomy outside and I just made that simple banner. x]
Frankly, I somewhat like this kind of weather, but I don't really like heavy rainfall that much. Lightning and thunder combined is not for me. I miss a bit of sunshine. :D
---

A lot of concerts are in store!

Vanessa Carlton.
James Blunt.
The Click Five.
DAUGHTRY!

Hale's album is finally out! I want to get a copy of their CD. Actually, I'm really planning to. I SO want to. I heard from the HALERS that it is more upbeat, more happy. There were others who said that the melodramatic touch is not that evident in this album. But, I think it's all good. I have heard Pitong Araw on radio waves already, since the past weeks, and I have to agree. :)
---

If you are a big fan of Anberlin, or like to listen to this band, await for their new album, which will be released in August of 2008. It's entitled New Surrender.

Quoting Wikipedia about its overview:

"The album will be "guitar-heavy" containing massive guitar parts..."

Interesting. ;)

And about the album title, according to lead singer Stephen Christian:

"We will all come to the point in our life where we have to admit that we feel defeated, that something has conquered us. We must change, not because we want to, but because we desperately have to. We can not take life in its current suffocating state, even to admit such desperation shows that we are feeling deserted, wandering the barren desert, a shell of our former selves. It is only up from here, it is impossible to sink any lower into ourselves or our circumstances. But we can be salvaged, a deliverance. No vice can stand, no fix can take. The thorn in the side can be removed, but you have to be willing to admit and surrender. Surrender your habits, your lifestyle, your past, your present, and your future. This is your new surrender. The new surrender."

I think that DOES explain it. It's true. Reality, in other words.
---

Currently, with the weather that we're having in Bacolod, it's not that good for the Panaad sa Negros. If it doesn't rain, it's alright. At least, you don't get the heat on your back. I noticed that it rains really hard during the night or late afternoon.
So, if you go to Panaad, you might as well bring umbrellas and jackets and raincoats. You don't want to engage into mud fights... or have a free, cold shower with your clothes still on. XD

electrocore.

2008-04-27T18:12:00.005+08:00

That's how I like to call it. If you are into hardcore and electronica, you got to give them a listen! :)

Visit their MS here.

I like their merch! The t-shirts are so cool! I simply love all those tees. XD
---

I heard PULP Summer Slam was a blast. True? I guess so.
I want to see videos of Mahatma and Darkest Hour. xb
Ground-breaking.
---

It just started raining again. I call it summer rain. And it's already evening but the sky has this pinkish-orange touch.

I'm off.

Rain. Imago. Hang-out. Bamboo. Those are just few of the things...

2008-04-26T18:19:00.004+08:00

It has been raining again. And heavily. Not good for Panaad sa Negros. Hopefully, it doesn't rain again for those who are planning to watch Imago later at 9 PM at the Panaad Park Stadium. I just heard them on the radio at about 12 NN. They have a repackaged album-a special edition as what Aia referred it to as. So, grab a copy! :)

Speaking of another band, I've mentioned earlier that Bamboo is coming to Bacolod again. To reiterate, it's on May 1, at 7 PM. Location is on Lacson Street, meaning, it will be closed/barricaded around there. It's sponsored by Teletech. Go mark that day on your calendar! :)
---
I went to Angie's house awhile ago. I stayed there until 4 PM. We did another video [Yes, we do like to film!]

This time, we weren't included in the video but we became assistants. It's for the Colgate contest thing. Whoever wins gets to be the next star of Colgate! LOL. Fresh confidence! Dapat lang!

For more info, go to colgatefreshconfidence.ph!

It was the usual fun. But it drizzled. And it was cold. xb

So here I am now, typing this.

It's the PULP Summerslam today! I wish I could be there.
I want to see The Jumping Jacks actually, and the rest of the bands. Dream, catch me! XD

Drifting to another topic...
It's almost the end of April. One more month. Then, it's back to school. Not that I hate it.
It just seems to be such a busy 'job'. Especially that I'm going to be a junior. @_@

Julienne chatted with me just this morning. She told me I was number 2 in the list of the TOP 50. That means that I belong to the best class again. XB My sister's number 14 or 22... somewhere there.

It feels good to know that. But, it also means that my classmates from last school year might not be my classmates this school year. 9E was really the best... Sounds cliche'. Although we also were the BEAST class somehow. xb

Oh well. ^_^ Summer's almost over. I still have May. Bamboo's gig. My dad's and aunt's birthday. Then, I'm off to Cebu to renew my German passport.

June 10--pasukan ulit. woohoo.

I'm not falling into tiny fragments yet. I'm still that one piece on a finished puzzle.

Thunder has its way.

2008-04-25T21:24:00.002+08:00

I'm typing this and I hear thunder again. It had been raining a bit just this afternoon.

Actually, I don't exactly have anything to post. I just felt like it. xb No particular reason.

Well, first off, I have UPDATED my list of Pinoy underground bands! I tell you, ang dami talaga. I'm continuing it tomorrow. It's as if everyday, whenever I go 'explore' Myspace, I stumble upon another and another and another. It always gives me this 'wow' factor. LOL. Hey, that's why we have to support our very own homegrown talents, don't you think?

SUPPORT PHILIPPINE UNDERGROUND MUSIC! Ü

Well, Panaad sa Negros starts tomorrow. Imago's performing. I have no plan yet in going there, but I'll see. Hopefully, it does not rain during the duration of the festival. xD

And Bamboo's coming back to Bacolod! I think it's sponsored by Teletech. Watch out for them on May 1! I don't know about the venue just yet, though.

So, there. That'd be all for now. :)

2008-04-21T17:13:00.008+08:00

I UPDATED my content [Click on miscellaneous.]. Yes, the list is getting longer, and I am still searching for more bands. If you know any other Pinoy indie/underground bands, let me know. I'll put them up, too. And if by any chance [ I wish...] any Pinoy indie/underground band stumbles to this blog and wants to be added, tell me. :) I'll be glad to list you down.

-----

I've been to the dentist awhile ago. I have grown three wisdom teeth and I wanted them checked if they're actually coming out straight. Thankfully, they are. ü Those days when I was growing two wisdom teeth on the left side[up and down] was really hell. It hurt real bad, just like having tooth ache. Though, I never experienced that. LOL.
The third one [now on my upper right] has never hurt, so that's really a relief. Now, the dentist had said to me that the last one [which in my case, is the lower right] would probably hurt and not come out straight. That meant that he might cut part of the skin of my gum. Something, something... which I couldn't understand. But I think you get the idea. If not, Google wisdom tooth instead. XD

-----

I'm going to babble about this again. There was Masskara and now there's Panaad Festival. I'm actually somewhat looking forward to it, but there's just this one thing. It's summer, and it's practically hot, especially noontime. So, I do think I would never be in the mood going to Panaad or the Panaad Stadium with that kind of weather. LOL. I would rather prefer going in the late afternoon and in the evening. I mean, most of the activities happen during that time. ;)
One thing I really want to do is see bands. Like, that's what I really want to do. xb And I do. That means, I don't digress. Thing is, by the time school opens again in June, I know bands might flock here again. Just maybe.
But based on this school year, bands did come here. I did know that Bamboo was coming. I couldn't go. Though not a fan of reggae, Brownman Revival came to Bacolod, too. Then, there was Typecast. I never knew they were coming until a Killerbee DJ was talking about it. And it was the day before. So, I missed it. Mojofly, too. Practically, the only band I saw live was Callalily. *_* gahd. I sound desperate while rereading what I just had typed. I'm not really. It's called ranting, and I'm about to think that
this entry is going to have the suffix -less fixed to it soon. UseLESS. XD

Heck, I'll be in Manila after two more years. That should give me opportunities. ^__^

2008-04-20T21:17:00.002+08:00

Let's go back to that day when there was the brownout and lights were back on again.

So, I did go back to ChitChat, not caring that it was past 7 PM already.
As expected, the chat was done already and there were still some chatting. I got to know the YM IDs of Miggy, Mong, and Calde! At least. :)

It actually makes up for the uhmm, 'misery' I felt because of being unable to chat.
---
Well, Kitchie Nadal was here. And I got to hear her through radio. I was not able to go watch at Robinsons. xb I checked Youtube this morning and there are two videos posted already. You may want to check them out. :) I'm feeling a bit lazy to post the links, so just type in kitchie nadal bacolod. ;)
---
Nothing much is up this summer. Aside from the much-awaited Panaad sa Negros...
Few days ago, and as I've mentioned, I read in the newspaper that Sponge Cola's performing. Imago, Aiza Seguerra [sp?], and Sam Concepcion are also performing {sponsored by Convergy's}.

I want Chicosci, too! :P

That's all I know so far. But I definitely want to watch SC. But 9 PM? Permission seeked by parents. LOL.

I'm going to listen to some music now.

SHOCKING HELL.
Did that really need to happen?! Thank you so much, CENECO.

And, I'll get back to that later. So, I arrived at Anna's house at

about 1 PM. Since we arrived first, we pretty much had nothing much

to do. We talked a bit, then, I tried logging in to Multiply. And it

logged in! Surprise, surprise. Anna downloaded an installer fo Mozilla

Fireworks because I could not download it from my computer.

Everytime I try, an error screen appears which totally sucks,

considering that MF is actually user-friendly. I did have MF before,

but one day, it just wouldn't run. Uninstalled it. xd

We did a video, as always. Pretty funny actually, for a

short one. xb While waiting for my dad to pick me up, we did some

more talking, internet-ing, and watching Charmed on VELVET. That

just never fails. :D

Of course, my dad was on time, and at exactly five we where on

the road again. I wanted to be on time for the ChitChat with Miggy

and Mong.

And now take note, this is where my 'shocking hell' rant

comes in. xd

I was there, logged in at 5 minutes before 6, mainly because I

wanted to be on time. Many Vampirettes where there already, so we

chatted some. By 6:05, Miggy was on. Mong still wasn't. :) Then, I

was saying hi and all that when all of a

sudden---BROWNOUT.

I cried out. Walang kuryente? Ngayon pa?! I was just beginning to

chat with Miggy and Mong. It felt like my one and only chance...

ANd then, all I get is bad timing. The one-hour scheduled brownout

took its toll. BAAAAADTRIIIPPP. :[ Sayang. I felt really miserable after

that. I know, I know. It's seems a bit shallow 'crying' over it like

spilled milk. But that is exactly how I felt.

CENECO, I hate you. X{ Thank you so much. v_v

Electricity was back at 7:19. I kept track of time. lol. I was hoping

that they somehow might still, by any chance, be online, but when I

went back, wala na sila. I'm sad. But, it's alright. Somehow.
That's life. Cliche', but reality. Otherwise, expect the unexpected, like

the overcoming of darkness in your room, while facing the computer

all happily while chatting and about to type something and get CUT

OFF. How nice is that? Not really.

Oh, well. It's a chance taken away, but I'll cope with that. LOL. The

drama... xb
At least, I got to talk about something and vent it out.

There's always next time. Hopefully.
VMPRS LV FRVR. ^__^
---

Going back, I tried downloading from the USB, and the error screen

appears. I gave up.
Then, I decided downloading Opera, and thankfully, it worked. I'm

back on Multiply. I guess, my Multiply account hates IE. I think it

was trying to tell me to switch browsers. Gahddd. xD

PLUGGING:
Kitchi Nadal, tomorrow at Robinsons Bacolod, 3PM! Promoting her album Love Letters. :)

2008-04-18T10:20:00.002+08:00

I can't seem to sign-in in Multiply. WHY? It doesn't say that the username/password might be wrong... It just automatically flashes back to the sign-in screen. Weird. xd
Have you encountered this?

Maintenance? Don't think so. Oh no. :d

---
Well, we've been having brown-outs almost everyday for one hour, and it's somewhat annoying. I mean, it's still really warm outside, even at night. When you wake up the next day, you got this 'sticky' feeling just because of no electricity the night before. xb boohoo.

Oh, I miss the rain. It's not a spoiler for me this summer. xb
---
I'm out later and going to Anna's house to hang out with the others. Probably, we might be making another video for fun. And I'm trying my Multiply account there. Because, it's the sheesh for me right now. As If it might actually log-in at another's computer/IP address. It won't hurt to try... :D
---
PANAAD SA NEGROS is eight days away, I think. April 26 is the start?
I heard Sponge Cola's performing... True?
And there will be other band concerts but I don't know who they will be.
---

Vampire Teentalkers, don't forget! ChitChat later at 6 PM with Miggy and Mong of
Chicosci.

2008-04-15T15:14:00.003+08:00

EDIT
Minor correction. lol.
It's on the 19th, not on the 17th. Kitchie Nadal's in Robinsons Bacolod on a Saturday.

Photobucket doing maintenance? LOL. The image of my layout's not showing. xb
---
Anyway, I just got my Form 138 this morning. Report card distribution was in the HS Covered Court. Only a few people were there, considering that it started at 9 AM. I'm happy! I only decreased by one point in three subjects, namely, Filipino, Math, and Elective. Surprisingly, at least for me, my Fourth Quarter general average is higher than the past quarters. Normally, for most students, it would be the other way around.

Here's the run-through of my general average in each quarter, so you can get the picture. :)

1st = 94.49
2nd = 95.02
3rd = 94.55
4th = 95.35
FINAL = 94.87

Congrats to those who got honors! GL, SL, and Achievement. You guys deserve it. ;)

I'm such a nerd. *_* NEVER ENDING RADICAL DUDETTE. Better 'positive' meaning? :D

And it's still unbelievable that I got a 92 in Computer! XD Oh, yes! Hands-on activities the whole school year without so much of a lesson. That proves that learning is still possible! xb
I really want to see my exam papers, though! But I can't.
---
I'm enrolling tomorrow. La Salle, here I come again. ^__^
I really missed school... kind of.
And it's always nice to see familiar faces again.

Ta-ta for now. :] Actually, I don't know what else to rant about. lol.

sunny awhile ago. now i hear thunder. rain? woohoo!

2008-04-14T20:42:00.002+08:00

Nag-register ako ulit sa CandyMag. Teentalk, I'm back! :)

Although, it's such a new environment already. Daming bagong members. Way back, it was all cool. No, scratch that. It's still cool, but I feel like a stranger again. xb

It rained a while back. Hard. Oi, low pressure ba o typhoon na ba talaga? XD
----
Tomorrow's report card distribution. Grades! And a chance to see my teachers and fellow classmates. Excited ako. hahaha. xb
----
Summer's a bit of a bummer. There's snail-paced time and the strike of boredom. I'm mostly online, surfing the net, Friendster, Multiply, TG, Teentalk, Youtube [YouCHOOB], and most of all, MYSPACE. You know what I do. Explore bands and fill up my list. Hahaha. But really.

Who knows an avid supporter/fan of Pinoy indie/underground music who
actually isn't even pure Filipino?

One is yours truly, the Pinay German girl with the tag Marzzy. :D

^__^ It's just plain weird because I'm here in the City of Smiles, namely, Bacolod. I never get to see gigs because, of course, they're mostly in Manila and other parts of Luzon...
So, my only escapade is either Myspace or Youtube. The music and the videos. woohoo.

----
PANAAD SA NEGROS is drawing near. I will be going. Many activities will be happening. And bands will be playing. Contests. All the cities and towns of Negros will be represented through their respective 'houses'. And I heard Kris Aquino is going here, too. It will be a day. [Updated much?]
---
Kitchie Nadal is coming to Bacolod. Album launch? Maybe. I do know her carrier single. "Highway." I think it's on the 17th... Not sure, though.
----
So, this is pretty much it for now.

Ang lamig ngayon. Goosebumps. XD
----

It rained. I'll be a vampirette go above, over and beyond and sing and scream you a song.

2008-04-13T11:58:00.006+08:00

EDIT

I'll be a vampirette and go above, over and beyond to sing and scream you a song.

I've been listening to the self-titled album of Chicosci again and again. I'm not getting addicted. That's not the reason. But that's exactly my dilemma. I just don't know why. xb LOL. Okay... maybe because I have actually reached the point where I like them. I still remember before when I was around 13 or 14 that I never effin liked Chicosci.

But now I do. Since last year. And before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sonny! Belated.
I may not be a Vampirette [as I call it], but I realized that I always check their Myspace before I check out Pinoy indie bands. I know that they're working on an album and I definitely will grab a copy when it's out! XD

And speaking of releasing an album, HALE is back with one! Above, Over, & Beyond is the album title. In fact, their lead single Pitong Araw is currently number 1 in RX as I've heard. I'm really looking forward to it. Not sure if it's out, though... :)

So, there. I've talked about Chicosci and Hale. And albums.

And I still want to talk about other bands, but if I do, it'll be a novel. So, to alter that a bit, I'll talk about my future band [ like that is ever going to happen ]. xb

I've been doing some daydreaming and night dreaming... First, I thought of naming it VIM. I searched Myspace and there was a band named like that already. Then, I thought to add an 'N' at the end like: VIMN. But then, that looks odd and useless so I crossed it out of my mind. Then came CME or Color Me Euphoric. This really appealed to me the most. I was considering this. But then one day, I came upon SASP. And I liked this as well.

Sheer Altered State Panic.

Then I had to search for that. Unfortunately, there was SASP but it was something totally different. Get this: SASP is an association. Scandinavian Association for the Study of Pain.
LOL. LOL. LOL. Okaaay. Not synonymous but this might just be too.... uhmm. NO.

But who really cares? It's either CME or SASP. ^__^

So, what would you like to name your band if you ever had one?

__________________
Finally. Rain, rain, rain.
At least, I get to feel real air conditioning now. I just looove this kind of weather. Right now, I hate sunshine and the feeling of heat.

It's a TREAT. It's really overcast and cool outside, too.
I like this.

I might edit this later. TTFN.
♥ rain. woohoo. xb

Sunday, Bloody Sunday.

2008-04-09T19:09:00.003+08:00

No, I won't be talking about my Sunday. LOL. Actually, this entry will pretty much be pointless but hey, you know how boredom takes on you.

I went to the mall with my cousin and sister. After eating at Red Ribbon, we went to WOF and did some karaoke. :}

After each song, your score is revealed. I sang Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch. I got a 93.
Hmm, not bad. LOL.
Then, I sang Sunday, Bloody Sunday. It was the original by U2.
Well, I got so used to singing to the cover by Paramore. It was slightly different, but I still managed to pull it off. Surprisingly [for me], I got a 100! LAWL.

I know, I know. I mean, it can't be too accurate, can it? Still, you know the feeling you get when you score the 'grand prix'.

Ehem, ehem... pwede na maging vocalist? AHAHA. Oh well.
---
I just read the newspaper yesterday and came across the headline that BACOLOD is the MOST LIVABLE CITY in the PHILIPPINES.

Wow! Makati is second. Nice!

I mean, that's really an achievement. :) City of Smiles.

it's been awhile.

2008-04-03T15:56:00.003+08:00

PLUGGING: Ang Sarap Dito by Project 1
See it here.

I love that song! It cheers me up. :]

---

Hmmm, now what? For the sake of a new blog entry, I don't know what to talk about.

Well, it's been a boring summer for a start. It pretty much is for everyone. xb But, on a happier note, I'm looking forward to something even if I still don't know what. LOL. I just got this 'feeling'.

---

I watched my very first movie for the summer! Yay!

Ehem-ehem. MEET THE SPARTANS! gahd. So laaaaaate. xb

AND

IT

SUCKED BIGTIME!

Frankly, in my opinion, it was such a cheap rip-off and add-ons.

I should have watched something else instead. I wasted my 80 pesoses. <_*

sunshine. rain. sunshine again.

2008-03-28T15:52:00.003+08:00

I arrived in school at exactly 10 AM. Claire and Aika were already there, so it was a good thing I wasn't the first. We waited for a bit, then decided to drop by the Courtyard across the street and buy some food.

After a Chicken Caesar Sandwich and Cheese croissant, we went back to the waiting shed and waited and waited and waited. 10 AM was the official assembly time but it was 10:40 and still no one arrived. One minute later, Neil arrived and so did Stephanie, Karlyn, and the others. We were incomplete, though. Not good, I know. But it's our grade in club, too.

Since there was our farewell party at lunch time at the Metrodome, we decided to go and shoot the remaining important parts there instead. So, we took a jeep.

We arrived some minutes later. We ate at Jay-M Manokan. I wasn't feeling at all hungry so I had a sandwich AGAIN. lol. Chicken din. xb

It started raining while everone was still eating.
After we finished eating our meals, I decided that we start taping outside the metrodome[there was a roof] so as not to waste time. TIME IS GOLD pa naman.

It was pretty funny. It was really raining hard now. All of a sudden, we saw a green car literally running backwards on the street. Weird. Really weird.
There was a strong wind and we somewhat got wet because of it.

Since we had a shortage in characters, we asked some of our classmates to act as the gods and goddesses. Modern style.

It was a 'fight' scene... and of course, it was a pretty noisy one. The guard scolded us a bit. LOL. We forgot there was a spa at the other side of the dome, just near to where we had eaten. xb

Eventually, we finished. By 2:20, we all decided to go home. We rode a jeep back to La Salle. Got picked up then straight home.

Tiring, but worth it.
---

SLAPSHOCK is coming to the city! Tomorrow at Bacobuz Restobar, Bacolod City!
I really want to watch, but it's at 8 PM and that means I won't be allowed to go. Darn. Too bad. I'll be missing the chance. Hopefully, someone takes a video of it. :)

Last Day- Yehey!

2008-03-27T12:49:00.002+08:00

YES!!! Finally, it's summer! It feels so great! LOL. At last, we got the break that we wanted. :)

Tomorrow though, I'm going back to school at 10 AM to finish our output for Young Performers. If you had read the previous post, it's the continuation of our short film.

Then, at about lunch time, I'm off with my friends to go to our farewell party. Chicken inasal, baby!

Whoa. Another school year has finally come to a close. Two months of vacation for us, students.

Probably, I'll be staying here most of the time. I might go to Cebu to renew my German passport... xb

Well, I'm attending a wedding of one of my cousins on the 5th of April, too. Count that in. :)

Updates tomorrow.

Happy Easter Sunday! But on study mode.

2008-03-23T11:21:00.003+08:00

Happy Easter Sunday! Anyone up for some egg hunting later?
Ehem, who's too old for that? xb

I'll be stuck here at home though. Tomorrow, our exams starts. At least, we got the session in the morning. That means, we have dismissal at 10:30. I'm really envious...still. Others got their summer going smoothly already. ;)

It feels as if we're the last to get the jump-start for it. No worries, I know. HAHAHA.
Right after all the exams, I swear, I'm going to throw my books here, there... XD

I don't know, but it really feels different whenever the end term comes along. It's like you just want the exams to be through in a zap. Truthfully, it's been a ride with the past quarters and now, it feels like a boat ride through easy waters. You know how you get the feeling, "I don't really care that much anymore and I want it DONE."

So, there. Study mode first. Slip away into happiness later. [reminds me of the HappySlip song...] xB

exams.

2008-03-20T17:58:00.003+08:00

We don't have any classes today and tomorrow, since it's still the Holy Week.
I've been doing some advance studying, just so something can go into my head already. Here's the exam schedule: :}

March 24-27, 2008

Monday: Science, Rhetoric
Tuesday: Math, THE
Wednesday: Computer, English, Christian Living
Thursday: Filipino, Social Studies

I guess, we're pretty much late. Others are enjoying summer.
We're spending Holy Week finishing projects like the Pedigree Analysis in Science, database system in Computer, and portfolio in English.

I bet, no one really has officially started reviewing just yet. It's hectic. But everyone has to cope with that...

Basically, it's exam week and then finally, it's summer vacation! But that doesn't exempt me yet.
After the exams, I still have to finish videoing our short film for our club output in Young Performers.

It's quite hard being in charge of the whole thing and filming at the same time. It's a good thing Neil's around to help me out! Go, scriptwriter! We got to do the whole editing sham.

Pros? Not exactly. We got to get it all figured out first. xD

So, hmmm, what's been on my mind lately? Nothing much. Though our Oral Defense in Science was quite nerve-wracking. We didn't get to be interrogated because other groups might not have enough time to present theirs to the panel of judges. Honestly, I was a bit relieved. I was in tension the whole time. LOL.

So, until here for now. ;)

2008-03-16T15:38:00.000+08:00

Whoa. Busy, busy, busy.

Tomorrow's our Oral Defense of our Science Investigatory Project. shiver shiver.

And we've got four long tests lined up. Two tomorrow and the other two on Tuesday.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday is no-class day because it's Holy Week.

Still, it's no happy mode here. Some will be working on projects and most likely start reviewing for the exams which will be the week after. Yeah, it's quite a drag, but there's studying to do and projects to be passed on deadline. :}

So, I've got my constructive speech ready for Rhetoric. I'm on the affirmative with the proposition:

Man behavior is a reflection of the society he belongs.

We get to have three minutes to explain our side. Then, the teacher might pop you a question and you have to answer directly. Somewhat like a debate 'feeling' kind of thing.

Well, definitely, it's really been hectic for me.

On another side of the note, we just had our last PPA or Free Design Day.
Water balloon fight.
Bingo.
9E Amazing Race.

It was fun, considering that it really was the last free day of the school year. :D

---

Taken By Cars' new video is out!

Uh Oh. That's the song title, btw.

Click HERE to see!

kismet. my word of the week, too. x]

2008-03-09T17:58:00.000+08:00

kismet [kíz met, kízmət]
noun

It means fate or destiny. I never knew that...But I do know that I have come across it. It's funny how I never even bothered to search for the meaning of this six-lettered word. xb

What made me remember 'kismet' was listening to Killerbee a while ago. Thanks Kelly!
Now, I can use kismet instead of destiny or fate in sentences. XD

---
I realize now that trying to list down everything alphabetically is really effective.
Take this, for example.

I just began listing down every indie, local underground PINOY band on my quite disorganized list that I have stored in my file. I admit; it's easier that way. That is, whenever I do my Myspace 'exploration', it's pretty much convenient scrolling down to that particular letter and adding a certain band.

And mind you, I just don't list bands down just for nothing or for the matter of making my list longer. I listen to their songs as well. And that's part of my history of already getting to LOVE the PINOY underground scene. Tatak Pinoy! xB

---
Anyway, getting an overview about our PE Culminating Activity...

Hmmm, let's see... the heels we're killing me. That is guaranteed, even if I didn't get any blisters. My feet were a bit sore from walking back to the classroom from the Coliseum.

You bet, I changed to casual attire right after. ^_^

---
I'm looking forward to summer. Really much.
No plans yet, though.

But still really looking forward.
But I really want to see live gigs. Bands! I crave! hehehehe...

And talking about bands...

Hale, which I formally liked, is getting back on track. Finally!
They will release a new album I think sometime in April or June...?
I'm looking forward to that as well. Because I still like them... Ehem, not like Cueshe'. xd

---

I hope kismet will lead me to some gigs... REASON: Music saves ME!
if not now, in the future. See? I used 'kismet' in a sentence. Woohoo! LOL.

Music saves me.
Makes me euphoric.
Tries to switch me into vim mode.
And leads me to catharsis. Sometimes.

Got that? Good. ^__^ And those are my words, bee-tee-doubleyouuuu.

it's untitled.

2008-03-06T20:54:00.000+08:00

First off, we had our class recollection yesterday. It went fine.
Of course, it was a bit emotional when everyone had to sit together.
Affirmation Circle. Saying something positive/negative to someone in a gentle manner, of course.
We call it 'prankahanay'.

That means being really frank and straight to the point. There were some tears, but it was all good.
Everyone received there palancas with 'Happy Reco!' written again and again.

---
Hmmm, tomorrow's the day. PE Culminating Activity.
It's dancing the boogie and swing on heels/wedges for mostly every girl... lol.
Well, slippers/flipflops are ready after the performance. You know the drill...

Temporary blisters.
Sore foot/feet.

XD Oh well.

So, I have recovered from the strain. The busy-ness. The stress. The 'nosebleed' feel. The rush. The throbbing headache.

It's all subdued already.
Because exams are near! And it's moratorium week. Nearly there.

March 24-27---final exams! At last. Then, summer! ;)

I tried, so hard (but it's too late)
Accomplished all that I could (to take back everything you said)
These fights, I lost (how could you)
I lost without you (take away everything we made)

Lines from The Departure by A Vacant Affair. Love them! Go Singa-CORE!
It's a band from Singapore. Obviously.

Woohoo. It's schoolcore. xx

2008-03-02T16:45:00.000+08:00

IT IS SCHOOLCORE for me, for my classmates, and basically everyone else. The Seniors are having their final exams this week. March 4 to be exact. That leaves Grades 8-10 with exams on March 24-27.
It's quite a rush. xD We're having our recollection on Wednesday and that's a relief. A bit. On Thursday, we're having a practice at the covered court for the PE Culminating activity. And THAT'S already this coming Friday. It's the Grade Nine dancing the boogie and swing! Eeep. Make that a fantasy for me. Or surreal. Yeah, that would be better.

It's almost Holy Week. There's no class, of course. I know, some would be fasting or doing abstinence...
But here's the fact: I'll be 'suffering.' Not literally taken.
Holy Week is the week before our exams.
Meaning, the scenario would be books lying on the table [or maybe even stacked], notebooks on hand, ballpens scribbling/writing... You get the picture.

Schoolcore.
Schoolcore.

Make my remaining schooldays easy and let them glide. Please. :]

Hehehe.

SUMMER! Malapit naaa. xb

Don't sit and wait, 'Cause it may pass you by. And it'll be too late...

2008-02-28T18:35:00.000+08:00

Those lines are from Procrastinator by Sandwich.

There is a LOT to do. A WHOLE lot. It's piling up.

It seems as if every single day, something adds up. The weekend will definitely be a busy one.

Tests, assignments, projects. You name it.

It's crazy how I still bother to talk about it through a blog entry. Don't you think it seems useless...and boring at the same time.

Really.

High School life. It's cliche' but it's the reality.

You gotta glide, don't slip
Get your balance right
Ride with the wind, it's a beautiful sight
You gotta skip, don't jump
The little bumps on the way
Don't let it get to you, don't listen to what they say

Keep the balance right. That's true. Time management. One step at a time. One SURE step.
I got to finish all these requirements. And not before long, it's exam time.

And summer is drawing near. It's an oh-no-I-might-gain-15-pounds-or-more vacation. LOL.

harharhar. For now, it's all about business. School business.

Then freedom! xD

dead tired. still.

2008-02-24T14:32:00.002+08:00

I slept at 12:05.

I had to print about 100+ pages of invitations for a wedding. xD
Right now, the tiredness and the sleepiness have subsided, but I'm feeling pooped. LOL.

But hey, it's all good. High school's like that. College is frankly more than that.

I just noticed that it has been somewhat gloomy all day long. It was raining a while ago. The sun is in hiding once again.

So, there's no school tomorrow because of the EDSA Anniversary. Thankfully...

I need to relax. I badly need it.

Hehehehe. I'm working on a research paper now. Got any good ideas for a topic? It should be anything related to Social Studies. Any help there? :D

Ta-ta for now.

I got to start Google-ing.

Whoa. I'm drained.

2008-02-23T11:36:00.000+08:00

drained

Synonyms: all in, beat, bleary, burned out, dead, dead tired, depleted, dragging, effete, exhausted, far-gone, hacked, pooped, spent, washed-out, weary, wiped out, worn-out

I'm all that. I'm almost done with the last chapter of our SIP.
Science Investigatory Project.
One that deals with the rate of mold growth on plain white, wheat and rye bread.
Sounds interesting? Well, in some way it is,
but it also is a drag. On second thought, it is even more than that.
I'm hurrying. My group is, too. We have to make copies of the final
manuscript for three judges, maybe. There's a Powerpoint to do.
That is, we have to start working on it. And of course, there's the oral defense,
which is
probably what everyone else is dreading. xD

Who likes to sew? Well, I don't. xb And we got to pass darning types.
Get the picture: straight tear, diagonal tear,
L tear.
It's really hard and an ache to your head. The gaps shouldn't be that big and
the pattern should be seen. I have done almost six tries on just the first one.
Yikes.

Yesterday, I just finished typing two sets of book exercises in Social Studies.
It's a relief...but my eyes still hurt from looking at the screen. xB

There's a Biology test to review on and it covers three chapters.
There's another test in English and yet another one in Christian Living.
Who knows whet else might add up...

It is stressful. Everything seems to be relying on time. Precious time. Never waste it.

On a better and happier note [in some way], it's still hard for me to believe
that it's the end term already. It's the Fourth Quarter!
On March 24-27, it's our exams. And then, it's summer...

Summer.

Summer.

Summer.

It's almost there. Ü

It's teh second entry.

2008-02-20T21:14:00.000+08:00

Seven Black Roses. Focus on this acronym: SBR.
I was advance studying for a Science test yesterday. Axial muscles. It was enumerated in my notebook.

Skull.

Backbone.

Rib cage.

And THAT came to my head right away. LOL. See? I still remember what I have studied. xB

So much for mnemonics.
---
So, what was in store today?

Well, of course, a regular school day. But actually we barely had any classes. First two periods were spent cramming on a Diagnostic Test in Math. You should have felt the pain in my neck afterwards. Stiff neck. Close to it.
And it was complicated.
Had a round of Ratio and Proportion in Math during that period.
Since our Science teacher was in Iloilo attending a forum or something, that period was spent doing sme library research.
Well, not really. There was the talking still but at least we were attending to our investigatory paper.

Christian Living, which was after lunch, was spent finishing The Passion of Christ. It had a relation to our lesson... and the rest came after.
The last two periods in the afternoon were spent watching a play of Grade 11.
11 C presented Late Journey Home. It was all good. I couldn't stay for the next play since it was already dismissal. So much for buying a ticket. xD
---
Now what? Nothing much. Except for the fact that there are no classes on Monday because of Edsa Revolution anniversary. :) A day to rest, at least.

Well, meanwhile, I'm still 'exploring' or 'searching' for Pinoy indie music. LOL. Like I'm actually going to listen to every single band in one day.

I'm making a list, though. And that's what I will and NEED to accomplish. :)

Good night.

New Blog.

2008-02-19T21:09:00.000+08:00

Four words.
I just wanted to.
And I don't know the real reason why.
The common reason, even if cliche', would be "I just felt like it."
And so, I did feel like it.
Link exchange again? :) Thanks in advance!
Testing. Testing. Working? I do hope so.
And it's my time to go to bed.
Zzzzz...
