22nd Awit Awards Winner for Album of the Year: Eraserheads: The Reunion Concert by The Eraserheads (Sony Music)

I remember the first time I listened to this album at the listening area of Music One. I went there to buy a CD. (TRIVIA: Mas marami akong nabiling original na CD gamit ang sarili kong pera kaysa sa mga damit!) I think I was planning to buy Nut House by Hilera or any Eraserheads album like Cutterpillow, Circus, etc.

I really didn’t want to buy the reunion album at first because I was waiting for the DVD format. The album cost about 300 bucks and the DVD was about 400, so sabi ko, mas maganda na 'yung DVD na lang 'yung bilhin ko—at least mapapanood ko pa sila.

So when I saw that album, I decided to listen to it. Grabe, gandang-ganda talaga ako! It really felt like I was right there at the concert. Partida, Ely wasn't feeling well then—his mother had passed away just two days before the concert. Physically, you could see that he wasn't moving around too much, pero para sa akin, hindi naapektuhan 'yung pagkanta niya.

Medyo ang tagal ko na ata doon, and I think the saleslady was already looking at me because you're only supposed to listen for 5 minutes. While I was holding

Putek

“Sa itaas ng bubong nakita kong nagunaw ang mundo”

I was listening to NU early in the morning. I heard this song “Putek”. Putek is one of my favorite expressions. Nagsasabi ako ng “Putek” tuwing badtrip, o kaya may nahulog na bagay o kaya wala lang… so ng narinig ko yung song na un I was curious at nagging interested sa lyrics at sa song. At first I thought it is about being bad trip or something. Pero nung nasa chorus na may line na “Sa itaas ng bubong nakita kong nagunaw ang mundo”. And then I realize na tungkol pala ito sa Undoy at Pepeng typhoon. I got teary eyed nung narinig ko pa yung lines na buti sila buhay yung kapitbahay nila namatay…. I heard a lot of songs na pertaining to the past tragedies like yung “Bangon” ni Rico Blanco at yung sa isang kanta na sinulat ni Ogie Alcasid na kinanta ng various artist. Pero eto yung pinaka gusto ko… very youthful and clever yung lyrics. And I know na maramin nakakarelate. Then kung hindi ako nagkakamali si Raymund Marasigan ay nakatira sa Marikina. So I am assuming na from personal experience yung mga yun. So talagang astig….

I wonder kung saang album ito kasama… malamang hindi sa S Marks the spot… I am willing to buy… I love the song!! Putek!

The antagonist

“Maliliit na tao ay walang kalaban laban…”

Bakit may mga taong sadyang ginawa upang maging sagabal sa buhay ng tao? Bakit ba may mga kontrabida? Ano ba ang mapapala nila kung pinahihirapan ka? Bakit may taong natutuwa kapag naghihirap ka?

Hindi ko alam ang sagot… isa lang alam ko… bawat isa sa atin ay may kontrabidang kilala sa buhay nila… Minsan alam natin pero madalas hindi…marahil tayo din ay nagging kontrabaida sa ibang buhay ng tao…

Para sa akinng kontrabida sa buay: “Magtago ka na dambuhala kakampi naming si bathala kung ayaw mo na maniwala sa Diyos mapipinsala…Ahhhh… IKAW AY DAMBUHALA….”

Pero katulad ng isang bida sa isang palabas… sa akin ang huling halakhak… Wahahahaha!!! Akin parin ang happy ending… at ang they live happily ever after….

Blurred Light

I see you’re shattered face
Against the blurred light
I pound it with all my might
Tears rolled down as I cried last night
I surrendered you’re life
The lines are too low
I guess it you’re time, you have to go
Goodbye for now
Good luck for tomorrow

Life is unfair

“I've got another confession to make I'm you're fool…” Foo Fighters

I’m halfway through my thesis! My system can now add, subtract, multiply, etc. My only problem is my "boss." She is absolutely unfair in every way. My graduation depends entirely on her… and that sucks… BIG TIME!!

She has a daughter who is in the same department. Hindi lang 'yun—teacher niya pa! Very unprofessional. I will not be surprised if her daughter makes it to the Dean's List, or graduates summa or magna cum laude at any point. She has the power and confidence to do those things…

Pampalubag-loob, just now I got a message saying that we were accepted as web designers for our former school! I am now an official freelance web designer. I am really thankful to God in spite of this whole unjust situation happening to me. I am now absolutely depending on Him.

Ngayon ko talaga nararamdaman ang presensya ni God. I’m praying that He gives me knowledge and guides me with the code for the system I’m doing. And He really guides me and gives me answers. Really!!! He does give me codes and knowledge about my system—kasi nung umpisa, as in walang-wala! Tapos as days progress, I’m constantly changing my system kasi may naiisip akong bago at parang mali.

Thank you, God… I really know that next year, 7 PESOS NA PAMASAHE KO!!!
