Video Review II

1)Ambisyoso by Kamikazee- in the video you will see daw the real color of the band. Behind those tattoos, strong, funny personality hides inner “girly side”. It is a spoof of the Fab 5. in their version its Fag 5. the video is about reinventing yubg isang guy. But in the end na influence nila yung guy na maging “girly”. Yung video walang koneksyon sa song pero its funny. I will give 3 rock stars out of 5


2) Nakapagtataka by Sponge Cola- well the song I can feel its really x-mas time because of their outfit an may snow pa. head master Jim Paredes ay nag cameo role pa dito. Ok lang band performance. 2 rock stars out of 5

3) DVDX by Sandwich- they have some acting again. The video is about isang pirata na nag pa pirate ng mga cds. Another celebrity ang nag cameo si Edu Manzano. I like yung setting ng video. Astig!! 3 rock stars

4) Kung ayaw mo na sa akin by Sugarfree- the story starts with the guy and girl who play pranks to each other. In the end you will find out that they have a history before. They have this relationship na nabuo sa isang constraction site. The saying “the more you hate the more you love” is really true here. I love how the girl and the guy dance really crazy. 3 and a half rock stars

Misbehaviors


Album: Misbehaviors
Contents: 10 tracks
Label: Warner Music Philippines
Album Artist: Juana

Review:
This is a pop rock/alternative/acoustic album. They don’t establish yet their own sound this is not new thing for a new band. Maybe when they have their 2nd album they will give us a real and improve “Juana sound”. In the album they have some songs that are common like saying goodbye and making “papansin” to the one you’ve been crushing on. But they also have this song that talk about being a queen of their city and what they want to happen this year.

1) Connected- it’s about feeling miserable and doing things in a wrong way. Maybe the one wrote is showing some “misbehaviors”. I don’t like to hear this often because it reminds me of some things. It is also about being unnoticed. So nakaka sad masyado ito.
2) Ikaw Pa Rin- Medyo parang sad yung sound. It’s about a relationship that had been finished but you know that he is still the one you love. Someone leaves him because he has another love one pero ikaw “siya pa rin” ang iniisip. May pagka rock yung sound.
3) This Year- a happy and upbeat song. It talks about what you want to happen this year. Parang may pag ka Barbie Almalbis yung tunog ni Shirley dito.
4) Goodbye- ito yung rock/ pop/ alternative na version. Yung mga sinabi niya ditto ay parang alibi lang. Ito yung tamang sabihin if makikipag break ka sa iyong irog. Heheee. It’s a perfect break-up song for me.
5) Jealous- it is simply about being jealous. Parang may pagka rap ata ito. Hehehe. Medyo mabilis kasi eh.
6) Pansinin Mo- it simply wants to get attention to somebody. One of my favorite songs in the album. Very simple lang pero maganda.i think it’s quite unique.
7) Reyna Ng Quezon City- a funny song. Even Shirley’s voice is funny. I like the rhyming. It is like imagining things. Masarap kantahin habang naliligo ka ng umaga.
8) Sige na Please- Song na nagmamakaawa. i also like this.
9) All- A long song. Pero astig.
10) Goodbye- the acoustic version. Mas gusto ko itong version na ito.
Packaging: Hindi masyado attractive.
Overall: hindi masyado worth it kasi 10 songs lang tapos yung isa acoustic version lang ng isang song tapos 285 bucks. Pero ok na din. Pero if you ask me kung ano yung pinaka least favorite kong cd from my collection ito siguro. Pero ok ito. I just want to repeat. 6 and a half rock stars. Ayos!!

Kami nAPO muna ultraelectromagneticjam

Usong uso ngayon ang pagbibigay pugay sa mga legendary artist. Ito yung pag re-revive ng mga songs from the chosen artist to “pay tribute” to the music that they created. Mostly ang binibigyang tribute ay legendary artist at hindi na nakakagawa ng music lately because of new fields they have, disbanded, rest etc.
Nauna na ditto ang Ultraelectromagneticjam The music of Eraserheads. Nang una ay nagdadalawang isip akong bumili nito dahil na record ko na naman sa tape yung album launch nito. Thanks to Jam. Pero napagtanto ko (Naks ang lalim nun) na collectors edition na din ito. At mas maganda kung merom ka talagang legitimate copy. Ito yung review ko kahit na medyo luma na tong album na ito.


1) Alapaap by 6cyclemind- Maganda at magaling. I know its hard to cover an e-heads original. It’s not the best but they did a great job if we compare to other artist na nag contribute ditto sa album. Magandang opening for an album.
2) Magasin by Paolo Santos- it just prove that mas maganda kung mag acoustic na lang siya kaysa pang rock.
3) Spolarium by Imago- Magnificent! Parang sa kanila talaga yung song. Aia de leon makesi it look fresh. I can say na mas maganda ito sa original.
4) Overdrive by Barbie Almalbis- Cute version ang ginawa niya ditto. Pero cute version is not needed in reviving an e-heads hit. Di masyadong maganda pero pwede na rin.
5) With A Smile by South Border- RnB version. Not that bad but not that good version either.
6) Tikaman by Sugarfree- Same with Imago inangkin nila yung song kahit na sabi nila magkaboses sina Ely at Ebe. Even if di ko nakikita I can feel na nag-eenjoy nila yung kanta.
7) Ligaya by Kitchie Nadal- Hindi appropriate yung song sa isang girl. At first its cute to hear her giggle in the “Ilang ahit pa ba ang aahitin” but if palagi na lang you will get sick of it.
8) Torpedo by Isha- Kakaiba yung version niya. Jazz version astig
9) Superproxy 2K6 by Francis M and Ely Buendia- Nakakaenergize yung song na ito than the original. Ely tries to rap. Masarap pakinggan lalo na when you’re sleepy but needed to be still awake.
10) Huwag Kang Matakot by Orange and Lemons- Ito yung song na minsan gusto ko minsan hindi. Hindi ako consistent for this song. Mas maganda siguro kung they stick with Mcoy to sing this song.
11) Pare Ko by Sponge Cola- Parang fresher version. I don’t like the “tang ina” part kasi parang hesitant si Yael na sabihin yung part na iyon.
12) Huwag Mo Nang Itanong Sa Akin by M.Y.M.P- Pop/Acoustic version. Ayos. One of my Favorites.
13) Hard To Believe by Cueshé- Lame version they should choose a better band to perform. They eat some words.
14) Alkohol by Radio Active Sago Project- ok lang
15) Maling Akala by Brownman Revival- Reggae version. Akala ko nga nung una original song nila ito.
16) Ang Huling Elbimbo by Rico J. Puno- When you hear this song you will ask for the original version.
17) Para Sa Masa by Various Artist- Astig

Overall: Magandang album ito para sa mga kabataan na di masyado kilala ang heads. Since mga popular bands at artist ang mga nag cover mas ma-appreciate nila siguro itong album na ito. But for those who loves e-heads siyempre they will stick to the original versions. 8 and A half stars.

Next legendary artist are Apo Hiking Society. I know them as entertainers and host in the noontime show Isang Linggo nAPO sila. I don’t know much about their singing legacies. When I heard the artist/bands sing their cover I know some songs but I don’t know that it’s from them.

1) Pumapatak ang Ulan by Parokya ni Edgar- Parang kinakanta lang nila kasi kailangan kantahin. Pero infairness nakakarelax.
2) Yakap Sa Dilim by Orange And Lemons- very soothing. I like their style that they make here. One of my favorites from the album. Ang sarap pakinggan pag gabi at pampatulog.
3) Doobidoo by Kamikazee- I don’t know the original but I can say it’s very Kamikazee. Punk/Rock/metal sound with an APO song=excellent rendition. Jay’s voice is not that good but as the song says Di naman kailangan boses mo’y maganda basta may konting tono madaling makanta”.
4) Bawat Bata by The Dawn- Magaling din. They put their own sound.
5) Awit Ng Barkada by Itchyworms- I think all of them sang in the track. If you talk about the voice quality it’s not that good but the whole song and sound is fine.
6) Batang Bata Ka Pa by Sugarfree- They are always good in covering song. I wonder why.
7) Nakapagtataka by Sponge Cola- I heard a M.Y.M.P. and Rachel Alejandro version of this song, so I know its kinda heavy ballad song with some “birit” on the side. Quite surprise that the band sing that song. Ok lang naman yung version but not that outstanding but they prove they can sing any kind of song.
8) Bakit Ang Babae by Sandwich- Parang original song nila.
9) Ewan by Imago- Ang sarap pakinggan ang saya ng sounds. Kahit di bagay yung song for a girl with the line “Bakit nga ba ganyan dalaga’y di alam” pero di naman niya napahalata. One of my favorites din.
10) Pag-ibig by Kitchie Nadal- parang nakakaantok yung boses niya ditto. Ok lang.
11) When I met you by Barbie Almalbis- My favorite song from the album. The kanta niya ng maayos.
12) Panalangin by Moonstar 88- I heard lots of version of this song pero infairness hindi sila nag patalo. I think it’s the best.
13) Blue Jeans by Rocksteddy- wala… Kasi I don’t like the band so I always skip this song the same with…
14) Paano by Shamprock- wala…
15) Anna by Top Suzara- ayos… Nag evolve na siya. Alam ko puro ballad kinakanta niya dati ngayon nagpaka rock na siya. Di mo aakalaing si Top yung kumakanta.
16) Di na natuto by Sound- when I’m listening to this sonng parang si Gary V. yung nakikita ko o na i-imagine. I mean masyado na kasing naka associate yung song sa kanya na di mo maalis sa ulo mo na yung version niya at din a kailangan dagdagan pa.
17) Kabilugan Ng Buwan by Drip- my favorite song. Ang ganda ng sound and boses. ASTIG!!
18) Kumot at Unan mo by Boldstar- Ok din. Ayos!!

Overall: Ayos itong album for the youth of today that has a little knowledge about the APO legacy. Mas ok or tamang tama lang yung pagbibigay tribute sa kanila kasi halos 30 years (ata) silang nag cre-create ng music at medyo huminto muna for how many years, while the members of Eheads are still here and creating music with their different bands.
7 rock stars.

Transit turned Gold because of me… sort of


The sophomore jinx is not true in the case of sponge cola. Their sophomore album Transit turned gold selling more than 15,000 copies. They even won the pop band award on ASAP which in short for popular band award. They have lots of supporters now coming to their gigs. You wouldn’t believe that they once play in a bar that only the waiters were watching and just waiting them to finish. Yael said they play as if there were lots of people. They did that because they did that all because of MUSIC. And that’s one of the thousand things why they are POP-ULAR!!. I believe that incident will never happen again. It’s clear that I’m not the only one who bought the album and became hooked with their music.
Astig kayo!!

Ely the Famous


Ely the Famous

Ely in the past weeks are always on the blind items and headlines of different talk shows, newspapers and tabloids. Last week Christy Fermin of The Buzz tells about the vocalist na nagwawala, umiiyak sa isang bar because
1) Niloko daw siya ng record company (which is Sony-BMG)
2) Iniwan ng mga ka band mates niya(Yan Yuzon, Dok Sergio, Bogs Jugo)
3) Na laos na siya…

And she gave clues:
1) Yung First name niya ay may connection sa relihiyon
2) Yung Surname niya lagging binabaybay na avenue
3) Huling Elkwento ko na ito

She didn’t mention a name pero its clear that it’s Ely Buendia. For me, its not true. I may not know him personally but as what I read in magazines and as what people says about him he is reserve, quiet guy. Lalaking lalaki… So parang napaka un-Ely like talaga yung mga sinabi. Hindi Gawain ng isang Ely Buendia. Then yung mga issues pa ay nbelievable. Ely is definitely still in the band pupil which is still going strong. May mga gigs pa sila. And as I read sa magazine interview na soul mates sila as band members. I have total faith sa mga sinasabi nila. And about dun sa laos na siya… He may not be as famous as with his former band he is much happier now on what he has and his family. Fame is nothing if you are not happy right? Ely laos? With this issues coming out dehins pare ako!!

Catching up with movies

Nov. 30
We have no class today because of the typhoon that looks like Milenyo Part II.
I think of something to do and I came up with an idea to watch a movie. (Because I heard the song “Movie” by sponge cola) We have lots of movies some are pirated and original that were just displayed in our living room. I’m sure that they didn’t buy it just for display pero ganun nga ang nangyayari. As I ‘m searching for a movie to watch I saw “Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind” . I remember reading my seventeen mag, Kitchie was asked about her all time favorite movie and yes, she said that movie because it was too familiar daw. So I decide to pick the movie instead of “Somewhere in Time” and other old movies because I was intrigued why Kitchie said it was too familiar I watched it in my laptop. I munch on some Clover chips and Dingdong. I think the movie should be entitled “Eraserheads” because it is about getting rid of a memory of someone you love (di ko maalis na di ma connect sa music). I love the notion of the movie. Now I’m confused why Kitchie said it was too familiar for her. Nagpabura nab a din siya ng memory? Hahaha. The movie is ok but it wouldn’t be my all time favorite.

walang.... pahinga

Nov. 2 (Saturday)
Grabeh!! I have a class for the whole week. I have this practice today about 8:00-12:30, then have this event for fresh women and junior college students. Our section won 3rd place for the presentation we made. Tomorrow, I need to wake up early because I have to go MCU for my org activities.
A while ago, while waiting for our section to be called for the practice, I saw this women enrolling for college. Parang kailan lang. I’m one of them. As I enter the gate, my eyes were going everywhere to see the place. Nang una nalalakihan pa ako sa school kasi maliit lang yung school ko nung 4th year ako. Pero sa ngayon, naliliitan na ko. I still remember yung entrance exam ko. Yung sakit kong pagkabingi… Napagalitan pa ako kasi di ko sinunod yung directions. Eh di ko kasi narinig eh. Leche!! I’m with my friend Narda that time, classmate ko din siya.
Whew!! Ganito pala ang college. Very stressful, very busy pero ok na din I learn naman eh.

Good Videos starts with good songs

Usong uso na ang mga videos. There are so many music channels these days playing good and not so good videos.
Dati naman hindi uso ang mga videos. Like Eraserheads they don’t have this video for their first single “Pare Ko” and I think all songs that they released in their first album. Rivermaya din ata. Ngayon, almost all songs that you heard in radio have a video. Good videos should start with great song. Like “Ang Huling Elbimbo” the video is just a narration of the song that’s why it won several awards. There’s some videos na very simple lang like “Sugod” that uses only blinking lights as background they just add their “rocking” performance kaya the video is great. Some makes story, some were connected to the song, and some were not. Like “First of Summer” they create a story out of the song. “Akap” for instance have a story that’s not related to the song but still looks fantastic. “Gemini” is also an example. Pero ang usong uso ngayon ay yung mga simpleng band performance tapos my ibang mag- a-acting on the side. “The Day You Said Goodnight” is just one example. The most recent na nakita kong ganito ang tema ay “Kung ayaw na sa akin” by sugarfree. Pero mas gusto ko when the band/artist is the one who acts. Like “241”, “Umaasa”, “Ordertaker”, “Akap” to name a few. Meron namang just make a video for just a heck of it. Yung tipong gagawa lang ng video because it would be their next single and needs to be promote. An example is “Can’t Let You Go” by Cushé. Some have a simple band performance like “Narda”. The song is such a hit in the air waves but not as a video. Meron ding videos that have a celebrity or artist na nag ka-cameo role. Like “Hari Ng Sablay”, “Inuman Na” and the most recent videos that have this idea are “Pintura”, “Umaasa” and “DVDX”. Meron namang mga banda na kahit di gaano kagandahan ang songs napapaganda ang video like Kamikazee and Parokya ni Edgar. It’s like you will always look forward kahit hindi ka nila fan because they were always funny in their videos.

Transit


Album: Transit
Content: 12 tracks
Label: Universal Records
Album Artist: Sponge Cola

Review:
It is a great sophomore album from a group of young musicians. They can create heavy and light songs at the same time. As the songwriting is concerned, nag evolve or mas nag mature pa. I think magugustahan pa lalo ng mga tao ito. Mas catchy yung mga songs dito than the previous one. But it’s all good. I feel the emotions that they want to show.

1) Bitiw- A great opening song for an album. You will look forward to sa iba nilang song. It’s an upbeat song that can make your head bang. It’s a song for their fellow musicians that to continue rocking out and make sure that “wag kang bibitiw bigla” because of course they dream about it and fortunately they achieved it. They also give an advise that “walang laglagan” or no back stubbing to each other because “sama samang hahanapin ang liwanag”. Very meaningful yet beautiful.
2) Tuliro- Lagi silang may background noise even sa 1st album nila. It’s cute ha. Parang mala e-heads yung style na may noise sa background. This happened to you when you we’re in love and don’t know what to do, don’t know what you feel, it is “tuliro”. One of my favorites. Gusto ko yung huling part where my parang choir or something at yung “tuliro, liro, tuliro, liro” part.
3) Movie- a narrative story about watching a movie with a loved one. It’s like na re-relate na natin yung nangyayari sa atin in those movies na we’ve watch. I also love it.
4) The Wandering- another up beat song pero English song this time.
5) Gunita- a light song. I like Gosh when he writes tagalong songs. It is a song made to cherish the times you have with your friends and loved ones because people come and go and you don’t know much time you have with them exactly. Live every moment and make it all count.
6) Do you know the feeling?- I also like this. When I heard this I thought ni revive nila tong song na ito. Parang may katunog na old song. It’s a song that pays tributes to the 80’s glam rock/ stadium rock era. It’s simply looking back to what you’ve feel and realized that things already changed.
7) Sa Bingit Ng Isang Paalam- it’s about how hard to say goodbye to someone you love. It’s also about what might happen next or consequences when someone will leave.
8) Myself In You- It’s like continuation of “Jillian” which Chris wrote and sung. Nag- evolve na yung relationship. It is also one of my favorites. Ang ganda din kasi ng sounds.
9) All We Need- it talks about heartbreak, but the sound is upbeat that can uplift you and leave you inspired.
10) Nocturne- it’s like Neon. I like it. The lyrics and the sounds match to each other. Yael always has this kind of songs in their albums.
11) Pasubali- it is about denial. A straight forward song.
12) Harapin- tastefully ends the album listening experience on an optimistic note. And soaring chorus leaves one with a sense of assurance. It talks about reality of tomorrow, of the future, and encourages a hopeful sentiment towards inevitability.
Packaging: Kakaiba sa mga cds na meron ako. Feeling ko ito yung reason kaya mahal.
Overall: I like it. It’s an album na gusting marinig when you’re doing something, kasi my upbeat songs to awake you up, and there is a “chillax” songs na if you want to slow things. Maganda din itong pakinggan with friends kasi maalala ninyo yung mga memories, past and anything. About the price na 295 bucks, hindi ko masyado gusto yung idea ng price. Siguro kasi kuripot ata ako, pero dahil sa Odyssey record bars meron libreng parang magazine about the band and some pictures ok na din yung price. Pero yung ibang record bars wala nun… so bahala na kayo kung bibilin ninyo. 8 rock strars.

Centennial Celebration: a celebration under the fu@#ing sun

Image hosting

Dec. 08
It all started with a mass held at the field. There’s no enough chairs so kung saan saan lang kami naka upo. After the mass we ate at this carenderia with my friends. We were saving money because Christmas is approaching. We also want to try something new because we are sick of the “Taft Fast Food Chains and Restaurants” we usually go to. After that we need to change our clothes: all black attire for our “Maskara Festival dance”. We change in the male c.r. Tapos wala ng pakielamanan, hubaran na. we are all girs naman eh. At galit nag alit na si Batch rep. We went on the fields to line up. Then we start to walk under the raging heat of the sun while wearing our black outfit. Just imagine how hot we are as we walk to go to the venue at 1:00 at the afternoon. Our white skins turned to red as a sign that we were almost cooked. It’s not enough, we were placed at the side of the track oval where its not shaded. We were already experiencing hell even though were still alive!!(Mag papakabait napo ako!!!) Lucky grade-schoolers and high school students they were at the shaded area. I already hear my block mates cursing our school because it we are already scorching. Thank God they moved us in a better place. The celebration started with a pep rally. I don’t know why I felt Goosebumps while we are cheering for our school. I felt happy to see that they were all happy in spite of what happened a while ago. The crowd noise becomes louder when the helicopter was there. It is there because of the human logo that they will make. Then the high school and college pep squad was there. When they were finished it is time for the college freshies to show what we’ve got as we dance “street dances”. It’s not what the hip hop or harlem dances. It’s the festival dances such as ati-atihan, pinagbenea, mascara, dinagyang and sinulog. We are the 2nd to the last to perform. Oh men!! I really suck in dancing. I can’t move because of the huge maskara we have. The worst thing is that it is caught on the video. I don’t like to watch it. After that grade school, high school also performs. But the most awaited part is the human logo which I didn’t see because we were at the down side of the track oval. Its ok I’ll wait for the pictures. Then its time to call it a day. I saw my high school classmate and tell her that sabay na kaming umuwi. She introduced me with her block mates and friends. I’m happy that it’s finished. The practices, encounter with sun will finally paid off because it will be part of our mid term grade.
I saw Gab Alipe and the rest of Urbandub in Wazzup Wazzup. They perform “Frailty”. Congrats for being the “Vocalist of The Year” at the recently concluded NU rock Awards. ASTIG kayo!!

Beautiful Machines


Album Title: Beautiful Machines
Content: 14 tracks
Label: Sony-BMG
Album Artist: Pupil

Review:
Pupil is Ely Buendia’s band after Eraserheads and The Mongols. Ely with Dok Sergio (bass), Yan Yuzon (guitars) and Bogs Jugo (drums) come up with an understandably great rock album to have. I don’t know if they were only one who comes up with the idea that all of them plus their manager sings in an album. Guitar driven, heavy sounds, good lyrics were all here. Yung voice din nila pare-pareho, nakakantok. But in a good way. That’s their style eh. You can’t mistake this for an E-heads album even though their vocals were just the same. Here, some songs talked about love, hope, driving and fame.

1) Different Worlds- it’s a right song for a gig or concert. It says that even if we’ve been in different places or worlds (for instance as what the title is) we manage to be in the area. It is also about those people who went in that show and stayed as it ends.
2) Blow Your House Down- it’s a written for a cg animated movie called “hoodwink”. This song is really good for an animation movie. Ely knows what really fits for anything and everything.
3) Nasaan Ka?- a song written for the departed one of Diane’s mother (Ely’s wife). But it can also be a love song. It’s about losing someone and hoping that he/she will be back. Medyo light ito compared sa ibang songs na kinanta ni Ely. I love the line “Mahahanap din kita kung may langit nga ba? Mahahanap din kita!!” This is one of my favorites from the album.
4) She Talks To Trees- it’s about a girl who is mysterious. He can’t understand why she is like that. Ito yung di ko masyado gusto sa album.
5) False Alarm- Bogs Jugo is the vocals in this song. It’s the first song that he is in the vocals. May pagka slow yung music. In fairness, may boses din siya. Nakakaantok yung song. I don’t know if it will be compliment or what. The song is about break-up. it is a song about a love that should be stop because it’s false alarm kind of love. Yung tipong kayo na, then you love each other pero biglang naramdaman mo na hindi pa… Ang sakit ng linya na “Kalimutan mo na ako, Kalimutan mo na, nakalimutan ko na, Kalimutan mo na na minahal kita…”
6) Gamu-gamo- it is comparing to people who are like a moth that it is attracted to light which is fame to us. The song is really meaningful. Gusto ko yung pagka compare ni Ely parang kung titignan mo lang parang walang connection. But you know Ely is Ely.
7) Mary- Yan’s first song. I don’t like Yan’s voice. It’s like dull. Parang di masyado nagbabago yung notes from the 1st verse hanggang matapos. The song is about Mary basically.
8) Hypersober- 2nd song from Bogs. May pagka disco yung sounds. Pero mas maganda yung 1st song niya.
9) Dulo Ng Dila- The one and only song that Dok sings and I think he should sing more. Astig yung sounds, yung lyrics. Kakaiba kasi yung tema niya ditto. About wanting to tell something but can’t remember and as Filipino’s expression “nasa dulo na ng dila ko”. Gusto ko ito.
10) Beautiful Machines- Diane is the vocals here. Actually gusto ko din ito. Kakaiba kasi yung style ni Diane eh.
11) All this Time- After how many songs na iba ang kumanta Ely is back with this song. Maganda. Nice guitars, drums and bass sound. Astig!
12) Dianetic- I think it’s my favorite song. It’s a song that Ely wrote for his wife Diane. Kaya nga “Dianetic”. I’ve read na Dianetic is a part of Scientology. Ayon to sa kakapiranggot na alam ko, Scientology is a religion na kung saan they worship aliens as god (Tama ba?) Anyways, parang nag merge yung ibig sabihin talaga ng “Dianetic” sa linyang “Bawat halik ay tanda ng pangako na ako’y sa’yo at magiging akin ka sa puso’t kaluluwa” na para kay Diane. Kung ako sasabihan nito, papakasalan ko talaga agad. Hehehe. Ang astig, ang sarap pakinggan at nakaka in love talaga if someone tells it to you.
13) Kalawakan- Gusto ko din to. Up beat yung sound.
14) Lost Guide- 2nd song na si Yan ang boses. Katunog lang din ng “Mary”. Pero mas gusto ko ito, kasi may improvement na. At parang bumirit pa si Yan ditto. Puro abut “driving” yung subject niya.

Packaging: Tamang tama lang yung eye na image dun sa album. Ayos lang…
Overall: Astig. Must have ito. Kakaiba, Parang in a way makakalimutan mo yung E-heads. Pero habang pinatutugtog mo lang yung album. Siyempre you can’t forget that.
8 rock stars… worth it naman ang 285 bucks.

NBSB


“NBSB”

I’m love by my mother
Love by my father
But no suitors
Here in the corner
Already old
No one is ready to hold
My heart that I can lend
To someone I can depend

No boyfriend since birth
That’s what I’m called
But don’t worry
Why hurry?
I’m too young
To hurt by someone
I just enjoy my life
Like couples can’t

Boxing makes the people come together

NOVEMBER 19

The world suddenly stops when the most awaited boxing match of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao versus Eric “El Terible” Morales as they finish their tie breaking status for the WBC Supper Feather weight Champion. The noisy people, the videoke singers, children playing, tricycles and jeepneys were all gone. They were all on their respective houses watching the event. Every time Pacquiao has a match Filipinos were always willing to support the Filipino’s pride. It is also time to forget for the mean time our problems and focus on a Filipino who was representing us. Even though halos isuka na natin ang Pilipinas sa dami ng problema mabuti meron isang Manny Pacquiao na nandyan at patunayan na masarap maging Filipino.
It is also let us to have a family bonding. In my case we were complete watching the fight on Solar Sports or ABS-CBN. When Sarah Geronimo sings “Lupang Hinirang” I felt something I can’t explain, I think mixed emotions. You can see how Filipinos support Manny. The match ends only at Round 3. Ang bilis ng laban. Hindi pa nag iinit pwet ko sa pagkaupo ko tapos na laban.
Yes, Manny Pacquiao done it again he makes the Filipino proud to be a Filipino. So mali pala si Madonna dun sa song na “Music”. “Music makes the people come together.” Dapat “Boxing and Music makes the people come together”

Late Bloomer

I envy those people who have watch and heard Eraserheads live. Nakakainis!!! Bata pa kasi ako nung time when they were still alive. How preposterous I am not be able to like them when they hit no.1 in various radio stations, winning awards left and right and selling their albums like candies not pancakes. Kung kelan nag disband na sila tsaka ko lang sila nakilala at nagustuhan. Actually I know them or heard their songs but not like buying their albums, watching them on TV or whatsoever unlike today. I’m flabbergasting on how they write songs and create songs that just right for everyone. There’s a lot of band at this day, but I think no one be able to hit the Eraserheads status-you know releasing an album and on its first day it will hit gold, the next day platinum… Pero I’m mystified kasi kahit na sikat na sikat sila nagsasawa din pala ang mga tao sa kanila. Nung mga last few albums nila konti na lang ang bumili.
I remember what Chito Miranda said na he prays every night that Eraserheads will be back again. I read in a magazine that Mark Escueta regrets na na-disband ang E-heads. about the E-heads vs. Rivermaya thing, Rico Blanco was honored na nagging parang magka rivalry sila. Good competition. And if you ask musicians about their musical influences, Eraserheads will always be on the list.
So ngayon I’m contented watching their videos in Myx, MTV or You Tube. I wish that they have this

Eraserheads when they were still "alive"

“REUNION" kahit na its imposible at this point. I understand because they were busy with their different bands. I know that the reunion will not be their priority. But if they want to have plenty of money have this reunion and I’m sure na kahit na P1000 ang lowest price marami ang pupunta isa na ako dun. Basta sabihin lang ng maaga para mapag ipunan. And I think Araneta will not be enough.
Or maybe kahit mag balik lang yung friendship nilang apat. Kahit wala na yung reunion because mas importante yung pagsasamahan na nabuo nila while they were in the band. Sayang naman kasi diba? Parang kung ako isa sa kanila nakaka upset na after 10 + years bigla na lang magkakalimutan or magkakailangan. I know na sina Raimund, Buddy and Marcus were still close. Si Ely lang ata ang napalayo, but I read that he is close with The Dawn where Buddy is a member. So I think they can resolve things pa. But I remember these and it’s quite sad when Ely said in an interview if he still talks to other ex E-heads members. Hindi na daw. And add a shocking reply, I already forgive them but I also forget them. How come? Parang fragmented eh He said that he already forgive them pero don’t want to remember them. If you want to forgive kailangan makalimutan mo na what happened but not the person. If that’s the case reunion will not happened.
Whatever will happen I will continue listening to their songs, continue to buy their albums and continue daydream about the reunion. That’s all I can do.

The way it used to be

The Way It Used To Be

Always on my side
When everything seems to collide
Always on my back
When everything seems to attack
That’s the way it used to be
So far away from today
So far from those days
When you’re the song I sing
And I’m your everything

As I walk on the lonely sand
Trying to remember every single word you’ve said
Trying to memorize your lines
So I have the strength in these bad times
I got satiated in imagining
I got satiated in shamming
That’s now how it use to be
That’s not I would like to be

That’s the way it used to be
So far away from today
So far away from these days
When you’re the beat of my heart
And I’m you’re light in the dark

Video Review I


1) Waltz by Hale The video is quite boring. At first you will feel excited on what will Champ will do with his leading lady. His leading lady just stands there for the whole time. I think its better if she acts like she is bad because in the song it shows that way “I hate the way you are. So mean to me by far. The most frigid girl that I ever know.” The song shows how the guy is really angry with that girl but in the Champ and the girl’s scene I can’t se that. I think the best part is when Roll, Omnie and Sheldon shows what I’m looking for-the angst, anger and madness by throwing stuffs, breaking a guitar and punching the wall.


I will give 2 and a half stars for breaking expensive guitars, lights and glasses.
 2)Take my hand by Calla Lilly It reminds me of the e-head’s video “With a smile”. I don’t know why but maybe because the members of Calla Lilly were costumes and they also have this young girl with pretty white dress or maybe because Kian looks like Ely Buendia. The story of the video is about his girl who was bored while eating dinner with his family. He saw a boy under the table and “take his hand” and joined him in a happier world where there were some clown, drummer boy, magician (portrayed by calla lilly). Same with the E-heads video the girl became happier with the band members.
I will give 3 and a half stars for picking a more beautiful girl.



3) Bitiw by Sponge Cola The video and their album has the same concept. They put animation. The train, tricycle, bill boards and everything is made of animation. The only real were the Sponge Cola boys. The video shows some places in Manila and of course the guys rockin performance. They did some acting there like going at the top of the train and balancing themselves. They always make a video that is simple but elegant video like Klsp, una, Gemini and Jeepney that all went to number in Music Charts.
3 and half stars are just right for them.



4) Umaasa by 6cyclemind Barilan… that’s not surprising that they have this action video because they were 5 boys in the band. It’s about a girl (Nancy) that some guys kidnapped. I like the “Barilan” effect. These guys can act. I just fon’t like the Francis M. scene where he just rap. I’m so focused on the “barilan” scene because I want to know who got shot by whom. Parang I love the scene that I don’t want to cut it. I think its Chuck or Tutti who was left alive and sae Ney then Ney let nancy escape. Ney died then Nancy saw him lying in the floor so she gets a gun then… to be continued…Damn!! I want to know what will happen next.
I love it!! I will give 5 stars.



SEM BREAK is OVER!!

Nov. 10

2nd sem. It’s so good to hear. I’m halfway through my journey being a college fresh woman. Time really runs fast. I remember how I struggle in meeting new friends in my first days. Now I have friends that I’m happy with. I learned a lot. Siguro dapat lang. the tuition fees is no joke. at first I don’t want to change our professors. Pero when I saw my Philosophy prof wahahaha!!! Ok lang… he’s handsome ha…
Wahahaha!!! Am I in love with my prof…?

Na-ah… hehehe hindi no… may itsura lang naman siya and almost all of my classmates like him so why do I make saw saw pa noh…
Let’s just say na I just make him a person to look forward to. I mean for example when I don’t like to go to my class and I know its his class, gaganahan akong pumasok. Or I will listen to him attentively because I like him… eh di mataas na grade ko nakikita ko pa siya…

Top 10 songs when it’s like me-against-the-world mood
These are songs I love to listen when I’m down and depress.
1) With a smile-When I hear this song it reminds me to smile even if I have tons of problem around.
Lyrics that I love- “Lift your head baby don’t be scared of the things that will go along the way. You get by with a smile you can’t win at anything but you can try”.2) Akap- It relaxes me. I can listen to it hundred times. It gives a simple answer to my difficult question.
Lyrics that I love-“Nagtatanong bakit mahirap sumabay sa agos ng iyong mundo? Simple lang naman ang buhay kung ika’y matino”.3) Oo- Yung first sound pa lang na maririnig mo nakakarelax na. Samahan mo pa ng powerful voice ni Armi Mallari.
Lyrics that I love- “Malas mo ikaw ang natipuhan ko”4) Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling ka- eraser head’s version. It makes me feel happy even it is about rain. Ang sarap pakinggan lalo na pag umuulan.
5) Burnout- Same with “Oo” 1st stanza pa lang nakakaloka na sa ganda.
Lyrics that I love-“oh kay tagal din kitang minahal”
6) 214- Love Bamboo’s voice and Rico’s songwriting there that makes my spirit uplift.
Lyrics that I love- “Am I real?” and “The world could die and everything may lie still you shouldn’t cry. Cause time may pass and everything will last I’ll be by your side”.7) Jeepney- Whenever I hear this song hindi pwedeng hindi ako maki sing along kay Yael so nakakalimutan kong may pproblema pa la ako.
Lyrics that I love- “kulay ng iyong ngiti at tikwas ng iyong buhok ang lambot ng iyong labi… ng iyong labi”8) Spolarium- I love it wheter it’s eraserheads or imago’s version. Nakakarelax, nakakaantok…
9) Ligaya- There was a time when I’m sad then Ligaya played on my radio, parang it tells me to feel “Ligaya” even if I have some dilemma.
10) Tuliro- Natatawa ako sa song na ito. Meon pang Hay… Tapos yung paulit ulit na pag sabi ng tuliro… if you can’t understand me buy Transit to find out. (hehehe nag promote)

Top 10 videos

These are my top 10. Meaning my favorite and I think the best for me in the OPM scene.
Top 10 videos
These are my top 10 videos.
1) Ang Huling Elbimbo- The video speaks for the song. I mean the song has great lyrics so the video is just a narration of the song. I also chose it for the number 1 spot because it won several music video awards here and outside the country.
2) Gemini- May pagka theater effect ito. I love the Romeo and Juliet theme. I love the lines that Yan Yuzon(Romeo) and Ina Feleo(Juliet) tell. Even if there is a scene that Yan and Ina acts, still, the Sponge Cola boys were not eaten by the acting of the two. They perform proficiently.

3) Tumatakbo- This is a video with 3D animation. The first OPM artist to venture in this 3D setting.
4) Sugod- Very simple yet elegant. They just have a black and lightning background and vigorous performance that makes this a superb video.

5) First of Summer- If you don’t know the band then you saw the video you might think it’s a foreign band. The video was astounding. I like the story that they made.
6) 241- Nakakakilig na video. Rico Blanco did something different here, kissing a girl. I like the story. It fits the song. Two guys for one girl.

7) Daliri- A bloodcurdling video.
8) Akap- inexplicable video. I can’t understand why Aia de Leon agreed on the 2 guys to get her inside in the trunk of the car
9) Paano nangyari yon? - A comical spoof of the fantastic videos, Akap, The Day You Said Goodnight and Sugod. I’m laughing hysterically when the plump vocalist was trying to copy the video “Akap” where he was placed at the trunk of the car. Obviously, he doesn’t fit on it.

10) Sa Uulitin- Very 80’s. It’s right for people like me who doesn’t exist at that time. It gives idea on how people in the 80’s dress, hairdos, place looks like.

Milenyo Part II

Oct.1
My tita and pamangkins went here. So medyo masaya saya ngayon. Parang nakakalimutan na naming walang kuryente. It was so hot na talaga!! I just continue to paint my cabinet. We went to church. Then about 10:30 the most anticipated event happened… Nagkaroon na ng electricity… We turned on agad yung aircon… Ang init eh!!...

I realize that it’s hard to live life when something na we get to used to vanished.

Milenyo

Sept.30
Oh men!! We are bored to death!! But you know parang I get to used na rin na walang electricity. Our maid went to somewhere so I need to do some chores. At least I have something to do. I also fixed my room and decorate it. My mother let my phone be charged in the church where she plays the piano and they have practice there.

Lost PartII

Sept.29
No electricity pa rin. So I just read magazines, listen to my cel, and play sungka with my family. We imagine our favorite shows. Medyo mainit init na, so kailangan na mag paypay. My cell phone…Low batt na!!

Lost

Sept. 28
The fear of not watching my fave shows, listen my fave songs and surf in the net because of not having electricity already occur in my life. The typhoon “Milenyo” is the cause of our agony. I’m fortunate to charge my cell phone before the black out happened. My cell phone has a radio so I just listen to it. I can’t text because I have no load and Smart is having some problems with their signal. We slept without air-condition or kahit electric fan man lang. But it’s ok kasi malamig, malakas ang wind at medyo nauulan pa.

Under Crisis

I blame it on the world
So sad and so absurd
It’s my pride that fuels my lies
I have no where else to turn
Drop ashes from the burns
Comprised my life
Breaking down the walls
That’s dividing and keeping me from you
Racing out…
Screaming out your frustrations
Reaching out for a savior
I need a savior now
Is heaven around?
I’m calling out
I’m craving now
For a new dawn to descend my soul
I’m racing now
Chasing after my salvation
I’m tired of falling down


Sometimes I think that I’m worthless and restless. Feeling ko ang liit liit ko. Well maliit naman talaga ako. Feeling ko wala akong magawa, pwedeng gawin at maaring gawin. Natatakot akong mag try ng mga bagay dahil baka di ko kaya. Natatakot akong magkamali. Yeah, that’s the real me. Maliit, shy, feeling small, scared to make a mistake, feeling so worthless, magulo ang utak pero you can depend on me. I’m someone you can trust. You need to tell secrets to someone. I’m willing to listen and willing to lend my shoulders to cry on. Pero walang money matters ha…

Stupidity

September 25
My block mates are my favorite block mates ever. They are my favorite because I never had a block mates before. They are my first. Anyways, I love what happened this day and whenever I think of it I laugh. It’s our Com. Arts make up class. This is what happened…:
1st Scene
Ms. Tadeo: Kindly take off what’s in your head. (Telling to Jessa, but she didn’t tell a name)
Jessa: (Look at her back)
Us: Tawanan
Why? Because siya ung may papel sa ulo na pinatatanggal ni Ms. Tadeo. Tingin pa siya sa likod… Wahahahahaha…
2nd Scene
Ms Tadeo: Where do chickens live?
Us: Cockpit
Farm
Land
Nest
Cage
Chikennery….
Hahahahaha…
We didn’t guess the right answer. It is coop.
What a stupid answers. But it’s funny…


"Anong sinabi ng iyong dibdib... anong kailangan mong marinig... Parang ganyan ganyan ganyan..."



Psychulasa Concert ’06-Arts and Music Festival


Sept.22
I thought this event will be cancelled because of the heavy rain around 4:00pm. I’m wearing my school uniform because my last class is 3:30 and at the ticket the concert should start at 4:00. Anyways, while waiting I went to the library(Naks!!) to browse some books. It should start on 4:00pm but it started around 6:00pm. The first performer is a SCC band. Shallmar and the extra pilots. I’ve seen them before in our orientation were they also performed. They were good there, but in the concert they didn’t perform well. Theysang “Nakakabaliw” “P.O.D.” song and some original composition that they will use for the Juicy Fruit Contest. The male violinist, vocalist eyes were “nakatirik” ala Undertaker while singing. The next band is Pedicab. Diego Mapa (vocalist) is the only original member there. It’s funny how he sings, jump and dance. They perform “Dizzy Boy”, “Konti na Lang”, “Dito Tayo Sa Dilim” and another song that I don’t know. The next performers were Mojofly. While fixing something the audience was already excited. The guys wanted to see Lougee(vocalist) and us girls love to see Ali (drummer). As lougee stepped on the stage you’ll here screams. They perform “Minamalas”, “Thank You”. “Mata”, and “Choose”. I’ve seen Lougee perform before and I was shocked how she improved. She now dances ala Aia de Leon. Naku yung mga katabi kong lalaki ang lilibog. Low waist kasi yung pants ni Lougee tapos pag nagtataas siya ng kamay umaangat yung damit niya… Tuwang tuwa ang mga loko… After there performance kahit na medyo pagod si Ali, he gave effort to have some picture and talked with him. HAYYYY!!! Ang GWAPO nia talaga!!! Ano kaya ang pinakakain ng magulang niya? Kakaiba kasi siya… While si Lougee, hindi nagpapicture or what so ever… Pero I understand her. Next band Up dharma down another favorite. Maganda pala si Armi (vocalist) kahit medyo chubby siya. When they perform medyo umambon. It’s funny kasi nag sorry siya samin. Well, di naman niya kasalanan yun diba? They perform “Oo” “Pag-agos” and 2 songs that I don’t know. She’s cute while performing. Ang Astig talaga ng “oo” nakaka in love… After that I left. Meron pang Dicta License at Stone Free. Di ko masyado type yun and kompleto na araw ko nakita ko na si ALI!!!...

I was very tired. But I can’t sleep. I fixed my room, decorated it. I slept around 12:00pm. I also texted my blockmate Irene. Nag so-sorry ako sa kanya… I’ll tell later…

My Band World

My band World
Sept. 21
I like music. Band music. If you will go to our house you might see me in my room or anywhere and listening to radio, computer or IPod. I’m addicted to it. I buy albums from my favorite bands. I have:
· Palabas (First album bought)
· Mojofly “Now”
· Eraserheads Anthology
· Misbehaviors
· Nina Live!(Pirated)
· Versions and Beyond(Pirated)
· Take 2
· Rivermaya Greatest Hits
· Ultra Electro Magnetic Jam
· Beautiful Machines
· Ultra Electro Magnetic Pop
· Between the Stars and the Waves
· Mojofly 2 in 1
· Barbie-The Singles
· 5 on the Floor
· Transit (last album bought as of know)
And still want to have:
· Circus
· Cutter pillow
· Fragmented
· Embrace
· Blush
· And other E-heads album
When I was young I remember that I let my mother buy albums I like. I remember buying Britney Spears(1st album), Shades of Purple and Larusso to name a few. I’m also listening to April Boy’s songs, Jessa Zaragosa. Hahahaha… Now I can’t imagine myself listening to them. Now, I’m listening OPM pa rin pero, mga band na. Actually, kelan lang ako nakinig at bumili ng albums. I think just last year. How sad… Kelan lang din ako nakinig ng eraserheads songs. I mean I heard them before. But I’m still young and don’t have taste in music that much. Its like I know them, know their songs but doesn’t care much about them. Mabuti ang Rivermaya, buhay pa hanggang ngayon. At least nahabol ko pa sila. I also listen to other old bands like The Teeth, Alamid, The Dawn to name a few. Humahabol naman ako sa mga nalagpasan ko eh. Well its better late than sorry.

Minamalas

Sept.20

Oh shit... I lose 120 pesos a while ago. But it was lost that I know I will lose. Malabo? Well I bought a ticket for 120 bucks then when I’m searching for it, nawawala na. I bought again. Why I want to watch that gig? Because mojofly, updharmadown, pedicab and others were there. Anyways I also bought transit and banda magazine featuring of course sponge cola. I love “Tuliro”, “Harapin”, “and Sa bingit ng isang paalam”, “Nocturne”.
“Ang ugali mo ay iba hindi bagay sa ating dalawa pakiusap sana pag kasama ka naman wag kang balahura. Ako ay minamalas…”

Lines to live by…

These are some lines from some of my favorite songs. These lines make the song more meaningful and make these songs my favorite. When you have questions need to be answered just listen to a song. You might find your answers.

Tulad ng isang panagnip ako ay gagapang sa isip mo. Bawat halik ay tanda ng pangako na ako’y sa’yo at magiging akin lang sa pusot kaluluwa…” When somebody will tell this to me, I will fall. I will fall in love and also fall literally. It shows how a guy loves you and how he thinks of you. With these lines, I have an idea what really kiss means and when only should do it.

“Awit na nanawagan, baka sakaling mapakinggan. Pag-ibig na palaisipan sa kanta na lang idarraan. Nag-aabang sa langit sa mga ulap sumisilip sa likod ng mga tala kahit sulyap lang darna…” It is not really about darna or any super hero. It’s about loving or liking someone who is impossible to love you. He or she maybe famous people, already take, doesn’t know you, etc.

“Di mo na kailangan mag alinlangan kung tama ang gagawin mo. Basta huwag kalimutang mag dahandahan kung di sigurado sa kalalabasan… kalalabasan ng binabalak mo. Maliit na butas lumalaki konting gusot dumarami, kung di mo maibabalik sa limot akala kapag namulat ka sa maling akala…” It is a friendly reminder that we should always keep on mind. To think twice, trice in everything we do or say.

“In a world where everybody hates a happy ending story it is wonder love can make the world go round. And baby you don’t bring it down and turn your face into a frown it’s funny but I’ll say it anyway… Girl I’ll stay through the bad times…” It’s a line to live by. Always remember to smile even there is a lot of problems besides you. Everybody is need to be love and be loved. And for me, there is always someone who is there through good and bad times. That is my parents and God.

Counting the hundred Islands


hehehe...
my goal with this trip is to count how many islands there are in hundred islands...
laki ng problema ko noh?We went to Hundred Islands to snorkel and to see the mangroves. I woke up 4:40 to eat break fast and be ready to go to my school. My mother accompanied me because it was too early for me to go to school alone. I’m just in time when I arrived, we just wait few minutes then we already leave. In the bus, I’m with my friends. We jut talk, listen to Ipod, took pictures and eat for more than 4 hours. We arrived in Pangasinan about 1:30 pm. Then we ate our late lunch. I think it’s my first time to eat a lot because of long hours spending inside the bus. We ate daing na bangus, lechoon kawali and vegetables. We went to our hotel to put our things and leave it there. Our room is just right for 4 of us. We change our clothes and wear our swimsuits. We rode in a boat to go to the islands. First we went to the Pinoy Big Brother Island to see the Pinoy Big Brother House. Umakyat kami somewhere 120 steps daw. At the top, we saw the 123 islands.hehehe hindi ko nabilang eg sinabi ng tourist guide. Sayang!! We took pictures. It is quite tiring to go up and down there. After that we went to the Quezon Islands to snorkel. It’s quite relaxing to see the fishes and corals down there. After that feeling so cold, because we’re all wet and it’s raining, we went to the bus and went somewhere where there is a mangrove. Naglakad kami for how many minutes. Its getting dark already. So ayun… nagtanim kami ng madilim… After that tiring activities, kain kami agad. Again I ate a lot for the 2nd time. Sa wakas tataba na ako!!We took a bath then straight to bed kami. because next day kailangan pa naming gumising ng 7:00 am… hayyyy….

NEXT DAY…

So we woke up about 6:45 am then ate breakfast. Again this is my 1st time to eat a lot of breakfast. I’m not use to eat a lot during morning. We need to listen to someone who talked about hundred islands. Then we went to souvenir shops to buy a souvenir. I bought a shell where there is the name of my brother. I’m so lucky. Even though I’m miles away from home I was able to watch Sponge cola in ASAP performing “Bitiw” in one of the stores there. Then we need to go back to the hotel and fix our things to be ready to go home. We ate our lunch. It is still raining very hard. Then we go straight to the bus. Another 4 hours there. My butt already hurts. We do the same things again, but in addition we played sunka inside the bus. Then I’m back in Manila, back to my home. I ate a lot again. I’m so happy I was able to catch Sponge cola again singing “Nakapagtataka” a revival of APO classic. When my parents heard it all I hear is bad comments about their version. The original is very relaxing, while Sponge Cola’s version is full angst. Siumisigaw lang daw. Oh men!! They are too old for this kind of music. For me, it’s their version of the song. They sang it the way they sang their own songs. Hay… I need to rest. I will not go to school tomorrow…

Good Morning!!

Being a girl is so hard. Imagine this boys… having a period and still be look nice and smell good, having a baby in your womb for 9 months and staying away from smokes and alcohol. That is so hard. I bet.

I wake up 7:30 am. Turn my radio on, and to my surprise “Lunes” by Spongecola is being played.
Next is “With A Smile”(our high school theme song ). Then “Panahon na Naman” by Rivermaya. It’s really a good morning!!! My friend Barbie texted me and sending quotes and jokes. So I texted her back with the same content. We talked about anything and everything.
Next week will be fun. My organization has lots of things to do this week because it’s their org. week. I have a plenty of quiz. I will watch “Tulad Ng Dati” this Wednesday. Tuesday, Spongecola will be in OPM(Other People’s Music) in 97.1 WLSFM. On Friday Spongecola will have a album launch on Metro Walk, I guess. I have an upcoming snorkeling this Saturday in Hundred Islands. I’m so excited!!! This Sunday, Spongecola will be on A.S.A.P. for their album launch.
I’m really excited for the happenings this week!!!!
