What's going on?

“Mother mother too many dying… You’ve got to find a way to bring some love hidden there… War is not the answer”

I feel lucky and kind of having 2nd life. I am supposed to go to Glorietta after going to school to buy some clothes. I didn’t go because my friends decided to not go to school. so hindi na din ako umalis. Then at 1:30 pm sumabog ang Glorietta 2. if you think about it maybe at this time I’m not here writing about this. Now I’m scared going to Glorietta. Last week I went there for almost 2 times. It really scares me. awoooh!!

Because of this I realized that I have some things to do. I mean I didn’t die or get wounded there because it’s not yet my time and I still have some work to do. I need to do my mission… to save the earth from the forces of evil…



As of this moment there are about 8 casualties and about 80, more or less which are wounded. The cause is still not known. They tell it’s because of LPG gas, some says it’s a bomb. Then a while a go I also heard about some suicide bombers, etc, etc…

What’s going on?

I don’t know…

Wild Life

Album Title: Wild Life
Label: Sony BMG
Album Artist: Pupil
Content: 12 tracks
Price: 285 bucks

Review:

“Wild Life” is the 2nd album of Pupil. The album kicks off with “Fin” with Dianne Ventura singing on that song. A 1:21 minutes long. Wonder why so short. She improved with her singing style. I think the song is for Ely were we all know suffered heart attack early last year. If Ely wrote “Dianetic” for her now it’s her time to sing and write a song for him. I like the line “I found the missing piece in you at last”. I hope I will find the missing piece to complete me. Anyways very ironic kasi 1st song then ang title Fin. Then “Matador”. I like the drum beats and Diane’s extra at the last part. Yeah!! “Monobloc”. Medyo nakaka intrigue yung line na “ililigtas sa mga buwaya”. If I’m not mistaken crocodiles pang metaphor sa taong selfish. Wonder who Ely is pertaining the line to. maganda yung message ng song it’s facing the future with your loved one. Si ely ang nagsulat so I assume that in the song he faced different problems with his life and perhaps love life din (nakita ko sa song) and how lucky Ely is. “ano pa ang hahanapin lahat na ay sa akin” then “Here I go again”. Ang lupet ng bagskan ng instruments. Rock na rock I should say. Despite what happened Ely is here again performing. Then “Talon” by Yan. Catchy siya unlike yung songs niya from the 1st album. And ito yung pinaka favorite ko from his songs. he proves that he could be the vocalist. O.k. yung voice niya pati yung songwriting pwede na talaga siyang mag front man of a band. Dumidikit sa utak ko yung lines and yung tono. “Sumasabay” by Dok and Day Cabuhat is my least favorite song from others. Maybe because I love “Dulo ng Dila” so much that I wanted him to write a song like that. but of course hindi pwedeng puro ganun. “Animal Lover” nung nariinig ko parang Mongols ba ito? Then “Teacher’s Pet” I like the idea of letting Eon sings at the last part. ang cute!!! Yung song I could say is a very child friendly song. madali lang din mamemorize. I heard sabi nila marami silang fans na kids so ayos to. “Sala” by Pupil. I really like this sooooo much!! yung song is about the reality that “mundo ay puno ng sala”. Then “Disconnection Notice” wala… LUPET!! Ely really knows what a good song is or how to create one. Ang lupet kasi kakaiba yung idea na magsulat tungkol sa pag di bayad ng kuryente or anything. Pero may iba pang meaning yung song. parang whether you like it or not parang kailangan mong gawin mga bagay bagay. Pagkatapos ng very upbeat song nagpaka slow naman si Ely with “Bato”. Ely is flexible and versatile. He can do anything that people surely like. Then “Set Me Apart”. Back to the, if I could say normal sound of Pupil.

The album once again is very good. Although at first I told to myself parang sayang ata pera ko. Pero when I give it a try malupet talaga. Yung theme maybe some are ordinary pero nalagyan nila ng twist or added the Pupil style. Ngayon medyo na de-determine ko na yung sound nila. Wala na yung E-heads sound like some people say tungkol sa 1st album. Yung Mongols medyo nandun pa rin. There’s nothing wrong since parang Mongols parin less Bogs and Jerome. Pero konti lang din. I also realize that ely really knows what songs people will love. Like now they are out with “Sala” as their single yun yung isa sa mga songs na medyo crowd friendly plus “Disconnection Notice”. Pero kahit meron siyang ability na ganun hindi niya nillubos lubos. And that’ what I like about them they are here not really because of popularity but because they want just to play and share their music.

Who will like it?People that are open-minded about music.Best among the rest:“Sala”, “Disconnection Notice” for it’s up beat and disco feel, “Teacher’s Pet” and “Monobloc”.

Album Sleeve:
I didn’t like it that much unlike on “Beautiful Machines” but the songs occupies what it lacks.

Rating:
4 rock stars out of 5

Disband: OnL

“Coz’ this angel has flown away from me…”

Last Sep.30 Orange and Lemons finally call it quits. They say that it’s because of musical differences. You will let me believe it? Well…. I think it’s the safest way if you are to ask why you disbanded. I heard a rumor or gossip that Macoy and Clem is an item. Then they broke up, that’s why pati ang band. I don’t believe yet but I think it’s possible. But let us leave it and talk about their music instead. Orange and Lemons had been around for quite some time. Their 2^nd single became platinum (tama ba?) and created some hits. Now out with their 3^rd album Moonlane gardens and just released their 1^st single “Ang Katulad mong Walang Katulad” tapos na ang lahat para sa OnL.

I am not a fan but I don’t hate them either. What happened to our music biz… andaming nawala… wonder who’s next?

Letter from the ManagementOrange and Lemons Disbandmentas posted in the official ONL egroup

Orange and Lemons has disbanded. The band's parting of ways became official last September 29, 2007. The letter of disbandment was agreed upon and accepted by band manager Bong Baluyot of No Seat Affair! and the band Orange and Lemons.Signed by Mcoy, Clem, JM and Ace, the letter of disbandment stated "We finally decided to disband due to individual and musical differences with each other. This decision is collectively made and approved by all of us and thus, seek pre-termination of artist contract."The disbandment letter was accepted and approved by their record company - Universal Records- and they also released their official statement regarding this matter.Orange and Lemons' has come to a sudden end just when the song "Fade" is being played in some radio stations. "Fade" is the final single from the album Moonlane Gardens to be released by Universal Records.Orange and Lemons' latest and last album Moonlane Gardens is still available in all record stores nationwide.Mcoy, Clem, JM and Ace now have their own career plans and are hoping for their friends' continued support.To all the fans, friends and families of the band, we all thank you for all the support you have given us.

Bagong Sem

“Bagong liwanag…”

Another semester had passed and another yet to come. I got some chills down at my spine because of the possibility to take my Accounting 2. I dropped it last year and I didn’t take any summer because I need a break from all the hurt that my Accounting subject brought to me. I am not used of having low grades. It’s not being arrogant ha. No matter what, whether I like it or not, I need to go back to my Accounting 2 and hopefully this time I will learn a lot.

I will pray to all the saints just to be successful this time. It sounds absurd or desperate but I did something wrong so I must take some actions. I think I need some dose of Pupil to give some adrenalin rush. hahaha labo!! Ayos pala yung ma sad straight English… hahaha

GIG-GOLO

“Magsasaya ang lahat magsasayaw ang lahat…”

While I am writing this, I’m still in daze. Why? I watched Pupil’s gig at Robinson Manila. Mind you it’s not my first time to watch the gig of Pupil but it’s my first time to watch them perform their new songs from the album “Wild Life”. Last day of exams and what an excellent way to end my 1st sem is to watch a Pupil gig at Robinson Manila. I went alone to let me realize things about myself and surroundings (mag soul searching daw sa gig) Umalis ako sa bahay ng mga 2:40 p.m. atat ba? Hindi kasi I lied to my mom telling her that I’ll go back to school then go to Rob. The truth is I went straight to Rob. Nag LRT lang ako. Bumaba ako sa Pedro Gil. Galling pala ako sa Libertad. I’m not used to go to Robinson na commute because when my friends and I go there we usually ride on cab kasi mas tipid sa amin galling kami from school (Isko). Pero pag uwi LRT ko. Naligaw ako!! It took me almost 1 hour to find Robinson. Imagine nakaabot ako sa Leon Guinto St. malapit na sa school namin. Kung ano-ano na nadaanan ko. Like PGH, PCU, tapos yung mga clinic.

Atrium


Dumating sa point that I want to go back home than asking directions. Asking something is not really my thing (kahit sa school). I didn’t ask for directions but mag 4:00 na so I asked the girl vendor. Then she told me go straight ahead. And alas!! Nakita ko na yung UP. alam ko na kung papaano. Medyo mahaba pang lakaran. Siguro over-all naka 1km ako sa paglalakad. (baka hindi lang). Buying Pupil’s cd is the entrance to the gig. Then when I’m there I realized I left my “Wild Life” c.d. shit!! I don’t know if can still enter kung dinala ko man yung c.d. pero siguro mapag-uusapan naman. Naiinis talaga ako. Then nung nagkalakad ako when I looked at my left I saw Yan and Wendell. Not sure if Dok and Ely were also there. na star struck ako. Partida di pa face to face. I also realized that mas gwapo si Yan kaysa Yael (Crush ko si Yael ha. Then I saw the poster and it’s stated mga 5:00 pa. So went there somewhere. But when I saw that parami na ng parami ang tao sa gilid pumunta na ako. Matagal bago nag simula, pero kung tutuusin hindi masyado matagal kasi mga 5:30 something nagsimula medyo maaga lang talaga yung mga tao pumunta. So tagal naming naghintay pero the good thing is they were playing “Sala” my current LSS. Talagang in one day 10 times ko pinakikinggan yan. Pang patanggal asar yung pag play ng “Sala” for me. mga 20 times ata pinatutog. Yung nasa gilid ko asar na asar na. then enter the fab four.

Nung ini-introduce na from Wendel, dok, Yan then talagang nagging wild na nung si Ely na. so sinong nagsabing laso na si Ely? about the crowd half adults half teenagers. Parang mas marami nga adults eh. Yung adult mga ka age ni Ely siguro. Merong iba na they are watching, out of curiosity lang or because of Ely lang. but for me my intension is to hear Pupil live performing new songs from “Wild Life” album so parang plus na lang kung magkaroon ng chance to sign my album. What I also notice is Ms. Day and I don’t know kung sino yun, yung nagbebenta ng pupil pins, they are really supporting Pupil, by, for example playing songs talagang nag he-head bang sila. What I am trying to say is these guys are always with Pupil, so it means they are always watching them perform so ang gandang tignan na with that gig todo support sila.

Oh Romeo!!
Ely wowed the audience
Sumasabay sa bagong gupit!!

weeh!!

First song they performed was “Nasaan Ka” from Beautiful Machines. Parang warm up song. Then “Monobloc”. Maganda yung reception ng tao dun sa song because maybe of the title. It’s unique. Tapos si Dok “Sumasabay”. I like how Dok sings because he is singing with his eyes close. Feel na feel. Then si Yan naman with “Talon”. This is my favorite song of Yan sa lahat ng kinanta niya from 1st and 2nd album. Then “Disconnection Notice.” I really like this upbeat song. then Ely, while playing guitars is parang dancing by moving his shoulders. Astig. Then “Set Me Apart”. Medyo nawa si Ely sa chorus kasi ang lakas ng tunog ng guitars and drums pero nakabawi naman eh. Then last song na dapat kaso people was asking for more. Yan asked ely kung pwede pa. then they perform “Pare Ko” since matagal din daw kami naghintay and we stayed watching them. Nakakatindig ng balahibo talaga. They made “Pare Ko” as if it’s from Pupil. Kung di mo alam ang E-heads masasabi mong sa kanila talaga galling. Parang yung orig song nun is slow na pop ngayon rock na rock. Then sigawan din nung unang banat ng 1st line. Matagal ko na ding di siya naririnig kumanta nun. Then “Sala”. My favorite song pero mas maganda pa rin pag live.

I enjoyed the gig because each member has their own style. Wendell, the drummer is all out playing his drums that the hi-hat, cymbals etc. ay muntik ng matanggal. Partida diba medyo acoustic ang binabanatan niya. Then si Dok, cool and papikit pikit style. Si yan yung nag li-lead meaning leading people what to do. Like put your hands in the air while clapping, pumunta sa harapan etc. tsaka joke time. Natawa ako nung kinamusta niya yung nasa taas tapos baka puro puyo na lang yung nakikita nila. Then si Ely steady na tahimik pero rock and roll. Serious din. Pero ang astig ng pag perform niya. Yung pupil steady lang pero todo rock and roll.

Now I therefore conclude that Pupil is one of the best bands in the Philippines. At hindi pa at never ma lalaos si Ely.

Last Song Syndrome for this year

“Coz’ the last song syndrome here, Is your voice I hear…”

Ito yung mga songs na nalagay sa lss for the month ko or basta na adik ako ng sobra...

~~+Sundo by Imago sa media player ko 6 ang play count niya pero di pa kasama yung count sa mp3 ko plus yung pagkanta ko pa nito. I am really glad Imago made another ballad like this. I hope they lesser the “Tara Let’s” kind of song, although it’s also good but Imago is known and best in nice lyrics and ballad kind of music.

~~+Rebound by Silent Sanctuary may 10 play count siya and the same thing sa sundo and other songs will follow hindi kasama yung sa mp3, cds… for me sa album ito yung best song nila. I like how they incorporate their fondness of playing basketball to a song about a relationship.

~~+Call Center by Cambio they are back!! May 6 play count. I heard na may bad comments about the song. kasi parang sa song pinag tyatyagaan niya lang magtrabaho dun sa call center… pero ayos to!!

~~+Lss by Stonefree ito yung pinakagusto kong kanta from them. I think maganda yung album nilang delorean from the first one. May 13 play count

~~+So Blue by SinoSikat? I’m really glad I learned about their music. I am not into soul but yung goal ni Kat is to bring the soul out of every one and eventually na capture niya yung sa akin. ang astig niya for doing that and for knowing that konti lang ang may gusto sa soul…11 play count

~~+Sala by Pupil may 12 play count na siya and napaka fresh niya palang sa media player ko. Talagang ito yung song na sa isang araw mga more than 5 times ko pinapakinggan sa mp3, cd, media player… minsan nga parang naiirita ako sa sarili ko kasi paulit ulit kong pinakikinggan pero gustong gusto ko naman. Talagang tinatapos ko unlike other songs na pinipindot ko agad yung next. Parang may gayuma ata yung song…

~~+ Stolen by Dashboard Confessional “they have stolen my heart…” may time din na pinakinggan namin ni Laisa to sa mga isang araw more than 7 times. Papalit palit yung solo tapos yung may babae na back up…

~~+Safety in Numbers by Urbandub ang ganda ng kwento ng song. kasi they are far away from each other. He kept telling to himself that waiting was fine pero in his heart every hour hurts except the last one kills. Ang astig ni Gabby Alipe sa song writing. I just realized that pwede siyang pumantay sa galling ni Ely Buendia sa song writing or Ebe Dancel and Rico Blanco.

~~+Signal Fire by Snow Patrol I have one word Astig!!

~~+Pilit by Hilera I never thought they could sing this kind of song. Flexibility is one characteristic they have in order to stay longer and be more successful. 11 play count…

~~+ Potential LSS siguro pag pwede ko ng i-let go ang Sala Disconnection Notice naman still by Pupil. Dumudikit sa utak yung lyrics, tono… dapat lang kasi konti lang yung lyrics at paulit ulit yung “Disco-nnection No-tice…” ang astig… may 4 play count na…

Oops… Pacquiao and Meralco did it again!

Oct. 7 (Sunday)

“Tagumpay… Alab ng puso sinuma’y di sususko. Tagumpay"It’s Pacman vs. Barera!! But before that I went to our Parish priest’s son. O.k. wait before thinking anything, he has adopted son. So we just ate there. Then Boxing na. Then yung highlight na ng event is of course Packman vs. Barerea. So someone from Mexico sang their national anthem first. Pasaway si Packman nakaupo sabi nga tumayo eh. Then when Kyla will sing the anthem, nawalan ng kuryente. Sheesh!!! My father really got frustrated not able to watch or hear Kyla sings. Yung fight, ok lang because we all know that pangpatagal ang commercials. My father also said baka pakana ng ABS CBN, because Meralco is somehow related to ABS CBN’s owner. But wait I want to put “Lupang Hinirang” lyrics. You all know about the controversy about this song. nakaka pressure pala itong kantahin. Ito lang yung song na pagnagkamali ka pwede kang makulong. Gosh!!

Bayang magiliw

Perlas ng silanganan

Alab ng puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay

Lupang Hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting

Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil

Sa dagat at bundok na simoy

At sa langit mong bughaw

May dilag ng watawat mo'y

Tagumpay na nagnininging

Ang bituin at araw niyan

Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim

Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta

Buhay ay langit sa piling mo

Aming ligaya nang pag may mang-aapi

Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo

Anyways nung nagkaroon na ng kuryente I think mga more than 30 minutes yun, round 2 pa lang. astig!! Ang tagal ng commercials. Hindi masyadong maganda yung laban unlike packman’s previous fights. Hindi masyado nagkakatamaan. Then when everything is said and done… Pacquiao did it again. Tumigil nanaman ang galaw sa Pilipinas for about 3 hours (halos 30 minutes lang yung laban pero yung fight took 3 hours). Congrats!! Pacquiao did it again as well as Meralco!!

Bagong Liwanag

Album Title: Bagong Liwanag
Album Artist: Rivermaya
Content: 5 tracks
Price: 290 bucks at Tower Records (but at some record bars I heard it’s less than 200 bucks)

Review:This is the album after the recent demise of their vocalist Rico Blanco who is also the song writer for the band. What I could say is the theme for the song is Rico, how they cope about what happened and about next chapter to the life of Rivermaya. “Sayang”, is the open letter for the fan. It talks about what they feel what they do after all and tell us what we suppose to do. Although the song says that “Sayang ang luha” for me it has a dipper meaning and its saying si Rico. Why? Sa last part puro Sayang lang ang maririnig mo. “Sayang” is quite sad but kind of uplifting (lalo na kapag fan ka talaga ng band). “Banda ng Bayan” is a song about musicians, reality, enjoying and making music. I like this song because they inject some of their previous hits like “Elisi”, “Isang Bandila”, “Kung Ayaw Mo Huwag Mo”, and “Panahon Nanaman”. I also like kung pano nag blending sina Mark and Mike with the voice of Japs. Then “Olats” is a slang term for talo. Mark wrote this song. I think it’s about the previous vocalists. With this line “kawawa na naman tayo. Ganyan talaga Talo na naman tayo kahit binuhos ko ang lahat talo nanaman tayo” for me kaya talo nanaman tayo because it seems like they are going back to the start. Rico is the heart and soul of the band. No wonder it is such an enormous lost for the band. “Sumigaw” is now Studio 23’s Station I.D. may line dun na “Sumigaw tumingin kung saan ka nanggaling …” for me parang may connection parin si Rico. It’s kind of clear isn’t it? then the last song is “Nawawala” it’s my least favorite song from the album. Mike is the voice behind that song. and parang hindi ata na edit yung voice. Parang playa sa mga notes.
Well, this album is not that great if you compared to their previous album with Rico. I think it’s because parang they came up with an EP para magparamdam sa fans na nandito pa rin sila. Yung mga songs ay parang mag kaka connect lang sa isa’t isa. But a thumbs up for Japs, Mike and lalo na kay Mark na never pa atang kumanta sa album.

Who will like it?The fans who stayed and still willing to support Rivermaya after the demise of their vocalist.

Best among the rest“Banda ng Bayan” for injecting Rivermaya’s old hits and “Sayang”.

Album Sleeve:
It’s ok. Pinaka iba sa mga recent albums nila dahil dati halos puro sila yung nasa cover.

Rating:
2 and a half rock stars!!

Magtapon ay di biro

"Tama ka, walang saysay kung itutuloy pa”


I can’t understand why we Filipinos, even if someone will tell us like 1000 times that we shouldn’t throw our trash anywhere it seems we can’t throw at the right place. I’m sick seeing people throwing trash anywhere and everywhere. If only I have the guts to tell them. When I ride on a jeepney and be able to watch people, I always catch a person throwing trash. The day is not complete without someone throwing his/her trash. Are they not there when landslides, flashfloods happened? Are they not yet contented to the effects that happened? Are they still wanting for more? I think even all of their family members will die it wouldn’t still help them to avoid throwing trash. I know it’s kind of rude but what if that’s the only answer?

looks impossible but just ordinary to us

I think I have the right to tell to not throw garbage or trash anywhere because I don’t. If you will look at my pocket or bag after class you will see trash, candy wrappers. I’m so disappointed when one time I saw my professor throwing her candy wrapper somewhere. She is the one who let us hear an asin song called “tignan mo ang kapaligiran” (not sure with the title). She also tell us about what are surrounding looks like a long time ago, the effects of garbage and everything about environment. It frustrates me.

ito yung itsura ng trash can just in case di pa kayo nakakakita

Maybe when I caught somebody and ask why he or she throws his or her trash I think she/he doesn’t know why he or she is doing it. It is like a hobby or worse mannerisms. I myself when I was a child I was throwing trash anywhere. I throw trash anywhere because
1) I saw adults throw trash
2) The adult told to me to throw it anywhere
3) I don’t think of the effect it would bring

What you could do if you have trash at your hand
1) search for a trash can
2) if no trash can is available keep it
3) then throw it when you already find one

When is the time (or will it happen?) that we Filipinos (I concentrate to Filipinos because we should start first at our own country) will be aware or conscious about the effects of throwing trash anywhere. I will try to borrow some line of the motto of Pondo ng Pinoy “Kahit maliit, basta malimit, patungong langit”. I want you to remember “Kahit maliit, basta malimit, baha ang kapalit”.

Tryin' to change

“I see my sigh going up to heave in a sky Full of shattered hopes and bleeding dreams”

As I read my post I think I don’t have those great journal entries. I will try at least to impart something that will be slightly useful. I want to talk about not just music but a little of politics (if my mind permits), environment, showbiz, business world etc. and I will still talk about my daily thoughts if I have. Ok so let’s try to do it now.

…..
……
……

Wa epek!! Hehehe… I will post na lang my project for theology about my presemt milieu. I got 94% for this while some got only 80 ++. Hahaha yabang!!

Here’s the present milieu of me and my surroundings. This is how I look the environment, people at our surroundings and even in religious matters. In environment, we all know that we are experiencing global warming. Lots of animals became extinct because of nowhere to live. Illegal loggers are everywhere and they are there to cut all trees that they could see. We are experiencing drought because of lack of rain. Then when it rains we are experiencing abundance of water in form of flood. A long time ago my parents and my grandparents always tell to me how beautiful and simple life was. Fresh air was there, fresh food, everything is so nutritious. But now, when all that fast food chains dominated it seems we can’t get enough of it. Another is the price. My grandparents always make us jealous by telling stories about how cheap a commodity was. How lucky they are, I said to myself. Now we’re here in the 21st century where under the control of technology. I have a fear that when the time comes the computers or robots are the one controlling us. Now I am kind of aware about what’s happening in my environment. I do simple things to take care Mother Earth. I remember myself throwing trash everywhere. How shameful that act was. I turn off machines, computers, lights etc. when I will not use that. I also try to teach my little brothers’ simple act. All things can start in simple and small things.

About the person surrounds me, I think now they are more liberated and opinionated. Some are not contented in what they have. They always want the new one or what they see to other people. But I think the number of people who are doing something different and good to our country increased. Like there are a lot of foundations, organizations that assist less fortunate or anyone that needed help. With that it’s kind of inspires me to do something that I can impart to people who needed my help. I want to make a difference. As what my professor said is we are like an iceberg 2% is only showing. It’s sad because God gave us this life then we will only show only 2% of it. That’s why I need to get out of my seat and start and think something because is not yet too late. I now I can formulate something out of my mind. A woman in another hand continues to convey to the world that we’re not just ordinary human beings. We can do something to make a difference. What I see in students is they strive hard in order to graduate or to attain success. They really use a lot of time study; make assignments but what good is they also have time with themselves, family and friends. That’s what I’m doing. I have goals in life. So I need to create a plan or the things what to do in order to achieve success. Sometimes I fail but it doesn’t mean I can’t stand up. I think again and reflect what I did. Then stand up and go again with what I planned.

In religious matter we follow what the Church they believe in then we will believe the same. I think that people nowadays are more into praying. Like when President Arroyo said that we should pray to ask for rain we followed her then we prayed to God. Then after a few days typhoons seems can’t get enough of our country. One typhoon is followed by another one then another again. It only shows that God really bestow us when He think we really needed it. That’s the power of prayer. I always pray. Prayer is really magical. You should also think of what you pray for. I remember that I prayed for something but regret it afterwards when my wish was granted.

Arriba San Beda!!

“I-shoot mo i-shoot mo i-shoot mo na ang ball, i-shoot mo na ang ball ang sarap mag basketball”

Nakapanood lang ako kahapon sa t.v. well, di ko naman siya masyado tinutukan. Unlike the lasalle-Ateneo game na wala naman akong kilalaman sa mga schools nay an, yung San Beda ay sisiter school ng aking school. ang Patron saint nila ay si St. Benedict at ang amin naman ay si St. Scholastica mag kapatid sila. Hindi lang simpleng magkapatid, twins sila. Sila dapat ang tawaging super twins. Dahil pareho nga silang saints. Astig!!! Nanalo nga pala Beda. Walal lang…

Animo La Salle

“ayaw ko ng mamoblema. ayaw ko ng mag isip gusto ko lang mag basketbol… basketbol tayo”

I am neither a Lasalita nor an Atenista but I am a Kulasa. I watched the LaSalle vs. Ateneo game where the latter lose. Only one point is the difference. I don’t know what got me watching their game. I am not a basketball fan, and not from those schools. Well, my school is near to LaSalle and most of musicians are from Ateneo. LABO!! hehe Maybe because last Monday I listened to the double trouble at NU 107. and we all know na matindi ang kompetisyon ng dalawang school na ito.
Well it’s not strange if I will like watching basketball now. I remember when I was a child my big brother and me always plays this NBA basketball cards. This cards is similar to the Pokemon cards where there’s a picture. Then the points, rebounds etc. where put on that card tapos parang pataasan. I don’t know if my brother only made it up. I also remember that I played basketball with him. No choice siya eh. At that time we are not allowed to play outside so ako lang talaga makakalaro niya. Then when PBA is so popular my family watches that always. I think telenovelas, koreanovelas, chinovelas are not that popular pa. I remember to like Ginebra. I don’t know why. And I have a crush on Marlou Aquino (Tama ba?) basta yung may parang goggles. Well now I have this crush to Chris Tiu of Ateneo Blue Eagles. I could say mas gwapo ang mga Atenista kaysa Lasalista.
Now I also watch this cartoon “Slum dunk”(well I watched that before kaso nakalimutan ko na istorya) because the characters are funny and also the story. It’s a story about how Hanamitsi Sakuragi learn to play basketball.
Ngayon nagsisisi ako kung bakit hindi ako nakapag try sa LaSalle. I want to be part of the crowd. It’s funny I need to watch a game of our school against benilde to cheer to our school but I will not attend. I should study on a university or a co-ed college. Bwiset!!
Animo!! LaSalle although I don’t know what does it means.

Ang Pag-ibig Alinsunod sa Pakete ng Tide Ultra

Ni Gilbert M. Sape
Sabi ko
Ayaw kong maglaba
Hindi ko alam kung bakit
Siguro’y ayaw kung makitang
Nakasungaw ang bituin sa ulap
At pinapanood ang bawat kong kusot
Pero hindi kagabi
Ang totoo naglaba ako
Sinamantala ko ang pangungulimlim
Ng bituin sa nangingilid na lupa
At natitiyak ko maputi ang aking nilabhan
Sinunod ko yata ang bawat instruksyon
Sa likod ng pakete ng Tide Ultra

1) Kunin sa timba ang damdamin
Matagal nang binabad

2) Kusotin ng mabuti
Pabulain pabulain upang matiyak na
Ang mga salitang noon pa sana sinabi
3) At dahil nahuli na sa sikat ng araw
Na siyang pagkukulahan,
Lagyan na lamang ng Clorox
Upang kumupas at walang Makikita
Sa mantsa ni Eros
4) banlawan
maraming banlaw
at tiyaking maisama sa tubig
ang mga sentinmiyento at paghihinayang
5) ibuhos sa kanal ang tubig
upang makapagtago sa burak
ang mga pagsinta
6) isampay sa mahanging lugar
ang nilabhang damdamin
pabayaan itong makahinga
matagal na rin namang
naikubli sa baul

pagmumuni pagkakatapos…
napigaan ko na ang damit mariin
nakalimutan ko nga lamang
pigaan ang tubig sa aking mata
paalam muna
samantala’y magpatuyo muna ako
ng damit
ng mata
sana’y walang makakita
salamat sa pakete ng tide ultra

Street foods ala pobre

"Hindi mapakali magdamag hinahanap nababaliw tuwing naalala ang init. Hindi malimutan kailangan muling makamit ang tamis sa aking mga labi"

It’s really true that “masarap ang bawal”. I am not really allowed to eat street foods. But of course I am not that obedient. I love street foods such as isaw, fish ball, adidas,

fishy fish ball

chicharong bulaklak to name a few. Last Sunday I went to church for my church involvement. Then after that I saw a fish ball vendor. My saliva started to drop. When I am grade school I remember that I seldom buy fish ball. Why seldom because I am also scared to have a disease such as hepatitis, gastroenteritis, diabetis (hehehe joke). My little brother got hepatitis when he is about 5 years old when he ate something. I also remember what the fish ball vendor looks way back in grade school. And I saw him when I bought fish ball last Sunday. Ang sarap grabeh. But really, while eating that it’s like I could see the bacteria at the sauce. They say that what are really dangerous in eating fish ball is the sauce and the oil. I got gross at time on what the fish ball or any street food looks like but what I can’t do anything it’s delicious.

Isaw pa nga

I’m still hungry I asked my little brother to eat isaw. Then we buy chicharong bulakalak. The most delicious bulaklak of all the bulaklaks. Sarap. Then after that I prayed that I will not get hepatitis.



steak ala pobre. definitely not for pobre

Gang of good

“Good boy good boy ang bait mo naman sana kunin kana ni Lord” I am now awake by the slap of truth on my face. I am living a life that it’s not hard to live, that’s full of mystery and most of all full of problems. With 17 years of living here in earth I start thinking if what I did. Did I do something good with others? Maybe slightly yes maybe slightly no. I look up to those people who work hard for others. I know a lot. Some know me but a lot don’t know me. Example is from my church org (actually temporary lang because it’s for school purposes only) Sis Lina. She is from Caritas foundation. She looks and behaves “mataray”, “masungit”. At first I can’t understand why she is like that but I learned her struggles, and how she helps other people that sometimes or maybe all of the time she is not earning from what she is doing. She is a volunteer so it means she doesn’t get anything. She only gets something when someone gives money to her. Anyways, nandyan din si Gang Badoy of Rock Ed. I think she loves rock and she wants to share her knowledge and what a brilliant idea, she came up with the idea the Rock Ed which her 2 favorite things combine with each other. Ang dami pa. alam ko. Yung iba anonymous. I said to myself I wanted to be like them. Female who rocks. Female who rock the world. kailan kaya makikita ang ngalan ng katulad sa akin na nasa balita dahil may nagawang maganda sa kapwa?

Trying Trinoma

“Trip mo trip ko kahit san ka pa patungo. Trip ko Trip mo walang iwanan wala ding tatalo trip mo bang sumama sa paglalakbay?”

It’s PAASCU Accreditation. So what I, Anj and Lisa did was we went to the newly opened Trinoma somewhere at Quezon near SM North Edsa. Eh we are from Manila, Malate to be exact(yung school). Actually nag cutting classes lang kami (pls. don't try this at home it's dangerous) because we suppose to report kaso di nagawa ni Lisa so takas kami. Anyways, all of us haven’t gone to Trinoma so we don’t know how to go there. We agreed on riding a taxi because it’s convenient. The taxi driver said it’s more convenient to ride in the MRT than riding on a taxi because it will cause a lot. So we agreed with him then he accompanied us to Ayala Ave.

MRT

Near Glorietta to ride MRT there. while inside we talk about people we can’t talk about when we are inside the school. Bad ba? Anyways, I noticed that yung metro ay ang bilis ng andar. Then when we are at the MRT we realized that we should just go to Buendia MRT Station. Mas convenient and cheap. I think we can just ride a jeep. Stupid us. Anyways hati hati naman kami eh. So 20 buck each. When we’re at the MRT, I learned that it’s the first time Lisa will ride on a MRT. While me and Angela, it’s not the first time but we seldom ride on it. so we’re like a probinsyana. ASTIg… tapos inside kwentuhan… like when we see billboards we will go like “Ay nagpa retoke yan”, “Ay bakla yan” hahaha… ang saya. We bonded talaga. When we’re at Trinoma already we roam around. Actually we have really light reason why we went trinoma, because in Jolibee there’s a sofa. Hahaha. but we found out that it’s not what we really think of. Then we just look to something to eat. We went to Tacobell. I ordered tacos. Delicious. Then lisa is funny because she already ordered potatoes and cheese but she is still hungry so we went to Sbarro and she ordered pasta and chiken with garlic bread. Me and Anj just laughing at her because what she ordered fits for 3 persons. Lisa is just so hungry. Well, she didn’t finished it. pinabalot niya. Then nag ikot ikot. I don’t know if it’s true but they say that there’s a couple of guy that get starstrucked at me. they stared at me. hahah funny. Then we watch a movie “Nancy Drew”. Well it’s ok but I think the book is better than the movie. Then Anj and me and Lisa went separate ways. Anj is from Bulacan so she has her own route while me and Lisa is somewhat the same. We should ride on a MRT again. When we’re at the booth to buy tickets hindi pwede kasi store value lang kailangan daw ay pumunta sa foot bridge. Because we don’t know bout the place mali pala yung ginawa namin. Ang layo ng nilakaran namin. Stupid us my tawiran pala. Then we used the stairs yung sa MMDA yung pink. Eh butas butas yun di ba? Eh it’s Thursday naka palda kami. Tawa kami ng tawa kasi baka makitaan kami. Laugh trip. This trip is a lot of fun. SAYA!!
Well to sum it up trinoma is just like Glorietta so it’s like Glorietta of Quezon City. Bakit pa magpapakalayo eh meron naman sa Makati?

Matic

Album Title: Cambio Matic

Label: MCA PhilippinesAlbum Artist: Cambio
Content: 13 tracks

Price: 250 bucks at Landmark record bar and 280 peso at Music 1 and Tower Records.

Review:

Before anything else Cambio is compose of Kris Dancel on vocals, Ebe Dancel on guitars and back-up vocals, Buddy Zabala on Bass, Diego Mapa on guitars and Raymund Marasigan on drums. So this is like an all star album and band. Anyways I already tell something about them so about their album their songs ay may pagka pop, alternative . at up beat. Kris’ voice is so youthful, ganda ng voice niya. Most of their songs are how they see or describe some people like “Shopaholica” it’s being shopaholic. Nakakatawa yung line na “But wait, there’s more call now and get the whole strore”. Another is “Rumaparampa” it’s like being fashionista.. “Pasaway” is a medyo slow song na about being pasaway and “Bulimic” is about people who really wanted to be very thin very applicable to Nicole Richie and Mary Kate and Ashley sisters. I like the line “Huwag kang magtataka ako’y nasusuka Wag kang maiinis di ako buntis”. “Call Center” is for me most beautiful song from their album. I really love that song. They have “Sakanasabi” which is not a Filipino song I don’t know what dialect is that pero I like the melody of the song. I like that even if di ko masyado maintindihan. What I like about their songs ay they are funny and nag rhyme. I love rhyming words. They open everything with “Admit One Thing” which I think is about the place Admit One. They have “Field Trip” na about long lost friends that you wanted to see. They end everything with an upbeat song “Passengers”.

Who will like it?

What’s good with this album is they fit for everybody. Boys, girls, adult, kid, they can relate with their songs

Best among the rest:

Definitely “Call Center” must hear din ang “Pasaway”, “Rumarampa”, and “Bulimic”.

Album sleeve:
Ok yung album sleeve which I think parang yung album nila yung color kasi parang flesh which is the color of our skin. So parang about people. Tsaka yung cover is soft to the eyes at simple lang so parang yung songs nga nila.

Rating:
7 rock stars!!

It's A- after all

“Imposible ayan tuloy hindi ako makatulog. Shit! panaginp ba ito. Imposible ni re-replay lahat ng slomo sa isip ko”

Yahoo!! I need to celebrate. Would you believe it I got A minus for not just ordinary subject. It’s Finance as in Math subject. If you don’t know why I am so happy because last year I had problems with my accounting subject that it end in dropping it. I am so happy after all that happened, happens and still happening I got A minus after all. In other subjects, in Economics I got B – but it’s tentative because our teacher got messed up with our exams. Then in Literature I’m C+ only because I missed one test and I over heard my teachers instruction at the paper that she wanted us to do. Sa P.E. B+. ok na yun because I missed my Bowling mid term exam pero I got B + pa din. In other subjects di pa sinasabi because they still computing. Babawi ako para maging dean’s lister (ASA!) hehehe!!
