a supposed bad day.

well, it all started because of my fucking playstation. since my sister was bugging me for about a month now about fixing it, i made a move awhile ago to have it done. a xmas gift of some sort.

also, set an early dinner for me and . kit was supposed to be with us but he changed his mind. ask abhie about it. (chonamae: DAH!)

so here's the bad part. i hadnt had any sleep coz rico went to our house at around 6am coz he has to go back to his office at 8. so i just watched about a boy. (i love the movie. britishly funny) and mang nonie, the ps fixer, had it "fixed" at around 11am. only to find out that my ps cds arent around. not even a single one. and i paid 1,200 fucking bucks for just the bearings. i had 77 missed calls to aj coz he got all of my cds, and thank god for she has some. i tested it and it did not work. fuck. lens has to be replaced. costs almost 3000 bucks. i shouldve bought a new one.

ivan, abi and me went to ice monster just for me to obsess about my bad day (and bad texts) just for us to be disturbed and annoyed by j lo's lets get loud. so we walked, had smoke and went to bj's. had my "sample platter" of 5 quail eggs and 8 squid balls, mineral water and 1 pack of ivan's marlboro lights. yan ang dinner.

8 pm. ivan has to go to the office and abhie brought me into one of pedro gil's finest places. ukay ukay. ive got a red damn good sweater, a preppy sleeveless (which is her xmas gift for me) and i bought che a maroon blouse. tangina. ang saya. then we decided to go to burgundy. there we had our real dinner. seafood ala king, beef stew, lechon, buko pandan, fish fillet and slices of meat caldereta. yum. *burp* until...





we met lui. what a friggin coincidence. we talked over two green teas, a coffee jelly and one pack of winston lights. sobrang saya. binawi ang badtrip ko sa playstation.

a zoo date.

well, i was about to go to che's office earlier coz teena and josh wasnt home, then i saw gabby with her lola. so i hailed a cab and hurried them so there would be no discussions that could open. we just spent the whole afternoon together and oh my back hurts so much. but it was a lot of fun.

12.20.2004

babysitter.

yesterday, i attended a wedding for the first time in my life. since i didnt have any friends who had a church wedding yet, (or there was one but i wasnt invited. no one was invited by the way.) this is the first one that i forced myself into going on a church with that kind of ceremony and there was a special reason. it was the wedding of michael (older brother of che) and sheila. che was the maid of honor and gabby was one of the flower fairies. gabby was of course one of the most annoying fairies you'll meet. she doesnt wanna stay inside the church (and WE have the same reason), its so boring. and sappy. well, if ever there is a more special reason behind it, or i am close to the couple, that maybe i can attend and relate to. full-heartedly. so i just chased her around like a yaya, with gel, tucked-in polo, slacks and black leather shoes. (see? im not into this kind of occasions.) but it was really cute though. we both know that mike was really the hard working type, and sheila was the really conservative one. its like a couple from the 50's. everybody knows that they are really for each other. i mean, they're 10-year relationship is not a joke.

today, since im bored and it's sunday, james just wanted for us to gather and drink. im with che's cousins, noc, jun and aries, with onin, and with james. bf of che's sister. it was really fun seeing them again. kaso ambilis malasing. kakaaliw. we ended at 4am.

12.18.2004

christmas na raw.

nakasabit na ang xmas light samin. yehey.

and i had a really hard time gluegunning the lights on the border of our window and door. josh helped me with the leafy thing when it started to fall off. sabi nga ni dianne, .."ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang hirap ng pagkakabit ng christmas lights. hinahangaan ko na ang mga taong nagkakabit nito.." *sniff* yan ang mga realization. thanks dianne. my christmas wont be the same without you.

josh and i watched how to lose a guy within 10 days. di nako nakapagsimbang gabi sa sobrang antok.

: marami talagang salamat sa pagtulong sa lj-cut na yan. matagal kong binuno at salamat sa pagsagot. btw, i love the barbie pornstar episode mo.

minamadali nako ni che. hafta go to a christmas party. and later, im with kit and abhie coz its abhie's last friday in manila (for this year).

12.16.2004

blah.

cant i just finish the freakin pictures?

we tried burning it on a cd so we can browse it using the dvd player. thought it was saved as the normal jpeg file, but like the normal days i have, it wasnt. im so pissed off since i locked my digicam away to neverland.

my mom yelled at me like the normal high school wake up calls coz i peed on her plant. i know i know, it was so disgusting, but hey, im drunk. dont blame me. blame the alcohol. (oh dear, ive been drinking since friday night of last week.)

shitty day. guess im back to normal.

the birthday aftershocks.

well. the next day after saturday (which is obviously a sunday), i slept the whole day. and then, i dunno what day it was when i started editing the birthday pics. so i went using adobe, then when i was about to add the last picture then the computer crashed. so we tried burning it in a cd then it did not work. it was such a lovely day.

first greeters:
text - josh
personal - dianne and ron
landline - abhie (which is her birthday as well)

just wanna thank sum people.

teena, vanni, dianne - for helping me cook the 500 siomais we have to endure.
teena - for the spongebob cell protector
dianne - for the two packs of jellyace and going to rob for the lemons
josh - for the 3 packs of winston lights
abhie - for the the tequila that made the night weirdly exciting
bongski - for calling twice staright from finland. parang celebrity huh. may phone patch pa.

and to light. who gave me a hate poem and claimed that he did not hate me. which is a bit ironic. kiddo, lets stop ruining our remaining days. mag-isip tayong mabuti kung nakakatuwa pa ba ang mga pwede nating sabihin sa isat isa.

people who came:
[info]beach_bitch, [info]junkedstar, [info]candymaker, [info]_sillyrabbit_, kit, rico, john, vanni, teena, josh, jay-ar, al, mheann. carl, isang, bert, mac, marvin, hart, bryan, gene, and my two girls, gabby and che.

details? nah. guess i forgot some of the details after 1am. pics will be posted hopefully later.


------------------------------------------
fpj died. i mourn coz he has helped the industry before. no comment of him being a politician. and i mourn more coz he's only human. like all of us. and he has a lot of friends and family members that sorrows. rip.
------------------------------------------
finished watching the last season of friends. man, i cried when everyone was leaving their apartment keys. just wondered, all of my favorite series ended this year. sex and the city, friends, *sigh* good things should not last.
------------------------------------------
watched kitchie, imago and barbies cradle awhile ago. sumwhere in glorietta. i was with josh and he enjoyed it thank god. i forced him to come with us coz teena had a tutor appointment. aia... \m/... walang tatalo sa yo gerl.

12.11.2004

wohoo..

today, is officially my birthday. have'nt slept yet (coz i have a different time zone, remember?) everybody's 7am wake up call rings at around my 3pm. eerybody sleeps at around 10 pm and me at around 6am. earliest is 4.

oh.. and.. Abhie!!!!

our barkada might have our tonight, and tomorrow night. it cant be possible to have the inuman inside our house since its still messy and stuff, we might look for another place. whatever.

my wish: lets mind our own lives. and not others. i wish everyone must be sensitive, when to and when not to do stuff, and lets get fucking rich without stepping on anyone's toes. be broke but happy, coz money is everybody's problem, and anyone can get it if they want to. lets still learn how to dream, since it's the only free thing in this world (except in japan coz you have to pay for their dream maker), and lets love each other. i know it sounds sappy and fuckingly cheesy, but hey, if we know how to be easy with each other, no suicidal will exist. well, probably.

material things, i still want an ipod. i dont know why. i wanna have a 100 gig pc, cable internet without its bills, every color of converse chucks, fossil watches (this is plural), good read books, playstation 2 (since my girl is on a tight budget, but the dvd player is waaaaayy good), transparent electric violin and guitar, boss amplifier and a dog.

so if anyone got a gift like those above, feel free to text me and i'll give you my special siomai, for free.

thanks sa lahat ng bumati. im lucky enough to have friends like you.

[none]

for the advanced greetings.. thanks.

weird. keiko can greet me advanced coz we dont see each other anymore, but ron and light?? at bakit kayo nangbabati agad eh 2 days pa? magpapakita kayo huh. hmpf.

watched taking lives in dvd. abhie and kit was right. the movie was good. i let them spoil the ending, so im not sure now if im biased with my review. in a suspense thriller, it has been overused that the "psycho killer" usually is the one nearest the protagonist. movie will lead you to the most obvious suspect then bam.. the thought oh-my-god-the-killer-was-with-her-all-the while comes into ur mind. formulated.. 1960's pscycho flick? wes craven's scream? but to my surprise, i liked the ending.

to angelina jolie, can i just uh... make love with you? that lady is so fuckingly hot.

i am full. had 2 slices of black olives/anchovy pizza (sounds so yucky) and 2 slices of garlic/shrimp pizza. red mountain dew and a bad spaghetti with meatballs. yellow cab. tip lang: dont EVER buy the spaghetti with meatball if you're the saucy type. ew.

i am gonna skip dinner, i dont wanna go to my aunt's house hungry. baka pag nagkakain ako dun, sitahin na naman ako. since when did i have an eating disorder? i dont binge, goddamit. i just have high sugar intake. i like sweets. who could blame me? there's strawberry ice cream, chocolate eclair, strawberry soda, peppermint mocha frappuccino, and whoa, those are just idea-impulses. wala pa yung pinag-isipan talaga.

i had 7 missed calls and 12 messages last night, just watching dvds again and put my phone to "TahimikAngMundo" mode. from now on, im not gonna let anyone interfere my movie times. hmf.

making an acoustic band.

following necessities for a band to make it on their own.



A - 2 acoustic guitars. so u can practice anytime in your living room without banging the neighbor with amplifiers. tipid pa sa studio. sa studio na ang polishing.

B - lyric and tab sheets. the internet has been so friendly and generous to aspirants.

C - blank papers and a pen. since some tabs are not that reliable, try doing your own style.

D - guitar picks. no explanation needed. be sure not to forget it so here's a tip. put a hole on it then attach it to your home keys. if u forget your pick, you cant come in your house. nice.

E - yosi and lighter. a must. the object that keeps our sanity. besides mountain dew.

F - egg shaker. adds up the beat. if u have an improvised monkey (a box you can drum around. consists a bass and the snare sound.), a much better fdeal.

G - ash tray. if you do not have any, try improvising like an old used ice tray. ash tray, ice tray, sounds alike. :)

H - mini discs and player. - portable recordable gadget u can bring around just in case someone in the band forgets what the real sound of a certain song sounds like.

I - mobile phone (preferably a camera phone) - so late band members cant lie by sending an mms of where they really are.

J - digicam - so u can play around and be triggerhappy, not missing the unforgettable embarassing togetherness of each other. (some clients needs a good picture of the band. this is the astig-est cheapskate way.)

K - blank cd-r. so u can search for some songs instead of buying an original 450 cd if u wanna cover. u can also record on a voice recorder mp3 player and remind yourself of how silly and out of tune u were by burning it. that is, if ur a techy and well-equipped grungy.

rock on!

sabay bawi.

my girl cant wait to show her birthday gift for me.
a brand new dvd player and the complete season 5 and 6 of sex and the city.
tsk. she really does know how to get me back. *sigh*
/me playing hard to get

so i had the "advanced" birthday gift and had a test drive on it last night, tried to finish 6 dvds, had seafood cup noodle a pitcher of water, 18 missed calls, 4 messages, and 7 hours floated away. just me and the girls.

my "mommy" (she was the eldest sister of my dad), came home last week from germany and intrigued me with a 10am december 8 talk at mandaluyong (my other aunt's house.) i woke up at around 11 so patay patay nako. arrived there at 12, expecting it's about my so called not normal life, but, fortunately (or un), she wanted to talk about my next year trimester. preferably CSB and i should get the course that i want. oh they cant live without me having a diploma. until...

she was really angry with me being "slightly" overweight (like do i really have to tell this on public?)

she compared me to my "hunky" cousin:

cousin:
- attends yoga classes
- black i-dunno-what-type-of-karate belter
- religiously goes to the gym
- went to military school for 2 years
- scuba dives
- speaks french, greek, german, spanish and latin
- a freak
- an airhead
- an arrogant asshole

me:
- a bitter suicidal loser
- and very much happy. thank you.

geez. so she wanted me to go to the gym right away, stop smoking, and moisturize. yep. you heard me right. she wants me.. so bad.. to moisturize.

have they forgotten im a guy? or my skin is too dry?

disclaimer:
two words.
i moisturize.
hmpf.

mis na namin si bongski.

one bad day.

december 2: we had our gig at green valley bowling and billiards. valle verde 1, pasig. at kasabay ng bagyong yoyong, kami'y basa habang ako'y nilalagnat, inuubo, sinisipon at malat. i already had 6 packs os strepsils and 2 packs of streptuss. (damn. i forgot about jal's difflam.) call time is 3 pm, (i wonder why kahit ang tugtog namin ay 730pm) but we really have to go to the studio to rehearse and polish some songs, since hindi nakapagpractice si rei kagabi coz he has to go to the hospital dahil sinugod ang mom nya coz of asthma attack. 2am. i called the organizer para itanong kung pede pang magbackout, and just to give the impression of how unprofessional i am lalo na pag anxious. (coz nga ballroom ata ang tugtugan na gusto. sino bang hindi kakabahan?)

so dahil sa baha, traffic at tangang taxi driver, nakarating kami ng 6pm. pero wala pa naman kaming gagawin dahil wala pang yung mga tao. we talked to the organizer na ang first set namin is alternacoustic and 2nd set is reggae. since kakain pa sila (sila:35-127 yrs old. wala nga atang 35 e.), so instead na mobile ang tugtog, pinag-acoustic namin ang drummer namin since marami syang alam na mushy old songs and rondalla member sya.

only to find out na ang isa sa mga organizer, which happened to be a rich old screaming faggot, eh gustong tumugtog ang banda agad. we overheard the fag, ".. i hired them as a band and not a one man show. they're ruining my night.." PUTANG INA! KUNG TUMUGTOG KAMI NG FOR YOU NG STAIND TSAKA ISRAELS SON NG SILVERCHAIR HABANG KUMAKAIN SILA NG LUMPIANG SHANGHAI NILANG 40 PESOS ANG ISA NA KASINLAKI NG DIRTY FINGER KO, MALILIGAYAHAN BA YUNG TANGINANG BAKLANG YON!!!

so we started the first set right away, and after 3 songs, ang sabi ng matandang babae sakin ng pabulong (lumapit naman sya at nakangiti) "..can you please hurry up, coz the power has been cut around the subdivision area,and.." (ito yung matindi habang dinideliver nya ng nakangiti..) "..you're wasting our time.." WALANG PUMALAKPAK, NAKINIG AT SA SOBRANG BADTRIP KO, I FINISHED THE SET NG 5 SONGS LANG.

the band was really pissed at naginuman na lang kami sa bowling area. only to realize na may mga kasama pala silang DI at naghihintay pa rin ng ballroom. pakshet pala sila e.

after 4 days, heto ako ngayon, having nightmares of that fag.

aaaaarggghhh. ang hirap talagang gumalang ngayon.
