tanginang mundo ngayon.

i am annoyed for the fact that people nowadays, forget where they stand. the fact that you try to mingle, befriend, people in different brackets, what they do is try to overrule, prove that they're better and forget that they dont know me that well.

i try to be fucking nice, pero mga tsong... this place is filled with plastics, users, bitches and a lot of shit. oh yes, i am just a kitten in a litter box. but as far as i can recall, i am old enough to get out of here. i never knew though, na kahit umalis ako sa karton na yun, puro tae pa rin.

kaya ang putang ina... kulang pa sa lahat ng dapat kong mura. gaya nga ng nakalakhan ko, everything and everyone has karma. maghintay hintay tayong lahat kung ano ang mga darating satin. hinding hindi ako magpapahawa. dahil ayokong mabuhay na daig pa ng inutil, walang silbi, at nagbibigay lang ng sama ng loob sa ibang tao.

tumutulong ako. at ang pinaka reward na lang na makukuha ko ay ang maappreciate ang tulong ko. pero hindi, mas pipiliin nilang hobby ang mangintriga, mainggit at manira. punyeta.

dahil pag ako nagbago, tingnan natin kung sino ang magbabatian pag nagkasalubong pagdating ng araw. hindi man importante ang ngiti at pansin ko, hindi pa rin kayo mamamatay ng malinis.

putang ina ng lahat ng natamaan.

at pagtawag ko, tawa pa rin ng tawa dahil slang daw ako. eh ex-call center agent eh. may napala naman ako sa american accent training ko. hehehehe.

swallowing saturn.

i built a castle out of water
had a grasp of flowing illusions
ambition of you wanting me
ambition of me loving you.

i wanted to have a dream out of you
but never did reality pricked me this hard
like a needle, until now
like a knife, since then.

i falter on the wings that you once said
and how funny i wanted to fall
i wanted to fly
and yet i wanted to hurt
myself and... myself.

oh how much i wanted to fill
that emptiness in your words
but thats just me,
a hungry daydreamer.

reaching the stars burned my heart
still i wanted you
by my hand and by that
very same canopy you were stuck at

ill just weep
for i dont deserve saturn.
so i should stop
putting its ring on my finger.

eherm.

i am now officially blogging in my very own room. got my pc yesterday. :)

the week was sooo busy. had hale last wednesday, imago, spongecola, barbies cradle, uipodharmadown last friday, then hale and sugarfree last night. i have pics but.. id rather keep it in my pc then upload it. mashado shang maganda. heheheheeh.

umiyak ako twice during sugarfree's set. at hindi ordinaryong iyak. putang ina kasi sa ganda ang mariposa and burnout na acoustic, may 5 piece strings, flute at keyboards. sabayan pa ng boses ni ebe na.. grabe. no words. then after 3 blue hawaiis, naging hyper ako. kasabay ng "hyperbeat" na tumugtog after the gig. putsa. tanong nyo na lang kay ivan kung paano sila naging hyperbeat.

o sha sha. pag tinopak na uli ako, magpopost ako ng magpopost. :)

HALEstorm.

i am so sorry but i really cant contain myself. *clears throat*

in my life, there was the Eraserheads, the band who changed my music lifestyle. until there came the time "graduation" has to come. i shifted, lost my way until Imago rushed into my system. Music evolved and i had loved a lot of bands like Sugarfree and Sandwich. I indulged for three years until there came Hale.

It was last year that ive heard of the name, but never had i started to feed my curiosity. Until Sugarfree had their gig at Robinsons Place and Hale was their front act. I stood in awe. They were the members who owns "Broken Sonnet", a song in which i thought, a foreign artist interpreted. I looked for their album then i just got it last month only at tower records. (i wonder why oddysey doesnt have it before?) Then the Akap Video of Imago was released with their broken sonnet. Amazed by the art of the in-lay card (since i am the biggest fan of onion skin and 0.1 tech pens), i enjoyed listening to it and looking at it at the very same time.

For the first time, i met their vocalist Champ Lui-Pio at glorietta during the sugarfree slot. I had my cd signed and surprisingly, he just stood beside me and asked for my name. we chatted regarding their band and most of the songs on their album. Then the 2nd meeting at Saguijo, when he was really feeling so bad, he went to our table then told their 70's Bistro performance. And the RT gig, where he called me "oliver" pero bumawi sa mga kwento at sa kakulitan nya sa picture at sa pagkuha nya ng number ko). One of the friendliest "rockstars" ive met.

Now my gig nights would be really packed. :) So girls.. ehem... friend ko si Champ. hehehehehe.

.....

i hurt. i tremble. and this would be the last time i would tell a soul about this. this has been a carousel of bad things, we kept on riding for the sake of false hopes. until we became nauseous. and now were throwing up so bad.

my world fell apart since i was 14. that is how life took my lead. life is beautiful. overwhelming. if pain makes it more challenging, well, i have been challenged until my soul wanted to get away of my sanity.

i have hurt you for many times. what makes it more sad, i do it unintentionally. i wasnt even aware of this needle i kept on pricking onto you. u bled without any arguments. until spews of reality came out. u burst like an overblown balloon. and the only word i can use as defense is silence. because... your truth was that overlooked ignorance i held for so long.

since everything crashed down, you were the only thing im clinging onto. and now, you gently break into pieces. now im falling into this pit of broken dreams, broken promises and broken memories. and how it hurts so bad. and what can i do? just wait in vain.

i wasnt the kind that take things for granted. until you made me realize that i already am. 6 years ago, i hated myself for who i was. you taught me how to love. you made the sky my lucid turquoise canopy. but it turned out so bad. after all, i never thought i just loved myself for the courtesy of you loving me until that day. we both know that we dont love ourselves on such special way like before, and its much painful that i made it like that. now the sky is just an ominous big waste of space. and i am the person i hate.

so stop. coz this guilt that eats my identity makes me more vulnerable to tears. and again, i would want to have the hurt on my skin than under it. i try to stop myself. but thats just me. prone of hurting myself and anyone.

i want this to end right here and now. this has been the biggest leap of acceptance i have made. so no punctuations please. just period.

im tired. so are you. and again, silence is the only word i have.

the Ripe Tomatoes gig.

geez. it was one hell of a party. i was with abhie, ivan, burns, gene and the listers; tani d. maylene, mikeUPLB, and diego. we had the ROCKSTAR pass! like all you want pizza, beer, pancit malabon and iced tea (for me). kasama pa namin LAHAT ng banda (and yep, may pics kami pero di ko na iuupload dahil konti lang). Hale, Imago, Sandwich, Kjwan, Cambio, Sugarfree, Itchyworms, Sponge Cola, Pedicab, Mojofly, Barbies Cradle, Milk N Money, (may nalimutan pa ba ako???). geez. salamat salamat talaga kay maylene. di ko naman expected na pati food eh sagot sa backstage. ANG SAYA!!!!!! natigil lang coz of the rain. di na nakatugtog parokya ni edgar tsaka session road tsaka itchy. sayang.

basta basta. sobra sobrang astig.

the day i learned how to hurt.

monday, 12 mn. we went to the studio for a band rehearsal. we finished an original song and it turned out good. went home at around 4am then we stayed outside for another 2 hours to talk about the songs. and other stuff.

6am, i got really really sleepy then i signed off. they went home and instantly, i fell asleep. 720 am. i was awaken by some loud banging. i stood up opened the door, and it was my uncle. my drunk uncle, who, in the past 2 years of my life, kept harassing me/us and terrorizing our home, in which i just succumbed to. until my mom, my sister left our very own house and just visits eventually.

until that morning. una, ayoko sa lahat ng ginigising ako. pero yung sinisipa nya pa yung pinto ko e mas mukhang ayoko nun. lumabas ako, at tinanong kung bakit. sabi nya, "bat mo sinara ang pinto ko?" ano daw? sinipa nya ang pinto ko para itanong ang isang walang kakwenta kwentang bagay? mainit kasi sa kwarto nya tapos iniiwan nyang bukas yon. at ANONG PAKIALAM KO SA PINTO NG KWARTO NYA? so sabi ko..
"eh? *sabay labas ng kwarto ng nakaboxers* bukas naman ah."
"shempre binuksan ko!"
"o? anong problema mo ngayon?
"WAG MONG ISASARA ANG PINTO KO!"
"hindi ko nga sinasara ang pinto mo! bat ko ba isasara yan???"
"MAINIT NGA KAYA WAG MONG ISASARA!"

*pasok ng kwarto sabay lock uli ng pinto*

at hindi nako makatulog. tinatawagan ko ang mama ko dahil gusto ko na syang ipapulis. dahil ayoko ng mabuhay sa isang mundong may nakikitira at nanghaharass pa. kundi ba naman nagssuffer sya sa ultimate na kakapalan ng mukha. eksakto, dumating nga si mama dahil may kukuning gamit. nagtaka kung bat gising pako. at kung lasing ba si tito. so sinagot ko naman. nagalit si mama nung nalamang sinipa nya na naman ang pinto ko so bumaba sya at tinanong nya sa PINAKAMAAYOS na paraan kung may galit ba sya sakin. bigla ba namang sinigawan ang mama ko! so nagshirt ako at bumaba. pasigaw kong tinanong kung bakit sumisigaw sya.

bigla nya akong sinugod sa hagdan, at ako, napasugod din pababa. sinapak ko. nagulat sya. tumakbo. kumuha ng walis. hinampas ako sa ulo. sinapak ko uli. ni-headlock ko. binuksan ko yung gate. hinagis sa labas ng bahay. tinadyakan, habang ang linya ko.. "ano! tang ina mo, tayo! gago ka ha!" nagtry syang bumangon pero di gumawa. tapos nakita ko na lang ang daming dugo.

ayoko ng idetalye. pero natapos yun nung pinulot ko sya sa labas para dalhin sa ospital para ipatahi yung kilay nya. 6 stitches. pati mama ko sinugod din. dahil muntik ng atakihin sa puso. sobrang bloodshut yung eyes nya tapos di makahinga.

at sa biyernes, pulis na ang kasama nya dala ang mga gamit papuntang airport. dahil kailangan nya ng lumayas kahit durog ang puso ko sa itsura nya. sawa nako.
