Re-reformat.

Ive accidentally f*cked up my computer's system. Binalak ko kasing magmukhang Vista (medyo ayoko pang maguprade kasi complicated pa para sa ibang applications) then i accidentally deleted ONE file. ayun. mejo 7 hours lang naman para mabalik ko sa dating estado si bubuy (for the newbies... bubuy ang pangalan ng PC ko.)

Still, hindi naman ako mapapasuko ng kahit anong reformatting. maraming salamat sa pagpapartition at hindi nagalaw ang ibang files ko except sa mga bago kong inedit for the treehouse production. kaya ko pa namang gawin uli yun. hehehe

alas sais na. salamat at may naibunga naman ang aking paghihirap. kahit inudlot ng brownout ang service pack 2 kaya inulit ko uli ang reformatting.

Spark. (Treehouse: The Beginning)

9pm ang start ng gig. By 825, wala ng tables. I was scared shit of whats going to happen. What if nobody believes in these kind of plans? Lalo na sa lipunan ng mga alimango, wala ng pinaniniwalaan.

From Rivermaya, Hilera, Hotsi Patootsi, Julianne, My Odessa, Mayonnaise and Hale, everyone had this energy to make everyone in the room feel good. Everything was on time, walang hassle (except sa umusok na monitor while Julianne was performing. well its just because they're awesomeness are served with a side of awesomefries and awesomesauce. HOT!)

The two indie bands featured tonight are AMAZING. i think i should check Hotsi Patootsi more to hear more of this tagalog song that they played. really good. But to describe My Odessa, those three girls (two 19-yr olds and a 17 yr-old) made the crowd shout, stand up until Mayrics was rocked by this new band. They didnt play original songs yet, but man, the way they played their instruments... damn, i dont have a word to describe them. i think they eat rockstars three times a day.

*sighs*

I know its not that easy to have something so big that sudden. Pero little by little, upon accomplishing a smoke by rubbing wood sticks, if we continue on doing it, a little fire will spark until it bursts like a phoenix's flame.

It has been my dream to somehow do something for a cause. And with the success my heart have felt tonight, i know we are going somewhere.

For all who came and conquered, for those who believe in this cause, sana wag kayong mawala. We are more than grateful to offer you good great nights in return. Kapalit ng saya na nararamdaman natin habang inuugnay tayo sa isa't isa ng musika, higit pa ang mararamdamang saya ng lahat ng kaya nating tulungan.

Sa mga nagpunta, sa mga uminom, sa lahat ng banda, sa lahat ng nakikanta, sa lahat ng nagpapicture, sa lahat ng pumalakpak, sa lahat ng nag-commute, sa lahat ng bumiyahe ng malayo...

sa lahat ng naniniwala... sa lahat ng handa pang sumama...

Maraming Salamat. Pebrero naman ang sasakupin natin. *n_n*

The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince

Ive been staring at this compose blog entry page for so long. Id better start typing.

im not really a fan of koreanovelas. I love their movies though, but ive stayed loyal with Meteor Garden. I dont know if the appropriate term is "guilty pleasure" but i dont think its something that i should get embarassed from telling the world that i watch it. It's good. And ive been watching American series, so i dont think it makes any difference. maybe the mush, or the plot but compared to what Local Filipino series has to offer, id rather go singkit. And i dont watch the dubbed version. I think frequently hearing it and reading the subtitle makes you learn a bit of their language, plus you get to hear what they really sound like.

i finished the dvd ng two days lang. it has 17 episodes, 1-hour each and its REALLY GOOD. im not in the mood of giving a detailed review pero... it made me finish two rolls of tissue. sabi nga sa inyo mababaw ang luha ko. kiligin man o nakakaiyak, umiiyak talaga ako. basta gusto ko yung pinapanood ko.

the soundtrack is AMAZING. i even heard the wannadies' "you and me song" and one of blur's. From what ive read somewhere online, they released a 2-cd ost after the first, compiled by an indie korean artist Tearliner. Casker, and The Melody are some of the artists in the album which makes really great music. sana yung iba naiintindihan ko lang. Gong Yoo sang a part of Norul Sarang Hae, which had pretty mushy lyrics (idagdag mo pa yung eksena) that made me get the soundtrack.

If you enjoyed the story in My Sassy Girl, i think youll love this one too.

That Book Ive been dying to Finish.

I was trying to finish my book for two years now. 3/4 na nagawa ko nun before and hindi ko lang maisip yung ending. Tapos nareformat yung PC ko. Poof.

Then i started doing it again. Labu-labo na sha. Its either tinatamad akong i-type or i totally lost the words inside my head. Im just scared that someone mightve had the same idea and turn it into a movie or a series or sumthing. It will seem like ako pa yung nagrip-off.

Im not the type who knows a lot of heavy WOW words (if you know what i mean... hifalutin is too much e. hindi naman yun), pero i can sense naman na i could tell a good story. *sigh*

Does anyone have an idea on motivating a so-called writer?

--- o O o ---

uh... my nose just bled. weird. literally ha. natawa ako kasi iniisip kong mabuti yung mga words na ittype ko. LOL

pero shempre dahil kasi sa sipon. kakasinghot. hindi dahil sa kakaisip. nakakatawa lang yung pagkakataon. omigad nusbled. pls stop englishing me. my bren is bliding and comed awt op my nowst.

Uuuii Sikat.

Champ had the Treehouse Production Radio Tour moments ago. He dropped by the Jam Station, Wave, HitFM and Magic. Tomorrow nasa RX kami before the FEU gig. I just hope magaling na ako ng konti.

So hopefully, if you are serious about creating a change in someone's life... and in our lives as well, go watch a gig. It just feels nice to feel good and help at the same time.

please, please... it wont hurt to go there. ok naman ang lineup e. :)

Aeroaches

I went to the grocery last monday and grabbed a can of insecticide.

I am not scared with cockroaches but im not thrilled whenever theyre around. I mean, come on. I hate their feet crawling on my skin. yiiiii. thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

and one night, there was this invasion of aero-roaches. feeling ko mga graduates ng flying class nila kaya they were showing off and they planned on stayin inside our house. so naghanap ako ng baygon at wala.

last thursday, i sprayed the whole house with it. and i was SHOCKED to see a lot of them. Some dead and some trying to survive. Man i was furious. I cleaned up the whole kitchen for 4 hours. Attack of me being OC, i washed ALL the dishes, scrubbed the entire kitchen floor and threw away all the tupperwares na kahit may takip pero kinalimutan na ng panahon.

I also find it weird when my mom saves a lot of those used microwavable packs and never use it again, EVER. What the hell is that? Magkakaroon ba ng Grand Raffle na paramihan ng plastic sa bahay? And it has been 8 years since she lived with my sister, bat iniwan nya sakin lahat yon?? T_T

it was 1230mn when i had everything back in all its places. ang sakit ng likod ko. After an hour, i took a shower and slept.

The next day, i had sinusitis. nilagnat ako. I think i sniffed all the viruses hanging out inside those unopened kitchen cabinets. I cant believe i saw my teenage mutant ninja turtle tumbler i used during my elementary days. I mean, lumipat na kami ng bahay, twice... HINDI PA PALA TINAPON YON??? what were they thinking? that i will pass it to my grandkids and tell them "ingatan nyo ang baunan na yan. isa yan sa mga pinakamakasaysayang baunan ni Lolo Xavier nyo." O_o

ngayon lang ako nagkasinusitis... ever. in my entire life. at hindi pala sha nakakatuwa. so ngayon, here i am, namamaga ang mata dahil akala sa daan may nagpaiyak sa akin at nakakulong sa kwarto.

at P.S. january 19 na po, medyo late na ang happy new year na greeting. and believe me, being in this state tapos babatiin mo ako non, HINDE. its so wrong. pero ang masasabi ko lang sayo...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!

Sneaker Pimp.

Ive heard painting is therapeutic. and since im really planning to get a new pair of sneakers, might as well pimp the old one para ma sulit-sarap.




yan yung left foot. di ko pa nasisimulan yung isa. post ko uli hehehehe. im off to greenhills. hay ang inet.



yan ang right foot , ivan. LOL

That Kind Of A Day.

Alam nyo ba yung pakiramdam na minsan wala kang karapatang malungkot kasi pakiramdam mo ang ipokrito mong malungkot? Na minsan, alam mo talagang hindi ka huhusgahan ng mga huling susumbungan mo pag malungkot ka pero in the back of their heads they feel na you deserve it? Hindi sa paranoia pero alam mong vulnerable ka lalo na pag may mga bagay na sobrang nakakapagpalungkot sayo.

Pag namatayan ka, akala mo ang pinakamasakit na bagay na nangyari sayo eh ang maiwan. Pero kung tutuusin, ang pinakamasakit pala ay ang maramdamang dapat ka palang iwan.

To clear things out, hindi na natin kailangan pang mamatayan e. Yung mga salita pa lang na implying that you deserve to be sad because you do not have the right to grieve over something that you caused. nakakadurog na ng pagkatao.

Mahirap maging tao. Yung hindi mo alam kung saan idadaan ang emosyon lalo na pag ikaw ang kupal. ikaw ang siga. ikaw ang matapang. ikaw ang natatakbuhan. ikaw ang sinasandalan. at kung bakit ka ganon, eh dahil kailangan mong maging kupal, siga, matapang, takbuhan at sandalan. Kailangan mong maging malakas. Pero nakakapagod pala lalo na kung ikaw ang may kailangan. Na sana kahit hindi mo hingin, kaya nilang ibigay. dahil yung ang makakabuti sayo at hindi dahil sa kahit anupamang dahilan.

Whenever you go to a funeral, i think the best consolation a person can have is a hug, a good ear, and time to spend. Because in a funeral, words can be the water that could calm a person's senses, or the water that could drown him more to sorrow.

And to put on emphasis, when a person is grieving over someone who passed away, let the person cry. let the person feel that pain. or let the person not talk about it. because as a decent human being with clear senses, everyone should know by default that nobody has the right to judge that person, much more, on a certain day like yesterday.

Yesterday was the day when i lost grip to a past. and also, yesterday was that day i let go of a certain future.

Un-bleaking the bleak.

Woke up hearing bottles clinking and that fucked up rooster crowing in anytime of the day. Had 5 hours of sleep coz i slept at around 6am watching stuff and ripping cds for my pod.

I think im still bloated from what we had yesterday. Went to the EMI office and got a bagful of cds (Mamu... i love you forever and ever!! Super Thank You. As in all with costume tapos may super strength. Ganun ka-super). Roll looked on a stack.. Six Feet Under OST, High School Musical Party Mix, Kylie Minogue's X and Spice Girls cd/dvd then he uttered... kanino to? Then i said oh-so-proud na akin... then he looked at me and did that eyebrow thing while holding the Spice Girls Greatest Hits Album. Then Shel was like... WTF.. grabbing the cd and laughed. Sabi ko... Hello Girl Powah. Institusyon na yan duhr.

Anyway back to being bloated, they ordered in an 18" pizza after the meeting then Shel told us that hes going to meetup  Les and Jamie at Greenbelt. Since malapit ako sa Makati, and hindi ko pa nakakaharutan si Jamie in person, sumabay na ako. Sumama na rin si Champ kasi may pupuntahan din pala don. So I rode with Champ and Anna went with Shel. As much as i wanted to describe the traffic in EDSA, i actually realized that i ran out of words. I was talking to Erika using Champ's phone then Jo called him on the other one. So para kaming sira ni Champ nagsswap ng cell hanggang makarating ng Makati. Halos hindi rin kami nakapagusap. lol

We had dinner at Fish and Co. then bumili si Shel ng tickets for I Am Legend, e hindi na dapat ako sasama coz ive already seen it. Four freakin times, and i dont even like it that much. Since hindi pa nila napapanood, i was just trying to scare Anna by doing weird funny noises. Until that gay man in front of us got literally irritated. Napagbintangan pa akong natatamaan ko yung seat nya. Bintangero leche. sapakan na lang.

After the movie, since nung isang gabi pa nga pala nagaaya ng food trip si Lesley, we went to North Park Makati Ave at kumain ng Tipak tipak na karne ng baka sa ibabaw ng Hongkong Noodles. Hindi lang yan. Nag Yangchow si shel, nag wanton si anna at jamie tapos umorder pa kami ng siomai at nagdalawang siopao ako. Feeling nyo nakain ko? Hinde. Dahil hindi nakakaaliw ang dami nung Braised Beef Noodle ko.

We went home at around 1am then i watched OTH season 5 premiere again and Gossip Girl episode 13.

And today, im going to greenhills with Ryan (coz hes buying something there), and im getting the ordered printees, tapos meet with erika sa starb promenade.

tagal ng Greys. *sigh*

so this is how you handle stress. my minds literally a mess lately and thank god i went out. at least i can breathe a lil bit and i can feel that may brains going to function rationally.

hello sunshine.

One Tree Hill s05e02: Racing Like A Pro

"The rest of your life is a long time, and whether you know it or not, its being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate, or bad luck, or bad choices... or you can fight back. Things arent always gonna be fair on the real world. Thats just the way it is. But for the most part... you get what you give.

Let me ask you one question. Whats worse? Not getting everything what you wished for... or getting it but finding out its not enough?

The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase.. the choices you make... and the person you decide to be. 

The rest of your life is a long time, and the rest of your life... starts right now."

One Tree Hill s05e02

Its back. We were actually dreading that it will not have another season. But its definitely back.

Blog On Hiatus.

I havent been blogging lately. Theres a storm passing by and ill just wait for the sky to clear first. I dont want to evaluate 2008 as early as now. But that Christmas season, the one that just passed by, was the weirdest season ive ever had.

Have you ever wondered... if Mary had a miscarriage, with all the walking, the travelling, the weather, the hunger... would the angel get another person to carry Jesus Christ or would he/she (thinking that angels are androgynous) still choose Mary to re-conceive? If ever the first happens, would Mary have some credit by just trying? Will it still be on the books? Or what if it already happened and we didnt know anything about it? Would anyone mind?

Or maybe God is so sure that Mary will be 100% physically fit to endure all those obstacles during her pregnancy phase. After all, he knows everything, right?

Gossip Girl Mid-Season Post

..if and only if this series is not affected by the writer's strike.

anyway, i anticipated this show as the new york version of The O.C. since both shows are written by no other than Josh Schwartz. Same thing, a certain clique, an oustider, someone caught in a transition, a social climbing mother, a conniving son of a bitch, and one character thats missing is an emo guy.

I love Blair than Serena. She was the one caught up between a lot of complications. Her mom being unattentive, dad ran away with a male model (that sounded so promising hahahaha), boyfriend manipulated by the parents, and bestfriend stabbed her at the back (unintentionally... as Serena couldve said). With all those things, can you blame Blair for focusing on being just a manipulative bitch than being a suicidal sociopath?

Dan/Serena couple is typical. of course i love them by default. i think its self-explanatory.

The Lily/Rufus love story is waaaaay better. One of the saddest stories inside a teen flick. Come on, would you actually talk about a dad being inlove with a friend's mom? ive told you earlier that i thought lily is like mischa barton's mom in the oc, but wow. the transition from being a selfish golddigger to a sacrificing mom made her win my heart.

Im literally confused with Nate's character. is he that dense? hes like a toy for any devious person in the show.

Chuck's character is really interesting. har har. the heartless prick that pretends to have a heart. i seriously dont think hes inlove with Blair. Blair's just one of his conquests. hes more into her just because he cant get her.

Jenny. I dont even want to start with her. I just feel im too old to actually focus on Jenny. Go highschool freshmen! its your turn to love her. (i actually didnt see her on episode 12.) Theres this one episode when ive seen her capabilties to be a bitch (that sleepover episode) which is unexpected but she kinda has this weak character.

Vanessa. wow shes getting a lot less gypsy-looking by the episode. (i love that certain scene where blair dropped by on the coffee shop shes working, blair telling her that she paid for her rent so she could dislike her again lol). Shes just too street smart for the show. shes like a minor character in rent. so artsy. *^_^*

The soundtrack on the show is amazing. you know how much i love soundtracks.

and the clothes. damn. THE CLOTHES. kahit gaano kainit rito sa pilipinas, GUSTO KO NG SCARVES AT CARDIGANS NI DAN. demmit. (although the girls are too fancy. maybe im a dan type of a guy.)

i just hope the storyline gets more and more interesting. coz theres this thanksgiving episode which is not even worth to watch. it was last year and this year's thanksgiving, which is actually strange coz i thought serena's in a boarding school the previous year. tapos dun sa episode na yun, magkasama sila ni blair. weird.

and now, since serena and chuck will be step-siblings, i just hope that it wont be much more focused with the dan-chuck tension. itll be less exciting.

gossip boy just saying something about gossip girl.

...... ... ...not a good punchline.
