friday, damn it was a blast!

such a wonderful friday. i came to school prepped up and not wearing our usual uniform. it was for the reason that i'm one of the organizers of the Mathalino Ka, Enggaling Mo sa Marisci. and it was our somewhat privelege to wear semi-formal. i have to say that it turned out well, better than expected and the best (for me) contest held in school. though i have to admit that we had some problems. i don't want to mention them for it would only spoil the feeling. and i don't blame anybody for this is our first time and we have rooms for mistakes and more rooms for improvements. but i think, what made it wonderful is the performance of the fourth year band. i thought that we would have a big problem about it because the principal was watching. from what i predicted before, he hates this kind of performance. on the other hand it turned out well. so well. the principal even danced while they were playing and asking them to play another song. (they played only two songs. actually, 3 but finney's not included) the band was composed of finney, eman, carlo and anna. guitars, drums and vocals, respectively. anna's introduction of the songs already brought the house down. and not to forget is her wonderful voice. though it sounds like kitchie's, she made good versions of Mata and Tumatakbo. (oh i remember, it was like old mojofly singing their latest hits) and after the contest, i got my card. good grades. they were satisfactory, i should say. i don't have a line of 7. my filipino improved. and i even maintained my physics but i flanked my calculus. a drop of 12 points. imagine that. but i was satisfied. i rushed to mcs with finney for the band(without anna, additional members: benedict and jeff) i mentioned early was asked to do a front act at riverboat for tropical depression. then a few meters from mcs, we saw jeff and benedict running towards us telling us right away the news. we ran to this guy, sir noel is his name, and he was the one to blame this problem-slash-opportunity. he told us to sing some songs and so on. and after the talking came a panic time. we had to rehearse for a given time of an hour. we went to the studio at 6pm and the supposed performance was at 7pm. only to find out that we can't find a slot for those damn third year students who didn't even seem to care at our situation gave us no chance to practice. carlo and benedict went to other studios for possible rehearsal, eman went home to change clothes, jeff and i were left to negotiate and finney went to get the survivor, mr. maglalang. we then decided to go to finney's house to practice for about 30mins. we changed clothes and practice. (oh i remember, i don't have any instrument to practice except for my hands to clap.) off we go to riverboat at 7:00pm, high hopes. when we arrived at our gig, we found out that there were no guitars. that sir noel told us that they'll be providing the instruments but guitars were nowhere to find. another panic time. we split our ways to find our means of getting the guitars. finney and ben got two guitars, finney's and jeff's. eman also got his guitar. jeff and i went to celson's place to borrow for some guitar. we were so desperate in finding one and we even planned to borrow from april boy regino(yes, you read it right!) luckily we weren't able to do it and unluckily we were not able to borrow a guitar. it was almost 8pm when we were assembled and somehow ready to perform. and i'm too tired to write this post. and we played. played. played. after that, we decided to have our picture taken with some of the members of tropical depression. (papa doms) and we went home.

blown away shot of destiny

like i was saying yesterday, i was very exciting on what would happen this day. but at first, it was somehow ruined. when i went to the bus/jeepney stop, i suddenly found out a schoolmate of mine was wearing the usual uniform. i went back to our school to call some of my friends to make sure i was wearing the right uniform and only to find out that she was a freshie.(their not invited to watch for a resaon that i don't know) and on the school, it was weird. though we're not in the usual brown (and stupid looking) uniform, i felt awkward because i was drowned seeing all of them, including the faculty, wearing navy blue shirt. i thought at some point that i want to stand above them by wearing a different color only to realize i would look so stupid. and now i blew my shot at destiny. i really wanted to greet someone, who's celebrating today. yes, its rosette. happy birthday. and again i became so timid with this opposite sex. but i really warn you, reader, please don't make an issue about it. i really want to make friends with her, seriously. i can still remember that i'm going to watch the women's football, supposedly. and i failed. for i have to go to a studio and get along with my friends and see them play. it was fun. i promise! they made their own version of akap by imago. and i can't wait to let their "avid" fans hear it. but let me first check who these fans are. i want to do something. but in the end, i always end up hating myself for having it not done.

on the eve of a somewhat special day

and i'm writing on the eve of a somewhat special day. it's wonderful, to start with, that we're going to classes tomorrow wearing a different kind of "uniform". a navy blue shirt and jeans. i still don't know if we're allowed to wear slippers though i wouldn't do it. on this eve, i was able to watch the first or second episode of the oc. it was fine coz i was able to relate the ending of the first season,obviously, to the beginning to the second one. and i'm happy yet confused. i once again saw Seth Cohen(played by Adam Brody). honestly, i've been idolizing him since i began watching the oc. i really loved his character and how he wears his clothing. i think, i can somehow relate to him and his "story". confused?(yes, i saw those puzzled eyes) i'm still puzzled, too, because i don't know what cut of pants he's fond of wearing. (or maybe, you can help me in figuring it out.) after watching the oc, i ate my dinner and the fact that we're going to watch SEA Games for free, i guess, is such an honor. i suddenly found out that i'll be a part of the history. yeah, i know a bit only. i'm preparing the camera for tomorrow's activity. i'm really excited to watch women's football. (i have to admit that i have a short patience on watching football games.) somewhat special? i really don't know. you'd better not ask.

and that cold november saturday

yesterday's cold. and i like the feeling. after our meeting(math club officers) i went out to play counter-strike with andre. i walked outside wearing my jacket and it was zipped up to its half. i even wore my jacket for quite a long time. and see how cold it was yesterday. but what i found out is that the weather yesterday compliments and/or somehow seems to be what i was feeling. yesterday, it was: cloudy. gray clouds are all over the sky. i thought rain would pour down but it didn't. and i always think it would. and it seemed that it was holding "its tears." cold. it was cold, does that predict what would happen to us? would she be acting cold, after my "efforts?" but i think she would, and i'm not surprised with that. would i be acting the same way? and inspite of that kind of weather, i really liked it and i have been liking it since a certain day.

boob tube beauties

while eating dinner, we were watching extra challenge. and i like the theme of this week's challenges. as for their challengers, i did like them too. (i guess) ruffa gutierez(spell check pls), jasmine trias and donita rose. ever since she started and i saw her on tv(over the bakod), i really loved donita rose. she's so lovely. i don't know why but when i was a kid i used to have a big crush on her. i was also fond of seeing her on mtv when she was a vj back then. then i saw her again on extra challenge. i was also surprised to hear and even see jasmine trias on extra challenge. hear? yes, she's speaking tagalog fluently for someone who's considered(for me) a foreigner though she still had the fil-am accent. but i think that watching this episode of the said program is all about watching donita rose.

bad day? maybe not

today's a different day. i woke up very early, thinking that it is a saturday. but i should be accounting it to my pathways this morning. i was prepared right away even before my ride arrived. for the past saturdays i'm riding with my aunt who got a ride, i always end up dressing up on her car. i then went to ateneo to again have our self-enhancement workshop. it was all bout stress management. and i learned that this(writing on my blog, or of any medium) is a form of taking stress away. so much for that. sadly, i also learned that one of our mentor's leaving us, for good. she was reassigned to cebu for a branch of pathways there. (from what i know, she came from cebu.) i always thought that she would be always on our side. she was with us from our start and how sad it is to know she's leaving. though i really want to tell her i'm gonna miss her, i still can't. i just wanna thank her for all the support from her. after pathways, i went right away to robinson place metro east. when i was having our exercise, i was really puzzled by the thought of going there to buy the collection of neon genesis evangelion tv series. i was visited the place to check the price and found out that one of the four dvd costs Php150.00. I have enough money with me to buy one of the dvd so that this thirst for the anime would be quenched. to my surprise, i wasn't able to buy it coz the lady told me it is sold by set, costing Php400 for the four dvds. i didn't force myself in buying the collection. i went home right away, but not frustrated. i rode a bus in going home just to check and see marikina well because the weather's fine. and on my way home, i feel contentment and the thought of saving my money instead of buying impulsively became my lunch. such a wonderful day, isn't it?

a more organized thought maybe?

i've just arrived from school. actually, not straight from school but from a computer shop (internet cafe, as some may call it). we played counter-strike. and we are composed of boys from ruby and from sapphire. we filled the whole shop. polo jacket, khaki pants, black shoes, and stupid haircut, one would really recognize us as marikina science hs students. it was funny coz i was panicking. i was afraid if we would be caught playing, in uniform. but i suddenly felt that i should be responsible of what i'm doing. i should be ready for the consequences. well, i think that would be applicable not only in playing cs but also in what i'm doing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lately, i've been thinking to change the template of my blog. but a few questions are up on my head. they're the obstaclea. who would be doing it? if i would, how would i do it? what if i ask someone to do it? would he/she give me a favor? would he/she come up with a good design? then i realized that all i am asking for was a tagboard. i find it very cool. with my changing of template, i think i shoud be writing posts that have more sense than before. i really find some of my posts not consistent with the other. (i) think that it would be better if i'm going to transfer it to the other blog.

and here i go again

at sa gabing ikaw ang tinatangis maari bang mapagbigyan ang isang hiling na alam kong imposible. umalis ka, sa isang gabi. isang araw. sapat na ang alaala, ikaw na kapiling. hindi ko ginusto. sinong pipigil sa isang dakilang manlilinlang, tadhana. sa tagal ng ating pagsasama, inisip ko kung ang lahat ng ito ba ay totoo? bumalik tayo sa isang dati, ngunit lahat ng ito nawala. i just wanna post this coz i might be running out of posts this novemeber
