Di na baguhan sa pagkukunwari [28 Oct 2006|10:03pm] [ mood | apathetic ] [ music | Razorback ] ZOMG. I'm just on my, what, 5th day of vacation and I'm bored as hell. And I am telling you, I am not the least amused. Of course I should be thankful that I'm still alive after that horrid finals week. But I miss doing something. Seriously. And not only that. I'm broke, too. Bored and broke. Deadly combo, man. I am telling you. * A lot of people think I am just 18 or 19. MUHAHAHAHAHA! Uh yes. Let's NOT be honest here, for once. * So I had my palms read for three times now by three different people. First was Sir Jun O. Then Bryan. Then Kuya Joseph. They all said different things. Except for one. That I'll get married and have kids. Yes, you may laugh your heart and guts out. Not that it's SO EFFIN IMPOSSIBLE. It's just that it's so not happening right now. Not that I'm hurrying up to settle down because I still have to find a person to settle with first. I guess I just found this entire palm reading funny. And it's weird because I don't actually believe in those things but I find it fun and interesting to hear what they have to say about my future. * I miss old school OPM rock. Bilanggo, sa rehas na gawa ng puso mo. Man. It seems that the prime of OPM rock is long past. Especially now that Basti Artadi has resigned from the music scene. Man, oh, man. I miss Wolfgang. * It's the what if that hurts us the most. True enough. The ghost of Christmas past

Paris by Chicosci [15 Sep 2006|01:33am] Could I be so affected Will I stay on your mind Why am I so infected The way that we shine Speak now or forever fall into pieces I took you so fast The way we are is just a movie sequence I took you so I can't ever deny this This gift you won't hide This scene that we're in together The story of our lives Broken, lover Tears flow, endless rivers One love, one heart Still we won't sever Speak now or forever fall into pieces I took you so fast The way we are is just a movie sequence I took you so fast Speak now or forever fall into pieces I took you so fast The way we are is just a movie sequence I took you so fast Could I be so affected Will I stay on your mind Why am I so infected The way that we shine Twisting, turning As we move further My own prayer We will both emerge You and I step into the light I'm so graced That I have this You and I step into the light I'm so graced That I have this

Geekazoid [06 Sep 2006|10:26pm] [ mood | complacent ] Our Coheed and Cambria MP3s got deleted!!!111!!! I swear. I'm not delusional or jaded or whatever. There is so much injustice in this world. I hate the world. * * * I know this is a week or whatever late of a reaction but I will state the obvious. Raul Gonzales is the biggest asshole in the whole wide universe! Bow. * * * I have said it in LJ but I will say it here as well. I am IN LIKE to Dictalicense's vocalist!!11!! I am now an official groupie of the band. Speaking of IN LIKES, I am also IN LIKE to one of Ayn Rand's literary character, Andrei Taganov. * * * I need a dose of JD humor. 3 | The ghost of Christmas past

Good Life by Francis Dunnery [03 Aug 2006|10:48pm] [ mood | hopeful ] Softly Now, You owe it to the world And everyone knows that you're my favourite girl But there's some things in life that are not meant to be I'm not meant for you and your not meant for me Here's to our problems And here's to our fights Here's to our achings And here's to you having a Good life From Me Good Life Softer Now, You owe it to yourself And don't think that you will be left on the shelf Cause there's someone for you and there's someone for me Like me you'll meet them eventually Here's to your lover And here's to my wife Here's to your children and here's to you having a good life From Me Good Life Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Louder Now, You've lost all your pain You're married with children and happy again And now I'm regretting the move that I made Fatal mistakes are so easily made Enough of my problems they only cause fights Forget that I rang you And promise you'll have such a Beautifully happy and painlessly romantic Good life From Me Good Life From Scrubs Season 1 Soundtrack 3 | The ghost of Christmas past

Jeepney [22 Jun 2006|10:49pm] [ mood | energetic ] DAD: WHAT MUSIC IS THIS?! THIS MEGALOMANIAC? ME: Well, it's about Bush. But I know that wasn't the point. Of course dad was reacting on the line "hey megalomaniac you're no Jesus, you're no f***ing Elvis". Jesus and the F word in one sentence. His kids are heretics! He must have secretly panicked that's why he asked me to delete the entire album in his MP3 Player. Oh well, at least we're open on what type of music we listen to. DAD: Delete the A Crow Left of the Murder. MOM: Murder?! Heck!* ME: Murder is the plural of CROW. Like SCHOOL of fish is the plural of fish. Once again, that wasn't the point. *How do I translate Ano ba yan?! in English? * * * I wish there's a Filipino Michael Moore. * * * And hey maybe love at first sight is true because I can't get out Jeepney Mate Gilbert Remulla look alike out of my head. It would have been downright hilarious but I'm not even laughing. Anyway, it's not that THAT was the first time. I remember the first time I fell in love at first sight. Also in the jeepney on the way home. He was donned in either a med student uniform or a nursing uniform. He went off at some village before our village and I never saw him again. It's funny. Not the weird, strange sort of funny but funny as in whoa, man, am I even serious funny. It's funny because I think those boys perfectly fit the physical features of a boy I would fall head over heels with -- one-side swept clean cut hairstyle, eyeglasses, thin to medium body frame. But the eyeglasses was what set them apart. I hate to admit it but yeah, just like Harry Potter. 10 | The ghost of Christmas past

[05 Apr 2006|12:14am] Tender by Blur Tender is the night lying by your side. Tender is the touch of someone that you love too much. Tender is the day the demons go away. Lord, I need to find someone who can heal my mind. Come on, come on, come on get through it. Come on, come on, come on love's the greatest thing. Come on, come on, come on get through it. Come on, come on, come on love's the greatest thing, that we have, I'm waiting for that feeling,waiting for that feeling, waiting for that feeling to come... Oh my baby, oh my baby Tender is the ghost The ghost I love the most. Hiding from the sun waiting for the night to come. Tender is my heart it's screwing up my life. Lord, I need to find someone who can heal my mind... Tender is the night lying by your side. Tender is the touch of someone that you love too much. Tender is my heart it's screwing up my life. Lord, I need to find someone who can heal my mind... Oh my baby, oh my baby Heal me, heal me 6 | The ghost of Christmas past

It chills me to the bone [01 Apr 2006|03:13am] [ mood | content ] At least this account has a new layout after 10 million years. That's gotta be something at the very least. Anyway, I like how this one looks, simpler but pretty. I mean, you could totally and completely disagree with me but I won't give a damn so you could insult, degrade, dehumanize, do whatever you like, I would not care less. Really. And this will be another verbal vomit just like the rest of the entries but that's why this account exists, for my verbal vomits for everyone to consume or NOT consume, whatever's the deal but see, once you've read it, you've consumed part of it so... there. I am losing vocab here! My migraine kills me. I remember the last time that I had a 3 day long migraine which made me run to the hospital have myself checked up because you know, I just might have a tumor! I am paranoid like that, as much as I tried to be cool and nonchalant about anything weird I feel. But that 3 day migraine was just not doing me any good. Also, I was having a hard time concentrating, thinking, doing any kind of school work because it was a pounding and traveling headache. Traveling, I mean, the pain moved from one part of my head to another. It's weird but not according to the EENT who looked me up. He called it "cluster headache". And it was due to stress or lack of sleep *shifts eyes*. The thing is, I don't want another 3 day headache because really, it's no party. Besides, I hate drinking medicines, even those in capsule forms so I don't want to burden myself with two things I hate, headache and drinking medicines. So please, go away, headache. * * * So I just watched Amityville Horror and Red Eye an hour ago and naturally, I have a lot to say about the two movies. First, Amityville Horror. Okay, can I just say that Ryan Reynolds has one of the best bods I've ever seen? And it's a different Ryan Reynolds in that movie. And I am envious of Alanis for being with Ryan Reynolds because he has such a yummy body! At least Ryan explored his potential as an actor. Although he's not one of the best actors, he's not even THAT funny, I can say that he's improving and maybe someday he could do drama. I mean who knows? It's not as scary as I anticipated it would be. There were a lot of expected scenes like when a camera spans into that say, window into its dark abyss, you could just expect that something is about to go out from it, that kind of expected scenes so it wasn't much of a thriller. There were a few good scary scenes but not good enough to hide yourself under the covers. It's just another horror movie that will be easily forgotten. As for Red Eye, Cillian Murphy has got to be the most sinister looking actor I've ever seen. Those pale blue eyes and its intensity can either make you run for your life or fall for him. Those got to be the most expressive eyes ever. He doesn't even have to SPEAK! All he has to do is LOOK and you'll know. Now, that's an actor. Rachel McAdams might just be the next Hollywood It Girl. She has proven herself to be a versatile actress, from comedy to drama to suspense thriller, she can just do them all. She OWNS, man! Okay, so maybe OWN is a strong word. But she has potential and she's definitely going somewhere. As for the movie, it started well and ended dull. I actually like the fact that it tried to mislead the people into thinking that it was a love story but its trailer was a giveaway so just that defeated its purpose (if it had). For a suspense thriller, it was definitely a try, but not a good try and Wes Craven disappointed me. It's no way near Scream. And Rachel McAdams is no Neve Campbell but as I've said, she's going somewhere. She just might be the next Neve, if not better than Neve. Maybe I should have just borrowed Chicken Little and bring to memory Kevin Covais. I miss his humor in AI. 4 | The ghost of Christmas past

Itaas mo! [20 Jan 2006|12:20am] [ mood | contemplative ] I intended that this blog be where I vomit my political, social, and whatev views. You know, all that I'm a concerned citizen, I care, I love my country, I will make a difference crappola. But then I get sick thinking up of how should I examine certain things. Like PGMA administration for example. I've been ranting on how she runs the government and the Philippines that I am bored ranting and hating her. Or George Bush and his wars to all the nations that pose a threat on the all-powerful country of USA. I mean, we all hate wars and death and George Bush is just the kind of man who revels on that and everyone knows that already that it gets old too soon. I am bored with them and their imperfections and their stupid mistakes that I don't even have the strength to even care. And that's just sad. I am a citizen of this country and I desire nothing to this country but that it will rise above the problems that beset it. I desire nothing but to see my fellow citizens eating three times a day, going to work, paying their taxes, obeying traffic regulations, obeying the law of the land. It's not even asking too much. It's what you and I am supposed to do and be as a citizen of a nation. But every time I would watch the news, every time I would see the kids in their tattered clothes all over the streets in Quezon Ave., every time I would read the newspapers, I don't know which emotion to feel first. Should I be mad because the government is doing a lousy job taking care of its citizens? Or should I feel sad because it seems that the country is going nowhere? Or should I feel nothing because there's nothing I can do? I participated to a number of volunteer work. There were Habitat for Humanity and Gawad Kalinga where we helped build houses. There was the time where we helped bag canned goods and clothes for the flood victims in Quezon. Somehow, it gave me a sense of hope that if only people would care enough to help even a little, the country is not so hopeless after all. I would like to see it that way, just so I could feel a bit edified and hopeful regarding the whole situation. I love the Philippines and I am proud of its heritage, its history, and its people. I will desire no other country to be in. *** The internet is boring me. It's either I need new sites to surf or the internet has just become boring. Period. 4 | The ghost of Christmas past

Bored. [15 Jan 2006|02:22am] [ mood | bored ] When did the internet become so unbelievably boring? This is just sad. And my header is screwed when I use the Opera browser. Oh, it just takes time to upload (or download?). Still, the internet is boring. And damn these one-liners. I would like to be emo and all that but I'm too bored to be emo. Jeez. 4 | The ghost of Christmas past

Dear whoever. [14 Dec 2005|07:11pm] [ mood | creative ] The results of your analysis say: You like to be surrounded by four solid walls. You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones. You are diplomatic, objective, and live in the present. You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody! You are self-confident and like to bring attention to yourself. I love my handwriting but THAT is not how my penmanship really looks like. My real handwriting looks WAY better than that. 33 | The ghost of Christmas past

Hairdo'h [07 Dec 2005|12:31am] [ mood | crazy ] [ music | PnE|Gitara ] Vain. And loving it. I need a trim though. Badly. My hair's hella ugly. I don't feel the holiday seasons. I just can't wait for the break. Weee. 2 | The ghost of Christmas past

Stuck out here for days [29 Oct 2005|03:46am] [ mood | cranky ] [ music | Matcbox 20|3 AM ] There is something wrong with the Pinoy music scene now. Okay maybe WRONG is a strong word to use, but something's off and a big fan of Pinoy rock music like me, it's not very... inviting. See, the reality of Orange and Lemons alleged ripping off of a foreign song just sunk in real deep last week when I finally heard the song that was said to be the one that OnL imitated. And imitation it was. No kidding about that. Even if you're no musician, you'll say that it's a rip off, clear cut one, too. I like OnL. Really. They're talented and their songs are awesome. But ripping off a song from another artist and although they did say they had influence, anyone who hears it will know that it isn't ONLY influence, that's not good. In fact, it's a big turn off. They maybe talented but they're not talented enough. Then there's these emo bands sprouting everywhere. I'm not sure about the genre really but I like to call them emo as their songs are emo in a way. I mean they sound just like each other! From Spongecola to Hale to Cueshe. I mean, c'mon. Can you guys try to sound a bit different from each other just so we know who's singing? And the fact that everyone and I mean everyone (except from the Pansies) just love them makes me sick and want to vomit at their faces. At least PnE can still make me laugh after more than a decade of being a band. And Sugarfree is Eheads contemporary. Yeah. I guess it's still good. And Simple Plan's song that tells about his life and that no one understands him and that he's suffering all the pains in the world and that no one will ever feel the same way as he does IS, I MUST SAY, A BOAT LOAD OF EMO DUNG. Obviously, whoever wrote that song is not updated on the world's current events. That his view of the world is limited to himself and certainly, that is tad too self-centered of him (or her) and no one likes a self-centered person, rockstar or not. So whoever wrote that lame ass song, you better read the newspaper dammit. You don't know half of what pain and suffering mean. 4 | The ghost of Christmas past

yawn. [26 Sep 2005|11:51pm] [ mood | tired ] Ang Pinoy Big Brother as skwater! Kahit na pinapanood ko siya, hindi ako natutuwa sa palabas na yon. Ang boboring ng mga tao at ang sellout nila! Basta ang jologs. To the max! Di ko ba maintindihan kung bakit pinapatulan sila ng masa e ang corny naman ng mga pinaggagawa nila. Sayaw lang ng sayaw amp. Asar e. Tapos nagpasok pa ng Fil-Am. Biased pa naman ako pagdating sa mga Fil-Am. Badtrip kasi ako sa mga Fil-Am na hindi marunong magtagalog e. Kahit laki pa sila sa States, wala akong pake! Dapat tinuruan sila ng mga magulang nila mag tagalog! Porke ba nasa America na sila e ibabaon na nila sa limot ang kanilang kinalakihang kultura? Basta badtrip! Sa tingin ko nga hindi dapat sinali yang Fil-Am na yan e. PINOY nga e. Kahit kalahating Pinoy siya, wala akong pake. Wild card daw siya e hindi nga ata nag-audition yan para sa Big Brother tapos wild card?! Parang ngayon lang ako naka encounter ng wild card na kung san lang pinulot. Tapos feeling ko pa rigged yung mga results. Ewan, pakiramdam lang naman yon. Pinapanood ko lang yan pag nagtatanggalan na sila e. Kasi lalong kumukorni to the point na nakakatawa na sila. Basta ang jologs. Basta ang skwater ng Pinoy Big Brother! Sabi sa Sisterhood of Traveling Pants There's a little bit of loser in all of us. Gusto ko yung thought na yon kasi minsan sa buhay natin nagiging loser talaga tayo. Yung feeling na ang olats mo. Hindi dahil talo ka sa isang contest o ano pa mang kumpetisyon pero yung pakiramdam na olats. Ewan, di ko madescribe. Parang pinaghalong self-pity at disappointment at disillusionment tapos sadness o frustration. Halo-halo e. Basta pag naramdaman mo yon, alam mong it's the loser feeling. Tas yon. Astig yung thought kasi oo nga naman, hindi naman palagi na nasa itaas tayo. Hindi lahat ng tao tatanggapin tayo at hindi lahat ng pangarap ay matutupad. Basta maganda yung thought. Reminds us na we're all equal as human beings. Namimiss ko yung Tabulas blog ko. Wala lang. Ang ganda kaya kasi ng layout ko don tapos bigla kong naisipan layasan yon. Bat nga ba ako umalis don? Ewan ko rin. Basta nagsawa nalang ako don. Saka feeling ko kasi andaming lurkers (assuming amp) tapos ewan, parang nag-iispiya ng buhay ko. Hahaha! Feeling artista amp. Pero yun nga. Jologs e. Tapos yung plano pa namin ni Mea na magkaron ng DJ account tas natupad namin. Yon, astig kasi elite 'tong server na 'to at yung mga bloggers na posers naman talaga e hindi makakagawa ng account dito so hindi magiging sellout ang DJ. Hindi gaya ng LJ. Halos lahat nalang ata ng tao e may LJ. Ang skwater. Kaya dito na ko sa onting tao at puro Americano. Badtrip nga lang at puro Kano dito pero okay lang, di naman ako galit sa race nila e. Badtrip lang ako sa presidente nila. Basta yon, minsan namimiss ko si Tabulas. Pero ganon talaga. May mga pagkakataon na dapat maghiwalay ang mga tao at bagay. 4 | The ghost of Christmas past

As if I can't stand losing [14 Sep 2005|06:08pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | Trapt|Still frame ] Favorite Scar by The Vanished Remember when we said we'd never part No purple tears and break each other's heart Now I'm the fool for trusting this far 'Cause now you are my favorite scar So tick tock 'bout time for the pain come in When you said we'd all be friends in the end< I hope you'll find what you need 'Cause I won't be those things in your magazine Oh, oh, oh, you were my star now Oh, oh, oh, you're my favorite scar So wake me when it's over And tell me when the feeling's gone I always knew that you'd be my favorite scar Your burn is slow but it burns me to the bone I'm comatose then I start to walk alone I hope you'll find what you need But can I have my heart back 'cause it's starting to bleed I miss the way that you smiled I hate it when you cried When we said goodbye Yeah, that's what you are, you are my favorite scar It sucks when you start to remember dead memories of the past. Seriously. I'm still wondering when will SHE resign. Seriously, the politicians in this country are worse than the evils I have ever seen. And the saddest part is, they roam the world freely. Jeez. The world is ending, I swear. Classic things to say when you're stressed. "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" "Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after." "I pretend to work, they pretend to pay me" "Don't worry. I forgot your name too." "I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?" "Not all men are annoying. Some are dead." "You look like shit. Is that the style now?" <--- this gotta be my favorite. Imma change the layout soon. I want a School of Rock themed layout. I said it first. No imitating! I know. I still owe Han $5. *sobs* 2 | The ghost of Christmas past

Bad news. [16 Aug 2005|02:00am] [ mood | crappy ] [ music | RHCP|Under the bridge ] Ayoko ng manood ng news. Takte, mas lalo kong nalalaman ang mga signs na sooner or later e mawawala nalang sa mapa ang Pilipinas kasi nilamon na ito ng lupa. Sana lamunin na ng lupa yung Female Hobbit para matapos na ang major issues na bumabagabag sa bansang Pilipinas. Hindi ko ba alam kung kanino dapat ako maasar. Sa gobyerno ba, sa mga mamamayan, o sa sarili ko e. Siguro sabay sabay ko nalang kakaasaran para patas. Hindi ko alam ang mga nitty gritty ng economy pero alam ko naman siguro ang epekto ng pagkakaroon ng EVAT sa mga consumers. Consumer rin naman ako at some level at mabigat talaga sa bulsa kung magtataas ang presyo tapos hindi naman ito proportional sa kinikita ng isang tao. Naisip ko tuloy na sana ang maging lider ng bansa ay yung mga taong kabilang sa Middle Class kasi alam nila yung mga hirap na dinadanas ng consumer. Hindi sila ganon kayaman para hindi agad ma feel yung epekto ng pagtaas ng presyo. Hindi rin naman sila ganoon kahirap para hindi na makafford ng mga bilihin. Kanina natawa nalang ako nung nakita ko si TV yung isang ale na nagwawala sa harap ng DOLE. Yung tawa na yon hindi out of amusement. Tawa yun na takte, ganito na ba kawawa ang Pilipinas. Parang araw-araw nalang may rally. Hindi ko rin naman masisisi yung mga tao na nagrally. Siguro wala na silang ibang way upang i vent yung anger nila at ipaalam sa mga nakakataas yung nararamdaman nila. Minsan nakakaasar kasi parang yun nalang ang alam nilang gawin pero madalas mas naaasar ako sa gobyerno kasi hindi nila kinokonsider yung mga hinaing ng mga tao. Natawa ako don sa sinabi ng isa pang nagrarally: Sige, magbisikleta siya tapos susunod ako. Tapos yung isa pa sabi: Bilhan nya kami ng bike at sabay-sabay kaming magbibike! Jologs pero pare, may point e. Tapos naaasar pa ko don sa sinasabi na para makatipid dapat yung mga cabinet members bawasan yung extra cars nila. Takte kasi bat ba kasi may extra cars? Security? Kung sabagay, kailangan nila yon. Baka mamya sa sobrang galit ng tao sa kanila e hindi na kataka-taka kung may biglang mag-assassinate sa kanila. Hindi na ako magugulat. Basta nakakaasar manood ng news! Tapos sinasabi pa nila onting tiis lang. Tarantado ba sila?! Sige magpalit kaya kami ng pwesto. Yung mga mahihirap yung manirahan sa Malacañang at sila yung marinahan sa mga slum area. Takte, ewan ko lang kung magtagal sila. Onting tiis amp. Daan daang taon na nagtitiis ang sambayanang Pilipino. Siguro naman panahon na para umahon sa hirap. Pero dahil ganid ang mga "makapangyarihan" nalulubog lang ang tao sa lalong kahirapan. Reklamo na naman pero walang alternatibo. Eh pano naman magkakaroon ng alternatibo eh ayaw naman nilang gawin yung alternatibo na minumungkahi? Gusto pa rin nila yung paraan na makikinabang sila. Asar amp. Kung sabagay, may mga alternative sources of oil naman na. At least, may mga sagot rin sa ibang problema. Basta para sa akin, isa sa mga pangarap ko sa buhay makita ang Pilipinas maging superpower country. Dadaigin nya ang China, Japan, at US! Sana magdevelop ng nuclear weapons ang Pilipinas para maconsider na rin siyang superpower. 1 | The ghost of Christmas past

Imulat ang mata [20 Jul 2005|05:15am] [ mood | awake ] Pagising sa umaga, langit nakatawa, sa Batibot, sa Batibot. Ang Batibot ang isa sa mga palabas na kasama sa aking pagkabata. Sino ba ang makakalimot sa magkaibigang Pong Pagong at Kiko Matsing? Eh kina Kuya Bodjie at Ate Sienna? Eh yung counterpart ni Ernie at Bert na si Ging ging at Ning ning? Eh yung paborito kong aliens na sina Sitsiritsit at si Alibangbang? Wala. Wala ng papantay sa galing at saya na dulot ng Batibot. Dito ko ata natutunan ang iba't ibang alamat na si Kuya Bodjie pa ang nagkukwento. Yung alamat ng Pinya na maldita kasi yung bata eh kaya ayon, dumami yung mata nya. Natakot nga ako dito kasi parang ganon ako dun sa bata eh. Yung tipong di pa naghahanap nagtatanong na agad kung saan. Kaya siguro naging 4 yung mata ko. Baka in another 20 years maging walo 'to ah. Ang pinakanaaalala kong episode dito eh yung hindi makatulog si Pong Pagong. Sabi ni Pong Pagong, yung mata daw niya inaantok na pero yung katawan niya ayaw pang matulog. Nung bata ako inisip ko kung posible ba yon eh parte ng mata yung katawan. Ngayon, alam kong tama si Pong Pagong, posible yun. Hindi ko matandaan kung saan ba si Kapitan Basa. Sa Batibot ba siya o sa ATBP? Pero alam ko may taga basa rin sa Batibot kung si Kapitan Basa ay sa ATBP. Pero namamatay na ata ang mga brain cells ko na naglalaman ng mga alaala ng Batibot. Onti nalang ang naaalala ko di gaya ng dati. Mas naaalala ko na kasi ang ATBP. Pero mas makulay at may dating sa akin kasi ang Batibot kaya mas paborito ko siya. Higit sa lahat ang pinaka favorite ko ay si Sitsiritsit, Alibangbang. Na wala atang alam sabihin kundi iyon. Ay, at walang kamatayang... Alin, alin, alin ang naiba na trip na trip namin kantahin kung gusto naming mang-asar. At yung Ako ang kapitbahay, kapitbahay mo na rip off ng Who are the people in your neighborhood. Ngayon wala na ito. Di ko na alam kung ano na ang palabas tuwing umaga. Ang pinapanood na kasi ni E eh yung Dora the Explorer pero takte, elitista amp. The best pa rin yung Batibot at ang kaniyang tagalog jingles! At san ka makakakita ng TV show na may aliens na nagtatagalog?! Dito lang, sa Batibot lang yan! 6 | The ghost of Christmas past

[29 Jun 2005|09:46am] [ mood | I'm a 90s baby ] [ music | Philippine Violators|Sikat na si Pedro ] Tama. Wala ng hihigit pa sa Pinoy rock scene nung 1990s. Takte. The best talaga yon. Yano - Astig yung mga kanta nila. Napaka socially relevant na may wit at sharpness. Think Bob Ong or Pol Medina, Jr. na kumakanta. Ganon yung dating ng Yano. Kung iisipin, parang gago yung mga kanta nila pero ibig sabihin lang non, tanga ka pag dating sa mga socially relevant issues. Either isa kang conyo (sa totoo lang, dito ko unang napulot yon eh) or wala ka lang talagang silbi. Eraserheads - Shempre. Kelangan ko pa bang i-explain? Eheads 'to, pare na may humigit kumulang na best seller (parang libro hahaha) albums! Ang mga kanta ng Eheads ay subok sa roadtrip, sa chill out sessions, sa kahit anong trip mong maisipan pa. At ang mga kanta, tungkol sa buhay -- pag-ibig, barkada, school, lahat. Wolfgang - One word: Basti Artadi. Eto yung feeling ko na Pinoy Metallica eh. Yung boses kasi ni Basti ang lalim tapos yung English songs nila akala mo eh international artists ang kumanta pero Pinoy pala. Tapos yung mga kantang Pinoy, the best. Creepy na ewan na astig. Basta. Gwapo si Basti, yon yon. Razorback - Eto pang isa. Iba ang dating ng mga Tagalog nilang kanta. Maingay pero ang sarap pakinggan. Astig yung mga guitar riffs nila. Pang headbang talaga. Hindi gaya ng mga Slapshock and the like, maingay na nakakabingi yung sa Slapshock and the like (tutal, ibang genre nga naman sila), pero yung sa Razorback, takte, iba talaga. Grunge. Tapos yung boses nung bokalista, hindi whiny, gets? Yung ibang grunge kasi whiny na mataas yung boses pero yung sa Razorback, mababa yung boses tapos straight to the point lang. Basta astig. The Youth - Sino ba naman ang makakalimot sa The Youth na nagpauso ng Multong Bakla? Hindi ako! Dahil inaraw-araw ako ng kanta na yan nung mainstream nyan! Halos maging pambansang awit ko na yan eh. Kinikilala ko ang The Youth bilang pillars ng rock music scene ng Pinas. Well, para saken since nung 90s eh wala pa kasi sa peak ng pagiging teenager ko. Juan dela Cruz - Takte, nanghinayang talaga ako nung nagkaroon ng parang reunion show sila Mike Hanopol. Alam ko di ko panahon 'tong JDC at baka sabihin nyo ang poser ko naman pero kinalakihan ko ang mga kanta nila, pramis. Eto ang official band ng aming pamilya pag hinahatid kami ng koste naming old school nung mga bata pa kami sa school. Divisoria, Titser Enemy no.1, etcetera, at kaming magkakapatid eh sinasabayan 'tong mga kantang 'to. Except yung pangalawa kong kuya. Boyband/Girlband ang trip non. Tungaw - Puro kagaguhan lang yung mga kanta nila pero para sa akin, sila yung unang komedyante ng music scene bago ang pagsulpot ng PnE. Yun nga lang, di sumikat ng todo. The Teeth - Sino ba ang makakakalimot sa kantang, Laklak? Ilang taon na ang nakakaraan eto pa rin ang ultimate drinking song! Tapos alam ko rin yung kanta na Sikat na si Pedro pero di ko kilala yung artist (Philippine Violators pala). Pag naging mahusay akong musikera, icocover ko 'to! At kung maging sikat at mahusay akong musikera, kakantahin ko 'to! Color it Red - Shempre, unang girl rock band para saken ang Color it Red. Pioneer, kumbaga. Siakol - Mga kanta nito ang cinover ng pinsan ko at ang kanyang may sayad na banda nung garage band pa sila. Ang mga kanta nila ang gumigising saken pag nagbabakasyon ako sa probinsya at may practice ang kanilang banda. At shempre ang mga going strong hanggang ngayon na bands na nagsimula nung 90s: Parokya ni Edgar - Pero parang naging sell out sila nung gumawa sila ng Rexona theme song. Ewan ko lang kung kinuha lang ng Rexona yung 1st Day Funk or ginawa nila yon for Rexona. Kahit ano pa man, walang katulad ang humor ng PnE. Ten years and counting. Rivermaya - Kahit wala na yung old members nila, okay pa rin yung mga kanta nila, until naging theme song ng isang soap opera ang kanta nila at cinover ni Luke Mijares ang 214 (Badtrip talaga! P&^(#^%$(@^^A talaga!), hindi pa rin maaalis ang katotohanan na 90s rock band ang Rivermaya. Minsan tuloy naisip ko, sana highschool ako nung 94 and so on years. Siguro mas lalong dama ko ang 90s pinoy rock music scene. Kung sabagay, marami rin naman magagandang banda ngayon gaya ng Imago, Bamboo (galing Rivermaya), Sugarfree, Cambio, Kapatid (galing P.O.T. si Karl Roy), at marami pang iba. Tapos yung iba pang mga indie na talaga namang napakahuhusay. Sana hindi sila maging sellout. Eto na ang bago kong project. Icompile ang best songs para saken nung 1990s! This will be the ultimate appreciation of rock music na gagawin ko sa tanan ng buhay ko. To the 90s! *clink* 15 | The ghost of Christmas past

I hope you'll find your way again [24 Jun 2005|10:34pm] [ mood | grateful ] [ music | The Cranberries|Disappointment ] I have been to two rallies - EDSA II and the Iraq rally. One of my mom's foremost warning before I embarked on the journey that is college is to never attend rallies knowing how bloody these things can be. So I was really careful in which rallies to attend. I didn't pass in attending EDSA II rally because it was a time of unity, a time to realize that hey, we can actually agree on one thing, a time to realize that the Philippines is a democratic country through and through. Besides, EDSA II was history in the making, something that will be recorded in the pages of time to be told from one generation to the next and I wanted to be part of that history. I wanted to finally feel that I am a Filipino. I attended the Iraq rally because I felt that I have to make a stand, one way or another. It was a worldwide issue. At that time, there was the threat of a world war and I wanted to actively participate in telling America NO WAR. But the rally proved to be futile. Despite worldwide protests, America went to war with Iraq. And now there's the civil unrest in regards with "Gloriagate" and other PGMA issues. Civil unrest might be too strong for a descriptive word but I don't know how to be politically correct, so there. Anyway, another ousting of a president. Just like the old times. I'm no fan of the President. I don't approve of her policies and since she sat on the presidential seat, the economy just worsened, the poor gets poorer, and the terrorism threats only gets scarier. Her office said that there were jobs made, that foreign investors are coming in, etcetera etcetera. But no matter how much they tried to put her and her administration in the good light, the people can't feel it. They can't even see it. The people now wants to oust her because she didn't reach up to the people's expectations. More importantly, she's said to have cheated the last elections and that's something that the nation won't take without defiance. And now the people wants her out. But I wonder if ousting a president will bring the solution we are waiting for so long. When the country ousted Erap, we thought it will be a new start but that was proven to be a wishful thinking because the nation is in its worse now than during the term of Erap. I want change, too. And I guess it's safe to assume that the nation wants change, too. The girl who invited us to join the rally in one of my classes was right. This time, it might be a start of a new day. If we won't act now, if we won't demand for change now, where will it leave us? I believe in the ideals set forth by those who come together and rally. But I guess the only common thing between them and I are the ideals we believed in. As they go and burn under the sun, demanding change, I sat here, read the newspaper and watch. They are the active social participants while I'm the passive bordering to apathetic participant. But this doesn't mean that I don't care. I guess I just believe that there are other ways to express the nation's sentiments than rallies and mobilizations. I put in high regard these men and women who spent their time in the streets sacrificing their day jobs, among other things, to let the government know that it's not doing it's job well enough to cater to the needs of people not belonging to the status-quo. I admire their passion and maybe when I see it fit once again to join rallies, I just might attend one soon. Your brutal honesty was and is one of the things that made you different from all the other people I have met. You have this gift to express your point clearly and not all have the courage to spill their guts. I'm sorry if I hurt you one way or another but those were never premeditated. I've said and it before and I'll say it again, cliche as it may sound, I could find no other words to say thanks for everything. 16 | The ghost of Christmas past

You thought your problems were gone [17 Jun 2005|11:23pm] [ mood | restless ] [ music | AAR|Swing swing ] After having this blog for almost a month, I still haven't done anything to make this a spanking journal of sorts. Oh yeah, remind me to give Han hella thanks for the big BIG favor. I mean, even if it's ain't for free (wink, wink), she still did the MI favor. Swell. I'm physically beat right now but my mind is working overtime. Overrides is like math and chemistry combined that's why I don't have the time or the patience to study them out and do a layout with a sidebar. But if I have the privelege of DSL connection and endless time, I just might have the patience to learn overrides and create the most outrageous layout. But as of now, that's a wishful thinking. Now I'm on my senior year (although not exactly my last year) in college, I promise to do all the things that I haven't done before like hanging out with my college friends, attending those Psych night parties, joining a prestigious Psych org, joining an org that is of my interest, joining all sorts of things that perks my interest, and just plain getting the best from college. Gatdamit. Thizizit. Because E can now pronounce my name... Here's something for you, Nephew E! 4 | The ghost of Christmas past
