I had totally NO plan to update my blog, since I'm just wandering around the Net and doing some research for that Bio Mushroom project thingy (grr..!), when I just tried it. Sabi kasi dati under construction pa raw, but it's just UNBELIEVABLE! Right before my eyes..Ah, at last.



Okay. Enough with the suspense.


St. Scho Marikina has a website na! Yes, check it out. http://sssam.edu.ph

starting today, there are no more classes...Whee!
Anyway, the funny thing is, yesterday, people (lalo na sa class namin) were promising to give gifts next year (!). But that's totally fine. Naiintindihan ko ang mga taong broke. (Ehem. ehem.) I am actually saved by my biological mother when it comes to those kinds of situations. Hehe.
I've actually opened some presents na. Weird thing is - I've already received two (or three yata) gifts na Hello Kitty. What's up with that? But I appreciate all gifts. Kahit yung mga hindi pa nabubuksan. Thought pa lang...ayos na. :)

Kaya nyo pa ba to? 4 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!


Oh, the program yesterday (post-Mass) was fab. That's all.


May Vox account na rin ako! (In case you didn't notice, I'm a blog or sites in general signing-up addict.)
http://bombardment.vox.com

Finally!
Tomorrow will be our last day! Pure joy! Well, I still have some things to do and negotiate, but that's just fine, since starting tomorrow....it's heaven! Christmas vacation is kinda long so there's lotsa time to do those projects assigned for the break (Man! Hanggang ngayon pa ba?!). Well at least, there's my birthday, Jesus's birthday (excited!) , and 2007 coming up. Are those exhilarating or what?

interruption: Check out British band Muse. The band is not a mainstayer on my list (haha) unlike The Click Five, Chicosci, Hale, Spongecola, My Chemical Romance, McFly, yadda yadda - but they sure are good! Once you absorb their music, it's just magic! Just the intro of Super Massive Black Hole kind of brings you into a 70's disco haven, and the emo Starlight is nothing short of a heavenly, magical, and one-of-a-kind tear-jerker. Come on!

Okay, back to normal.

Q & A: What do you think of bands who re-invent? Whaddya think? Good, or image-breaking? Tell me. I need your opinion.! Thank you.
Wait a sec. Speaking of bands, Chicosci has already released their repackaged self-titled album! Whee! And this week, the video of Seven Black Roses will be premiered na (Myx, I think.). Go koskee!


Anne Brashares is done with the 4th book of the Sisterhood. It will be released Jan 07. Wanna read it na! I've read book 2 twice, planning to read book 3 again, and read the very first (yes, backwards is the way it goes), though. But it doesn't matter, as long as I will be able to retain and absorb the books.




I just wish tomorrow will be a good day. There's gonna be a Mass, and a program as well (With Glee Club, Dance Club, STP). And I hope the Class Xmas Sharing will be okay. Or else...haha, wala lang.




Can't go on any further. Still have things to do, as I've said earlier.

Things (and people) were rambling about lately....Cha-cha, con-ass, con-con..blah-blah. Even in school. Projects, long tests (haha, the usual)squeezed this week since classes end next week (Wednesday), issues, gossip here and there, you know the drill.

Oh, and we had this concert "Himig ng Kababaihan", a fundraising project by Zonta Club. If you weren't there, just wait for my article in Blue Heights about it. (Seriously, if I'll type, the post would be ttooooo long!) The bands are not famous yet, but they're up-and-coming. It was a hell of a concert! Sa susunod ulit kapag may variety/fair para pumayag na ang managers ng BIG bands na mag-perform dahil medyo mahal na ang bayad kasi may talent fee na...hindi na fundraising. I know, I sound like an organizer (and it's not yet even that certain if we're going to have such event) but I'm saying this for spreading optimism. Yeah, right. Whatever.

*+ 1 week till someone's birthday. *+

Am gonna have better posts when things and my condition get better. Christmas vacation, maybe?


10 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!

We all have heard about the havoc Reming wreaked in Albay, other parts of Region 5 and Marinduque. Grabe. Traumatic. If I experienced that...baka namatay na ako sa takot! Eeeek!
Poor people. I mean, how could they rebuild their lives? Mud covered the place. Nilipad pati bubong ng bahay. Even more devastating and hard-to-swallow fact, people, animals and properties are buried underneath the mud from Mayon Volcano. That's right.
Thank God Metro Manila was spared from disaster. C'mon, Milenyo was 'nuff! Buti we were not affected kaya matutulungan natin sila. How can we help them if we are panicking here ourselves??!

***

Anyway, buti na lang at guilty si Daniel Smith na accused sa Subic rape case! Mas masaya sana kung pati si Chad Carpentier. Sayang. See more of my reactions in my multiply account.
Finally, there was (even partial) justice for Nicole. Long live Filipinas! Putek na VFA yan. (Woah, SS.) We are being NEOCOLONIZED by the USA! Walanghiya. Right under our noses! Military tactics. Military form of neocolonialism!

Now I'm mad.

I don't get why Chinese critics consider her as a shame for China whatsoever. I mean, she's pretty, smart, kind-hearted...
...Lucky guy Ruben Nepales (the Inquirer's 'Man in Hollywood') got to meet her! They're friends na nga eh. *sigh*
Look at preeetttyyyy Ziyi Zhang! ^^
I haven't watched The Banquet yet, but I absolutely will.

******

Today is world AIDS prevention day. Go and sit in front of the telly, search for MTV, and watch the awesome video of "Future" by Dictalicense and Urbandub. Looove the red-crayon effect!

In the past days, I just can't keep gushing about these songs. Actually, even until now. they kind of make me cry. as in.

Waltz

Hale

I hate the way you are

So mean to me by far

The most frigid girl

That i have ever known

You speak loudly, but

When i'm not around

You'll be just like them

So shallow and obnoxious

Please...

That's enough (2x)

Please...I've said this a million times before

And i'm sick

But all that i need

And all that i bleed

And all that i care for

Is you

You said that you'd call

But time you'll be at home

But you never did

You said you did mean to

Now i'm outraged

As if we're engaged

You made me realize

I'm just your alibi

Please...

That's enough (2x)

Please...

I've said this a million times before

And i'm sick

But all that i need

And all that i bleed

And all that i care for

Is you

And all that i need

And all that i bleed

And all that i care for

Is you

I hate you..

Seven Black Roses

Chicosci

When i leave

I wanna wait for the silence

You gave me all you've got

And now i stand here waving to you

But still you smile

You're still looking back

Maybe i just wasn't kind enough

I'm fighting urges to fall again

Yet i stumble

Yet i stumble

These roses died three days since

Black roses died we said goodbye

These roses died three days since

I'm sorry, i miss you

How do i remain complete

When all we bled is lost

We could've burned the earth and sky

A second chance, the seconds spent

Each other's shadow, should've known

I'm fighting urges to fall again

Yet i stumble

Yet i stumble

These roses died three days since

Black roses died we said goodbye

These roses died three days since

I'm sorry, i miss you

Hear this, i'm yours

I'm at your feet

Hear this, i'm yours

I'm at your feet

These roses died three days since

Black roses died we said goodbye

These roses died three days since

I'm sorry, i miss you

Chicosci already shot the video for this...and I can't wait! Listen to the song here or here.

*****

There are officially no classes today...and I hate it (!). Dapat ngayon kasi yung Culminating Activity ng English Month (I'm still excited even though we'll not perform dahil 2nd lang kaming marma...still OK, though, because we so worked hard for it and I think we deserve it) and the Zonta concert! :(

Anyway. Ayoko rin may bagyo.

highlights of the week:
-Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao TKOed Erik 'El Terible' (poor guy, he's so thin)Morales (2nd time around) but this time, it's for 3 rounds of punches only. Manny, you so made the country proud. (He arrived here a while ago). We watched it live at RP (well, for experience). The beginning fights were kinda boring, especially for a sports moron like me, except that of Brian Viloria. But it was a draw. Boo-hoo.
Then the time for the real fight began. I was so nervous! Haha..then, it was only beginning when all the men started standing, screaming and all.
And so he won.
-We are SO busy for the Booklandia presentation!
-Grand play of Arte Etra and the ballet show. Both were fab!

Am very excited on the 30th - fund raising concert of Zonta Club! I already bought my ticket and am so going. Haha...Mrs. Bariuan said she doesn't know who will perform...but as far as she knows, there will be three, two of which have already been in the business, officially(they released albums na raw) and one is still striving.
But whatever. I love bands. I'm not that picky.

TGIF!

38 days till Noel. Very excited. Are you? Don't tell me you aren't.

Oh, btw, THE BLUE HEIGHTS FIRST ISSUE WAS FINALLY RELEASED. After ten years. Finally.


So how did you find the paper? ;)

this is my last post for the sembreak. am so SAD that it's going to be over (last day tomorrow, 2nd sem kicks off monday!). And to think about those test scores makes me shiver.
and where is justice? the GS students will resume classes on Thursday. C'mon, there's still a difference three days can make. waahh.

I am currently posting on boards, especially at teentalk. I love it.


Koolasas, see you at school on Monday. :)

good thing even though our browser is not working properly(making me unable to update my multiply and LJ accounts), i was able to read this:

taken from seventeen usa (Hey, just bear with other interview extras since we don't read Seventeen USA. Duh.)

Miss Seventeen just wouldn't be the same without its theme song Just the Girl by The Click Five. Lead singer and guitarist Eric Dill sounds off on his band's newfound fame, his new love - and his thoughts on the Miss Seventeen finalists!
By Lauren Brown

17: How have you dealt with the band's popularity? It must be strange having all these girls trying to meet you.
ED: It's a little weird, because you could be walking down the street wanting to get something to eat, and a bunch of girls jump out of nowhere and want pictures and stuff. You're just a person with your own agenda, but you have to realize you have to take a little time, and it's just a few seconds out of your day. The fans might never meet or see me again, so it's important to make a good impression.
17: Have you had any experiences with fans going a little overboard?
ED: A girl and her mom followed our bus for hours until we stopped. When we finally did, the girl ran out of her car and onto our bus--the door was unlocked--and took pictures. I was sleeping at the time, but that was really inappropriate!
17: Being on the road so much, is it possible to have a girlfriend?
ED: When you're on the road it's hard to develop a relationship. I can say that I have a girlfriend. Her name is Lucy Walsh. She was the keyboardist for Ashlee Simpson's band--I met her when we were on the road with Ashlee. So it's really exciting and she's amazing. I'm just really into her. At first I thought, How can I do this relationship on the road? But then I want to do it.
17: One more girl question. What are your thoughts on the Miss Seventeen finalists Jessica and Jennifer?
ED: Jessica is quiet, but sometimes quiet can be many things. I think it was great for her to come on the show and learn how to express herself more. Jen is exciting to be around, and people are attracted to that. It's a plus for her accomplishments. Without the support of her parents, it must have been really difficult for her to find her own way. They both have their strengths.


Well, it's seems like he's really happy with Lucy(oh, and she was the girl holding the Nokia 3250 in the Catch Your Wave video). As we click five fans say (through the tc5 message boards), if he's happy, then we're happy. it's ok to get a bit jealous, but support the band members' decisions.




Now that's true fanaticism. ;)

In case you haven't noticed, I have been posting different lyrics of songs - mostly angsty. Not that it's bad or what, but I just want to put something different - a song which we can all reflect on. (Oh, if only the cruel people who contribute to the destruction of Mother Earth could absorb the song!) This is one of the songs (and videos) I and my sister used to watch when I was about Prep, together with other amazing performances and works of the artist.
Oh yeah, this was also the opening prayer (interpreted by the Dance Club) of last year's Ecology Month Celebration.

Earth Song

Michael Jackson

What about sunrise?

What about rain?

What about all the things

That you said we were to gain...?

What about killing fields?

Is there a time?

What about all the things

That you said were yours and mine?

Did you ever stop to notice

All the blood we've shed before?

Did you ever stop to notice

This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

Chorus:

Aaaaaaaaaahh...... Ooooooooohh......

Aaaaaaaaaahh...... Ooooooooohh.......

What have we done to the world?

Look what we've done

What about about all the peace

That you pledge your only son...?

What about flowering fields?

Is there a time?

What about all the dreams

That you said were yours and mine?

Did you ever stop to notice

All the children dead from war?

Did you ever stop to notice

This crying earth, these weeping shores?

Chorus

I used to dream

I used to glance beyond the stars

Now I don't know where we are

Although I know we've drifted far

Chorus

Hey, what about yesterday?

(What about us)

What about the seas?

(What about us)

The heavens are falling down

(What about us)

I can't even breathe

(What about us)

What about the bleeding Earth?

(What about us)

Can't we feel it's wounds?

(What about us)

What about nature's worth ?

(Oooh, oooh)

It's our planet's womb

(What about us)

What about animals?

(What about us)

We've turned kingdoms to dust

(What about us)

What about elephants?

(What about us)

Have we lost their trust?

(What about us)

What about crying whales?

(What about us)

We're ravaging the seas

(What about us)

What about forest trails?

(Oooh, oooh)

Burnt despite our pleas

(What about us)

What about the holy land?

(What about it)

Torn apart by creed

(What about us)

What about the common man?

(What about us)

Can't we set him free?

(What about us)

What about children dying?

(What about us)

Can't you hear them cry?

(What about us)

Where did we go wrong?

(Oooh, oooh)

Someone tell me why

(What about us)

What about babies?

(What about it)

What about the days?

(What about us)

What about all their joy?

(What about us)

What about the man?

(What about us)

What about the crying man?

(What about us)

What about Abraham?

(What about us)

What about death again?

(Oooh, oooh)

Do we give a damn?

And other times I feel like I should go

And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets

And when you're gone we want you all to know....

We'll carry on, we'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

And in my heart I can't contain it

The anthem won't explain it...

so the cruel days of torture, migraine and eyebags(more known as exams), were over just a while ago. all i am now is a person with LSS over my chemical romance's welcome to the black parade. oh, gerard, what's with the blonde (not to mention cropped!!) hair. i won't talk about the exams. basta sembreak na! anong exams??!! (hehe, tapos devastation sa nov 6 dahil sa scores...eek!)
i came from rp with my friend rachelle (nov.1 bday blowout) but she saw her clique, peshmenn, and other classmates. i saw my own kabarkadas as well:
-one of my main kabarkadas hana
-one of my BH kabarkadas kring. (sabi ko na nga ba, nasa rp ka! the grudge.ahehe)

we watched world trade center. it's damn suspenseful..and kind of freaky. in a way. you know, the traumatic actions of the victims, and all. urgh. there is no way a world war iii could happen. *freaky.*

chit-chat: ym: patrizia_marcelo

saya!

so this is called part 2. haha. we were again at rp...mamaya na yun.(so obviously my mom was just having mood swings like i presumed, and i was allowed!) ung sa kalumpang elementary school scenario..uh, we were not that fortunate to win. oh, yeah the others. it's me..haha. hindi ako umabot kahit 10th place..kasi eleventh ako..hehe joke,.congrats na lang sa mga nanalo...ehem, ehem, kring, ragene, sheana, my classmate bea(wow!), aby, kring t., lyka,etc. oh, god, and roseanne. 1st place...pagsulat ng lathalain! kaka-elibs. she wrote daw about love about god according to the emcee. (Topic is pag-ibig something.) well, ganyan talaga ang benediktina.

may next two years pa para makabawi ako. you never know. haha, nababaliw na ako.

but everything, even disappointments of the seniors, burst like bubbles when we went to RP. sheana, ragene, kring and i had so much fun. again...

SO...


MUCH....


FUN.....!!!


nagkahiwalay-hiwalay na kami ng ibang BH members. so kumain kaming apat sa picture city.haha, goth pics! papa-frame ko yun. joke. oh my god, nag-gig ung sandwich, and the crowd was even worse than that of chicosci's! urgh. the crowd gives me vertigo, not exactly the band. i have nothing against sandwich, but they're not my fave either. but the crowd, omg! like a stampede. i mean, where are their manners??

ok, let's change that. we shopped (um, actually not me, only ragene and kring, and sheana bought cp load). RP was so congested (sale kasi).

bitin lang. sobra. kailangan pa ng more bonding time. grabe. if i could only go back kanina. sobra. we talked about, like everything.


quotable quote.guess who, pero keep it to yourself na lang. haha.

"i just wanna pee. that's all i wanna do."


:)

i am going to cry in bed. yeah, it's like my ritual. i cry about 5 minutes after i drop myself in bed whenever i am sad. i'm not iyakin. but i easily get swept away, or get touched, unlike my sister who cries at reprimands but freaks out when i am on the verge of tears in the climax of a chick flick or a poignant movie.
the reason of course is the uncertainty of my participation in the division press conference awarding (like i would win, but at least to witness the success of my fellow bh members) and the bonding at RP. waaahh. i am serious. it would not make my mom change her mind (um, she'd have dozed off already) but at least i could let the sadness out...

*************************************

i once learned in an old episode of that's so raven (fantastic show!) that if you're mad at a person, instead of throwing pillows, breaking things, waste your voice, and frown, write a letter to that person (the character said he learned it from oprah). say anything you like so at least you can release the madness without hurting the person indirectly.but you just dispose the letter and face the problem afterwards. i tell you, it works.

sample: (am really mad at a person right now! she's a schoolmate..details in the letter below)

dear ___,

i don't even get the rationality why i'm mad at you! it's not your fault, it's mine, really...but why?? you accidentally do it, but you're hurting me! my madness is irrational........but it's not my fault i feel it deep down! the reason why i'm mad at you is super private and even not accepted in our culture.har. blame it on my hormones! but i'm really, really mad at you. it's abnormal , but i loathe you (or at least right now). please stop it. i can't take it anymore. but how can you if what you do is not even wrong?! I HATE YOU EVEN MORE because you are unconscious about it! you have been so nice to me, but what is none of my business is hurting me! argh!

from the insecure one (ouch)

i did not overuse the puncts like before since i'll be violating the rule thou shalt not pick on the puncts in steven frank's the pen commandments.


ps. good night, everyone.

i'm not okay (i promise)

my chemical romance

Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go,it's better off this way
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay,I'm not okay
I'm not okay, you wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay) I told you time and time again you sing the words (I'm not okay),but don't know what it means
To be a joke and look another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook
For the last time, take a good hard look
I'm not okay, I'm not, okay
I'm not okay, you wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book
But the pages all are torn and frayed (out)
I'm okay, I'm o-kaaayyy
I' m okay now (I'm okay now)
But you really didn't listen to me, because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this I'm okay- trust me
I'm not okay I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay, I'm not oh fu**ing-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay (okay)

in the meantime, while i'm waiting for their new album the black parade (to be released this month..with explicit content, as usual), i'm digging this song (well, ever since) together with a song off their new album: welcome to the black parade.

field trip and baaaddd news

i came from our field trip a while ago. what can i say? oh, it was fun. not the fun i mean destination-related, ok? the fun that is class-fun and bonding-fun. get me? i mean, look at our destinations:
=avilon zoo
=national museum
=paco catholic school for "the little prince" (supposedly at megamall for "joseph the dreamer", but jtd was only performed until sept. 30.)
interesting?
yeah, right.
but come on! those are places we can like, go to in a blink of an eye (exaggerating). we're not requesting for something really far, but at least like my sister and other intermediate grade schoolers who went to laguna. shee. lucky people.

i think the pictures will do, but am going to upload it some other time since our you-know-what computer is being you-know-what. am too sad to write! because of my stupidity and laziness, i got 'semi-grounded'. (i put those puncts since there is no such thing. or is there?) so the consequence is...

blue heights members, read:
i, patrizia marcelo, might not be able to go on friday at our awarding and lakwatsa. :(

wait. why am i telling you that??? (um, world to patrizia: you are nothing of importance in the club. i mean, the club can go on without you. duh.)

so the grief is just with me.

PS. had new haircut.

to the max!

the ateneo blue eagles may have only attained the second highest place in UAAP season 69, i am so happy. yeah! you all rock, especially jc intal, macky escalona, doug kramer, chris tiu and jai reyes! ayos pa rin. sobrang astig ung game 1. kramer, you're a superhero!! haha. eniweis, congrats na lang sa uste. sobrang asaran sa marma. ATENEO! USTE! sinabi ngang ateneo...e uste nga..tae naman.

haha

i am so embarrassed,, i only realized it now, i have some wrong lyrics in chicosci's a promise! agh. i'll correct it some other time, you know naman the right lyrics diba..hhaaahha.

it was sooo fun in BH kanina! grabe. kahit pamatay ung topic namen ni ate kring. "write a feature article about the gains of education" chuvaness..ung secret..sshh! ahehe..salamat nga pala sa libre ha. ang saya ng club..kahit sumakay kami sa dyip, sobrang siksikan. sa rp! grabe. sa timezone..percussion master ulit! tsaka lost world, kasama rin si ate sheana. haha..candy corner...ang saya naman nung uwian. signs, signs!
my god, ung seniors, wag kayong aalis ha. lol.

sa friday naman, sa awarding ceremony..kahit hindi pupunta lahat...may sale sa rP..may usapan na ha.

rock on!

we were from RP and i just caught sight of chicosci!! THIRD OPM band i saw in person. i know they're purveryors of screamo music, but their music makes a lot of sense. i did not catch up with the autograph signing and picture taking, however, because it was too crowded..too many jologs people around and the line was sooo long. :(
note: i'm narrating this since i don't have a pic...unlike with the hale experience. Ü
i was also very far away. we saw many people peeping with their heads down, so me and my family were, "there must be some show." my sis and i hurried to look, and though she dislikes the band, she told me with utmost enthusiasm, "chicosci!" i looked and proved to myself that one of my fave OPM bands is going to have a show. i screamed. my 'rents could not understand. "what?!!"
"CHICOSCI! opm band!! ahhh!"
"uh..ok.."

we were at chef d' angelo and i heard a promise. (lyrics below). i thought the show started. i couldn't eat my pasta properly. i hurried that i almost choked my food out. :p
when my sister went to look, she went back to the resto laughing. "ano ba...hindi pa nga nagsisimula.." which made me laugh. "god! i hurried to eat and it did not start yet??!!"

my mom and sis left us at the ground floor to find pants for my sis.they stayed with us for a while then proceeded to the supermart.
like any other performer at mall gigs, they were late..around 2 hours! so many goth-like kanto kids were there. swear. (no wonder we saw jeepneys in the parking area). i do not tend to discriminate, ok? but the poeple from taytay were just WILD. i do not wanna get into details, but that is all i can say. marikenos and marikenas DO NOT behave that way.

but anyway, the front act was the band narda. i think they did well. when miggy, mong and the other members got up the stage, it was history.

miggy jumped. he was so cute when he did that. he even chanted some lines of stars; the crowd screamed and he said,"hindi kami yun eh..mas pogi samen ung mga un.." haha.

mong was also energetic, as well as the other members.
a promise was of course the best performance. i could not help but jump and sing along. :D

comments:

dad: ang gulo ng mga bata..hindi taga marikina ung mga un!
mom: ang ingay pala nun!
my reply: i warned you earlier...
my sis: (as usual) yuck. grabe. kakaloka ka ate.
my reply: whatever!

a promise

chicosci

Now you are my beloved ghost

And here i'll wait for you to sing

Then we will have eternity

A promise to keep haunting me

This wine

From my veins

These gifts

We'll take

The sky is ours to keep tonight

Together in this silent sleep

We are the mist that fills the air

Lie still, just be with me

This wine

From my veins

These gifts

We'll take

And i'll be

The kiss

The gun

We'll be draining their blood again

Embrace the rest of me

Well be gracing through the night

Again, embrace the rest of me

And then we'll feast on them, celebrating

I'm not alone

I can feel your eyes on me

I'm not alone

Your soul for all the world to see

Denied another day

Life took you away...I love you just the same

Cause you are my beloved ghost

And here i'll wait for you to sing

Then we will have eternity

A promise to keep haunting me

The sky is ours to keep tonight

Together in this silent sleep

We are the mist that fills the air

Lie still, just be with me

I'm not alone

I can feel your eyes on me

I'm not alone

Your soul for all the world to see

too much to handle

it's the issuance of cards today. don't even ask me about it, my average will hardly reach 88. our adviser said that there are 9 honor students in our class. like i would ever be included. yes, it's nine, but wait til you see my FRICKIN' REPORT CARD.

could life be any more depressing?

and now, there's no better thing to do than study hard(aside from putting your headphones on to release all those stress!), which i failed to do (obviously).


the only realistic thing that will make me elated is the release of a thing i and my fellow kulasas worked hard for: BLUE HEIGHTS.


which, as you all know, haven't arrived yet.


so my life's like this.



when can my own superman arrive? ya know, the real one.

seryoso na to

i am REALLY going to change my template. don't wait for it, it's nonsense! but anyway. you can have a new eye candy instead of my insubstantial posts.

PS. ang lamig dito sa rock island! brr. ;)

sige, kanta na

And isn't this exactly where you'd like me

I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know

Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety

Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I

'm exactly where you'd like me, you know

- But It's Better If You Do by Panic! at the Disco-

I'm having the day from hell,

It was all going so well (before you came)

And you told me you needed space,

With a kiss on the side my face (not again)

And not to mention (the tears I shed)

But I should have kicked your (ass instead)

I need intervention

Attention to stop temptation to scream

Cause baby

Everything is fed up straight from the heart

Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart

Gotta pick myself up where do I start

Coz I can't turn to you when it all falls apart, no

-When It All Falls Apart by The Veronicas-

Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?

Don't put words up in my mouth

I didn't steal your boyfriend

Hey, how long till you face what's goin' on

Cause you really got it wrong

I didn't steal your boyfriend

-Boyfriend by Ashlee Simpson-

You've got this new head filled up with smoke

I've got my veins all tangled close

To the jukebox bars you frequent

The safest place to hide

A long night spent with your most obvious weakness

You start shaking at the thought you are everything I want

'Cause you are everything I'm not

-Make Damn Sure by Taking Back Sunday-

Do your thang honey!

Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you

Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do (what you do).

You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon

You got soul, you got class

You got style with your bad ass - oh yeah!

Ain't no other man its true - all right - Ain't no other man but you

-Ain't No Other Man by Christina Aguilera

yet again

it has been again one tiring week. i'm planning to give my blog a revamp. i'm so LAZY to get a really nice one, so i'm gonna stick to the instant templates! haha.
today is the field trip of the seniors. I don't even wanna talk about it. IT IS NOT FAIR. the graders went to LAGUNA and we are going to avilon zoo, sm megamall (!) and national museum. at least the seniors can go the LIGHTS AND SOUNDS, which is like,amazing. but whatever.

anyway.may HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL DANCE-ALONG mamaya. that would be good enough to ease all my stresses.

napanalo namin toh! whee!

sabayang pagbigkas years i and ii

ang nais mo'y pilipinong maamo at masunurin

nakayuko't sukung-suko sa harap ng manunupil

ang hangad ko'y pilipinong may karakter at may giting

may sariling pagkukusa sa pagtuklas ng mithiin

ang nais mo'y pilipinong natatakot magsalita

kiming-kiming magsiwalat ng damdamin, kuro't diwa

ang hangad ko'y pilipinong umaawit, tumutula

at malayang naghahangad ng pangarap at adhika

magkaibang pilipino

ang nais mo at hangad ko

ang nais mo ay lipunang matahimik, walang imik

lipunan ng mga pipi at aliping walang tinig

ang hangad ko ay lipunang sa harap ng manlulupig

ay marunong makibaka't kung kailangan'y maghimagsik

lipunan mo'y kaiba

**god, clare din pala nanalo sa first year nito. double victory, mga section ko! haha**

in a hassle..again

just when i thought i was really born as a loser in this world for nothing really good in my life happens (like sitting here in the internet cafe with a stupid boy fu**ing me off by being so so mad at the really stupid basketball game he's playing), i smelled embarrassment a while ago (as usual) but hey - i smelled victory yesterday!

like in the case of ate lara and ate joan, st. margaret mary's victory was SO TOTALLY unexpected. the students from other sections kept telling us 'you won, you won', and we were like, ' oh, come on, as if we'll win. yeah, maybe but NOT first place. puh-lease. i mean, other sections like st. anne and st. lucy were so better than us.'
then of course, came the unexpected yesterday, when our section was mentioned. (in case you didn't notice, we were VERY NOISY, jumping up and down, yelling our hearts out.)
"when i say go, you say marma!"

"go!"

"marma!"


that's just me reminiscing.



pero nagkalat kami kanina(centennial song)..waha.

go st. elizabeth! pinaparinig pa lang saken nina jelle,rocella and angel yung song nila, hana and i were, 'wow, such an amazing song!' though st. irene won in the grand finals. congrats, ate macky!

please!

-pardon the insanity-
guys! you've been to different parts of the world. you'll be touring with mcfly around europe in the coming months!

so why can't you just go HERE?!!!

i'm gonna die.


i need yoouuu!

=it's so good to have my headphones here, tinkering with the computer, in the cafe as usual..can't stop listening to "i write sins, not tragedies" by panic! at the disco=

okay

so i've been in a sorta hiatus, but whatever.
nothing interesting in my life today except for the killer bio practical test. whoa! you're just about to analyze whether that stupid egg submerged in and detergent solution will bulge or shrink then that frickin' bell will go "ting,ting,ting!"
har. now i know why the older batches curse those practical tests...and bio is one of my highest subjects! i'm dropping my scores on almost every subject except for bio and english...and now...and now...i'm gonna..lose it??!!!!

but anyway. things have been so pressured lately. we're all stressing out.

and it's exams next week!!





oh, god, help me.

nothing

why is it that when i'm here having the chance to surf, i'm not in a writing mood??!!!
i just like to say, when things sorta fell into place last week, things messed up this week. grr.

and we've been really busy in blue heights, coz if you haven't heard, it's coming out monthly na.




anyway, thanks to all.

mwah!

nothing

chalamat

buti na lang at medyo matino-tino ang nangyari sa skul etong week, kahit na obviously, ngayon lang me nagupdate. la ganong palpak na quiz (sana ngaaa...) at medyo matitinong scores sa projects and groupworks. (phew..)
shocker nangyari sa blue heights! ako raw ba ang feature editor???? this is totally unbelievable. oy, at si ate macky, ed staff na rin. ayos to.
for the past week, i kept on embracing happenings. embracing things, i mean, painful realities, like my loss (!) for class president. (don't need to elaborate on that.) but it's yay, coz i'm an ordinary student. not SCO. not officer. yay! no, really. swear. it doesn't mean though, that i'll start violating rules. (of curz!)
i've been also embracing the fact that i have to declare this: i have to imagine more. about my future plans (like to write a critically-acclaimed novel).haha, especially on crushes. (celebs.) i mean, your age gap with those damn hot guys are like, kinda big. meaning, when you graduate from college and your chances for eloping with them got a little bit higher, they'll be, like, 30 (!) while you're a fresh new woman at 22. so chances are, at that age, they're bachelors no more, and ta-daah, they've eloped with someone who is either a) a hot female celeb, so very totally expected ; b) a fanatic like you, who had skyrocketed her luck, making you want to strangle her or c) the childhood/highschool girl bestie who had been there with him on his "unpopular days". and not only that. they're damn cuuutee and famous, while you're a high school student sitting on a corner coping up with grades, just staring at the computer screen for hours staring at his pic you saved on that precious place called my pictures. (ok, maybe kinda exagg.)
and mark twain said, "never part with your illusions.when you do that, you still lived, but you have ceased to exist." (not exact wordings.)

eniweis....
haha. sabi ko na nga ba maaadik ako sa high school musical. ano ba naman yan! hanep na kanta, hanep na stars, hanep na plot. soariiin.....flyiiing...............
mahal na mahal ko at ni rachelle ang channel [V] this june. click five to the max,, haha! (SKIP THIS PART IF YOU HATE THE BAND OR YOU GET ANNOYED BY MY FANATICISM.) eniweis, grabe. yung [V] special presents on the road with the click five(kinda like mtv all access), kaya lang sa malaysia naman. for the record, a 15-minute show with interview about the singer/band for the week (which was click five last week) about his/her/their music. astig. too bad it's the last day of june today, meaning the last day of the band being the spotlight artist of the month. waah...

chalamat sa lahat ng tagger/s ha..

pero gotta go. TC!! Ü

2nd week over

second week of sophomore year over. nothing humiliating or amazing so far. the only 'issue' in my life as of now is my candidacy for class president. (!) it's actually my first, and i mean first , time to be an officer! haha.
oh, and the blue heights screening a while ago was like, torture. take a look:
1. a vocabulary test with-gasp-120 items.
2. there were some info on manila paper. we have to make a short news article about those info.
3. make a feature article entitled "who am i?"

mrs. patrocinio is our new moderator. yup, we had to be screened even though we were already accepted last time, except ragene. haayy.
grabe, mas madali naman ung last SY. yung first, "write an article about yourself." , at yung second, "write a social issue which you think is timely and write your opinions about it." no more vocab tests.
bahala na.
ate macky and ate joan were also in the screening a while ago, btw.


oops, gtg. xoxo

108 free years

or so they thought. not really 108 years,because in those 108 years, the invasion by the japanese was there. and many more!

ha, basta! let's forget all those history facts. basta on june 12,1898, sa kawit, cavite, our independence was declared by then presi gen. emilio aguinaldo.


yun. happy independence day! kaya nga la pasok ngayon..whee! hehe. then it's school time once again tomorrow. hay. both a "yes" and a "boooo!" in my life.

school is here na

actually it's first week. nothing bad happened so far, except we were totally annoyed with all the assignments, groupworks and projects....all in the first week of classes! whew! well, we have to accept that this is sophomore year. i mean, not freshman year anymore.

in SCO issues: only kyra, my partner in the first year, ran for year II level rep. many are urging me to run, but...no thanks. (i'm sure though that many don't want me to.)really. god! campaigning (room to room) alone? can't take that.

anyway. we have met our teachers. and we had the club fair yesterday. oh, and we met our new high school principal and school directress, sister edna quiambao,osb. she seemed nice.

and i saw ate lara and ate joan at the canteen during the 2nd day..haha.... :)



yun na lang muna. hintay-hintay pa....wala pa namang bad happenings so far...hehe..

the last for the summer

i don't believe it!!! may pasok na bukas. maybe i sound weird for saying this (since i keep on whining why summer is over) but i am kind of excited. whoa! me? excited? but i'm actually more of nervous.

ang konti ng st. clare sa marma!i saw my classmates na. not bad. i think it's a weird but kinda cute combination of people in my class.

yesterday, we were at rachelle's. we had fun though though we were soo pissed off with the 2-hour brownout. really- it was so hot! for a few minutes we just stayed at their strada (i and lara went there first since my mom and dad will be late because my dad will get our car from toyota services in cubao) playing music. but we didn't do that for too long - gasoline, you know what i mean.
so that was my last summer bonding with her. we bonded by the phone a while ago, though,because we were really excited and elated with the MTV all access : the click five during their singapore promotional tour. i thought it was not going to be aired since the stupid MTV sked glimpse in the commercials did not include all access. then lo,- it was there. they caught the guys on cam eating sushi,playing in the arcade, practicing, and preparing for the night show.

P.S. i'm here in a new internet cafe. sa wakas, may web browser na dito. not seedy..sa ngayon. magiging seedy to some other time. japanese nga may-ari nito eh.

i don't like to go to school,...but i have to be optimistic or my pessimism might screw things up.

okay. see you in skul, mga peeps.

*sigh* here's for SY 06-07! :)

palapit nang palapit

una sa lahat, kudos kina katherine mcphee at ang AI winner na si taylor hicks. i actually like katherine better (each in our family did) but we knew it's gonna be taylor. he really pulled it off. my mom actually gets irritated when he , like bends or curls his body while hitting the high notes. god, 63 million votes- more votes than any US president got!

anyway, have you checked ate lara out? (it's her birthday!)


i was so elated with the new season of the oc. it's getting more exciting! (last season na..). marissa didn't have any regrets at all when she shot tray. i'm not the type who watched it from the start, but when i caught up some last episodes in season 2 (and got a background on the tangled love webs from internet/mag), i really thought it's a great soap.

music matters: rachelle, i and cousin ate april can't get enough of the click five! i really don't care how my sister insults the band and their music or how people say that they're a waste. i mean, that's a fanatic, right? you shouldn't care what other people say if you're a fanatic- their criticisms should even strengthen your fanaticism. i saw lead singer eric dill's cuuuutteee pic at starpulse. i'm still thinking if i should e-mail the pic to ate april - she might get nuts. (she's gaga over eric!) get to know how the band formed by clicking here.


palapit na nang papalapit ang school time! to tell the truth,..i'm NOT excited. first, hindi ko pa napapanood yung mga pelikulang gusto ko. ang dami, diba? ugh. and the things to do on the net!
it's just one week or so. i miss everyone around, but come on! homework, quizzes, projects, deadlines..

there's just too much.


i know it's kinda early but i'm so excited to watch high school musical!it was such a hit in the US. the songs, the dance steps, the story, the stars - i can't wait! 7: 30 of june 25 will be reserved for that. it has been said that it's like a grease edition for teens.




keep in touch lahat ha. para memorable yung last days of summer.

recovery

i don't feel it much now, but a while ago, i really have this heavy, stress-like feeling in me. the reasons might be...
=we watched poseidon at blue wave a while ago, and it's very adrenaline-pumping. (well, my constant sipping of my mocha frappucino from starbucks might have triggered my nerves to go wild, too.)
=there's less than a month and it's school time again. okay, i miss everyone but what about all those assignments and bio tests for my sophomore year?
=that also means less than a month to fix my blog, do last-minute surfing and all!
=an R-18 MTRCB rating for the da vinci code. could there be any worse rating than this? (ok probably x-rating, which is impossible.) and i saw the trailer almost a year before the showing, making me want to watch it instantly. oh, where's my aging potion from harry potter?


i really liked poseidon, though it made me so nervous! (nerbyosa talaga ako.) i can't imagine myself being in that situation! i loved the acting styles and scenes of emmy rossum and kurt russell. (but i liked them all.)


applause to rivermaya who bagged the award for favorite artist-philippines at the recent mtv asia awards bangkok 2006. they're not my fave, but they deserved it and they said that they want to share it with every pinoy band. cool. and when they performed "you'll be safe here", they even added tagalog lines to some lines of the song. i also loved tata young and lee ryan's duet. (the oldies song "endless love".)


ugh! i'm having a hard time uploading- i mean waiting for my dogs' pics to upload in dogster. the size of the pix are around 2 MB each, and the estimated time accdng. to the site for 2MB pix are about 2-4 minutes for DSL or cable and (gasp) 8 minutes for dial-up!!!!!!! phew. dial-up could be such torture!

yesterday we went to powerbooks. (megamall branch.) my dad had some kinda architecture book; my sis had "because of winn-dixie", a newberry honor book by kate dicamillo; and i had this young adult genre book entitled "confessions of a not it girl", a book by melissa kantor. as of now, i have three books on my belt!


i'm already enrolled and i belong in ii-st. margaret mary. i'm not contented: i wanna know who'll be my classmates! as of now, i only know that jessha b. is.


kudos to leo oracion and pastor emata, the two first pinoys who reached the summit of the super high and super cold mt. everest. and good luck to the ones who follow, i.e., romi garduce.


oops, i think we're gonna eat now.ta-ta for now!

:)

headbopping

"just the girl"

by the click five

She's cold and she's cruel

But she knows what she's doin'

She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion

She laughs at my dreams but I dream about her laughter

Strange as it seems she's the one I'm after

chorus:

Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

She can't keep a secret for more than an hour

She runs on 100 proof attitude power

And the more she ignores me the more I adore her

What can I do?

I'd do anything for her

repeat chorus

And when she sees it's me

On her caller ID

She won't pick up the phone

She'd rather be alone

But I can't give up just yet

Cause every word she's ever said is still ringin' in my head

Still ringin' in my head

She's cold and she's cruel

But she knows what she's doin'

Knows just what to say

So my whole day is ruined

repeat chorus

Cause she's bittersweet

She knocks me off of my feet

And I can't help myself, I don't want anyone else

She's a mystery

She's too much for me

But I keep comin' back for more

Oh, I keep comin' back for more

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

Just the girl I'm lookin' for

Just the girl I'm lookin' for

She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

Just the girl I'm lookin' for

Just the girl I'm lookin' for

i so love this song! though "catch your wave" is aired more often now, it's still the song that made the click five..uh, click. :) and catch your wave is even triggering people to like the band. and the music.

have you had their CD yet, greetings from imrie house? it's recieved good reviews from already 3 magazines as far as i've read. and another one from me. i love the album, can't turn off the stereo! hehe!

PS. it's been one year since our trip to bohol and cebu! oh, how i'd love to reminisce. i miss all those moments. :(

Ü keep posted y'all..summer's starting to drift away!

what could be a title for this post?!?

taken: april 28, 2006
:)
that's me(holding the new release- debut album of hale with bonus AVCD) with champ lui-pio of hale. the guy on sideview is omnie saroca, their drummer, and the smiling guy is probably someone who wants to ruin my pic. hehe, kidding! he's probably a bodyguard or what but my mom said, according to tita mae, he's champ's uncle. i'm not really sure.tita mae is the mom of my batchmate vernesia. they know someone who's related to champ. they have free backstage access! but she said that her daughter/s were shy to go near to hale up-close.
do i look starstruck, pathetic, or what?!?ate april thought so! she said i looked quite nervous, though she said she'd feel the same way too! one factor why i was like that coz i was shy..we went again! champ even said 'hey' when i got up. he remembered us! baka nakulitan yun ah. hehe! wag sana! rachelle, my sis lara and ate amy were even more starstruck! hehe! it's like things went fast- dentist appointment, ride in car, eat siopao from kowloon house, hurry to ground floor of RP, squeeze through, listen, take pics, sing, buy cd, line up. line up again, smash!, go. (we saw our batchmates monique, diane, reena, ela. oh, and incoming seniors, too!) .



see the whole story on my previous post entitled "Yihee".

too bad i can't upload it in friendster because it's 2.20 MB and friendster only accepts up to 1 MB. ugh.

stardoll is really cute!! i'm already a member and have put some stardolls in my album. cool! :)




special thanks to ate lara who recommended the "who's your movie star double?" test in tickle. her double is reese witherspoon- she seems happy with it.




Your movie star double is Drew Barrymore


Who's Your Movie Star Double?

Brought to you by Tickle

i was in a hurry last night so i wasn't able to post the description and all here. some are true about me, some are not. ha!


anyway. what do you think of summer closing its doors to give way to school time?

song i love now : just the girl by the click five

PS. so having a good time: candy magazine and neopets .

yihee

last saturday, tita tess, tito ramy, and ate amy arrived here at home. the next day, kuya raprap, his gf ate carina, and their son clarence arrived too.
what we did? during the first days of their short vacation here (they went home a while ago) we belt out songs on magic sing. hehe. we went to malls, watched DVDs, dressed up stars virtually on stardoll and just had fun.

thursday, april 27, we went to club manila east together with papa's buddies ninong rey and tito almer. raffy and ate rona went, too. we had so much fun, really.

on the way to club manila east, my mom pointed out the banner at RP screaming, "HALE: april 28, 5 pm." i wanted to watch though i'm not a hale fanatic. at CME i asked my mom if we could go. all she said was to have fun here, don't think of other things yet, finish your thing here, or something like that. i shook it off and reminded myself to ask again.

the next day (yesterday) rachelle went here in the house to hang out because she knew that ate amy & co. will be leaving. in the middle of laughs and playing PS my mom told me that she moved my orthodontist sked from 4:30 to 3:00 so that we can watch hale!
in RP, nakisiksik lang kami. we were some of the people who just squeezed behind railings! i still took pics and videos though it was exhausting; there were SO MANY people!
it was announced that there will be CD & poster signing and picture taking so we bought CDs! we even saw some of our batchmates. so there went sheldon, roll and omnie signing..then there was champ. he shook hands with me as he did to everyone and papa took a shot. we lined up again (together with the last batch) because we didn't have solo pics. why? ate amy and lara immediately went away. i guess they were kinda starstruck. we were able to take solo pics with champ anyway.they weren't snobs. oh and btw, champ held the back of each person who took a pic with him.(us included....!)
all i can say is...i'm starting to like hale in a higher degree now.. and of course, champ's really cute! :) hehe. but he's thinner in reality than on tv. swear.
PS. can't load our pics in CME and with champoy yet; computer's tooo slow today. maybe next time.
