buti ka pa

Wala akong magawa kagabi sa bahay.
Pagod na ko pero di pa ko makatulog.
1 am na, gising pa rin.
Wala na rin akong mapanood.
Wala ng mapakinggan kundi album ng cambio.
Paulit-ulit sa track # 7

"im not scared any more"

Ndi tulad mo..

Buti ka pa.. mahimbing na
Buti ka pa.. may unan pang kasama
Buti ka pa.. tulog na

letter # 3

dude

Musta na? di ka nanaman nag reply e, well ok lang un. i wasn't expecting naman. =)

By the way, if you are curious about the girl, all I can say is ok sya. she's very kind. Cool and not the flashy type. She's someone everyone can get along with. (kasi makulit) hehehe.

Tahimik pero magulo
Magulo pero seryoso
Serious pero ma-kwento
Ma-kwento pero masaya.... labo!!

Gets mo na? I may pass by this thursday.. we'll see.

happy tuesday

akap

I finally got a copy of Imago's Akap. whew!!

I've been looking for an mp3 of it since I first heard it on NU. Wala rin kasi sa mga record bars ung latest album nila e. But anyway, it was worth it. Aia's voice definitely gives the song something unique I too can't explain. (basta kakaiba) You can hardly compare her voice with Kitchie and Barbie. Cool.

Thanks Che for the song.

Nagtatanong

bakit mahirap

sumabay sa agos

ng iyong mundo

Nagtataka

Simple lang naman sana

Ang buhay

Kung ika'y matino

Sabihin sa akin lahat ng lihim mo

Iingatan ko

Ibaling sa akin ang problema mo

kakayanin ko

Pikit mata

kong iaalay

ang buwan at araw

pati pa sapatos kong suot

Nagtatanong

simple lang naman sana

ang buhay

kung ika'y lumayo

Sasamahan ka sa tamis

Sasamahan ka sa dilim

Sasamahan ka hanggang langit

Sasamahan ka sa tamis

Sasamahan ka sa pait

Sasamahan ka sa dilim

Sasamahan ka hanggang langit

Sasamahan ka

who..

wants ice cream? food trip na naman ako..

It's been 2 days now

and my feet and back still aches.

This is because of that concert we had last tuesday. I may be exagerating a bit, but it really still hurts. The pain cries especially on mornings when I wake up. That's why i'm coming in late at the office this week. It's weird because it only started aching yesterday.

I had a great time that night with all the shouting and jumping all over the place. I was jumping and screaming out loud right at the very start of the concert.

Mukha na nga kaming sira ni oscar kasi kami lang ung tumatalon at naghihihiyaw sa Sugarfree. I kinda felt angry at the crowd for not cheering on the band. They did not even stand up on their feet. Its like they're just watching the band on tv or something. I felt sorry for the band 'coz they were trying to liven up the people but failed. Ebe was already doing corny things to no avail. I hate concerts like that.

Just try to appreciate the band.. thats all... make the most of it.. enjoy

I really have no right to blame the crowd like that. Sorry guys. I start thinking maybe it's just not their type of music. Maybe they prefer other bands. Sorry again.

At least for Rivermaya, ok na ang lahat.

Anyways, I really hope the pain would go tomorrow.

lss

"yeah.. i think im falling..

maybe im falling for you.."

Inaatake lang ako ng LSS ngayon.

tuloy pa rin

Nawalan man ako ng boses kagabi...

tuloy pa rin ang ligaya.

new cd

I've been looking for the Imago album for weeks now. Bad luck was on my side.
Maski saan atang music store wala. Some have ung old album pa nila which I already have thanks to oscar.

After minutes of looking through their collection, I found this one. Graduation Day. It was cool.
Its just and EP of 3 bands. It has 10 songs in it and i'm loving most of it. These local bands are still underground and they are under the same manager. I think that's the reason why they compiled their songs.




First is Milk n Money. Led by a female vocalist, they have 3 songs in the album. Addict ngayon ako sa "lihim".Hehehe. Sayang hindi nila isinama ung "scream". Narinig ko yun from the Full Volume cd na meron din ako. Kasama din sa album ung "ok na" na una kong narinig sa NU.

The other bands are Blue Ketchup and Brainwash. Blue Ketchup sounds like Medwin of True Faith. Yung Brainwash naman ok din, gusto ko yung "pag ibig".

yun lang po.

letter # 2

dude,

naalala lang kita =)

try listening to sponge cola. Track # 13
you need to edit some of the lines but basically.... its there

happy tuesday.
ingats

siguro

"siguro nga iyakin ako... parehas na tayo"

i received an SMS this morning. the sender is not registered on my phone. WEIRD...

sound trip

It's been a great weekend for me.

I got the chance to watch perform 2 bands last weekend.

After me and my friends had dinner at Megamall, we decided to go home. Carla then remembered about the gig happening at metrowalk, and since its just near from our current location, we decided to check it out. When we got there, cynthia alexander was performing, yeah it was great. I also saw barbie's cradle. She was cool. They sang goodnyt. It sounded better in live... really.

Yesterday, I watched a free concert at marikina. We did not tried to go further to the stage because of the crowd. We just came there to listen. There were a couple of underground bands. Sandwich was there too (yun lang ung inantay ko dun). Although they only sang 3 songs, it was worth it.

Tomorrow, there will be another one. haha

keylan

kailan ba mauulit.. oras na di napansin
kailan ba maririnig.. tawanan na di napigilan

kailan nga ba dude, pano kung walang ng pagkakataon...

On Jang

I watched Jang Nara's Oh Happy day last Monday.

Its the second time. It still made me laugh. I first saw it on KBS (salamat may cable kami) . Also thanks for the english subs. Watching this time made me enjoyed it better.(mas masaya e)

I like the way she make faces. hehehe. its cute. its funny
Ms. Mimi says NO.. I disagree. hahaha

Jang is also a singer. She's good . I got her songs from her three albums. I'm a bit sad I lost a copy of her fourth one. I missed creating a backup of it when i reblast my PC. DARN..

Bigyan kita ng copy dude.. actually, meron na pala. dalhin ko sa inyo next time.

it's hunting me again...

After a long vacation of downs and mistakes, they are coming back..AGAIN. I can’t remember the last time I had them but one thing for sure, I’m scared.

Same as the last time, when you feel everything’s fine, they suddenly appear.

I don’t want to deal with you again. Never..

Oh please not this time.. not at this stage of the game..

oh save us please..

I was looking for some old pictures then I saw this..

It made me laugh.. it really hit me.


Just like the survivors from Titanic, they have life vest to keep themselves above the cold and calm waters. hahaha. sorry guys.
This was last year

now im exited....

theres...

nothing here for me.. than to love you --

One Tree Hill

Its aired on Sundays on ETC and its now on its second season. Normally, I don’t watch TV Series but not for this one. I think it’s a great show.

At first, it’s kinda weird and you have this feeling that it’s gonna be like those other American teen shows. But after watching it a couple of times, and it grows on you, you’ll start loving it.

The show is appealing to anyone and runs to a lot of issues on life, love and relationships
I hope more shows like this would come.

letter #1

Dude,

I saw you this week with your boyfriend. I did try to get near you swerving through the crowd just to say HI but I failed. (Bilis mo maglakad e) I was with my college friends that day waiting for late buddies.

Nothing changed in you aside from gaining a little fat but that’s ok. Your hair still falls just above the shoulders and your eyes as lively as before.

You were wearing this bag strapped across the left shoulder. Yan pa rin pala ung bag na binili natin sa divisoria way back then. Buti matino pa sya. Naalala ko tuloy kung pano ka nakipagtawaran sa tindera para lang makuha yan. Hehe.

I also noticed the tattoo at your right arm. Kahit medyo natatakpan ng sleeves ng shirt mo, at kahit almost 2 years nang nakaukit sayo, astig pa rin. Natatawa ako sa tripping natin nung nagpalagay ka nyan. Among the designs na pinili natin, yan ung “the best” talaga. I saw a girl sa Tokyo Tokyo last Friday na may tattoo, parang ung sayo din, pero mas ok yan.

Take care.

umm..

Huh! Jealous.... Me!? maybe a little... i dont know...

exhausted..

i went out for a lunchout out kanina at Dads. Grabe ang init. as in.

First, a walk from the office to glorieta. but then i need to passed 6750 from a buddy. i passed the ayala avenue under the burning sun. whew.. but it doesnt end there, it goes on and on.

naalala ko tuloy ung isang line from a sponge cola song - "tunawin ang araw..". yeah, that would be great.

One thing to isolate my self from the heat is to eat. after finishing my third plate.. its time for dessert. haha. "parehas na tayo dude". There were 12 participants on that lunchout. 4 of them came from the same building im at. that's the first time i met them and they were kind.

after lunch, i bought some chocolates for Gia. but then i remembered Mimi so i bought her too. thank God they didn't melt on my way back.

i really wish it would rain..

family driver

Last night, we are supposed to pickup my ninong from the airport. The plane is expected to land at 11 pm.

There were a number of family members who will be joining the welcoming committee, including me. Among us, why does it have to be me!!! ME.. ME.. ME... Grrr.

I arrived late at our house that night after watching a basketball game. It was around 930pm. So imagine how tired i am then they expect me to drive to the airport. Waaaahhh.

Mom: Beng, ikaw na magdrive sa amin sa airport mamaya.
Beng: Ngek, si dad?
Mom: Masakit tiyan, di na daw sasama.
Beng: Si tito Ranil
Mom: Hatid pa daw niya si Razz
Beng: Hala... nagbackout lahat
Mom: Kaya nga ikaw na
Jay: Kuya, sama ako ah
Beng: Wag na uy.. di pwede!!
Jay: Para may tagabuhat ng bagahe
Beng: Mag-aral ka kasi magdrive. Para may kapalit na ko.
Jay: Hehehe
Mom: kaw na ah?
Beng: Si Nanay na lang, hehehe

Well, kahit anong idahilan ko, sakin pa rin bagsak. Hirap pa naman magdrive sa gabi. tapos ako pa!!

Driving was a blast.. Thank God. We got home before 12. bilis nga e.

And all that driving ended up having a box of CHOCOLATES....

happy tuesday

tuesday has always been my favorite day of the week.

not only because it reminds me a lot of people and things, but because i feel relaxed.

tuesday always is the option when i feel
1. wearing my best shirt
2. not bringing meals to office
3. greeting people
4. waking up early
5. sending SMS saying "take care"
6. bringing a pizza
7. having dinner at cubao
8. buying a new CD
9. offering some food
10. telling long stories
11. disturbing
12. dreaming

hope she knows this.. YOU are in the list.
Happy Tuesday Dude.

moving up for the kids

last saturday my mom asked me to fetch her after their school's graduation. i got there around 7 pm. the program is not yet finished. darn!!. the graduation rites started late..that's why. poor kids. so hungry like me.

My mom works on a pre school. she is one of the administrators. the pre-school is at commonwealth just near don antonio heights. medyo malayo rin from our house.

arriving there early, the scene was packed. parents all over. half of them are koreans. i dont know why koreans love sending their childrens to that school.

actually, i did had fun a little seeing those children perfoming their things. especially this korean boy who is crying all over. listening to them is never new to me, but i still enjoy it.

Got to talk to mitch, the daugther of the owner. she is always this jolly person who loves telling stories. she'll be graduating next year, i wish her luck.

i wish good luck to all these kids. so many dreams ahead.. so many opportunities.. and so many hopes..

Dear Pope

I wasn't able to meet you in person when you came here in 1995.

I watched the world youth day event the whole day just to catch you. I really like to be there in UST but I was in highschool way back then and my mom won't allow me to go with some of my classmates who were going there.

There a feeling inside how i wasted my opportunity in meeting you. I should have tried a lot better forcing my mom.

You have done your purpose well here on earth. Eventhough i like you to have a longer time with us, its due time you end your own sufferings and pass the baton to other people

Now you are with the Lord...now you are home.

Say hi to the angels for all of us.

inquirer tv

last night i saw inquirer tv. its a documentary sponsored maybe by inquirer. obviously. first time ko lang sya mapanood and i got this feeling i'll be watching it again next week.

they discussed to issue on jobs in the philippines. honestly speaking, one can never really tell if you can have a job after you graduate. like me for example. it took me 5 and a half month before getting a job. mahirap maghanap noh. unless your family has a business. for sure dun ang bagsak mo especially pag eldest son or daughter ka. sad to say we dont have that. kaya kelangang magsipag.

Education is not enough. dapat may abilidad ka rin. tough na rin kasi ang competition. imagine millions of newly graduates per year.

the next topic is on debate, theres this national competition partitipated mostly of well known universities. St. louie in Baguio and Siliman University of visayas are some of the provincial schools who also joined the contest.

UP diliman won the contest. congrats guys.

your hand is out there..... somewhere.
