I haven't talked to Ysa in a long time. Well it started out with Monay (I swear ang aga nyang bumati ng happy birthday~) and then the topic was diverted to CAT and our experiences regarding the topic.

Then she  mentioned the word "Camaraderie" and I swear I don't know what it meant until I looked it up in the later part of the convo.

So, Camaraderie is....

ca·ma·ra·derie (kam′ə rädə rē, käm′-)

noun

loyalty and warm, friendly feeling among comrades; comradeship

Etymology: Fr < camarade, comrade

credits to: yourdictionary.com

It's not really a word commonly used during my CAT class days nor did I ever hear anyone use it then. Oh well, thanks mare. I learned something new from you again. ^^;;

And mare, seriously...ang aga talaga ng greeting mo. At least 2 days before man lang. Parang feel ko mas excited ka pa dun sa bday celebrant eh...hehehe....^^;;

I'm not really into musicals nor do I enjoy watching them. The first and last musical I've been able to see live was when Miss Saigon came to Manila. That would be hmm...around September 2000? not sure. Hehehe.

Anyways, I've been hooked to the Bleach musical series a lot lately. One of the reasons why is probably I'm still amazed over how Hayashi Shuji-san (A.K.A Osamu-chan) plays my favorite Bleach character, Kuchiki Byakuya-sama. Well, I've been LOL-ing at how he looks at first or how they re-do the scenes from the Shinigami arc...they tend to be 'lulz' at times...but yeah, after watching it over and over...I got the hang of it. And LOL everytime Byakuya-sama dances. Osamu-chan likes to dance a lot backstage but when he has to dance on-stage....-turns around and covers mouth- Yeah, Byakuya-sama's not the type who's MEANT to take on the floor and dance.

It's just creepy...-looks amused-

To the guy who thought he can never play the young, cold, indifferent, arrogant yet overprotective head of the noble Kuchiki clan / 6th division captain right, whose first reaction towards the role was "大丈夫かな?” and thought that Byaku-sama's fans will eat him alive if he wouldn't pull be able to pull it off.

Well, he's not going to be eaten alive.... he did a really good job, totally in character. ^^;;

Photobucket

Really, I wonder how long this is going to last? me being hooked to Buri-myu I mean~ LOL -sighs- too bad  I won't be able to see him play my fave BLEACH character live. The cast will be changing after this year's musical. >.>

Oh well, time to stalk blogs~ ^^;;

Some people might think I'm crazy, or I am just mad. But yeah, I do have this little 'ability' to sense, not to see...and what I am about to say later on just creeped the hell outta me. ~____~!!!

After my parents' office hours, we headed to Mandaluyong for business matters. First it was in the warehouse, then to the main office. My dad went upstairs and then me, my mom and sis were left in the Innova. I wanted to get off and see how dad's doing since I'm just bored as hell waiting but then the two just stopped me and said that dad won't appreciate it if I follow. So I let the subject dropped and poked around my phone.

After a while, mom wanted to pee in the CR but can't go alone since the building is known to be haunted by ghosts and poltergeists. I know I am sounding like crazy right now, but yes, it is true and the people working there can prove it...I think. Hana doesn't want to go out so mom asked me since I looked like I am itching to go out. I agreed and we went to that 'toilet' together.

I didn't read the sign and forgot if it was a ladies toilet or a unisex one. It was dark and had no windows and the toilet itself wasn't exactly properly maintained. So mom closed the door and peed. A few minutes later, my head ached like hell and I can really feel someone is standing behind me. I didn't look behind me but yeah, there was someone in there besides us. So I asked mom to just get everything over with but NO! she's just slow as ever.

So after she was done with the peeing, she tried flushing but it took a while for it to flush and my head is just getting worse. >.> the worst part of it was....the lid closed and mom can't leave it like that because people who would use that toilet next might think my mom did something else besides peeing or maybe she would look rude that she didn't even flush whatever it was she released there. So it took another 'while' for her to reach the lid with her foot and open the stupid toilet lid! >.>

I felt like I was going to faint if I lasted a few seconds longer inside that toilet dammit!!!! >.>  I'm just glad everything's over and I could finally breathe again when we finally got to get out~

Gah! I just couldn't stop laughing in here! -is already in tears and chokes out of laughter-



OK, I was posting in Bleach Exile Forums when I encountered a thread entitled "10 out of 10 Men Have This Problem". So when I clicked it, the first post is a youtube clip. The clip is an advertisement for a product called "Fresh Balls", a lotion that's supposed to keep guy's 'balls' fresh. An anti-perspirant thing. -laughs more-

"I'm here to talk about a problem that 10 out of 10 men have. And if you ask them about it, they'll deny it, they're embarrassed. They think it makes them less of a man, with their buddies and with their women. It's a problem men suffer from in silence, it's a problem that medical science has completely ignored. But I have. The problem....is sweaty balls."

I also showed this clip to [info]gaxnela and I still can't believe he actually asked his bro about it! -laughs more-

GAWD! I know this will bother me until this day ends. I still can't believe there are people who would actually go for this stuff!!! XDDDDD

-laughs out loud and chokes-

Why do I get the feeling this is going to end just like the 5523853252705th time?

This day is just not good. I woke up in such a bad mood. I like my long sleeping hours and GAWD! I think everyone who knows me KNOWS that I am not a morning person and I enjoy my long sleeping hours. I'm in such a fiery mood when I went downstairs and I even had a squabble with Hana and my mom, take note: my bratty cousin is in front of the table.

I do appreciate my mom buying me breakfast and all, but PLEASE! when people want to sleep rather than to eat, let them sleep cause I know you feel the same way. Who wants to have her precious sleep and a very nice dream cut short anyways? >.<

"If you eat your food with a heavy heart, then something must be wrong with you."

Aww...I just remembered that quote from a Taiwanese dorama I was watching recently.

Anyways, the annoyance doesn't stop there. When my dad arrived, he checked on my whereabouts and when he saw me downstairs. He started yapping about 

"O yung laptop dyan lang sa baba yan ha? wag nyong iaakyat yan! Pag nakita kong inakyat nyo yan sa kwarto na namin yan! Kala nyo si Greg ang bumili nyan..."

I know there was something that goes after that, what the fuck does he care about this laptop? he can't even open it for pete's sake.  It's MINE! Well it was a birthday present at least for me on my 23rd bday. DON'T BUY ME A PRESENT IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THIS THING AGAINST ME FUCK IT! Can I not accept a present from my parents next time? if they're going to treat me like this afterwards?? Yeah, I think it'll be better if they don't buy me anything and I'll end up liking it that I want to take it everywhere I go. I swear hearing that ticked me off.

And oh yeah, don't include my uncle in this. Nananahimik xa sa Canada tapos idadamay nyo pa sa kabaliwan nyo! leave him alone! DEMMIT! >.< And what's this new stupid  rule for anyways? it doesn't work because I am still going to stay UPSTAIRS. With a laptop or not! I like it upstairs. It gives me the feeling of I can think freely there. Let my mind wander off while I am there. Not like downstairs...

Well I slept afterwards and later he was squabbling again about me escaping from something he wants me to do. Well I have a headache and I'd rather sleep and I am already ticked off with what he said earlier. So even if I heard him, I just ignored him and tried to catch my sleep. But unfortunately, I did not and Hana was calling me. 

"Pag may gagawin, lagi na lang sleeping...sleeping..."

So I slowly went down and I am still sleepy and I can hear Hana and him talking.

Hana: Pababa na po. Meron xang sariling pace.
Dad: Alam mo di ako pwedeng maghintay ng matagal.

GAWD! so much for someone who's asking for help in drawing. I didn't talk in the table or occassionally I will. I am already pissed off as it is. And then when I showed up to the dining area, he was in a nice tone and all. I only stared on the floor or the other way while I ate. Well he did make me two sandwiches, but not good enough to cool my head down about what he said earlier. FUCK!

And so I did work on the pattern until I can't take my headache anymore. 

Well a little later my mom arrived and we asked if we can go to AOF (Anime Overload Festival) tomorrow with Lala. She asked where it was and what it was, but she hasn't given us an answer yet. >.< I hope she allows us to go or I am going on a hunger strike!

We never go out, we don't watch that much TV. I don't have a social life  (well if online counts, I do) I mean we're not doing anything wrong! This is a rare occassion that we would ask! So I hope she really says yes. We have a life of our own DEMMIT! We're not robots that they could call and command us to do whatever they want us to do, go wherever they want us to go. 

WE.HAVE.A.LIFE.OF.OUR.OWN! I hope my parents DO realize this sooner!  >.<

GAWD! I am at the edge of my sanity already, I guess this is the side effect of taking all your problems in and sitting in silence for all these years. I think this is either going to end up with me in a mental ward and in straighjackets or I am going to commit suicide at some point of my life.

"Success is 99% failure..."

Well...whoever thought of that quote is a genius. Cause I think it is.

A path I wish to walk in the future. A life I would give anything just to live it...even if some people say it's a gamble. Well, it is...but I still want to go through it.

I know I still have a long way to go. A mountain of lessons to learn from people who've already been there and from other things that I find useful along the way. But until then, I want to learn, I don't want to quit, I don't want to stop until the time comes that I would be standing on a stage that's far from what I expected.

This is just the beginning...

Before I just posted 9 lead guitarists. I finally found my 10th guitarist thanks to the person who owned that comment above. ^^;;

10. Leda (DELUHI)

YES! I am a 6/9 freak and I have a fetish over blonde guitarists with nice legs. I am a "SLUT ADDICT" according to Lala-sama. A few days back, [info]gaxnela linked me to a Youtube clip of a comment and Leda-san having a demo of a part of Two Hurt. I thought he was cool, a very very good guitarist and really cute. I started to take interest of their band and music, but not good enough for me to call myself as her "DELUHI buddy."

It was until last night that I downloaded the PV of HYBRID TRUTH that I found out that he was also a slut. DEYM! it's too late to escape, he already caught my attention. LOL

@[info]gaxnela : TENCHUUU! for introducing me to an awesome band and to my 10th guitarist and to the 4th person in my list who's under the bday of 6/9. I can't get enough of him, srsly~! XDDDDDDD

Today...isn't really my day...

The original plan was I was supposed to follow Hana to UP Diliman. But since it was already 4 and I am still at school, we agreed to meet up somewhere else. Ayala MRT Station was the new meeting place. So I started walking and left Sephi to her exams.

By the time I crossed Taft Avenue, my shoes and the bottom part of my pants are already wet. It was raining hard and I was left to my thoughts  scrambling in my head while I walk my way to LRT UN Station. I was already at Luneta when a woman in a green shirt and no umbrella stood up and punched me to the upper part of my nose.

She was like "Kala mo nakatingin ka pa sa camera!" and then she punched me. Good thing there were some people (there was a man in an orange uniform who picked up a broom and threatened the woman that he would hit her) who saw what she did and shooed her away from me. I quickly turned my back and continued walking to the direction of the station, crying. Her punch was so strong that my head is aching while I walked. I didn't even notice that a friend was already calling me and when she finally caught up with me, she asked me if I was alright.

So I told her that I got punched in the face by a crazed woman a few moments earlier and she was like "Are you OK? do you need some water?" and I made sure to her that I can still handle it. She was with two girls that I'm also acquainted with, MJ and Jom.  Lucky for me they are also headed to the LRT station so I just joined them.

But, the incident isn't over yet. The crazed woman was still on my trail and a guy in an orange coat is watching her for me. He asked us to hurry as the woman is catching up. He even told us to report the whole incident to the police station. I was thinking "never mind, the police station is very far and it's raining hard and Hana might be waiting there for me already!" I was thankful to that guy, too bad I can't give him anything in return.

We were already safe when we crossed T.M Kalaw and we made the train ride together until EDSA station.

This had to be the third incident that a crazed person 'attacked' me randomly. Am that unlucky? or am I just a common target for them that my mere presence enrages them to attack? I don't know and I have a small wound on my left eyebrow.

I still have a headache....

LOL!

I just noticed now that my world is full of lead guitarists.

I have a friend who's a lead guitarist (ex-lead guitarist actually) but he still plays in a band and I admit I'm in awe when he's playing something. I may not say this when I'm around him...but I do respect every advice and tip he gives me and I just hope he doesn't get tired of answering all my questions....ang dami ko kasing tanong sa kanya minsan. LOL

But hanging out with them....it's a wonderful experience and I am learning a lot. I would definitely take it wherever I go. ^^;;

I am a lead guitarist myself, technically. Though we haven't played a live yet and we're still one member short, I always look forward to the day that Curious Insomniac would debut.

And lastly, I am a fan of lead guitarists from nine different bands. Some of them I just adore, but some of them, well people who've known me for a long time knows that I do respect them. So without further delay, let me write them down one by one..LOL

1. Uruha (The GazettE)

Photobucket

Thighs? SPELL MAGIC?! LOL

Don't ask why he's number one. It's a given FACT for everyone who knows me pretty well. They might even be surprised if he's not number one on my list when he's my laptop / mobile phone wallpaper, I have his picture on my binder (which by the way led me to meeting Sephi-chan/Dai Mizeru) and my phone is just flooded with his pics.

Some even probably think I am sooo married to this guy already.

Yeah, but out of all the guitarists I have seen so far, he's the one I respect the most. It's more than the thighs, the lips, the hot image or the killer guitar solos. Uruha is a very very talented guitarist, it's also another given fact. LOL

Seriously, he's the guy who just brought me back to playing guitar and one of the reasons why I chose to be a lead guitarist. I quit playing guitar a few years back. it was after hearing Hana play "Fukai Mori" that said I would quit playing guitar. "Ayoko na!" that's what I said back then. And then a few years later, I pursued to be a bassist. But in the end, I am back to guitars again. LOL.

Distortion made me fall in love with guitars again and I heard that a lot from Gazette songs, most of the time hearing/seeing Uruha doing that. I want to learn it too, and hope to get my chance to try it someday. It's weird, I know some people might say it. But, it's the truth.

Being conscious of what I am wearing was another thing I probably got from him. I know this sounds sooooo stupid but yes, nag-start akong mag-ayos after I became his fan. I swear there are days where it would take me a long time to pick what to wear, ask if it looks good on me or not, and it even came to a point that I would model what I was wearing in front of the mirror and it would take me three or more tries before I get satisfied with what I am wearing. X___x!!

That was a changing experience for me when I am the type who would be contented with a shirt and loose pants. I still do at some days, but there are days that I would want to go out in style. Kahit na paulit-ulit minsan, but I still want to try to style myself. ^^;;

I still have more to say but I want to really make this long post short and less dramatic. Baka umiyak pa ako dito...-tries to control her fingers not to type further.-

Before I end this, I am very thankful that he came into the picture. Been pestering my life for already 1 year and three months, and I hope he still continues to annoy me with his guitar playing.

In short, Uruha-san...to all the changes you made in me and for inspiring me in every single day of my forsaken life, hontou ni arigatou gozaimasu~ ^O^!!!

2. Kazuki (SCREW)




LOL my pet in Facebook's Pet Society was named after him! XD

I first saw him in Wailing Wall and I thought he looks a bit like Uruha. My fandom for Zukky started there and then later on, I did find him as an interesting guitarist and he was even the first jrocker who I added and approved me when I was still new to ameba. ^^;;

3. Sakito (Nightmare)

-remembers Sakito-san playing Super Mario on guitar-

This guy got me addicted to Super Mario afterwards!! hahahaha

LOL! Sakito's solos for me are...-hands down- ^^;; I watched their Budokan live in youtube and he was just.....-speechless- すごいです!
Well I like him more than Hitsugi...his make-up scares me...^^;;

4. Ryuto (Lolita23q)


lolita23q ryuto Pictures, Images and Photos

First saw him in CERAMIC STAR and he just blew me away with his guitar playing. ^^;;

5. Hiroaki (12012)

Hiroaki 12012

Ah~ 'alien'-san~! LOL

6. Jun

jun phantasmagoria Pictures, Images and Photos

"I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else but being a guitarist"

That line just made me respect him more as a guitarist. It's just....awwww~~~~ ^^;;

I have a pigg modeled after him and he's probably the second Jrocker who has the most pics in my phone.LOL

Jun I would say, is kawaii and kakkoi at the same time and I love his expressions when he's playing guitar. It's less mataray compared to guitarist # 1 but I just enjoy watching him. Style-wise, I also find him cool and interesting.

7. Daita Ito (ex-SIAM SHADE)


Photobucket

One of the two non-VK guitarists in my list. But I find his guitar parts, nothing but SPECTACULAR. As in everytime I listen to the lead guitar parts, I'm left with...-jawdrops- DAMN! he's good!!! LOL

8. Shuse (Acid Black Cherry)


I just saw him in their PV "SPELL MAGIC" thanks to [info]mikaela_angel07 and I just find him SMELTERING HOT~! especially on the guitar solo part. DAYUMN! that song!!! LOL

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing more of him when I check out their other songs...LOL

9. Ibuki (D-OUT)


Photobucket

LOL Nothing much to say since I've just been converted into a fan TODAY!

But damn! I find him hotttt LOL...naduling ako sa thighs nya...hahaha....

Anyways, that's the end of the list. There's no number 10 sadly. ^^;;

One of my favorite pastimes is reading and collecting second-hand books. Whenever I have free-time or some time to kill when I'm alone, I I love to go to Booksale and check out if there's a book that would interest me. Most of the books I buy are less than 50 pesos or less. You could call me a cheapskate but that's just me. ^^;;

Today I have finished a book that I've been reading for a while now, it's called "Blue Eyed Boy" by Helen Dunmore. I forgot how much it was since I would usually remove the price or something before I wrap them with plastic cover. Yes, cheap as they are, they still need to be cared for. Anyways, I'm putting in my reactions about this book that I just read....hahaha....

This is the book's cover, actually this is the cover for the paperback version....


 
1. SYNOPSIS (that can be found at the back of the book)
 
When the letter arrives opposite side of the ocean, Simone, a thirty-eight-year-old-judge, suspects that a long-ago lover has targeted her for "the most intimate of crimes," black-mail. The prospects shatters an already tenuous peace: Simone is shouldering the burden of her husband's breakdown, her family's mounting debts, and the unexpected demands of a new job. Soon the ripple of terror that flows through Simone's world like the ghost of a former self threatens to propel her public and private lives onto a harrowing collision course.

Credits to: Fantastic Fiction

My Persona Reaction:


The synopsis was good to me, interesting enough. I was intrigued by this book's concept: a novel about blackmail. And another question popped into my head, could a thirty-eight year old woman interest me into her world? Unfortunately, it did when I was looking at it in the bookstore and I bought it.

2. PLOT

This centres on a middle aged English woman, called Simone. She is a district judge in a middle of no-where English coastal region. (We are never told where, but I have a picture in my mind of somewhere in the South-West of England.) Simone is well educated and married to a failed architect, Donald, who himself is on the edge of reality following his firm’s dramatic collapse and Donald’s close brush with bankruptcy, in fact it seems he could be having a breakdown. The pair have two young boys, but large debts and no friends in the area. Simone had given up her legal aid practice to take the district judge’s job in order to guarantee her family’s financial survival. The family struggle to keep their financial head above water, Simone finds her new job both tedious and scary (who cannot find the judging of people scary) and her relationship with Donald is strained by his refusal to reconnect with normal society.

But Simone has a past, from a time when she worked in the United States during a gap year an old boyfriend (Michael), damaged mentally for life by the Vietnam War. This past is returning, but in what context? What does Michael want, does he want money or does he want to return to his own past as a form of comfort? Simone has to deal with this, without letting on to her family and with no knowledge of what Michael is after.


Credits to: dooyoo

My Personal Reaction:

The prologue was interesting enough. She had a very nice, poetic description of what blackmail is and what it could do to people. I loved how she described that blackmail doesn't walk into the door and greet you, it' always an inside job and that it would attack you in the least time that you would expect it to come. It had a very dark and creepy feel as I read it, and in a twistedly, werd way....I loved it.

Now the book revolves around two parts of Simone's life: her past in Annasett, USA with Michael (which happened 20 years before) and her English present as a district judge with a huband and two children. 

The book was good enough to leave me guessing of what Michael's motives are. Why would Michael contact Simone after twenty years? What good would it do to him? Why send her those photographs and letters about their past? Would it help him with what he want to achieve? Yeah, those are the questions that are boggling in my head and kept me hooked to the end.

But the plot also disappointed me in a way. The transition between the past and the present are a bit confusing and there are some parts that are just "overly-descriptive" for me. I mean sometimes it's good to be in detail but putting too much of it can be really boring.

3. CHARACTERS:

Simone

Simone is a thirty-eight year old district judge with a husband and two-children. Married to Donald, an architect who's currently unemployed. She's also the one shouldering her family's pending debts from the bank. Twenty years before, she had a relationship with Michael and is now haunting her with their past.

I'm quite annoyed with Simone's character to be frank. She thinks too much and is stuck with her dilemmas of "I should forget Michael, I have a family now....past is past and it shouldn't be tackled anymore"  or  "I'm a judge... I shouldn't be soft, I should be hard on everything."

I can understand her at some point though, she had a family to worry about and a debt to pay so their house won't be taken away from them. But she shouldn't have denied the fact that there was a part in her life that she had a 'sexually' good time with another man and that another friend of theirs was taking photographs of them. It was her, and without the past there wouldn't be a present and definitely no future. And as for her second dilemma, personal life is different from the professional one. Hello? Can't you separate the two girl? X.x!!

I also didn't like how she dealt with the problem. I mean the public knowing that she had a relationship with someone isn't really a big deal at all. Everyone has their point in their lives that they would have boyfriends/girlfriends and that there are some things that they would do behind closed doors. WTF? She's just overdoing it! Gawd!

Michael

Michael is Simone's lover from Annasett twenty years before. He was a former soldier in Vietnam and works on boats for a living. He was the one sending photographs and letters to Simone and following her at some point.

OK this guy had me guessing what his motives were throughout my whole read. And when I did, I was just like "What? That's it?"  I told this to my sister and she was like, rolling her eyes on me and asked me "Sis! Why would a guy stalk a girl?"  Did that question came from experience, sis? ^^;; Well it was a good thing I asked her since she had stalkers before and after this read...it was just creepy at some point, I tell you.

Michael to me is mysterious in a way, or he's just plain creepy. I mean yeah, he just wants to be with her. But hasn't he considered the fact that Simone has a family already? I mean go find another girl! Simone's not the last girl on Earth, end of problem! ^^;;

I also went "Aww..." when he died in the near end of the story, dying with the last person you want to be with (who secretly loves you still but is in denial with herself) is just  -grabs a hanky and sniffs-

I think Michael wouldn't ask for a better ending! ^^;;

Donald

Simone's architect husband who's at huge debts with the bank.

Donald to me is an impulsive person but a loving father and husband. No character development too but I loved how he would argue with Simone at times. Donald to me is a pretty amusing character and I pity his ignorance over the whole situation. But as the saying goes "What you don't know won't hurt you." In a way, it's a good thing that he knows nothing over what's going on. ^^;;

Matt


Simone and Donald's eldest son. A quiet kid but a loving brother to Joe.

Joe

Simone and Donald's youngest son. He's the friendlier and more popular than Matt and is Simone's favorite kid, I think.

Calvin

Michael and Simone's friend who died 10 years before the present time. Calvin was the one who took the photographs that Michael sent Simone at present time. Calvin also went to Vietnam with Michael.

4. CONCLUSION

I think I'd give this book 3 stars out of 5. It kept me hooked to the end at some points but it's not a book I would read again. It's a good thriller book but at the same time, it's just annoying.

I was sorta intrigued by this meme since it claimed to be a 'meme for straight people'. Well it was kinda bizarre since the questions are totally random and had nothing to do with being straight or not straight.

Credits to: Maddog @ wordpress

1. What is your best friend’s Dad’s name?

I have no idea. Me and my dad are not that close and he has too many best friends. I don't know which one was his best friend out of all his best friends. O__o?! Hope that makes sense though...

2. What body part do you hate the most?

There are two: my eyebrows and my chin. I wish my eyebrows were a bit thinner and my chin would be a bit rounder.

3. Who was the hottest teacher you ever had?

For me, it's Mr. Rommer Fajardo from my Freehand Drawing 1 class. GAWD! it even came to a point that I would plan what I would wear to his class...hahaha....

4. Have you ever made out in a basement?

We don't have a basement. Only an attic.

5. What body part do you wash first in the shower?

My arms.

6. Do you have any piercings?

No piercings.

7. Do you have any tattoos?

Nope. My sister would kill me if I ever attempt to have one.

Yes, a bit.

9. What’s your favorite flavored Pringle

It's pizza-flavored.

I can't remember. But I've been grounded for a month for that.

18. Is there one thing all of the times you have been in love have had in common?

Never been in love, seriously. Never been on a serious relationship either.

19. Did you French kiss before you were 16?

Nope. Filipinos are too conservative, well sometimes it's only a pretense but culture-wise...they still are...

20. Have you ever been cow-tipping or snipe-hunting?

Nope.

21. Who is the last person you usually think about before you fall asleep?

Uruha! Do you have to ask?

22. Have you ever had a song written about you?

Nope. I have paintings of myself but they were done by me.

23. If you had to choose to not ever wash your bed sheets or your towel ever again, which would you choose?

Do I really have to choose? O_o?!?! Bed sheets probably. I can't stand using a stinking towel.

24. Have you ever found anything in your parents’ bedroom that was questionable?

Depends on what 'questionable' meant. But yeah, my parents have copies of some porn vids that were meant to be off-limits from us. And a few magazines with some porn stuff in it.

25. What was your childhood nickname?

It's just one, until now it's still my nickname. "Tintin"

26. When is the last time you played the air guitar?

I usually do this in the bathroom or when I'm alone and I'm listening to a rock song from the background.

27. Have you ever peeked in the opposite sex’s locker room?

Nope...don't want to do it either.

28. What’s the weirdest thing you have done while driving?

I don't drive. Well once when I was still a kid and they let me take the wheel for a while. I drove in the sidewalk.

29. Have you ever bitten your toenails?

Nope, gross! I have a weird habit of smelling them though when I'm cutting my nails.

30. How do you normally eat your Oreo cookies?

When Oreo's around, yeah! unfortunately, they're too expensive here so I'd settle for some cheaper cookies.

2008, a lot of things had happened that's been too memorable for me.

Never been on a date.

42. How many Ellie’s do you know?

Only one and we're not close. She was in the same class as I am last semester.

Our bus ride home was just hilarious and I thought it was something I should blog about later on. So we were sitting at the back of the bus and a noontime drama was being aired on the bus' television screen. The drama's title was "Dapat Ka Bang Mahalin?" which starred Aljur Abernica, Kris Bernal and Ara Mina.

I think it was the last episode or one of the last few remaining episodes since the protagonists and antagonists are having their "final' face-off or bout, whatever you want to call it. I was like "Here we go again..." and Hana's already rolling her eyes and giving out bored expressions as the drama played on. In times like these, I just wish the bus conductor would just play a randomly more enjoyable movie or just turn on the radio than non-verbally asking some people to bear an hour trip home with some CRAP-castic drama added with an endless parade of CM's. Believe me, Philippine TV is full of crap.

Anyways, getting back on the drama. So the villains have their hostage and they are torturing him and then a few minutes later, a guy with a gun pops out and points a gun on the mastermind asking to release their hostage. The people from the back hesitate hence the gun is being pointed a few inches closer than earlier. And then what? the hostage would be released and a few people would be killed and the only people who would remain is the villain and a sidekick.

There is something wrong with this scene, first off, where are the COPS when you need them. What? they would arrive after someone has died already? this goes to show how slow Philippine Police are. They're always late for action. And showing them like that is a form of negative propaganda for them. Second, why the hell is the final showdown between the protagonists and the antagonists have to happen in the same place?! it's always some place where there are full of trees, grassy. Don't tell me that it's a good place to settle things since there are no people living there. It's not realistic anymore and doing the same thing over and over is just getting boring and old.

Another thing that I don't like in this show....well not only this one but in a lot of Filipino shows, may it be soap operas and movies are: DO THEY HAVE TO YAP AND YAP BEFORE THEY KILL SOMEBODY? or if they really can't help it, they should do the yapping later, after they have killed whoever they want to kill. That would be better.

One more thing that Hana pointed out was....In Philippine soap operas, the villain has to die in the end. As long as the villain lives, the story never ends. It's like they're saying that evil people have no place on Earth that they should just die and rot six feet under. Can't they come up of a better ending? that one's just getting really old. I mean they're writers for pete's sake, they're paid to bring excitement on someone's TV screens! Not have their patrons put up with the same ending OVER and OVER and OVER again.

I mean, GAWD! how Ara Mina died in this show was SOOOO cliche. It's just so crap-castic!

And lastly, before I end this topic which is taking too long for me to write. Have these writers lost their sense of creativity that all they do nowadays are remakes of the past? Has ORIGINALITY lost its place in the Philippine showbiz industry? Hmm....

If that's the case, then it's really disappointing...




A few examples of the lack of creativity and originality of Filipino screen writers today... remakes, remakes and MORE remakes.
 
Moving on, I was randomly searching for some 'wasei-eigo' words on Google when I bumped into this comment and I just LOL-ed at it as my initial reaction.

June 9...a lot of people are unaware of how special this day is to me, even before I became a GazettE fan. Besides Uruha, there are two more people who I admired and respected (I still am a fan of theirs, I'm only li-low during this past year) also celebrate their birthday on this very day.

Johnny Depp (June 9, 1969) and Vic Zhou Yu Min A.K.A Zaizai of the Taiwanese F4 (June 9, 1981). Oh yeah, there are two more jrockers I know who are also celebrating today... Ruka of Naitomea and Yusuke of 12012. ^^;; Yeah, 5 famous people are celebrating their bday today...and I am also celebrating my 1st year as a GazettE fan. Wow! it's been a year, eh? XD

Anyways, let's move on to the main topic. Today is a blissfully insane, full of hyperactivity (I'm lucky enough to live for today and tell the tale on this blogpost) ^^;; and totally special. Haha...I did something that I never did before~! and it's all thanks to this guy...
 

 

Photobucket

 

Oh yes, it's been one HELLION of a year for me since he came into my life and pestered my mind every single day with his hair-raising guitar solos and his INCREDIBLY white and plump thighs he's been flaunting on my computer screen every single day. ^^;; don't get me wrong, I'm not hating it! Do anything he wishes for all I care...hahaha....it already came to a point where I can't live a day without seeing your pretty face...

"Old habits die hard..." - Marius (Queen of the Damned)

I would have to agree with you there. It would be really be a hard habit to break, staring at someone as beautiful as Uruha for every single day of my cursed life that is. ^^;;

Anyways, we were supposed to go to Hana's school today to pay for her tuition fee this semester but it seemed that the payment period is until next week so we decided not to go since it's already late. So I decided to take the celebration somewhere else, the original plan was a karaoke after school session in Robinson's Manila with some friends but since the start of classes was moved to June 15, that cannot happen.

So me, Hana (who was so happy about this ocassion) and Ann (who I have to kneel in front of just to get her to tag along with us) went to STARBUCKS at Petron SLEX (it's just a walking distance from our house by the way...^^;;). I was still all smiles when I entered STARBUCKS even if I knew I was the one shaving off a lot of money a few minutes later. I ordered 3 grande sized frappes (Ann was Caramel flavored, Hana's was Coffee Jelly and mine was the most expensive of the three which had chocolate and cookies and cream...forgot the exact name sorry) ^^;;

Yeah, I didn't mind at all since it's Uruha's bday celebration. ^^;;  Hana kept on saying "Arigatou, Uruha-san...dahil sa'yo nanlibre si Ate Tin"
it meant, "Thank you Uruha-san, Ate tin treated us here because of you..." Well, I was just glad they enjoyed it... I totally didn't mind losing 445 pesos from my pockets, the guy is worth every penny of it...in my opinion that is...hahaha... Anyhoo, we had a short photo session there and talked about some stuffs.

"Ngayon lang ginawa ni Ate Tin ito, nanlibre dahil birthday ng idol nya..." I can't forget when Hana said it, I was surprised about it. Oh really, of all the fandoms I've been into....this had to be the first time that I took the time to celebrate it? I didn't know....^^;; but I'm just happy to know...I think anyone who knew me (wether it's online and offline) and my fandom for Uruha would know what I'm talking about...how much I love the guy that is...hehehe....

After we finished the frappes, we headed home and they're still thanking Uruha for it on the way...haha...Yeah, there I wished that I hope I could still do this next year and I hope when that time comes...I'm still madly in love with him...

Anyways, Happy 28th birthday Uru....and thank you very much for a lot of wonderful things I can't enumerate right now since you came into my insanely cursed of a life...I wish you good luck in everything and hope to see you perform live someday....^^;;

You Are a Maverick
You're a restless rebel with an unpredictable nature.
Bright but unbridled, you tend to seek out wild experiences over new ideas.
People are frustrated by your great potential, but you love your unconventional life.
You're a heartbreaker. People get attached to you, and then you're gone.

Your strength: Your thirst for adventure

Your weakness: Not taking time for slow pleasures

Your power color: Hot pink

Your power symbol: Figure eight

Your power month: March
I just posted this on my new Facebook and I just want to share it with some of my friends here on LJ. I'd say this description fits me very well....a 'wild child' as I may call it...hahaha...

Eh? my power color is 'hot pink'?? why the hell does it have to be PINK?!?! of all the colors in the wheel! GAWD!! Why does it have to be PINK!!!! -pulls a long face-

credits to: blogthings.com

RESULT # 2

Is your birthday day 21 of the month?

Your Life

You are curious and a true follower. You can please someone so much that it seem like you are trying to charm that person. You hide your disagreement under your smiling face. This is a charming quality of yours.

Your Love


You are quite unlucky in love. You are loved by someone you don't like while your dream man is so far away. Your love life is occasionally under turbulence. Sometimes you don't have the clear view of the guy in your heart.

Kawawa naman ang love life ko... ~____~!!!! That's all i can say....hahaha

This had to be one of the most outrageous pairings I ever saw in a fanvid. Forgive me for being such a noob but I just couldn't imagine these two being put together in one video, and when someone did....I could not help it but shrug, smile and laugh somewhere in the middle. No offense to the fanvid's creator....just stating what I thought about it.


Credits to: 0dzytrash @ youtube

Well to those who dare to view it, I hope you enjoy it. It's not bad as I say but...yeah, it's just outrageous to me...hahaha...
Anyways, enjoy~! XDDD
