BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF

This 2009 I've been blessed beyond belief, and now that it’s closing, it’s just fitting to say that I am thankful for every blessing God gave me and my family. Without him I’d be nothing. 2010 coming baby. Let’s all pray for our intentions that they may all come true and yes let’s all have fun tonight with the parties and the dinner. Keep safe with the fireworks and whatnot and don’t forget to say shabba!!! (A word I got from Sarah & Vicky- you dolls rock! I had a fun talk with you a while ago. *smiles*)

Happy new year to all and once again, shabba!!!

Yearender blog 2009.

Here’s my list for 09memories, inspired by a trending topic on twitter.

Back in January, I was able to go to Star City again for a requirement in school. I was like a kid again.

It was February when my mom underwent thyroidectomy, we stayed in Makati Med for a week and I remember crying me eyes out because I couldn’t filter my emotions, thank God my mom’s doing fantastic now.

I went to audition for a radio program with my best friend back in March. Unfortunately we weren’t able to make it. I felt bad at first but it was definitely worth going for.

Summer of this year we went to Antipolo for swimming. It was awesome.

I applied as a student jock for Mellow 94.7’s student program, this time I was able to pass. I met new friends, I learned the basics of radio, I was able to get some party favors and movie premiere passes courtesy of the station. So yeah, it was a dream come true for me. By the way, I was able to board 3 times, that meaning I was able to go on-air and played music.

I switched sections for first semester sophomore year. I gained new friends, I learned a lot that semester.

I was able to go places this year! Boystown in Marikina was amazing, Cainta and all the east cities of Metro Manila I was able to pass. I was able to go to Manaoag, Pangasinan with my family for a holy trip back in May and also in Novaliches where SHE lives hahaha I tell you it’s pretty far.

This year I also met *toot*. Do you know why I don’t ever mention his name? It’s because I have this fear that you might think I’m demented. Even though we had a short time of knowing each other, I am sure that we built something there, I even felt something there (I’m sure he did too) BROMANCE MUCH? No way man! Even though I’m a straight guy who’s comfortable with my sexuality, I kind of imagined things but oh well, things happen and I know now who’s the one girl I’m going for and I’m sure. There was a promise, there was a promise.

I was close to doing a live feed and update on-air when I was at the stick-on. It didn’t happen.

I won’t forget the Acquaintance party in Alchemy! So much dancing, booze (not for me) and pretty girls.

ONDOY- Who won’t forget that name? I and 3 of my friends were heck close to being washed away in EDSA by the typhoon, I thank God we were able to make it home safe, I pray for those who were killed.

I sang on national radio. That’s something memorable for me.

I trash-blogged my friend, I regret doing that. I’m thankful that we’re okay now.

I watched a movie alone! It was a different experience for me, it made me tear up. The Time Traveler’s Wife is a movie I won’t forget. I and my bestfriend watched This Is It and after that we watched another movie in SM! It was fuuuuuun.

I do hope that next year will be as great, because we could only hope for something better. We are just waiting right now for our VISA and then we’re good to leave, after my kuya graduates from college. It’s going to be awesome.

New look fo'reals hahaha.

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart.

AMAZING.

Always loved Alicia Keys. Get a copy of her album, The Element of Freedom. I just did.

Christmas Parties

Okay, so since I started college last year, I never had the chance to go to christmas parties anymore, probably because of the busy schedule we all have and whatnot. I miss receiving gifts, and giving them of course, and like I also miss that happy feeling that Christmas brings in all of us. I miss bringing and eating food and taking some home if i really wanted to, I miss the smile on my friends' faces and yeah I miss everything.

So what happened yesterday was a throwback kind of thing, we celebrated my friend's 18th birthday and also we had our little Christmas party in...LUNETA! You read that right! it's been waaaay too long since I set foot there, maybe I was 4 then when we first went. I was ecstatic when I found out that we will be having it there. So we had our own kris kringle, we ate, we took pictures and we gave other kids food, I think that's very compassionate of my friends. This party made our friendship a whole lot stronger. Thank you God:)

Things I want for Christmas.

I'm separating my personal wishes list from the material things I want. Here they are.

• Macbook Pro (wishful thinking)
• A black sweatshirt/ hoodie
• New shoes (NIKE AIR)
• 16GB IPod Nano
• Dazed and Confused shirts

New slate.

So my friends and I settled what we have been feeling a while ago at school. It was really nice that you know, we managed to overcome something that we couldn’t control- MISUNDERSTANDINGS. To tell you honestly I didn’t want our group to ever be dissolved cause first, we have built trusts with each other and second, we had time to accept each and everyone for who we are no matter how different we seem from each other. WE LOVE. I think that we have a strong friendship.

I deleted my last entry about my friend, I felt so bad because I didn’t think she’ll read it. Some person managed to let her read it, I dunno why, maybe that person hates my guts for writing what I feel but either way I’ll just leave it to karma. I am happy that even though she read it, she still didn’t think differently of me, I told her that clearly I wasn’t thinking about our friendship when I wrote it and I apologized for posting a blog about her. I really do hope everything’s okay with us, and with our group. Lesson learned- THINK BEFORE YOU ACT. That one goes out not just to me but to everyone who had been in the same situation. Thank you Lord for letting us work this out.

Nothing can tear our friendship apart.

We Rocked Them Speakers.

I would just like to blog about this, so don't argue. I just had my 3rd radio boardwork with fellow SOJ/ awesome awesome person, Jinny! This was an awesome third boardwork cause everytime we board, we just keep on having more and more fun though this time I've got 2 mistakes that I thought I'll never make, that was TO TURN OFF THE MIC WHILE A SONG IS PLAYING. I didn't why I forgot about it but we carried it like pros though, hopefully Sir Chris wasn't mad or anything. He even gave us a treat, Cheeseburger Meal from Mcdo! I thought it was very kind of him. We played songs from the 90's and we had movie moments as our topic. To Jinny, dear you are awesome, so glad we teamed up and keep being your superwoman self, and to Sir Chris, Ate Chloe and Ms. Alex, a big thank you. Mellow 94.7, sounds good!

A Realization.

I realized today that maybe I’m a mean person, it’s one of those times where you think back and go over stuff you did and come up with a conclusion that maybe you’re not so nice as what other people say. I am generally good-hearted, but tell you what, don’t you dare push me to my limits and upset me or my other friends because if you do, I am gonna tear you to pieces if that’s the last thing I’ll do. You can’t be nice all the time.

BOO YOU.

You know what’s sad? It’s when people promise you something and they made an effort to assure you that they’ll fulfill it but then they didn’t actually live up their words and ditched you. Downgrade. I am not even mad at that person, I just feel like I need an explanation because i haven’t felt like a stranger like that in my life, it’s like I didn’t even exist, that person just stopped talking to me after ditching me. Boo. You are a coward. I don’t think I’ll be able to talk to you again.

Little Miss Pretentious

You go around town like you're so popular
You always dress up but you're a hot mess
People look at you, they even think you're hot
But you're absolutely not

You hook up with guys from clubs you can't afford to go to
Just to make it through the long night
But in the morning you wake up feeling empty
Cause the guys you slept with are nowhere in sight

You say you're some action star's daughter
Because you want to be respected
But when people discover who you really are
You'll sure get trashed and rejected

Why don't you just tell the truth
It won't take a lot, unless you're serious
If you want some friends, consider my suggestion
Act accordingly, and stop being Little Miss Pretentious

This Is It Experience

So Ate AJ and I decided to watch "This Is It", it's the movie/documentary of Michael Jackson's rehearsals for his supposedly upcoming world concert series, I can only describe it in a word: GREATNESS. The movie started with interviews from the dancers that were supposed to be participating, they all said that it is indeed a dream come true for them to be part of this.

Then we saw how MJ struts his stuff, how he does the moonwalk, the 45 degree move which I have always wanted to copy. We also witnessed how he sings from the heart, especially the mushy songs he got, "I'll Be There" and "Heal The World" were my favorites. I noticed that he became a little bit slower with his moves and that he always wanted things to be perfect, I mean I don't see it as a problem, come on it's MJ! But you know, if he were alive now, I bet those stadiums and arenas are packed as crazy. One more, he always says "God Bless You" to a crew, dancer or staff if he likes what they did. He's really a nice person

Long live the King of Pop. Love lives forever.

Dreamer

Like a hustler
I keep on fighting
For daily struggles, hunger pains
And finding my inner being

Like a grown-up
I keep on learning
That life isn't always easy
And I still don't know what I'm doing

Like a traveler
I keep on walking
Through life's roads and detours
There were lots of running and hiking

But like a dreamer
I keep on wishing
That someday I'll be happy
And enjoy the air I'm breathing

Semester break to-do checklist.

1. Watch a lot of DVDs.
2. Finish The Hardy Boys books.
3. Update this blog. Still doing that though.
4. Go to Batangas and Marikina to visit our lolos.
5. SLEEP.
6. Get in shape. (that means working out finally)
7. Write poems and songs (always wanted that)
8. Watch "This Is It" with Ate AJ.
9. Go to Mellow for SOJ.
10. Katy Perry LIVE IN MANILA (I'm afraid I'm broke)

Love will find a way.

LOVE. I always thought I'll never find it, probably because me and my heart got issues (that's too deep man) but, thinking about it over and over, I see a possibility that I could start being in love right now, of course with that person. But for some weird reason, THIS person came along and showed me this side where I can really be who I wanna be, damn it. On top of that, I don't think this is where love will find me, I am starting to realize that the person I'm talking about lives 500,000 miles away, that person could be blonde, could have blue eyes or even maybe that girl I idolize, I know if we're meant to be together, then love will find a way to let us meet. Wow, i never blogged like this before, maybe life just decided to hit me.

15 Pages.

Currently doing the script for RTV Writing here at a computer shop. 6 is my number. My day's good so far, I got badminton by 2:30, I'm so pumped for it (you know the reason why). Btw, I saw this girl a while ago along the hallway and man, she looked like a skanky ho. No kidding! The outfit says it all man, I just don't think it's appropriate to wear somethin like that in school.

Well, now I'm on page 12, 3 more pages to go and yeah I'm all done.

Ate AJ and I will go to the mall later to buy advanced MJ tickets, you know what, I'm more excited on the poster that the ticket, lmao. But anyway, i think it would be a great movie. The title of my entry's kinda lame. Much love.

Favorite Music Videos.

Itchyworms- Penge Naman Ako Nyan

Demi Lovato- Here We Go Again

Asher Roth feat. Keri Hilson- She Don't Wanna Man

Bottled up.

I'm in a different state of mind right now. I don't know if I can call it deja vu or somethin cause this feeling usually comes about when the semester is almost over, what is this? Exhaustion? Or am I just really anxious about moving overseas next year? I really don't know. So many things bottled up, and I feel like I need to take a break.

I just completed a very tortuous work, FINISHING my projects that is. I dunno why I got so busy and never started working earlier. I'm a piece of work, and I don't think I care about that anymore.

There's so much that needs to be done by next week and hopefully I get to be successful at it. This is college. Reality just sank in. By the way, I'm also thinking about someone as well, the person I've been waiting for my whole life, and I get temporary happiness when I think about that person. Bye for now.

Much love :)

How I feel.

Ever felt like you're a part of something and it doesn't seem like you belong?

Ever felt like you're patiently waiting for someone and something inside you tells you can't wait forever?

Ever felt like you need someone to talk to but you can't cause you're too afraid to tell them how you feel?

That's how I feel.

My Little act of Kindness.

Typhoon Ondoy may have left this part of the country in the worst conditions it ever had in a very long time, with people still trying to find their loved ones and re-establishing themselves after the damage, it's nice to know that there are foundations which are selflessly devoting their time to help in donating relief goods. That's why I decided to help out, with my friend Bernard (supposedly we were 4, but the 2 girls backed out for some weird reason). We went to Operation Tulong Bayan in Araneta Center and volunteered. It was quite an experience I'm telling you.



We never thought there was so much work needed! But anyhow, we managed (of course we did). First, we were asked to carry heavy boxes of C2, canned goods and mineral water., then we were lined up and we filled the relief packs with each of the stuff that was there, the girl beside me (from U.P.) carried more boxes of water than I did whenever we ran out, plus she's beautiful and lean (impressed I am). Moving on, we stood there for a good 3 hours packing relief goods, I didn't count but pretty much I'll say we packed over 500, and that's good. We ended at noon cause the next batch will be doing their share as well, it was very tiring but definitely worth our time.

It's nice to know that there are still people who care (I'm talking about the other students who joined, as well as the young adults and everyone), they gave their time to help out and I pray to God that everything's gonna get better for those who were affected by Ondoy. I think it's a big help to those in Rizal, Marikina and else where that relief goods are needed. Smile.

State Of Play.

A team of investigative reporters work alongside a police detective to try to solve the murder of a congressman's mistress.

Besides blogging I would like to have this page full of interesting stuff, like movies I've watched. This is my first review, the 2009 movie "State Of Play". I first saw this on the Today Show, they guested Russell Crowe and Rachel McAdams last summer and I told myself "could be interesting", and when it came out here I was unaware, but maybe they had this ready for DVD already so I guess that's why I didn't catch any movie posters at the mall. The movie, is really dark, i mean the setting and the whole vibe of it but the story/plot is really something, I liked how it is all about news reporting and nothing else, there's a whole lot of framing and politics going on in this movie and that pleased me. I love the cast so much by the way, great actors.

The BAHA Experience.

I will never forget September 26, 2009. Pano ba naman, it was the day that we struggled going home, we braved the waist deep flood and we witnessed all sorts of "paghihirap" para lang maging safe mula sa baha na iniwan ni Bagyong Ondoy.

From school, we took a pedicab to the underpass, then kain sa Master Siomai (I didn't like their siomai, sorry). Then we parted ways, Kris, Rachel, Emil and Thea were stranded at Lawton, good thing may unit sa Binondo Suites sina Emil, he managed to let the girls stay there while the 4 of us (Bernard, Krizzia, Quennie and I) went and took a jeep to Baclaran. We were not prepared for the worst.

We waited for 5 long hours just to head home, we even had a hotel plan. But we only had 600 overall so that plan was cut. Everything was absolutely dreadful, it was a disaster. Especially those who are in the low areas, I can't imagine how they will recover and start over from this. I do hope that everyone's helping out. I'm thanking God cause he kept us safe and our home is not damaged.

Things I am not afraid to admit.

1. I'm in love with this girl, but I don't know how long I'm gonna wait. I don't wanna wait too long.
2. I suck at Badminton, even tho I really love playing.
3. I'm bipolar in my head. I need therapy.
4. I always had a man crush with Dane Cook. He's effin cool.
5. I often get attached with new friends, I trust people easily.
6. I watch Top Model and The Hills (I love drama)
7. I haven't played a basketball game, and I would love to learn it all again.
8. I used to blog a lot, but then I lacked inspiration so now it's kinda like once or twice a week.
9. I go to thrift shops and whatever stuff I like, I immediately buy them cause they're cheap.
10. I would love to be Demi Lovato's boyfriend. She's beautiful.
11. I listen to RNB music.
12. I am fragile.
13. I break under pressure.
14. I don't like it when I'm talking to someone and their attention is on to other things.
15. I collect scarfs. Weird.
16. I think Pokwang is the funniest woman on earth.
17. I pray a lot. I got this message that I kept on talking to God but I don't listen.
18. I really want to be a DJ badly. You all know that.
19. I have always wanted to host an episode of Wowowee. I think it would be so much fun.
20. I like taking pictures of myself going to different places. I'm vain like that.

First Day (of the rest of my life)

I am back on this site, because I think it's awesome. Plus, my other blogger account didn't gain any followers. I'm jealous of those bloggers who gain followers, it's like a recognition thing when you got people who follow you, unfortunately I don't have that. First post, yayer.

The title justifies to what I feel right now.
