and yet one more post after the longest time

i'm still nineteen.

anyway, to other news. Our gig last Friday went well. Practiced till late Wednesday and Thursday night (meaning till 11-ish) and slept over Thurs night. Friday morning was able to catch "Out of the Box," local a capella group from Ateneo, and i know half of the members. So to my History seatmate, Jason (my classmate from Freshman year), and fellow MIS people Isagani and Chino, KUDOS to you guys!!! :D
Friday night, we were supposed to play five songs: Worth Waiting For, Overtake, Piece of Heaven, Steady for Love then Jen's Tagalog song (Kaya Natin 'To). When we actually did it, she forgot Steady for Love. But we ended up doing five anyway coz Bombi's (our percussionist) friend requested Iris. Lighting was okay but not conducive for taking pics so... next time.
We played okay. So for all you people who went, thanks for the support!!!

We're playing again on Friday, 4:30 in the afternoon in SEC FIELD (praying it won't rain) for Silakbo. We're opening.
To you Ateneans out there, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!!! WATCH US!!!


Yun lang po... got a lot of work to go. And we're still doing pre-prod for the video of Worth Waiting for, and Jen decided that we'll only do the MTV Lokal appearance once the video's done, hopefully by Febuary. Still a long way to go, but still... WE'RE GONNA BE ON MTV, AND WITH A VIDEO!!! SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT!!! :D SO EXCITED!!! (can you tell?)

i'm still nineteen

regardless of whatever anyone else may say, I am still nineteen years old.
Okay, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's move on to more pressing things. I.e. updates on my fascinating life.
It was my birthday on Friday and I had a very pleasant wake-up call. Not! Was woken up by my phone: I received a message from a friend telling me that Gorgonite (a "girl" from my past) was hassling her about getting my number. It wasn't even a "happy Birthday!!" Anyway, what a way to wake up.
And of course, the rest of the day followed the initial mood of the morning, as it usually does. Nothing special happened. After chee's class (2:30pm)we went to Cubao to get our bus tickets, but the latest (note the LATEST) time we could have left was 8pm (I usually leave really late --around midnight-- or right after my last class for the day, usually around lunchtime). Anwyay, Chee insisted we had to go to Youth Jam so we got the tickets for the 8pm bus, third row from the back.
Went to YOF, and after the praise portion and Pastor Rico greeted me, I motioned to Chee that we had to go. Then Jen, who was sitting beside me, went to the next row and got out this cake (chocolate of course) and an envelope full of notes from friends from YOF and Ateneo. How sweet!! At least my day was redeemed.
So Mark, thanks for choosing the cake. It was really yummy!!! (although I didn't eat much of it, my family is full of matakaws)
Chee and I spent the weekend at PMA. Toured her around, this time walking Pola, the Yorkshire terrier and not Elvis, the dalmatian. Pola's so cute!!! Had a small barbeque party after Church on Sunday. My family put together this album/scrapbook and it was so cute!!! My dad crammed it daw, and everyone helped. My favourite page is the one of all my crushes, care of my dearest sister. Hehehe...
Went shopping with Chee at ukay-Ukay. We got some good stuff (Chee got so much goods!) so it was nice. Will post pictures of some of our finds when I get copies of them myself. Wnet back down to Manila Monday/tuesday midnight. (i'm never sure where midnight falls)
Anyway, I'm back in school now. Back to the same old, same old.
Oh, during my Games Development class (our first official class) Sir Eric was giving us the rundown on Computer Games History and was giving out bonuses (as in Choco-Mallows) for correct answers to his questions--mostly trivia. Anyway, I got my Mallow early on through this super chamba answer. Thus satisfied, I just sat out the rest of the class, waiting for my classmates (90% male) to battle it out amongst themselves for the rest of the yummy treats. Obscure trivia questions followed, and suprisingly most of these guys knew the answer!
My reaction, sitting in my chair, looking at the passionate faces of all these young men who probably wasted most of their childhood on a FamilyComputer or a PlayStation:
"T'm surrounded by GEEKS!!! AAARGH!"

at least I'm not a geek. Just a nerd...

back in school

  • Gawrsh haven't updated in the longest time...
  • Jen and I were in Baguio for five days, from the 28th to the 2nd. Had a really good time. We didn't stop talking the whole trip up and we stayed up late talking about Philosophy before we went to sleep and woke up talking about Apologetics. We are such geeks!!! Hehehe... Met up with Ceres, who slept over on Monday night because we had a barbeque and her house is kinda far. Stargazed with Jen, Ceres and my sister in the backyard while the bonfire stuttered (firewood was a bit wet).
  • Anyway I'm back in school and it's all good. Managed to load rev so my classes are... better than what i got the first time around. Basically on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have class from 9:30-12:30 straight (History, then Operating Systems and then French 4) and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have classes straight from 7:30am till 1:30. (Philosophy then Theology then Database Systems then Games Development). Whooohoo!!!
  • Just ate... waffles and a hotdog and a sunny side up egg with a little portion of potato salad, and all for P35!!! (that's around 50p, to my Brit pals!!!) We have a free cut for Database class so had time to do that and post something new... gonna have my favorite class with Sir Eric (Games Development) with a lot of fellow nerds. How come none of the nerds I know are like Ryan Phillippe? He was a nerd in Antitrust!!! Hollywood, yet again you have failed me by giving me false hope!
  • There are no life forms!!! (hehehe... not that I care anyway... not much...)
  • Oh yeah! Watched The Incredibles with Chee and Vida last night. Went to the cinema in MetroEast. Horrible cinema, smelled oddly like... feet. And Chichi said the seats were weird. but the movie was so good we forgot all about the yucky cinema.
  • THE INCREDIBLES ROCKS!! WATCH IT! WATCH IT! WATCH IT!
