Postless
Saturday, September 30, 2006

I am totally postless as of the moment. Pardon me. I'm currently loving my LJ and my emo posts.

Here's a kiss for you though. Thanks so much for visiting my blog =D Till my next post. (Hope it won't take that long though)

Dream of Me
Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Are Kevin and Rens really dreamable? (I don't even know if that makes sense.) So anyway at dawn yesterday I had this totally weird dream about those two guys. I'm not sure how they came about, also considering I don't even know them personally. Eeek. The moment I woke up I went straight to the laptop in my room and typed this bit which got stuck in my head while I was sleeping.

Was it a dream?

I was out in the living room, writing a blog post in my laptop when Vinkz came out in the middle of the night to get some snacks I think. I noticed him walking by the corridor, I wanted to say hi, but it seemed that something was bothering him. So I went and followed him into the kitchen to see what it was about. I opened the fridge to find something to eat. Not finding what I want, I settled for bread instead. Then when I closed the fridge I saw him sitting in a chair with some pose. So I said, "Ang emo mo talaga."

That's all I remember. Then when I woke up, I was getting confused on whether that person was really Vinkz or Heneroso.

Tsk tsk.

Can you actually give up on love? It seems that love operates in so many different ways. You're being pursued, yet, you have no feelings for them at all, or worse of all, you couldn't even care less. Also, you're spending so much time with a particular person, yet, that's all there is to it. What's the deal?

God knows how many commas I put in that paragraph above.

Sometimes you just don't get what you want. For everything else, there's MasterCard. To translate, yes I get my shit, such and such. But what if I say I want you? Can I keep you? I don't think so.

Tagness
Tuesday, September 26, 2006

Yay another tag, which gives me another reason to post. This one's from Jhed and Ron. I don't know how many times they've tagged me all in all, but I've been pretty cool with tags anyway plus they're both my closest in the blogging world, so it's all good.

INSTRUCTIONS:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Paolo Nutini - These Streets

I just knew about Paolo Nutini from MTV's You Hear it First coz I subscribe to their podcast in iTunes for my iPod. Eversince then, I've fallen in love with this 19 year old guy who's all the way from Scotland and actually sings soulful music. I've been listening to him nonstop now and his voice is just breathtaking. I even did a cover of one of his songs in YouTube. If you're one of my YM buddies, you might have noticed I put paolo nutini is my new boyfriend <3 as my status message. That is indeed true, HE is my NEW BOYFRIEND. And no one objects to that.

2. Santana feat. Steve Tyler - Just Feel Better

This was the song which helped me get thru my depression dark stage early this year. When I watched the video in MTV and basically read the lyrics, I figured, this is SO my song. And until now I'm still into it. This is definitely one of my life survival songs.

3. Regina Spektor - Samson

You are my sweetest downfall. I am amazed by this song. In a good way of course. Regina Spektor is one of the best songwriters I know up to this date.

4. The Cranberries - Linger

I've always loved The Cranberries. I grew up listening to their songs, but after venturing and discovering new music and genres, I kinda forgot about them for a while. Until I saw the movie Click. It definitely restored my love for this song, which has always been my favorite from this band. =)

5. OK Go - Here It Goes Again

You're probably thinking I liked this song because of the video. Well you're not wrong right there. The moment I saw the video of this song it got me so excited. I thought only the video would be good, little did I know I was getting addicted to the song as well. Marvelous.

6. Spitalfield - Am I Ready?
I recently added Spitalfield in my list of favorite bands. This song is so nice. I don't know how to categorize them, emo, rock, punk, whatever. I'm not big with genres anyway, whatever sounds good, then I go with it. (I can't find this song in RBG!!)

7. The Strokes - You Only Live Once

The first time I heard this song was when I was browsing through one of my old friends' MySpace profiles, and she had this as her MySpace Profile song. I was like, "I gotta download this!" I've always loved songs from The Strokes, but like with Cranberries, I wanted to venture and go in search of new blood and new bands that I neglected their music for a while. It felt fresh listening to them again.

I'd like to put 3 more songs into this tag hence, breaking the rules a little. Some other songs I'm into right now:

Kanye West feat. Adam Levine - Heard 'Em Say

Dirty Vegas - Days Go By (Acoustic)

Blue Six - Music & Wine

(Both songs not in RBG)

All of the above songs aren't in any order whatsoever.

Best Friend
Sunday, September 24, 2006

Okay there are going to be THREE aspects to this post. I feel bad for not updating my blog the past few days even though I've been checking it regularly.

Recap
This week has been quite a ride for me. Going out almost every single day with my boys + the rest of my friends. Cafe hopping, billiard hall hopping, malls, dinners etc etc. I'm not complaining about my life right now, but maybe I'd wanna give EXTRA EXTRA effort to my studying. I mean I study and all, but I feel I'm not giving my 101% effort into it. It's definitely time to reflect on academics.

Third Wheel
I just got home from dinner with my bestfriend Noemi, and her boyfriend Glenn at La Piazza. These 2 people have been the ones I've spent my great high school days with. It's great to catch up because all 3 of us study in different schools now. I never feel like a third wheel whenever I'm with them, but sometimes I just wished I had someone for my own too. Oh well. The highlight of the night was definitely when Glenn was driving us home and suddenly we heard a car screech beside us, the next thing we know, the car brakes screeched again and there was this girl who flew right way to the road, and the Hyundai Atoz just sped up even more. Talk about Hit and Run. It wasn't a good sight. We were panicking in the car as if we were part of it. Good thing a public transport stopped the Atoz and some other people along the road. Why can't some drivers just take responsibility?

Best Friend
Last, but not at all the least, I'd like to greet my DEAR best friend a super HAPPY SEVENTEENTH. I've been best friends with this person for almost a decade already, 8 and a half years to be exact. And those times, I have never had a falling out with her. It's amazing how are friendship has gone through so much and we're still as strong as ever until now. I just love her to bits and NOTHING, can ever destroy our friendship.

Cheers to you Noemz! I can't wait to get our licenses next week (Indo legal age: 17) lol, we can sneak out with our cars! Just kidding ;)

Frustrate me!
Wednesday, September 20, 2006

I have just totally realized that when I'm frustrated, I'm actually more efficient. These past 2 days have been really frustrating for me. But you know what I did? I hit the books. Well not literally, but yeah I actually read and studied (not THAT much, but as you know me, I'm such a lazy person). I took a break off the internet for a day (which was yesterday) and just read in my room, labelling the chapters in my thick Economics textbook. The result? I was pretty confident with my midtest this morning.

I'd just spent the whole day with the guys. We played billiards in a snooker table, and I was the first one to make a shot from my two billiard pro boyplens. Anyway, I just really wanted to state that achievement.

I wanna have a laptop. (I have one, but this is practically from the 1970's) =) Do you hear me Santa?

Sorry for my boring post. I'm in a rush to do this project (I'm frustrated again, thus I'm being EFFICIENT) which is due tomorrow. To make a website (YAY). Muslim fasting is beginning soon, and that means I can totally look forward to this October holidays. Hong Kong and Cebu here I come! (Tell you more about that later). Toodles for now!

Like duh?!
Monday, September 18, 2006

So I am back. What made me come back? It's a girl thing. All I know is that I was totally PMS-ing and I wanted to blog about it and I was itching to make a new layout so here I am! I have to start getting used to posting decently because I'd gotten so used to posting bullshit and rants about my life because I knew NO ONE or merely a small population read them, but now that I'm back in Blogger again, it's back to business!

So what's been happening to me? (Wow there's been sooo much.)

I left during the last day of August and it's been more than 2 weeks since I left? Well a lot has happened in my life believe me in that short span, I feel as if everyday is a new day for me and there's so much happening that I have to actually stop and take a little breath. And I definitely can't remember them that I have to put them all here.

1. I went to Singapore sometime 2 weeks ago. I only spent about less than 12 hours there. Sightseeing, met my old classmate and hung out, then went home! I just realized that in the span of these 2 years, 2005 and 2006, I've gone to Singapore 7 times already, I feel as if I already know the country so well (and that's just for '05 and '06!). Plus I don't even have any relatives there.

2. A dear friend left Indonesia because his mom got stationed to work in China now and he had to go back to Manila because his grandfather died of cancer. It was such a sad moment for us, and maybe especially for me because he was such a good friend and of course, I hate losing friends. I know we would meet again, but not getting used to seeing him everyday felt kinda weird after that.

3. I'd been posting in my little sanctuary called Xanga. Some of you may or may not know, but yes, I'd been bullshitting there about stuff that's totally comment-unworthy. But you know what? I loved it. I loved being able to write freely whatever thoughts came into my mind without having to think what people would think and such. Some were just even one-liners, and some personal.

But oh well, once a Blogger. Always a Blogger. Represent!
