fresh to play

obvious naman kung gano ka-busy ang buhay natin diba. hai... anyway, mgkkwento na ko:

last friday night i watched the concert FRESH TO PLAY in the Bahay ng Alumni, Diliman Campus. Kasi gan'to un: may fresh nyt sa Manila Campus, College of Pharmacy noon, kaya lang alam kong meron pang susunod na frosh nyt, sa 19 at 26 kaya at alam ko rin na mag-eenjoy ako sa Diliman, so after 1 hour in the CP frosh nyt, i hurriedly went to the unit to pack my books, then to Diliman to watch the concert.

Kamusta naman. UP freshies nyt nga eh. bakit pag galing sa ibang campus may bayad?! Pero pagkatapos mag-isip isip ay napagtanto ko na sulit ang halaga ng Php150. Little did I know how lucky I was going to be... hahaha!!!

Juan Paulo Camaclang & Patricia Janine Icatlo. thanks for accompanying (and protecting??!!) me.

Good thing I didn't miss the performance of professional bands. Nung dumating kasi ako ay college bands pa lang ang tumutugtog. Whew. Salamat po. ang natatandaan ko na lang na order of performance ay ang sumusunod: college bands, Kala, Rivermaya, atbp.... Some of the other artists that performed are Callalily, Chicosci, Barbie Almalbis, Pupil, Sponge Cola, Stonefree, Sugarfree, Juana, Protein Shake, Imago, Up Dharma Down, Kamikaze, Sandwich, Dictalicense, Kjwan, Moonstar 88, Pedicab, Mayonnaise, kasama na rin sila Tuesday Vargas at Ate Glow(both alumni of UP). may nakalimutan pa kong at least 3 bands eh, nabura ko kasi listahan ko. grrrr.

O diba. Nung umalis na nang maaga ung 2 kong hs friends, edi wala na kong kasama, dinala ako ng ate ko (marshal) sa second floor ng backstage, overlooking the nearby stage, kung saan exclusively managers, crew, marshals and artists lang ang nan'dun para doon manood dahil safe and guarded, walang exploiters tulad ng nagkalat sa ibaba ng stage. Just image how lucky I was. Katabi kong nanonood ng walang harang sila Chris, Yael (na mukang susuka na dahil may lagnat), Armo, Gosh, vocalist ng Mayo, vocalist ng Chicosci. hai. sana ganun lagi.



pati napadpad rin kami ng ate ko sa MTV afterparty, kaya lang Pupil na lang ang naabutan namin na tumutugtog. hehehe... 3 am na nakauwi, good thing daddy lent us his car. Sponsors of the Fresh 2 Rock event are: MTV, Campus Radio 97.1, Teazz, C2, Gonuts Donuts, Palmolive, Pulp, Levi's, etc..

hanggan dito na lang muna ang kwento, time to study, i think i'm failing math 17. which is a pre-req of 11 units next sem. badtrip. (meron pa pala: i'm savoring the newly discovered joys of shoulder-length hair! =D)

UP-M

write-ups, reaction papers, reading assignments, august 15 (1916, 1946, 1976) frontpage assignments, loooooong walks(taft-college of arts and sciences/robinsons, gil-faura, gil-un, faura-un, faura-kalaw, gil-kalaw, orosa-taft, walks inside UP-PGH compound) under the blistering heat of the sun(good thing we're allowed to wear slippers!). i'm exhausted.

wed night - we(my cousins, jancel & zach) met up with urie (with miguel, who went somewhere else to eat) in starbucks lorre lorenzo. the funny thing there is they tried to comfort me when i was almost entirely unaffected by what happened (to me and another person. glad that's over!) about 30 minutes to 1 hour before we went down to meet up with urie. hahaha... :)

thursday - (zachary mojica & jancel, kalimutan nyo n un ha? maaga na ko gigcng sa susunod! ahehehe :))

friday - hotdogs, sizzling plate, tocino, siopao.

I hope our Math 17 professor will finally show up on Monday. Speaking of professors, I now know that name of our History I prof, Bernard Kargadilla. FYI: He wouldn't tell us his name when we were in his class.

I was encouraged/impressed by mr.vice pres-usc's 'speech' in the CP audi.. wow. I'm still thinking if i should quote and post what he said in this blog because it might sound too proud if chanced upon by superior-feeling people.

I was super impressed by the UP-M Indayog(tama nga ba? it's the varsity dance group of the university) and by the glee club(what's its name again?!).. Astigin.

I shall always remember the three virtues represented by the lion, tin man, scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. These virtues were explained to us by the priest(sorry i can't remember his name) who celebrated the opening ceremony mass last June 13, 2006. Let me share with you one dialogue he talked about:

PARENT: Nag-aalala akong papasukin ang anak ko sa UP, baka maging radikal ang pag-iisip.

SAGOT: Dapat nga matuwa ka kung ganun dahil hindi lang sarili niya ang iniisip ng anak mo, pati ang mga kababayan at bansa niya.

For me, the answer is correct. It's only fair to cooperate in/do something that will benefit our fellow countrymen who pay taxes used in sending us to school.

I want your opinion.


my goofy guards. ahahaha!!

so far...

eto.. so far magaan pa naman ang mga bagaybagay dito sa maynila.. no schoolworks yet..

independence day

As we are all aware, today is the Philippines' Independence Day. hmmm... Appropriate?! Did our ancestors REALLY become independent on june 12, 1898??? Obviously, no. Even today Filipinos experience lack of freedom and of equality almost everywhere. Let's face it. Power and money could turn the innocent to guilty and vice versa. I wish that that IS a lie, *sigh* you know as well as I do it isn't. I hate it.

wow.

----------

Shift to another 'Independence Day'. It's a song by Barbie's Cradle. :)

If you disagree, I'd choose you over me
This way I'd keep the peace
Keep me inside, don’t turn off the light
'Cause without you how can I breathe

Independence day is not for me
When I'm bound to you, I feel so free

Pretend that I'm a deer, travelling any year
I need you desperately
Night and day I roam you need to take me home
'Cause on my own I can't see, yeah

Here are all my keys, enter as you please
North, south, west, center, east
Teach me not to hide in the deadly walls of pride
Speak to me gently

Nice. :)

Tomorrow. First day in the University. Scary. =<. Huhu..

a million stories and all the promises left unsigned

yumm.. sarap talaga ng french fries. (pinaghirapan ko yan ah, wlang kokontra!! =p)

i've just finished sending my second group message. it's a bit long, my cp asked for confirmation if the message would be sent in 5 parts. sending the message to almost all globe users in my contacts itself took a lot of time. that's what occupied my phone while i was cooking french fries.

anyway, let me tell you stuff about my new blog/url. i moved from www.nnini.tk / blogdrive 'cause i prefer the way blogger displays archive links.

'a million stories' was taken from mojofly's album, 'a million stories and all the promises left unsigned' (w/ mojofly's then vocalist kitchie nadal, it's one of my all-time favourite albums). **shit. wla akong makita na lyrics online. ausin ko na lang to next time pg meron na**

which is a better topleft image, the current one on the top of this page or the one below this paragraph?? tell me.

will write again later. promise. i still have to do something about this criminal case motion.
