THE SILENCE
This is a shot of the band that played during my birthday bash. As said by the title, they are known as The Silence. They are wickedly awesome coz all of them have the vocal talent and at the same time all have a very pleasing personality.
MAGIC CIRCLE OF FIVE
A shot of my cousins during the bash. From left to right: Paolo, Lawrence (MVP High Winner), Ishilafufu (one of my emcees during the bday), Kwiky (the official provider of these photos), and Dyosa Illinois (another emcee tandem with Ishilafufu)
NOTE: !@#$%&, what the hell! Just when my photo uploading just became successful, it gives up on me again resulting that 7 more images haven't been uploaded yet. CURSES! The follow-up soon to come.
LAST WEEK's 7th DARK-STAR SPOT TAKEN BY THIRD VILLAREY
Sorry if I wasn't able to post something about last week's Dark-Star. Hopefully I can make upthrough this post. Ladies and gents, the 7th Dark-Star is Third @ http://dvillarey2006.blogspot.com. What made him my chosen Dark-Star for last week was the fact that I just couldn't help but give him the spotlight at last after 4 consecutive nominations as a possible Dark-Star.
So here we have him, Mr.Villarey as our chosen Dark-Star! If you wanna reach the guy, IM him via YM @ dvillarey2006@yahoo.com.
8th CHOSEN DARK-STAR RINA @ http://www.cheesyness.info/kawaii/
After a long shot of newly found bloggers on my connection, one of them was just irresistable that I just had to put her on my Dark-Star list. Having the phrase "huwag ka nang iiyak" all over her blog just gives you a place of comfort. No, not a restroom, but a place to chill out for a bit with her awesome blog entries that will surely add sunlight to your stormy afternoon. And I mean that literally. I know my day was complete after all those gray clouds supertyphoon Paeng brought to me.
Here we go, Rina as the chosen Dark-Star for Week 8. IM her at sakura_hermione@yahoo.com to get to know the cutie behind the bloggie. (ohkay, that was just an attempt to make the ending a tad bit rhymey, guess it was unsuccessful...)
BRING IT ON: ALL OR NOTHING (cool yet the worse yet)
Starring major cutie Hayden Panettiere (from Racing Stripes and Ice Princess) and the new gal on the block, Solange Knowles-Smith (yup, good guess, she's Beyonce's sister), Beacon has once again made another Bring It On movie as a whole new story in the follow-up for another top dawg movie follow-up from Bring It On Again. The whole story is about Brittany (Panettiere), the captain for the #1 cheer squad in their state, the Pacific Vista Pirates. But all of her hardwork to get the captain spot, not-to-mention her dream quarterback football boyfriend, goes down to flames when her father loses his job. She is then forced to move to Crenshaw Heights. Their she meets Camille (Knowles-Smith), and her two girlfriends (as in chums, not as a lesbian, dummie...) Kirrisha (Giovannie Samuels, from Nick's All That) and Leta (Francia Almendarez, damn, she's one hot babe).
To satisfy her thirst for cheering, she joins Crenshaw Heights Pirates and finds herself in a rivalry with her ex-team headed by bitchy-whore Winnie (I forgot her real name). This movie features a lot of newbie people as similar to Bring It On Again, but this one is just another trying hard movie to equal its original Bring It On. I'm not saying it suck coz I liked it, but it wasn't as fun as its original. Still, it was pretty much another bomb diggity. Although it was probably one of the most cheer-otic because of Pacific Vista's vulgarity in the Rihanna-search.
BLOGGER IS A PIC FAILURE
Hehe, la lang. Kakainis kasi ayaw i-upload ng Blogger yung pix na gusto kong ilagay. Kaya wala man lang masyadong pix yung mga entries ko. Oh well, I guess its because of our somewhat lousy computer internet connection as well.
Lord, please improve my computer's connection to the internet. Amen...

Paladin of the Rust Dragon
By: Edwin Theo Rodriguez
(an English sonnet)
I walk in a forest wearing a cloak and hood
To look for thy master, the scapegoat heir
But on my journey I was given a big scare
By the sight of the dragon as mighty as it should
The dragon’s color was as of rust wood
Which released a from it’s belly an intense cinnabar flare
As a knight, oh yes I would dare
To slay the dragon as hard as I could
And I fought so hard until blood spurt from it scale
As I said, “Dragon, you must bow down to me,
for I shall be your master.”
And now I am proud to wear dragon-scaled mail
I, the knight with a spirit so free
The paladin I am, going faster and faster

MY VERY OWN BLOG-SKIN
Well! Finally, after realizing how unoriginal my former blogskin was due to the fact that I got if from another person, I decided to make my own featuring Final Fantasy VII's Dirge of Cerberus. I made it myself, except the drawing of course! I just kind of did a few editing to my former blogskin and maintained a few parts. But overall, its all my work.
Special thanks to www.dirgeofcerberus.net for the wallpaper download that I used to create my blogskin as well as to Charmaine Hunt (The Apprentice 5 candidate) for answering my e-mails despite her hectic schedule with The Apprentice in the past season.
PARIS HILTON (a follow-up to utakGAGO's post)
Paris Hilton...
Almost everybody knows about this model-gone-actress-gone-singer. Probably best known for her reality show, The Simple Life (with co-star Nicole Richie), and of course for her debut album self-entitled Paris. Some may just simply adore the divinge heiress to the multi-million hotel tycoon biz. Others may just consider her as a self-centered biatch.
Focusing on Paris' reality show, "The Simple Life", you may think that both Paris and Nicole are idiotic girls who care more about themselves then others. But what you probably don't know about their gig on "The Simple Life" is that their not stupid at all. They just play stupid like those college cheerleading peanut-brains, their actually intelligent in their own way. What they actually lack is the EQ factor.
I'm sure most of us adore Paris and sing our heads off "Stars Are Blind" (Katrina Halili loves this song by the way) and "Nothing In This World", but lets all not forget that celebrities are people too. They have their own emotional states, so don't attack them like a pack of hungry hienas. But if the time comes, call me, and lets bring hell to the celebrity assholes!
ARTEMIS FOWL ADDICTION
Well, as I mentioned before, I already finished the fifth book to the bestselling series to Artemis Fowl and once again nabitin ako. This really ain't much of a major post about the book, but if you guys have any interesting books lying around that are up-to-date and seem interesting, may I borrow them? TY!

MY FIRST DAY HIGH SUCCESS
Well! I'm very happy to report about the successful birthday bash I had last October 22, (Sunday). Well, it was successful in a way that almost everybody enjoyed and the fact that I hadn't even eaten lunch and dinner for the whole day. I was so happy na may naki-jam na batchmates ko sa banda kagabi. I'd like to acknowledge Raxenne, Kev Moses, Jennifer, Marlon, Paul, Lynda, Coleen, and Katrina Sarao-Suzuki. I was so shocked that many of my guests gave me gifts last night. I wasn't really expecting so many gifts, so I'd like to thank those who gave me gifts kasi lahat ng gifts niyo, nagagamit ko na ngayon, hehe...
Well, I didn't go to school today because of my overstressed body. Most of my energy went to the party last night so here I am typing. La kasi me magawa eh, kakaboring. I was wearing a "Nice Guy" High costume then, and sad to say not all followed the dress code. I don't blame them though, medyo mahirap din maghanap ng First Day High costume kung tutuusin. Well, I did have an award ceremony. Wherein I awarded the following in their respective categories:
(1) Nice Guy High Award = Joseph (uh... nakalimutan ko yung last name niya, light blue yung suot niya nun kaya yan yung award niya -_-;)
(2) Sosy High Award = Thelma Marie Coleen Inigo (ang tanging sumunod sa dress code, ganda ng outfit niya, very sosy, duh...)
(3) MVP High Award = Lawrence Sobrevinas (ang pinsan ko, naka-jacket siya nun na medyo MVP, gangster nga daw sabi ng pinsan ko eh, either way pwede na siyang MVP)
(4) Rebel High Award = Irish Nina "Kwik" Rodriguez (ang pinsan kong Rebel High inside-out; Rivermaya-addict siya tapos naka-black so bagay sa kanya yung award, dami nga nilang Rebel High kagabi eh, hehe)
(5) Brainy High Award = Valeryn Arazon (my classmate who just happened to be in a slightly yellow blouse, since she was the only one in yellow last night, she got the award ^_^)
(6) Unique High Award = Celine Antonette Cruz (the unique gal in full brown, aka Brownie High)

EXAMS ARE OVER, STRESS IS STILL THERE
24/7, if I was a cellphone, araw-araw na lang akong low batt. I'm already stressed out by my overhectic schedule, pati na nga Saturday at Sundays ko eh, wala nang pahinga sa sobrang dami ng gawain. I just hope that sembreak will give me the chance to rest and not be another stunt for more projects. My college entrance test to the University of Asia and the Pacific is coming up, gotta study again. -_-;
OOBLAY
^ Weird word huh? Just something I hear from our amphitheatre for a performance. Its called the Congo, sounds more like a disco dance song then a speech. Sad to say, I'm gonna be a part of it, waah...

Ladies and gents, our 6th Dark-Star for the Week, Kironobu! This guy is all-out in his posts and is reflected by his awesome personality and not-to-mention his terrific blog. And his attachment to the anime world especially with the Gensomaden Sayuki stuff on the blog skin definitely gives him a place on my Dark-Star list.

A RUSHED LEAKAGE...
Hi guys, well, here I am again. Damn my life sucks, and so does yours, some may think. But anyways, I'd just like to follow up a part of my leakage, and he might probably become my 6th Dark-Star due to his awesome blog. Well, I'm not gonna mention who he his yet, but if you want to try to guess who, here's a little hint. His blog layout has a hint of Gensomaden Saiyuki on the left side making him a must-have on my Dark-Star Hall of Fame. But that doesn't mean I'm telling the others to lose hope, your still under consideration, maybe if you can pull something radical onto your blog, I might reconsider. But this guy will most probably make it if you don't do something quick! Hehe... (pressure.)
AN AMERICAN IN PHILIPPINE TERRITORY
It's kinda hard to accept that I still haven't had a serious mingle with any Filipino yet. As in we will talk to each other for a lot of hours without even getting tired of each other. I found a person who is reall interesting, my classmate, Samantha Lu aka Sam who happens to be my official editor for my new book that I'm planning to get published at the same time to donate to the library. I already got an some interested readers that want to read the next few chapters. ALl I gave them was a glimpse of Chapters 1-3. And thats not even 1/6 of the total chapters in the book.
Anyways, enough of that. Well, some of you (well, not most of you) know that I'm American. Yup, in a way I'm a Fil-Am coz my parents are both Filipino but I was born as an American citizen in Massachusetts, USA. Although don't get me wrong, the Philippines is a great place, I've gained a lot of friends, social lifes, etc., but I wonder up to now, why do I still long for the United States of America? Darn, and to think that I know the Philippine National Anthem for then the American National Anthem. LOL.
CODE:AIRKNIGHT
If you read the part about "AN AMERICAN IN PHILIPPINE TERRITORY", you might have read about my friend Sam to be my editor. Well, you see, I'm planning to submit my work to a publishing company and see if its good enough to hit the bookstores. My dream is to have a bestseller, so now I wanna fulfill that dream. I'll try to make a link to my story so that you can get a glimpse of what my novel is all about. If you like mixing fantasy with scientific-reality, then your definitely gonna LOVE this one.
MY CRUMMY LUNCH
I hate my lunch period, specifically for today. Pano naman kasi, ang tagal kong hinintay ang ulam, bitin pa! I was having lunch with my editor (Sam) today as I usually join her, and it was so friggin hot that I looked forward to go back to the classroom ASAP. But instead, I ended up sweating bullets while waiting in line for a decent ulam (for my American readers, sowee, can't resist using a bit of my Tagalog, bear with me...). I lost my patience and ended up buying rice and a hotdog which wasn't enough for me to consume my rice, yan tuloy, nagsayang ako ng pagkain. Ayoko naman kasing kumain ng plain rice lang without kahit isda man lang even though I hate numerous kinds of fish cuisines. May magagawa nga naman ba ako? Wala...
KUNG MAHILIG MAG-INIS, DO THE WISE GUY HIGH
Wa... Am I a bad person? No you say? Seriously, then you don't know me at all... Just the fact that I like seeing other people suffer makes me feel like a bad person. May pinahiya pa nga akong kaklase ko eh, tapos ngayon I feel so bad for have smart-talking back at her. Sometimes I tend to be a wise guy, esecially when I'm pissed off. When I'm going under my alternate ego, I start acting all evil and suddenly find myself smirking when I see others losing over debates with me. Now can you call me evil? Hold it right there, the rest is yet to so come on Part Two of "WISE GUY HIGH".
End...
END SUB (Visual Basic style, hehe...)

SYET NA HIGH SCHOOL LIFE
Waa... Well, its been a while fellow bloggers. Its been more than a week since my last post, and I have a pretty good reason for not have blogged for the past few days, pati tuloy yung 5th Dark-Star ko, di ko pa narereveal. I've mentioned my 5th Dark-Star in this article so just scan for the results of the leakage. I've been busy with a lot of stuff, mostly related to school, damnit! My Senior life is turning out to my most boring and hectic year in high school as well as a great burden in my life. Nakaka-ulol, nakaka-utakgago (this word is copyright under UTAKGAGO, wahehe), hehe... I barely have the time to relax anymore, coz I pretty much work 24/7, literally. Kulang na kulang na nga ako sa tulog eh.
This is just unbearable, I wish I could find more time for myself. I mean, although in a way I have by reading Eoin Colfer's fifth Artemis Fowl book, it still isn't enough. Ang daming pressure, its too much for me to handle, I've on the verge of overload or even breakdown. I tend to get emotional when I'm totally stressed out, and this situation pretty much counts.
Just a few days more, and finally it will be sembreak. And a few days fewer (uh... okay, that was a bit redundant) will be my exams, holy crap. And a few hours before the first day, I must accomplish my blank clearance, another burden. Kulang na lang yata eh i-torture kami directly, obviously eh indirect torture yung ginagawa nila and I bet they just love it, dang devils. The end of high school update, tune in for more crappy days of my Senior life for I will then be releasing breakdowns by then. -_-;
MY 5th DARK-STAR
Sowee to my 5th Dark-Star for you will be my Dark-Star for about 5 days max only unliket the longer exposures given to my other Dark-Stars. Anyways, I'm proud to declare my 5th Dark-Star to be none other than Mr. Boy Bawang, Kim Charlon Baylon! Its time to bring out those cornic things coz the snack-ng-bayan has invaded my blog as my fifth Dark-Star.
I mean, for those who have been loyalists to his posts, you wouldn't deny that he's a pretty interesting guy. You rarely see guys that make soul releases onto their blogs and live to tell the tale (uh, that didn't exactly come out as I planned the statement to be). May I present to you once again my 5th Dark-Star for the month, Kim Baylon @ http://snack-ng-bayan.blogspot.com. (kinda weird, my 4th Dark-Star was Kimmi and now my 5th Dark-Star is Kim, I wonder if my 6th will have a first name 'Kimberly'? Wah, we'll see, but most probably not coz I already leaked my list for the 6th Dark-Star right below this one.
6th Dark-Star LEAKAGE FROM THE GUY WHO TOOK A LEAK 0_0;
Hey guys, another leakage! Here's my final five for my 6th Dark-Star!
(1) Utakgago @ http://vindication.wordpress.com (who wouldn't agree that this guy is all about loyalty, and his fans are reflecting on it)
(2) Deejay @ http://denib-josette.blogspot.com (kinda getting there...)
(3) Third @ http://dvillarey2006.blogspot.com (this guys is giving his all, but will his all make it to a place in the Dark-Star list?)
(4) Pam @ http://myownpinkchocolates.blogspot.com (she's finally getting to where she deserves as a pink star...)
(5) Yna @ http://sukobna.blogspot.com (our local lady of greatness...)
Wanna bet who will make it? Why don't you blabber about it in my comment box, I'd really appreciate it.
iPOD NANO EXPERIENCE
Hehe, 44 songs is the total of my songs on my iPod, and I'm still waiting for Stars Are Blind on the CD I asked for via CD burning. Well, I've pretty much listened to Confessions of a Broken Heart by Lindsay Lohan for a dozen times so, well, I dunno... Aside from that, I just play Solitaire on my iPod to pass the time by, but time is no luxury I have as of now.
ARTEMIS FOWL AND THE LOST COLONY FINISHED
In three disturbing days, I've finished the fifth Artemis Fowl book by Eoin Colfer which I really enjoyed. Eoin Colfer is like my ultimate idol when it comes to writing young adult novels. He's practically my inspiration in the 17 up-to-date novels I've written. I mean, his work is just so original, its totally fantastic! I'm planning to buy his other book, Half-Moon Investigations at NBS. None of his books never let me down, so I'm pretty sure this one ain't no stinker.
INAANTOK NA...
Well, I'm getting sleepy now, til next time fellow blo-gge-r...ZZZZZ...

NEW iPod Nano!
WAA~~!!! My birthday is fast approaching as well is my mother's arrival fromt the USA! My mom got me an iPod Nano for my birthday fresh from the USA, yahoo! Hehe, yabang noh? Not only that, I really missed my mom ever since June and finally she's coming back at last. Hehe, I'm already planning on what music I'm gonna be uploading onto it, here's my TOP FIVE MUST DOWNLOAD iPod SONGS ONTO MY NEW iPOD:
1.) Stars Are Blind (by Paris Hilton)
2.) Breaking Free (by Zac Efron and Vanessa Anne-Hudgens)
3.) Bitiw (by Spongecola)
4.) Deja Vu (by Beyonce Knowles)
5.) London Bridge (by Fergie aka Stacey Ferguson)
Voila, finally, and to think that obtaining an iPod for my birthday was a distant dream, I stand corrected, LOVE YA MOM!
SCHOOL'S CLEARANCE BURDEN
If there is one thing that our school wishes to bug us with, its with ways to make our high school lives miserable, and the fact that a mid-semester clearance is needed is the last straw. Shit and double shit! As if we aren't pretty much busy already and now they give us another burden. They must love 'signing autographs' for students, in a rip off kind of way that is. What the hell do they wanna accomplish with them damn clearances anyway? To keep us busy or just to see us suffer? I guess for suffering, duh, they must love to see us working our asses off these kinds of things, dami kasing utang eh...
A MYSTERY NOVEL RIGHT IN MEH CAULDRON FOR STIRRING
Don't take it literally though, what I mean is I'm starting to work on some kind of Nancy Drew mystery in modern times wherein my main detective is Aleta Claudion. The plot is kinda like about a murder on some kind of reality model search in the Philippines wherein Aleta is having vacation. I'll try to post my work somewhere but definitely on my blog, but I'll be creating a link so you can view not only this specific novel but my other accomplished novels as well, like Ken Maxximillion Series or Code: Airknight of the Dark Book-I and a whole lot more actually.
I hope you guys support me in my novels, coz its kinda my dream to write a bestselling novel for young adults in the near future coz I know I have a lot of ideas but the problem being is I don't exactly know how to cram most of it into my literary works. Sigh...
STARS ARE BLIND
Believe me, stars are really blind as more than love is blind. "La lang... Trip lang, hehe..."
OUR FIFTH DARK-STAR LEAKAGE
Well, its kinda weird but yah, I'm leaking my own fifth Dark-Star, but not exactly... Rather the bloggers I'm choosing from to become my 5th Dark-Star, two of them I'm reconsidering for another shot for the place despite that they already have been so, so here's my own leakage of the candidates for my 5th Dark-Star together with their blog directories:
Candidate#1 - Kimmi (for the second consecutive time due to her creative wholeness as a person) http://exposedvanity.blogspot.com/
Candidate#2 - Utakgago (as a comeback for the second time around, hehe...) http://vindication.wordpress.com/
Candidate#3 - Third Villarey (somebody I've been keeping an eye on lately, the posts I mean, duh!) http://dvillarey2006.blogspot.com/
Candidate#4 - Kim Baylon (I don't know him personally, but hey, he's one rock-out person...) http://snack-ng-bayan.blogspot.com/
Candidate#5 - DJ (well, I just sorta stumbled onto him during a blog-hop of mine...) http://www.denib-josette.blogspot.com/
That's all I have for my leakage, who do YOU think will make it as my 5th Dark-Star? You can help me choose by leaving a shout-out onto my tagboard or you can comment on this article and leave your choice among my five candidates. But choices aren't considered as votes, more like ways of convincing me to choose them.
NANCY DREW MANIA
And who said that guys can read young lady adult books such as Nancy Drew? Especially for me, I personally read two books a day as I borrow two from the library each day. But I think my Nancy Drew reading extravaganza will be ending soon coz I've read every single one available in the library! Waa... Plus, you could probably say that reading Nancy Drew has given me more ideas for my mystery novel on Aleta Claudion. Nakaka-addict! Something to read while some of my boring teachers discuss.. (Oops, I wasn't supposed to mention that, was I?)
KAPAMILYA, DEAL OR NO DEAL
Hehe, it seems that the 26K get more beautiful every time I watch them, here's my top ten favs:
TOP 1- Sandy
TOP 2- Chloe
TOP 3- Lorraine
TOP 4- Diana
TOP 5- Deejay
TOP 6- Lena
TOP 7- Charmele
TOP 8- Agnes
TOP 9- Arby
TOP 10- Jossein
Hindi naman talaga halata na addict ako sa show noh? Heheheheheheh...
KAY HABA NG POST
Ang haba ng post ko noh? I better end here then, til next time fellow bloggers!
