Blog Up, Blogger Down

2006-12-18T13:41:00.000+09:00

Well, my blog is up and running once again, sad to say that the blogger isn't. Since blogging is just totally out of range in my list of things to do, don't expect me to make my posts oh so common anymore. Well, thats it for now, enjoy!

BTW: As you can see, I have a new blogskin with only a tagboard available. My links are still under processing once again coz theres no space for it, but I'll find a way to fix it, if I have time that is. Comments for my posts are not accepted for now.

So Much For My Happy Ending

2006-11-20T13:02:00.000+09:00

HECTIC SCHEDULE

Once again, I have been working on my academic performance 15/7 (meaning 15 hours and 7 days a week), yup... Halos araw-araw na akong gumigising ng 4:00, even on Saturdays & Sundays. I've decided to give up on a few school activities, and if my grades don't go back to normal, I'm planning to give up a few of my commitments as well. Some of them, I've already given my heart and soul into, especially me being the Vice President on the Communication Arts Society. I guess I got to learn to let go of some of my affiliations for the better. Sacrifice nga naman daw...

I'm having a hard time sa ngayon kasi late na lagi akong umuuwi, haay... Why? Because I have to wait for some of my servicemates up to 5:30pm, then I arrive at home by 7:00pm. Whats worse is nakasanayan ko nang matulog nang maaga, kaya ayun, di na ako nakakapag-aral. I just try to find time to study at school, but its not enough pa rin eh. Being a Senior is no joke, and the burden of this national test coming up is really driving me crazy. Oh well, hopefully I can think of another way on how to make my schedule more, uhm... Spacey?

HALOSCAN NOT WORKING!!

Waa... I can't get Haloscan comment boxes to work on my blog, I even followed the instructions given. Still, its not working! If you guys can help me fix my little problem, I'd really appreciate. For a commentless blog is a dull blog, I think...

THE ULTIMATE DARK-STAR 2006

Its time to cast your votes on who deserves to be my blogger for the year of 2006. Yup, anybody can enter and no explanations are needed. You can vote as many times as you want for all I care, as long as you vote!

Polls for the votations will be posted oftenly, when I have the time. ^_^

Introduction: Nightmares of Autumn

2006-11-19T14:41:00.000+09:00

Welcome to the newly launched "Nightmares of Autumn" blog. Let me give you a few "Question & Answer" behind the scenes to what is the blog all about...

Q&A:

Q: What is "Nightmares of Autumn"?
A: A continuation to Autumn Breakaway, every single blog title reflects on my current situation in life. "Nightmares of Autumn" represents my greatest fears that are actually coming to life before my very eyes. You could actually put it simply like this, I've already stumbled and now I've stumbled lower into the ground, into a void of infinite darkness. That is what Nightmares of Autumn means.

Q: How come you chose "Nightmares of Autumn" as a blog identity?
A: Well, as I said in the first question, all my greatest fears are coming to life. And quite lately, I've been having dreams of splendor that fades to chaos. I guess you could consider them my nightmares, thats why I chose Nightmares of Autumn to be the title of my blog. To be honest, I also considered using "Autumn Foresights" or "Fears of the Autumn Shadows", but I decided to to settle with "Nightmares of Autumn" to be a bit of an opposite to another blog I saw which was actually owned by a batchmate of mine. Sad to say, she closed it down.

Q: What is your 'personality' in "Nightmares of Autumn"?
A: Personality? Uhm... I guess you could find me in a bit of a more mature state, but I'd still maintain a level of, erm... Happiness... But I have a darker soul in this state, just call me the Grim Reaper in-training...

If you got any other questions about the new blog, feel free to send them via my tagboard...

Welcome to My New Blog...

2006-11-19T14:09:00.000+09:00

Well, actually its the same blog, but with a whole new funk to it. I totally changed my style of blogging so expect to see my metamorphosis as a blogger.

Not So Interested

2006-11-14T20:14:00.000+09:00

BLOGGER BLUES

Ack... I dunno why, but I think I'm on the verge of breaking my motivation in blogging. I dunno, I guess I always have a lot of things on my mind for that to have happened. Its kinda depressing for me coz blogging has been one of my favorites things to do and has ALMOST been a part of my life. ^_^

STUDENT RUNNING ON PURE ADRENALINE

More tiring days at school, more days that somehow contribute to the breaking of my very fragile motivation to study. I've been busy working out some choreography for an upcoming assembly this Saturday. For the first time, I have been chosen to lead a group of student to come up with a presentable performance. I gotta admit though that I'm more of the stage director that the choreographer, especially kung di ko feel yung pinagaabalahan ko. But the teacher who asked me to do it is just the type of person I don't want to say NO to. But I guess I'm enjoying it anyway and I guess I can consider it a challenge for me for the development of my leadership skills...

THEO-LOGY

OH MY GOD...

AFTERNOON POST:

NOTE: After realizing that I shouldn't create a new post for my afternoon blogging, I just considered to edit my morning post so that all the comments for today will go in only one Haloscan Box. So here we go!

STROLLING AT SM WITH PARIS HILTON

Interested in knowing how I made it with Paris Hilton at SM Megamall? Then read what I have typed...

After typing my morning post, I decided to watch America's DEAL OR NO DEAL online with host Howie Mandell. Followed by that, I watched Donald Trump's The Apprentice which was kinda boring since I've already watched it thrice. My mom came in and literally ordered me to take a shower which I did since I really needed one badly because of the cold atmosphere of our suite. I think I took 15-20 minutes of relaxation taking a hot shower.

I then changed to my normal clothes until I found out we were going to SM Megamall and everybody else was ready, oh fuck... I changed once again into my malling clothes and walked out of the suite with a frown plastered on my face, I wasn't in the mood for hillbilly dilly-dally at that moment. We literally walked to SM Megamall since it was near by, but we had to take a few shortcuts to get there. First we passed by The Podium then St.Francis Square and finally arrived after a few minutes of walking torture. Luckily I had Hayden Panettiere singing on my iPod then so that at least I can feel a bit of joy on such a lousy day.

Upon entering SM, we climbed all the way to the top floor via escalator. Then it was time to seperate, my tita gave me and my cousins P1000.00 each (hell yah!) for shopping. So then we started strolling, until we decided to go to the record bar. Since I had a P500.00 Tower Records Gift Certificate from my aunt, I decided to use it there. I kept on finding the perfect cd, and then I spotted Paris Hilton, her cd that is. There were two kinds, one with a DVD worth P800.00 and one w/o a dvd worth P350.00. Damn, I should have gotten the one with the DVD and just could have added P300.00 to the P500.00, but stupid me decided to get a Pinoy Dream Academy CD worth P150.00 to total to P500.00 exact.

And there I was, strolling with Paris Hilton in the background. I never said I literally strolled with Paris Hilton at the mall, right? And not only that, the CD came with a free voucher to her perfume, so I got that too. Paris Hilton for Men, I didn't even know she had a line of perfume for men as well. The card to her perfume read 'how Paris Hilton wanted her man to smell', when I smelled it at first, I smelled MELON. Yup, melons, then I blurted out a joke to my cuz. I bet Paris wanted her man to smell like melon because she doesn't have any melons to brag about, get it? If you don't get it, you must be innocent. So thats makes it strolling with TWO Paris Hilton, bwahahaha...

So here I am now, listening to Paris sing on my iPod, haay... Its such a boring day, my god! Despite that I'm living luxury as of now, its still boring ya know. Don't worry, next time, I'll tell you about my experience when I had a chat with Nicole Richie, hehe...

Coming Later: MY EVENING POST!

MORNING POST:

DISCOVERING PASAY'S -DISCOVERY SUITES-

Hey guyz, sembreak is almost over. Talk about a total killjoy. Well, here I am blogging at a totally prestege hotel called Discovery Suites. I mean, the airconditioning is so friggin' cold and I think I overate at the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, oh crud. It was so funny coz we kept on stashing food in our bags, we just sorta sneaked the food out. We got a tubs of yogurt, bwahahaha...

The internet connection here is so convenient, its so friggin faster then Netopia's internet connection! I'm so looking forward to a hot shower later and hopefully, if I got the time, I'm gonna take a hot tub bath. I totally missed practice today, damn my club mod's gonna get so friggin' pissed. And to think that I'm supposed to lead today. *burps* Urgh... I ate too much. I think I ate too much omelette, at least I didn't eat any prunes, that might have been the last straw to total toilet explosion.

We're gonna be going to the mall later, hell ya!

THEO-LOGY

I'll make this a point. If you see THEO-LOGY as a header, that means the article is gonna be gory, funny, censored, or just plain weird. So here's my first THEO-LOGY story.

CHARACTERS: Theo/JR, IB and Ish (my cuzins)
>Our breakfast buffet was coming to its toll when everybody started getting ready to leave. I saw my cousin get a few yogurts, all in different flavors. I thought they were gonna eat it until she started talking.
>IB: Hey JR, can I borrow your bag??
>(I hold out my bag)
>Theo: Why?
>IB: (points at yogurts)
>Theo: Wha... Oh my God! Oh hell no! Are you really gonna do that?
>IB: (gets bag)
>(all at the table burst into laughter, us teens that is...)
>Theo: Uh... Anybody want some yogurt?
>Ish: Yogurt?
>Theo: Ya know, (quote, unquote) YO-GURT?
>Ish: Oh! The yogurt!
>Theo: (stands and gets two tubs of yogurt, returns back to table) Shh...
>And then we leave, la lang. This is either comedy for you or another plain, weird and senseless article...

NINTH DARK-STAR: RALPH da FRAPPPSTER @ http://frapppster.blogspot.com

Who said vanity is for girls only? Us guys can be more vain then gals ya know. And Ralp is living proof, considering his blog as a VAINYARD, his articles are all out. I mean, you gotta admit that he's really got it happening with his theme and not-to-mention his articles which makes it like totally reading the daily newspaper? Why? Because you'd always come back for new stuff.

BTW, starting from the last Dark-Star up to the Dark-Stars in the future, pahlease, if you guys want one of those award thingies, just ask one from me. Coz after finding that some of the Dark-Stars don't use the buttons, I've decided that those who actually become Dark-Stars may request it instead. Blech... By the way, I now accept orders for those who want awards made for their own blogs, not Dark-Star awards, I meant if you want your own customized button, just ask me. As long as you don't pester me.

COMMENTLESS DAYS

Sometimes, I wonder if I should go under an anonymous blogspot in thinking that I can start out fresh and finally get people to come to this so-called new blogger's blog. I mean, would you lookat some of my article? Their just plainly commentless. I envy those who get comments in every single one of their articles. Oh well... I'm thinking of closing down the blog soon, ack, I dunno... Its just a thought that I'm considering, ^_^

BDay Photos

2006-10-31T19:18:00.000+09:00

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.

7th & 8th Dark-Star + Infopop

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...

POTRD poem

2006-10-28T16:39:00.000+09:00

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

UNDER MY SKIN (Blog-Skin That Is...)

2006-10-24T11:20:00.000+09:00

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!

7th Dark-Star + Inside B-Day Info

2006-10-23T13:52:00.000+09:00

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)

2006-10-19T21:00:00.000+09:00

AWARDS FOR BOY BAWANG AND KIRONOBU

Featured for the month of October is a limited edition Dark-Star award in honor of the new FF7 game, Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus. In the picture, we feature none other than Vincent Valentine, the main character of the game. Yup, this time, its Vincent thats in focus here and not out blondie, Cloud Strife. This award is limited edition and will only be awarded to three Dark-Stars, find out by tomorrow just who among the two 'leakies' will get the final limited edition award, will it be Deejay or Sorbetera?

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...

6th Dark-Star + Le Facts

2006-10-15T16:13:00.000+09:00

OUR 6th DARK-STAR FOR THE WEEK: KIRONOBU

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.

Once again, I am happy to introduce you to Kironobu, my 6th Dark-Star for the week. You can pay him a visit at http://kironobu.blogspot.com and discover for yourself what greatness lies behind the guy.

OUR 7th DARK-STAR LEAKAGE STRAIGHT FROM THE TOILET RUMORS

This is it guys, another leakage from the guy who took the leak. Well, I've come to conclude to choose from only TWO candidates this time, and who may they be? Let's find out, okay?

Candidate #1 - Third @ http://dvillarey2006.blogspot.com

Once again being on the leakage list, will he finally be able to make it as the 7th Dark-Star? You'll just have to find out by next Saturday.

Candidate # 2 - Sorbetera @ http://sorbetera.blogspot.com

Having been a chosen blog once before by utakGAGO, this blogger just might as well make it as a Dark-Star. But just probably, will this blogger have as much success? Stay tuned to next Saturday to find out!

And by the way, a final announcement. By the time we feature the 7th-10th Dark-Star, I will then be establishing a vote box wherein you can vote for your chosen Dark-Star. From there, we will convert the votes to 25% of the total score needed to the new Dark-Star choosing system. The criteria will be featured in future votes so stay tuned for that.

MY FIRST DAY HIGH BIRTHDAY

Hey guys! Well, its finally gonna be my birthday bash! I've planned it to be a "First Day High" costume party, and I really hope its gonna be successful. It's gonna be held at The Mighty Duke on Sunday, October 22, 2006 at around 3:30pm-8:00pm! To those I asked to attend, I hope you guys can make it, it wouldn't be the same without you! And to those who sent me birthday e-cards and banners, thanks a million! I promise to feature them on my blog to show my appreciation. In fact, I'm planning to feature it on Powerpoint on my birthday bash as well.

I promise to feature some pix from my grand bash. I'll be featuring the 5 best in costumes forBrainy, Sosy, MVP, Rebel, and Nice Guy! More updates are to follow!

END HERE...

I'll end here just for now, I need to handle a few things, til next time!

Pahabol na Leakage

2006-10-12T19:50:00.000+09:00

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!

Marian Songfest Elim + Kimmi as 4th Dark-Star!

2006-09-29T19:54:00.000+09:00

MARIAN SONGFEST ELIMINATIONS SURPRISE...

Wow... Never would I have expected that our class would actually land a spot in the Grand Finals for next week. We landed a tie in 2nd place with another 4th year section. It was quite unexpected actually if you ask me, I was pretty much expecting to land 4th-6th place. But whoa... 2nd place!? Now that was unexpected, I guess it really does pay off to enjoy a song that patronizes "balot"... ^_^ I'll make a follow-up to this soon coz I'm dying to take a bath right now. Its either I'll edit this article later and add some more or just make a new post, okay?

4th DARK-STAR FOR THE WEEK: KIMMI (Oct.1-Oct.7) (my bday's on Oct.6!!!)

Ladies and gentlemen, our 4th Dark-Star you ask? Well, may I say that this is the first Dark-Star that I just kinda stumbled on to by accident when I was blog hoppin'. Once you take a look at this awesome cutie's posts, you could never argue with such perfection and delicate details within the blog that represents such a strong and interesting gal. More info to follow soon...

May I introduce to you our 4th "Dark-Star" for the week, Kimmi @ http://exposedvanity.blogspot.com so don't forget to visit her coz you don't know what your missing!

Grades All-Out

2006-09-24T19:48:00.000+09:00

NO!!!

I cannot believe my eyes at first, but when I finally realized upon what I was looking at, I would have gone under seizure, its my damn grades! You guys wanna see it? Well, okay, although its friggin embarrassing, I guess this will be for the sake of those who don't know anything about what the hell I'm talking about, I'll add in some commentary about each one as well...

GRADES:

Filipino - 83
(I guess I could accept this kind of grade, Filipino is one of my Achilles' heel anyways...)
English - 88
(I was expecting a line of 9 grade, I still considered this grade anyways...)
Mathematics - 81
(this I expected as well.)
Science - 78
(this is definitely an unacceptable proposition! damnit man!)
MAKABAYAN - 83 (this grade is the total average for the subjects below except Rel. Ed. and Gen. Ave.)
*Social Studies - 88 (I was expecting a line of 9 here as well, but I heard a lot got lower, even some of the honors...)
*Technology & Livelihood Education - 81 (total for Practical Arts and Computer)
-Practical Arts - 79 (although low, I still find this acceptable since I got low tests here...)
-Computer - 82 (kinda unexpected, but still okay...)
*MAPEH - 81 (its okay)
-PE & Health - 82 (ano ba yan...)
-Music and Arts - 80 (its okay...)
-Citizen's Advancement Training (CAT) - 85 (ang baba naman, after all I've done...)
*Edukasyong Pagpapahalaga (Homeroom) - 84 (its alright, considering I wasn't able to pass a few requirements)
Religious Education - 80
(I hate CL anyways...)
GENERAL AVERAGE - 82
(whatever...)

Oh well, I might as well accept it...

Rankings All-Out

2006-09-23T12:42:00.000+09:00

Wa.. What a busy day for me, well, its our last day of Unit Tests so why wouldn't I? Aside from that, I found out that I've become the 32nd in rank for the total class standing, can you believe it? And my last standing last year was the 13th in rank, I've gone through a lot, but although I admit that there are a lot more smarter people than me in the class, and some surprisingly aiming higher than me despite their low profiles in class, kakaiba nga naman talaga pag masipag.

I still have one test to go, and its Physics... And Physics is one of my greatest weaknesses when it comes to Academics, Lord save me.

After the test is our assembly to be followed by our distribution of report cards. I'm gonna be in this performance later where were gonna be interpreting the Philippine National Anthem. I just basically got into the performance to help the English pullout students as I mentioned in one of my past blog entries. My role will be a black soldier chasing a Filipina, kinda like in the Philippines back then when the Spaniards, Americans, and Japanese would take advantage of us Filipinos.

Well, I gotta admit that my extra-curricular activities are pulling me my Academics down which is why I've decided to ease down a bit on the performances. Hopefully I could catch up on some studies especially in Physics, Electronics, and Mathematics. Actually, all of these subjects require math which really frustrates me, how much I wish to go back to the days we just memorize terms instead of solving.

I better end here for now, I might as well take a break now.

Til next time fellow bloggers!

(^ presented to Utakgago this Sept. 22, 2006 here at my blog for being this week's 'Dark-Star' that outshined all despite the darkness, (LOL) ^_^)

WEEKLY DARK-STARS Ishi Mayel & Utakgago

2006-09-20T21:57:00.000+09:00

Hey guys, first of all, I would just like to congratulate our two very first DARK-STARS to have outshined other blogs despite the darkness, Ishi and Mayel. To the two, your pins are now claimable right here at my blog so just upload them to your computers and post them on your blogs to show the world your prize. Get them right below this article, ^_^

Secondly, well, its our exam week as well as our report card distribution on Saturday, oh no! The horror of just thinking of getting a low grade really freaks me out. Especially that I know I havem't been able to concentrate on Electronics, Music and Arts, and Physics. Lord help me, just to see only one of my grades on a line of 7 basis is already alright with me as well as the remaining are in the range of 80% and above.

Third, well, my birthdays coming up! ^_^ In two weeks, on October 6 I'm officially 16, can you believe it!? Well, I'm gonna be throwing a big birthday bash on October 28 from 6pm-12midnight, yup, that late. And about the 22 day distance between by birthday and the bash, its the only date I can get to set up my party. Everybody else is busy on the other planned dates so this date is perfectly permanent and not to be changed. To all those I invited, you know where to go, right?

Fourth, well, the HS Musical fad is still stronger than ever among the Freshmen and Sophies but the flame for HS Musical within me has gone from craze to favorite. Its just an all-time favorite for me, but I still tend to listen to the soundtrack often coz I'm practically addicted to the songs from the movie, they brighten my gloomy days. Except for this instance when I was listening to "When There Was Me and You" sung by Vanessa Anne-Hudgens aka Gabriela Montez, I could kinda relate my situation to the song, but my relation is not about love, its about my reputation from cool to drool. Heres how I interpret it in my standards: (*-original lyrics; **-my own experiences)

*I thought you were my fairy tale, a dream when I'm not sleepin'
** I thought being a leader was my destiny, something that I should dedicate myself to
*I wish upon a star its comin' true
** I wished to become a leader and it came true in my 3rd year level as my Golden Age as a leader
*But everybody else could tell, that I confuse my feelings with the truth, when there was me and you
** All my fellow Senior classmates can see that I confuse my dreams with the current reality that I'm not a leader anymore as they continuously look up to the self-absorbed ex-cream section know-it-alls

I do wish to continue the song, but it pains me just remembering it. Ouch... It really hits the heart ya know...

About the know-it-all cream people, well, not all of them are like those other cream !@#$%& brainiacs, take utakgago for example (who seems to be my 3rd Dark-Star to come, hehe...), at least he doesn't take advantage of the others and he doesn't talk to us as if we we're mud jelly (wow, what a term...). Unlike my other cream classmate, I don't wanna mention who, mind you... She (okay, she's a girl) once told me to sit down kasi daw nanggugulo ako sa discipline ng klase, as if na burden ako. Shit, I was supposed to answer back but I held back, wala ako sa mood makipagdebate nun, sinara niya yung kay ganda kong araw, that bitch. What I was trying to do as I was standing up was to help Sam with her writing our choice piece on the board. Next time though that cream gal better watch out, coz I'm gonna leave her speechless, hopefully not in tears coz thats how my last victim in Grade Six ended up. De ja vu as the term goes, it may happen again if that girl put me to my limits. But the main fact that she sees me as a burden really bugs me. If you look at it, shes the one causing the trouble kasi akala niya nakakatulong siya sa ginagawa niya, in fact sinisira lang niya yung tingin ng iba sa kanya with the way she negotiates, akala mo na sa jeepney stop kung magsaway.

Haay, how long am I supposed to put up with this. I mean during June it was fine at first until my gauge started to rise rapidly and I'm about to reach maximum potential, magingat na lang sila. I better end here, I still have a lot of work to do.

Til next time fellow bloggers! To all IV-St.Dominic reading this, don't let yourself get pushed around by people that think they're better tapos ang tingin sa atin ay mga mental escapees.

The Frustrated Planner

2006-09-16T20:38:00.000+09:00

Waa... Tomorrow is yet another war against myself, the ACET is coming, but this time I'm totally armed with everything I need unlike what happened during the UPCAT which I was totally unprepared for. But even if I pass the UPCAT, I still have a deficiency in my record, my Freshman record from ISM, shit... Does that damn school have to haunt me up to now just when I'm starting a new life from drool to cool? Jesus Christ, save me from the nothing I was before who finally became somebody...

This week, I've borrowed a total of about 6 or 7 books from our high school library, unlike other school libraries, theres a slightly wider range of interesting fictional books you can borrow unlike the old fictional books at ISM which are totally out-of-date and look like as if they were secondhand, well, unless they already added some new ones of course which I doubt. Out of all those books were mostly Nancy Drews, I'm a sucker for a good mystery book, even if its for girls. I just finished the one I borrowed yesterday called "Nancy Drew: The Joker's Revenge", it has this cool plot in a department store where somebody's ruining the stuff within it, kinda cool actually if it weren't for the fact that it only took me an hour to finish it.

Well, my birthday is just around the corner on October 6, 2006, yeah! It's gonna be my 16th birthday which is kinda our family's 'debut' age for it marks the final age in high school moving on to college. My parents are allowing me to throw a birthday bash but I'd rather just spend the rest of the weekend at the mall with my friends. Hey, if I ever threw a birthday bash, my friends aren't even wild enough to dance on the dance floor, they're more on the conservative side of life. Which leaves me to two choices: throw the 'costume' birthday bash at a cool venue with full air-conditioning and music or spend a long day at the mall with my friends just to roam around a mall that only takes an hour or less depending on how hast you walk to get around it. I would have gone for the party but I do wanna get that shopping money as well which is worth about P5,000.00 including the group lunch and snacks. Help me, what do you guys suggest? I'm in a pickle right now, dang...

I wonder if my mom is really gonna get me one of those new, expensive iPods for my birthday, I've always wanted one besides my childhood frustration to have a Playstation2 which up to now I don't have despite that we can afford it. My mom's coming home a day before my birthday which is cool so that when she comes, tada, she's just in time. Although I'm pretty sure she's gonna be sleeping all day due to time adjustments. Duh, she was literally one the other side of the world, as in same time from where she is, except PM > AM, or, AM > PM, well, you get the picture.

Well, I'm gonna be pretty busy this September coz I'm gonna be performing in about I think 5 productions in a few days/weeks. And four of them I think I'll be doing all in one day, syet... Pretty hectic for me once again, there goes my relaxation plans for the other weekends to come, sigh...

Til next time... -Theo, the Autumn Shadow ^_^

Blogger For This Week: Mayelistic

Overhectic...

2006-09-13T21:45:00.000+09:00

I can't take it anymore! Its almost every night that I have to stay up late just to finish some school work and its practically driving me nuts! Just right now, I'm retyping our script in English subject called 'Damon and Pythias' and I've been working on it since yesterday, its so damn long. And then I'm trying to catch up on some lessons that I'm still up to now trying to understand. Then I've got my commitments to some co-curricular activities and a performance for the assembly together with those smarties from the "ENGLISH PULLOUT CLASS" or basically an advance English class for the top 30 nerds that excelled in English.

Haay, I guess this is one of the reasons why I'm moody, its because I've been missing out on a lot of sleep which results in having a bad day most of the time. And I tend to eat a lot when I have a bad day, and then poof, my diet is ruined once again.

Lord give me the strength to do this thing, GUIDE ME AND GIVE ME SOME STRENGTH!

Your comments will be most appreciated especially your encouragement as well would mean a lot to me. Til next time!

Crummy Day, Crummy PM

2006-09-09T15:32:00.001+09:00

Hey guys, well, its another dull day for me. Although we've been to SM earlier, my day just doesn't seem complete. Just earlier, I was surfing the net for some Final Fantasy pics, and I came over an article about Squall Leonheart (forgot the site where the article could be found... -_-) . It said that he tends to think a lot more then he should, kinda like more on logic then reason. I guess Squall and I are pretty much in the same boat. Thats why some people think i'm a bit weird, coz I tend to be happy just a few minutes ago and then I get all serious and somehow get engrossed in deep thought, plain weird me.

I went to sleep last night at around 12 midnight, I just took the opportunity to stay up as late as I want. And then this morning I woke up at around 7:30am. The reason for doing so was because my mom from the USA called us up, I didn't want to let the opportunity to speak to my mom pass by so I woke up instantly. But sadly, once I wake up and stay up for a few minutes, I just can't seem to get back to sleep. So I was basically alive, alert, and awake. This morning, I had a small slice of pizza and 4 pcs. of bread with cream cheese, syet, sira nanaman ang diet ko. Then I just spent the rest of the morning playing Deal or No Deal online. Afterwards, my dad told me to get ready coz we were about to got to SM. I took a quick shower and wore my usual attire when I go to SM: a medium-fit t-shirt, denim pants, and my Adidas rubber shoes. What was different this time was the fact that I was wearing my Ryan-hat, the one that i bought on our field trip at SM Mall of Asia, my favorite hat, ^_^.

So we went to SM and much to my dismay did we watch "You Are The One" starring Toni Gonzaga as this records-&-statistics keeper named Sally and Sam Milby as this US Embassy worker. It was kinda okay, but I was pretty much disturbed by the people that would enter the cinema, most of them as teen couple. I told myself, nakakaingit naman sila, may serious lovelife na, ako hanggang pangarap lang.

Afterwards, it was almost time to go home. I bought myself a take-out Caesar salad from KFC (yum, and its diet-friendly too!) and a large iced tea that I wanted to warm up a bit coz it might affect my vocal cords. We went grocery shopping and overall brings me right back here to the computer, blogging...

Hope to hear from you guys, til' next time fellow bloggers!

Still Alive But Sleepy Sir!

2006-09-09T00:40:00.000+09:00

Waa... Its already 11:36pm on my computer's time. Damn it must be late, really late. What can I say, I'm one hell of a mouse potato. La na nga akong magawa eh. I'm just gonna feature my "THE WEEKLY BLOG-STAR" wherein I feature a cool blog in one of my columns for one week. All you need is totally rockin' blog! If you can manage to make comments on both my blog and gain comments on your blog, your pretty much in. I'll be featuring my first choice tomorrow morning, ^_^

Just to let you know, my first BLOG-STAR is a student from the Ateneo, collegiate level who happens to be my cousin as well. Yup, favoritism is in the air, hehe... But seriously, I chose this specific blogger coz she's one totally creative cutie. Stay tuned tomorrow!

Losing Grip...

2006-09-08T20:31:00.000+09:00

I felt so bad these past couple of days, a realization has just struck me... I've lost all my powers. Duh, of course I don't mean super powers, rather my powers as a class leader as I once poccessed last school year. The mere fact that I can't use my power to discipline my other rowdy classmates without being asked "Bakit? Class officer ka ba?" is really starting to piss me off. Eh pano naman kasi, kung last year, VP ako tapos nasasaway ko yung dapat sawayin, ngayon nawala na. Sometimes I even ask myself, "Did the others even take the class officer elections seriously?". I've beened stripped of my power and now I'm experiencing all the consequences and burdens of the other elected officers na wala namang kwenta. I know its kinda harsh to say so, but its true.

How much I wish to remind, or rather shout at my other classmates for the stupid thing they do. Its kinda hard being an ordinary student, especially if your used to being an officer at the same time in total control. I feel as if I have the right ideologies but I don't have the power to speak them out coz I know that nobody will care about what I say anyway.

Another things that get me pissed off is that the usual leaders that managed before become the leaders once again, no matter how ridiculous it seems. I guess every class has a chosen leader, even I have my own, but the mere fact that I lost that kind of role has dropped my ego level by 25%. I guess this is one of the after-effects of mixing the smarts with the jocks, you get total chaos all in all.

How much I wish I can go back to my life a 3rd year student, coz I miss dearly those days where I reigned as a VP with all integrity and fairness. I guess the other leaders in our class either have none of it, or don't even care. Some even let their emotions over rule them or some even which really ticks me off is to let their love life affect them. Idiots, if your gonna let your love life rule over your progress as a leader, better yet quit your god damn position coz your wasting your god damn time. Jeez...

Well at least I'm grateful to breakaway from all that class officer jazz and just let myself be productive in other clubs. Some of the leaders in our school have multiple positions and don't wanna give them up despite that their ruining their members precious time with their other commitments. Whats worse is they use it as an excuse for their busy-ness... -___-;

Haay... I think I'll end here, till next time fellow bloggers...

Sleepy...

2006-09-06T22:32:00.000+09:00

Hi guys, just arrived from SM Marilao, I got my pictures as a conductor developed, its our project in Music. Gaa... I won't make this a long entry, because of the fact that I am so pooped out and my body screams for some rest. Well, lets just keep my entry simple...

First of all... My day started out a bit slow, I was still sleepy, still catchin' up on some of those nights I should be sleeping but instead I use them for school work. Afterwards, the usual stuff went on, old boring subjects as I call them. The only thing unusual today was the fact we started practicing for this singing contest as a class choir, its pretty much a requirement so I don't have much a choice. I'm planning to step up as a leader this time coz I'm not exactly getting the glory I once felt when I was in 3rd year, all the other 'creamy' ones get the glory, and I don't. I think this is the perfect time to show them what I really am, and to never underestimate my skills as a leader. When we had our English period, Maam Abadilla was talking about our project as top present a play. YES! One of the activities I've been waiting for, just in time too... I personally wanted to step up as a leader, but my classmates as usual did what they do best, point fingers. Well, at least I'm glad Iarah (my classmate) knows about my potential in these kinds of things, but all ended up as my classmate Albert becoming a leader. Darn... Nawala yung pagkakataon ko. But I didn't care, all I know is we're not gonna get a high grade coz some of our members don't have the talent sad to say, not that I'm being boastful or anything, but they don't have that motivation factor like I do. I take these things seriously, if this whole thing backfires, then I'm gonna request Maam Abadilla to make another group, for as I heard some are not contented with their groups coz they keep saying, "Naku, yan nanaman tayo. Sure ako na yung mga cream o kaya yung mga leaders nanaman ang kikilos. Sana man lang bigyan tayo nang chance para ipakita kung ano yung kaya namin kahit di kami cream last year." Damn, I felt the agony in those words as one of my classmates uttered those words, but I guess its reality.

Wow, look at my post, and I said it was gonna be short. Oh yeah, heres another thing. Tomorrow is the English pullout's auditions for the upcoming assembly. And Maam Abadilla, thankfully, gave me the chance to be apart of that thing despite that I'm not a pullout student. Meaning I'm gonna be auditioning with those other brainiacs, the advantage that I have together with my partner of course is that we have actually practiced what were gonna be performing tomorrow, and I'm feelin' confident about it. TAKE THAT KNOW-IT-ALL SCUM! Well, not all of them are bad actually, some of those cream section students are worth being loved. Most of them except for this hell of a bitch who is a CAT officer, she's a total bitch, no wonder many are mad at her secretly. Even her friends reject her, there just being plastic to that specific person, akala niya kasi kung sino siyang princesa ng St.Paul, sarap iuntog yung ulo niya sa pader.

I'll end here, WISH ME LUCK FOR TOMORROW!

Fieldwork in the Baseball Diamond...

2006-09-04T19:51:00.000+09:00

Hey guys, my body pain kinda went south now, meaning its slowly fading away... Thank God too, I guess my classmates advise to keep on moving actually worked instead of keeping it at rest, thanks Dexter (or was it Kevin L.?)! Anyways, I kinda had a not-so-bad day at school today, nothing outta the ordinary, although I admit I started my day badly coz my body kept aching, buti na lang nakita ko crush ko, ayun, sumigla na yung araw ko. I spent most of the day chatting with my seatmate, Kevin B. By they way, we played baseball today as our practicum. You can really get some live, reality comedy when watching some Paulinians play, laugh trip talaga.

I kinda ruined my diet today as well, does this line-up makeup a bad diet?:
BREAKFAST: Oreo-Os Cereal (one bowl)
RECESS: two packets of garlic-flavored Nagaraya, half of my Lala chocolate, a hotdog, sopas, and spaghetti
LUNCH: nothing
RECESS: donuts, grape juice, Bacon Tomato & Coleslaw Sandwich from Dunkin Donuts (a taste of heaven on a bun, yum...), and some freshly-brewed hot chocolate to-go
DINNER: sinigang na baboy leftovers + 2/3 cup of rice

Well, I guess I oughta admit I did ruin my diet, again... Hopefully I can shread these extra pounds after a few months or so, its getting kinda frustrating, especially if your getting concious with yourself. Not to mention our upcoming performance, Bop to the Top, Lord help me.
After school, my classmate, Dexter and I, stayed in the lobby thinking that the 'rangers' will be having a hanay, we waited there for approximately 15 minutes, ayun pala, wala. Lesson: Don't believe in gossip, hehe...

Here I am, finishing up on some requirements for CL class, damn, ang dami talagang requirements sa CL, tapos sinasabi pa ng teacher namin na madaling gawin yung requirements niya, agree ako ngunit sandamakal namang requirements and hinihingi niya. If you guys remember the article I put about what you wish to say to yoiur teacher, well, these are the kind of times I wish I could such.

Well, I guess I better end here for now, tatapusin ko pa yung sa CL ko eh, babayoo!

School is Boring

2006-09-03T21:50:00.000+09:00

School, school, and more school... Can it get anymore boring?

I recall this one time during vacation that I wanted to go back to school badly, but that was because of boredom. Now, I wanna go on a vacation!! I have so many projects to accomplish in such a small time expansion, especially now that I'm a Senior. I'd rather be a volunteer at a retirement home then to cope up with boring, old school.

I haven't been able to finish up on some of my project, how could I? I have the will to work but the my body and brain doesn't have the capacity to work, just enough for blogging that is.

Body in a Winter Oblivion

2006-09-03T14:19:00.000+09:00

Waa... My body's pain just got worse. If yesterday, I said that only my legs hurt, now my whole body's aching, must have been from the push-ups and sit-ups. Now with every move I make, a jolt of pain starts to make its way, and its getting on my nerves, I couldn't even sit straight now. Just earlier, I went to church with my dad and sister (my mom's working in the USA right now) to listen to the Sunday mass. I noticed that the homily was the same as last year, even the same story that goes with it, got kinda boring. During the offeratory, I saw Harlene V. Intatano as a sakristan (I don't know the term for a female sakristan), must have been on duty for her parish involvement.

Afterwards, we went to SM Marilao where I got a Haircut, Hot Oil and Facial at GQ Barber Shop, they give the best service especially for the guy that needs a little time for himself. I paid a total of P400.00 all in all, not a bad bargain, it even comes with a free massage in between. But even the massage won't penetrate the physical pain I was feeling, damn ranger training. Afterwards we ate at this Chinese joint called "Chef Wong's" where I ruined my diet by eating Beef in Oyster Sauce w/ Rice, Noodles, and a ball of Buchi. We went straight home right after and here I am now... Blogging...

Breaking Free, Breaking Bones!

2006-09-02T17:13:00.000+09:00

SHIT! What a tough day, who the hell would have the pleasure of having legs and bones that sore to the core, jeez... Well, I just came home from CAT training today and I'm totally pooped out, and its only 4:10pm. You'd probably wonder why my legs sore like hell, I'll take it from the top, which started yesterday.

Yesterday was the so-called ACQUAINTANCE PARTY gone FRIENDSHIP DAY, an occasion for us Paulinian Seniors where we literally buy Freshmen for auction. Mine cost P450, but it was worth it, my neophyte's (term for the freshmen as the seniors are called masters) name is Razel, the Student Year Level Coordinator of her batch. She never gave me a hard time so I guess she was definitely worth it.

During the program, our club, the Communication Arts Society performed a special number for the students as we danced to the tune "Let's Get Loud". Happy to say it was a crowd favorite coz our moderator, Mr. Henry Cordero danced with us. Thats where my legs started aching, kung baga bigay todo ako sa sayaw, yan tuloy...

But I enjoyed it nevertheless. Next was our neophyte's dance number which was "We're All In This Together", another High School Musical Song, what can I say, its my favorite movie. But the performance however ended up as a complete disaster, but I didn't blame my neophyte, kulang kasi kami sa practice eh, higpit kasi ng schedules namin pareho.

Next day, which is today, duh... We had our training, I was at school by 5:15am together with Coleen coz she usually hitches a ride with me, we we're the first ones there, coz normally we start at 7am and the tryouts to become rangers were 6am. At around 6am, we started the tryouts, we went for a 10-round jog which I didn't survive coz I only reached for, the school is so damn wide so who wouldn't get tired?? Afterwards, the commander responsible told us, "Thanks for trying na lang." Nasayang lang yung pagod ko, or so I thought. we we're given a second chance, the condition was to do as many sit-ups and push-ups as possible, both of mine we're above 20.

My legs ached even more, damn these stupid legs. At least I survived the training for the rest of the day. We basically cleaned classrooms, made cheers, did lectures, blah blah blah, the usual stuff. Afterwards was our mini-olympics, for basketball and volleyball, but basketball was first. Just as expected, our platoon lost basketball coz we ain't got that much good players which was kinda disappointing, but I knew the other guys did their best. And thats how my day ended.

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm happy to say that we have a big chance to perform "Bop to the Top" during English month, yehey! Coleen accepted her role as Sharpay to the said musical presentation so watch out for that. All we need is to go under the process of approval, but I know we can make it.

Breaking Feat at Banahaw/SM Mall of Asia

2006-08-30T23:25:00.000+09:00

Wa... After a long day of hiking at the Mt. Banahaw Rockies and shopping at SM Mall of Asia, here I am blogging despite the fact that its already 10:21pm in the evening plus I'm tired and haven't even eaten dinner yet. But what can I say? I LOVE BLOGGING, at mahal ko rin kau, kaya para sa inyo 'to.

I really had a fun day despite that my feet look like they've gone through a washing machine. Our tour guides were very friendly, sina Kuya OJ, Kuya Kyut (yes, as in C-U-T-E), Kuya Elton (at first he said to call him Troy because others told him that he looks like Zac Efron from High School Musical, but my classmate blurted out that he looked like Bearwin Meily, which actually makes sense0, Kuya Jepoy (not Jopay...), and Kuya Harvy (a model for Bench's fashion shows). It was kinda fun coz they were really fun and they kinda descended down to our level of intelligence.

Our field trip began as we waited for the other latecomers as usual, 15 minutes past eh wala pa rin sila, this resulting to a tad bit of a delay. Next, we hiked up the Mount Banahaw Rockies in Dolores, Quezon where we hiked up the rockies, went through some kind of a really narrow cave barefoot, and finally a cold, refreshing bathe at the river, well, actually it wasn't so refreshing afterwards coz we had to climb 270 steps going down to the river and another 270 steps going up, with a total of 540 steps climbed. Sana pumayat ako nito, dami kong exercise eh.

Afterwards, while going to SM Mall of Asia, Sam & I were listening to the High School Musical soundtrack over and over again. While doing that, I made up my mind upon what I should by at the mall, and ended up deciding to buy a hat similar to Lucas Grabeel's on High School Musical, not the formal one though, the kinda director-like one. We had a total of an hour and a half go throughout the mall, which we weren't able to do coz we ended up going in circles in the heart of the mall, which is the airconditioned part where the ice skating rink is.

I kept searching for that specific hat, having no idea where to start looking. After going through a few stores, I found a pure black one at Penshoppe for P200+, did I buy it? Hell ya, I wouldn't let the opportunity pass by so definitely, I bought it. I'll post a picture of myself wearing it in my next entry.

I got home around 10am+ with a few stuff for my dad and sister, just that light thingie that the vendor was selling to us and some pastries of high value for my dad, cream puffs were one among them. Its only once in a while we get to buy stuff of high class, and sad to say the mall near our house doesn't meet those standards.

Well, I'll end here for now, if you need details, comment me! My Haloscan comment box is now available instead of leaving messages in my tagboard. Mucho Gusto, see ya!

Get Your Head in the Trip

2006-08-29T20:45:00.000+09:00

Hey guys, its me again, blogging again... -_-; Yup...

Damn, can my schedule get anymore hectic!? Well, at least a bit of weight has been lifted off my shoulders for the play I made has been delayed, i'm having 50-50 emotions with that, both happy and sad. Coz I was so damn looking forward to playing Ryan! Its only a few times I get to play a villain in the story and at the same time do some kind of broadway thing, ya know, me and Coleen doing "Bop to the Top".

But this time the weight has been taken off in exchange for something heavier, the Acquaintance party. I have two roles for that specific occasion, both a master and dancer. What the hell am I supposed to do!? I can't just let my neophyte down, can I? Thats why I'm makin' a sacrifice on Thursday to go to school despite that the Seniors don't have classes just to teach my neophyte dancing group the steps for "We're All In This Together". Yes, I know its another High School Musical song, I can't deny the fact that I'm addicted to it, if you got a problem with that, sue me, if you have the money that is.

Anyways, besides teaching the steps to my neophyte, I also have my extra-curricular club to attend to, the Communication Arts Society where we'll be performing "Let's Get Loud". And not that I'm bragging, but our club's performance is probably one of the most awaited performances in our school coz' I'm pretty sure some of the students are gonna laugh at us until they get a heart attack, but I don't give a damn. I'm just taking it as an opportunity to get known and at the same time develop more self-confidence, which I wish to improve despite the fact that I already have the above average confidence. And if your wondering what I mean by 'I wish to get known', I literally mean it, I want the student body to see me as a competent leader, eh pano naman kasi, yung mga cream dati halos ang mga leader ng school, gusto kong patunayan na kahit di ako cream, I am competent in my own right as a student-leader.

Oh yeah, our field trip is tomorrow morning, we're gonna go hiking at Mt.Banahaw which I'm not looking forward to by the way and after a long friggin' day of hiking, we're gonna be wanderin' the floors of SM Mall of Asia, hell ya. But the turn down is that we got 1 hour to go around the mall, now thats just plain mean, meaning once again, TIME IS NOT THE LUXURY WE HAVE, EVEN THOUGH OUR WALLETS ARE FULL OF MONEY FOR LUXURY. Admit it or not, some of us just love having cold, hard cash in our wallets, just waiting to be spent. Well, my main objective at SM Mall of Asia is to buy a hat similar to Ryan's. (di ko rin naman siya ina-idolize noh?)

Well, I'll end here for now, I'll tell you how the field trip will come out next Thursday, coz I'm gonna be arriving at home tomorrow at around 9pm so I might not have the energy to blog, but I'll try. See ya tomorrow fellow bloggers! ^_^

Theo is a Ryan

2006-08-28T21:15:00.000+09:00

Hey guys... Jeez, have I been busy all day. I can't even believe that I'm still standing up to this very moment. I've been particularly busy with this play I'm conducting which has been approved by the way. I finally got my cast of actors and actresses going on and have I got a good line up. But personally focusing on my role, I've created a character in the play, his name is Ryan Gabreel, basically inspired from the character Ryan Evans (played by Lucas Grabeel) from High School Musical. I would have to say that if I we're to choose a character that would represent me, it would be Ryan. I don't know why, but I really like the way he dances, and that is why we're performing Bop to the Top either this week of next week hopefully, I'll be dancin' with Coleen Inigo who plays the "Sharpay" kind of role in the play. And to think that I might have had a hard time finding some talents, especially for my lead role in the play, Charles "Chazz" Princeton and his best friend Markus Samson. It was easy to find the other talents, coz basically I've planned on asking them, one of them which fits perfectly into the role is Mayel Bautista who will be playing Charmele Fernando, the leading lady of the play. My role together with Coleen's is definitely on the more villainous part, kinda like people blinded by the lights of popularity. I've always dreamed of attaining popularity, and basically this is my chance to 'act' as one. Just taking advantage of the moment while I still can, hehe...

Well, I'll end here, I promised Mayel to make her a down-to-earth blog, so expect to see her on my list of cool blogs, cool kasi yung gumagawa ng posts eh! See ya!

(basically, I'm a Ryan Evans in my own right...)

Mars is Passing By...

2006-08-27T22:31:00.000+09:00

TO THE LUCKY ONES TO READ THIS ARTICLE THIS LATE...

August 27, 2006 is the day Mars gets closest to the Earth and is as visible as a full moon. Those enough lucky to be passing by my blog at such a late hour (I'm typing this at about 9:40pm sharp) should stay up until 12:30am coz thats the time Mars will be close to the Earth. Hope its not a cloudy night from where you stand, enjoy this for the next time this will happen, no one living at this moment will never be able to see it again for if I'm not mistaken, the next phenomenon for this is in the year 2267, think you'll be alive till then to witness it again? I didn't think so... Happy Planet Viewing to Ya! ^_^

High School Highlights

2006-08-27T18:31:00.000+09:00

High School Highlights:

For those of you who remember some of the articles I wrote in my ex-blog (http://theorodriguez.blosgpot.com), I always included something about me not wanting to become a Senior. Well, that was before, but now, I totally love being a Senior! All the oppotunities I got, you can't imagine how happy I am. But of course, behind all those glints and the glamour lies the shittyness of being a Senior, let me make a slight summary of whats happened to me for the past three months...

Well, one of the my usual responsibilities which I love is my role as a Treasurer, well, not anymore actually, I've been promoted to become the Vice President of the Communication Arts Society. Ya, if you think I'm bragging, yes, you guessed right, I am, if you got a problem with that, the psycho ward if open 24/7, be my guest. I'm pretty much dedicated to my club, its a great club coz personally I think were bonded, and each triumph we have, we share together as a club, of course, us being a club, is being led by our club moderator Mr. Henry Cordero. Look out for our Sophomore performance at the Acquaintance Party as we dance to the tune, "Let's Get Loud' together with our club moderator. Of course, our debut performance was "Pinoy Ako" during the "Buwan ng Wika" opening, that was just for kicks, our next performance will showcase what our club is really about. Hopefully our third performance will be "Bop to the Top" where we'll be doing some kind of singing-dancing performance, think broadway, but actually there'll only be six performers, only one male and one female singing if we can get our hands on the headset mic, I'll be one of them.

Another if you recall from my old blog is the fact that we have CAT that I don't want to become a Senior, well, I'm lovin' it! I'm plannin' to become a ranger, if ever I can cope up with becoming one. I just love marching during the trainings, however i really hate the mandatory exercise coz it already drains out our energy which really bugs me especially if a lecture follows. Eh pano naman kasi, ang pangit ng feeling na pinagpawisan ka tapos maglelecture kayo afterwards, syet. But its fun anyways...

Just recently, we became a finalist in the Speech Choir in Tagalog during the "Buwan ng Wika", we topped 2nd place during the eliminations but landed 4th in the finals. Although I rejoice the fact that we made it to the finals, I loathe the fact that we didn't land a place in the Top Three. Although I admit that our practices for the speech choir were totally out of control, with all the rants and raves from the leaders together with the uncooperative dweebs that wouldn't follow, you'd think you were in chaos. Come to think of it, if you total up all the time we wasted due to the leaders' blah-blah-blahs and last minute planning, I'd say we've wasted about 2 hours of our time, or probably even more if you include the times my fellow classmates would mope around. And the fact that we had what it takes to make it to the top three and instead ended up in flames definitely disgusted me, although I'm happy we made it to the finals at the same time to the leaders say that at least we made it to the finals made me want to say, "Please, thats one of the oldest excuses ever made up for a person not to feel sad, which apparently isn't effective, unless kung mababaw ang kaligayahan mo, eh di dun ka na sa mental, e-embrace ka nila with open arms, asahan mo. Either way we can't reverse what happened in the past and might as well move on to the present.

Another shitty fact about becoming a Senior is the things the teachers cram into our minds, kaya nga ako tawa ng tawa sa tinext sa 'kin ni Bryan Viste, eto, tinype ko for the sake ng mga iba dyan.

MGA BAGAY NA WISH MO NA PWEDENG SABIHIN SA TEACHER...

*Late ka nanaman, absent ka for 2 days. No work, no pay.
*Maam, tulog na lang tayo para di masayang yung araw ko.
*Kaw nga, kabisaduhin mo lahat 'to overnight, kayanin mo kaya?
*'Wag ka nga maingay! Di ko maintindihan yung sinasabi ng katabi ko eh.
*Kasama pa ba sa lesson yung love life mo?/ Kasama pa ba sa lesson yung sinasabi mo?
*Wala akong naintindihan sa tinuturo mo.. Stop it...
*Maam, paulit-ulit ka, para kang sirang plaka.

Ain't all of it true, that sometimes we could say all of this stuff to our teachers but we can't open our traps coz it leads us to a one way trip to the demon's lair? Admit, you dream of saying these words, better yet, you WANT to say these words, well hold back my friends, the time will come...

Ya know, I really feel sorry for our adviser's daughter, but it feels so heartwarming na makita ang adviser namin as a loving father to his daughter, now thats family love. I just wish when the day comes that similar happens to me when I get confined, my parents would do the same for me. Mabait yung adviser namin, isipin mo, kahit ganun yung sitwasyon, pumunta siya sa school kahit sandali para lang i-check kami at tulungan ng konti sa sabayang pagbigkas namin? San ka nakakakita ng ganyang kagaling na adviser, hanga ako sa adviser ko, he has a good heart.

Well, maybe I'll end my entry here. Stay tuned for more of my highlights from the person who really hated to become a Senior but learned to love it. COMPLY FIRST BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN kung baga. Till next time fellow bloggers! ^_^

Virus In My Body

2006-08-27T16:25:00.000+09:00

Jeez, can a computer get anymore dumber than this? I've been spending almost 3 hours of my time to restore my computer to full health from a virus, well, their has been some progress in the system, but theirs still a few bugs and glitches in it, which getting pretty irritating by the way. Besides, I'm still getting used to a new things on my computer, pesky Norton Antivirus Updates, a new keyboard which needs finger force while typing, a new headset which is actually kind of good for my music trips, and finally a mouse that has high sensitivity.

And on top of that, just when I need my printer most, it runs out of ink! How the friggin' hell am I supposed to finish so many projects in just a minimum time expansion!? And now I can't even print my projects, Lord save me.

By the way, I'm getting pretty tense right now about my grades this 1st Quarter, I think I won't be getting much of a high grade this quarter. I've been under a lot of pressure lately with projects, curriculars, family affairs, blah blah blah, which results to me to lose track in my lessons and things to do. And up to now, I still haven't finished what I need to do!

Maam Abadilla, my Teatro club moderator, asked me to write a script for the end of our Filipino month which I think will be performed by this week. The problem being is that their isn't any cast yet and "time is not the luxury we don't have" (our class president, Patty, taught me that, hehe...), I wonder if we're gonna be able to pull this off, I'm thinking positive because I've been doing some advance talent searching for the lead roles, and I've already got some candidates, some already approving for the roles. One of them is my dear friend, Thelma Marie Coleen Inigo who will be playing Charmele Fernando, a college student taking up Education who will help the leading man, Chazz Princeton, to learn to speak Tagalog before a singing contest which requires singing a Tagalog song. Although, I edited the script for the singing contest part coz Maam Abadilla ask me to make the script longer, I'm pretty much working on it right now. Its gonna be great. For the leading role as Chazz Princeton, which requires a person who can speak fluent American English at the same time good Tagalog, I've been thinking of asking a 2nd year student I have in mind to do it. But if he rejects, I'll be forced to play the part myself, after all, the character does have a little bit of me in it.

Darn! I'm getting more addicted to about three songs from the High School Musical Soundtrack, specifically "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You", "Bop to the Top", "What I've Been Looking For", and "Breaking Free". I'm planning to change my blog's background music from "Breakaway" to "Breaking Free", so expect a change in my blog's background music next time, okay? Damn, Ashley Tisdale is soooo hot!

Hey guys, well its my first post. Let me start off with a little thing called "High School Musical", well, I guess you couldn't consider it as "little" anymore coz its already began taking the world by storm already. I watched it myself and its pretty neat, especially with Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Gabreel as Sharpey and Ryan. Even the tracks on the movie itself were interesting, I especially liked "Bop to the Top" with Sharpey and Ryan performing, their most probably my fav. characters in the movie, it was totally awesome.

(in the photo is Ryan and Sharpey or as their real names are Lucas Gabreel & Ashley Tisdale)

By the way, for all those High School Musical fans out their who are reading this article, expect a sequel to come with all the characters returning. But sad to say, sources say that the date of showing is in late 2007 so were gonna have to wait a bit longer. The soundtrack is out available in your favorite music outlets here in the Philippines for P350 to get a 2-Disc Special with karaoke sing-alongs and minus ones. Maybe I should request me and a few friends to perform one of the songs. By the way, to my fellow Paulinians, watch out for a performance by me and *toot* (you'll find out soon) as we sing Bop to the Top if ever our performance will be approved for the upcoming English month.

Well, thats it for me about High School Musical, if you want more info about it, use a search engine! Or you can click on my affiliated links with Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Gabreel on my links thing, see ya!
