and once again, i enter the so-so stage in blogging....

I'm on a hiatus. (yes patty, pati sa blogger). I'm trying to imrpove the site - changing the layout, trying to find a way how to personalize the colors of my CBOX, having a new image, YOU KNOW THE DRILL. And possibly, I might move into another site.

But this thing is beginning to tire me out. Not the blogging thing, the new image thingy. SERIOUSLY, can anyone HELP ME TO MAKE A LAYOUT?? please.

The Power Of Scents

Isn't it astonishing that one certain smell, whether appalling or not can instantly and magically allow you to remember once certain significant thing?

Say for example, the smell of white clean sheets reminds me of my mother. I don't know why it does, but the smell of it makes me feel warm, safe and comfortable, like somebody’s hugging me. Another one, the smell of one certain perfume reminds me of my freaking neighbor who… uhmm never mind.

So what's the point? Because a few days ago, I smelled the smell of chicken crap and Mansanitas trees which reminds me of my childhood days. I miss my childhood days. I REALLY DO. I miss having a carefree life. I remembered those times where the biggest problem for me is how to escape the yaya who is constantly forcing me and my brother for siesta because I want to play outside with my neighbors.

Ahh… those were the days. The lutu-lutuan, the Bahay-bahayan, the taguan and the step-in, step-out game. Haha. I was always the “mama” or the “anak” when we used to play those games. I never forgot how we used to get leaves from plants and pretend that they were the food for dinner or for merienda. I remember the days when I used to run as fast as I could towards nowhere with only one thing in my mind: FUN. But now, running is no more fun for me, I no longer like running like I used to. Most of time when I run at my present time is when I try to escape from different dilemmas creeping inside my mind. Although I still run towards nowhere, the fun that used to be there slowly dies away.

NOSTALGIA BEYBE. How can I ever escape?

MUSIC TRIPPING all the way X D

Yes. Isang malaking YES.

Sapagkat ang hinahanap kong mga kanta na matagal ko nang hinahalughog (o maelounga! ginamit ko na yung term mo!) sa buong Davao City ay nakita ko na!

Maraming zalamats kay Bien Collado at nagtiyaga siyang idownload ang mahigit kumulang na tatlong-daan awitin para sa akin.

At ngayon, ako'y masayang nagsa-sound tripping sa mga kanta ng mga bandang:

Black Eyed Peas
Bloc Party
Dead Kennedys
Lagwagon
Led Zeppelin
Mc Lars
Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
Oasis
Operation Ivy
Reel Big Fish
Toy Dolls
Rancid
System Of A Down
The Ramones
N.E.R.D.
Less Than Jake
Death Cab For Cutie
at MXPX

and again:

Yes. Isang malaking YES.
Mabuhay ang SKA, PUNK ROCK, OLD SKOOL, NEW SKOOL, UK ROCK. (At kahit hindi ko namention sa post na ito, mas magaling parin at walang kasing ganda ang : ) OPM. ORIGINAL PINOY MUSIC.

CHEERS,

GSP + PARADISE OUTING (VAL'S BIRTHDAY) = one summer LOVING


It's such a great feeling to get out of the house for 4 days and chill and have fun at the same time. Yes, part of it was work and labor (due to the camping) but 80 percent of it was pure solid, HARD CORE fun. Maaaaaaaan, I'm loving this summer. Seriously. This has got to be one of the most enjoyable summers in my whole life. So, come with me and let's take a trip to nostalgia land and reminisce once more my 4 day vacation…

Reminiscing...
Starts...
Now...

DAY 1

GSP camping. It was held inside the campus. We had to set the tents and all sorts of preparations. We placed some decorations and all sorts of ek-ek and pakeme-keme in our camp. We also went to the camping in troops. We called our troop "MONKEY BUSINESS". Nyahaha! Man, too cliché, too cliché – But cute enough. The members of the troop were Milay, Valerie, Remy, Bien, Daphne Belisario, Krysta, and Allyn. Our troop was the noisiest and the naughtiest.

Later that afternoon, we were forced by our TITAS (which we exaggerately call teeeeyytaa) to sing petty, cheesy, corny (and all the adjectives that you can relate to the stated adjectives) GSP songs. All the volleyball players who were attending the training inside the campus started to mock us. Oh-yeah. I know that. My spider sense was telling me so. Sino naman kase ang hindi manginginig sa mga kanta namin, kung ang kinankanta nyo ay parang ganito:

Where are the _______(insert troop name here. for instance - MONKEYS)? (2x)
Here we are! (2x)
How are you this afternoon?
Very well and thank you (2x)
Then you smile (2x)


Nakow!!! Ginawa kaming preschool na autistic ng teacher na eto! Naman! Dapat nga may matching na actions and interpretation pa ang kantang ito. At suot pa naming ang Uniform ng GSP. Yehey! Ang saya. Its not that I’m mocking the GSP but I’m disturbed because ginawa kaming katawa-tawa doon. Pero hindi rin nagtagal ang paghihirap. Natapos rin ang unos. Dumating na ang gabi. Umulan ng pagkalakas-lakas. First time kong nagcamping na umulan. Pero masaya rin yun kase we wont be sleeping inside the tent like pigs. Actually, we didn't sleep. We just had our sessions. Tsk tsk tsk....SESSIONS DAW.

DAY 2

Camping parin. Malaki ang mga eye bags. Wala kaming tulog pwera lamang kay Milay na sarap na sarap sa tulog nya. For breakfast, we had to look for our own food in a form of scavenging hunt. We cooked our own food, started our own fire, we learned how to make knots and we had gadget building. We made our own table, a dancing table. Thank God no more GSP songs.

Night came, It was campfire time! When we were about to start the campfire, umeksena ang ulan. Pero tuloy pa rin ang ligaya. Masaya ang campfire kase nakakaaliw ang mga munting presentations na ginawa ng bawat troop. Pagkatapos ay tulog na. Bumawi na ang mga katawan naming sa pagod at kulang sa tulog.

DAY 3

Last and final day for camping. Yeba! Excited na ako for PARADISE ISLAND. We should be attending the Palm Sunday mass but sad to say, we didn't because we lacked the time for the mass. Val's mom and dad came and took us out of the camping and we were of to Paradise Island.

We met with the rest of the gang at MCDO MAIN. Everyone was already excited. Yes, beach – HERE WE COME. The whole barkada was present except for Zillah, Carizza and Louie. We rode on Val’s auto and the next thing we knew, we were already on the barge.

Upon arriving, we ate lunch and some of us played TONGITS. Yeah. Larong pang sugarol. Lakad dito lakad doon. Nagpakasenti muna kami bago naligo sa dagat. Pero talagang nde ko na matiis, naglalaway na talaga kase ako sa dagat. Kaya inunahan ko na sila. Naligo na talaga ako.

Night time, we ate dinner and nakinig sa babaeng kumakanta na may dalawang guitarista. Hindi ko alam angong tawag sa kanila basta iniisa-isa nila ang mga tables ng costumer at kinakantahan nila sila. Si Kristine nga pala kumanta rin ng Pangako Sa'yo by request ng Daddy ni Val. Bumirit naman ang Gaga. Hehe.

Pagkatapos kumain ay pumunta kami sa shore at nag sand castle building. Pero once again, naglaway na naman ako sa dagat kaya kinontsyaba ko si Stuart para mag night swimming. Kumagat na man siya. Hanggang sumunod sina Wizo at Francis sa aming maligo sa dagat kase hindi rin nila matiis. AT, sumunod naman sina Ava at Bea kase hindi rin nila nakaya ang inggit na naramdaman. Kaya ayun, nagpakasaap kami sa dagat.


Hinintay naming ang 12 midnight para salubungin ang birthday ni Val.

Happy Birthday Val!




DAY 4


Nagising ako ng 8:00 am at kumain ng breakfast kasama ang barkada. Pagkatapos ay naligo na naman sa dagat. Umalis kami ng Paradise Island mga 12:00 noon. Goodbye beach!!!

Pagdating sa Davao...

Kumain ng lunch sa McDO sa mall. Pagkatapos ay lakad-lakad konti at hanggang naubusan na kami ng lakas. UMUWI na kaming lahat.

WRAPPING UP

Isa lang ang masasabi ko. BITIN! Napakabitin ng vacation namin. Kaya we planned to have a Part Two, Yang kompleto na ang buong barkada. So what have I learned? Always cherish every moment with the people close to your heart. Mahal na mahal ko ang barkada ko. Sobra, Bata pa naman kami eh, marami pang magyayari sa buhay namin. Pero ito lang ang masasabi ko: Matapos man ang highschool at magkakahiwa-hiwalay na tayong lahat, hinding- hindi ko kayo malilimutan.

crusaders GRADUTAION

Due to my hideous conduct during the training, I had the utmost expectation that I would fail the training. Ask all of my classmates during the training if there was a minute that I wasn't silent all throughout the program. And there was this unbearable moment that I shouted -- erm, screamed because some of my classmates and some staff members scared me off with a baby doll which was never attractive or CUTE for me. I hate dolls. I’m scared of dolls (especially porcelains ones, and include clowns and mascots on the list).It pisses me off. They actually have a name for this petty doll, and she was called TINA. And because of my amazonic voice, I brought trouble to myself and some of my companions. But technically, it wasn't my fault. It was the fault of the people who tried to scare me, and who eventually, became successful. Oh phooey.



Hence I had a slight fear that I may not be able to graduate and I would come home and tell mama that I have wasted her 300 pesos. I waited in anticipation for (miraculously) all of us passed. Hoorah! Hoorah!! Hoorah!!!

Welcome graduation!



Our graduation started at almost 3:00 because of a lot of delays. I was beginning to grow roots and leaves already. I was already restless .I tried my best to keep my cool by sitting in the most
relaxing way that I could think of, and that is to place both of my feet on the chair itself. Parang nasa bahay lang na position. Feel at home, kungbaga. At last, the program started (finally). They gave out the certificates in alphabetical order. When the names starting with K and L were called, a classmate of mine called said to me: "Mar, ikaw na next". But to my surprise, they skipped my name and proceeded with the letter N. Letche. What did I do know?And so, N, O, P,S, T , Z passed. My name was still not called. After the last girl was called, who was ZEHENDER, Montajes was called. Oh yeah, oh yeah. I thought I wasn't going to get a certificate. Upon receiving the certificate, the one that handed it to me said, with her eyes shooting at me (take note, I was all smiles while receiving it) "Next time, matuto kang umupo ng maayos hah." Oh, boo-hoo. I did not respond but I just snatched the certificate and sat on the chair. Crap. Way to go. Groan.



But I am happy to tell you that the graduation wasn't really that bad. In fact it was very memorable and was full of fun! Tawa lng ng tawa, Tukso ng tukso. I was amazed that everyone was not hesitant to join every contest prepared by some of the students. We played the talong game, to start with. Classic talaga ang larong ito. It never fails. May award pa nga kaming BEST TALONG SWINGER. And guess sino ang nanalo? JOHANNA ZEHENDER.

[L-R] (1)best talong swinger: johanna zehender,(2) buhay na ang kapatid ni chaka doll, si TINA, na
tinubuuan ng talong sa maselang bahagi ng kanyang katawan (nah, nilagay lang ni stuart ang talong)


We also played the SOUND RELAY, PALAKASAN NG BOSES, the PINOY HENYO (similar to the one in Eat Bulaga) and lastly, the MODELLING.

RESPONDER.

summer lovin, sun and burn

Summer is in the heavens! Ahhh… summer, my second life. A time of change, a time of discovery, a time of fun and time for hitting the beach! God, I can't wait to go to the beach.. and oh by the way, I'm so sorry if I wasn't able to update on an ungodly hour. Even if I'm thru with school, I’m still busy busy busy. I've been attending the first responder training. First responder by the way is an person who has been trained to render first aid to a patient. In our school, we call it as the crusaders. It may be tiring but is has great learning experience (seriously). Finally, were going to have our graduation for the first responder training today and I really can't wait to see if I passed.

Soooo….. I have a new hairstyle by the way. Nyahahaha! X D

And, I'm loving UP DHARMA DOWN!!

** UdD is:

Armi Millare [keyboards, vocals, rhythm guitars]

Carlos Tanada [lead guitars]
Ean Mayor [drums, human turntables]
Paul Yap [bass]

The band got their very unique name DHARMA, which means laws of life. Listen to them and you'll find out how great Rock, Neo-soul, Acid Jazz and Electronic music is if combined. I love their "genre-less" music, their catchy tunes and much much much mucho more. Too bad, their album, FRAGMENTED isn’t available (I think) here in Davao. I've searched every single music store on the city, yet I cannot find one. Tsk tsk.
Nevertheless, I still advice you, dear reader, dear music lover and kapwa-noypi to take a plunge and listen to their music. (UdD’s songs are always played on NU107). I am at present hooked with OO, their 3RD single released. So check it awt!!!!



Up dharma Down - OO
Di mo lang alam
Naiisip kita
Baka sakali lang maisip mo ako
Di mo lang alam
Hanggang sa gabi
Inaasam na Makita kang muli

Natapos ang lahat sa di inaasahang panahon
At ngayon ako'y iyong iniwang
Luhaan, sugatan, di mapakinabangan
Sana nagtanong ka lang
Kung…
Sana'y nagtanong ka lang
Di mo lang alam

Ako'y iyong nasaktan
Baka sakali lang
Maisip mo naman
Hindi mo lang alam
Kay tagal na panahon
Ako'y nandirito parin
Hanggang ngayon para sayo

Lumipas mga araw
Na ubod ng saya
Di parin nagbabago ang aking pagsinta
Kung ako'y nagkasala patawad n asana
Ang puso kong matagal nang nagmahal

Di mo lang alam
Ako'y iyong nasaktan
nagbabasakali lang
Maisip mo naman
Sana lang
Sana ako naman
Di mo lang alam
Ika'y minamasdan
Sana'y iyong mamalayan
Hindi mo lang pala alam
Hindi mo lang alam

Kahit tayo'y magkaibigan lang
Bumabalik ang lahat twing nagkukulitan
Baka lang maisip mo naman
Ako'y nandito lang hindi mo lang alam
Matalino ka naman
Kung ikaw at ako
Ay tunay na bigo
Sa laro na ito ay dapat bang sumuko?
Sana'y di ka na lang pala
Aking nakilala
Kung alam ko lang
Ako'y masasaktan ng ganito
Sana'y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko
Di mo lang alam
Ako'y iyong nasaktan
Nagbabasakali lang maisip mo naman
Oh.. sana lang
Sana ako naman
Di mo lang alam ika'y minamasdan
Sana'y iyong mamalayan
Hindi mo lang pala alam
Oh..
Malas mo
Ikaw ang natipuhan ko
Di mo lang alam
Ako'y iyong nasaktan
mucho mucho love,
