correction to my latest post…

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

i’ve changed my mind…

if you have read my entry entitled ‘i wanna marry a rockstar’, it says there that bamboo (the vocalist) is on top of my priority list of who i want to marry.

well, i’ve changed my mind…

it’s chito of parokya once again. he has always been my number one ‘rockstar’ (though he’s not really a rockstar) and always will be.

note: these posts were created because of the author’s obssessive infatuation over parokya ni edgar… and of course, she’s still not over the up fair…

my birthday wishlist

Friday, February 17th, 2006

we were talking about blogging in our comm191 class. and what i really remembered was that there was one blogger who posted his/her wishlist online. what he/she doesnt know was that his/her relatives from the states read his/her blog and they gave her almost all of the things that was written on her wishlist. they made her wishes come true.
now, i am taking a shot at this. haha. as if there are people reading my blog. but, what if there are people reading my blog? well, it won’t hurt me if i write my wishlist right? RIGHT! who knows, i might get lucky…

1. A BIRTHDAY CAKE.
    for four years now, i havent receive any cake for my birthday. the main reason is that for the         past four years, i have been celebrating my birthday away from home. nobody ever gave me a         birthday cake or tried to give me one (i am not bitter. im cool with it. honest.). this year, my         wish is that somebody would give me a birthday cake (even a cupcake with candles on top is             perfect) because this is my last birthday in college.

2. AN MP3 PLAYER.
    i have already asked my dad for this and but it is still in process.hehe

3. CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA’S NEW ALBUM
    i bought his first album myself, i think asking for his new album isnt too much.hehe
Already bought one for meself, now, i’m plain broke… :P

4. TO BE WITH MY FAMILY
    i missed celebrating my birthday with my family. i just, plain, missed them. period.

5. TO GRADUATE ON TIME
    yeah, just like all senior/graduating students, we all  want to graduate  on time.

6. GOD’S BLESSINGS AND GUIDANCE.
     in all of my endeavors. especially after college.

7. TO LOOSE WEIGHT.
    enough said.

8. A BOYFRIEND. 
    hahaha. im turning 20 and graduating from college, but still, im an SSB! hahaha. anyway, true         love waits (erk) and im staying in my castle. *wink

9. WORLD PEACE.    
    who doesnt? but those who know the Bible knew better than to ask for world peace…

these and more when i update my blog…

hmm.. hindi ko na yata makukuha itong hindi nakabura… o well, that’s life… =)

i wanna marry a rockstar.

Friday, February 17th, 2006

while watching the bamboo perform last thursday night at the UP fair, i’ve decided, right then and there, that i wanna marry a rockstar. a rockstar like bamboo.
but wait, let me change that. not a rockstar, but a musician. a musician will do. but bamboo (the vocalist) is on the top of my list.

    at first it was an architect. yes, i am quite attracted to architects. well, actually, it’s just a coincidence that most of my crushes are majoring in architecture (or was once taking up architecture but shifted out.hehe). but i like the idea that one day, that architect husband of mine will build and design our house, and that’ll be one of the best things that i willl ever receive from him. and then we will build our future together (haha!).
    take for example ian (well, if you know me that much, you’ll know who i am refering to). anyway, i bought this magazine yesterday because i saw his picture on the cover with a caption ‘christian and his country estate’. when i get to read the article and see the pictures, i was amazed. it was as if they hired an interior decorator to decorate his house, rather, ‘country estate’. his/their place is soO b-e-a-utiful. and for sure, ian’s expertise in landscape architecture was not amiss in that grand place. it’s not that big, i think, but it’s one of the best houses that i have ever seen. and if fate will decide, someday i’ll have a house just like that one.
    so, anyway, back to liking architects… i still like a few of them. but now, my priorities have changed…

    …because, i have decided that i wanna marry a rockstar/musician.

while bamboo was performing, it was as if he owned the stage, or even the whole place. he has his own world, minding his own business. for me, there was no attempt on bamboo’s side to catch the crowd’s attention, but he has the audience in the palm of his hand. he dominated. ruled. but despite that, he snatched my heart, without him knowing it. sigh! it’s my second time to see him perform and that made him more appealling to me, it’s as if we’re already that close. haha. yeah right. no. i know what i am saying here is too much but i can’t help it. i can’t help but notice his sexy moves, nice butt, and his mere presence just speaks of dominating male prowess. and another sigh!

and that was when i decided that i wanna marry HIM! ok, ok. a rockstar/musician will do. and here’s my list of priorities…
    1. bamboo. ‘nuf said

    2. chito of PnE. yeah, i admit, he’s not THAT good looking compared to Bamboo, but he’s cute in his own twisted way. and i think he’s funny and smart and naughty and… and i just love their songs, so it’s like a 100+ pogi points for him already. at first, chito was supposed to be on the top of my list, but when i saw bamboo the other night (note: i havent seen chito or PnE perform before, even though i went to a few of their concerts, imagine that!), bamboo pushed chito away from the top.
    3. champ of hale. one look at him and you’ll know why. his singing abilities is an added bonus to the whole package.
    4. ira cruz of bamboo. cute, nice, cool, has an air of quiet class. just like bamboo.
    5. vocalist of 6CM. he’s cute. and when i say cute, i mean small and nice looks.
    6. …..
    7. …

    ooops, i think my knowledge on pinoy alternative bands are so limited. i can name foreign bands that i wanna be with in the future (rob thomas, alex band, mark mcgrath) but i think they’re impossible to reach, so i’ll just stick to the one closer to home.

    so, anyway, rockstars/musicians are so cool. there are people who look up to them. they have their fans. they have followers. and even when they are already popular, they can still live a life of a normal filipino citizen, no pretenses whatsoever (at least that’s what i think, i dunno if it’s for real). So many girls and gays swoon over them. they love what they are doing, it is their passion. they can express themselves in an artistic way. they don’t worry over money (oh, really now?). and the list goes on… and that what makes them sooo cool. and that is why i wanna marry a rockstar.

    but, it’s still good to be with a different kind of artist (you know, i really love artists because i don’t have an artistic vein in me). an ‘architect kind of artist’ (i think you know where this is leading). but i think it’s better if i am going to be with an ‘architect kind of artist’ and a rockstar, both in one person. but that would be too much. and artichect and rockstar in one? possible. but i don’t know any rockstar who is also an architect. or an architect who is a rockstar at the same time. but i know an ‘architect’ and a musician-cum-singer… and i wanna marry him, even if he still doesnt know me. and now, i realize, that that is what i really want. but bamboo and the people in my list are still welcome. haha. (please wake me up from this deep slumber. it’s already 3am. this might be the reason why i am saying these things. SOMEBODY WAKE ME!!!)

  wait. i’m not yet done. i changed my mind. a selected rockstar or a musician or an architect will do.

   this pinoy alternative bands fever of mine started when i went to destino four and saw 6CM, Pupil and Imago perform up close, as in like three to five meters away!!! woohoo!!!and with the fair fever, the heat just keeps on going up!
   

A VALENTINE TRIBUTE

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Tomorrow is valentine’s day. The day of hearts. The day of love. The day of sweet kisses and warm embrace. The day when two lovers go out and celebrate their love.
But is this day really just for the two people in love? Do singles out there do not have the right to celebrate this day? Does it mean that if you don’t have a partner to celebrate it with, you are not loved and in love?
I dunno. My answer to these questions may be biased, because I am single. For the past nineteen years, I have been celebrating valentines day "alone". Though I don’t really celebrate valentine’s day. I just went along with it, along with everybody else. Again, I spend every valentine’s day of my life "alone".
But do you really need to have a "lover" in order to be happy on the day of love? Maybe. That is what the world is demanding of everyone. "SPEND IT WITH YOUR PARTNER". "YOU’LL BE MISERABLE WHEN YOU SPEND THIS DAY ALONE". "YOU’RE AN OUTCAST".
Yeah, right!
Honestly, I never did feel any of these things when valentine’s day comes. I never was pressured to look for somebody to spend this day with. I was never miserable on a valentine’s day. And, um, I don’t feel an outcast. I admit that there’s a tiny pinch of jealousy seeing all the lovers out there, holding hands, cuddling, smacking. But hey, it’s my human nature responding to… instinct? animal instinct? haha. I dunno what to call it. A small part of me is wondering why they all have thier partners why i remain… single. But, take note, the operational words here are tiny and small.
Thinking back, I would not say that I have been spending valentine’s day alone. In fact, I have been with the people most important to me. My family and close friends. You may think that I am saying this because I don’t have a partner to celebrate it with. Maybe one day, I would. Maybe one day, we would be sharing an embrace on this "special day for lovers". But right now, and for the past nineteen years of my life, my valentine’s day is special because I am with the people that I love the most. And that has always been enough. My heart is contented with it. And when that day comes when I will celebrate it with my lover (I don’t really like the word, but I can’t think of any suitable word), that valentine’s day would just be the same as any valentine’s day, I am spending it with someone special, someone close to my heart. And that would be enough for me.

This is not written out of bitternes because I am still single. I am not justifying my celebrating this day "alone". The words just kept coming…
