Finally Un-Lazy XD

Oh God . It`s been an effin long time since I last updated this blog . I guess I`ve been too busy. .too busy being lazy . w00t w00t XD

Anyway....updates . Weh . They are not arranged in any particular order though .

Let`s Talk Business......&& Math .
Have you seen the symbol for justice ? The woman with the balancing scales .. Yeah , her . Well , that`s the image that formed in my head when I decided [ for the nth time ] what would be the course that I would take up .

At the start of the school year , I`ve decided that Accountancy would be the course . But at the end of the school year , Computer Science was what I wanted to take up . My mom advised me to get the prospectus for both of those courses .

When I looked at the prospectus of Com. Sci., I was shocked. There`s calculus every year ! @_@ Whereas in Accountancy , only one or two years have calculus in it . What a relief .

I finally finished enrolling for Accountancy last Friday, April 11, 2oo8 . I didn`t know enrolling in Ateneo de Davao College would be so friggin tiring && long . I mean there are like countless forms to fill up && their are 1o steps . So like...Weh [ lol ] . There was even that 15 minute video that was utterly useless because it was only about the Guidance Center there . The only fun part for me was the interview . My interviewer looked kinda like Sir Sayman . Lulz XD

Ugh , my section BTW is 1A [ Honor`s class ! @_@ ] . I think I need more than luck xD


Where`s The Exclamation Point ?
Recently , Panic! at the Disco released their new album entitled "Pretty. Odd." . At the time I heard about it , my dad was in Hongkong , so I asked him if he could buy me one . Unfortunately , he was busy with meetings with some Chinese bussinessmen so I just downloaded their songs [ Go Limewire ! XD ] .

Anyway , I was in a state of shock [ ? ] && dissapointment because P!ATD didn`t sound like their oldselves anymore . The song titles come from its lyrics which is not their usual trait . Also , the "techno feel" in their songs are gone , compared to their first album , "A Fever You Can`t Sweat Out" . For me , they now sound something like The Beatles or Fall Out Boy [ uhh toink ? @_@ ] . Oh well . I still love them , especially Brendon Urie [ XD ] .

The only song I truly love in their new album is this :


Weh . I love teh video too♥
Oh BTW , they took out the exclamation point in their name . Awwwe . I only think though @_@


5 is fun . Weh XD
Oh yey . 4 - Gonzaga [ my former section ] won 5th place in the Graduation Song Contest thingy . I never expected for it to win because we only did it in like one day [ weh ? XD ] . But I`m already proud that we made it to 5th place :D

This is our song :


Lyrics : [ by Marc Fortes && Jamira Martinez ]
I:
So many faces , yet too little smiles
Feels like I`m walking a thousand miles
Drowning in a sea of confusion
Feels like I`m trapped in a never ending illusion

II:
But with my schoolbag full of hopes && dreams
The sea feels shallower than it seems
Then I look up at the cloud-filled sky
With my head && heart held up high

&& I say (4x)...

CHORUS:
I won`t let this moment pass away
In this greatest game I ever played
Moving forward
I lay all my cards down
&& hope my luck will find its way

III:
Time will tick, but I don`t care
Cuz I`ll be grabbing every dream out there
Having the time of our lives
While treasuring the good times

&& I say (2x)..

* Repeat CHORUS *

As I`m about to leave with a smile ,
I could say it has been great even for a while
All the memories of yesterday
While never be drifted away.. away awayy...

&& I say (2x)...


* Repeat CHORUS 2x *


The winners of the grad song are as follows :
5th : 4 - Gonzaga
4th : 4 - Berchmans && 4 - Favre
3rd : 4 - Kostka
2nd : 4 - Xavier
1st : 4 - Canisius

Congrats to 4 - Canisius ! I like their grad song though . I love the lines :
"Let`s pack all our bags cuz the taxi is waiting
To go to a new place,
To a new beginning"
Awwe :D


Greatest Game I Ever Played (:
April 4, 2oo8 : Baccalaureate Mass for Batch `o8 .
April 5, 2oo8 : 59th Commencement Exercises .

The Seniors of year 2oo8 have finally graduated . Woosh .
Bye2x Ateneo High , my alma matter .
Hello, Ateneo College , the one near Boyztrek [ bwahahahaha ! XD ]

Krispy Kreme && A Demented Bear.. Better Yet , Shobe Is Back :D

Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a demented bear cellphone accessory = Shobe Jemiel`s "pasalubongs" for me . Yey ! XD

She just recently went to Manila && Hongkong [ some family thing / vacation , I think ] . I didn`t realize how I terribly missed her . I know , it sounds kinda lesbo but yeah [ XD ] . I`m glad she`s back , even for a while [ She`s going back to Manila after April 22 ] .

She had this "surprise" plan for Ahia Don . She didn`t tell him he would be coming back on that day [ the other day ] . So we devised a plan that Shobe Jemiel would surprise him x]]

We hung out the other day at NCCC Mall . She went to my house first [ Gian was with her] . The three of us , together with my middle bro [ the driver ] && his girlfriend , went to NCCC Mall together . Peter && Ahia Don were already there , playing Guitar Hero .

So when Gian, Shobe && I arrived , I texted Peter that we would be meeting up in G-Mix . Shobe Jemiel hid somewhere while I went inside G-Mix , but Ahia Don && Peter weren`t there . Suddenly , someone hugged me from the back [ It was Peter ! ^^, ] . I smiled at him , then at Ahia Don . Gian was also standing there .

Shobe Jemiel suddenly appeared but Ahia Don didn`t see her since his back was facing Shobe . Then she covered Ahia Don`s eyes with her hand . Ahia Don took off her hand, then lo && behold, the rare smile of Ahia Don showed up in his face when he saw Shobe Jemiel .

After all of that , the five of us watched Doomsday . I felt kinda sorry for G though . Tsk .


Down With The Sickness
What`s with the people around me nowadays ? Almost everyone I know has the flu/cough/colds or major sicknesses like dengue [ poor yayo :( ] .

Is summer now a sickness ? Lol . I just hope they get better .


Schools Apart
Ugh . I`m in AdJ , Mr. Three`s at San Pedro College . *sigh*


Night of Senior`s o8
After how many years , the Ateneo finally had a Senior`s Bash/Party && we were the batch lucky enough to experience it . The theme for attire was Glam Rock . It was held on the 3oth of March, 2oo8 , at The Venue .

I can say it was pretty fun , but Rache && I left the Bash quite unfulfilled because we were supposed to talk to "certain people" . Tsk2 .

But all in all, it was truly a night to remember for the Seniors (:


Play, Super Play ! XD
A conversation I had with my dad last March [ 2nd week ] :
My dad : "What do you want as your graduation gift?"
Me : "A family trip to Japan! Oh please please please!"
*I pause after saying that, thinking things over*
Then I said : "Oh, I know . NVM that . I want a PSP!"

So my dad promised to buy me a PSP . It was a good timing too, because on the last week of March, he went to Hongkong [ some business trip but he && his boss had time to shop ] . While there , he texted my mom that he had already bought my graduation gift . As the sly person I am , I read that text && I assumed it was already the PSP . I texted him but he wouldn`t tell me [ hmpf XD ] .

Too bad though , he went back to Davao on the night of the Senior`s Bash so I had to wait until the Senior`s Bash was over till I saw my graduation gift .

When I arrived home from The Venue, I went straight to my parents` room . Then YES, a PSP was there . Its color is Ceramic White [ hmmm ] . It had a nice black && white case with it [ hmmm again ] . UMDs [ Universal Media Disk ] were included . The UMDs I got were The Godfather && Capcom Classics . Cool ! I thanked my dad about a thousand times for that . He also bought me other stuff [ a Panda headgear && backpack . Weh ! XD ]

Now, I`m completely in love && addicted to my PSP , especially this game :



Go Patapon ! XD


Dai Beetch ! XD
Damn . I absolutely l♥ve this video [ though kinda morbid ] . Evidence by Urbandub . You`d really say "Dai beetch, dai!" XD




Oh , Shoot!
Yey , my gun [ a real one ] `s finally arriving this Thursday . I can`t wait to start shooting :9


Dark dark dark... Chocolate ♥
My middle bro`s girlfriend just recently came back from the States [ specifically in San Francisco ] . When she came back , she gave me a pack of dark chocolates . The brand`s Ghirardelli && I absolutely love them ! It`s 6o% cacao && super yummy . The only sad thing though is that there are only few pieces left . Oh well XD


I guess that`s about it for my updates . Weh ! :D

[ Marc Fortes , Arvi Calma , Jam Martinez && Harry Kilat ] XD

Whappow ! I became a "bassist" again when my classmates && I made a composition for our Music subject [ It was our project ] . My groupmates wanted me to play the bass but then the last time I played the bass was about two years ago [ @_@ ] . Anyway , I learned how to play it again . Weh . I didn`t realize I missed playing it . w00t .

Frankly speaking , I had fun making our composition . My first position in our band [ called Soul Aim *So Lame* ] was the lyricist . Then I became the lyricist && the bassist . Sad to say , I didn`t get to play the bass during the recording of our compo T_T

Anyway , my groupmates && I just made our compo in a matter of two days or even less [ XD ] . I am proud to say I made the first two stanzas of the song . BTW , our compo is entitled "Greatest Game" [ or was it "Moving Forward" ? ] . Either of the two XD

Through all the sweat , lack of sleep && hunger , we came up with the compo . Weh . We even circled all of Illustre [ here in Davao ] just to find a recording studio . That happened last Sunday && we were supposed to study for the exams at that time [ @_@ ] . But everybody sacrificed just to finish our project . Weh ! :D

My group members BTW are :
Lean Arcena [ lead / rhythm / bass guitar / drums ]
Laurice Arizola [ piano / lyricist ]
Arvi Calma [ photographer ? XD / sponsor ]
Patrick Derecho [ lead guitar ]
Marc Fortes [ melody "finder" / guitar / lyricist ]
Harry Kilat [ vocals ]
Jam Martinez [ lyricist / bass guitar ]
Reanne Ramos [ vocals ]
Danna Simangan [ lyricist / lead guitar ]

song: Teardrops on My Guitar

Toinkx . I know that this song`s quite known already && people keep on playing && playing this song . I usually don`t like these kind of songs much but I can relate to it :|

Teardrops on My Guitar ~ Taylor Swift

Drew looks at me , I fake a smile so he won`t see

That I want and I`m needing everything that we should be
I`ll bet she`s beautiful , that girl he talks about
&& she`s got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me , I laugh cause it`s so damn funny
That I can`t even see anyone when he`s with me
He says he`s so in love , he`s finally got it right ,
I wonder if he knows he`s all I think about at night

[Chorus]

He`s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He`s the song in the car I keep singing , don`t know why I do

Drew walks by me , can he tell that I can`t breathe ?
&& there he goes , so perfectly ,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She`d better hold him tight , give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she`s lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone , as I turn out the light
I`ll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He`s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who`s got enough of me to break my heart
He`s the song in the car I keep singing , don`t know why I do
He`s the time taken up , but there`s never enough
&& he`s all that I need to fall into

Drew looks at me , I fake a smile so he won`t see


*cough . errrrr . i`m tired of tears*

song: Brighter by Paramore


Brighter ~ Paramore

So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
&& if it ends today
Well, I`ll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

Now I think we`re taking this too far
Don`t you know that it`s not this hard?
Well it`s not this hard
But if you take what`s yours && I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

Well this is not your fault
But if I`m without you
Then I will feel so small
&& if you have to go
We`ll always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.

Now I think we`re taking this too far
Don`t you know that it's not this hard?
Well it`s not this hard
But if you take what's yours && I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
&& if you ran away,
I`d still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.

Now I think we`re taking this too far
Don`t you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

I'll wave goodbye (You shine bright)
Watching you shine bright (You shine bright)
I'll wave goodbye tonight (You shine bright)


Well , I`ve decided that I will not wave goodbye. . .This song`s a nice "goodbye song" though XD

song : Prophecies in Kodak by Mozart Season

I`ve no time to make a "serious" blogpost . But reaaaaaaaaaaaaal soon , I will :]
Anyway , I`m currently "addicted" to this song . Listen to it !!! It`s a kewl song . I ♥♥x the RIFTING of the lead gee-tar in this song XD
BTW , for the people who can`t stand screamo/metal/pure rock songs , it`s best if you don`t listen . Lol :))




Prophecies in Kodak ~ Mozart Season

With those words that I said that I never meant to say
why cant we put all these tears to bed
tonights the night where everything will
fall around you

This house enchanted, velvet carpet sprees
(your certainty gets the best of me)
(but by God it brings out the worst in me)
Your lonely hand did all to toss the key
(its a sin to let your words carress me)
(so count your blessings, its already done)
Isn't this the PICTURE PERFECT MOMENT??
Bottle up my tears in a SNAPSHOT MOTION??
Every window is a different story
Shut it then it moves on it like never happened

CHORUS:
(and you cut through my heart)
Can't feel the ink on my skin
(And you scratch out my eyes)
Can't fight the tar in my lungs
(this is the last knife youll ever put)
Can't taste the sugar from the salt on my bones
(into my back)

In a single picture frame, you and I explain
The safety involved in open doors
So record our memories with windshields kissing trees
And know that tonight was worth dying for

Thanks for second guessing. Pin this rose on me
(My only friends in this world are strangers)
(They dont know me well enough to put my heart in danger)
Forever is a promise that you could not keep
(Thanks for spreading me a different story)
(A parliament puff covers all of my lies)
I'll burn the letters while you burn our bridges
Sink the ship after you lock me in
So do your best to point the trigger finger
At all my bullet holes and safety pins

Repeat CHORUS

Shaking all night I'm
Shaking all night I
Hope you saw the light

You spend years walking down these aisles
Empty pews never meant so much to you
And I'd like it if you took your time
And I'd like it if you took your chance now
To reach your hand out
I'll reach my hand out
They'll brush in time for you to realize
That empty words can bring all that the world can sing
So I hope that its all there, waiting for me

CALL ME SOMETHING CALL ME CURIOUS
JUST SO I KNOW YOU'RE FINE
JUST SO I KNOW I SPOKE IN TIME


(my dream came true with ice on all your roads)
(shhhhh)

EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANTED
YOU GOT I WITHOUT EVEN TRYING
SO LETS JUST PLAY PRETEND
AND YOULL HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE THIS WORK

You know me better than to point the trigger finger
At all my bullet holes and safety pins
You know better than to point your finger at me

song: Tonight by FM Static

I remember the times we spent together
All those drives, we had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York everything felt right
I wish you were here with me,
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together,
were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming
Except we always woke up,
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus, and how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad, sometimes
Not having you here

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I say
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight. . .

"The stars may hold you tonight
I just hope those stars are for me.."
--Macaroonie to Hallway Guy

song: Sweet Maria by Chicosci ♥

Sweet Maria ~ Chicosci

Bless this night
I`m entering the fold
With everything to lose
Let me be ready for the end
With both guns blazing
Nothing can stop this war tonight
And you`ll be my shelter
Your suicide kisses will be mine

Sweet maria,
Guide these bullets in the air
Beautiful clash, I`m a blinded fool again
Now I`ll be cut and bruised
My love, will break on through my neck
My landmines valentine
These silver bullets will open your eyes
And I`ll be here, breathing
Your suicide kisses will be mine

Sweet maria,
Guide these bullets in the air three more in the chamber && I send
Sweet maria,
Grace this moment hear my prayer

I feel you beside me
Touch me, I tremble
My final dance,
This means everything,
Everything to me

These silver bullets will open your eyes
And I`ll be here, breathing
Your suicide kisses will be mine

Sweet maria,
Guide these bullets in the air three more in the chamber && I send
Sweet maria,
Grace this moment hear my prayer. .


"If only you would let me to,
I could be your sweet Maria
. ."♥♥
