happy new year!!!

thanks to all those who played a part in my life in 2006.. it was one of the most amazing years of my life if not the best...

there are so many things i'd like to recap on and memories i'd like to recall but then probably some other time...

i do not have new year's resolutions anymore but i do have a list of things i'd like to achieve

1. exercise! walking/jogging everyday if possible
2. record and get my own gigs on a regular schedule - mooching off other gigs and being an intermission number doesn't count (not to mention its absolutely pathetic)
3. compose compose! must have a new album by the end of the year
4. invest my christmas money and stuff in stocks... i dunno how or where but it seems like an interesting way to make money instead of blowing it on useless things
5. i miss being on the dean's list
6. organize more events/be a backstage hand... teaches me a lot
7. prove myself worthy of an opinion column *hint* hehe
8. maintain status quo of no getting wasted
9. organize my desk and stuff
10. learn another signature piece (i'm so sick of man in the mirror)
11. stop getting sick
12. use 2006 as my blueprint for what i do

that's all i got so far... any suggestions and violent reactions are welcome...
have a great 2007

ok...

i missed the SPO christmas party :(
i was looking forward to that...
they even had karaoke...

why me?!?!?!?!?!

waaaah...

well, i can't wait for all the food coming up for the holidays...

even though i think that christmas has become an overly commercialized occasion where you just HAVE to give gifts... (in case you're wondering, i don't follow that rule and i give to people who i think deserve it from me)... talk about consumerism... we are living in the post-modern era afterall... but why! on the most heart-warming and expressive time of the year... terrible... not to mention the traffic everywhere... don't you ever wonder where people go?!?!

i think its coz school just ended yesterday... and i didn't make it to the dean's list... argh...

maybe you could explain
in words that i may understand
my stairway to heaven is more than just steps
but a dredging quest for answers
through the pumping in my veins
surprised? i am more than sober to describe
the ways of the world that others need not endure
unmerited this extravaganza
more than words can illustrate
perhaps i will think otherwise tomorrow
but for now, know this:
you don't fucking know what its like
having a needle between your eyes
and being choked by your own lungs

guess what....

i'm so happy!!!



i heart Taylor!!!








can't believe i finally have a Taylor guitar :)
sounds perfect...

*tears of joy*

i look outside the window my classroom in Mutien building into the Plaza V... i notice all these little glinting specs on one side of the building... what is it? am i the only seeing it? are they reflections from somewhere? i continue to stare out the window and wonder... until i realize... they're christmas lights... who turns on christmas lights in the middle of the day?!?!?!?! ack...


anyway, i had a very unexpected long weekend... lots of surprising things and priceless moments...

the green harvest was postponed to this sat so last fri i WAS able to hang out with the trumpets peepz!!! haha... crazy people... oh my gosh... check out the pics www.kenguerrero.multiply.com... happy birthday kenny!

sat was the wedding of my cousin maricor...
funny part is, my sister and i were there as the bride's cousins/guests and we are related to the groom who is a barretto hahaha...
nice to see so many long lost cousins and meet so many people including doug kramer (animo lasalle!!! grar!!!), their pastor who was a splitting image of LL Cool J (hahaha sorry if i came across rude while trying not to laugh out loud during the sermon), and (FINALLY) Claudine Barretto... i felt like telling her that its her fault i am mercilessly questioned by complete strangers everyday... ugh..

[dammit i am not mooching off her fame, can't you people see that i am making a name for myself?]

btw, star complex moment... i heard i was part of graphika manila - an exhibit coz of one of the acting/modeling stints i did for CSB... dunno which one though haha...

in other news: my cousin gave birth to a bouncing baby girl... how cute... and i feel old... hahaha...

i have so many things i still have to do... see ya critters...

THE GREEN HARVEST WAS POSTPONED!!! just when i thought everything would be falling into place perfectly on fri, this storm has literally blown the event away... grr... oh well... hope this week will serve as a time to make improvements here and there... not to mention a long vacation this weekend...

in the meantime....
i'm enjoying the last few hours of internet, cable, phone, and electricity before the storm cuts off all forms of communication...

CURSE YOU OIL MONOPOLY!!! GLOBAL WARMING IS CAUSING THESE INSANE TYPHOONS YOU IDIOTS!!! THEN YOU COMPLAIN WHY YOU'RE ROOF IS FLYING OFF INTO OBLIVION!!!


here we go again... at least this time i can brace myself...

conspiracy theory:

PAG-ASA SCREWED IT UP BIG TIME WHEN THEY FAILED TO INFORM THE CONCERNED PUBLIC ABOUT THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF THE LAST BAD TYPHOON MILENYO. WHAT IF THEY WERE JUST SAYING THAT THIS UPCOMING BOUT IS AN EVEN STRONGER "MILENYO" JUST SO THAT THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE IDIOTS AND THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T BE CURSING THEM TO BE SWALLOWED UP BY THE GROUND?


more rants:

kenny... i'm so sorry i can't go to your bday party :( waaahh! have a great one though

i'm getting sick and tired of my allergies... as i said, my nose can predict weather... should've known this storm was coming grr...

i'm just so pikon right now...

i watched happy feet..

so adorable!!!
and the way they made thousands of penguins dance in such cadence is mind boggling...

well... i'm stuck at home again coz i'm sick... this is the deep breath before the plunge on friday... at least i have a couple of days to recover...

green harvest awards is looming... dadaduuuuuuuuummm

i digress...

some people are just funny... haha...

i digress again...

the weather is becoming nicer everyday... you can really feel christmas coming...

i digress yet once more...

i can't believe i finally found spare time to rant and rave away... for the first time in weeks i'm happy i can just stare at the ceiling...

like i said... deep breath before the plunge...

i still have to go christmas shopping.... the bazaar in cuenca is pretty nifty haha... i like it... it also has that air of 9 year old alana running in the football field...

(sorry digress again)

i'm looking out my window and there are bats flying around... i dunno why it reminds me of that french airplane stunt show i saw one day when i was about 11... it was amazing...

i think i'm getting a fever again... i had better go...
