hmmm.. personally, if i would have to describe that "perfect lover" then probably, that "perfect lover" wouldm't actually exist! haha. nobody's really that perfect. and i won't tag any more people.

i'm going to update formally soon as possible. things have been really hectic at school. and take note, its been only two weeks since the first day of class. so bear with me.


what kind of rocker am I?

You Are an Indie Rocker!

You are in it for the love of the music...
And you couldn't care less about being signed by a big label.
You're all about loving and supporting music - not commercial success.
You may not have the fame and glory, but you have complete control of your career.

The Imminent Days Are Hell
Here's the shit:


Its only 11 approximate hours (and freaking counting) until the very first hour of our class. Holy Heat! What wickedness! What Evilness! What Immorality! This is unacceptable. What an outrage! Bullocks! Bloody hell. (Ok I know, I know. I'm actually exaggerating and i'm over-reacting..... BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!)

First Day Of SCHOOL: WHAT'LL BE LIKE? My envisage will be: (cue - first day high: kamikazee)

* The flag ceremony will not be only long and agonizing, it'll be also boring and noisy beacuse the administration will give those long and elongated speeches about the first day of school, our aims, to get better grades, and more shitty-things.

* They'll be introducing new faculty members beginning with the preschool to the highschool to the non- faculty members, to the maintenance members... and the list goes on. (And we really have to clap everytime the principal introduces one person. So that's a round of applause per person, with the exact ratio of 100:1)


Am I that cruel? Nah, I'm just really not in the mood for the whole back-to-school-craze-whimmy-mood. But i'll keep my hopes up for some sprirt-boosting event, person, or whatnot to get me in my the whole back to school entourage. Wishfully thinking that all the gods, goddess, saints, miracle healers, albularyos, and Zhang Ziyi will pray for me.

PS: i'm sorry if sound so sarcastic in this ppost. I feel like i'm a spoiled brat while writing this piece. I just can't believe that summers OFFICIALLY, FORMALLY, LEGITIMATELY, AUTHORITATIVELY, LEGALLY, RIGHTFULLY, and all the other adjectives you can think of relating to those mention above is O-V-E-R.
There will be a humungous adjustment with my lifestyle now that school's up. No more late night watching TV, puyatan, no more Totoo TV (i'm definitely gonna miss Ariel with a capital "A" and Maverick only), no more dokyu, disney channel, no more beaches, snorkeling and so much more. If i'll go on, there'll be an infinte enummeration of reasons why I can't leave my summer behind. Its just that i was so attached with THIS summer and i'm not prepared to accept the truth that its OVAAAAHHH. But i'll try to learn to soak the truth in just a matter of like, HOURS?! Haha. And the truth is, i don't want to start the school year as a worrywart, being so pessimistic is so not like me.

The city lights
Everything so fast.
Tranquiltiy's gone astray
The sun has cried into gray
The waters had gone down low
The skies are in sorrow
The stars are in grief
Why can't we just take it slow?
I want to take it slow.

Adieu Summer, Till Then
This is it? Two and a half months of vacation, and that's it?


This summer is going to an end. And believe it or not, This was the shortest sunmmer I had in the whole of my 16 years in this troubled planet. I wasn't able to do all of the things that I wanted to do for summer. Too bad. I am upset because the summer didn't permit me to make this summer one of those memorable ones, the ones that you can, without a doubt, brag to your friends upon arriving to school at the very first day of the first week of school. And isn't it evident that I am disappointed beacuse within this paragraph I have mentioned the word SUMMER 7 times? (including THIS summer.)

This summer, it was only possible for me to do the following:

(These are listed by month starting from March to May)

  1. Went around the school and tried to catch up with those damn teachers and administartors who were listed on the Students Clearance just to get them sign for the whole class so that we can go to 4th year high school. (Yes I did THIS during summer.)
  2. Called my classmates and texting them 24/7 to pass their requirements, go to school and finish their unfinished businesses so that I can let the damn teachers and administrators sign the clearance. (Unbelievable? Believe it.)
  3. Tried to forget someone. (NOW I REMEMBERED HIM AGAIN! SHOOT!)
  4. Joined the Crusaders/First responder training.
  5. Learned how to do 2-man's carry, 3-man's carry, lover's carry, fireman's carry, fireman's drag.
  6. Learned how to first aid bandage.
  7. Ate lunch that's worth 11 pesos only. (HUWAW!)
  8. Discovered my phobia for dolls.
  9. Had a band and played bass guitar.
  10. Graduated the training and became an official First Responder.
  11. Loved UP DHARMA DOWN.
  12. Had a 2 days-2 nights GSP camping.
  13. An absoultely free overnight stay in Paradise Island for Valer's (my kabarkada) birthday.
  14. TOTAL PUNK-SKA-OLD SCHOOL-NEW SCHOOL sound trip.
  15. Attened a beach party of one of my closest friend-slash-neighbor.
  16. Got nostalgic.
  17. Forgot that someone.
  18. Had professional lessons on Bass Guitar.
  19. Had lunch with myself for almost 3 weeks inside the mall.
  20. Learned to love photography.
  21. Eager to learn how to draw.
  22. Wrote bad poetry.
  23. Joined a flip-flop making contest for Bannana Peal at SM.
  24. Out of 92 participants, I was chosen to be in the consolatoion winners for the flip-flop contest.
  25. 50% free overnight stay in Isla Reta.
  26. Got dark beacause of swimming too much in Isla Reta.
  27. My father arrived from Abu Dhabi.
  28. Watched Bamboo and Urbandub Live at Smart Buddy Hot Summer.
  29. Went to the beach again for one last "HIRIT" with my family.
  30. Snorkled like I never snorkled in my entire life.

Yun lang! yun lang! sobrang konti lng ng nagawa ko ngayong summer! arrgghh..

(I Hope you realize that i'm actually speaking in actual total opposite. Honestly, this was one of the summers that i'll never forget. Memorable and irreplacable.

Isla Reta Misadventures


This is just one of the things that make me so lucky having friends who have political bloodlines, who are filthy rich, money loaded and so much more. Once again, I was lucky enough to go to an overnight stay on Isla Reta, at Talikud Island Samal Davao City. And it was all expenses paid, dude! (Well, except for the transportation and food.) So make that 50 % expenses paid. I went there with some of my close friends Camilla (the island owner), Wing, Franz and Stuart and Manong Ading our chaperone (courtesy of Camilla again.).


Misadventures Part 1


The call time was 8:30, but knowing myself, I went out of the house late – AGAIN. So when I arrived at Sta. Ana Port, Camilla said that the first boat that we were supposed to ride on left before us because I was late and they didn't want to leave me behind. We were supposed to travel at exactly 10 am, but because I was late, we were able to leave Davao City at 12:30 lunch time – a very critical time, because in that time, stomachs are burbling for food. (Oops, my bad.) But it wasn't really all my fault. Mom had a part of it, too. Because she was so concentrated and rigorous on exercising her butt, facing the TV, dancing and sweating all over the living room, (man, don't let me go into the details) the pocket money that I needed wasn't given to me at likely time. It was so time-consuming that I was able to go out of the house late. When I arrived at the boat (in Davao we call it the Lantsa, pronounced as lan-cha), I apologized for acting so selfish, not thinking of them waiting, while I was moving at a snail's pace. After everything that was said, we called it quits and decided not to start that way for vacation. They weren't actually angry at me, they just wanted to shoot me dead, wrap me in a black garbage bag and throw me into the sea so that the sharks can freely eat me. Kidding.


Upon arriving….


After almost 2 extensive and partly boring hours of waiting for the lansta to instigate, and roughly an hour and a half of journeying on the surface of the sea, finally, we arrived at our destination, TALIKUD ISLAND. Talikud Island, as I imagined in my mind was a mountain-ey, coconut-ey, sort of isolated place but much to my surprise, the place was a developed suburb, but in a simpler and humble approach compared to that of Davao City. The resort was only a walk away now that we've arrived at the island. Under the heat of the scourging sun, we walked, in the company of large bags at our back, sleeping bags on the right hand and guitar on the left. Because we were so pretty and sexy at that time, EHEM-EHEM, we overheard locals speaking "Taga ABS-CBN man yan sila". Hey dude, Kapuso ako. Nyahaha. Funny though, because while walking a very unusual event that we usually see on local TV, especially on the movies (how ironic) happened to us. Men carrying a white coffin were approaching us! Seriously. Everyone started to freak out. "Hulugan niyo ng Piso, hulugan niyo!" I kept on saying to them. I don't know if you heard of the superstitious belief that every time the dead happen to pass by you, one should throw a coin at them so as to drive death away from you. I don't know how factual the belief is, but because I was freaked out, I believed in it anyway. When the coffin was REALLY coming close to us, Mang Ading led us to a small alley where some of his friends were hiding from the coffin (see, even grown-ups get scared of coffins.) After some grueling minutes of waiting for it to pass, at last it was out of our way.


Misadventures Part 2


And FINALLY (eto na talaga) we took our first step inside the gates of ISLA RETA. Friends, its one small step for men, and a big leap for the future. My first impression? Well, picture this:


When I entered it, the first thing that caught my attention was the tall, booming heights of the pine trees and the green Bermuda grass. A few steps away from our cottage, are some kiosks where you can just chill around and eat eat eat – all the way. We also caught glimpse of animals walking around like we never existed. Dogs, lambs, chickens, cats, name them. And some few steps from the kiosks are, GASP, (this is really it) THE WHITE SAND AND THE PEACEFUL CRYSTAL-CLEAR WATERS of the BEACH. As soon as I saw the beach, suddenly the heat of the sun disappeared (it was already 2:00 p.m that time). Even when I was only watching it, I can already feel the cooling sensation of the sea. We couldn't just watch the beach without taking a picture! This was one hell of a "kodakan" moment. Afterwards, Mang Ading called us for some late lunch.
After fulfilling our tummy-needs, Mang Ading and Camilla offered to tour us around the resort. We went to some rocky portions near the shore. The water there was the clearest and the coolest. We explored and climbed the rocks and, of course, took some pictures. I found some shards of charcoal atop the border of the resort and vandaled my name on it.


Mang Ading also took us hiking, where it acquired us to climb a mountain that fortunately led us to a small cave. We were already sweating like pigs, but we didn't mind it. We were there for some fun. I was so excited to enter the cave, because it was my first time to enter one. Mang Ading told us that the cave was probably used as a shelter from the World War II decades ago.


After walking and hiking s'more, we were determined to hit the B-E-A-C-H! We were swimming and snorkeling, we swam s'more and snorkeled s'more. We caught some starfishes and placed one on top of the other. Yeaaaahhhh…. Yes we did. And if you’re scientific enough, I’m sure you’ll understand us. Ssh, it’s a secret. Sa mga bisaya, kasabot mo ani bah. Grabe kayo ang starfish. Sa gi ingun pa ni Franz, na-utgan jud daw ug maayo ang starfish bah. Oh, karon nakasabot namo? Sa mga hindi bisaya, pasensya na po. Stuart was also brave enough to catch some "bat". I don’t know what is the English term for this creature but it's the one with long, straight bodies and it somewhat resembles an eel, an intestine and a sea snake. It's green, brown or sandy-white. And its icky – that is for me, of course. But we had fun playing with these creatures and I hope they had fun playing with us, too. Hehe.


Misadventures Part 3


Nighttime came; the place was dark because there were only few lamp posts around. After everyone took their turns in taking a bath and cleaning themselves, we ate dinner and got our sleeping bags, ran towards the shore with food, flashlights, candles in our hands and had what we so-called a "night picnic" or our "ritual" We were fighting against our will that it will begin to rain, because of the typhoon Caloy and Davao City was experiencing rain. How did we know? The thunder and the lightning happening in Davao were amazingly visible on the shore. It was like watching a tragedy movie, like Twister, on a very large screen – The skies. Fortunately Mother Nature was celebrating with us that time, and thank goodness, it didn't rain on the island. We felt some droplets of rain (very small) but it didn't bother us. Hence, on with the fiesta! We sang songs from the Eraserheads and Parokya Ni Edgar, I played it on the guitar, and the rest sang with the tune. We jammed and got nostalgic. They did Kitkat. Stuart dared us not to sleep until morning, and so we tried. We pigged out, ate junk food, green mangoes with bagoong, singuelas, and water. What a good combination. Still they did Kitkat. "Have a break, have a kitkat". Hehe. We played Ice Breaker 2. Everyone took turns in selecting questions, reading them aloud to the gang and answering them with all their hearts. I still remembered one card that I chose from the large selection:


"What advice will you give in achieving your dreams?"


My answer: Simple lang, Never, even your mother, father, family, ANYBODY stop you from accomplishing your dreams. Nobody has the right to take away the most important thing that what you think will make you happy for the rest of your life. Hey, you only get to live once, unless you gamble with Lucifer of course. And I’m sure you will never want to live your life questioning yourself, asking "what if?" , "If only?" & "if I could turn back time I would..." Now, do you want that? Of course you wouldn't.


Ill-fatedly, my eyes wouldn't want to cooperate, and so were the eyes of my companions. One by one we started to close our eyes. Camilla starting it first, followed by Franz, and then me. We slept for about 1 hour and then because then Stuart and Joanna were beginning to be bummed being the only two who survived, they intentionally set their cell phones into Loud Mode. How immoral. What wickedness. What evil. Unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, we were awakened by such iniquity. So that our sleepness-ness (if there is such a word) will vanish, Stuart read our kapalaran, our future, with his handy-dandy Tarot Cards. However, that didn't actually do the job; we still fell asleep after a few hours. Even Stuart, an insomniatic, fell asleep, but just for a few minutes. We were awakened by the rays of the sun. Just in time for the sun to rise. Everybody woke up as they felt the heat of the sun streaked onto their bodies. It was a sight to see. Just across the shore were mountains of the island in the front, and as the sun rose, rays of light came out streaking from the back of the mountains, just like those on the movies. You cannot miss to give out a smile when you see it. Although we lack sleep and were hungry at the same time, seeing the sun rise gave us a feeling of relief. Its beauty helped us to be able to release all the negative feelings inside. Even a million of CD's couldn’t replace the beauty of it. It was, beyond description, Beautiful.


Misadventures Part 4


After being spellbinded by the beauty of the sunrise, we fixed our things, slowly and surely. Mang Ading offered us hot chocolate before we indulged again into the water. Once we were finished wallowing under water, we ate breakfast and then cleaned ourselves. I don't know what actually happened but everyone was knocked-out to sleep. I guess we were asleep for about 3 hours because when we woke up, Mang Ading made us eat our lunch. The lantsa that we were supposed to ride on back home was scheduled to leave at 3pm, so after eating, we packed our stuff back and walked again in the barrio and sat on the most relaxing position upon arriving the lantsa because for all you know, traveling back home is the most gruesome part of vacation. The overnight stay was a blast. I surely had fun and it’s good that I was able to come with my friends because I got to know them much better and bonded with them to the core. It was 2 days of fun, 2 days of memories, and 2 days of summer loving.
