right round

i haven't been watching House lately but i'm hoping that with some sort of miracle, they'll create a spin off and make 13/Dr. Hadley actually Alex Kelly and bring in Marissa as a patient. then they'll go finish what they started because they did not end it so well back in The O.C.

finally.

After two years of waiting and my parents getting me a car instead of booking Aj Rafael for my 18th birthday, I finally got to see him. I often get starstruck when I get the opportunity to meet an artist or anyone well known. (Ex. When I made a fool of myself in front of Meg & Dia saying run-on sentences that didn't make sense, or at least it did in my mind.) Luckily with him and his band members I felt relaxed and was able to have small talk with them, especially with Andrew Rhim and Noah Bartfield. I didn't get to meet Shiori because she had to leave right after the show. But hopefully the next time they perform as a band in NY or another close state I will.

The whole Let It Rock 2009 show was pretty good, I enjoyed it all. Jay Legaspi is beast! Allison and I had small talk with him after the show and learned that he went to college to become a diplomat but chose music over it haha. Pretty good choice Jay, though it would've been interesting to hear about the diplomat who's tying to bring about world peace through music :). Magentic North was pretty good, I'm not really all into the rap scene but seeing and listening to them live was entertaining. We had a small convo with them too after the show and learned that they lived in Queens, NY which is pretty cool.

The funny thing about yesterday is that I came there 3 hours early thinking it's like all the other shows I go too. Obviously I thought wrong so I sat in the sitting park area near 9th ave. for about an hour and a half and walked around the blocks for the other remaining hour and a half. Talk about exercise! But all that was needed, I'm pretty out of shape. Oh! I also learned from all that time outside that my hair could wit stand the wind. Pretty cool right? Yeah I thought so too. I enjoy it when people stare at my hair, it makes me feel special. I swear there was this girl at the show that kept passing by me to steal glances at my hair. She had a pretty nice cut too, with some red on the sides and such.

So with all hope I'll be able to go to California this summer to go to FAP. Another chance at watching Aj and hopefully I'll get to meet everyone on that show. I got the opportunity last year to watch and meet Passion :). It'll be cool to meet Cathy, Gabe, Lydia, Krismark, Renabette, The Adrian William Project (which reminds me, is OVID still together?), Alyssa and Leejay. Oh gosh the money spend and my willingness to watch the music I love. Also I'm going to the dance competition that Team Millenia put up, this time it's in NY. Last year I couldn't go and missed the opportunity to meet Melissa Reyes. Hopefully I'll get to meet Wobz, I love her hair!
Pictures and my video of singing with Aj after the show is posted on my facebook.

So far from that i approximate about $95. and i know im bound to be going to more shows after that. i'm an addict to music, can't be helped.

Till then, i'm off to start hw.

spectacular.

I have a tendency to disappear and keep myself quiet from others.

It makes me feel good yet horrible at the same time.

seven.

It's hard to say if it were actually worth my time.
The standing.
The waiting.
The pain you feel after a few hard hours.
The numbness from the cold.

Really, it's hard to say if it was worth your time.
To wait for something for so long, and then just to devour it in less than a so so minutes.
Where's the satisfaction in that?

seven.
damn.
hours.

The feeling's neutral.

oh star.

i need to get out of this circle and form a square.

what if.

seasons change.
styles change.
people change.

and most importantly (in my opinion) music changes.
it's the idea of wanting to express more in a different sound.
a retelling of a another story in a new way.

i think i'm ready to adapt.

cheers to them.

some people are just born writers.
they can write the simplest of things and make it sound so beautiful.
the emotions and expressions the reach out and grab you make you crave more.

i can't help but to feel envious of them.
if only i could write just as vivid as i could think my thoughts.

forget abt the forecast

it's 2009, and it hasn't exactly hit me that 2008 is is long gone.

2008 went by so fast that i could barely remember it.
it's weird that i remember the past more clearly than i do with recent events. last night i was looking through my xanga with my cousin looking for this story we wrote about 5 or 6 years ago. while skimming through my past entries i can't help but to look at how "emo" and "pessimistic" i was. as well as how i ended my entries with ~life suks~. reading it now i'm saying wteff was going through my head.now i've grown up to some extent and i'm continuing to do so.

the past is past, we look back to it for guidance and to learn more about ourselves.

it's winter break, and it's going by quicker than i anticipated.
i've spent my days in front of my laptop listening to music , reading anything that aptures my interest, and watching and renting any movie that looks good.
hopefully i'll make this "mini vaca" somewhat adventurous or memoriable.

here's a toast to the new year.
lets make it a good one.
