this week has been a normal, smooth flowing perhaps. monday .. hmmnn.. ano nga bang meron nung monday? hala. wala ata ako matandaan. :| sensya lang. ulyanin na ata ako. basta gising, pasok sa school, uwi, gamit ng computer, kinig ng brewrats, tulog. yun ang daily routine ko. =)) then nung tuesday, nagreview ako kahit papaaano kasi the following day, monthly exam na namin. actually, hindi ako naka-concentrate sa review ko dahil madaming distractions (brewrats, first time, 24 oras) oo. tama yun. :D kaya nung wednesday ng madaling araw ako bumawi kahit konti. :)) ayus naman din kasi dirediretso lang yung pag-answer ko sa test paper. maagang natapos yung exam kaya maaga rin dismissal. eh kaso lang 12pm na ko nagpasundo kaya nagscrabble na lang kaming magkaklase. simula last week, nung nag-umpisa yung sportsfest, adik na kaming magkakaklase sa scrabble. basta may vacant lang na oras. nakaww. ibibilog namin yung upuan at mag-uumpisa na ang laban. =)) HAHA. wednesday ng gabi, as usual, hindi ulit ako nakareview. may american idol, first time, 24 oras at brewrats tsaka pala internet. alam mo na kung anong tawag sa kanila! PANIRA, EPAL, DISTRACTION, DESTRUCTION. haha. hindi naman destruction nu. inspiration ko kaya yang mga panira na yan. X3 marinig ko lang boses ng RATS, kumpleto na gabi ko. =)) thursday, last day ng tests, buena mano ang TLE. buti medyo madali siya unlike the previous tests. chem and history were like quizzes. konting items lang kasi. kaya medyo less hassle. oks na oks na pagkatapos nun. scrabble na lang ulit habang naghihintay sa service. :P pag-uwi ko sa bahay, nagcomputer ako tas biglang dumating yung 3 classmates ko. nagcut na kami ng kanta para sa presentation namin sa foundation day. waaaah. ang gulo nila. namin pala. XD ang tindi nga niyan kasi next wed. na yung sayaw ipeperform pero hanggang ngayon, wala pang ni-isang step na naturo. hidni ko pa sure kung sa monday may practice. sana wala. :))) kung sa tuesday naman kasi, bale pagkakasyahin naming ipractice ang aerobics (sa umaga ng foundation; practical test na rin sa MAPEH), hiphop sa gabing part then the following day, speech fest naman kaya may speech choir sila. kaming tatlo nila sharla at patty, hindi na sasali sa speech choir kasi meron kaming ibang sasalihan. ako, extemporaneous tas oration si sharla then declamation si patty. hayy. hectic ng sched namain. WTH. :| haggard ang labas nito. :(
anyways, kanina pala, championship na nung scrabble. my partner and i end up in the 3rd place. ok na rin. :))
TUMBLR POSTS PORTION : mga tumblr posts na magandang ipost sa blog ko. :D
wala na palang MTV pilipinas. idk why. and related to that, may nakita akong post sa tumblr na nakakasad. :( :
“Video killed the radio star”… that’s what all of us 20, 30, 40 sumthin folks or better known as Generation X, are hummin’ at this very moment as the curtains begin to close on you, MTV Philippines. In approximately 10 hours, a dear friend will bid farewell to its world and mine.
The news came as a shock to me to say the least. I never imagined that such a household name and industry leader could be taken down from its spot. We all know you had lived easy and some, less than easy days. You had your fair share of struggles, moving from one home to another. There was Channel 23, Studio 23, IBC 13, Channel 41 that served as your temporary sanctuary, but you were still comfortably kept within the realm of Philippine television. You had always survived, one way or another.
Call me emo, but hey, I’m depressed man! It’s like watching a brother slowly pass upon his death bed, and I lie powerless to revive or resuscitate. MTV Philippines, you played a vital role in my semi-charmed life and I will tell you why.
I marked every crossroad, every feat and memory, good or bad, of each and every day of my post-puberty life with a song, along with your music videos. From the day I first went out on a date in ‘92 to the day I ended my last serious relationship, Nirvana, TLC, Pearl Jam… the great living and dead were at my side, serenading…comforting reminding me…that “Im just a teenage dirtbag baby”
I have vivid memories of days when I woke up watching Chumbawumba’s “Thubthumping” after my worst college hangover. I remember the day I danced along with Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” video when I got my first job… and met awesome new colleagues that introduced me to Jaggermeister. I had my fair share of wild nights out in town, and certain “memorable” nights with Maxwell and Shaggy as my witness. Even after I turned 30, I still ran to you for refuge. Believe it or not when I lived in a suitcase flying from province to province, I kept you on before I slept to ward off my fear of dingy haunted hotels.
Another reason why I want my MTV Philippines – you filtered “other” Asian mixes and played only what I liked (and understood). I didn’t have to sit through some odd foreign video just to see Parokya ni Edgar or Francis M. Finally, I didn’t have to switch channels. It was a huge relief, or so I thought.
They say it’s gonna be pretty much the same. They say nothing is really lost as far as visibility to the trends in music and entertainment are concerned. They say this because your big brother MTV Asia will still exist, blah blah…But I will say this – it will never be the same without you.
MTV Philippines, you did not only give birth to the true blue pinoy playlist, you also opened your doors to the country’s finest VJs, confident, witty, talented willing and able bodied beautiful people who knew how to ENTERTAIN and REPRESENT the nation. People I look up to ‘til this day.
We both saw Ramon Bautista make it big through his crazy and candid 5 minute segments. Such a bright young fella. Sarah Meier blossomed into a fierce TV and runway host. And who can ever forget KC Montero? Your boy did not only master the art of making teenage girls giggle— he also mastered the art of making people of all ages laugh. All these and more…all great achievements, by those who know how to walk the walk and talk the talk—- they all happened under your roof. They made us all proud to be Pinoy.
And so my friend, before they pull the plug, I want to take this time out to say this— it was an honor knowing you MTV Philippines. You were there as I went through the worst and the best, and when I was put through the test you soothed my restless soul. I say this with conviction— no other music channel can mark a memory so well as you did for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
One last thing I am grateful for is this… MTV Philippines, your depart only paved the way for that silver lining in radio. I was a big fan seeing your kids on TV, but now.. since I do spend more time hearing them as they pour their hearts and minds out, I am now a bigger fan. So close your eyes and rest in peace my friend. Find comfort in knowing that your legacy lives on … nowhere else but in the airwaves.
Goodbye my MTV Philippines. It was a good run.
Love, Chrissy
PS - hit me up if you ever decide to rise from the dead.
tas ito na pala yung surprise gift ni ina sakin. sobrang ganda ng poem kaya pinost ko sa tumblr. :)
Chapter 16
Ina Riana Nikita de Guzman
A simple rose that is far from ordinary
is scattering its petals on every 13th of February
As you flip the page and start a new chapter
I give you my greetings as you turn a year older
May I have the moment for a while?
Through this poem, I`ll make your lips and heart smile
We`ll run in reverse and revive the memories
And indulge ourselves in the past
that just seemed like reveries
My fate with you began when we were on 5th Grade
Our unique friendship was then perfectly made
There were the times that we laughed
There were times we cried over the silliest stuff
Together we took roads filled with thorns
But still our hearts lie a pact we have sworn
The odds back then were always against us
But with your hand in mine,
this will all just come and pass
Knowing you was probably the nicest thing made by destiny
Just like the collaboration of a melody and a harmony
We`ll stick together forever like constellations
No matter how distant, we`ll still keep a connection
Thank you for watching the stars with me
You made me believe that there is more to see
I will cherish a promise found deep within my heart
That Henna and Ina will never grow apart
cute no. love talaga ako ni ina at love ko rin siya! :"> yun na muna for now. tune in na lang kasyo sa tumblr ko for updates on me. :D BYE! :)

- Fun.
This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
