Another Week Gone By... Again!

Mood: Happy, Actually...
Music: The Spill Canvas - Self-Conclusion

Crap, I can't believe time flies by so fast sometimes... I guess it doesn't even occur to me that entire weeks go by until I check my blog and realize I haven't posted in a week. The past week was eventful and very fun... Arki week at school, Hiyas, Salamin opening for the Dawn at the Hole, a good weekend out... fun fun fun :) Another sorry to everyone who tried to contact me during the week as I was phoneless... I got it back FINALLY saturday morning. Sadly, I didn't have it for Hiyas or the Salamin gig, so no pictures. However, now that I do have a bloody camera, I finally succumbed to the "in" thing and got multiply. I'm still working on it, so don't expect much at first but it's dizzyfreak.multiply.com. Anyone surprised? Hahaha.

Hiyas was uncontrollable hilarious. I couldn't keep a straight face, much less keep myself from laughing when I saw my two good friends dressed in drag in a "beauty pageant" for straight men only. Hihihihi. Good fun. Afterwards, the Hole where Salamin opened for the Dawn. I'm so proud! They played great and soooo many people were there, even lots who I didn't even expect to be there, including some old friends and some of my cousins. Coolness! Later in the night the Dawn rocked the house; they're always a pleasure to watch. I'm SO SO SO annoyed I didn't have my phone to take a video of when they covered the Killer's "Mr. Brightside" though, something which they did for the first time that night, as well as a few U2 covers... AWESOME! They played Katulod ng Dati and Salamat as well, two of my faves so that rocked.

Saturday night was the typical night out; checked out Fran's party in Eastwood and hung out with the Goldilocks girl crew then headed to the fort for a bit. Good stuff; never mind good company and free drinks. Only downside was waking up bloody early Sunday morning for Church then ASAP with baby Y and Li... Which, surprisingly though, was really fun.

I love you Baby Y! Haynako, I can't believe we haven't even known each other a whole year yet and already all the stuff we've gone through together. You're the best. ANIME LA SALLE. Dahahaha. Joke, joke. What a weekend we had eh? And NASCAR (though you will probably never read this) you rock my world, champ :) Hahahaha. Today, there was no school so I got to relax and hang out with Baby Y, set up my multiply and load pics on the computer. So yun... thats about it. School tomorrow, better run. Actually, not even tomorrow, later! hahaha... Peace.

Another Week Gone By...

Mood: Happy
Music: Taking Back Sunday - Error Operator

Another week has flown by surprisingly fast and I'm just updating... Last week was pretty busy with school and activities being that it was AF week... Lots of fun stuff though. Friday was the fieldtrip to batangas and then Mika's beach house over the weekend. Thanks to all those who took part in the consumption of absolute water on the field trip, lots of good fun! I can't believe I went all the way to Batangas at 6 in the morning without sleep, then back to Magallanes at about 7pm, then all the way back to Calatagan and straight into partying; another night of no sleep. But the fun was worth it all. I missed fungus! Hehehe. Good stuff. Pao, the light is all over you! Hahahahahaha.

Progress with the band stuff as well... another jam last week, and Hans and I have been working a lot lately on the stuff. We have close to three songs now, so awesome... Still super excited. Jordan and Rozie are busy, so I've been thinking lately of asking Foom and Eo to fill in... we'll see. I dunno if Eo is game, is busy, or would be into our stuff. As for Foom, he's said alright already, but he's kinda busy and he doesn't have a bass... Basta, we'll see.

I was supposed to go out Saturday night when I got back from the beach but I actually passed out mid-dressing I was so tired. I woke up the next morning with the shirt I was gonna wear out on, and my boxers, sprawled out on my bed hehehe. Haynako. Apparently I missed two great party's... the one of my sister's barkada and Jo's bday... Crap. Sorry to everyone who tried calling me that night to wake me up or ask where I was cuz the shroomed out idiot that I was left my phone in Pao's car on the way back from the beach. I still don't have it. :O *sighs* I hope he drops it off... I feel like I'm not part of the world without it haha. Plus I wanna load all the pics from the week! Anyways... Until next time!

Pahabol.

I got my k750i. OH MY. LOVE IT. 'nuff said... bye!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck. I Hate Mondays...

Music: Emery - Studying Politics

I couldn't wait for the original copy of the Emery album... over the weekend I slept at Khalils house and downloaded some tracks then slapped them onto a CD-R. Wow. I <3. Friday, I checked out Ca's bday party at Tienamen in Makati, got to hang with a lot of the Brent grads from this year who I hadn't seen in a while... Was nice to reconnect with those people. And no one in their right mind passes up an oppurtunity for good company and an open bar! When it was dying down, some other friends showed up and us last people standing left Tienamen around 4ish... fun night... Though I did have to get up a few hours later for the Lamangan at school.

Got to the Lamangan around 9ish, which was fun... I felt bad though cuz I felt like I could have done more, but its not like I didn't ask to anyways... they just told me to sing a song, so I did! Well... Left the Lamangan after lunch to go home and change, then Hans picked me up for Roxy's barbeque in Alabang. On the way we stopped by the Xtreme office for a VTR quickly and bumped into Nandro, then went to Roxy's. The usual crowd was there... food was excellent, company great, and I have never had so much fun playing Taboo in my life. Babaw clues for life dahahaha! "Guys, guys... abbreviation for toilet paper!!!!" "T.P.?!" "Yeah, nice one... Teepee!!! Next..." Hahahah Laugh trip.

After Roxy's I rode with Indy and we picked up Khalil... next stop, God's Kitchen. Enough said. FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN night. Crashed at Khalils after leaving 'kitchen early cuz Indy was too wasted and couldn't take it and stopping by Pao's. "Khal? Are you still single?" "No..." "What happened?" "I have a girlfriend..." "How'd that happen???" "*****..." Haynako, buhay. Indy, hope we don't have to bite our lower lips for much longer man... I understand. REALLY.

Went to church when I got home here in the village with the family and Nascar. Nice that he's hanging out in the house and I'm getting to know the guy. I like him. That's in his best interests... really, it is. But yeah, we're making friends. He even texted me when he left, very cool. Hans and I FINALLY jammed in a new studio by his place... we got one song pretty much down and are working on two more. It's about bloody fucking time. I'm really excited.

Today was spent catching up on AF app and actually going to class. I'm hoping the effort and enthusiasm will continue through the week, seeing as it IS AFweek and sigsheet deadline is this Friday... you can do it Jay, you can do it! Hehehe. I actually have a lot of fun now in school. Now if only I could get myself to work at home... Hmmmmm... Until next time, laters!

Hmmm...

Mood: "Whatever, Dude" = euphemism for apathy
Music: Salamin - Maskara

Boredommmm as usual. Spent some time with my mom, dad and the kids this week, which was nice since I haven't seen them in like a month. Mom bought me new shoes Tuesday, and I got my line SIM back, yehey! Tuesday night was awesome, watched Salamin at Guijo (love you guys ^^) then ended up the night with a Isshin stop. Lots of people... even tita Angeli was there, which was a shocker. If anyone has pictures let me know... I want!

Hmmm... I really should get my shit together with school... It's not that I don't wanna, but I dunno, it just never happens. *shrugs* At this point i think I've already royally fucked up my entire first semester, so I guess all i can do is my best from here on in and hope for the best... I mean, I'll be lucky to pass a class or two. Haynako. GO TO SCHOOL JAY... YOU'RE CONSCIENCE SAYS SO. AND DO YOUR WORK...

Sorry... the voices in my head are getting rather outspoken again. Hehehehehehe.

Ohh... was happy to discover that Emery released a new album the other week. Perfect timing too, now that parental units are in the states. Yehey... probably gonna ask for that and some other albums... or maybe some guitar stuff like heavy bottom light top slinky strings. Need some better tone... stupid extra light strings are all they seem to sell in this bloody country. Hans visited last night and we had a good talk about life and stuff, but more importantly the band situation... we seem to really have the same frustrations about it all, but we were able to jam a little bit and plan things out a bit more. It's really bloody killing me that I'm not out there gigging... It's almost as if every day I'm not making music and performing and all that, I lose more and more of my vitality. Maybe I'm delusional. Scratch that, of course I am.

INKKKK SPILLLLLSSS ON PAPPPPPERRRRRR, PPPPPAAAAPERRRRR SPEEEEELLLSSSSS MYYYYY BLLOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

Same Old.

Mood: Bored
Music: Finch - Brother Bleed Brother

So I'm just home bored on a Monday night... first time I've just been chilled out and bumming online in a few days, so it's nice, figured I'd just drop another update. The parental units (step mom and daddie) are off to the states this coming wedesday for daddies comedy's tour... they've been rehearsing in the house the last couple of weeks, it should be a hit... well, at least it is with me. I mean, the thing is bloody hilarious. Should be nice to have an element of added freedom while they're gone... i hope. And hopefully i can request for some cool shit from the states; if that pulls through, well... Berry nayce!

After my last post, my tito Gil died, so I was at the wake a few times towards the end of the week... though I wasn't close to the guy, it did seriously make me question mortality and like... the frailty of human life, the importance of those you love and the relationships you have with them, and the even greater importance of not taking those relationships for granted cuz they could be gone from one day to the next. Death is heavy stuff... I never really know how to respond to things like that, or where to place myself or how to act at funerals/wakes etc. *shrugs* I guess I've also been lucky? (i don't really believe in luck, but whatever) to not have lost anyone yet I was super close to... It was kinda weird though since I just saw tito Gil like... a few weeks ago, alive and well. *sighs* R.I.P. Tito.

I was at the wake till early morning Friday, and though i didn't sleep toooooo late, the idiot that I am forgot to turn his phone off silent, despite setting my alarm so I missed Arch 1 Friday... hope Sir Alex doesn't fail me, though I'm really walking a thin line. Stupid stupid STUPID STUPID STUPID man = I. Maybe my karma was the fastfood commercial... they lacked budget so they dropped a couple people, myself included. Apparently I have to give the people without projects a chance or some bullshit like that. Not that I care all THAT much, but it would have been fun doing another commercial with Alexa, and hanging out with Denise, Bryce and some of the other people since I've never done anything with them. Not to mention money is money. I wanna do a project with nandro dammit. Sorry, random, la lang. Theres many other projects to come, hopefully :)

Speaking of projects and money, i FINALLY got bloody paid for the Jack and Jill shoot i did like.. ages ago, but I haven't been able to deposit it yet since I keep forgetting banks close at 3pm... maybe cuz my brain only starts working at like... 5... but whatever. Tomorrow I shall do it after Arch 1 on the way to Makati. Need... New... Phone... k... 7... 5... 0... i... *drools* Camera pa. Soon Jay, soon.

The weekend was a super fun one... after picking up my check with Hans on Friday, we hung out at Jennys house for a bit, then went to greenbelt... While hans was watching some play the rep people made him watch, I met up with Cem for a while, which was cool since I hadn't seem him in a few weeks, then we met up with a bunch of people at Pepatos... mostly Brent alums from the batch above me. Uhm... leseee... after Hans introduced me to his rep friends and we drank for a while, then we went to Temple to meet up with Gerrick, Nandro, Luce and a lot of other people. Stayed for a few hours incessantly waiting for my "free drinks" that Gerrax promised, which, naturally never came, so fuckit... *note to self: never rely on Gerrax for free drinks at Temple*

After that, Nandro, Luce and I checked out Saris party at Temple, where I saw a lot of my highschool friends, very very cool. More inuman, fun fun fun... Ended up eating at Isshin. Yum. Saturday, went to Lamangan practice for the AF applicants, then met up with Anj and her sister at Araneta to watch the FEU-UP game, which, sadly we lost. :( Its ok, GO MAROONS nonetheless. They played a good game, and I still feel like had a few factors been different we could have won. Next time. Saturday night, Severo and Salamin at the hole; family affair, Gab was actually present for once, and of course Pao and Ange were there with the rest of the usual gang. Even Kiana was there for a little bit with Tita Angelia for some VTR thing they shot outside the hole for tito Gary's bday. *shrugs* Don't ask, cuz I don't know. Salamin gets better every time I see them. Props. I <3. And the more i hear Pao... damn... Pinsan, if you were not my kasin, and if I were a chick or not straight. Dear god, I would jump you, as long as you are singing. K... moving on, I can't believe I just typed that. Wait. Yes I can. Whatever... hahaha.

Inuman at Mika's house after, had a bonding session with Jor, very cool... I really like the dude. And i mean comeon, who doesn't wanna make friends with a bonafide rockstar?! Naks hahaha. Met lots of new people too, also very cool. Ended up drinking til Early morning, ie. sun very very up na, hence a bunch of us ended up going with Mika and her family to church, tangina, what a trip... walang tulog pa, pucha... And then after you'd think we'd all go home and sleep right, but NO, after that, rockwell and a movie pucha... Hahaha. Sleep deprivation is fun sometimes. The shit you do and say. Try it sometime if you haven't ;) Slept like a ROCK though when i got home. Sabagay. Fun fun weekend. :)

Hung out at Pearl today after class (which I didn't go to... haynako) and saw Reg for a bit, then visited Bravo at his new place, which I had never been to. I haven't seen that fucker in a while, good hanging with him. Ben stopped by for a bit too, I missed both of those guys. Hopefully I'll see more of them in the future. I told them to try and go to Saguijo tomorrow... Hope I can make it... 99% sure at this point though. I wanna see Salamin again... tangina, im turning into a diehard fan. Lol. They have pseudohired me as their "soundtech" anyways. When I got home, Baby Y made me kuwento about her weekend, I couldn't stop laughing. I swear, that girl cracks me up. I labs my seestor. :) And its like i feel like im vicariously living high school again through her... its kinda cool. Funny pa how similar our weekends were. Hahaha. Well, not really. Basta. Laugh trip. Love you baby Y!

School tomorrow. Shit. Well, that's life. Better force myself to sleep.

PS. New finch album? <3 Different sound for sure. RAGE!!!! Hahaha. Not sure what I thought when I listened to it the first time... I definitely liked it though, and it's really grown on me. Hasn't left my cd player for a day or two now. Thanks for the copy, albeit incomplete, Hans. :) "Anger... Fear... Agression.... These lead to the dark side...." Fuck you Yoda... at least the dark side makes for good grooves hahaha. IMMMMM OUTAAA CONTROOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aftermath.

Mood: Lazy
Music: Pinback - Penelope

Wow. Last few days have been SUPER fucking busy. Monday during the day consisted of running around from vtr to vtr and the workshop for the fastfood commercial. Saw Denise there and hung out with her afterwards, then saw Aj later when he met up. Got stuck in the rain commuting home, ate dinner inside a cab... yahoo! Got home pretty exhausted but I had the ton of work to do for Arch 1 so i consumed a box and a half of extra joss within a 12 hour period and pulled an all night to get caught up... well kinda. I got to school for my esquisse at 8:45 and there were still about five or six plates I hadn't done, but with the help of my oh-so-awesome friends, I was able to finish all but one or two by the afternoon and turn them in.

For some reason I kept on drinking buko juice the whole day. Like.. every twenty minutes I buy a new one. I have no idea why, its just weird. I think I'm addicted. Is there such a thing as a buko juice junkie? So anyways, even though class was over at noon, I had to finish though plates up so I was working around school till three-thirty ish, then afterwards, I just hung out till about 5:30, then headed over with a bunch of my friends to the film center to watch my cousin Ryan's movie premiere... "anak ng tinapa" which was actually really fucking cool. Interesting film, the approach was very different... a bit weird in places though, but in a good way. After the movie, had dinner then went to the wake of my Tito Gil who died early that morning from a heart attack... saw the usual horde of Martinez relatives at there, most of whom I only know by face. We're such a big clan on my dads side that I'm really struggling just to get my dads siblings name's right. Well, whatever.

Later, I guess i'll be working on some plates for Arch 2 that I have to turn in by tomorrow... I was supposed to go to school earlier for some AF stuff, but im actually feeling really sick and not in the mood since I don't have class. I think from being stuck in the rain then pulling an all nighter and all that, my immune system was just real weak and so now like... I dunno, nose is running and stuffy and all that good stuff -_-. Good news is I'm finally getting farking paid for the Jack 'n Jill i did like 5 months ago... my check should be ready on friday. Woohooo... New phone time... Yeah! I wanna get the k750i with the 2 megapixel camera cuz I'm rather annoyed about not having a camera lately actually. Fun fun fun! Hmm... what else is new.... I have to go back to filmex tomorrow as well for a wardrobe fitting for the fastfood... i really hope its not during my class time because I can't miss much more Arch 2. *sighs* I wanna go out this weekend... la lang. I wanna go shopping online... hmm... i want twinkies and chef boyardee...
