Still here!

God! I’ve been such a poor blogger lately. I have my excuse though. Next week will be our final exams! I’ve been dragging myself lately to school because I really wanna start my sembreak! LOL! I have a lot of requirements to finish and I gotta hit the books soon. So probably, after next week, I get to relax and blog more often! I have to make up for my absence in your blogs. I also got sick this past few days. I had an infection on my left eye. Thus, my time in front of our computer has greatly reduced to give my eyes a break.

Anyway, This post will be really quick because I really don’t have anything to talk about. My mind is too cluttered with school work. I just wanted to post something to let you guys know that I’m still alive and blogging. LOL!

So, to give this post some sense, I wanna answer the tag from JHED. Let me just say, I am one heck of a music lover. I think it came from my dad. He has this amazing collection of great CD’s (all original) from his generation. From Santana, to Michael Jackson, to Celine Dion; My Dad was a complete music man. If memory serves me right, when He was in college, he was a drummer in a band. Unfortunately, He didn’t bother to teach me any musical instrument. LOL! How could He? He’s been busy working hard abroad so we didn’t really get the chance. Ramblings aside, each of his CDs has a sticker of a number on it. I’m not sure if it’s also alphabetized. He liked to keep his collection in order and neat. He has an amazing sound system and loved to listen to music and watch movies in surround. He made sure our entertainment room was surrounded with his speakers on all sides of the room. He loves to sit on a comfy couch, smoke a cigarette, dim the lights and listen to music while he relaxes and ponders. I like to do that too, except replace the cigarette with a drink (preferably something with alcohol, LOL!).

INSTRUCTIONS:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Call Me When You’re Sober - Evanescence

2. Here It Goes Again – Ok Go

3. Over My Head – The Fray

4. U + Ur Hand – Pink

5. Ridin’ – Chamillionaire

6. The Diary of Jane – Breaking Benjamin

7. Fidelity – Regina Spektor

I have A LOT more songs that I am currently enjoying. It has its own play list (Jigs’ Flava! LOL!) I just played my iTunes on shuffle in order to pick seven. I hope this post will suffice for now.

I can’t believe ramblings can poetically be arranged to create a small tribute to my father. LOL!

HANG IN THERE…BABY!!!

Musika V: Supernova

Last week, my infatuation ended. Nooooo! Say it isn’t so! LOL! What a great season! I unexpectedly enjoyed this show tremendously. Even my bets did well! 3 out of my predicted final four made it and one of them was the victor! I guess most of you know who it is by now. Lukas Rossi emerged as the rockstar for this season. I have a lot of favorite performances from different rockers. I love Magni’s version of I ALONE, Ryan Star’s BACK OF YOUR CAR and Toby Rand’s THROW IT AWAY to name a few. But since I know you won’t watch all of them, let me post three performances which I love among all:

LadyLike by Storm Large

This song is just pure ear candy. I can't help but sing along and rock with her. The Queen of Rock lives in Storm Large! LOL! Actually this is the clean version. She curses in the original but either way, Storm rocked it! Thank God she was able to perform this before she left. At least she got to show what her music is about.


Bitter Sweet Symphony by Lukas Rossi

One of my favorite alternative rock songs ever since I first enjoyed it on the OST of Cruel Intentions. Lukas added a Gothic twist to it and totally worked! The angst from his performance was perfect for the mood of the song! My rocker senses are tingling. I honestly got chills when I watched his performance!


Lithium by DILANA

Love at first sound! She is just enchanting! When I saw her performance, She just blew me away! She knows how to take command of the stage and she gets total respect from the audience out of it! I LOVE ALL of her performances and she just keeps getting better. I still stand by my what I said and that she should have won this thing!

Congratulations to Lukas for winning the chance to front the band SUPERNOVA! I hope they do well. But, let me speak my mind first. In my opinion, Dilana should have won it. She has never received any criticisms about her singing. All of her performances where goosebumps worthy. I think, the guys of Supernova do not really like the fact that their band will be led by a woman. I think they feel uncomfortable being fronted by a female. But that's just me. I also like Lukas. He is very talented, specially at composing songs. I liked the band's song entitled IT'S ON. Lukas sang this with the band during an elimination show. Rockstar: Supernova really got me in touch with my rocker roots! Till the next ROCKSTAR!

Chaoticized!

I wasn’t able to think of a suitable title for this post so I decided to make up a word to somehow describe it. Random thoughts and fuzzy memories are the composition of this note. This is just me loosening up a bit.

Let me just congratulate (once again) a good friend on his present achievement of a hundred posts on his blog. Congrats REX! I know he is slightly “over-advertised” on my blog, but he IS a friend and I AM an avid reader of his blog. My being a guest writer on his blog was the cherry on top of the cake. LOL! Go to Rex’s blog to read our banter over his top ten most favorite posts. Try reading them if you have time, I guarantee a good read. I haven’t read a single bad post, or article for that matter from him. Did you know that his H.S. graduation speech (he was valedictorian. gosh!) was plagiarized? I won’t go into any more details but it just shows he is THAT good. He is twice the writer I will ever be, and that’s an understatement (nakow, wag sanang lumaki ang ulo!).

I just got a new recipe for dessert, a no bake chocolate soufflé with whipped cream. Fairly easy and deliciously creamy; I’m sure the above mentioned blogger will like this. I’ll make this the next time we have a dinner party. Let’s see if he has any criticisms about this one! LOL! I’ve been meaning to try more recipes but I really have very little time to plan and cook anything. My dad asked me if I wanted to attend a summer class for cooking. I said sure, but I haven’t really made my mind up just yet. I like my summer vacations to stay that way, a vacation! LOL!

Let me send a shout out to this girl for our little serendipity. You have good taste. LOL!

I’m having a hard time with my 21 day plan. It’s not that I don’t have any discipline; it’s just that it’s hard to be on a diet while others around you are eating anything they want. I watched Noypi (pinoy when rearranged which refers to Filipinos) on ABS-CBN. Their topic is the discrimination that Filipinos have against a person’s, weight, looks and sexual preference (gay or straight). They showed hidden footages of random Filipinos and how they interact with a “normal” person and with a person who is either fat, unattractive or gay. Although there were those who were genuinely nice and accommodating, there were those who barely acknowledged the person who they consider "abnormal". What does the physical hold over the mind that it makes it so difficult for some people to be courteous to...EVERYBODY (Whether they be beautiful or not, fat or thin, gay of straight)? I don’t know the answer. Tell me when you do...

Haaaay, another cheerful post successfully “chaoticized” by yours truly.

HANG IN THERE BABY!!!
