Of Shirley Temples and Joy Rides

I got home around 4am after spending the night at Metro Bar in West Ave. for a benefit concert held by ECE organizations from Ateneo, UP, and La Salle.

It was the first time I ever went into a bar and well, it was okay. I loved the opening performance of CADS. They were awesome. The bands were also great although Radioactive Sago Project was kind of weird. But I liked their "Gusto ko ng Baboy" song. Haha. Then there was Up Dharma Down, Paramita, and Sugarfree. Sugarfree is also love. They played "Tulog Na" for their last song (which kind of reminded me of my near-death experience last December oops).

There were also performances from LSDC and UP Streetdance. Then there's this band called Dalandan Soda. My blockmate was part of that band before so I listened to their songs with extra effort. Haha. Their covers of the songs were great. The vocalist was pretty good (both in the voice and looks department. HAHAHAHA). And i liked their original song. I forgot the title but it was nice.

I didn't drink anything alcoholic although I was slightly tempted to do so. The guys were offering me their drinks but I settled for a Shirley Temple instead. Best non-alcoholic cocktail drink I've ever had. Well, it's the only cocktail drink I ever had so far, but I totally love it. I can't figure out what it tastes like but i like it. Yum.

I also figured out that it was a mistake to sit beside Lester. They were taking advantage of the seating arrangement to take pictures of us. Damn. Well, the first few shots were okay. I didn't mind that much. But it got tiring in the end. They were making such a big deal out of it. Ugh.

Anyway, we left Metro Bar around 1:30 to grab something to eat at Something Fishy in Eastwood. The guys who were driving all had their share of drinks. Josh had eight bottles, Alvin had five, and JP three. I ended up riding with Janine in JP's car -- which was a good thing cause Josh and Alvin drove like there was no tomorrow. Although I was slightly worried about JP's driving cause he's crazier than usual with only three bottles of beer. Turned out he was actually a slow driver so I didn't have to worry about me dying from a car accident.

We lost our way to Eastwood after Alvin's car vanished in front of us. We had no idea how to get there. Janine has a rough sketch of where we were so she navigated while JP drove. They were arguing about taking the underpass or straight road, it was so funny. I just stayed silent at the back seat cause I have no idea where we were. We eventually got to Eastwood after much struggle. Getting there was one thing. Finding a parking space was another. We made a U-turn in a one-way lane, was forced to go back from where we started, before we finally found a parking area that wasn't full.

We had a late dinner/early breakfast at Something Fishy. The pancakes were yuuuum. We stayed there for a bit and took advantage of the eat-all-you-can promo for P 199. Although I didn't get to eat much cause we ate nachos at the bar. But the guys were stuffed. I think they went back two, three times. Haha.

We left there around half past three. JP drove me and Janine home. Janine and Via were staying over at our place but they left early the next morning. I, on the other hand, woke up mid-afternoon. Haha. I was totally wasted from drinking less than a glass of Shirley temple.

I'm looking forward to another fun night out.

There She Is

I'm addicted to the flash animation There She Is. 

I thought it was weird at first, what with all the bunny-cat love, but it's awesome once you got the point of the whole animation. It's a conversation-less story so it was confusing when i started watching it but i totally loved it halfway through the first clip. Haha.

And the songs were great, too. I can't help but watch it over and over and over again.

DokiNAbi is LOVE. 

Not in the Mood

i'm bordering the lines of being pissed off. i caught myself snapping a while ago and i'm really getting there.

i don't know why i'm suddenly in such a foul mood.

maybe because the fact that i've already wasted so much time is slowly sinking in.

that, and maybe beacuse i can't do anything because i don't have my notebook with me yet.

sigh. this is ridiculous.

and i absolutely hate it when people force me to do something when i don't feel like doing anything. can't they just fucking take NO for an answer?? ugh.

and then they're gonna start telling me that i'm this and that. what the hell... but whatever, i just don't care about anything right now.

okay, i've cooled off for a bit. i didn't want to go with them cause even though i'd slightly feel better, i'd just feel even more frustrated afterwards cause i wasted even more time. if there's one thing in my course that i've learned, it's that you can't slack off whenever you feel like it. when you're free, read a book or two. force your brain to understand things that are way beyond your level.

it's time that i need and i'm losing it by the second.

i don't mean to be bitchy but i'm just not in the mood to do anything fun right now.

Naruto Blues II

I feel so depressed right now.

I wanted to write a fic so badly. I just want to write something not school-related. I've always hated doing lab reports. And seeing that I have two lab classes this semester, the urge for writing a fic gets so much stronger.

But now that my beloved folder is gone, I'm just not in the mood to write one even though I reaaaally wanted to. Sigh. 

And the lack of Naruto manga update is not helping. I'm out of my drugs (i'm referring to Naruto, durr). It's been too long since the last update. I can't wait much longer. The suspense is killing me. I really want to know what happens next. And according to some spoiler I've read, his royal bastard-ness Uchiha Sasuke is back in town. 

Well... i hope the next chapter comes out soon. 

The World is Messed Up Like That

Mood:
my files are gone... as in, totally GONE! deleted. vanished. prolly corrupted. gone.

i hate this...

of all the folders that could have been deleted in my laptop, it had to be my personal folder. the very folder that contains all my rants and ramblings. my fics. everything.

i would have preferred it more if my entire folder of pictures and songs were deleted instead.

but nooooo, it just had to be my precious folder. TT_TT

it was very personal. it had stuffs i never dared told anybody. things i've written when i'm feeling down or insanely happy. and the fics... i know they weren't that good but they were special to me. i wrote them. they were my stories.

it's unfair. with all this school-related shit i'm going through, that was my only therapy. my own form of escapism. and to suddenly cut me off from that alternate universe, it just feels so bad. like i'm being trapped somewhere that i don't want to be in.

i don't know what i want most of the time. i don't know what i'm supposed to be holding on to. but this is something i don't want to let go of. i feel like i'd go crazy if i let go of this. that was the only thing that is keeping me sane right now.

i'm trying to convince myself that it was gone for a reason. maybe it is time to let go... karin told me that maybe something better will come out of that. that maybe it was really time to let go of it and start something different. something better.

but i don't know... i've thought of this a lot before. i've thought of when i'd finally face reality without relying so much on fiction to keep me sane. sometimes, i don't even know what's real and what's not anymore... and most of the time, i don't even want to know. i'm selfish like that.

sigh. i'm starting to feel numb already... after crying over that lost folder, i'm not feeling anything anymore. i just don't want to think about it. at least not for the time being...

Tired

Mood: 

I am tired.

In every sense that word can have.

Footsteps

Mood:(freaked out)

I'm all alone in our condo unit and I'm hearing weird footsteps upstairs.

I mean, come on! I shouldn't be hearing any sound from upstairs considering that their floor (our ceiling) is supposed to be thick up to some degree in which we should only be hearing minimal noise, if not none at all.

And it's not only footsteps (more like stomping, if you ask me) i hear. Sometimes there's this tapping and dragging of chair, too. ><

I'm trying to take comfort at the idea that someone is occupying the flat upstairs. I will freak out for real if i find out that there's no one staying there. Please, spare me.

I hope my loud playing of music will drown off those weird sounds. Now, back to much-ignored schoolwork.

Calvin and Hobbes

Mood:

I'm currently addicted to Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. I've always loved reading those comic strips on newspapers but i haven't had access to newspapers for years now so i really missed reading those.

It never fails to cheer me up. Unlike other comic strips, it actually does make sense with just a couple of frames. I think it's the best one out there. Kudos to the artist, Bill Waterson.

Here's a link to 25 of awesome Calvin and Hobbes Strips. Enjoy.
