ERASERHEADS ONE NIGHT ONLY

This just in: I AM OFFICIALLY A CAVEMAN.

Wasn't it around 5 to 6 years ago when I was that puny little rock chick in cargo pants, red Chucks and a shirt that says "FUCK OFF" moshpittin' and slammin' in Amoranto stadium? Or maybe just rockin' out and possibly getting buzzed at Purple Haze or Mayric's? Wasn't it then that I knew every date and place where the hottest gigs would be? Let me get straight to my very frustrating point. How in fuck's name can I not have known about the ERASERHEADS ONE NIGHT ONLY?

Ohh maaaaan. I have been dreaming about the possibility of this reunion since I was, what..7 or 8 years old. Gahh! Eraserheads, the most prominent Pinoy rock band of the 90's, will always have this special place in my heart. I can't stop cringing and screwing my face up at the thought of this.

ERASERHEADS ONE NIGHT ONLY

Eraserheads, one of the most successful and critically-acclaimed bands in the history of the Philippines music industry, has decided to get back together for one night only and relive the music and the moments. The band, composed of Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan, will be playing at Bonifacio Global City Open Field on August 30, 2008.

Here's the original post about it straight from OdysseyLive.Net :

August 27, 2008 Wednesday 5:46pm

A couple of minutes ago i got a message saying information that made me jump out of my seat! It said that another company has taken over the show of the Eraserheads reunion concert and that ticket prices have been changed to P800 and P1300! Immediately i made the call to the people in charge to find out if these reports were true...indeed they are!!!

Radiohead Media Solutions, Inc. announces the acquisition of the concert rights to the much awaited one-night-only Eraserheads reunion this coming Saturday, 30 August 2008. The Reunion is to be slated at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field. Brought to you by Radiohead Media Solutions, Inc. In cooperation with SonyBMG Music Entertainment Phil., Inc.

It has officially been confirmed that the Eraserheads One Night only Reunion concert has been taken over by Radiohead Media Solutions! After Marlboro pulled out, it seems like they took on the responsibility of doing the show and giving the fans what they want!!! Not only that, but ticket prices are also now at P800 and P1300. Tickets will be sold at ticketworld starting august 28 and you can call them for inquiries at 891-9999.

I know im the first one to release this info and many of you may not believe me but this news comes directly from a few very reliable sources!!! Believe it or not!!!

I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this..but don't we all wish that Eraserheads would just get back together for good and not just for one night?

I'm still distraught over this piece of news. I can't believe this is news to me. I'm probably the lamest person in Eheads' fanbase. Where have I been hiding, under a rock? I can't stop shaking my head.

Well obviously I won't be able to go to this concert since we will be celebrating Iris' birthday this August 30 as well...Well, cheers to this though. I might've came accross it REAL late. But this is awesome. And i will be drinking to this tomorrow night while I'm dancing it away on the dancefloor instead of rockin it in Global City. 23 Hours and Counting..and i am sitting here just wishing.

"Mom and I" Moments

One of my talents, probably like any other stereotyped woman, would be talking and arguing. What can I say I'm a "people person". I remember during my younger years, around 5 or 6 years old probably, I would already be able to converse with people twice or thrice my age. :) I remember finding other kids unusually dumb, and them finding me unusually maverick and loquacious. And then I started growing up and getting smarter, hence, developing my skill to not only argue but actually construct sound and better arguments. And eventually, almost mastering the skill to shut people up if they know what's good for them.

What used to be a talent, I can now call a skill. And skills are honed and perfected, you don't just acquire them. People ask, HOW? Well, it's simple. If you have a mom like mine--you either learn how to shut up or talk more. :D (I would put "talk back", but then that would sound disrespectful. They're healthy arguments.)

"The EVERY MORNING Conversation"

Before I leave the house for school..
Mom: Where are you going, to the mall?
Me: (I shut up and change what I'm wearing.)
Mom: Why won't you wear rubber shoes?
Me: RIIIGHT. I'm not wearing rubber shoes to school.
Mom: Edi basta wag ka lang mag-tsinelas! (Then just don't wear slippers!)
Me: Flip-flops! You bought them. HA-VA-IANAS!
Mom: They're 1000 pesos slippers! Tsinelas pa rin yan! (They're still slippers!)
Dad: (covers his ears) nanananananana..

In the car, nearing school..
Mom: See, look at that girl, she's wearing shirts, jeans and sneakers.
Me: She's a walking fashion disaster. I want to look better than that.
Mom: At least hindi nakasilip mga daliri niya sa paa. (At least her toes aren't peeking out.) It looks better.
Me: (SIGHS LOUDLY)
Mom: Kita mo? You're the only one wearing slippers.
(And then a large group of students exit the building, majority wearing flip-flops.)
Me: WOOOOOW! I am the only one wearing slippers!
Dad: (SIGHS LOUDLY)

Oh man.
We have so much arguments, I was thinking of them awhile ago but then I can't remember them now. I'll update this post later on. :)

But I love my mom so much. She's like my bestfriend and my sister. She's given me so much and the truth of the matter is, even if I hide things from her, I can really tell her everything. I just choose not to. Even if I know she'd understand. But eventually, I usually end up telling her what's bothering me. It's just that there are times I just want her to listen but she won't shut up. Haha. The truth stings, especially when it comes from her. But then again, that's what moms are for.

"We're VERY OPEN to each other..."

Around 2am in the morning before we sleep...
(We were talking about a lot of things before this..)
Mom: Do you cut class?
Me: Sometimes...
Mom: Do you go drinking?
Me: Sometimes...
Mom: Do you smoke?
Me: (Really long pause.) Sometimes.....
Mom: Gusto mo ng batok? (Do you want me to hit you?)
Me: Um, sometimes...?
(Laugh Laugh Laugh)

Another part of that conversation...
(This time i decide not to share. Too delicate. Haha)
Mom: So do you like anyone?
Me: Nope.
Mom: Really? Crushes?
Me: Nope. Nope. Wala.
Mom: Is anyone courting you?
Me: No one.
Mom: Really? Like you? Have a crush on you?
Me: There's really none at all. NADA.
Mom: Hmmm..maybe because you have the "Touch-Me-Not" thing going on.
Me: WHAT?! Ano?
Mom: Yeah, you're so mataray (snobbish). I bet they're intimidated to go near you.
Me: WHAAAAT? No kaya.
Mom: Yup kaya.
Hahaha! Laugh Laugh. :p

"But I worry, HER AGE is showing!"
But then like I said, I eventually end up telling her.
Still the same conversation. i end up telling her about this guy I llike.
Me: He's so cute. And he's soooo hot.
Mom: Aww, but he doesn't know you?
Me: What? Of course he does.
Mom: Does he like you?
Me: I'm pretty sure he does.
Mom: What? And how would you know?
Me: Because he's hitting on me. So was hitting on me.
Mom: What? Ano? He HITS you?!?
Me: NOO! Hahahaha. No. Flirting, mom. Flirtingggg.
Mom: Ohhhh...


Haha. See. I love my mom. I ♥ her sooo much. LMAO.
Good times..good times.

My "Foggy Bottom" Friends

OH MY GOSH. I WAS BROWSING THROUGH SOME OLD PHOTOS...
AND I FOUND THIS!

I mean, it's not like I haven't seen this pic in forever. But.. this time that I saw it, it felt different. It's like.. WHERE DID THE TIMES GO?

We all look so young in this picture. I mean, it's just in this picture that we all look like this. We look like elementary girls, jeeez. But it's all right. It brings back a lot of sentiment with it. :) Those were the days when there was still the "cyber lounge" in Southville and the Smokey stand! And who could forget how addicted some if not most us were on those damn corndogs. Ahh, yes. That's what I really miss..the corndog. LOL.

Before I transferred to Southville, I had other friends. With the exception of Joanne and Jamie, I guess as good chums as my former friends were..they were all fleeting and temporary. Oh they were great drinking buddies, and fun to be with no doubt about that at all. Some I could even call true friends, or at least had the potential to be. But then, since they're now part of my old life..I guess never can tell. But with these girls...I swear it, I will never turn my back on them.



I mean, seriously? If you don't already know this about me, I have a biiig tendency to become sort of a loner. Before, I'd actually survive without much contact from the outside world. I wouldn't mind so much to text my friends and people, ask them how the hell they're doing or just a plain ol' "Hello". (note: these were pre-Southville times) But then I made new friends, and met these wonderful girls and as different as I was from them, we managed to get along great. And I guess what I got out of meeting them was more than friendship that's to be cherished but they taught me how to be open, and warm-er. They sort of brought out the life in me, that was already slowly being drained out of me then. And I kid you not. I exaggerate not.

I've met a lot of colorful people in life. Yes, a lot more colorful than my friends. But as I would soon realize later on, colorful people were not what I needed. Colorful people tend to be...temporary. Fleeting and temporary, as what I said earlier. There were a lot of times that I was with people so colorful, and my world was bombarded with so much colors...I started seeing black and white. Turns out is that some cliches really are true, in this case "too much of anything is never really a good thing" (or however that line goes).

Moving into a new group of friends horrified me. And I dreaded meeting these new people. What it felt like to me was that I was moving out of glamourville New York or Paris and into some obscure suburb called "Foggy Bottom" or "Blow-Me-Down" Valley. Paris would be my Manila friends, the ones who I had non-stop rockin and rollin and paintin-the-town-red with. True enough, my Manila friends would be the catwalkin' Parisians/New Yorkers who would easily stab you in the back for fortune and fame. And my "Foggy Bottom" people would be these ladies who would teach me about home and friendship and all things huggable and fuzzy. (And all the same still rock n roll n crunk out with! :D )

I know the analogies are too much. But I just can't help it. I don't want to write down things such as "they taught me how to be a better person". It just doesn't work that way. There are so many angles to it that analogies are the best way to go. :p

I just finished re-reading my post. Amazing. I managed to talk about missing corndogs and somehow I stirred my way down into memory lane. So as much as I'd want to get into details of the warm and the fuzz and the shizzles, I won't for now. Maybe I'll save it for another post. Or maybe I'll just keep it to myself.

My "Foggy Bottom" friends...ah, love. They're like the sisters I never had. :) They kept my crayola box intact and my coloring book still wonderfully colored. They keep me from taking out too much crayons I won't really need and just end up coloring my book ugly or worse, end up losing my crayons (oh no!). :D

Eeep. So here's a shout out to ma beautiful ladies I love so much:

IRIS JANNA GIA ULA LORA
TRISHA JENELLE MAYUMI

Shocked. Amused. Appalled.

I don't have the whole back story on this, so forgive me if I get some details wrong. But I am seriously shocked, amused and appalled... Haha.

Let's start off with a pretty picture. :)

What is she wearing? No, she's not a girl scout master. :)
It's SISC's ALL-NEW I.B. UNIFORM!

Sooo..how do I say this?
Shocked. Appalled. Amused.

"SHOCKED!"

The uniform is...Oh God! If A.I.'s Simon Cowell was a judge, he'd probably say something like "You look you're wearing something you picked out from your grandmother's closet." Yes, complete with the British accent and that smirk on his face. Or maybe he'd say something like, "That is probably the most awful outfit I've ever seen. Horrible. It's a complete disaster." Or maybe Fab Five's Carson Cresley would just look absolutely mortified and whisper to the I.B. uniform, "Hold on! Mommy's gonna send for help. You stay right there."


On a more serious note, the uniform is pretty disappointing. I can imagine the I.B. students all huddled up together, crossing the street and some kid in a car would just point at them and say, "Look Mommy! A forest!". :|

The colors totally clash. I mean, as ifmint green isn't bad enough. Apparently it's not, they just had to pair it up with khakis. Oh wait, I forgot. It's a SKORT.

SOMEONE GO GET THE FASHION POLICE! It's a fashion faux pas!! Eeeep.
Okay enough.

So yes, the new uniform shocked me. Let's move on.

"AMUSED."

The old uniform was so much better. I don't know why they decided to change it. But, whatever. If there's one thing I learned with the decision making that happens in Southville, sometimes you have to learn how to LET IT GO. And of course, somehow find yourself a detour and work your way around it. Shhhhh...

Anyway, since a new batch of I.B. students are coming in and expecting to be wearing the old uniform and instead got that uniform...well, I guess you can say that they have pretty strong opinions about it. Haha.

I'm not sure who else is going to be part of the I.B.-1 batch for academic year o8-09, but majority of them are Mayumi's group of friends. And needless to say, I find their barkada to be a colorful set of people. I'm not close to them, but I do find them very entertaining. And the few times that I've gone with them, I can say that they're great company.

So I was reading their comments in facebook, and let me tell you that I was laughing if not guffawing at the comments. Let me post some of em here for ya:

DIANNE YAP:
mayumi is this the new boys uniform? AHAHHAAHH

JUNICE SCHREIBER:
lets prepare our sticks with roasted marshmallows and our little lamp and backpacks... maybe we can even hire some flies para mas maganda props.

DIANNE YAP:
HIRE SOME FLIES???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA DUDEEEE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA YOU CATCH FLIES! YOU DON`T HIRE THEM!

MAYUMI NAOE:
i wanna hire a hitman. hehehehehe >:} to take out those fools who approved the design..

DIANNE YAP:
what`s a hitman

MAYUMI NAOE:
hahaha someone who is hired to take out people :)

JUNICE SCHREIBER:
haahhahahhahahhaaahhahhahhahaha

LOL. Amusing. Here's the link: Click hurrr.

"APPALLED!!"

I wouldn't call the uniform fugly. But if I had to wear it? Yes, I would complain. Not file a formal complain..or maybe I would've. But nevertheless, a few groans here and there. A few insults here and there. I can so imagine Iris and I dissing it if that was our uniform.

But imagine my shock when I heard that someone printed out the whole thing at Facebook and gave it to the Discipline Office. And then imagine my jaw drop when I heard that the Discipline Office is actually putting these kids under probation because of their comments. I can't believe that they would actually entertain something so trivial as this. It's very petty. I guess I can't blame the school for reprimanding them, but to actually say that they might be suspended because of this? I'm sorry now but that's just complete bullshit.

School has not even started and they're already giving a disciplinary case to them? What the shit is that? I'm not saying that just because school has not yet started that the rules don't have to be implemented. But what rules exactly are they breaking here? Sure they've been going, "I'm gonna kill whoever approved this design." They're nothing but a bunch of harmless complains, ridicules and banters from a couple of teenagers. I'd expect a more professional and mature response from the school.

I have a high respect for some of the authorities over at Southville. So let's not name names. But when I heard one personnel question one of the students about their love for the school, implying that because she has been dissing and insulting the poor choice of uniform design, then she must hate the school...I was like, Say That Again.

When I heard this, well..according to my good professor's words, "My Internal Bullshit Meter (IBM) just went totally haywire". Just because you dislike a part of something, doesn't mean you hate the whole. In the same logic that just because a student doesn't like the teacher doesn't mean that the student hates the subject or vice versa. In the same sense that just because someone hates the fact that she has a flat chest or a big nose doesn't mean that she hates herself. Because saying so would be a complete fallacy.

It's a bit disappointing. I shared this bit to my parents and they couldn't believe it either. According to them, "I can't believe na pinatulan pa nila yung ganong issue." Which is my point exactly. You can't go on pleasing everyone. And a lot of students in Southville hate the uniform anyway, the I.B. one and the normal one. But you can't go around hunting down these students who hate the uniform and then suspend them. Under what grounds? For hating the uniform, which they so smartly interpet as hating the school?

Jeez, what do we do then with the blue-blooded Ateneans who are stuck enrolled in De La Salle? Oh my god! Should DLSU suspend them too because at the all important DLSU v ADMU game they were sitting over at the Eagles' side and openly dissing La Salle? OF COURSE NOT. Oooh, big shocker there.

They are making a big issue out of nothing. And to whoever printed the conversation and gave it to the Discipline Office, I just want that person to know...that for someone who's studying in I.B. that was a really stupid and idiotic thing to do. Not only is it none of your business, but you could've done such a better job at addressing whatever problem you saw. I understand that you guys love Sir Andre a lot, and make no mistake that I look up to him and have such a high regard for him, but what you did makes you really stupid and insolent and a moron.

Lemme reply :]]

you people love secrets and mysteries dont you :))

well, to the one who asked, "Are you on drugs? Is that why you need to quit?"
NO I AM NOT ON DRUGS. Funny shit. Lol. I'm clean people. I've got enough highs to keep me flyy. I don't need drugs for that. Haha.

okay, second..why post about if i'm not going to share at all?
Well..because I need to organize my thoughts. And writing is the best way I can do that. It's more like..venting out and less on the sharing side. Uhh..and..yeah. Lol. But seriously? I think I have the right to my privacy and be discreet. :p

and to those who reacted.."what the fuck?!" "bitin ka!" "you're weird."
Weeeeellll....what can i say? Haha. Sorry. That's all I can say.


So i'll try not to post anything more about "that subject" and this will be the last of it. And I'd like to end it with two words. I've made my decision..and I hope it sticks.

I QUIT! :p

i'm strung out on..who? <3

Oooh.. i just realized that Closer was not the perfect song. LOL. Turns out it's another Ne-Yo song... Because of You is the more appropriate song. Haha!

Want to, but I can’t help it
I love the way it feels,
It’s got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I need it when I want it, I want it when I don’t
Tell myself I’ll stop everyday, knowin’ that I won't

I rode home with Janna today.. we were talking about my stuff and shit like that. I mean, these small talks are so repetitive and i've been telling her and complaining to her over and over and over. I love it that she doesn't mind. :p So I told her, somethin like this

Trish: Buti na lang I'm single...
Janna: Yeah kasi if not kawawa boyfriend mo.
Trish: No. I'm not like that if may commitment.
Janna: Yeah but it's not yet the right time. It's fun to be single.
(both of us pause)
Both: Yeahh...

Funny. But seriously, I won't be posting about this on a..uh, regular day. But I sort of need to organize my thoughts. I'm feeling all twisty mentally and maybe even a bit emotionally. But on the emotional note, it's nothing too serious. Just a couple of thoughts i'm playing with. A couple of possibilities i'm juggling around.

Oh dilemma. I need it when I want it, I want it when I don't. There's not a lot of choices there, huh? :p I'm tellin myself to stop, just like I did a couple of weeks ago, or months. But I know that's never gonna happen.

I got a problem an' I (don’t know what to do about it)
Even if I did, I don’t know if I would quit but I doubt it.
I’m Taken by the thought of it

When to quit? That's the problem. Most often, we gotta know when to pull back. We gotta know when enough is enough. In history, a lot of men, great and un-great, went down because they didn't know when it was time to turn around and quit. Or even if they knew it, they didn't do it anyway.

Ah.. ambition IS fatal. enemy to success. haha. But without the ambition in the first place, where would the drive be? Check me out, i'm on overdrive. Oh dear..INSATIABILITY is what i'm feeling.

Think of it ev'ry second
I can't get nothin' done
Only concern is the next time... I’m gonna get me some
'Know I should stay away from, 'cause it's no good for me
I try an' try but my obsession... won't let me leave

I can't get these thoughts out of my head. I'm prolly not making sense to anyone who reads this. Only Iris and Janna know what the shit is going on with me right now. I'm not making a big deal. It's not so much a problem as people might be thinking it is. It's actually very amusing. The situation's very light and humorous. And one day, imma be lookin back and imma remember and imma be like, good times good times eh. Hahaha!

Oh aside from Iris and Janna, another guy also knows. Haha. He doesn't know a lot of details though, but he knows the story in general. He doesn't know the specifics..like the names, the history, the places, the events, whatever. But needless, it was funny when I told him and he gave me his advice. He told me to not take anything less than what I deserve. It was helluh funny. Can't put the whole thing here, it's a dead giveaway. But i looooove it! Haha.

And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I’m so strung out on you
I can barely move

There's the addiction, yes. But oh..i'm so strung out on who. :p

Just a note, to anyone who's a someone...don't get worried okay. And no violent reactions. I know it sounds a bit, umm..like a real dilemma. But if I get my head straight and together and all that, there's no dilemma. Just a lot of thoughts and possibilities that I'm toying around with. :) And i just can't help but think about em. Since they're so damn possible! Haha. :D

spoiled. :/

i normally don't sound like this. so forgive forgive, if i sound like a spoiled unfeeling bitch. :-/ so shallow, too.


you know how they say you can't always get what you want? well, yeah. i've heard it.


but the thing is. when it comes to some things..SOME things, in particular..i always get what i want. even if i don't get it WHEN i want it. but rest assured, i HAVE to get it. it's a high. we all have our highs..this is one of mine.


i don't know when to pull away, or when to say no. ah, but don't we all? i don't know when the game's done..coz for me it ain't done, till i win. sigh. HAAAY!!


that's why i'm always in a dilemma when 'situation' comes. it drives me insane. i hate it. i don't go looking for these things to just happen to me, you know? but it doesn't change a thing now does it? i still end up finding myself in these situations. it still happens. and then, obssession..


like hell, it is.
i can't not have it..


kinda like do or die.
tough luck.

I WANT IT JUST BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN.

aw, i hate this feeling talaga.
i wish i could get down and specific to the details so i won't be rambling about some mambo jambo..but sorry folks, even a little info is already too much info. lols.

i have this thing with winning. it can't be helped. :) but haven't you ever had that feeling that you know you can have something, but there's just a teensy-bitsy bit of detail standing in your way. and from your point of view, it's not even that important at all. but nevertheless, we are given the choice to respect it and walk away. or just go for the gold anyway.


and maybe when i say go for the gold, i don't have any intention of keeping "it". maybe just spend a few days, enjoy and play with it. it has nothing at all to do with who owns it, just a matter of being able to have it coz you can..not coz you want it.


after all, that's the only reason you want it anyway, because you can. and when you're done with it, the shine and shimmer that seemed to attract you to it in the first place, is just a thing of the past...

(i'm adding this next part 7 hours after i originally posted this:)
i can't get any into any more detail.. you folks might find out what i'm talking about. lol. or WHO. :p curious friends, you will never know. LOL. someone's already asking me who. sorry, babe.

here's a song.. fits just right. (turn the music off at the right hand side of the page if ur gonna play this vid.)

Closer - Ne-Yo

this week. hangover week. <3

well, it's a saturday today. my head hurts.
let's a have a look-see what happened to me this week..

since my classes in dlsu are only from mondays to thursdays, you can imagine it going by pretty fast. oh but SIGH ..sometimes it doesn't seem to be fast enough. Just like any other teenager, one can't wait for the weekend to come fast enough. And for me, my weekend starts at thursday night. yea-yuhhh. hehe.

Oh dear, but this week. Since the flyyy july party last saturday... I drank sunday night. monday night. and then tuesday night. Hence going to school half-tipsy and uber hungover on a monday morning, a tuesday morning and a wednesday morning. Oh dearrrr.. talk about getting all crunked up.

I could try explaining why i've been drinking so much. And eating so much. And bumming so much. And later on I realized, gaining weight so much. But please, I'd rather not. Not because I don't need to explain myself, but because I don't have any explanation at all. Haha. I've been a little lost lately. And that's entirely another story. :)

tomorrow's another week. so when i sleep tonight..and wake up to a sunday. SIGHHH.
i hate waking up to sundays. and mondays.
