ToyCon 2009

2009-06-16T12:02:00.006+08:00

Last June 13-14, I went to the 8th Philippine Toys, Hobbies & Collectibles Convention that was held at Megamall.

June 13:

I arrived around 3pm at the venue. Didn't catch much sleep so I wasn't feeling very well that day. I just went straight to the sound booth to meet up with Ronald Guanzon and Pete. Then I went to the Bayan Knights booth to buy the 2nd issue of their comics. After that we saw another friend of mine who went to the convention. Watched the individual Cosplay Competition for a while before we went outside to see other cosplayers (and maybe breathe because it was just too crowded inside the venue). I was surprised when I saw Carmina Topacio there. If you don't know her, she has a youtube account where she covers songs from famous artists. Too bad I didn't have the cam. And I didn't muster enough courage to approach her *sob*. Met up with my other friends and chatted for a while before going home at around 9pm.

June 14:

Arrived at around 4pm (still not feeling good). Again I went straight to the sound booth to meet up with Ronald Guanzon. We fetched Alodia Gosiengfiao and we became her temporary bodyguards. I was also able to meet some plurk buddies of mine during that time. Watched the Group Cosplay Competition, Fashion Design I was surprised when The Chongkeys performed at the event. I didn't know that they we're going to play there. They played for about 30 mins. I wasn't surprised that the people there liked their music because they're really good. Prolly the best band that performed there. Met up with Kel (ToyCon's Host) and chatted with him for a while when he wasn't on the stage hosting. Saw Renie, Jaypee and Levy before the event ended. Went to Chowking EDSA to eat before finally going home at around 11pm.

Oh and I also met Patsy there (day 1)
We've met at last after being online buddies for almost a year now. LOL

Resurrection of the Jester

2009-05-21T19:07:00.002+08:00

Okay, this account has been inactive for a year now and I really thought that I would never write another entry. But here I am, back to the world of blogging.

I'm back! (so what?)

hmm. . . can't think of a title. . .

2008-09-13T19:15:00.002+08:00

well, I'm back after a very very long hiatus...

currently I am making a new layout for my blog... *wiggles pwet*

Under Construction until further notice...

Bakit mas masarap magsulat kapag. . .

2008-05-11T03:29:00.005+08:00

Bakit nga ba mas masarap magsulat kapag LASING, BANGAG o kaya naman PUYAT? Hindi ba dapat mas mahirapan kang mag-sulat dahil wala ka sa katinuan? Dahil walang normal na pumapasok sa isip mo?

Aking napag-tanto na mas mainam ngang mag-sulat kapag ikaw ay nasa ganitong kalagayan sapagkat kung anu-anong ka-weirduhan ang pumapasok sa iyong isipan. Dahil wala ka nang pakialam sa sasabihin sa'yo ng iba dahil meron ka namang maida-dahilan. At dahil sa mga lumalabas sa iyong mga sulat at dala lamang ng sobrang kabagutan sa mundo.

Katulad ko, habang sinusulat ko ito ay puyat na puyat na ako. Hindi ko malaman kung bakit hindi ako makatulog. Pero ito ang mga tanong na dumadaloy ngayon sa isip ko.

1. Paano kaya kung hindi na-imbento ang pera?
Hindi ba't parang mas magiging maganda ang mundo kapag walang pera? Isipin niyo. Kung walang pera, walang mag-hihirap. Lahat ng tao magiging masaya sapagkat magagawa nila ang mga bagay na gusto nilang gawin. Mas magiging simple ang pamumuhay. Magiging libre lahat ng bagay sa mundo. Walang magiging gahaman.

Sagot:
Oo nga at walang maghihirap kapag walang pera. Pero ang tanong naman doon ay, "Paano naman uunlad ang tao kapag walang pera?" Hindi ba? Wala nang mag-iimbento ng mga kung anu-anong kaek-ekan sa mundo kapag walang pera dahil wala namang mapapala kung gawin nila ito o hindi.

2. Bakit kaya hindi pareho ang halaga ng piso at dolyar?
Hindi ba't pareho lamang silang papel? Bakit mag-kaiba ang halaga?

Sagot:
Pareho nga silang papel pero iba naman ang nilalaman. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay iba ang sangkap. Hahaha. Ano un? Pagkain?

Hindi ko na ilalathala ung iba sapagkat sobrang pagka-weirdo na ang mga iyon. Puro tungkol sa pera, politika at kung anu-ano pang nangyayari sa bansa ang napapag-isipan ko. Hindi ko naman malaman kung bakit ganun ang mga naiisip ko ngayon.

Pero kung susumahin, halos lahat ng mga magagaling na manunulat ay wala sa tamang pag-iisip o wisyo kapag sinusulat nila ang kani-kanilang mga obra maestra. Pero hindi natin maipagkakaila na minsan, mas matitino pang mga bagay ang pumapasok sa isip natin kapag wala tayo sa katinuan. Katulad ko. Kaya lang, pulos kalokohan pa rin ang pumapasok sa isip ko nasa katinuan man o hindi.

Hindi ko alam kung maiintindihan niyo itong koreo kong ito. Dahil kahit ako mismo ay hindi ko maintindihan ang mga isinusulat ko. Nilalagay ko lamang ang lahat ng bagay na pumapasok sa isip ko. Nasa paksa man ito o hindi. Bahala na kayo! Basta ang masasabi ko. . .

WALA NA AKO SA KATINUAN! PUYAT NA PUYAT NA AKO!

Sarcasm at its Best

2008-04-28T02:32:00.002+08:00

WARNING! PLEASE READ THE TITLE FIRST BEFORE CONTINUING!

Last week, I celebrated my 19th birthday. Yep, I'm now officially 19 years old. I never really celebrated my birthday these past few years. But last week was different. Really different. It was the best day of my life!

I woke up around 5:30am on my birthday. After that I went straight to my bathroom and took a bath. Then, without eating breakfast, I went to church, heard a mass, then went straight back home. I slept and slept and slept and slept. I didn't remember eating anything at all on my birthday. Maybe I ate, or maybe not. Who cares? Well, not me.

Besides sleeping, I never did anything else but to text some of those people who remembered my birthday even though I didn't announce it. (oh really?)

But the best part of my birthday is when my most important friends didn't greet me at all. I felt so happy back then. Only my best friend Maureen greeted me. Even the most special person in my life forgot it was my birthday and I had to remind her(what's up with that?). I really felt happy!

After that, I went back to my room, looked at my desktop computer and then slept again. Because I was really REALLY happy, I wished that when I wake up, my birthday is already at it's end. Sabi ko nga, "Sana pag-gising ko, April 22 na!"

Guess what. It didn't come true. I WAS REALLY HAPPY!

I was really really happy when I celebrated my birthday! It was the best day of my life!

TO THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING... PLEASE READ THE TITLE...

Things I've learned on my birthday:
1. Don't expect too much, you might get hurt.
2. Sleeping for 1 whole day causes severe back pain.
3. Don't plan anything.
4. Good friends don't remember your birthday.
5. MY 19TH BIRTHDAY SUCKS!

Nalalapit na Kaarawan

2008-04-14T00:56:00.003+08:00

Dahil sa hindi malamang kadahilanan, napag-isipan ko naman na gumawa ng tagalog na koreo dito sa aking mumunting lugar.

Wala lang. Naisip ko lang. Nakaka-inggit kasi ung mga taong tagalog ang kanilang mga nailathala sa kanilang sari-sariling lugar. Akala niyo kayo lang ang marunong mag-tagalog? Ako din! Marunong din naman ako kahit papano.

Isang linggo na lamang at sasapit na ang aking kaarawan. Pero sa hindi malamang kadahilanan, parang, ayaw ko itong dumating. Ayaw kong sumapit ang aking kaarawan. Ang gulo no? Sarili kong kaarawan, ayaw kong dumating. "Bakit kaya?" Ito ang tanong na bumubulabog sa aking isipan.

Naaalala ko ang mensahe sakin ni Marion(isang kaibigan) na bakit daw siya, kahit walang plano sa kanyang kaarawan ay gustung-gusto na niyang dumating ito. "Bakit nga ba?" Natanong ko nanaman sa sarili ko.

Siguro dahil din ito sa mga naranasan ko noong iba ko pang kaarawan. Kadalasan kasi, pag sumasapit ang aking araw ay nasa bahay lamang ako at nag-iisa. Oo, nag-iisa, sapagkat ang aking pamilya ay umaalis nang bahay kapag kaarawan ko. Astig di'ba? Kaarawan ko pero sila ang nagsa-saya.

Sa totoo lang, simula nang ako'y magka-isip, ay wala na akong maalalang masayang alaala sa aking kaarawan. Siguro noong isang taon na ang pinaka-masaya kong kaarawan na naaalala. Ito ay sa kadahilanang, kahit papaano ay sinorpresa ako ng aking mga kapamilya sa YFC habang kami ay nagpa-plano para sa Youth Camp noong taon na iyon. Pero bukod doon, wala na ata. Wala na akong kaarawan na naging masaya. Hay, tama ba namang mag-EMO ako ngayong malapit na ang kaarawan ko.

Isa pa din sigurong kadahilanan ay dahil hindi pa sigurado ang taong gusto kong makasama sa aking kaarawan. Tinanong niya ako kani-kanina lamang. "Pano kung di ako payagan?" Paano nga kaya? Ano kayang mangyayari sa akin? Ano kaya ang gagawin ko? Ewan! Hindi ko alam! Bahala na si Batman kung anong mangyayari. Ipag-darasal ko nalamang na payagan siya para maging masaya naman ang araw ko.

Binabati ko nga pala ng maligayang bati si Marion Janine Azurin. Kaarawan na niya bukas.

Binabati ko din ng maligayang unang buwan sina Jhek at Khreez ngayong ika-14 ng Abril taong 2008.

Goodbye HitFM and HitSquad

2008-03-22T02:44:00.008+08:00

March 19, 2008
Saturday

The last day of 99.5 HitFM. Well, I loved HitFM and it's hard to accept it but they are already gone. It will be 99.5 Campus Radio from now on. And in addition to that, my favorite DJ's are also gone. They already joined other stations. HitFM is very memorable to me because it is the only Radio Station that I listen to almost 18 hours a day, everyday.

HitFM is where I met DJ's Tracy, Tin, Kelly, David, Lellie, Migz with a Z, and of course, the BrewRATS. DJ Ramon, Angel and Tado.

Please help us save the BrewRATS show.

Sign the f'in Petition and Save the
BrewRATS!!!

We are in a great battle right now and
we need to fight for our government,
the
Save the BrewRATS!!!

Sign the Petition and Save the
BrewRATS!!!!
SAVE THE BREWRATS!
It will only take 5 minutes of your
time
to save the show!!!! Salamat!

The best Radio Station for me, gone, though it's pretty hard to believe it. But hey, life goes on. But I know that there will never be another station like.

99.5 HitFM
Today's Last Hottest Hits

They say this is what my birthday means.

April 21.

You are curious and a true follower. You can please someone so much that it seem like you are trying to charm that person. You hide your disagreement under your smiling face. This is a charming quality of yours. Your Love, You are quite unlucky in love. You are loved by someone you don't like while your dream person is so far away. Your love life is occasionally under turbulence. Sometimes you don't have the clear view of the gal in your heart.

hmm. Now I wonder if this is what my birthday means. And when I think about it. I realize that this is somewhat true. It's true that sometimes people think that I am already charming a person eventhough the truth is, I'm just trying to be nice.

It seems as though I can already see my strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:
Active and self-confident. Their thoughts and sense of humor render them quite popular.

Weaknesses:
They get obsessed with ideas and retire when problems grow increasingly serious.

I know that I am active and self-confident. I just don't know if I'm popular.

About my weakness. IT'S TRUE! IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE!

Going back to my traits. It's true that sometimes, maybe all the time, I just smile to hide my problems.

"MAS PINILI KONG MAGING MASAYA DAHIL MAS MADALING NGUMITI KAYSA IPALIWANAG KUNG BAKIT AKO MALUNGKOT"

Siguro ganito lang talaga ako. Medyo mahirap lang tanggapin pero totoo. Lalo na ung parte tungkol sa pag-ibig. Sa ngayong wala na akong GG(galunggong). Hindi ko alam kung sino ang may kasalanan. Ako ba o siya? Sige na nga, ako nalang ang may kasalanan para wala nang kaguluhan. Di'ba? Mag-papatalo nalang ako kaysa mag-aksaya ng oras sa pakikipag-talo at pakikipag-away sa gera na alam ko na namang wala akong pag-asang manalo.

"MUKHA BA AKONG MASAYA? O SADYANG BULAG KA LANG TALAGA?"

Siguro nga masaya ako. Masaya ako dahil napanood ko ang bandang "Incubus" kanina pero sa totoo lang, malungkot ako. Dahil habang nakikita ko ang mga taong masaya kasama ang kanilang mga minamahal ay nandoon lang ako at nakatayo na mag-isa. Maganda nga ang pwesto ko pero, mag-isa naman ako.

"PARA SAAN PA ANG MAGANDANG PWESTO MO? KUNG MAG-ISA KA RIN LANG!"

Kahit paborito ko ang bandang iyon ay di pa rin mawala sa isip ko ang aking pagiging malungkot dahil nga. . . wag nalang. . . Wala na naman akong magagawa eh. Nangyari na.

This post is dedicated to Kookoo and Fjords. My friends that are also my co-YFC members eventhough we're from different places and schools. They we're the ones who inspired me to write this post.

"MAINTINDIHAN NIYO KAYA ANG MAGULONG ISTORYANG ITO? KUNG HINDI, EDI WAG!"

The Fight is Over

2008-03-01T19:50:00.003+08:00

When the fighting is over
'Coz our mouths have just run dry
As our feelings get colder
There’s nothing to hold us now
Gave all this time just to be let down

Can you explain to me?
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
Not even pleading can save us

I know you’ll meet someone better
But would still think of me
If he can’t hold you like I did
Would you run back to me?
I know this pain shall pass
Gave all this time still we couldn’t last

Explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that were worth now
Not even pleading can save us

How did we end this way?
Our promises thrown away
All the years we built, broken up
See it crashing down
I have to say
Though alone in this crazy sea of faces
It’s still your face I wanna know

Explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that were worth now
Not even pleading can save us
Can’t save us now

The fighting is over
The fighting is over
The fighting is over
The fighting is over now

I guess it's really over. Well, that's life!

Move On! Let Go!

A Bum's Life

2008-02-28T23:49:00.000+08:00

Well I haven’t been doing anything progressive for some time now. I’ve been bumming around every single day. Well you can’t blame me. We’ve just finished our Midterm week so forgive me for spending some time to relax for a bit.

I’m not a bum(I think?). I just think that I have too much time in my hands. (well it’s because I’ve just shifted my course from BSECE to BSIT.) And my subjects this term are all minor ones. Maybe that’s the reason why I have too much time. And honestly, I think that my subjects are not that challenging. Who could blame me? I’ve been an ECE student for 3 years and compared to the subjects I have before, well, let’s just say I could relax now.

I’ve been alone in the house for 3 days now, and honestly, I LIKE IT! It’s because my mom went to Bohol with my sister and my brother went somewhere. And since I’m alone, no one would tell me what to do. I like it. This way I could get used to living my life as a bachelor. I’m officially a KATUGA (KAin, TUlog, GAla) these past 3 days. I’ve been doing nothing but to eat, sleep, watch TV, play computer games, and go to school(this is the “gala” part). But I also clean our house so that when my mom and brother comes back I wouldn’t get scolded and end up being grounded.

Ahh. This is the life! It feels like heaven! Too bad it ends today. Because my mom and brother are coming home today.

TANGINA MO ANDAMING NAGUGUTOM SA MUNDO, FASHIONISTA KA PA RIN - Radioactive Sago Project

2008-02-28T23:43:00.001+08:00

Radioactive Sago Project's third and latest album "Tanginamo Andaming Nagugutom Sa Mundo, Fashionista Ka Pa Rin" has a distinct effect on every listener not only due to the "UNIQUE" title but also for the songs included in the album. The band is popular because of their unique style which is always seen in their previous albums. Vocalist Lourd De Veyra calls his style of singing as "Spoken Word". Although the name of the album obviously talks about world issues, the band claims that the issues weren't their inspiration for this album. The band said that they were just returning to their musical influences or their so-called "Roots". The album includes the songs "Alak, Sugal, Kape, Babae, Kabaong", "Bisikleta", "For Adult's Only" and many more. If you're a Sago Fan, you should definitely get a copy of this album.

My Rating
Packaging: 8
Content: 8 (Although the songs are nonsense.I can relate to it.)

YFC - FEU - East Asia College’s Youth Camp 2008

2008-02-28T23:27:00.000+08:00

Last January 11-13, 2008, we held our 1st Youth Camp for the year. Well, who would have thought that we could facilitate a very successful Youth Camp even if we didn’t have enough time to prepare for it. Well honestly, I admit that I didn’t even attend the YCT (Youth Camp Training). So in short, I came to the camp unprepared. But it turned out to be that I was the one who is assigned to cook our food and at the same time, be the Music Min.

We encountered a lot of problems during the camp. But we didn’t lose hope. We knew that God wanted the camp to happen and he trusted us to be the Service Team in that camp. We knew that God will help us overcome the problems we had during the camp.

Let me just cite some of the problems we had there.

1. We arrived late at the venue that’s why we didn’t start the camp on time.

2. Only few attended the camp so we had a little problem facilitating. We had few Service Team.

3. A big factor. MONEY.

It’s really true that God works in mysterious ways because even if we weren’t that prepared we still did a good job. (I think.)

Congratulations to the New Babies of YFC - FEU - East Asia College!

Welcome to my little corner in the big world of the net.

I've recently moved out of wordpress and went to blogspot because there are somethings that are not applicable in wordpress.

Well, to tell the truth I have never considered blogging even until now.

But circumstances change. Everthing does. It just seems like I have too much time in my hands.

So I made this blog to, well, I have no reason really. But I hope that you will be entertained in reading things that are out of this world.
