Cosplay and a Beat. :))

Just Shantal:

     I am alive again. :) They may say it's the end of the world but mine isn't over yet. I have to go cosplay on the 29th at Megamall. And now I have to finally cut my fringe to look like this:

     This one's the cut. (I do not own the picture.) Just a few slashes off this bunch of hair that I have and that's it. I just don't know if I have to color it to a lighter shade of brown or what.

     Here is the original character. Her name is Yuuki Kuran/Cross, a character from the anime Vampire Knight. She has this very long brown hair and awesome bangs. My hair isn't this long but I think what I have will be okay.

 

   This picture has the costume and almost the hair. I don't know if thin full bangs will work. I will soon print these pictures and show them to whoever will cut my hair .

Journalist:

     I have already cancelled our plan (my best friends and I) to go cosplaying on the 29th. But my professor in the subject Introduction to Journalism gave us our beats (the place/area assigned to a journalist to cover) and mine was in Megamall, where the cosplay will take place. And because it is so, I brought back the plan and now we're already preparing for it. That means, I should interview other cosplayers and make an article about it (or just a feature) for the midterms. That is, while I am cosplaying, myself . :))

Christmas is really right around the corner. :)

Just Shantal:

     My parents and I decided to go to Cubao, specifically around the Araneta Coliseum where there are what they call "Banchettes" which probably meant those food stalls at the parking lot. What we really went there for is the Christmas tree which appears to be so charming ..and so gigantic. It has all those long LED lights that look like falling rain. Just after we parked, we walked along the sidewalk and then saw that people seemed to be waiting for something and then a host on a stage started to count down. It turns out that we were lucky to be there just in time to see the fireworks display that only happens every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Today is a holiday since it's a Philippine hero, Andres Bonifacio's birthday, we had time to go there. 

     There were also those huge figures formed by Christmas lights. They were in the shapes of seahorses, fishes (specifically a clown fish), dolphins, and flowers. I saw a good view of this Gumamela flower-shaped figure of lights with the sight of the Araneta Coliseum name lights, along with the bridge connecting Farmers' Plaza and Gateway mall through the coliseum. 

     The food there was great even if they were the ordinary ones we'd see along the streets of Manila. There were the different meals with SInangag (fried rice) and itLOG (egg) with different viands to choose from that makes the "SILOG", like TAPa (dried meat) + SInangag + itLOG = TAPSILOG that they serve it in small styro bowls.

     After we ate, we walked around and saw that there were choirs onstage, they might be singing for a contest. As we walked, I saw this stall that had Korean Ice Cream, the same as the ones they sell in our cafeteria. I bought the cookies and cream-flavored ice cream that came in between two thin chiffon slices. We continued walking around as I ate, and then they bought ice cream from Dairy Queen. When they got theirs, we sat somewhere in front of the newly built entrance of the Araneta Coliseum. Just about when we finished our ice creams, someone told us that it was prohibited to sit on that gutter, and so we walked to the parking lot and went home.

     I really appreciate the fact that my dad took us here. The whole place was almost like Christmas town and the breeze is already cold. My mom and him thought about going back tomorrow night to see the other side of the place which also have their own "banchettes" and stalls that sell different lanterns. We'd also want to try riding the shuttle that goes around the area without charge. I enjoyed myself and that time that I didn't really want to end although my body was already starting to hurt.

May the spirit of Christmas come to you as early as possible. ^_^

Art Fair ! :D

Just Shantal:

     Me and my older cousin, Ate Katrina, went to an art fair that she told me about. I thought that when you say "art fair", it would be mostly full of paintings and stuff, but I would probably enjoy that as well. But when we went inside, there was a lot of stalls with things like accessories, personalized items, and recycled ones. They were amazing and I was glad that she brought me there.

     This ring has the Manila City Hall on it. I bought it because it is near Intramuros, where my university is, so I am so familiar with this place. I am glad that there is 23060 that promotes Philippine landmarks and puts them where people would actually appreciate them, too. I bought this adjustable ring for only 200 pesos, and it was totally worth it. :)

     The bracelet around the ring has a teapot, a French coin, a camera, a butterfly, and an Eiffel Tower charm on it so I really could't resist on buying it this afternoon. I bought it for only 120 pesos. I love it and I really would want to wear it everyday, but I'm very afraid to lose it.

     This is the only calling card I have left. I got this from a booth that sells cute plush hats and neko (cat) ears. I saw one kid in a blue shirt that bought Finn the Human's hat and green bag. I was really amused with the stuff from adventure time!!! They also had a Jake the Dog plush hat, and a reversible Jake-and-Finn backpack worth 1,500 pesos. I would really want that one. 

     I also saw a pair of canvass shoes that has Finn on the other shoe, and Jake on the other. It was worth 600 pesos so I m thinking of saving money for it so after two months and we go there again, I could buy it already. There was a large plushie of Beemo, Finn, and Marceline that costs 600 pesos each. They also have necklaces of handmade Jake the Dog and Marshall Lee pendants which were adorable.

                  I am certainly looking forward to the next time that the fair will be there again. :D

I learned Ordertaker!! :)

Musician:

     I tried to make a cover of Parokya ni Edgar's Ordertaker, featuring Kamikazee. Every time I'd try to record, there will be that noise outside, either it's an ice cream vendor, motorcycles, cars, buses that beep loudly, trucks, or a howling or barking of dogs that really disturbs. I hated that, I really wish my room was soundproof like in recording studios. Anyways, I only started learning this song late afternoon yesterday. I was really surprised that I learned it easily, in like.. 15 minutes? Then I carried on. This song is Filipino, everyone reading this should know. It's actually a parody of Chop Suey and Toxicity, as they say. But this song and the way to play it is awesome. At least I did something productive two days before my semestral break ends, coz tomorrow will be my first day of the second semester. Oh man, a new start, new subjects, new professors, probably new friends who are irregulars, and new long schedules. Anyway, I miss my org so much. I really wanna see them again and jam with them with this song. That will be rockin'. :)

"Pa-order, Pa-order!"

The second semester is coming!

Just Shantal:

     So yeah, the enrollment for the second semester of my first year in college is on the 5th and the first day's on the 10th. I don't even know how to enroll all by myself. I haven't tried yet, since this is my first year. They said it would be different than enrolling for the first time. Which means, the enrollment procedures that I will be encountering on the next semestral enrollments will be how my second semester enrollment will be. My mom wouldn't be with me on the 5th, and I don't know if I will be seeing a block mate of mine to talk to or ask assistance from. Maybe having friends in the college student council is really helpful. I befriended the auditor and the 1st year representative. They are really good people, though they are both guys. If I may not see someone else I know, I'd be lucky enough to find them not busy with anything so I could ask them.

     Reviewing my semestral break, it was not all productive. I just spent a lot of time and money going back and forth Quezon City and Bulacan alone. Good thing is, I haven't been in any accident YET. My boyfriend doesn't mind anyway. I just experienced washing a week load of clothes by myself, I went swimming with my best friend, and blogged. :) The PS2 was taken back by my cousin, but he did not ask permission from me to borrow my copy of Kingdom Hearts II, how dare he. As of now, I am looking forward to a photo shoot with my cousin themed "Wonderland". It also is a party so I think I'll enjoy, though I don't know anyone except for her in the party.

     It has almost been a week since I decided to deactivate my Facebook account to prevent myself from posting a lot of things and about how JM makes me feel lately. But just today, I activated it again but plan on deactivating it again very soon. I just wish my Sims Social isn't affected in doing so. But I guess I'll have to keep it this way because my cousin said she will communicate with me through Facebook of what I have to wear for the photo shoot, maybe. After that, I'll probably deactivate it already, but not for good.

     I also want to go shopping in Greenhills or in a thrift store to buy cute dresses or just pieces of clothing to match with anything. I have that gray Aeropostale hoodie in mind, and I want to buy it as soon as the second semester starts. Also, I want a beanie-type hat in Artwork. I just hope that everything I want to buy will be in my budgeted one-week allowance.

I have become a shoppaholic. Oh man, THAT IS NOT GOOD. >.<

Got back home.

Just Shantal:

     I went to Bulacan again on the 29th of October to see JM, of course. I have been experiencing a whole lot of disappointments lately. He was the first to say that he wanted to see me and go to my house, he asked permission to. I told him I'd be waiting but he said he wouldn't be coming anymore. It was natural and tolerable for me to be disappointed at that time coz  he said he was coming but can't because he and his family are going to a birthday party. I let the day pass without being with him, or seeing him, even. He also told me that the day after that, he wouldn't be able to come to my house, too, for a friend of his will be celebrating his birthday. I became kind of doubtful about that but figured out a way not to. Luckily, my best friend, Farrah, is coming over because we had plans to go swimming that day. We went on without JM and enjoyed a little.

     It was Wednesday, the 31st, Halloween, I asked him if he could go to my house even for that morning. He wasn't returning my texts so I decided to call him around noon and he said that he just woke up. That was rude, but I know he deserves sleep. Because of his "late awakening", he couldn't come anymore. That time was wasted. REALLY WASTED. Those three days that I spent staying in my house, waiting to be with him really went straight to waste. I kind of wished that I didn't go home anymore. Though I had some time with my best friend, JM's absence really left a hole inside me. I hate that feeling. It made me think that JM doesn't want to be with me anymore.

     Lately, I have been talking to my best friend, my cousin, and her ex (which by the way became my friend) telling them that I felt JM being cold. Some things about that matter have been settled with him. He told me that he was just busy. I also figured out that if I sought more attention, he'd lose his focus on a lot of things. It's just that I can't accept how much he's changed in a flash. It's like I've done something wrong for him to be like that. We are better now, but there is still that small of a doubt that he may be not that into me anymore. Just sayin'. If he doesn't change on being like this, then maybe there'll be no hope for us anymore.

Will I be forever alone though we are "together" ? </3

What have I done ?

Just Shantal:

     I was so depressed because I didn't feel that he loves me that much anymore. I know he does, but I JUST KNOW. I believe him when he says he does and I say that I love him back, too. I was too upset that I posted a lot of things on Facebook, though not that controversial about how I feel about him, he reacts as if I did. The other posts are not about him, maybe he just thought they were, but no, they were not. He then tells my "brother" Jasper that I tell bad things about him in my posts and that he hates them (or in that case, me). What have I done worse than that against him? I know, I love him, that never changes, but I assume he does, too, in the same way. I appreciate the things he sacrifices for me. But I still expect that little effort from him to initiate.I feel that I am always the one who makes the first step forward, and he just follows. Meaning, if I don't start, he wouldn't. 

    I'm quite guilty, though. Guilty because I have been hurting him lately. Well, maybe. I just wish this situation doesn't affect me that much anymore, so I wouldn't post things like that, and he wouldn't be mad at me. When he gets mad at me for what I did for what he did (or didn't do), the situation becomes upside down, and I'm the one who becomes guilty. I think that I can deal with that. I know he loves me, -end of story-. I hope this problem would soon be over and we'd be as sweet as before. I didn't do anything to make him change the way he treats me now, right? I just don't know what to do now. I can't even talk to him about this because I'm afraid that I could make it worse. And of this gets worse, there'll be less chance to fix "us"

     I love him, I just don't know what to do next. Or, I know that I should talk to him about this, but how can I do this without getting under? I am kind of hoping that we could still be attached to each other as the way we were before. I started reading his messages that I saved, it all said "I love you too" or "love you too". There's always that "too". There are less than five of those messages that he told me he loved me first. I didn't tell him those three words for almost two weeks, waiting for him to tell that to me at least ONCE. But he didn't, and I couldn't hold those words inside me anymore, so I looked for a way to tell him that so he may at least notice what I was trying to say. I told him, "Mahal mo ba ko ?" ("Do you love me?"), he said yes and then there, I found my cue to tell him that I did too by saying "I love you too!". At least in that way, he sort of is the one who initiated. I thought it was a pretty smart idea. But still, he didn't get what I wanted from him. I also told him that I intended not to tell him those words, but I did because I was worried he'd think that I didn't love him anymore and that I was being cold to him.

     I just hope all of these problems be solved in a way that not one of us gets hurt. >.<

E is for effort.

Just Shantal:

     I went home to Bulacan yesterday. My main reason was to see JM, of course, but I had to attend the Living Rosary practice of the students, including him, so I supposed that he'll be there. When I came to the school, I wasn't really expecting a warm welcome from him. Later on, Farrah, my best friend, told me that JM's not there and that maybe he'd come back to school around 3pm. I texted JM if he'd come back at all but he said he would if I was there. I finally told him I was there and he barely believed it so I called him. We talked and he said he went somewhere with his dad and that he's not coming back for practice. I texted him again saying that I miss him so much and that it's such a great loss that we wouldn't be able to be together. He asked me why I didn't tell him that I would be showing up, I told him that I wanted to SURPRISE him. He answered that every time I planned on surprising him, I was in the wrong timing. I DIDN'T KNOW. I also didn't want him to be assured that I will be going there coz I don't know if there might be some emergencies or just happenings that wouldn't allow me to go, and he would be hurt if that happens. I didn't want to disappoint him. I now think of not surprising him, ever. At least I tried. My older "brother" Jasper told me that he had a talk with my boyfriend, asking him if he had spare time to go to Manila and surprise me. JM said he couldn't because he's going to be busy because of his periodical exams. I know I must understand that, but to think that JM said "effort" is not in his vocabulary, it made me upset. I know I couldn't do anything more about it. I guess I'll just continue on giving efforts for him, as I have always done. I won't wait for him to give anything in return anymore.

Still, I know he loves me, right ?

Self-studying music. :)

Musician:

     Today, I studied 'Unang Tikim' by Kamikazee. I haven't finished it yet, but I got the intro already. Gosh it really takes time to learn a new song. But I've got the motivation to continue the whole song. Then I'll be shredding in no time. I was actually planning on studying 'Master of Puppets' by Metallica to kind of impress my third cousin-slash-ex because when he told me that he plans on forming a band before, I wasn't that progressive yet. When I saw the tabs, they really look tough to play, but I'm sure I'll get it in no time if I put my hands on it and focus. 

Lots and lots of plans.

Just Shantal:

     This night when my dad came home (or just got up the house), he told me that the people that lived here before, which is my cousin and her mother. I suppose they will stay here for quite a while, that's why I can't show up at my alma mater (SMASN)  tomorrow to help in practicing the Marian Volunteers for the living rosary on the 25th. I really want to go home already, to JM's arms. :D

        

     I'm just kind of stuck here at the moment. I also need to wash clothes tomorrow. Mom said that dad told her that I could be paid for washing clothes. I am planning to buy the '50 shades of grey' book, I'm just intrigued with the line, "Laters, baby." .I really like how it sounds, but some people discourages me from reading it.

    Oh well, I'll still buy that, or if not, the 'Finale', the final book in the "Hush Hush" series of Becca Fitzpatrick. Or, I'll wait until I find a hardbound copy of 'Rapture', and 'Passion' (again, coz my copy's ruined by freaking termites) from the "Fallen" series of Lauren Kate. I want to be absorbed by a good novel again. :))

So much plans, so little time. :/

Crying because of a movie (kind of spoiler alert, though)

Just Shantal:

"A shoulder to sleep with."

                                --Emma Morley, One Day
                               (I really love this line of hers, it really made me laugh though I know this movie is tragic)

     I watched 'One Day' last night, featuring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. 

     I think I'm in love with the guy !!! Haha, I adore him, though. He rocked the young and the old image of his character. Just because Emma (Anne's character) died, it was so tragic, and I cried though I watched this for the third time already. I covered my eyes when I knew that she was going to be bumped by that bus while riding her bike. And her last voice mail to Dex (Jim's character) resounds in my head before I went to sleep. Maybe even now.. I loved their story, except for that tragic part. One Day reminds me of 'If Only' starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and this Paul Nicholls guy.

    The movie was about rewinding time that has been lost from them, or something like that. It's just that at first, the girl died but in the morning, when the guy woke up, he was surprised that the girl was alive and there in their place. The same things from yesterday happened in that day and the guy kinda slowly realized that he might have been given a second chance and he treated his girl extra special with him thinking that the girl is supposed to die by a certain time in the evening, just like what happened yesterday. (so now I'm a movie reviewer? :D) Anyway, he meets a cab driver that sort of tells him what to do and then when it was the evening, he was so scared that when the girl rides that certain cab, the side where she's in will be crashed by another car at an intersection, in that specific time. He then decides to go with her in the cab, him being on that side thinking that he would change what happened. It turns out that at that time, which was 11:00 pm, i think, and the same place, and the same car, the accident still happened, but he was the one who died. I'm supposing that he was given a chance to do everything he wanted for the girl and/or change the whole event and their misunderstanding in the restaurant the first evening. Sort of like preparing him on his last day. It was really sad, all it left me were memories that I'd like to cry with. But it's a very good movie, though.

     It's not really bad to cry because of a movie, it just gets into our emotion. And I'd really appreciate guys who are willing to watch chick/sweet flicks with me. :D It may be unusual, but IT'S NOT GAY, okay? Guys like that will make girls think that she has him to cry on and cuddle with while watching it. Watching those kinds of movies with the guy I love really makes me happy. It's like a girl wants the guy to know what to do if at some times their lives seem like the movie they watched. I just like it being like that, girls sure agree. :3

Guys should probably start watching chick flicks, too.

So they know what to do for the best, for them and their other halves. <3

Hello, Semestral Break !! :D

Just Shantal:

     I just came home about an hour and a half ago from school and my final exams are over. Oyeaaaaaa !!! It's the epic semestral break !! My first almost-one-month-semestral-break! While I was in high school, the break only lasts for a week. This time, after breaks, I'd need to enroll myself to the second sem. What to do ....

     I may be playing Kingdom Hearts II coz I borrowed my cousin's PlayStation2, sweeeeeet. :D and post to my beloved blog.

     I'd also want to go to my hometown, to spend some sweet time with my BOYFRIEND, yeah I have a boyfriend and I am happy about that. :) His name is Jose Mari Magayanes, JM for short. Oyea, this pic is really upside down coz I took this while he was lying on my lap. <3 By then I may start posting to my other blog about me and him when I get new pictures of us together, but I'd still be using this one. :))

     CM has plans on going to Maragondon, Cavite for a team building-slash-outing for its members. Unfortunately, I wasn't given permission to join them. It would be on the 19th until the 20th, yes, overnight at the beach, I think. I mean, it's like the bestest thing that would give me such good memories with them but mom doesn't want  me to come. That's freaking evil. I know that parents just want to protect us from danger but for freakin' sake I'm already in college. They'd just make me miss a very important event.

     Anyways, I could probably suggest that you make a scrapbook this sem break if you have it. Just make your time productive as much as possible. Me and my other cousin plan on designing white sneakers with doodles and acrylic paint this coming weeks. By the second semester, I'd have new kicks to show off, it'd be fun to do, too. :)

Have a great semestral break. ^_^

Cirkulo Musikero, my family . c)))

Musician:

     In the first days of the first semester of my first year in college, I was busy signing up in organizations that caught my interest. I signed up in LPU LYCAJ (Lyceum of the Philippines University League of Young Communication Artists and Journalists) which is about making us students aware about the courses we chose and how to improve at it by means of conferences, talks from professionals, and seminars. I also saw a sign-up booth for this music organization so I did without being sure, I just didn't want to miss a chance to be involved and have fun in playing. Being a member required passing the audition, which I did and I am very proud to be in this org called 'Cirkulo Musikero'. They treat me as a member of their family and in CM, we are taught to use our chosen instrument and to play certain songs, or be comfortable in different genres. We bond, jam, and have fun when we have spare time. I am so happy to be one of them and to be with them for they are such nice people that you'd probably want to hang out with.

     This is the first event that I played in with them for our school. There were performers from the other campuses of LPU who danced and acted. Preparing for this event was so much fun, though this event made me so nervous, I was proud, too. CM, they are my family, definitely. :)) I just hope we'd stay like this forever, that even though our seniors graduate, we'd still be in touch and be as one. I'll sure stay with them until  I graduate, or maybe even then.

TIRA ! c)))

My Journalist side, to begin with.

Journalist:

     This is my first block, in my first year of college, and the first semester of the year. A-105 is the name of this block, although there are the irregular students, we still treat them the way we treat our block mates, they're like family, though sometimes I might not feel the love, but I know it's there. I thought these people would be hard to read, but they are almost just like me. Even if we have our own reasons of choosing this course, or being forced into it, for some of us, we still get along well and enjoy our lives as we did when we were in our own high school lives. We were the type of journalism students that meeting us along the corridors wouldn't make you uncomfortable with us because as the president of the student government said, we are the class of journalism that are not that serious, as in the type that all we think about are our studies and plain focus. We have fun, just so you know. Writing is not that hard when it is in your nature. Like this, I have just engaged in blog posting and now I'm addicted. I may sometimes think that posting is lame or what, but this is my passion and I think from now on, I will be enjoying this.

     People may say that I think taking this course is easy because I am still in the first semester, in other words, just the beginning and as we all know, the things in the beginning are easy, but as we go on, it will be hard and it will make us want to quit and regret ever starting. Though there are the threats to us future journalists, like the risks of death, imprisonment and stuff, we will continue this journey and achieve our goals despite the discouragements surrounding us. WE. WILL. PUSH. THROUGH. :D

     We took this photo at the garden of the National Press Club located in Intramuros, near our university. We went here to interview a journalist who works for a newspaper for our English project. My friend's dad works here so we had this limited resource in our hands. I admit that interviewing a person, or a professional, even, makes me very nervous, but in order to get that information, or tips for us students, I need to overcome that fear, so I kinda achieve what I was aiming for from an interview.

     This statement, I can say, is a Journalist's Swag . :D Not to boast, but what I'm saying is, we're not just Journalists and we're more than you could ever think we are. :))

     Our block was required to go to the Senate and listen to a hearing for our project in our politics subject. We were also required to make a reaction paper and attach a picture of us with our favorite senator. It was quite hard to commute to the Senate but we did it. What we heard was Senator Tito Sotto complaining about a blogger calling him a plagiarist for copying his statements from others, thus, drafting the 'Cyber-crime Law'. I didn't think that it would go this far. Anyways, we saw some other senators but some just showed up for the roll call and then left. We weren't able to take a picture with our chosen senators but we had a chance on this guy, the Senate President, who was very kind enough to let us, students, go inside his private office in which no media man is allowed. He was so kind that he allowed each of us to have our own turns having a picture with him with this huge official logo of the Senate. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. -redundant, I know.-

     If you think having opportunities like these is cool, then I tell you this, THESE are the perks of being a journalist. :D

My Musician side, to begin with.

Musician:

     I started playing guitar when I was in the 5th grade. I was just intrigued by that night when my dad brought an acoustic guitar home, but it was for mom. It was black and very light to carry. Days after that night, I noticed that my mom wasn't using it that much so I borrowed it and tried to learn playing it. I tried knowing the chords one by one, but when I asked my parents to teach me, the only one I learned was the G chord. From there, I thought they were too busy to teach me further so I kinda went on by myself. 

     I spent my time on the guitar after my afternoon classes until I knew a little bit more and had quite progress. The first song I learned to play was 'Hawak Kamay' by Yeng Constantino, using a song book. It had the basic chord set G-Em-D-C so I was able to work around it.

It didn't take long for me to have my own acoustic guitar. It was green, having a pick-up and was a bit heavier than my mother's.

     I continued studying it on my own and learned more songs until I was in high school. When I was in my 1st year, there was the 'Battle of the Bands' contest for the theme of the Nutrition Month event. My guy classmates in the first section signed up and got me as their rhythm guitarist, along with another guy named Leomar. The band was named Impulse, having two rhythm guitarists, one on the lead, a drummer, and two female vocalists. The vocalists and the drummer may have blown the performance, the seniors that time said that the guitarists were perfect. Impulse performed a song we composed with another classmate of ours who's not in the band. The song was about eating healthy and stuff. You may say it's lame, but we performed it to the tune of 'Your Guardian Angel' by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

     The band was a one-shot deal, and we never played again. Doesn't hurt, but those guys are pissing me off with that memory, they always make it look like I was the only one who wanted to join, and that I played bad but I know I didn't though we didn't win against seniors.

     I remember that guy named Cholo, who kinda broke both of the guitars we have. He accidentally removed the first string of my mom's guitar when I brought it to school. I think he was showing off, using power chords, strumming hard, and all to be able to remove that string. I'd be able to understand that back then if he apologized for doing so, but instead of doing that, he just put the guitar back to its case and didn't plan on telling me about it. But I caught him putting it back and I saw the broken string hanging out of the case while the guitar was not fully in its case. On our second year in high school, he was my classmate in the first section again, and during our school's intramurals, he used my guitar (the green one, the one that's really mine), without asking permission and he mocked me when I told him that he should have asked me to use it. I could not do anything more so I let him play, but what I couldn't take the most was when he was done playing, he lay it on a mono-bloc chair and it slipped down to the cement. I just saw my guitar lying on the side of the cement, with that large crack between the end of the fret board and the machine head. He didn't tell me that it happened and that it was his fault, and after years, he could not even have that humility borrowing my mom's guitar again. I'm glad we don't go to the same college now, but I see him frequently, either around Mapua, beside my school, or in SM Manila. Whenever I see him, he really gets on my nerves, giving me that urge to just strangle him right then and there.

     This guitar in the picture, is the graduation gift given to me by my parents for the 4 years of high school I survived without getting any grades on my card on any subject in the line of 7. I named this baby Nathan. I chose that name because I read an e-book with Nathan as the brother of the leading lady in the story, with his lines in blue, and my electric guitar was dark blue, same shade as the text color used in Nathan oppa's dialogues.

     My mom's guitar, now I suppose it is mine already, since she doesn't use it anymore, I named Amads, after that guy in my organization who resembles my guy friend.

Only this for now, quite long, I know, I'm sorry. but this is the start of my uhmmm ...musicianhood? Haha, I now consider this a term referring to the 'musician part of one's life' . :D

Good Night. ^_^
