Goodbye Blogger, Hello Tumblr!

Sorry, but Tumblr is way much better! I will not use this blog anymore. Go to my TUMBLR!

Ciao Bella!

Hiatus

Obviously, I'm on hiatus. I keep telling that I'm back but then I get too lazy to update. Tsk.
I'm going on a blog break. Thank you.

Oh and just so you know, Lady G makes me piss my pants lately.

Prank Sinatra

Woooooooaaah! I'm back! So many to update, don't know where and how to start. Haha! I've been lazy lately. Lazy to blog, to dress up (which I never fail to do but recently I wore my 'pambahay' slippers in a fab place. Ugh! talk about lazy!), and to take pictures.

This is all I've got:

Just me being my Asian self. Haha! (Oh, and I AM wearing something!)
See! I blog nonsense. I think I forgot how to blog. Hahaha!

Anyways, a lot of stuff to update!
Seeing my HS friends again during Simon's party, my stressful surreal blur as a college student, seeing Steve Aoki and Mark Hunter at the Trilogy store opening, my wonderful visit to Cubaox, Incubus' new album and a lot more.
Long post to come soon!

Truth be told I miss you and truth be told I'm lying!

This music video pretty much reminds me the differences me and Ana likes in guys. Haha!
Watch it and guess who's mine? HAHA. Kidding Ana!

Strange dream is to strange girl

I thought it was real I really did!! HAHAHA.
I just had this short bad dream. Not really the worse but well, it was bad. Hahaha.

Ok, you know how dreams are right? They get all blur and skip and stuff?
So yeah, mine started a bit odd:

I was included in this season's "The Bachelor". I think it was held here in the Philippines or IT IS "Bachelor Philippines" (Well that's a nightmare right there). I was falling in line and this guy in front of me was talking to this other guy. They were chit chatting about how fat I was and that I shouldn't be there 'coz there were lots of pretty women around and that they didn't need a fat ass like me. Something like that. So I just ignored and went straight to the elevator. Inside the elevator was THE bachelor. He was surrounded by girls so I couldn't see a glimpse of his face. Finally I peeked in the swarm of girls and found out that the bachelor was the guy talking shit about me earlier. Great. Worse part is, there's no backing out and I do have to mingle with the douche until the show ends.

:|

Oh, and here's something to reverse the mood:

My little brother, Baron imitating my type of guy. Adorable huh?

Laziness and daydreams

Hello fine feathered friends!
I believe I haven't posted something un-celebrity / BB related? Forgive me for I have lost my blogging skills. Well partly.

This happens whenever I feel like I'm in the need to blog:
"To blog or not to blog?"
"Hmmmm...."
"Ooh brownies!"
*Eats the food and forgets about the updating*

Shit.
UNPRODUCTIVE + YUMMY CHOLESTEROL = NOT GOOD!
I need to do something quick before I turn into a huge asian sasquatch!

Gahhhh...

Ok, as you may already now, I am spending my whole entire college life in De La Salle University Manila. I am so ecstatic. The fact that I was expecting to be studying in mediocrity of DLSU-Benilde. (No offense)
But, I said to myself that I will be focusing more on the studies and less on how many hotties are on my block.

So tell me, what's it like being in college?
Are there gonna be bullies? preps? geeks? or my favorite, jocks? (Ugh.)
Or does it even matter? Will they take my lunch money?
Hahaha. As if that happens in reality! Wait, does it?
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, will I survive college? Will my expectations occur? Or will my plans succeed?
Well, I'm up for anything as long as I don't get kicked out due to low grades, absences and over-partying. Yikes! No waaaay.

1 week from now, I'll be cramming, researching, and maybe arguing with the snooze button again. Hooray!
Ok, this summer has got to be my most unproductive summer. Well, last year doesn't give any difference.
Having nothing to do almost every day makes me want to DO nothing.
I haven't done even one thing from my list of 'Things to do this summer'.
Yey! hello, unproductive me.

It's like the outside world is calling me like a nagging spouse:

"B, have you showered today?"
"No..."
"B, have you exercised yet?"
"No..."
"B, have you went to somewhere exciting?"
"No..."

"B...come into my arms and squeeze me like a mostly tamed Grizzly bear. I will likely just hug you back. But there's always the chance that you'll get your feathers ruffled."
"Yes, dear." (Smiles warmly as she presses her turned face into his knowing and almost always safe embrace. A sense of calm and warmth envelopes her, she remembers how lovely this is and lets out a deep sigh.)

Just thought of day dreaming to release the lunacy inside of me.
K, bye.

2009-05-07T10:25:00.000-07:00

"Lover, can you help me?..."

"Black Heart Inertia" has it's music video up already! Aaaah! Good to see B and the guys doing what they do best again. ♥

Connection alert!
ME -> PATTI -> PATTI'S COUSIN -> PATTI'S COUSIN'S FRIEND -> BRANDON BOYD'S COUSIN -> BRANDON BOYD!
Ok, I die.

Drop -- Tokyo culture magazine

I've recently discovered this Japanese online magazine called Drop.
Their outfits are OUTRAGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL (In a way).

Coachella ella ella...

TAKE ME TO COACHELLA, WILL YOU?

For those of you who don't know, Coachella is a 3-day arts and music festival held every year at Indio, California.
For me, Coachella is the epitome of eccentrically wonderful collaboration of two out of three of my most favorite things in the world! Arts and music.

Now tell me, who DOESN'T wish to go to Coachella? It has always been a dream of mine to attend at least ONE of the 3-day awsomeness. Problem is? I'm in Asia and I'm a gatrillion miles away Indio! Now, these are the reasons why I wanna move to Obama world. Hahaha. Babaw much.

Ok, those pictures seems a bit too wild. Lemme show you the subtle side of Coachella.

This fest couldn't have been more awesome!
My favorite Beatle, Sir Paul Mcartney...

AAAANNNNDDD!
Steve Aoki was present! Oh God. Kill me now!

Ayyyyyyy. But wait! That's not even half of the magic!

Other performers were:

Look! Even BB was there!

Note: Second guy from the left.
And yes, I think it is odd to see BB lay hands on Brent Bolthouse's crotch. :|

Gahhhh. Ok, Someday, somedaaaaayyy.

Little turd turns freakishy gorgeous

Remember Matt from "Lizzie Mcguire"? I know I do 'coz I used to be addicted to that show way back. As a result of my boredom, I watched our 'vintage' dvd of Lizzie Mcguire. Haha! I was curious on how Matt looks like now so I googled him. Found recent pictures of him...

...and WOW he looks good.

2009-04-24T19:58:00.000-07:00

L. GaGa inspires everyone

Ok, seriously, is it just me? Why is it that weird clothing is invented almost every day?

I hate it.
What's next? Sequined knee pads? HAHAHA.

Since my conscience is blabbering to my ear that I shall update...
And now I shall...

March 6
Perya: A Whimsical Fashion gala

My sis invited me to this fashion event since it was sponsored by DLSU.
I am not a fan of the whole circus-y / carnival-ish concepts. But this one was super. It looked like it had a lot of work! I mean, just the set itself was perfect!

Here are some of my favorites of Happy Andrada's wonderful collection:

The last three garments are my tops! Isn't it genius?

Oh, and look! I was spotted by Style Bible!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 9
Incu-day goes one year!

Wow. It's March 9 once again!
Here's a treat for all you hungry Incubus fans!

"Black Heart Inertia"

New song from their "Monuments and Melodies Greatest Hits" album to be released on June 16.
1st time I heard it, WOW. Love at first...um, hear. Seriously. I quickly fell in love with the song!
Good lyrics. Good melody. Good job as always, guys!

Oh, March 12 is Ben Kenney's birthday!
Happy Birthday mate!

March 24
High school really does end

March 24, 2009

HS graduation
Batch 2008 - 2009

March 19, 2009
Baccalaurette Mass
OB Greenhills

I recently graduated on the 24th of March. I wasn't really feeling that it was the "end". Even if I kept on telling myself that THIS is the end. None. Zero.
Hello Hen! Haha.

I can't believe its the end of me waking up, searching for my blue shirt, brown pants, and blazer. Running late at 7:29 in the morning. Receiving weird stares from teachers since its my nth time of being late. Having a bad mood all throughout the day 'coz Mrs. Ricafort insulted me early in the morning once again!.
Wow. Glad that's over! Hahaha.

In spite of that, I will forever miss my batchmates. It's like I have this comfort in them that I'm not really sure I can get in college. They're like brothers and sisters. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 27
"Feels like insomnia! Aaaaahhh!"

Bonded with Ana! Fun fun. We went to Town Center.
Wow, that place can be really dull huh? Haha!
After, went with my Mom to her party. Mara and some other kids were there so I approved of coming with her.
The party was boring. Well, for me of course 'coz the party consisted of over 40 women and loud gays. Not for me. Haha.
Two Am-boys came. They were the sons of the host's friend. Mara told me they were hot. The older one was conyo and the younger one looked like a boy Bratz doll. :|
In short, they were a bunch of pretty boys. Ugh, not my thing.
Mara and I had some drinks at Tides then went back to my place.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 28
"I fell in love with the dj..."

...yes, I really did. Haha!

Congrats Ate Alex for wining!

Dj Ari ♥

Find me. ;)

My brother invited me to this model search thing event to support her gf's sister. It was held at Club Jaipur at The Fort.

I really wished I approached that dj. Well, I was about to but my brother was calling me 'coz we had to go. :(

Marry me, Audrey Kawasaki.

We had to make our "Quo Vadis" for our school yearbook. Since everyone is busy, I decided to write my own profile instead of asking someone to write for me, which was the required option.

You have to write it as if it was a third person.

NAME: Beverly Benneth A. Kho

NICKNAME: Bevs / B / Shobe

BIRTHDAY: October 1, 1992

MOTTO: "Every step forward we take intellectually, is followed by four steps backwards via the smear tactics and adolescent back and forth bickering."

PROPHECY: Fashion Designer / Musician / Tourist

CLUBS: None

Beverly Kho is often called as "B" in school. And no, she did not get that name from the infamous "Gossip Girl".
She is a Manila native, a school girl by day and come nightfall she goes back to her world of art, music and fashion.

I shall now recall (for those who desire to know more) a not so brief remembrance of a Beverly Kho...

First, art. She started appreciating art for the last 2-3 years. She have since been scaling up exponentially.
In Medium, content and size. As her mind grows, so does her sights on what is possible creatively. This has allowed her to reach into photography, music, literature and lifestyle. All of which are as important as the next.
The kinds of art that have stood out to her have never really followed any particular pattern. I guess her eyes and her heart gravitate towards unusual, dark, absurd, sincere and beautiful works. She obsess over line work and flow.
She has no formal training. She would very much like to study in an art school (specifically a school named 'Otis' in Los Angeles, California) in the near future and absorb the myriad different techniques she have been missing out on! That being said, she was raised in a creative environment, and that does wonders for a young person's mind.

Second, music. She always had this obsession, as I may mention again, for colorful and big lifestyles. she grew up listening to almost everything she can hear. From sounds of toys scattered around to energy enhancing "Aqua" tunes. From that day on, she had the idea of what 'music' for her is like. It was like a drug.
She's always had a hard time in describing her creative style. She finds the same dilemma when asked what type of music she listen to. But if she had to, she would say that she's doing her best to turn her mind inside out and see what it looks like framed. ;)

Her creative process is both complex and simple. It's like trying to describe the sensation of love; one is better suited just experiencing it for oneself. But it becomes simple when she lets go into the process and don't question it so much. In these times, she have learned that just reading and listening to music helps to pass the time before the next creative pulse arises. It's been this way in her life for as long as she can remember.

Third, fashion. Seeing the world of high-class almost invisible women walking with gazillion dollars worth of colored cloth is captivating to an innocent's eye like her's. Making her say, "I wanna do that!" or rephrased as "I am going to do that!".
It's like you have an instant feeling of "anxiety" where you just want to forward time and go straight to your future. Assuring that she is going to be what she wants to be in the future!
I believe that she has the ability to become a successful fashion designer.

She likes to allow any and all influence into her world. Cultural or geographic. Political, or emotional. As far as she is concerned, anything is game. She finds that large parts of her interests are observational in the sense that she is merely living as she chose and the art, in whatever form it takes, is the unconscious filter of her experience.

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear Oxford digital pocket dictionary,

I am deeply sorry for overusing you and your good friend, thesaurus.
I didn't mean to stress you so much. :( You still make my life easier. Thank you.

Love,
B

...HAHAHAHA.

2009-03-08T16:23:00.000-07:00

F*ck obsessions.

Omg. omg. omg. omg! I can't believe it's been actually 1 year already! Ok, sorry, I just turned into a stupid blonde girl.

Today is March 8, 2009. About a year ago (March 8, 2008), I just experienced the most surreal thing in my life. Seeing Brandon Boyd and the rest of Incubus (Well, except for Ben and Kilmore) meters away from me. Words couldn't explain what I felt. It's emotions that I've never felt before! It was SUPER.
Only me, myself, and I could understand what I really felt right in that moment.

Have no clue on what I'm talking about? Click here (Refer to March 8, 2008 post) The whole story is in that link. No need to repeat it here. :)

Ay...that day was the start of delusional-me. Okay, I was delusional even before that day but my disease got even worse after. It turned into an extreme mental illness. Haha. As shallow as this sounds, my life was pretty much evolved around Incubus. I got inspiration and their songs somehow made me a better person. It guided me through life.
Ok, enough. I have lessened my obsession and I'm trying to focus on other things right now.
I still love you, B.
Hahaha.

Some recent stuff I found! (Pictures are arranged from oldest to recent)
All pictures of Brandon since March 8th is OUR day and Incubus day is March 9th. Haha.

Darn. Lucky punks.

B and Baelyn
This pic saddens me. :(

Here are some mis-seen pictures during our quest of stalking Brandon Boyd and Incubus, March 8, 2008. Got this from Mara's Facebook.

Crowne Plaza hotel
...where the 'magic' happened. Haha!

Stolen.

Exact spot where B and the gang exited.
Exact spot where I shouted their names.
Exact spot where I peeked through those blinds.
Exact spot where I had shivers down my spine.

More like "Bar One is closed for an Exclusive Function...
...THAT HAS CHANGED SOMEONE'S LIFE AND IS NOW SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS. Hahaha!

I love you, B.
Shit, there I go again!
Oh well...

Hellz-Bellz

I promised to post about Prom and my first ever Status yardsale.
Prom was a big BLAH. It was hell boring. I just made the most out of it since I know it will be my last ever.
Our prom was held last Feb.14 at Shangrila hotel.
I've always wished of a FUN foreign style prom. You know, where kids get to organize their prom, get to dress WHATEVER they like, no fun-sucking people.
I love everything about foreign proms. Well, except for the obliged-to-lose-virginity-on-prom-night thing. Just not that please.
Ok, I sound like our prom was the worst of worst. It's not.
It's just a biiig BLAH. That's all. :)
Favorite part: Leaving. Oh, and my gown.

After prom, Reba, Louie, Bea, Hen, Patti and Lauren rode with me going to my condo. They were planning to party but they failed. It was 1 am and it was creepy walking around streets of Fort. There were men putting their windshields down and whistling. It was creepy. Good thing I didn't join them. Patti and Reba got back and Bea and Louie went back to their hotel room in Shangrila. Lauren was with his boy toy. Or should I say its the other way around hm? Haha. She slept over with us after. We ended up having a slumber party instead of a wild night of pure partying. Haha!

The day after, Me, Reb, Pat, and Lau went to Serendra to kill time for the Yardsale later.

Yardsale babe!

2009-02-24T23:20:00.000-08:00

Bada bing with a pipe!

From now on, I shall make titles irrelevant to my post. Haha.

Feb 7
Mom's 40-something birthday!
We celebrated it at Sophie's Garden right across our house. It was 80's inspired. Hello, no one showed up with any sign of 80's in their outfits. :|
I think it was just me who was the closest.

I have no pictures with the birthday celebrant actually IN it. I'll add pictures when I get it from my Mom's cam.

Feb 8
Happy 11th incu-monthsary to B! Pssh.
Haha. Wow. I can't believe its been almost one year!

Here's a recent interview of the newly stached Brandon.
You still look good in my eyes, B...
...even with that hideous stache. :)

Feb 9
Happy 11th Incu-monthsary!
One more month and it's March 9 again!

Here's a picture of Me and Mara before the show.
Reminisce...

Mara and I @ the Incubus concert
March 9, 2008
Araneta Coliseum

Now take a closer look and you'll see mini Brandon Boyds in my eyes.
Hahahaha! A sign of excitement mixed with anxiety mixed with nervousness mixed with LOVE.
...ok, maybe there aren't any.

Prom, Status Yardsale, and Dad's birthday (Today) to follow...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Ciao!

House arrest

After 3 days of being stuck at home, I feel like im in a house arrest. I have spent more time staring at my purple walls than exploring the outside world.
Here's what I've learned / realized / found out as a result of my 3 day suffer:

1. It is a lot harder to live in a big house.

2. I wanna be like Kaki King.

3. I think its time to shove off some pounds AGAIN.

4. Ana and I have been hanging out less these past few days.

5. My sister just rejected me on Facebook. Secrets much?

6. Seeing Ruth's photos on his brother's Facebook account made me miss her sooo much.

7. It's official, I failed La Salle. Animo!

8. A family friend of ours failed La Salle but is currently studying there right now because of my dad. :|

9. Seeing a replay of Project Runway Ph and seeing Mara Reyes made me think that I cant believe she actually went inside my room. Haha!

10. I need to reunite with my old folks.

11. 59 is a badluck number for the Chinese people. My dad turns 60 instead of 59 tomorrow. Now that sucks.

12. March 9 is a few days away. I can't believe it has been one year already! I miss you, Incubus.

13. My sister's current squeeze has this itsy bitsy tiny resemblance to our driver.

14. I checked my Facebook about a hundred times this day.

15. I lied to a friend :(

16. I manage to create a birthday post for Brandon Boyd but didn't make one for my mother. Woops. One birthday post to come!

17. I pretty much did 3 things over and over this day.

18. I fantasize about being a vocalist almost everyday.

19. I need to design my room quick before my DAD designs it. Yikes!

20. I got this idea from Bianca Gonzales's blog. Credits to you my friend.

I can go on and on but it might take me to number 1737438493958792348793.
Hahaha!

2009-02-15T19:46:00.000-08:00

Happy birthday BB!

Happy birthday Brandon Boyd loove.

Brandon Boyd. Let me introduce you to a man named Brandon Boyd...
Ok, I'm lazy. Haha!
I know gazillion things about Brandon and its so long it might bore you guys.
To make it simple, let's just say, Brandon is the epitome of a PERFECT GUY.

Here's B's latest blog child. It's like his birthday post for his self.

February 11, 2009

I'm turning 33 on Sunday. I think this means I have to go and get a real job now. I think this means I have to change my jeans more than once every two weeks. I assume from here on in that I should fold my clothes after they come out of the dryer. By all rights, I should be married by now and thinking about what to name the kids I haven't conceived as yet. Hmmm. Something Bohemian. Something clever. Something original. But not too obscure so as to make his/ her life hell in middle school. Thoreau? Beretta? Maximilian? Doity? Baron Von... Or maybe a good ol' Yuppie name; Tabitha?

No. I am not quite there yet. These jeans are far too greased and broken in to wash right now. The laundry is warm and welcoming when you wear it straight out of the dryer. And I'm having too much fun not knowing if, when and or how I'll survive in the music industry as it clings to the steep, slick walls of the spiked punch bowl that is the world we live in today.

Incubus is releasing an album in May of 2009; a "best of" type thing. It has forced serious introspection and reassessment for me. I have been listening to out takes, demos, rarities and unreleased tidbits for the better part of a two months now and I can safely say that I am overwhelmed! So much has transpired over the past ten years that I really haven't stopped to look at it with any objectivity until just recently. That is, after all, the most difficult part of being immersed in the creative process; you have a really hard time seeing any of it through anyone's filter but your own.

I am proud of what we have done as a band. That I can say with certitude. I am proud of what I have contributed to this strange sonic and social experiment called 'Incubus'. And I am proud that we have been able to capture the ears and hearts of so many of you...

Onto different topics though! I wanted to thank each and every one of you again for coming out to see 'Ectoplasm'. It was such a pleasure to meet those of you I was able to, and to hear your thoughts on art, culture, music, social philosophy, food, sex and drugs. Among other things. I decided to do a limited run of 250, signed 8.5 x 11 inch lithographs of three of the smaller sketches from 'Ectoplasm'. All are signed and numbered and each has a love spell set upon it by none other than Madame Blavatsky's cleaning lady's illegitimate daughter. When you open your package and the set of three, signed prints hits your eyes you will instantly fall in Like (or Love) and not feel bad about having spent $100 on three, colored pieces of paper. Nice paper with nice images upon it, but paper nonetheless.

FAQ:
"Hey, Brandon! Don't you know we are in a deep recession right now?! You insensitive asshole! You money grubbing, bean hoarding piece of Jackalope dung!"
Signed, Brandon's left hemisphere of his brain, Esquire.

Hi Brandon's Brain's left hemisphere! Thanks for the great question. You are right. $100 is way too much to send on art right now. Unless that is... you have something against all things awesome. And you don't want your eyes to have orgasms every time they catch the sight of any one of the three pieces in question. Yes, eyes can have orgasms. And yes, you will cream your goggles. Thanks for writing!

"Hey Brandon! I didn't realize that Madame Blavatsky had had a cleaning lady! And that she had a love child, no less. Did she really put a love spell on each one of the prints you are selling on your website? And if my Wife feels threatened by my newfound love for your art, can I have her talk to you? Hey, thanks a lot!"
Signed, Bruce.

Hi Bruce! Gosh, what an amazing question! Yes, she put a love spell on each piece. And yes, have your Wife call me if she feels left out. Thanks!

"Hi Brandon! Long time listener, first time writing. I was wondering how the prints should best be presented once they arrive at my doorstep in the cool, box you packed them in. And I wanted to know if you got the Jello Mold I sent with the bits of my DNA sprinkled on top. Hope you liked it!"
Signed, The creepy girl who has a polaroid collection of her poops.

Hey there, Polaroid Poop Girl! I got the Jello Mold. And enjoyed it's gelatin-ish goodness. If I were you, I'd have them framed by your favorite, local framer. These are archive quality prints and if taken care of, might be worth something one day! Especially of I wrap my car around a telephone pole one dark, Winter night while drunk on power and cough syrup. Ok, bye!

Anyway... thanks for checking in, kids. I love you and I hope you all are staying warm and hopeful in what is proving to be one of the strangest times in the History of the World.

Cheers,
Brandon Boyd

Funny, I dreamt about Brandon on the night of his birthday! Haha.

Someone told me that Brandon was in my garage! In MY garage! I quickly ran and greeted him. I ran back to my room to get the stuff that I've always wanted him to sign. I let him sign almost everything I own. I told him everything I've always wanted to say to him. Then pops Mikey (Einziger) out of nowhere. I let him sign my guitar pic and some random stuff. I felt so accomplished after. I hugged and kissed brandon since I know that its going to be a looong time before I see him again. I took the once in a lifetime opportunity.

Ay...
Dreams dreams dreams.
Can I stop dreaming and let the real thing happen now?!
Haha. I'm sick of dreaming!

I love you forever B!

Sneak peek!

Here's a sneak peek of my prom gown.

Looks kinda obvious.
For those who know, shut up.
Haha!

2009-02-06T09:01:00.000-08:00

Mara Reyes is the shiiit.

Still haven't posted about our (Me and Ana) meet-up with Mara Reyes. Ok, since I realized that it's not everyday that you'll have your LAST prom. So I wanted to make it special. I was thinking on who will design my gown. I thought, I need someone edgy and unique. Who else? but Mara Reyes! My sister is friends with Mara's sister Tammy. Perfect! I contacted Mara and asked her if she makes prom gowns. Yes she did. It quickly popped in my head that I want her "trademark" as my gown. And that you will have to find out. Hahaha.
Fine, I'll post a picture when I receive it.

Me and Ana met up with her at Serendra to discuss our gowns. She showed me a sketch of what she visualized that I want my gown to be. It was perfect! I loved it. Ana had nothing specific in her mind, she just wants something simple but Mara said she can't make simple happen. Haha.
Ok, she didn't say that but something like that!
She had something that fits Ana's personality. I liked it! and it really does suit Ana's personality.
Ok, can I just say this? while discussing, I can't stop staring at her. She was sooo pretty! Her hair is pretty, her skin is pretty, her clothes are pretty! She's the epitome of pretty! Haha.
Me and Ana wanted a pic with her but we didn't want to look like fan girls! Haha.
There were awkward pauses. And yes, I hated the feeling. There were pretty interesting stuff that she told us as well. One thing that amused me was when she said that she'll be busy this month because Nylon Japan got her for a spread and she needs to go to Japan. All expense paid! How cool is that?

Just a quick info:

Nylon is an American magazine that focuses on pop culture and fashion. Its coverage includes art, beauty, music, design, celebrities, technology and travel.

Talk about glam life!
Oh and because I love you Ana, I won't share your embarrassing story! Haha.

2009-02-03T20:09:00.000-08:00

L is for Lady GaGa.

And because of Ana and Hen, I decided to check out the song, "Just Dance" by Lady GaGa.
They were singing the song over and over again and I thought of downloading it. First time I listened to it I didn't like it that much. It was ok. But when I saw the music video....WOW. I loved it and it made me love the song as well!
The music video was so good that it made the song sound good!
It was my type of music video! I loooved it. The whole spontaneous vibe in the video was just perfect.
...I hate that I'll see AKON's face in it though. Ugh.

...and because I can hardly understand what she sings, here's some lyrics! Yey!

"Just Dance"
By Lady GaGa

A red one
Convict
Gaga

I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush.
Start to rush babe.
A dizzy twister dance
Can't find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

[Chorus:]
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Ju-just dance.

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth.
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside out babe.
Control your poison babe
Roses with thorns they say.
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight.
What's go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

[Chorus]

[Colby O'Donis]
When I come through on the dance floor checking out that catalogue.
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw.

And I ain't gonna' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like the car
I'm gonna hit it, I'm gonna beat it up latch until tomorrow yeah.
Shorty i can see that you got so much in the jean
The way you twirling up them hips round and round
There's no reason, I know why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stand, let me watch you break it down.

[Chorus]

Half Psychotic, Sick hypnotic got my blueprint its symphonic.
Half Psychotic, sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic.
Half Psychotic, Sick hypnotic got my blueprint its symphonic.
Half Psychotic, sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic.

Go. Use your muscle coming out work and hustle
I got it, just stay close enough to get it
Go slow. Drive it, clean it like so clean it's been molesto, I got it, and your popped coll'

[Chorus]

LOOK BOOK, B's new book, Lezlo transformation (Well, not anymore! Scroll down to find out.)

I've recently found out about this site where you can share your everyday get ups. Well that's a pretty shallow definition. It's about fashion. But you can't just sign up, you have to be invited where you will enter a code. Thanks P!
I've been addicted to it ever since. It's called lookbook.nu
CLICK HERE to check out my account!

I asked my Auntie to buy me B's sophomore book, "From the Murks of the Sultry Abyss" which was back in 2006. Since it was just available in the US, I had no choice but to wait about 2 years for me to actually read it!
I loooved every word of it! And again, genius work B!

How fake is the second picture below? Haha!

I just had a "Lezlo transformation" last last week. I had my hair coloured like brown-ish auburn. I loved it at first! and it looked exactly like Lezlo's (Lindsay Lohan) picture that I showed them. Except mine has blonde highlights. My hair was turning yellow-ish day by day because of the bleach blonde highlights that the stylist FORCED me to have. I had to dye my hair dark again because of school issues. It's ok, I just trashed away loads of money! Grrr.
This WAS my hair...

Bye Lezlo. :(

Incubus letters

I was amazed when I saw the new video the guys made on their official site. I saw it mid December and I was in awe! I loooved it! I did not know a way how to download that video. Searched it over at YouTube and someone posted it already. So here it is!

Wasn't that just genius??

So tell me, how does this make you feel?

2009-01-17T11:53:00.000-08:00

This 2009 I plan to...

......

1. Study in the university I prefer
2. Lose weight
3. Boxing lessons this summer (If not, buy my own human boxing thingy. You know what I mean)
4. Fashion design OR photography lessons
5. Visit relatives in US
6. Gain new friends
7. Improve socializing skills!

That's it FOR NOW. I don't wanna make my list any longer. That'll just decrease the accomplishing. :)

2009-01-11T12:46:00.000-08:00

...continuation

December 18 Christmas party / Rei's surprise bday bash
We had our traditional Christmas party. Sarcastically speaking, it was fun! Games and food, what's new?

After school, I jumped in and joined my folks with 'the plan'. And by 'plan' I mean Rei's surprise bday party! We all rode with Dana going to Rei's pad to arrange things.

A few hours passed, and the plan started to get exciting! Rei and the boys arrived and Rei's brother, Roy Bien (Roy Beans) said his line and up goes Rei in the attic (where we all hid our asses out)....

..."HAPPY BIRTHDAY REI!"

Dana showed up holding a huge sign. Rei was in awe! And he literally looked like he walked in the wrong house! Haha!

Rei was still in disbelief. He still could not take it in his system that we actually did an effort for him. Haha. He thanked us continuously. You're welcome, Rei! I had to leave early 'coz me-going-there was unplanned after all.

CHRISTMAS
For me, Christmas was BLAH. I LOVE Christmas. If it is possible, I would like to spend every Christmas special. But no, I wasn't really feeling the 'Christmas spirit'. Received about a handful of Christmas gifts. Hooray. Hahaha.

HONG KONG
It's like the 8th or 9th time? I can't remember! I've had countless trips in HK and as a result, I felt like I was in Makati! Hahaha. I can still remember the first time I stepped into HK. Hello, out of place. It was the worst feeling ever. I felt like I was in a different planet and that all eyes were on me! And I still felt that awkwardness for the next 5 trips! hahaha! I was that of a dork back then.

Day 1

Streets of HK, airport, Park Lane hotel

Get-up for the day:

Day 2

IFC mall, streets of HK, Park Lane hotel

Get-up for the day:

Day 3

Park Lane hotel, Wellcome super market

Get-up for the day:

Day 4

Tom Lee, HK airport

NEW YEAR
New year for me was just a copy-paste of my Christmas. BLAH. but wait! not JUST a blah, but a disaster too! It felt horrible eating on new year's eve with dull vibes around the room. Okay, a quick story of what happened... ...Everything was fine, when I woke up, fireworks nearly blew up my brain! I am not a fan of firework noise. A fan of fireworks but not the noise.
Okay, back to the story, we started eating and the food was fine but not for my dad, you don't know how my dad is a perfectionist when it comes to food! yes, food. So, the food was...it was cold. Not just any cold but FREEZER cold. He was so pissed that he decided to just sleep. It was sad eating with just 4 people on the table. Sad, just sad. I was in bemuse of what I felt. Kinda annoyed and felt sorry for my parents at the same time. Annoyed 'coz it randomly popped out of my head that while people from all over the world are having a blast on new year's eve, i am sitting my ass off and staring into space. I couldn't sleep and so I thought of one thing that makes me happy...
What else? Brandon Boyd and Incubus. So I just watched my Incubus dvd (which Ate Aylan gave to me earlier that day! Thanks Ate Ay!) It is an Incubus "When Incubus Attacks" DVD Vol. 2.
Yes, Im that of a loser receiving the dvd just now when it was released gazillion years ago. I've watched the dvd way back on YouTube though but I still wanted the real thing. As expected, it washed away my anger! Thanks B.

2009-01-09T14:55:00.000-08:00

The holidays

(Christmas 2007)

Ok, about 15 hours before Christmas! I've always loved Christmas! It's like the bad side of the world stops when it's Christmas! Hehe.
I still have to buy gifts from my family later. I know right? Last minute of last minutes!

We'll be leaving on the 26th for Hong Kong! Yey! But Mom kinda ruin my excitement.
(Sorry Mom!)
She said that buying stuff won't be 'sky is the limit' anymore like it used to be every time we're in HK. So yea, that kinda decreased my anxiety.

Anyways...
You guys have a magical Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Update update update!

Hello my feathered friends,
I know fellow bloggers will agree that there is the time in the 'blogging world' where we feel extra lazy to update. Right? That's been happening to me. So to keep your life worth living, here's an update!

December 10 - A Supraman's birthday!

Happy Birthday Rei Robles!
You are one GREAT seatmate / friend / leader
Wish you won't forget who gave you the name "Supraman"! Haha!

December 11 - Food Fair 2008

I won't blog much on this since it really bore me to death!
We were assigned at the booth, "Ice Cream and Shakes" which apparently, we only sold shakes. I know right?

Isn't that giant shake above our booth just genius? Thanks to Drea!
I was one of the cooks and we were really chaotic! chocolate powder flying everywhere! ok, that was a bit exaggerated. Hahaha.

After the busy part, I just sat down and rested...and ate! And when I mean ate, I mean ATE. I was munching on everything! I couldn't help it! There were food everywhere. And so what? It was a FOOD Fair.

December 13 - A Saturday for my Betches!

Went to Ana'a house for a math tutor session but ended up just hanging out since our tutor wasn't available.

Went to Town to meet up with Mike, Luis, and Hen.
Me and Ana watched "Twilight" and Hen followed. The movie was alright. It was cute. A lot of I-wish-I-was-Bella scenes. Well, for me there is!

Funny moment: (Quoted from Ana's blog)

I was texting my mom and Mike during the movie.

ME: "Whoaw. Guys! Tingnan niyo text sakin ni Mike oh!"
Text Message: "Sige lang, anak!"
ANA and HEN: *Laughs at the random message*
ME: "What the hell?!? Ang random!" *Checks my sent messages*
ME: "Oh! Kaya naman pala" *shows us a sent message*
Sent Message: "To Mike: Okay, ma. Thanks!"
ANA and HEN: *Laughs out completely*
ME: *Replies to Mike's text* "Sorry! Kala ko mom ko!"
Mike's Reply: "Sorry! Kala ko anak ko!"

HAHAHAHA! The best!

After the movie, we roamed around and spotted Santa Claus! So we had our picture taken.

Ate and went to TZ Active and Timezone. Did some random and unusual stuff.

That's me and Hen playing our favorite game in Timezone!

Crazy kids let loose in Timezone! Yey!

Hen dared me to mess up with a Korean. She dared me to shoot a ball while the Korean was playing with the basketball thingy. Haha! Feeling confident that day...

...so I did! That's me laughing my lungs out after butting in on a Korean's ball game! Hahaha!

We pretty much did nothing after. Just roamed and talked. Blah blah...

Other updates to be followed.
To be continued...

December 8, 9...and 10!

Yet another 8th and 9th of the month! Ya'll know what that means... ...Incubus day! I decided not to call it an "Incu-monthsary" since it's sounding a 'lil bit cheesy. Hehe. Well actually, the 8th is Me and Brandon's day and the 9th is Incubus day! I've been doing this 8th and 9th thing since April! and will continue doing it till...till...ETERNITY! Hahaha.
No clue of what I'm talking about? Be un-lazy for once and search it in my archives!

That's a recent picture of B riding his bike at a night in Venice, Ca

At the VH1 Rock Honors

December 10 is special too! Why? Let's just say that this day was the start of my countdown 'til HEAVEN!

Something relevant to this, I caught a picture of Jason Boyd (B's younger brother) on MySpace that made me smile.

There's Jason with a bunch of Filipinos! Hahaha. A Boyd eating at a Filipino-based fast food chain?
I know I shouldn't be surprised but I don't know, seems kinda weird. That's all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other note...

December 8 is also the death anniversary of my brother, Jon. I know he's watching over me. I love you, Aya!

December 10 is also a Supraman's birthday! I'mma make a post for you soon, Rei! Watch out for that. ;)

2008-12-09T21:53:00.000-08:00

Girl love

I think I'm having this 'girl crush' on Camilla Belle. She's just so beautiful! She has this unique face and not to mention those gorgeous brows! One thing that caught my eye was her look in the movie, "10000 B.C.". I'm diggin the dreads on her!

Doesn't she look like Joe Jonas in this picture?

HAHAHA.

She is on my list together with...

Natalie Mejia

Keri Hilson

And the insanely beautiful, Katy Perry

Such gorgeous beings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He is in a good place, Luis.

My condolences to Luis' tito, Pat who had just passed away these past few days.
Be strong Luis! We're here for you. :)

Inspiration

Ok, so 2 yard sales have passed. I wasn't / too lazy to attend. This time, I HAVE to go. It's not that I want to, I HAVE to.

Another reason of my desire of attending this is, again, I wanna meet my inspiration, Mara Reyes personally. She has inspired me more in pursuing my love for art and fashion. Thanks Mara!

Since I started talking about Mara Reyes, I'mma make a brief post about her.

Mara Reyes is a 21-year old from Pasig City, Metro Manila. She graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts Major in Painting from the University of the Philippines Diliman, she works as a costume designer.

Here are some of my personal favorites of her works:

Rose Camp Hoodie

Warhola

Reversible Hooded Scarf

On Mia: Aqua Blue graphic print Corset,Gold Earphones and Stretched Metallic Gold Pants
On Mira: Black Sequined Vest, Blue Tank Top, Gold Chain Necklace, Shades and Stretched Metallic Silver Pants

FASHION + PHOTOGRAPHY = PERFECT COMBINATION

Oh and isn't this picture so cute?

Found it in her MULTIPLY SITE.

You can also check out her ONLINE SHOP!

Go click and be mesmerized. ;)

2008-11-22T17:41:00.000-08:00

The CB and Rihanna experience!

Okkk, I was wrong. I went completely psycho-screaming-jumping-fan-girl over Chris Brown!
I didn't knew I would react that way. As CB entered the stage, I felt the me-seeing-Boyd feeling for the second time! I've always liked CB. He was my Brandon Boyd back in the early days. I loved his songs. There's something about CB that makes me gaga, or all of us gaga.

Ok, back to the experience. I bought silver tickets which I kinda regret 'coz it was super far and I felt that we were quite isolated from the show. Yes, THAT far. But it's all good, at least I get to see CB even if it was at his ant-like view. Haha! I went with a couple of friends.
Besides seeing CB, I was excited for another thing, concert pictures! I studied and practiced concert photography just for the show and guess what? my SLR wasn't allowed inside the venue so I had to call and get somebody to take my cam for the meantime. Good thing I just live meters away from the venue.
So hello, crappy concert photos!
We are at the very first line for the silver group of audience. Don't know what I'm talking about? Click HERE.

Countdown ended. 3...2...1...then "Wall To Wall" started playing!
Like I said, I went completely psycho-screaming-jumping-fan-girl! I didn't care even though I only knew choruses of his hit singles. Haha.

Here was his setlist: (not in order)

"Wall To Wall"
"Run It"
“Forever”
“Kiss, Kiss”
“Gimme That”
“Picture Perfect”
“Say Good Bye”
“With You”
“No Air” (solo version without Jordin Sparks)
“Rock With You”(Michael Jackson cover)
“Billy Jean”(Michael Jackson cover)
“Thriller”(Michael Jackson cover)

CB's entrance was rad! It was sooo cool! He was hanging upside down!

He even had a dance off part during the early hours of his show. He had kids and some teens go up the stage! How cool is that? If I was to go up on that stage, I would take the opportunity and hug him! It's not everyday that you hug a Chris Brown you know!
He was so good!

CB ended with smiles on the audiences faces. :)

After CB, there was a 30-minute break before Rihanna. There was also beautiful fireworks while waiting for Rihanna. Oh how I wish I had a guy to watch those fireworks with. Hahaha.

Rihanna finally entered the stage. She was so beautiful!

Here was her setlist: (in order)

"Disturbia"
"Breakin' Dishes"
"Break It Off" (solo version without Sean Paul)
"Let Me"
"Rehab"
Medley —
"Pon de Replay"
"Who Am I?" (Beenie Man cover)
"Paper Planes" (M.I.A. cover)
"Doo Wop (That Thing)" (Lauryn Hill cover)
"Live Your Life" (solo version without T.I.)
"SOS"
"Good Girl Gone Bad"
"Hate That I Love You"
"Unfaithful"
"Don't Stop the Music"
"Push Up on Me"
"Shut Up and Drive"
"Take a Bow"
"Cinderella" (with Chris Brown)

I didn't know she was more of a rocker chick now. Suits her though. I loved "Breaking Dishes"! Watching it live made me listen to that song over and over again. It was so catchy and dance-y. I kinda got bored with Rihanna.
Sorry Rihanna! All of our energy was taken by CB, no more left for Rihanna. So the crowd was all quiet when she performed. I was quite embarrased when she said, "Are you usually this quiet? Make some mother f***ing noise!"
Hahaha. She noticed how quiet her crowd was.

The final song was "Cinderella". CB got back on stage. And for the nth time, I went completely psycho-screaming-jumping-fan-girl! Hahaha! How many times did I mention that? I couldn't help it! There was something in him! Something in him that I can't explain. They were so sweet singing that song. CB even kissed Rihanna on her shoulder.♥

Wow, almost 6 hours of standing! We got there at 4pm and the show started at 8! plus! our area was filled with red ants. Great.
But it was all worth it!

Here are more pics of CB and Rihanna:
(All pictures are grabbed from someone named Toney, I just searched for good pictures and then appear her site. So, thank you to you!)

Wanna see one of the crappy pictures I took?

See! crappy! It's like Danny Devito trying to take a good picture. Haha.

The night was not all about CB and Rihanna, it was also about having a blast with some of my closest friends!

To top it all off, here's Mike trying to imitate my everyday get-up. Haha.

Hahaha! Exxxaaagggeee!

A taste of We Are Scientists

We Are Scientists
UK, November 2006

I'm loving the band, We Are Scientists. They're freakin hilarious! They're songs and videos may not be that deep but I don't know, I like it! I think it's something new and cute!

Check out their music video I found!

It's like Andy Milonakis-inspired! Hahaha!
These guys are genius!

Oh, and I'm loving their song, "Nobody Moves, Nobody Get Hurt"
Listen to it!

Check them out! check out their MYSPACE!

1 year of blogging, blogging and more blogging!

My blog is 1 year already. Wow, time flies so fast. I completely remember myself trying to figure out how to change my blog address and ending up deleting it. I didn't knew I could change my blog address without disposing my blog. But anyways, my brain was too clogged that time that I didn't bother thinking of the other posts I will lose. I started blogging back in 2005 during my freshman days of high school and I would love to look back on those posts and just laugh. I was so innocent and not to mention, baduy! hahaha!

Happy 1 year hailthejewelofthelotus!

...speaking of the old days, I thought of sharing some things I used to like back then. It started when I randomly thought of searching my old account on Friendster (which was the last time I opened was in 2005). One word, YUCK!
Hahaha. Now I understand, every kid passes through THAT stage.
...stage of regrets! Haha.

Click HERE to view my old Friendster account.
Beware: Not for the sensitive heart.
Hahaha.

Oh! and upon seeing my old account, I realized that I still do like those songs listed on my "Favorite Music" so I decided to download them.

"Let Me Hold You" - Bow Wow Feat. Omarion

"Crazy" - Javier

"Happy" - Ashanti

"Again" - Faith Evans

Haha!
Ciao, Bella!

2008-11-15T16:28:00.000-08:00

"It's like I waited my whole life"

So, I'll be seeing CB and Rihanna tomorrow. I'm still not feeling the excitement YET. Maybe tomorrow morning. Oh gee, It's like Incubus concert days all over again, but this time, I'm not an obsessed psycho fan girl. Haha. See you tomorrow!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I officially love Katy Perry

Isn't that performance just magical? and the way she hosted the EMA's was phenomenal!

I love Katy Perry!
...except I don't wanna be caught kissing girls. ;)

Oh! and Pink's performance of "So What?" was raging!
Gotta love those pillow feathers! Hahaha.

2008-11-14T16:01:00.000-08:00

Obama! Change!

From the Obama rally in Madison, WI Feb 13, 2008

'Change' is the word described for newly elected president, Barack Obama. I love Obama. I think he'll be a great leader for America. Plus! he's the first ever attractive president in the U.S.! OR! as I quote Lindsay Lohan, he's the first "colored" president. Bad! color will not change America, color is not an important factor for 'change'. It is the hope and the victory of a leader. That is, Obama. All hail Obama!
A change for the people, a change for America.
Good luck, America!

Wow, you might wanna elect ME as president! Hahaha!

Shivers down my spine

Taken at VH1 Rock honors The Who
July 7, 2008

I get shivers down my spine whenever I see things which reminds me of the day that made me forget about everything. March 9, 2008.

Happy Incu-monthsary!

Ricwhore

...and because it's November 8 today (you all know what that means), I thought of sharing this picture I stumbled upon a random blogger's blog a few months ago.

His name is Rico, he's an English-speaking man whore who somehow ruin my chances of meeting my heroes. Wow, thanks man!

Hahahaha! Happy monthsary, B!

A Pretty boy's birthday bash!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

Mike had his birthday celebrated at N-lo's. We had a blast. Crazy WILD night. Well, wild for them. Hahaha. We had a couple of shots and a few started to feel tipsy. Then I looked at Lauren and about 30 minutes after her arrival, she got drunk already :| Haha. My goal that night was not to get drunk and do crazy things. My goal was simply to have a great time and take it easy. Me and P hanged-out the rest of the night. Funny actually 'coz we were waiting for Mike's brother just 'coz we had an itsy bitsy tiny crush on him. Hey, I know the guy has a girlfriend, he's not my type and all that shit but there's just something in him that's so attractive. Hahaha. P talked me in asking a picture with him which was a wrong move 'coz I felt pathetic after. But oh well...

Oh, and I hate the awkward feeling after this. Hahaha.

I had a birthday shot for Mike.
Just for you, Mike! Hahaha. It tasted like acetone though.

We pretty much had a good time throughout the rest of the night.
Thanks, Mike!

Some pictures during that night:

More pictures HERE!

2008-11-06T14:45:00.000-08:00

Laughter + Wombs = HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEN!

November 3, 1992

Hen and I have gone through a lot and I mean a LOT. We've been bestfriends since birth! Haha. No, I've been friends with her since grade 3 and we became bestfriends during grade 5. Hen and I has this 'bond' that only us can understand.
I've had a countless memories with Hen. Good, bad, funny, happy, sad, weird. Name it! But most of those memories were happiness. I'm pretty sure that I know Hen very well. Ok, I shall name a few things that I know about Hen from past until present...

We used to love skater guys (Now we both got sick of them. Haha)
She then was in love with Kenny Choi of Daphne Loves Derby
She hates people who is obsessed with Starbucks
Her favorite kuya is Kuya Rhys which explains why they have a lot of similarities!
Our dads our twins! (Don't ask. Haha.)
She started the catch phrases "Nice.", "Nice whem.", and "Ang lala.". Now everybody is saying it.
She used to say "Alright!" like a gazillion times a day! Haha.
She liked the bands, Motion City Soundtrack, Fall Of Troy, Moneen, Copeland, Valencia, etc.
She used to loooove Jason Mraz but stopped when she heard the news that Mraz was a sex addict. :|
Now, she's attracted to Korean guys.
She has multiple Korean celebrity crushes. Seungri, GD, Jae-Jin, Ki Bum, Min Ho (?) and her current squeeze, Key!
She uses Korean catch phrases like: "Ssibal", "Omuna", "De", "Gyupta". I'm sure she has a lot more that I'm not aware of. Haha.
She's into a lot of Korean bands like Big Bang, Epik High, FT Island, Se7en, Shinee. And again, I'm sure she has tons more.
And last, she never fails to make me laugh or all of us laugh! Haha.

Wait, before I forget, the first time I knew the existence of Hen was back in grade 2, she was in PM class and I was in AM class. Every time me and my friends would play Chinese garter after classes, she was always present at staring at us complete with her bestida dress and exaggerated application of powder in her neck. She was always staring and one time I couldn't help it and asked her, "Gusto mo ba sumali?" and she said "Yes.". That's the start of me knowing a Henriette Trillanes. Hahaha.

Although things may be different now, I still consider Hen as my bestfriend and forever will. Sometimes when I'm alone, I laugh by myself, no I'm not crazy, it's because I randomly remember funny moments with Hen.

Oh, and here's something for you Hen!

It's GD at his best! Hahaha!

Love youuu Hen!

2008-11-03T09:06:00.000-08:00

Illusions

And again, I dreamt about Brandon last night! oh, and it was a good one.

I was coming down from a bus (don't know why), upon my arrival to this place (which is our school), I was expecting to see Brandon, I saw a car and I saw Brandon inside, I realized that I left my bag inside the bus. I hurriedly got my bag and prepared my things for Brandon to sign. Suddenly I was in the car already and I was talking to Brandon and telling him how much I love and adore him. I remembered that I've always wanted him to sign my ipod so I asked for his signature. I was happy and speechless to see that B was not only signing my ipod, he was sketching something too! (since we all know that he is an artist).
It was the sweetest thing ever. It was cute actually 'coz after he drew the picture in my ipod, he forgot to sign his signature! haha.
There was a girl in the front seat, I looked over and guess what? Kim Kardashian!

Me: you're dating Kim Kardashian??
B: Yah.
Me: Um, okkkay.
(You're too smart for her! come on B, you can do better than this!) that was in my head of course!

I took the opportunity and took as many pictures of B! plus! we had multiple pictures together! I was thinking to myself that this better be real and not a dream!
After that, irrelevant things started to happen, like I was suddenly looking for my mom. See! irrelevant!

2008-11-01T17:31:00.000-07:00

2 straight days with a Betch

(Lauren had curlers on that's why her hair looks so granny-ish. Haha.)

Yesterday was fun. Me and Lauren hanged out the whole day and she slept overnight here in my place. We went to Serendra for the trick or treat thing they had but the event was blah. It was for kids and we weren't really feeling it. so, we just roamed around Fort and ate and shopped a bit. Wow. We do deep things huh? Haha.

We went to the gym and went swimming the day after.
Yeeeaa, not gonna post pictures of that. Hahaha.

2008-10-31T12:55:00.000-07:00

Aspiring...

I love art.
Photography is art.
Photography speaks in its own way.

Everybody's into photography right now 'coz photography is 'in' but I don't think of it as that way, photography is somehow an illustration of feelings and emotions. It is not for show.
...and I will not let anyone get into my mind about me being an aspiring photographer.
Say whatever you want, I'll be listening. :)

Here are some of my 'works' as I may call it.
Some are raw and some are edited though.

Gear: Olympus E410, 14-42 lens, 1/500, f3.5

"Indistinct"

"Point of View"

"Silhouette"

"Peeping Tom"

"Dark"

"Dusk"

"Empty light"

"Street Lights"

"Blue Sky"

"Behind the Sound"

"Idiot Box"

"Free"

"Motion"

"Joy"

"Sunset Daze"

"Coast"

I'll upgrade soon. ;)

2008-10-22T17:02:00.000-07:00

Oh hell no you didn't!

Ok, while browsing the TV channels, something caught my eye and I stopped. Calalily's music video, "Ako'y Babalik". What caught my eye? No, it's not their crappy sound. It's the vocalist. He's 'trying' to imitate Brandon Boyd. He even has the exact same outfit Brandon wore and the moves mann. Oh puhleeaasse.
He's not even half the perfectness of B. I've heard some stuff here and there that Calalilly vocalist is imitating Boyd but I didn't bother checking. But this one, I don't know. It kinda annoys me. Haha.

Want proof?

(Left: Brandon Boyd, Right: Screen shot taken from their music video)

Now try watching the music video. I know it's hard, but just try to. Haha. Compare his moves with Boyd's. You'll see some imitation happening. Haha.

"Ako'y Babalik" - Calalily

"Megalomaniac (Live)" - Incubus

He sure has some originality!
Two words, DREAM ON.

2008-10-17T19:02:00.000-07:00

YEYYYEERR.

No, you are not dreaming.
Rihanna and Chris Brown LIVE in Manila! I asked P to buy tickets for me. Actually, I haven't asked my parents yet if I can go.
Ok, so here's the plan, parents say yes, GO!, parents say no, sell tickets for high price. Haha. Scalper menn.
Oh and besides, the venue is in Bonifacio Global, Taguig, and that's like 0 seconds away from me!
I liked Chris Brown before and yes, I do wanna see him live and Rihanna too! But this would all be better if T.I. is included! He is one fine black man. Hahahaha. No, seriously.

2008-10-15T21:01:00.000-07:00

Pictures worth gazillion words

September 17
Platinum! Babe!

Right before our cheering practice, we decided to stop by Platinum karaoke. You all know that karaoke is not my favorite thing to do but it was surprisingly fun 'coz I was with my friends. We had a blast! Reba, being a Korean "fanatic" talked us into going to Platinum 'coz according to her, this place is where the Koreans at! Hahaha.

September 23
Graduation picture day!

After our graduation picture taking, we decided to go stop by Starbucks before attending cheer practice. Upon attending the practice, the place was dull, people were lying on the floor. In short, no cheer spirit. Haha. So we decided NOT to practice and just lay around. I won't mention all the drama that happened 'coz for me it was immature and senseless.

September 24
Happy Birthday, Bei!

You're now 16! Sweeeeet sixteeen! September 24 will be one of the dates stamped in my head until year 3000! I promise you that. Hahaha. Oh, and you better tag 'bout this one, Bei!

September 30
IRRI is the shit!

Had a field trip in IRRI, UP Los Banos. The film showing was BOOORRRIINNGG. Just had to sleep at that part. Pretty much roamed around the museum and took pictures! Hello, bus-to-bus conversations. UGH.

October 7
Happy Birthday, Baron!

October 7, 1998

You do the math. This is my little brother Baron. He's cute and he's...fat. Wait till you see him in person! Hahaha. Didn't get to capture a picture of him during his birthday party. He was too busy being amazed with the magic show.

August 25 - October 8
Life as a cheerleader...

...sucks! Nah. Haha. Cheering practices every other day and Saturdays. Splits, herkies, bridges, jumps, straddles, kicks here and there! But behind all this is one person, one genius person who pretty much constructed our whole routine. And that is none other than Ate Melai, our choreographer.
We love you!

August something...(sorry, forgot the date.)
Crazy beautiful.

One random cheer practice day where we decided to shoot extraordinary pictures. Haha. The first picture just gives you a sneak peek on our everyday doings. ;)

October 9 and 10
Intramurals 08-09!

GO Yellow Tigers! This was my favorite team out of all the four teams I've experienced working with. I have to say, this one's the best.

TIGERS!
What?
TIGERS!
What?
T-I-G-E-R-S
GO TIGERS!

We may not be champions but we are champions in our own little way. :)

Video of our cheering performance soon!

2008-10-12T17:49:00.000-07:00

Effect of being engaged.

Got'cha! Haha.

Ok, so I just finished typing some of the requirements in our engagement game. The journal, reception, church, vows, etc. I will post about the whole thing when I'm done.

MUST. STOP. IMAGINING. BRANDON. AS. HUSBAND.

...ok, I can't.

2008-10-09T23:32:00.000-07:00

Forgotten but not forgotten

Noticed that I haven't been blogging about the Incu-monthsaries I promised to mark every 8th and 9th of the month? Well, I admit I had forgotten due to the past busy months.

I won't let conflicts ruin my consistency of posting my Incu-monthsaries.
Talk about obsessed? Haha.

Here goes...

September 8

"You came, you saw, you conquered...everyone
And I'm left here guessing oh what went wrong."

September 9

"Enough bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected you're not paying attention
It's too good, It's too good not to have an effect!"

October 8

"There's something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight."

October 9

"You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said 'I miss you'?"

See? I haven't forgotten.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANJELA CELSO!

2008-10-02T00:00:00.000-07:00

mushrooms + Daddy Yankee = HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANA!

October 2, 1992

Yes, she celebrates her's right after mine's. Sweet huh?
This is some kind of a sequel to Ana's birthday post for me. (Refer to Oct. 1 post)

Ana Isabella Nombrado Deiparine

Ana has been my bestest friend ever since "Dr. Jones" was everybody's favorite song and until Sean Kingston turns anorexic. Hahaha.
That just shows how long we've been best friends and WILL continue to be best friends.
Ana and I first knew the existence of each other when we were in 2nd grade. Actually, I knew her but she didn't knew me. I even thought she was American! 'coz she has light brown, wavy hair and she speaks in straight english! Hahaha. She even had this snobbish vibe 'coz she never spoke to me. She only knew me when we had this drawing activity and I drew Lil from "Rugrats" and everybody was amazed on how nice my drawing was.
3rd grade, still wasn't close. We had our own bestfriends. Mine was Pauline Ongtengco and her's was Paola Betita (which was my former enemy I may add). Another reason why we didn't even TRIED to be friends. Hahaha.
4th grade, our bestfriends both transferred schools. First day of school came and we felt so alienated. At least I did. We were assigned to sit beside each other. We started talking. At the middle of our conversation, we asked each other when our birthdays was (kids before enjoys asking each other's birthdays ok?) I told her mine was on October 1 and she said the her's was on October 2. We were ecstatic to find out that our birthdays was next to each other. We felt an instant spark that made us stick together through the following days. We were so close that we became isolated losers. We had our own little world. Benjamin and Louie became our friends 'coz we all share the same table.
We were so attached to each other that if one of us was absent the other would have a really bad day and can't wait to go home and dial dial dial...
"...Hello???!! Why were you absent???" Hahahaha. Good times good times.
During fifth grade, we had another addition to our "world", Hen! Actually, Hen and I got really close during 3rd grade but we weren't bestfriends 'coz she had her own bestfriend, Anamae.
It was cute, Hen wrote us a letter asking if we can be bestfriends with her. I remembered that she said in that letter, "You better say yes 'coz I used my favorite card just for this letter!" Something like that. Hahahaha.
Years gone by and we had a lot included in our "world".
Finalizing all of this, we made a group called "Betches".
"Betches" is Me, Ana, Hen, Patti, Bea, then came Lauren just recently.
In spite all of this, Me and Ana never drifted apart. We may have fights here and there but that never torn us. Cheesy, I know. Hahaha.

Fun facts:

Ana loves the color apple green
We both agree that Matthew Goode got our ideal man body
Ana loves songs with saxophones and trumpets
Ana ADORES Kanye West (Refer to her blog layout. Haha.)
Ana's currently addicted to "Make It Mine" by Jason Mraz ('cause of who?)
We love Italian guys!
Ana hates guys in dread locks.
We love plaid prints!
We think Pharell is coool.
We love visiting Perez Hilton's site
We enjoy searching deep words and its meanings
We have the same taste in fashion
We both think that Mary-Kate Olsen has a weird smile
We find Amy Winehouse...SCARY.
Ana finds MICHAEL JACKSON scary. All caps on Michael Jackson.
We hate guys wearing colored skinny jeans. Especially red ones!
And last, we get each other.

...and the list goes on.

~~mushrooms~~ ~~+ Daddy Yankee = Happy Birthday Ana!~~
Best + Friend = ANA

OKKK. Haha.

Since I love you Ana, I'm going to give you a birthday treat!

....

Hahahaha! Lovies, Betch!

2008-10-01T23:17:00.000-07:00

the big ONE SIX!

October 1, 1992

Goodbye 15, hello 16! I can't believe I'm 16 already. I used to think that sixteen year-olds are entering adultsville. Guess not. I'm still living in teenage world and so not ready to enter adultsville. Haha! Being 16 is just another chapter in my life where in I'll face all the trials and tests for me to reach the next level.
I would like to thank all those who greeted me. Appreciate it. I love you guys!
And for those who didn't, your missing the most important birthday on your calendar! Hahaha.
My bestfriend, Ana even made me a birthday post! Check it out! Click!
That's the sweetest thing ever, Ana! and to P who was the first one who greeted me and sent multiple texts just to be sure that I got her greet, and to Hen who I know isn't good at remembering birthdays but didn't fail to remember mine's, and to Ruth, Bea, and Lauren who simply remembered me. I love you guys!

Can't wait 'till my 18th! Hahaha.

2008-09-27T21:32:00.000-07:00

possibly maybe

Ok, so I'm taking my UA&P entrance exam tomorrow! And I only found out about it last night! Yikes! I just asked somebody to pass my form for me. So, unfortunately, I chased on the deadline so my form was last minute, which explains why all of this is last minute! Haha. Brrreeettthhheee. Not that nervous actually. Or...I think I'm not.
I think I have had enough of the studying-one-day-before-the-exam habit. Yea, that doesn't work.
Went to PCJ chapel early this morning to pray for this exam. So, I hope I pass, but it's ok if I won't.

Ta-tah!

2008-09-21T15:45:00.000-07:00

HOT STUFF + HOT PEOPLE = YARD SALE!

2nd: Mara Reyes of Project Runway Philippines will showcase her 2nd collection. I love Mara Reyes. I think she is just...genius.

If I won't able to go, Oh no, bye bye dreamy finds.

2008-09-20T21:12:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday, Es!

September 12, 1991

Her birthday was celebrated on the 13th of September at Tropezz bar in Greenbelt. The party was surprisingly fun. Come to think that there were old folks blending in with us. Hahaha. I invited some friends. Lauren, Mike, Luis, Ruth together with Chris and Reuben came and some family friends like Jv and Mara. I met Mara's Japanese brother, um...forgot his name. It was fun naman. Me and my folks just chilled and talked at an isolated area. Hahaha. We danced to the tune of "Dancing Queen" and some old hits. It was kinda fun actually. Hahaha.

Hello Campers!

I've been busy lately which makes me super lazy to update this thing. It's not like I want to, I HAVE TO. Hahaha. Kidding.

So three weeks ago, specifically August 22 (Days before Mike's End.>Vaccum on Aug. 30), I downloaded Mike Einziger's one-hour interview on Loveline radio with Dr. Drew Pinsky and Ted Stryker. Listening to it gave me shivers and I felt that I was at the actual place of the interview. Loveline is somewhat similar to those cheesy "Dr. Love" radio stations. Except this one lacks the cheesy part. People would call and ask advice from Dr. Drew Pinsky about their um...problems. Some are straight to the point but Dr. Drew answers very professionally. Mikey even gave advice! Hahaha.

Info I got from the interview:

End.>Vacuum means "End of our perception of what life is and how it returns itself to the vacuum of space where it came from."
Jose's sister, Nadia Pasillas is a part of the orchestra where she plays the flute during End.>Vacuum
Mikey wants to watch the movie, "Tropic Thunder"...which makes me want to watch it too!
Mikey finds these two videos hilarious:

Matt Damon does Matthew McConaughey on Letterman

Family Guys' Stewie bashes on Matthew McConaughey

What's with Matthew McConaughey? I don't know either. He just popped out of their conversation. Haha.

Jose's baby was named Frankie Rose Pasillas. The first Incubus baby. Remember? Hahaha.

It's an old film from the 1980's starring Fernando Poe Jr. and my mom as the leading lady. Who is my mom? Go figure.

Innah Patricia E. Calimbahin

I would like to greet my bestfriend a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! She turns 16 today!
I've been missing her the second she left. Every time I'm in a happy and fun situation, I'd always wish that she was here to enjoy it with me. She doesn't know how much I miss her. If only she was here, everything would be a LOT better.

Innah,
Even if we've only became friends for one year, it seems like we've been friends forever. You don't know how much I miss you. Your stories, your 'hirits', your laugh, your comments (bad and good. haha), and lastly, YOU. We'll see each other someday, ok? I'm just an email away if ever you need somebody to talk to about anything! I'm always present to listen.

I MISS YOU, INZ!

Love,
Bevs

...if only I wasn't a million miles away

Mr. Musichead Rock Art Gallery
7511 W. Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90046
323-876-0042
September 8th - 27th
Monday through Saturday from 11am - 6pm

Brandon Boyd has shown for many years that he is an ever-morphing artist who possesses an innate accessibility. Insight into his journey was begun to be explored in his two previously released diary/journalistic books. In 2003, "White Fluffy Clouds: Found Inspiration Moving Forward" was published, and soon followed by "From The Murks Of The Sultry Abyss" in 2007. Brandon cites artists Aubrey Beardsley, Egon Schiele, Robert Anton Wilson, and Helmut Newton as a few of the artists that have had a profound influence on his work.
This event will showcase original paintings, musings and sketches and is the first solo display of his work.

...yet another magical event with me NOT in it. Hooray.

17, 18, 19

This is a super late birthday post. I would just like to give a shoutout to Reb! Her birthday was on the 17th of August. Celebrated at the 16th. I know it is overdue, but at least I still bothered to make a birthday post for her! HAHA.

Next, is to one of my bestest friends, Ruth. Hers' was on the 18th. We may not see each other often but we still find ways to stay in touch. Miss you Crums!

And last, to my betch, Lauren! Hers' was on the 19th. We hang-out 7 times a week! In short, everyday! HAHA. Love you, Lau!

That necklace she's wearing in the picture was a gift from me, which according to her, was the only gift she received from her friends. Aww.

one more prick then it's over.

Annoying grabe. Puro mali. Mali mali mali. Wala nang nagawang tama. Instead of helping, she just makes the situation WORSE. The only thing visible to her sight are my mistakes. My achievements are nothing to her.
~~Di niya alam, habang nagwi-wish na siya for someone better in my place, I'm doing the same thing.~~
I take that back, masyadong masama.

Nakoo. Isa nalang talaga.

An escape from all this

So much drama on the last posts huh? Forgive me for that. I'm having strange feelings lately. I do too much thinking. TOO MUCH.

So, now you know why I like talking about Incubus and Brandon Boyd. They're my only escape from all this. I feel happy and I forget all my problems when I'm in the world of their subtle music and captivating words.

As to that, here are some of my piled-up Incubus and Brandon updates:

B has found a new girl :( She's the typical "Brandon type", blonde and model-ish.

Strange but I had faced my fear of Brandon getting married. Not that he is getting married but I feel sad and shivers flowing through my body whenever I imagine B getting married someday. Stupid. I know. HAHA.
As I was doing research about this girl in Google, I found this link in Quizilla:
"Among The White Fluffy Clouds: A Brandon Boyd story"

Since, I do not know anything about Quizilla. I didn't knew what to think after reading almost half of the story. I couldn't finish it. I can't take it! Hehe.
How stupid of me, I actually thought that this story is real. But based from people I know who has some knowledge about Quizilla, most of the stories there are made up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congrats to Jose and his new baby, Frankie Rose Pasillas!

Everything we had

...played my i-pod on shuffle and then appears this song which the last time I listened to was ages ago. I just realized that it's a bit relevant.
Why relevant? Don't ask.

"Everything We Had" - The Academy Is

You were the only face I'd ever known.
I was the light from the lamp on the floor,
and only as bright as you wanted me to be.
But, I am no gentleman, I can be a prick,
and I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.

Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had is no longer there.

It was the only place I'd never known.
Turned off the light on my way out the door.
I will be watching wherever you go,
through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.

Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had is no longer there, longer there.

You saw for yourself, the way it played out.
For you, I am blinded.
For you, I am blinded, for you.

I am no gentleman, I can be a prick.
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.

Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had.
Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had...

I'll be with you wherever you go,
through the eyes of a fly on the wall.

...go figure.

I miss you.

Para akong naiiyak na ewan. There are two things in my mind that's bothering me. Actually one lang kasi connected naman yun isa dun.
Here I am, blogging once again about my emotions. It's hard kasi when you lose that person you used to tell all your feelings just for the sake of letting it out. I feel like I'm going to explode with all these mixed feelings. I have a problem of speech. I can easily promise myself to do this, do that, say this, say that. But when I'm right there in that very moment, it's either I stare or I say something else.

One of those things that's been bothering me is that some things seems to be unfair. I realized that I took all the consequences that is not even worth it.
When you think that you had find the right person to talk to, you realize that it's still not the same. Minsan kasi meron talagang isang tao that truly understands you, that you don't need to explain, you just get each other. Well, all that is left is memories, memories that when I look back to, makes me smile. Oh no, tears falling. Sorry can't help it.
I think a lot. That may be a positive thing or a negative thing. I analyze everything that happens to me. And as a result, I sometimes come up with an over-the-top or an exaggerated conclusion of why these things happen. Sometimes, I go for the positive side when gathering information to come up with a conclusion, but most of the time, I go for the negative.
I am experiencing the sickness, as I may call it, of paranoia. I am paranoid about almost everything. It's like a sickness that is slowly turning into a disease.
I like to escape from all this. I want to live in a completely different lifestyle or environment. But at the same time, I think that is not the solution. The solution is to face it and fix it. I tried doing all that I can. It's hard but I should face this because I am the origin of it all.
I just wish I can have that someone to talk to, someone who cares, someone that makes me excited every time we meet, someone I talk to hours and hours about random things, someone who makes me want to go to school everyday, someone who can serve as my inspiration, someone I could call a bestfriend.

Kudos to Mikey

Today is August 23rd, the much awaited day of the End.>Vacuum (Read August 10 post). People in LA right now are probably feeling all the anxiety while waiting for the show to start. It is now 7:07 Pm in Los Angeles, California as I type. The show will start at 7:30 Pm. Oh, how I wish I was a part of that magical event. I would be the happiest being alive! If only...

Well, at least I am like 5% part of that event 'coz there's this group in MySpace called Incufanland and they have this project where fans of Mike will send in their message to Mike together with a picture of themselves or their picture with Mikey. Since, I am 0% part of the show, I've decided to send in my message and picture. All the messages and pictures were compiled into a one whole video. The admin of Incufanland will attend the event and is planning to show Mikey the video. So there, I am at least 5% part of the show. HAHAHA.

Hey, I know this is Mikey's day but I just can't help but feel envious of those two members of the Incubusstreatteamphilippines (Refer to August 10 post) who will AGAIN see Brandon and the other Incubus boys. Brandon, Jose, Ben, and Kil would probably be sitting at the very front row. And come to think, there's an after party!

Well, people at the Royce Hall, you guys have a blast.
And kiss Mikey for me!

Cheers.

It just keeps on coming back...

Last night I had another one of my so called "Incu dreams". The last time I had one was quite a long time from now. So yea, it keeps on haunting me. (In a good way.)

I went to this hotel, don't know why I was there. I guess my purpose was to stalk Incubus. At the middle of nowhere, there was this two people playing table tennis and a lot of people were surrounding them, it was very noisy 'coz people were yelling and coaching. Browsing through the crowded people around me, I saw Ben and Brandon. They were watching the game too. In the middle of the game, Brandon went to this room and me and a friend, Hen followed him. The bouncer saw us but he didn't mind. He just gave me a 'you-don't-know-who-you're-messing-with' look.
Upon entering the room, we chatted with Brandon. To make the most out of the opportunity, I kept touching his body. Arms, shoulders and even his hair. haha. Hen left. I had B all to myself. I took a lot of pictures. We had fun pictures. Wacky pics! I even pinched myself 'coz I thought I was just having a dream. (Which apparently, I am.) So I did and I told him and he just smiled. Pictures here, pictures there, pictures everywhere. We were having a good conversation that we didn't notice that it was getting late. So I decided to spend the night with him. The morning after, it couldn't sink in my mind that I actually slept with the man I have always dreamed about, Brandon Boyd. Wait, not slept 'slept', we just slept together that's all. The bouncer checked on Brandon and I hurriedly locked myself in the bathroom, then I peeked. He checked for the second time and saw me! he called his people and I ran. Didn't get to say goodbye to Brandon 'coz he was having a grumpy morning. Haha.

(One of the pictures I was talking about.)
...I wish

Good reason to jump start my day!
...by not going to school. HAHA.
