Full Cup Cafe

Our first ever gig. Sa Intramuros, Maynila.
 
 Naalala ko tuloy yung tinanong ko sa manong nung di namin makita yung lugar nung Thursday.
 
Odet: Manong, san po dito yung REAL ST.? (real as in totoo, true, genuine)
Manong: Ahh..yung REAL? (as in RE-YAL')
Odet: Ah...yun na nga po.
Pez (pabulong): Pa-conyo pa kasi e...tsk tsk.
 
O anyways...nag-audition kami. Gusto nang mag-back out ng aking guitarist non. Kitang kita ko pa nga yung pawis sa tuktok at ilalim ng ilong nya e. Ibig sabihin, kinakabahan nga sya. So ako naman...pa-relax relax kunwari. Pero dip insayd op mi, I AM IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION. WALA AKO DITO NGAYON. WALA. 
 
Everything went well. I don't have any idea how many bands auditioned. A basta wala akong pake. Basta tanggap, tanggap!
 
Hindi makapag-drive si Pez sa saya. Nanlalambot pa daw yung mga kamay nya. Maya-maya na daw kami umalis. Hehe. Tinatablan pa pala sya non no? (peace tayo!)
 
Tapos kanina...
 
Full Cup Cafe in akustik mode. Asteeg ang set-up nila. Napaka-cozy ng dating. Feeling close tuloy ang lahat. Tapos, libre yung pagkain namin kasi nga tumugtog kami. Yumyum yung iced tea! Pero napansin ko lang yon nung tapos na kaming tumugtog.
 
Kasi pagdating namin don, ayun, tinamaan na ng lintik. Sumakit ang tiyan ko ng matindi, tapos nasusuka ako. Gross no?
 
Kanina ko lang din na-realize, (while taking my preliminary exams in Filipino II) I already missed 2 quizzes in Filipino, (kasi naman, di ko naman alam na quiz yon, di tuloy ako nagpasa ng papel hehe) tapos 2 drawing sessions/recitation in Art Appreciation. Pero this is definitely worth it.
 


Kuya Leslie took this picture. At humarap ang lola moh!
 


Pag sa malayo pala, para akong lalake tignan.

 
*Malaking THANK YOU (all caps, kasi malaki) kina Ate Dins at Kuya Den, Kuya Les at Ate Azela, Meg at Theto, Pez at Dyann. Pati na rin syempre sa mga PRESEN-CIALLY PRESENT na sina Ate Chie, Ate Des, Francia, Ellen, Celine at Jonas. Salamat sa prayers, text messages at phone calls. :)
 
**May bago akong crush. Si MOZART!!! Yah. Nakakaloka ang pangalan nya no? Isa syang 2nd year ECE student ng UST (so ATE ang tawag nya sa ken, waaaah!!). At, member ng dance troupe. Cute cute nya. Gigil. One day, i'll post a picture of us together. Yikeeee! Uy kilig, uy kinikilig!

Weehoo! Ang saya saya ko. Nakabuo na kami ng kanta sa wakas. Sa mga DUDEs ko, apir muna dyan! Umph. Umph.

Para akong nasa CLOUD 9, seventh heaven, o 3rd rock from the sun...sa saya.

So eto ang 2/4 namin.

Eto si Joseph/Pez/Bass o Vase

At naka-pout. Dapat talagang naka-pout no Pez?

Jonas/Lead

 
Guitar showcase!

Akin, kay Jonas, kay Pez. Ok ba yung arrangement? ako nag-ayos nyaaan! (haha kaya magulo)
 
Ang bunga ng practice namin nung Sabado sa aming mumunting sala. ;)

PURPLE PAINTED WORLD (syempre dapat purple)
 
TAKE ME AWAY
TAKE ME FAR AWAY FROM HERE
I NEED YOU TO STAY
I NEED YOU TO STAY AND TELL ME
 
THAT I AM LOVED
THAT I AM FREE
THAT I AM WANTED BY THE ONE WHO IS WITH ME!
 
WE'LL LIVE IN A HOUSE
WE'LL LIVE IN A PURPLE PAINTED WORLD
I'D EAT ALL I WANT
THEY'D DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY ARE TOLD
 
YOU MIGHT SAY
THAT I AM A DREAMER
DADDY JOHN IS NEVER WRONG
PENNY LANE
IS NOW A MOTHER
TINY DANCER IN MY HAND
 
I'LL BE A STAR
I'LL BE A STAR IN HOLLYWOOD
YOU'LL LOOK ME UP
YOU'LL LOOK ME UP IN PAGES OF
COSMO, VANITY FAIR
NO ONE WILL EVER COMPARE
TO PEOPLE LIKE ME
BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU
 
*narinig nila Ate Dins at Kuya Den yung song, (we recorded about 8 versions of it!) ayokong matuwa masyado pero..) akala daw ni Ate Dins e, cover ng song ni Cynthia A. Oh man!
 
P.S.
Ang inspirasyon ng kantang ito ay ang PURPLE BLOGS ni Ate Des. Hehe. Thanks Ate.

 

Fresh na fresh (according to me)!: Meet the Parents (De Niro and Stiller) has a sequel. MEET THE FOCKERS. Title pa lang, patawa na di ba? This should be funny. Alala mo yung scene na natamaan ni Greg (Stiller) yung pinsan ni Pam habang naglalaro ng volleyball....blood was all over her face! Dude pare, tindi.

I REMEMBER YOU by SKID ROW
 
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time, you were there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand
I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, I remember you

We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said "I love you babe," without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile, and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all, we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, I remember you

Yahoo!! Nasa aking mumunting kamay na ang IR PORT koh!! Muahahaha. Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nyan. PICHUR PICHUR naaa!!
 
Eto ang iba't ibang AREAS ng buhay ko. Bakit iba't ibang areas? Kasi iba't ibang lugar. :)
 
Una sa DORM, na according to SOR ELISA da mayti direktres, ay aming 'home away from home'. Oha, di bah, anong say mo? (sinong nakakaalala ng kantang to, taas kamay.)

Queens, Paperback Writah, Celine da roommate.
Yellow ang kulay ng mga t-shirts namin. Hawak ni Queens ang dilaw na unan. Hawak ko ang King Jim Lil Notbuk ko. Hawak ni Celine ang Best Buy Yellow Pad. Tapos kumanta si Chris Martin, 'LUK-AT-DA-STARSSS-LUK-HAW-DEY-SHAYN-POR-YU...EN-IT-WAS-COLD-YELLOW'. 

Yan si Queeniegurl. Gamit nya dyan yung mga 'gifts' ko sa kanya nung palabunutan naming tatlong rooms sa dorm. Nasa wishlist nya e puro kakikayan. Kaya hala, deretso sa Espana overpass at bumili ng sangkaterbang ipits, suklay at salamin hanggang umabot ng 100pesos. Edi solb! 

Di ko inakalang kinuhanan pala ako ng pichur nito. Aba! E naglalaro lang naman ako sa tapat ng Hanabishi Electric Fan ko ah.
 
O CLASSROOM naman! Tama, ArtApp class ulit under Dr. Picart. Groupwork tapos may report daw after. So kodakan muna kami habang walang ginagawa!! Hahaha! 

June (perpetual seatmate kasi ADOR ang apelido), Charisse (now with straight hair), Akow (with overgrown bangs), Vanjo (rice-in-a-box-boy), at Faith (cavite gurl).

Hulaan kung sinong gumagamit KIWI Shoe Shine sa min. Makahula, libreng shoe. Shine.
 
At syempre ang BUMS! Kahit overdue na, kyut pa rin. 

KuLes (Diego Rivera ng Pinas. Weehoo!), Ate Des (ever lovable chat buddy kahit madaling araw na), at Ate Chie (inlababogurl). Taken at TM. Tapos may naka-green sa likod.
   

Kitang kita ang galak sa bawat isa dahil sa Anino! 
 

Eto mga ilang litratos of my superfriend ThetoPotato. 

...And this is what i call 'TULOG TULOGAN SCHOOL OF ACTING'.

At minaliit si Johnny A.

Waw ang sarap magblog nang may pictures ulet. Feeling ko, buhay na buhay na naman ako. Kodak you, kodak me, kodak wan-tu-tri!
 
 

Currently listening to: The Reason by HOOBASTANK  (simula kanina pang tanghali, di pa rin naman ako nasusuka...goosebumps pa rin everytime i hear this song)
 
Currently in love with: Diego Luna (te amo)
 
Currently looking for: my glasses - nawawala na naman!!
 
Currently scratching: my head - i haven't combed yet since i took a bath 3 hours ago (pero ayan kukuha na ng suklay o....)

Current LSS: What You Are by Audioslave

Hi mga friendsters!!
 
Last night, my classmates and I went to the UST Freshmen Party. MYMP was there. They played about 8 songs.
 
Eto ha.
 
I am not really a fan of acoustic bands. Depende na din siguro kung meron silang kakaibang superpowers sa pagtugtog. E kasi naman...ala na silang ginawa kundi magrevive ng magrevive ng OVERJOYED, OFFICIALLY MISSING YOU, I'LL BE (asuskupoh) at kung anu-ano pang mga kantang halos araw-araw e naririnig sa radyo ngayon.
 
But MYMP's renditions were fresh, different. Juris' (vocalist) voice ALMOST sounds like Kyla's...only rougher. And thinner. But the good thing is, CARRY ng lola moh! In short, the band is good. Ok pati ang tugtugan. Kahit ilang beses ko nang narinig ang HANDS TO HEAVEN at WAITING IN VAIN (with matching Jamaican accent! as in 'ah do wanna we-it in ven foh yoh lov), nung tinugtog ng MYMP, parang ssshhiinnnnggg!!! ABA, pres (fresh) na pres ito ah!
 
Pero syempre, ang pinakaaabangan ng lahat, yung first single nila na A LITTLE BIT. Hindi yung A LITTLE BIT OF ECSTASY ha. Halos mayanig ang Uste dahil sa kantang to. Hanggang patawid na ko pauwing dorm, naririnig ko pa rin ang sigawan ng mga tao.
 
'im a little bit of crazy, i'm a little bit of a fool
i'm a little bit of lonely, i'm a little bit of all
oh i need a cure
just a little bit of you
and i will faalll....'
 
Ayokong maging mushy! Ayokong maging cheesy! Ayoko!

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE by JET

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Ang ganda ng comment ni Ate Dinah. Napa-isip ako. Hmmm...

Eto yung comment nya:

"Sa buhay naman, kasalanan mo man o hinde ang mga bagay na nangyayari sa yo, alam mong nandyan lang ang mga kaibigang patuloy kang pasasayahin, patatawanin, babatukan, jojombagin, kikilitiin..."

oo, det, madaya talaga ang buhay.

pero i get comfort in knowing who my real friends are, and who are my enemies pretending to be friends. at least di nya alam na alam kong deep inside gusto nya kong patayin kahit smile to death sya sa harap ko. well, smile to death din ako. hehe.

pero sad, oh so sad talaga...

==============

I know Ate Dins and I are talking about two different situations here. But I am sure we all feel this way sometimes. Pero sabi nga ni Jewel sa isang kanta nya, '...sometimes it be that way...'

Parang mapapatanong ka..."WALA NAMAN AKONG GINAGAWA AH! BAKIT NANGYAYARI SA KIN TO? BATET???"

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: VINDICATED by DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right

I swear I knew it all along

SPIDERMAN 2

ASTIG TO THE HIGHEST POWER.

Kelangan ko lang talagang pansinin yung outfit ni MJ dito. Sooobrang cute.

Sa tingin ko, masayahin naman akong tao...mababaw...walang kaaway (kung meron, ipagbigay alam)...

PERO SADYANG MADAYA MINSAN ANG BUHAY.

Parang pagda-drive...kahit gaano ka kaingat, darating at darating ang panahon na magagasgasan din ang sasakyan mo.

Sa buhay naman, kasalanan mo man o hinde ang mga bagay na nangyayari sa yo, alam mong nandyan lang ang mga kaibigang patuloy kang pasasayahin, patatawanin, babatukan, jojombagin, kikilitiin...

KAYA TULOY PA RIN.
