Ateneo's 150th Year Batch 2009, Down To The World Go I

I now officially bleed blue. I still can't quite believe that I'm done with college! How fast that was. When I first got the invitation from ADAA, I remembered the times when I used to just leaf through the pages of the Ateneo course pack.

General English/Lit and Science classes to Accounting, Finance, OpMan courses to LS majors, Philo and Theo. Wooah, nakakasenti talaga.

Mixed emotions, but I feel so proud.

Precious Rellin, thank you for the calls (although I wasn't able to answer because I'm fast asleep already! My body was soo tired!) and the text messages. I was all smiles, promise!!! You're the sweetest, love. I really really miss you. Thank you for everything. As in. I really wished you graduated with us!

Gelo Brillantes, though I wish you were there to march with us too, I also pray that you're happy now wherever you are. Thank you for the memories.

Now I'll let the pictures do the talking. :)

Blue Roast Finals 2009

March 25, 2009
They say when it rains, it pours. How true could that be? Literally. Blue Roast 2009. March 24, I tried to recall the happenings during last year’s senior party and remembered that that day wasn’t really very sunny. There were occasional drizzles, which would eventually stop. Rain party wasn’t very ideal especially when it was to be held in an open field such as Bellarmine’s (JUST imagine Bonfire 2008). And so I thought, it would be very weird if it would rain again this year when it has been scorching hot for the past few days. But guess what, it did, with matching cranky thunders before I left my house. (Summer here in the Philippines could really be very strange too.)

How can I leave the house without me taking pictures of myself? Teehee, sorry for the extreme level of vanity. (If you can’t take it, then please spare your time and don’t view. ;) lol!)



It has been a while since I last saw my college friends and Blue Roast did it for us. Though I enjoyed last year’s Blue Roast way better than this year’s (considering the fact that I was there to basically pick up trash and set up the place and I wasn’t even a senior), the latter made me reminisce a lot about my college life and enjoy the company of my friends without all the acads stress. Also, the vibe made me more aware of my soon to come graduation day.






Arrived at around 8pm, but my blockmates weren’t there yet. Good thing I saw Kath, we roamed around for a bit and we took a picture with Father Ben. This is my very first. Thanks, Kath! Yey!



“Holding on to this Blue Rose until someone gives me one.” Haha! Fortunately, I went home holding a rose, which turned out to be the very same that I claimed from the team. Boo! But hey, I would like to believe that they were just too shy to approach me. Hahaha! Kidding aside, I made someone very happy and giddy that night. I’m very happy for my friend, R. I heard that she should be getting her Blue rose today! (I hope she does!) I missed you! I hope this is the start of your love life with D.

Fireworks! :)

Down from the hill, Down to the world go I; Rememb'ring still, How the bright Blue Eagles fly.
Win or lose, it's the school we choose; This is the place where we belong.

Thanks for the happy times, Ateneo. I will definitely miss you lots.

On Relationships

From this day forward, I will be "the" woman of positive energy. I will look at things pleasantly and will not decide impulsively. I also promise to be calm. :)

Warmest thanks to my superbestfriend, Mitch. :) I missed you lots.

*Okay, I might not actually become the standard of positive vibes but it sounded more optimistic than if I would say "I will try". It sounded more assured and confident. Hehehe! :)

Mad Fun At Hard Rock Cafe

Something really exhilarating happened last night! And I would have to saaaayy woooohoooo!! Fine, I even haven't gotten my voice back since the Eheads concert and I think I'm losing more than half of what's left again. I'm beginning to wonder when I would have my normal voice back.

I dunno but I felt like I was in dire need of gimmicks, admittedly I was deprived of it during the past months. I barely saw my old time friends for quite some time and I don't think we'll be going out until April. Sooo, I, my sister and her boyfie went to Glorietta yesterday to hang out and chill out at Hard Rock Cafe before we go home.


Guess who we found?? TEE-HEEE!



So that was a bit close. But this one's closer! Wooohoo hahaha! Fanatic much? Who cares? I think this happens rarely and I should definitely take advantage of it, yes? :D Oh, Ely! Haylabyuu.


Met the other members of Pupil too and had a quick chat with their drummer, Wendell. :) Oh, how I remember those days when I used to perform in various bars in the metro too. Alright, maybe not as posh as Hard Rock, but still this is quite reminiscent. Gone are those days. So so gone. Haha!

Side story: As we were waiting for them to play, Jay, NU 107's DJ tried to make the crowd even livelier by having someone (preferably a fresh grad) to chitchat with. And since we were located near the stage and was very vulnerable to approaches, I kept on stuffing and munching chips and fish and chips and fish and chips (if it was only possible to put them all in my mouth, I tell you, I would have done so!) just so I wouldn't be called (because I would look too busy eating!). But my sister and her boyfie were very kind to me and pointed me even! I was a BIT tipsy soooo.. HAHA!



Jay: Hi! What's your name?
Me: Jam
Jay: Hi Jam! What do you do?
Me: Will just be graduating soon. :)
Jay: What did you take up?
Me: BS Management
Jay: Do you have any plans yet?
Me: Hmm. Sleep and rest for the next 2 months!
Jay: That was a clever plan you have. :) You can actually make that 6 instead. Where did you graduate if you don't mind me asking?
Me: Ateneo de Manila
Jay: Alright, we have a smart girl right here. Okay so for my question.. As I was mentioning earlier, NU Rock (blah blah blah blah)
(Okay so just when he said I'm smart, that's when I didn't hear his question properly, I thought he was asking for their tagline.)
Me: NU Rock 107, home of NU Rock
Jay: No, I meant, frequency. 107 blank blank.
Me: Ohh. Hmmm.
(Of course I know what frequency means! Of course!!! And so I was about to make a wild guess and say, 107 dot 5! Why in the world do I always stop myself from making wild guesses! I always knew that was 107.5!!! I could have bagged the freebies! BUT INSTEAD I SAID...)
Me: U-oh! SORRRRY!
Jay: Hahaha! That's okay, Jam! Thanks for being so game! :)

He was so cool and funny! :)

It was a fun fun night. Want more of it! ;)

Hmm, what's next for summer? Bora maybe?? Weee! Excited!

Eraserheads, The Final Set (I Hope Not!)

I am really hoping for there to be another set. I am a huge fan of Marcus, Buddy, Raimund and Ely and so, though putting the Sticker Happy piano on fire was a bit dramatic, it saddened me to a huge extent. Was that supposed to signify something? I think so, but I really am hoping not.

Okay so yesterday, my friends and I were at MOA early to get some lunch first, stroll around and do some personal stuff while we were waiting for the concert.

The Concert

We were there early! (at around 4:30pm) and as the concert drew nearer, it grew more and more exciting as well! Oh my goodness gracious, these are one of the things that make my heart beat thump thump thump!

Listening to my favorite local band in my iPod is one thing, but hearing and watching them live is another. I mean, no one could ever replace Eraserheads! And at some point yesterday, it seriously felt like they were The Beatles!

And can I just say, I could not believe the number of audience who came for this set! SM MOA must have seriously accumulated a huge sum of wealth because of this event! I hope I was able to get a snap of the people around the vicinity after the concert because they looked like wanting to sleep outside the mall because of the frustration of not getting any way home! My gosh, even the ordinary buses were all filled (with people who do not even look like they'd get into that kind of vehicle)!

The concert was a blast, (as I type this, my throat feels hoarse and it's hard to sing along with the videos that we took last night because anything hardly comes out from my vocal cords) But I just hope the crowd was livelier!

Rock on!

Fireworks!

When Ely finally said, "Isang sigaw para kay Francis!" and the people roared, OMG. I hope Francis M saw how we danced and sang our hearts and lungs out for Superproxy and Kaleidoscope. I am not a fan of rap music, but Francis M appealed to me in no way other rappers in the local music industry ever did.

My friend Pao, who is a fan ever since she was in third grade, documented the lineup! Haha! I loveeet!

First Set:
Magasin | Walang Nagbago | Maling Akala | Maskara | Poorman's Grave | Waiting For The Bus | Huwag Mo Nang Itanong | Slo-Mo | Alcohol | Insomnia | Torpedo

Second Set:
Julie Tearjerky | Tikman Ang Langit | Wishing Wells | Fine Time | Pare Ko | Kailan | Back To Me | Trip To Jerusalem | Spoliarium | Overdrive

Third Set:
Superproxy | Minsan| Alapaap | Kaleidoscope World | Ang Huling El Bimbo

Encore:
Ligaya | Sembreak | Toyang

Shit, I seriously think i am in love with Ely. Why are you so much cuter now??? Every single movement of your lips seemed so much different. I like your current built better too, btw. Haha. (This is so not in sync with this entry, but WTH.) I hope, we could spend more time together, a few hours is better than never... Forever would be fine.



Haay sino kaya yung inspiration sa mga love songs niyo? Ang sarap maging babae bigla eh. :P

Mabuhay ang Noypi! Bogchi!

Still on an Eheads high! Here's a clip of Torpedo, one of the songs that they played last night.
