Tired...








Very tiring... Woke up about 5:30 in the morning for my sister's recital(Some kind of concert).(Please see slide show.) I didn't plan to bring my book but my dad told me to. We went to Robinson's Place. I forgot to take a picture of it but it is a mall. This was the second time I was allowed to go in before opening time.

Yamaha, the place where my sister goes to to get voice and piano lessons, is the place where I had my drum lessons. The teachers there are very good. The Yamaha music school is situated in the basement of Lopue's San Sebastian. I repeat, the basement. Even though it is in the basement, it's very welcoming. All the rooms are closed and air conditioned. The instruments might be old but they still work. The environment is peaceful, a bit boring, and cold. I'm talking about the air conditioners. If they have been on for a long time, they freeze you. Still, it's a good place to learn music.

Moving on, preparing for the recital took long enough to last the whole day. We stayed in the mall for 12 hours, I think. In the morning, we sat on some chairs beside Greenwich. Since the mall was still closed, no one bothered to tell us not to. After my sister's practice, we ate lunch at Jollibee. We ate lunch at 11:30 because at 12:00 they were going to prepare for the recital. Me and my sister had Chickenjoys while mom and dad had burgers. After that, I went to the arcade to play video games. I met some students from the other sections while I was playing an air combat simulator.

The recital started around 2:30 pm. It was okay. Some of the students seemed out of tune but most of them were great. Watching talented youngsters is fun.

After that we went to my lola's house to get the food that Tita Kathleen was going to give us. Then we went home and here I am now writing this post.

It's late at night
Sharpcast Rocks!!!
I really don't like salad with macaroni
(or any kind of pasta)

Christmas was Great!

How we spent Christmas





It was so great. We visited our relatives. The food was great. We ate duck, spaghetti, sisig, and fish at Puentebella. We ate fish, Ham, and Queso de Bola at ACCO Housing.


It only became interesting when we came to Tita Kathleen's place. My lola and cousins were watching the movie "Stardust". I didn't watch it from the beginning but it was interesting. Moving on to the Noche Buena, The food was great! The h
am was honey cured. The fish was cooked the same as last time we went there and it was great but I didn't eat it because I wanted to try the ham. We drank sweet wine and Pepsi.

While my cousins were inside, we were talking about things we can call "paranormal". You know, scary stuff. Tito Benji told us that he saw a flying baby... I forgot what it was called. Lola told us about her dreams of "kapre's". She also told us about the mysterious things that happened when mom was still a kid. Seriously, I can't understand a thing Lolo Hesus is saying.(Though I can make out a few words) Good thing Lola can understand him.

Christmas:

My cousins shouted when the clock pointed all hands at 12:00.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! We went in to prepare the gifts for opening. We got cool gifts. My cousin Izzer got the usual. Toy guns, Tanks, and the like. I think his sister got clothes or something. I can't really remember. My sister got a doll...dude. She also got clothes, I think. By the way, my sister got me a wallet. I got a double pedal for my drum set. I also got an acoustic drum. My dad made it for me by himself. So cool. Now I can jam with my friends without freaking out my next door neighbor.

Tita Eamber got me binoculars. I wanted one long ago when we were passing stores. I never thought I'd get one. It's still a bit blurred but a little cleaning and some getting used to will do the trick.

I also got many shirts. I think I had 5. I wore them on top of each other because...I don't know. I just put them on. All of them.

I know it was a merry Christmas but it could have been better if someone at least gave me a slipper. The fact that my classmate bought a pair of slippers and gave them to me at the Christmas party last year cheered me up. I slept around 3 in the morning.

I think I woke up at 11:30 in the morning, watched a movie,
(Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and ate lunch still feeling tired.

My dad installed the double pedal on the drums. I tried it out and it was great! It was much more different than the normal one. The experience was so cool. It makes you feel like you're in the mood for mass destruction. It sounds cool. I also watched "Curious George".

This has been a Merry Christmas
This post is for Christmas Eve and Christmas
During these past few days(up till now) I can't stop playing Dragonball Tenkaichi

Boring...dude


I was stuck to the computer again. I planned to read a book but I was stuck to the computer. Anyway, we tried out the new camera. It's the one I'm using to take pics. It's an Olympus FE-270. It's still new and good. It great because it can take videos. The only problem is that uploading videos takes more than an hour. Very long. We took pics of me playing the drums, the electric guitar, and the acoustic guitar. It was so cool that I put one up for my avatar. (Click the pic and you can see most of my instruments and if you can see an organ, that's my sister's.

The whole afternoon was me trying to upload any of my videos.Very frustrating and boring.


I'll take back what I put in yesterday's post.


Vacation's not getting better.

Except for the camera...It's way cool!

Make up Post




Dude, I forgot to post for 1 day. Which means that this post is for the one day I forgot to post and today.

First.
It was better than the first day of my vacation. Since my sister was there, I was not alone. We watched t.v and ate some of the food that our parents left for us because they had a Christmas party. She was really tired though. She always kept sleeping and got mad when I bothered her. She's always like that.

The only fun I had was when Deo, my friend, came over so we can play .Hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce. It's a very cool game. It's cool because you're in a net game called "The World". It's a great inspiration to my daydreams. So...that was really fun. I think I finished "Archer's Goon" by Dianna Wynne Jones on this day.

Second.

This day started with a dull morning. Me and my dad put up a chandelier. It made the living room much more pleasant than when we had an ultra bright light. Afternoon started the fun. We went to the mall. We were supposed to meet at 5 pm next to the van but I don't think anyone minded the schedule.

The first thing I did was roam around. Who doesn't? I found an Internet Gaming Station called "Cyberule". This obviously connects the 2 events I did while I was in there. We can extract this events from the name of the location they all occurred in. They are: Internet Gaming Staion. (Pls. pay attention to the italicized words.). By the way, it was regretfully a waste of money since the internet connection was slow and the sun was staring right at the window in front of me.(Note to Self: DO NOT play at IGS's before nightfall, unless they have air condition and not exposed to extreme sunlight.

Second thing I did was roam around trying to find a book since I already finished the last one I bought. I saw the sign "BOOKSALE". They were the only two words of information I need to know if I were to buy books.

  • Book: Dude, I'm looking for books.
  • Sale: Low prices! Nobody could resist low prices
I found an interesting book. It was "Net Force" by Tom Clancy. I know it's kind of new to me but I like trying new things.

Third, I went to the penny arcade where I, again, regretfully wasted allot of money... 5 tokens is 6 pesos. There was this game I was interested in. "Initial D" was it's name. It's a racing game but different. You drop five tokens for a card. With this card you can upgrade your car and look up you rankings online.

Last, we watched the Pyrotechnics at SM. Fireworks dude!!! It was so cool.


Vacation's getting better

The vacation begins


Dude, this day was awesome! I brought my electric guitar to school and I was like a rockstar. The only thing that bothered me was that the amp my friend brought was small. I don't think it was even cut out for my effects processor( I'm using GFX-5 Zoom, by the way). I still thank him though. I mean, he was kind enough to bring an amp to school. It's not easy to find those kind of people everyday.

Tomorrow is going to be boring if I don't plan out what to do. If any of you reading this blog have suggestions, please comment this post.

I know that I hate school, but it's the only thing keeping me going. If I have a vacation, I tend to get bored easily and want to do many things. If I have to study, I tend to focus on one thing and the bore decreases. Though if I do these things, I get in trouble. Having fun while doing recreational activities kind of gives you the "I have to hurry before mom sees me" feeling. Mind you, It never feels good.

Anyway, two weeks ain't bad for a vacation...though I need something to keep me from getting bored on the holidays. Every year the same thing happens. We go to the families of each side of my family(mother and father). We eat and open presents at 12:01 am. Mingling isn't even easy if you can't think of a topic to start a conversation with.

New Year isn't even fun anymore. Fireworks don't go boom anymore. They just go *tssst tst pak pak don prrrrrrrt bam*.(Not even loud enough) . Me and my friend have an alternative though. The drums and screaming guitar!(ibanez with Floyd Rose) Last year, I don't even think that our jam session was loud enough to pierce through the lame sounds of the fireworks.Dude, we're gonna rock!


What I really need to do now is to find a way to Kill The Boredom

Hey! It's almost Christmas


Elow, it's almost Christmas and there's a vacation after this weeks exam. I'm still bored though. Nothing special ever happens. I always try to have fun but always end up bored...damn. I would read a book if only i wasn't glued to the computer. The Internet is very addicting you know. Gifts like toys don't last long. I hope I get something sentimental. I hope this one's better than the last ones.

ROCK N ROLL!!!
