mapua bulok (nung kami ang estudyante)

music: suspended from class - camera obscura
mood: spelled my name backwards

sabi sa isang vandalism sa mapua dati:

"It's hard to be a potato when your friends are all kamote."


naalala ko lang yan bigla kasi nabasa ko dun sa mailing list ng batch namin na gagawin nang university ang mapua at tatawaging malayan university. how dumb is that? walang kinalaman sa quote ko sa taas yung article basta naalala ko lang talaga. actually marami pang vandalism na sikat na sikat sa school dati, lalo na yung caricature ng isang instructor sa isang room na medyo obscene. nawala na lang yung nung nag-repaint sila pero yun talaga ang mother of all vandalisms, pang Hall of Fame.

last time na nagpunta ako sa school nung kumuha ako ng yearbook, tapos tsinek ko yung mga rooms. ibang-iba na dahil sobrang ganda na talaga, yung chairs, blackboard, pintura, faculty, etc. inayos na nila tapos yung faculty bago na rin. tapos kapag papasok ka, isu-swipe mo yung id mo tapos magfa-flash yung mukha mo dun sa screen. pero siguro tama lang na mag-upgrade sila ng facilities e sila ba naman ang may pinakamahal na tuition sa engineering courses sa buong pilipinas on per unit basis. tapos ginawa pa nilang 4 semesters per year kaya 3.5 na lang ang engineering.

eto yung pinaka-malufet na teacher namin dito sa mapua. teacher namin sya sa electronics class pero ngayon dean na sya. si dean tablante:



i heard christian din sya. galing nito pre!

super mario - RIP

music: risk - ten shekel shirt
mood: freezing in my cubicle

there is a growing excitement for jars of clay's upcoming performance here in manila. the event is all over the internet; in friendster, christianster and some public forums. i'm filing a vacation leave on the day of the concert and i really really really really really pray that i won't be having any field work on that day. because the last time something this big happened, i was out on the mountains rubbing elbows with the natives and figuring out their local dialect. i also saw a gazillion of bugs up there, it was so many i can write a complete book catalogue of it. a complete list of ilonggo insects compiled by: evan p. gallo. the big event i was referring to was tiffany arbuckle's arrival here. if you don't know her, she's from the band plumb. please, i missed a lot already (sixpence none the richer and p.o.d.), so i'm hoping i won't miss this one.


i made some additions on the blog, i added a tag board and put some links of my favorite ccm bands. it was really neat but i really had a hard time doing trial and error on the template, i'm really not into html programming at all. hehe. okay i just found this one out. how you ever wondered why you haven't been seeing super mario the past years? well here's the reason:

music: fall on me - still
mood: was that the weekend already?

i was able to discover this mp3 blog that's brimming with free and legal downloads (i guess i really have to stress that one out. hehe) the site is indie mp3 and what's more wonderful is that this site has tons of links to other mp3 blogs as well. how cool is that! the site features songs from obscure but brilliant indie bands! i already downloaded about 20+ songs and today i'm going to have another field day (hurray dsl connection! hehe). i wish they have this same thing for christian musicians too. oh well, thank you grassroots and may your tribe increase. hehe. speaking of indie bands and labels there was this indiepop label that released some of bj thomas' albums, you know the rain drops keep falling on my head... era. bj thomas is the best, i was already listening to his records years before i even started listening to kid's praise. hehe. and since then, his songs never lost it's appeal. my old and dying cassette copy of his best songs need to be upgraded, it's starting to make weird noises.

here's my picture taken from last year, i think this is from one of the conferences that i have been into. or it may be taken from a moviehouse, i really can't remember.



if you're thinking whose that other guy on my left who is also sleeping. he's my older brother. hehe. kids, don't try this on your class. that's how you'll end up if it's 1:00pm and you stuffed yourself too much of twister fries. and someone else's twister fries. hehehe. i don't know why i have to post this, i'm just trying to amuse myself.

anyway, this summer!
