Depressing Sundays - (For the First Time MV)

The Celtics lost...Pacquiao lost..and I don't have a boyfriend

this day seems so depressing..and to makes things worse I present a song that just slams it to me in the face

An Experiment

I just came up with an experiment today but I won't spill any details yet. I'm trying to stop laughing because the 'Project' sounds really absurd.


I will divulge on details on the next few days.


I'm not really expecting anything to happen. Just a few bad things such as:


-I might get cursed
-I might get blocked from a really popular social media site
-I might be embarrassed and humiliated by these people.

LOL

Ciao

Details to follow

Pretty and Rich (the Call me Maybe cover, Pinoy style)

This video is so HILARIOUS...but apparently after watching it the 'bitter' me suddenly sprung to life.

I seriously wish I was tall, rich, pretty, and had a hot boyfriend.

Oh well, maybe there is something in me that is worth envying too :)

Enjoy

The Bookworm: Brisingr

I guess I'm gonna make 'The Bookworm' a regular post and place all the books I have on stash.

Basically I LOVE books. But sometimes, I get so tired reading them, especially books which do not have a constant 'exciting' moment where in you get that feeling of always wanting to flip to the next page.

Well, for most books, the only exciting part, is the cover.

So anyway..I bought another book today. ANOTHER BOOK, when I still haven't finished reading the last two I just bought months ago. damn.

Well I bought this one just because it was on sale. It's part of the Eragon book series (yeah, Eragon the movie is actually a book series too). Well, for starters I haven't read book 1 or 2 of the series, and here I am buying the third and last installment to the series. IMPULSIVE BUYER BA? hahaha

So I guess it was a real steal (but the book was a bit distressed, if you get what I mean. Di na sya mukhang bago). It was originally PHP674 and I got it for just PHP175...more than 50% off!!!

Since I don't have a decent camera, and I'm too lazy to take a photo and upload it. Here's a photo from the internet of the book cover.

Chronic Wheeze at B-side, Malugay

Aside from my love for pinoy rap, I have also gained liking for local bands. Well, unlucky me our cable doesn't have MYX (LOL), which is the quote, un-quote, the number one music channel in the Philippines. Which is why I have to make an extra effort to learn and discover some of the new and upcoming local bands, which I do by streaming through twitter and facebook (really helpful :D).

Last April 24th me and Drei, attended Chronic Wheeze XXII at B-Side Malugay..please see poster below for details:

  

As always, "Filipino Time" prevails, the show started really late, and ended really late too. It ended around 4 am and I had to go to work the next day, but WTH. 

I guess the music scene here in the Philippines is striving, since there are still alot of kids like us who dig this kind of music and have not drowned in the Korean wave. LOL. Look, I have nothing against Korean music, but if Korean CDs have higher sales, than CDs by local artists, well then that's a different story.

Live painting by Chase

yes...it was so hot that everyone wanted to take their clothes off

book sale. I wasn't able to buy anything though, since I still have so many pending reads

 Oh my, they are the Chocolate Factory. You guys HAVE to listen to them. 

The Chongkeys. They all had matching shirts and this guy was so intense. GALING

 *stalker mode*. This is Eight Toleran / Ocho Toleran of Franco. He was like inches from me and we even got to talk to him for a bit. He was soo friendly. I was just too shy to have a photo op with him since it would catch too much attention within such a small crowd.

 

Front man of Wilabaliw. Ian Tayao. Awesome, ear drum smashing performance. 

 

the StickFiggas

 Franco. The band we all waited for, finally at around 'almost 4 AMish", it was their turn to play

Ocho Toleran again. :D

You know that weird moment when you actually saved your camera for a photo op with your favorite band members and your camera just f*cks up? HAHAHA yeah we waited until 4 AM for some legit photo ops, and this is what we got.

Fliptop - the first Filipino Rap Battle League

First time I heard about fliptop was through my brother who apparently downloaded all his favorite rap battles to his phone.

I told him, "What the hell is that?" of course, rap in the Philippines isn't so mainstream since all people want to hear are covers and remakes of old love american love songs. Most of the songs of local artists are merely remakes of old love foreign love songs and because of this the music industry is dying, or it might be dead already. Gone were the days of the E-heads and APO wherein the songs actually meant something. Why do artists nowadays keep reviving their songs? why? may they can't seem to write anything meaningful anymore.

So I stumbled upon Fliptop and the next thing you know it, I've watched so many videos and have been replaying each scene that deemed funny or "astig"

For those that think that pinoy rap is "whack", well wtf have you been listening to yo?

I'd like to say that these are the modern "Francisco Balagtas" of this generation. They're videos are scattered all over YouTube, I'm actually wondering why a majority of the major record label companies have not noticed them yet. Haven't they?

I really hope there would be one talent agency or record company who would sponsor these fellas, since they're really good and they deserve that chance. Something like YG in Korea who manages Big Bang, Tablo and 2NE1. If I had the money, I'd do that myself.

I hope it's never too late before these Filipino Shakespeares would get tired of doing their thing.

Note: I don't think they deserve to be on Youtube forever, they deserve to be recognized at a national and international level.They deserve to have albums each landing on the top spot in the local record stores and not some whack host/guy singing "Ikaw na nga...ang hinahanap ng pusoooo"..lol

Here are my favorite battle emcees:

Name: Zaito

this guy's so effin funny man, he has the heart too. 

Name: Abra

the cutest. hahaha, I've seen him improve through his videos. And he's probably one of the best out there.

Name: Tipsy D

one of the new guys. But he's really good...go watch his videos on youtube, he's done a lot of tagalog versions of english songs

Name: Loonie

I guess he's everyone's favorite. And he deserves to be everyone's favorite

My Favorite office foods

Before anything else, I guess I have to call April my "Lazy Month". Seriously, I always feel sleepy and I'm always too lazy to do anything. I've gone on a self proclaimed hiatus from writing (work writing that is) and on the last few days of my day job (before I go job hunting again for a new one), I seem to be on a lazy spell.

Oh well, so I just wanted to share some of my favorite foods at work. I DON'T COOK. Most people would bring packed lunch to work, but I totally refuse. Why?

-I'm too lazy to wake up early and cook.
-I'm too lazy to wash all the /dishes that I have used in cooking
-A lunch box is too heavy, and 'unfabulous'
-Packed lunch meals are always boring

So...I end up buying stuff at the mall or buy food somewhere else. I think that food bought elsewhere always tastes yummier. haha

So here are some of the top food choices during one whole day at the office:

I am no photographer so I've used up photos from the internet. I promise that if I can get a decent camera (holla at Sony or Nikon! which of your goodies is the best one to buy?. LOL), then I'll post better photos :)

1. Jollibee Spaghetti and Regular Yum

I am definitely the fast food junkie. This combo is definitely the BOMB! I love how the spaghetti is, it really reminds me of kids parties and happy things. And one whiff of that regular yum, and oh...I have no words...they are just so yummy. Other things I get whenever I eat at Jollibee, is their coffee float (it's a new one, I guess), the tuna pie, and the EPIC peach-mango pie.

2. Chocnut

  

 If other countries have M&Ms and Hershey's Kisses, well here in Manila we have Chocnut! No explanation needed, it's just chocolate and peanuts combined and it is AWESOME. It's the perfect comfort food at any time of the day and I will never get tired or it. This chocolate deserves a place at the 'Philippine Candy Hall of Fame' (if there is one). If you want you can send me an email or a tweet and I'll ship one pack to you. (I'm serious).

3. Great Taste White Coffee

 

I have no time and money to buy Starbucks, even if I am so inlove with Cafe Americano; and because of that I settle with those instant 3-in-1 coffee pouches. My favorite is Great Taste's White Coffee, I think it has more cream in it? Well nevertheless it's great, and it's cheap. I could drink three of these babies in one day at the office. Well, not so much now since it's summer and it's always scorching hot.

4. Nips

 Now you know how much of a junk food addict I am. So NIPS! It's like the local version of an M&M candy, but of course it's way cheaper. It's fun to munch on these babies especially when your stressed out or felling bad vibes on someone at the office.

5. Eggnog by Monde

The sweetest cookie on earth = EGGNOG. Seriously, these are like the things I always eat during dull times when no one wants to talk to me because they are so busy. Pair it up with hot chocolate of Great Taste White Coffee, my day couldn't get any better.

These are top five foods when I'm at the office. How about you? What do love to eat?
