Like a G6

Hard hitting. This beat's got me dancing! I kind of had it on repeat for quite a while now, making GOOD vibes streaking by.

Like a G6 is really contagious! Produced by The Cataracts, this song hits number 1 in the US Billboard 100. Far East Movement, made up of an Asian American Quartet; Kev Nish, Chinese-Japanese ancestry, Prohgress and J-Splif, both of Korean origin  and DJ Virman of Filipino roots. Off from their album Free Wired which hits platinum honors, Like a G6 is really beat-bound to get you in the groove!

Nice, naive and beautiful

Yes. That's a Plumb song that's been lingering for quite a while now.

Something I've been aching to write about, my sort of a motivation.

And I still couldn't believe how I am thinking things afloat again. It feels as if I've been actually stuck in a moment. Painfully refusing to move an inch from it, without anybody requiring me.

I was actually feeling stupid finding myself sinking in. I was sinking in so bad it stinks. And I have been pretty much cautious pa about me having to fall with my face again. I'm jittery. Really jittery, was thinking of bursting into tears. Like right at this moment.

All the while I thought I'm having a good grip on this, only to be so near faltering now. At least I have not completely faltered. My defense mechanism's quite worked up now.

The words are racing and I begin to feel shivers. Something I have tried to avoid a couple of recent instances, failing largely this time.

And I guess I have been completely worked up too. I have gotten myself into loads of emotional juices the past few days and I'm turtle slow coping up. I'm mad but so prone.

Probably a quiet time's what I need. Away from everybody else.

Sometimes it just really sucks being naive.

Like this naive.

Fly me away

I really went ecstatic having seen all these. I badly needed it captured! :D Reminded me so much of my 20^th birthday.

And yes, balloons will always have its way in me, ALWAYS. And I couldn’t be but grateful about this day. THANK YOU Lord God for making me feel GOOD. :)

I wish you had your own share of GOOD VIBES today. We have got to keep 'em coming. It's midweek and I just LOVE it! :)

 

It's Andrei!

And I just couldn’t shut my mouth up about this. I’m like implausibly happy and overwhelmed at the same time. And I was even jumpy at some point. Haha!

Sun-shiny Andrei Felix shoved away today’s gloominess. :)

Thanks to twitter, REALLY.



Well. What can I say? Such a nice and sweet guy this Andrei Felix; like totally down-to-earth and friendly. I’d like to think I’m not only overreacting kasi the sincerity just streamed down e. THANK YOU Andrei you’ve been real nice. Wish to see and hear more from you. Get well soon.

Now here’s a cute catch: Atom and Andrei in the morning? Oh YES, that’s sweet luck swerving my way! :)

Happy Birthday Atom! :)

And yes I could have stayed in bed a little longer than usual. And was slower in preparing breakfast. Aw. That was me sensing coffee on my lips. Caffeine rush there was!

But what got me really shaken up today is the fact that it's Atom's birthday!



Oh well. He's always the good thing waking up to in the morning. Kahit palagi na ko sinisita ni Mama na tanghali na and I should get going already. Walang kaya. Hihintayin ko ang weather at traffic update niya. Then, I'd go rushing. Haha.

Hassle nga lang kasi sa buses on the way to office, always sa kabilang channel naka-tune in. Well, Drew Arellano is quite a cute sight too. A burst of energy like tweet pal Andrei Felix. :) Them guys, san kaya sila pinaglihi? Haha.

Atom's ideology was quite inviting. His exposure to journalism since 5 and Up, to Breakfast, Kabataan Express, Kalye and Umagang Kay Ganda were sort of my drive in learning its whereabouts.  It's not like I'm going full gear about it. But it's something I have ached enough to be doing. That sounds grave right there. Hehe. Basta. Atom fuels my love for journalism. Like spit fire. :)

Nonetheless, it's Atom's birthday. And I hope he gets everything whatever it is that his heart desires. Well, it's not like we're close. But I just wish him the best that life could offer.

Maybe the heavens are pouring down on us like crazy now. But that should be blessings for dear Atom. :)

Hey, I'm such a fan and I couldn't care less.

Happy Birthday Atom! :)

I want it ice cold!

I finally caught an SMB game last night against sister team Ginebra. Match up royale that is, a clincher of a ball game, 69-68, favoring the Beermen in a come from behind finish.

I was so ecstatic myself having seen Olsen Racela stroke some plays up, bringing in so much control alongside Alex Cabagnot. Artadi was an able addition to the injury-laden SMB team. Well, the big men, still big, Arwind and his wingspan, Lordy and Dondon and their treys--pretty much the old crew right there.

But just when I thought there were no major changes hitting the team, the Beermen’s parading a new head coach. Now, that’s MAJOR, really. And I see myself roaming my eyes around searching for the feisty Siot Tanquincen, eventually finding him across the fence reunited with Jhong Uichico; his place being taken over by NCAA champion coach Ato Agustin.

And I couldn’t be but sad about it given there were rumors already about this taking place.

Seeing him drawing big time plays against his former team in the dying seconds of a closely-fought game was kind of really tricky. Of course who would know the opposing team best but him. Maybe the Beermen just got lucky right there. The ball hit Miller’s feet, or could have been Arwind’s steady defense. Either way, it’s a good start for Agustin’s coaching career in the pro’s and it’s a win for the Beermen. And they’re taking it.

Basketball is a game of spurts they say. Tanquincen could have lost it some time right there and Agustin found an antidote to keep it coming. Now the challenge comes as they both try to make good of what’s been given to them.

But how half-hearted can I really get now-- my fave team without my fave coach?

Aw. It’s like beer without ice.

Stings here.

The Wrap Up

This week's still got to be cruel. And that is with no exaggeration whatsoever. It really was. But it's still a good thing I managed, ( kung yun pa rin ang tawag while RLK was swatting behind me kanina ).

That's 3 reports finalized today, with all the cramming there was. Plus the gulo-gulong hairdo. Haha! I couldn't care less.

I just want to go home and hit the bed and sleep the weekend away!

Darn I NEED sleep. Sa totoo lang talaga.

The eye bags couldn't be lying.

Cuenca Weekend :)

This picture's really nice. Nag-set kami ni Jef ng timer sa camera, and eto ang after effect. We placed it above a glass table and it gave us a sort of a reflection effect. :)

 



 

After we ate,we strolled sa venue ng reception. This is the firsh shot I took for Jef. He's kind of laid back here, like some boy next door.

 



 

Ayy, every time Jef takes my picture, I feel a lot prettier. Or could it be all in the mind?

 



 

Potch took this and it's funny coz it's from her that got that scheme. :)

 

 

And I am pissed.

Not that I am trying to elaborate some more. But darn I really am pissed.

This week's quite a handful.

I'm dealing with a handful.

I just want to get this over and done with.

After all, tenacity's got to be the name of my game.

Dalawa lang yan e: take it or leave it.

Tapos.

candycoatedwaterdrops

I am on Plumb overload.

(Thank you Emil for handing the albums to me like instantly.)

candycoatedwaterdrops is Plumb's second studio album released in 1999. And I have been munching on it like crazy the past couple of days like I can't get enough of it.

Plus it has that lingering factor like that of Dido's voice. Well, as for me a.

Everyone must have heard of Stranded. The one that Jennifer Paige did a cover of. That one's a personal fave since high school.

Here With Me, I could have heard over The Riot sometime my lean Wednesdays. But I never knew it was Plumb's. Super! I mean, super love the song!

Worlds Collide reminds me so much of some American TV series I may have watched. Or it could have been part of the long list, an OST maybe. Nonetheless, the lyrics, pamatay.

And the one's playing incessantly is Plumb's Lie Low.

Did you ever care about me?

I remember the time you looked in my eyes

And promised we'd stay together

Our love would go stronger

The storms we had weathered wouldn't last any longer

But we'll never know how good this could be

This isn't how it should be

It could have been so good

But there was something else for me.

And yes. It means something to me. For whatever reasons, my emotive juices have been on a high lately and what's funny is, I immerse myself with the thought that, at one point, maybe, out of gazillion possibilities, any song was painstakingly written for me. Like this one.

Like candycoatedwaterdrops, every song that there is, is sort of a getaway to tear jerking moments coated with our most able defensive mechanisms, like a cover up, a scheme painted in yellow.

Oh, ano ba to, PrimetimeBida?

Hay. I couldn't lie low any longer nga kasi.

That’s a bad ploy right there, really.

Here goes my Friday. Yet to begin, now harshly crumbling to pieces.

It could be the weather. But wasn’t I supposed to like the rain? Oo nga, yung ulan, di ba? E how about the gloominess hovering? Yeah, it goes along with it. Kasama ng ulan ang madilim na langit.

Ayy. Poetic agad ang aga-aga?

E kasi naman, I think that was a little off. Or I just took it the wrong way?

Wala na ring bearing. It ruined everything about today.

At least right at this moment.

First day pa naman ng October.

Salamat sa pagsira ng araw ko. Shet e.

Sige Plumb. Keep on playing na nga lang. This day’s going to be grueling.

Talk about pessimism—oozing!

On Ems' Last Day

And yes. Ems is on to her last day.

And I couldn't get a little more sad about her leaving. Such a sweet girl really.

What better way to capture everything but with pictures! Aw.




While the rain's hitting hard outside, Emil was capturing our 'masquerade' moment. Emil, sabi na'ng close up e. Wag kasama yung tiyan! Kulit.



Ayan, eto na ang close-up na sinasabi! Naku Ems, natakluban ang fab dimples mo!



Ayan. Your fab dimples are showing.

Hay. Ems. Ingat ka palagi. And keep in touch, ha?

I will really miss you. You shall be blessed.
