..recent happenings..

yep.. shiftee's been asking me to write in here.. actually, he's been pestering me to... so, for those who are going to be reading this, my apologies.. this is going to be quite long...

i've found a new guilty pleasure in sound-tripping to (illegally) ripped Mp3's from Panic! at the Disco.. my golly!! i haven't been this giddy about them since Green Day released "American Idiot" way back in 2004.. haha!! im inlove with " I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" -- video is soooo kewl and i dunno, but their music is somewhat familiar with the sound of MyChemical Romance.. but Panic! is way better..



the latest song I heard from them is "Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" .. man!! Im soooo addicted.. it's soooo catchy.. (thanks to Lindsey's Friendster profile for getting me hooked on a new found fave)

Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part

Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick.

I hope you didn't expect that you'd get all of the attention.

Now let's not get selfish

Did you really think I’d let you kill this chorus?

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls

Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?

but still.. nothing beats the video for " I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" .. there's a story to it, and that's what makes it cool.. originally, i found the video quite scary since people were dressed in goth-like apparel and wore heavy make-up that made each and every individual in it look like circus runaways.. but still.. the video's awesome..

***************************

when it comes to Music..

New Found Fave: " I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco

Still hooked on: "WonderWall" by Oasis

Coolest Video Seen: "No Tomorrow" by Orson (i love the flashlight effect.. haha!!)

Mushiest Song Heard: "Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera

Cheeziest Song Heard but I Still Love it: " She Could Be" by Christian Bautista (it's sweet.. haha!!)

***************************

RANDOM THOUGHTS:

* Are The Killers just one-hit wonders since the only song we got from them was " Mr. Brightside"?

*Where have MyChemical Romance gone? still.. another one-hit wonder since "Ghost of You" wasn't as good as "Helena"..

*WTF is up with the "Bebot" video?!?!?

*is Fergie better with the B.E.P.'s or better off on her own..

***************************

and speaking of her..

"London Bridge" was stuck in my head last Saturday night when our Mexicali branch at SM North Edsa opened.. my golly!! the whole Caronongan clan was there and it was great to have some catching up to do.. i have lots and lots and LOTS of pictures taken (being the camwhore that i am) but my memory card went bonkers and it all of a sudden stopped working on me.. i got pissed.. ALL MY PICTURES WENT POOF.. stupid technology.. now im left with a Nokia 3230 with nothing in it but stupid messages and phone numbers.. THAT'S NOT HOW A CAMERA PHONE WORKS, OKAY?!?!?!

***************************

Calming down and moving on.. Yesterday (Sunday) was the start of Youth Month for Ellinwood CYFers.. we kicked it off with the annual Bible Quiz wherein our knowledge about the Bible was tested by CYFs.. The College CYF, who triumphed last year, was humbled by the YA (Young Adults).. grr!! we'll get you guys next time!! haha!! The Seniors CYF (woohooo!! im proud of my former-CYF!!) placed 2nd.. grr.. but it was all friendly competition..

it was like a reunion of the proud Seniors CYF alumni (from left: Ate Jazel, Kemuel, Boogie, Moi, Adrian & Jean).. Photo was taken by my wonderful daddy Noel.. the Bible quiz had funny moments too.. whenever the question dealt with Bible Math (wherein the operations were to be performed but the given numbers were derived from Bible Stories), no CYF would usually get the correct answer.. yeahboi!! we ALL suck in Math!! Wohooooo!!

Kemuel and I are enjoying our sembreak.. it's our last week of it before school starts next week again (2nd term.. yuck!!).. Meanwhile, Boogie, Adrian & Jean are still in school doing their stuff.. Boogie's from UST.. Adrian's from MaDocs (and because of his stupid school curriculum, he's NOT going to Youth Camp next year..) and Jean's from PUP.. we're all struggling college froshies.. but that's fine.. Also, Ate Chasha -- Kemuel's older sis, is on the DL!! she greeted me with the news.. a 3.4 average.. im happy for her!!

***************************

i got my course cards last August 31.. DL baby!! wohoooo!! haha.. actually, I almost didn't make it because of TREDONE.. but I managed to pull off some last-minute miracles and get myself a credible grade.. my greatest achievement would have to be getting a 3.5 in POLISCI.. just when I thought I wasn't going to be making it on the Dean's List because of how POLISCI was,i got one of them highest grades in the course!! im soooo happy!!

***************************

After CYF, we headed to this place along Macapagal Ave. for lunch and stopped at this new Japanese Restaurant not far from MoA (SM Mall of Asia).. Yasubei has the BEST ebi tempura I have ever tasted in my whole life!! The Maguro and Salmon sashimi is yummy!! And then there's the California Maki that i just simply couldn't get enough of!! I love Japanese restaurants.. and here's my top list of those who have tickled my Japanese fancies:

1.) YASUBEI (japanese food that's good to the tummy)

2.) HAIKU (ooohh.. i LOVE their green iced tea!! bottomless, baby!!)

3.) SAKURA (their crazy maki drive me totally nuts!!)

And since we're on the subject of food, Cafe Bola and Cafe Breton are my new favorites when I hang-out at Greenbelt3.. Cafe Bola has my favorite Kesong Puti and Banana Puso dip with Pandesal Rounds and my never-ending obsession with Adobo Flakes and Kesong Puti in a Rice Bowl.. I've also fallen head over heels in love with Cafe Breton's Galette Bretonne and Adam and Eve Crepe.. Ohh the wonders of food.. haha!! But still.. CIBO WILL REMAIN MY FAVE!!

***************************

Hunny.. on our next ATC date.. let's eat at Cibo.. I can't wait to let you taste their Spinach and Gorgonzola dip with Baguette rounds and their Pasta Veneziana.. simply divine!!

hopefully.. i have entertained you with my nonsensical ramblings.. good morning!!xx
