-Friday, October 20, 2006- Yes, I'm bitter... So what?

Some things never change,
Some things will remain,
And I always hope and pray,
That I could change that day,
And maybe find a way,
To make you come to me and stay...

Yesterday doesn't matter,
Tomorrow we may not ever know.

[...]

If you only knew,
What you put me through,
You might not have gone away,
Have you ever felt,
Even for a while,
Something's missin' in your life...

-All I Want Is You Today
by South Border

Now, Listen to that song. Read through the lines. Think of me.
...
You can start crying. Stop.
Rewind your memory to * years ago.
Push play.
Do you see all that? Do you remember how it used to be? How we used to be?
What we used to have and what we used to be?

See, that's what you've been missing. That's what you lost. That's what you're not having back.

Even if all you ~~want~~ need is me... I couldn't care less.

p.s.
I'm going to be gone for a couple of days... I'll be back on friday (Oct. 27) night, right after my Italian, English, Math, Administrative Technique, Literature and Psychology exams.
I won't ask you to "wish me luck"... What I need are your prayers. Thank you!

Have a great weekend!

-Saturday, October 14, 2006- Where the hell did my social life go?

Yay! It's been long since the last post. I know... and I apologize for not having the time to visit all them blog links. really.

You see, I've been so busy with school works, projects and other stuffs (not to mention my TV addiction). I'm at school 'till 10:30 in the evening and reach home around 11:45 or midnight, depending on the traffic. This year is supposed to be my last year at this school... but since I "dropped-out" last year, I had to repeat 4th year.. I know it may sound stupid and most are probably saying that I am stupid for dropping-out last year, but hey, atleast I got myself back on track! Yes, I admitt, I was depressed, it's not that I could not accept the fact that my papà passed away, I did. Somewhat I think that was the problem, I immediately accepted that fact and realized that he is never coming back.. It hurted and it still does.. a lot. It hurted so much that it came to a point that I could not think of anything else but the hurt that I was feeling inside... (and all the family chuvas, that I cannot blog about) it eventually drowned me and that's when I decided I needed a break and I needed to switch off everything and everyone else. And that's exactly what I did. It still hurts and at times I can still find myself letting go.. but now unlike before I could in some way handle it better.. So, yeah, I still have 2 years before I find and define myself a jobless fresh graduate. Cheers! Yeah, right.

Anyway, last night, while waiting for our Cultura Medico Sanitario professor (Health and Medical Culture? This is the best translation I can think of), our last class for the night, which by the way never arrived, we started to do the usual chit-chats and somewhat landed on the topic that none of us have time to have fun, go out and have a social life anymore.. What a bummer. Five of our classmates are already married and/or have kids, so they haven't got a social life for a long time already (or so they say) but most of us are ages 19-32 plus a 42 year-old divorced guy with no kids and loves visiting beaches in the Philippines, I mean this guy have been to places I didn't even know existed! hahaha!

Since I switched off everything last year (or better yet since I moved here), I never really had a real social life anymore.. My life became boring. And I mean really B-O-R-I-N-G! I think I should start to auto-invite myself (what you think?) to parties and gatherings to meet more ~~new~~ (since, there's really no old people) people... Though that may seem a little desperate but then again, I am desperate! hehehe. At the end of the night, we just decided to skip school once a week and go to some place all together, (but I think the once a week may end up as once every other week because some "oldies" in the class are the goody-good type of students, still once every other week is better than never, right?) to eat junk foods, listen to live shows and if lucky, get drunk! Yeah, that's the PLAN.

While walking away from the school, all of us are still asking the same question,

"Where the hell did my social life go?"

Have a great weekend, everyone!
Have fun and always be safe! kisses to everyone!

-Wednesday, October 04, 2006- A rather long post.

Yes, I am still alive.. (theoretically, that is) and since I haven't posted anything for a long time.. (a week, more or less) this time I am going for a looonng one.

What I've been up to? Hhhmmm... Ah, before I go on with my ~~ranting~~ blogging session, I would like to send my most appreciative THANK YOU to everyone who remembered, greeted me and sent me birthday wishes for my birthday.

The late B-celebration:
Since, I stopped celebrating my birthday with parties and cakes and birthday hats and "blow the candle stunts" when I was eight, this year I decided to bring 2 of my closest (as close as people who see each other 2-3 times a week can get) friends to some place where we can escape from the polluted, noisy and busy Milan. We decided to spend the whole (7-8 hours) day at Lago di Como (Lake Como), it was actually a late birthday "celebration" since it was already the 29th but it was fun all the same.

It's been a busy week, school works and everything else...

And I'm getting this vibe (does anyone still use the word "vibe"?) that this week will be a lot more busier than last week.. As you can see, the house is still a mess... I'm starting to feel a bit lazy though... Basically because it seems that no matter how long or hard I work my ass off, hindi sya nababawasan at hindi umuunti ang mga dapat ayusin... but after this week ~~of hell~~, I probably (and finally) can go back to blogging more often. *let's keep them fingers crossed*

South Border at 7 in the morning:
BBKINGSLIVE.com was launched last Sept. 30; saturday and South Border performed as the headliner. Friday night, knowing that A. and her boyfriend will be having a whole day long date, as in they'll be meeting up around 8 in the morning 'till "let's get comfy in bed" in the evening, I asked A. to give me a ring at 7:15-7:30 a.m. just to make sure that I'm awake and won't miss South Border's performance (10 pm in LA- 7 am in Milan). Damn! She was so excited (I don't even know if that's the right word) that she felt she had to wake me at 6:30 in the morning to make sure I won't miss a thing! Gggrrr... like when exactly are shows on time? or earlier? As you can see, I asked her to ring me at 7:15-7:30 am because I was SURE that they won't be performing at the time given. They got on stage around 7:30 am (10:30 LA time).

No, as obvious as it is, I did not fly to LA that morning just to watch their show at BBKINGS, I watched it thru BBKINGSLIVE.COM (live streaming) and the show was WORTH the 6:30 am wake up call and the 1 hour of waiting (and the early breakfast and the early news on tv and the 2-3 cups more of my daily coffee intake). Really, the show was great! Of course, watching the show on my laptop and watching the show at BB KINGS are two different things but since no one offered a bed (and food) and a plane ticket, I didn't really have a choice, did I?

The boys were amazing! And the performance was extraordinary! Just like what... what's his name again? I can't remember.. but I think he was the owner.. (I said, I think, let's just call him MR. BBKINGSLIVE, hehehe.) anyway, just like him and everyone else, I was also blown away!!! (and just like Duncan, I also thank them for being there, hehehe! and especially for sharing their music with the rest of us..)

I was on the phone with A. when South Border got on stage but first "Mr. BBkingslive" did his "speech" uhm, i meant introduction of South Border, A was curious on what this guy was saying that I had to use my "translating powers" (which by the way, is absolutely weak and rusty).

A: *utters something I did not understand*
Din: eh? (I thought she missed something because I was talking.. erm, rather mocking Mr. BBkingslive pretty fast, I did not want to miss anything of what he was saying)
A: I said "WOW".
Din: huh? why?
A: You said, the owner came up with the idea of launching the site (BBKINGSLIVE.COM, the live streaming thing) because of SB (South Border)!
Din: I did? (I guess I was too busy trying to remember italian words that I did not pay much attention to what I was actually translating! hehehe.)
A: Yeah. (I think she was a little pissed, thinking I was, as always, distracted.... hehehe. because after this she told me that she'll just call me later that night so I can concentrate on SB's show.)

So, yeah, she did call and asked me how it felt? (at syempre ako pa.. hindi ko na naman gets ang tanong.. hahaha!) Yon pala, she wanted to know how it feels knowing that SB are Filipinos and that they're doing a great job on keeping that Filipino pride high, sagot ko syempre, "I'm proud of them, I feel blessed for having SB as one of the many "representative" of filipino talents, and as always, I am proud being a filipino- no matter what". We started doing the usual chit-chat sessions and ended the call with;

A: "I wish I could watch them perform live someday, and that I won't need you translating every single word of their songs to italian.. yeah, someday... hehehe".
Din: "I wish you had your own SB representing your country around the world!"
A: Awww.. thanks, sweetie... Good night.
Din: Night, sweetest dream to you two.. Don't tire yourselves too much. hahaha!

So, yeah.. Night-night and sweetest dream to everyone... and don't tire yourselves too much... ;)
(maka-intindi yung gustong maka-intindi.. hehehe!)

p.s.
SB will be back at BB KINGS on Oct. 28; in the meantime, you can check SB's show calendar to know where and when to catch them.
