Enough! I say

This post is dedicated to all the people who [just] had given me something to do.


To you,

I am so grateful for what you just did.
Not being sarcastic or anything, but really, you saved me from the fires of [hell] -- I mean, boredom.
Without you, I might have turned into the greatest lazy bum in the whole world.

But you saved me.
And I am so thankful for that.


Sincerely yours,
Ian

P.S.

I'm not sure how long I'm gonna be like this, so please, don't take advantage, ha?.
XD



*Cut!*

Okay. Enough of all the drama. Here's the thing:

I AM BORED.

Music is My Girlfriend

Okay. Here's the sequel to my "No Deal!" post.


November 11.
Music was my lover this whole day!

Seeing that my iTunes library had 969 songs already -- I was unsatisfied. Hahah!
So I downloaded. More. More. More.

Hmm.. the question is, what to download?

Hindi naman kasi talaga ako sobrang updated sa latest or yung super magagandang songs kaya wala akong maisip talaga.
So I googled album torrents.

Dashboard Confessional -- naalala ko kasi si Alaine. Ayun. Shade of Poison Trees was their most recent album. Ma-download nga.
Next -- BSB and Britney. Nakita ko kasi sila sa banner ng CD Universe as 'new releases'. Matagal ko na rin naman silang hindi napapakingggan. So there.

Unbreakable (Backstreet Boys -- minus Kevin)
and
Blackout (Britney's latest feat. Gimme More)

Here's something pala from Britney's new album:
Funny, funny thing that on one of Britney's song, entitled "Piece of Me", she mentioned the Philippines! Hahahah.. lol.

The first time I heard the song, I thought it was just me who hasn't been really paying attention to her new music because, at that time I thought I heard her say something like... "Philippines."
So I googled for the lyrics.
Kitam!?!? Tama ako!
What I heard was really on her lyrics -- Philippines!
Funny, funny, funny.

Here's that part:

I’m Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don’t matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still gonna put pictures of my derrière in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me…

Okay, get over it.

*Cut*

Haaay. Ang hirap pala maghanap ng mga kanta on the spot. Minsan kasi mas marami akong naiisip na gustong i-download if nasa bus ako on my way home/to school. Ngayon blangko.
Kainis.

*think, think, think


These are the rest of the albums I added that day to my iTunes library:

- the rest of Fall Out Boy's Infinity On High (I already have some before)

- Josh Groban's Noel (Christmas album), and the rest of the songs from his Closer and Awake album

- Meet the Robinsons OST -- because I was so up to finding that ending song in the movie which sounded like it was by Rob Thomas. I was right! Heheheh..

- Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics. Ang gusto ko talagang hanapin eh yung older albums niya. Kaya lang rare find sila sa most torrent sites.. so yung latest na lang niya. Hindi ko pa napapakinggan lahat, pero 2-Disc siya. How the album goes is I think more of like JT's FutureSex/LoveSounds.. basta parang ganun yung style. Maganda actually.

- Chris Brown's "Exclusive" .. uh, wala lang. Heheh.. The many reviews of this album made me do it. Top seller siya sa iTunes Store, tapos backed-up pa by so many positive reviews -- so why not give it a chance, di ba?
Haven't heard any of the songs yet. Maybe soon. I might post my own review by then.

- PCD (Pussycat Dolls). This one's funny. I have their hit songs, BUT as music videos and not as .mp3s.. Hahahah.. Ang galing kasi. So anyway. Today was the time I finally decided to have a copy of their album and listen to it -- JUST listen to it.

- My Prerogative: [Britney's] Greatest Hits -- I missed her. Actually. *I can't believe I just said that*
She had this spark before when it comes to performing. Everything just went too bad for her.
Her new album's okay by the way.

- And then there was Headlines by the Spice Girls. They're lucky they were on Yahoo!'s headlines that day. Then I watched the video. They still have 'it' I think. So there. I grabbed a copy of their Greatest Hits. This one's for my ate. She's a big fan before.

- Sigur Ros. Awesome music. Different but cool. It soothes my mind everytime I listen to it. I downloaded all five albums.
My wallpaper's Sigur Ros, too. =p



It didn't take me too long to download all these (I was actually surprised recently with SmartBro's download speed. I'm quite satisfied.)

I'm planning to get a copy of the following some time soon:
- Kanye West's Graduation
- Alicia Keys' As I Am
- Dashboard Confessional's earlier albums
- the new Click Five album
- Michael Buble's
- and many more.

So there. Now I have 5.59 GB of music and videos. (Can't wait for my iPod. Hahah!)

The new iPod Nano is sooo cool (square-shaped).
I want it Black.
I can't wait! Kahit 4 GB lang Kuya Twit, ok na. XD
Merry Christmas!

The new iPod Nano Ad is cool as well (featuring Feist's music video of 1234).
Nakaka-LSS actually yung song!

November 12.
First day of classes.
Hopefully my last 'first day of class', too.

Only one thing is clear today:
I FINALLY GOT THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY HOLD/TOUCH/USE AN iPhone (even for just a couple of minutes).

Waaaaah. Pwede na akong mamatay! (Ang babaw ko. =p )

Nainggit talaga ako. Hehehe.
Someday. Magkakaroon din ako (ng mas maganda pa) niyan.
PEACE!

Anyway. Hindi ko pa rin ipagpapalit ang aking Cyber-shot Phone. *muah*


PS.
Karen didn't do well sa initiation namin sa BRATernity. Tsk. But she could try harder next time.
XD

No Deal!

My first November 2007 entry.
Sige na nga lalahatin ko na.

November 1.
Yey. Nadalaw ko si Mama. Last year kasi hindi. This time unusual kasi gabi kami pumunta. Freaky.
Yeah, I know that most people especially dito sa Manila eh used to going to the cemetery at night. Sa probinsiya kasi, hindi ganun.
Kaya nung nandun kami, wow. Halos wala nang tao. Puro na lang mga nakasinding kandila.
At dahil nga hindi talaga sadyang sa gabi pumupunta, wala talagang ilaw sa sementeryo 'pag gabi..
Ayun.
Flashlight. Matchsticks. Candles. Flowers. Cellphone. MP3 player.

Annoying lang, kasi mga 10 minutes pag-alis namin, niyaya ko yung pinsan ko na bumalik dun sa place. Wala lang. Naisip ko lang. At goodness. Wala na yung candles. Haaaay. Pesteng mga bata.


November 2 - 3.
Ate and I visited our house na pinagawa ni Papa. Yung bahay 'niya'. Hahahah.. 'Pag umuuwi kasi kami sa Pangasinan, sa bahay ng lolo ko kami nag-stay. So since we had the time, we paid a visit na rin sa 'aming' bahay talaga.
* malayo kasi yun from lolo's house
* wala (pang) nakatira dun

Ibang level talaga tatay ko. Ang galing. Heheheh. Everytime I see that house (our house), I always ask myself, "kaya ko rin kayang magpatayo ng ganitong klase ng bahay?"
Ang sipag ng tatay ko. Sobra. Sana ako rin ganun. =p

We spent the night there (it was my father's idea -- or should I say, request). My uncle (Papa's younger brother), who takes care of the house 'pag wala kami, caught 20+ fresh tilapia that afternoon sa aming fish pond. So nung hapunan, woah.. Grilled tilapia & bagoong.. Damn it was soooo good. ('Tis one of the many reasons kung bakit masarap umuwi sa probinsiya.)

Feel na feel kong tumira sa bahay na yun. Hahahah... the perfect house fit for a king (me!). Anyway.. sa Master's Bedroom ako natulog (shhh...) at doon, nakita ko yung blueprint nung bahay.
Badtrip. Modified pala 'tong bahay. From what I saw, mas maganda yung original plan. Well, sabi nga ni Kuya, blueprints aren't always followed 100% (I took that from an engineer, so wala akong nagawa. Ganun daw talaga).
Tsk. Mas astig sana. The original structure of the house included a covered circular veranda on its right side. Actually mukhang stadium if viewed outside.. hahahah.. pero I think it would be really nice. Unique.

Still. Okay pa rin naman. Weeee... After all, the bathroom is still my favorite part of the house.


November 4.
Grand Family Reunion ng mga Noveloso. Weeeee! Happy.
Ang daming tao!!! Wahahahah.. As if naman lahat yun ay from the clan. Hmp.
Hahahah...

At last, I finally had the chance to talk personally kay Ninong Ronald.. First time actually. =p
Anyway, member siya ng band na Parliament Syndicate (a band way, way back pa.. mga nung 90's yata).. he plays the Sax (i think). Too bad wala na yung band ngayon.
It wasn’t just a band, by the way. They had an album, gigs, and stuff before. The last time I saw them on TV was on ABS-CBN’s Sunday noontime show ASAP (back in my elem. days pa!)
Right now, he's working sa isang cruise ship sa US (still as a musician).

"Ninong! Kamusta naman, 20 na ako.."

"PSP or iPod?"

*for a split second my mind went blank*

"PSP"

"Okay. -- ..naku, patay... kukulitin ako nito sa FaceBook."

*grin*


November 5.
Enrolment! Late ako (ian=late)™
Still, I managed to get all my pre-enlisted subjects:
Rad. Bio (Mth, 8.30 to 10), and
Hum. II (Mth, 11.30 to 1).
Twice a week lang ako.. heheheh.. NIIICE.

Too bad di pa kami nakapagbayad ng tuition. Magulo kasi kung magkano talaga eh. Everyone agreed na sa first day of classes na lang.
First time ko sa bagong Midtown Wing ng Rob. Manila! Cool. Hahaha. At least may bago just before man lang kami mggraduate. =p
May TimeZone sa Midtown -- hahahah.. tagal na din ako hindi naglaro dito. 1st year college pa yata nun.. yeah.. kasama ko kuya ko nun sa Pavilion.

Anyway. So much for that kiddy-kiddy stuff. Graduating student na ako! Wahahahah...

*ay, may thesis pala. =p


November 6 - 10.
There was this day between 6 and 10 wherein bumalik ako sa school to meet our thesis adviser. Can't actually remember exactly when.
Late ako.
Marami yata akong na-miss.
Too bad I wasn't properly reoriented after. Ayun. Nagkanda-loko-loko nako nung Nov. 10 (Sat.) yata.. mabuti na lang online si Karen.
Thank God she's online! Really, thanks.

Anyway. Naka-getover nako diyan. =p

Bumili pala kami ni Karen ng notebook sa KartON.
Ang cool nung sakin. Hahahah.. Papansin.
Too bad unavailable na yung gusto talaga ni Ren na design.

Naglaro pala kami nila Fai at Ren ng Deal or No Deal sa TimeZone (first time!)
Lol. Nakakatawa kami. We were laughing and screaming at the same time. Hahahahah.. Nag 'No Deal' kami until the end -- ayun. Briefcase no. 9 --> 5 Tickets. Waaaaah..
Self-esteem level: Too Low. Very Low.


So there.. for the meantime.
Actually I have a separate entry for November 11, so I have to cut it here.

*Cut*
