Because I'm curious

I believe that we all are born with talent. Pero minsan, curious lang talaga tayo sa mga bagay. Tulad ko. 

I PLAY THE PIANO. Neither did I enroll in a music school nor did I get piano lessons when I was a kid, ngunit dahil curious ako, nag-aral ako. All. By. My. Self. Below is one of the cover vids I made.

I swear I'm not bragging but let me reef off to you something I'm really proud of. It was my cousin who had piano lessons. I was the most envious person on earth kasi gustung-gusto ko rin matuto but I haven't had the opportunity. After she graduated, I asked her to teach me whatever she has learned from her music professors. USER! Hindi naman. OPPORTUNIST! Hindi rin. Kasi hindi naman niya ako tinuruan. Tinugtugan lang niya ako nang walang humpay! So I decided to grab her music books and I buried myself in them! Nag-aral ako. Ayun, paggising ko isang araw, piyanista na ako!

p.s. hindi na marunong tumugtog ang pinsan ko ngayon. Hindi naman siguro mali ang ginawa ko.

I MAKE FILMS. Wala akong alam sa pagsulat. O sa pagdederehe. O sa komposisyon, anggulo, o pag-iiskor. Pero dahil curious ako, sinubukan ko. Natuto ako. Below are posters and trailers of stage plays/films that have been produced  by COM(123)2 (section where i'm from). Some were under my direction.

 

I ADVERTISE. Last year, I was chosen to be part of the 25 finalists of a Public Service Ad Competition entitled 'maiBATAya' in DLSU-D. I was the first one that was called to come up on stage (assuming? random order naman daw). But 'twas a different feeling. Very tight ang competition so I was very lucky na napili ako. Appreciate more! Huge thanks to my mentor, Charisse de los Angeles. Hi ate cha! Salamat sa guidance at sa pagpili nito ...

I READ. I READ stands for I Read Everyday And Discover. We were tasked to make a reading advocacy program that, of course, would promote reading. "As a father and a mother of this family, I humbly affirm that all the members have actively, have compassionately taken part in this presentation. They offered halves of their lives ..." How I miss PR days. The iREAD program is a collaborative effort of two PR firms: Global Visibility & Public Power. It was the final activity in my Public Relations subject. Hence, I DO PR. Here is a promotional video of the campaign:

My years in DLSU-D surely have made me a better person. First day was unforgettable. Perfect combination of fortune (cute guys everywhere, cool profs) and misfortune (bipolar weather, "feelers"). Pero dahil curious ako, kabisado ko na ang buong univ. Sanay na akong makarinig ng mga feeling conyo at trying hard mag-english at makakita ng mga overdressed (define overdressed? separate entry for this one) tuwing wash day. Hindi naman ganun ang maging estudyante ng Cavite's premiere university. There's more to that. I am mighty proud to be a Communication student and to be a Lasallian. Sarap kaya! Try mo!

And in 2013 ..... I GRADUATE. :)

Saturday is black. Saturday I'm back.

Hi all. :)

Even though it's been so long, my love for you keeps growing strong (i, kumanta). This is the first entry of the year. Uunahin ko na ang magpasalamat sa mga sumusunod:

1. GOD - 'di muna ako hihiling ngayon, gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat

2. MONICA PAULINE GIL - (sorry if i misspelled) upon reading her blog, i'm reminded na meron akong ibang mundo rito (as if it really is a different world). Gil the world!

3. SUMMER VACATION - dahil busy akong tao, madalang na lang ako makapag-post, at ngayong bakasyon na, may oras na ako. time permits :)

4. E. O. - as in Executive Optical (wow sponsor!) u saved me from drowning! salamat dahil may mata ako sa mga oras na ito. akala ko nasa underwater ako sa labo ng paningin ko. the ...

5. CYBERSILENCE - walang online sa mga friends ko, gusto ko magamit 'tong keyboard namin

6. PAY RENTS (pun intended) - eto na naman ako sa kakornihan ko, parents yun, 'yung iba kasi 'payrents' daw. kwhatevs! balik tayo sa parents, siyempre i'd like to thank them for continuously and responsibly paying our monthly internet bill bahahahaha!

Today is Black Saturday. Hindi ko naman idi-discuss kung bakit tinawag na Black Saturday. Walang something na black. Ay yung hair roots ko black na. Dark blonde natural brown ang tips. Artista kasi ako. Patay pa rin si Jesus. Nauna lang ako ng isang araw sa kanya. Bukas pa kasi siya 'di ba? Ngayon, nararamdaman ko na walang patutunguhan ang part na 'to, so i have to end this up bago pa ... :)

Last sem was toxic. I was a bit drained. Pero lagi ko sinasabi, it takes a lot more to bring me down. Di ako gagaya sa London Bridge. Di ako tulay, pader ako. (tumawa kayo!) I only have 2 weeks to spend quality time with my family. OJT ako this summer eh. Mature na kasi ako (wow very unlikely). Speaking of practicum, can't pre-register online, my account is still on-hold as I wasn't able to settle my fees on time. But if I believe in God the Father Almighty, I also believe that my account will surely be unlocked in time. At this point, some friend's chatting with me in facebook (yan may ol na) reporting about her lost phone. Itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang Chekwa. "Sa 3 taon nyang pakikipaglaban sa sakit na kanser, hindi n'ya na po kinaya at tuluyan nang sumuko ang pinakamamahal at antique kong telepono" ani Chekwa. Kawawa naman siya she can't keep in touch. Pero mabuti na lang phone lang ang nawala sa kanya kesa pekpek niya. Malaking dilemma yun. Gamit na gamit pa naman yun. Pinagpala sa babaeng lahat ang peg nun eh. Chekwa, I'm not trying to offend your vagina but I just have to make you realize that you're still lucky, girl.

So ayun na nga ... ('yung totoo, ano ba talagang ipinaglalaban ko rito?) Actually, marami akong ipinaglalaban sa buhay (e.g. Totoong bading si Piolo!!! Maniwala kayo sa'kin!). Sa ngayon mga 62 ang ipinaglalaban ko. Sa ibang entry ko na lang siguro iisa-isahin. Hanggang dito na lang muna siguro ako.

Naubusan na ako ng kwento. Nagugutom na ako. Kaso walang pagkain. Kagagaling lang ng kapatid ko sa cr. Tinutubol. Di na naman nag-flush ang gago.

Naiisip niyo ba ang naiisip ko?
