currently listening to: use somebody - kings of leon

just watched panic's live concert dvd ...live in chicago. it was really good. they did most of the stuff they did on the manila concert. i bet it feels repetitive for them. (just kidding. i don't bet. haha - mrs. blanco) it's great to be able to see things up close. spencer gave a shout out to the audience which rarely happens, apparently. they packed in lots of bonus videos. i really like the tour documentary. they even greeted their fans in the philippines. i was really excited at first, that they singled us out. then i remembered that this was probably the "Philippine Edition" of the dvd. i bet they say that to all the countries. :)

their short film, "American Valley", was really random. there were these dream sequences that didn't make sense at all. what are they for? not much of a plot plus the narrator's voice was really disturbing. like he was narrating a murder story. the title of the post comes from the song ryan and jon were singing when their volkswagen broke down. it has a good tune.

we're going to my tito's place tomorrow to celebrate my grandma's birthday. i really don't want to go. i have nothing to wear! plus, there's be too much family bonding. :

things to do over the weekend:

today was a really tiring day. which fittingly describes every day of school. there are quizzes, lessons, and activities that are done daily. homework is rapidly piling up. i don't know about you, but i feel like spending all my time doing nothing for once. i have a semi-splitting headache and i have no idea what to do next. every time i do something that isn't school work, i feel as if i should be doing school work. no wonder my body clock is all messed up. can the voice of responsibility inside my head please shut up for a few hours? that would be awesome, thanks.

no classes tomorrow because of Ramadan. i'm gonna spend the free time studying for the upcoming exams.




not.

the day started badly. we had computer class - double period. i know for a fact that unit #2 has serious problems regarding MS Access. the activity for the day was all about getting formulas right and whoever gets it right can write their class number on the board. intense competition. but i gave up before we even started. since i had my average wrong, everything else was bound to be awry. and i was right. typing the formulae was useless. even if the formula was right, i wouldn't get credited because nothing works. i finally explained my situation to the teacher and she tried fixing it but she couldn't. she had to agree that something was wrong with the computer, not me or my formulas. i ended the computer period with a smile on my face.

the day continued without a hitch. i feel extreme jealousy towards those who are done with their monologue. they don't have any more pressing worries. they can enjoy their weekend...knowing that the worst is over.


i'd love to do my homework right now. but i just don't feel like it.

what brendon looks for in a girl (kerrang! interview)

you've been in bed too long if your blanket is stuck on your brackets when you wake up.
i'm so glad i can sleep until it's noon.

clearly, i was not happy the last time i posted. exams were on going and i still didn't have tickets to patd.

BUT NOW.

exams are over and i got to go to the concert! i went with mikka, my unofficial "concert buddy". we were nearer the stage this time than at the FOB concert. it was so much fun. the opening act was pretty cool, a band called "crowned king". that's something new. their songs reminded me a little of red jumpsuit but they do have a distinct sound. probably because of their trombone. the singer's voice was also good. album quality, at most.

panic at the disco was so awesome. they played a lot of their songs so i feel the concert was worth every peso. here are the other reasons why i think it was worth going out on a school night:

• they had choreographed lights
• there was a big screen behind them showing misc graphics
  
• brendon's voice was amazing
• they interacted with the crowd a lot
• they made me like them even more!

to be honest, the patd concert was 10x 5x better than the fob one. i love fob but patd was more entertaining. they actually dressed up. fob was in shirts and jeans. sigh. i guess patd exerted more effort.

whichever. i love both bands and i'm so fortunate to have seen them perform live. i sang along to every song i knew. too bad i didn't know all of their songs. i felt like a student who didn't do her homework. i WANTED to sing along to every one of their songs. damn. school work stopped me from drilling all the pretty. odd. songs into my brain. as of now, the drilling is in progress.

the concert was so much fun. being there with mikka was also so much fun. my brother deserves a special mention for being our driver. he didn't have to but he serviced us to and from the concert. thank you, dear brother. i got a poster as a souvenir. i had to take down my harry potter poster to make room for the patd poster. haha. someone's growing up.

mikka took lots of video and i took lots of pictures to forever cement the moment in history. sigh.

we got there at 6:30 pm so we had time to get dinner and wander around gateway. we ate japanese food. i had the effin' gyudon. i was not aware that there would be raw egg involveed. ugh. should have looked at the picture more closely. after dinner, we stopped by fully booked. (excuse the shift in language) himala ng himala! merong The Bell Jar ni Sylvia Plath. pagkatapos kong maghanap ng buong miyerkules sa lahat ng bilihan ng libro, nasa cubao lang pala ang solusyon sa lahat ng problema ko sa term paper para sa english! (back) so i bought the book for a whooping P558. dayum. it was pricey. it better be good.

I would just like to commend Fully Booked for stocking The Bell Jar. I have burned down the phone lines tracking it down in other book stores. Thank heavens you guys still have it in stock. You have saved me and my partner from the old english of Jane Eyre (no offense to Charlotte Bronte). Congratulations, Fully Booked. You are now my favorite bookstore.

since we're in the subject of school anyway, i have three important things to do over the long weekend:

1. religion - prayer service (First Commandment)
2. english - read book for term paper (The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath)
3. filipino - make my monologue (Elias)

i have to get those three things done. when those assignments are done, i can rest. seriously.

ok. i'm going back to Pretty. Odd.

bye!

*oh! i forgot to tell you about the exams. we have all of the results with us. i did ok on most of them. my worst three subjects are advanced algebra, filipino, and religion (worst-bad). hopefully what i did was enough to make the grade. wahhh!

hello!

i finally get to blog again after the exams. it wasn't so bad. i felt only semi-prepared....

ok. i'm not even going to try to make a "normal" post anymore. i'm too agitated that i still don't have PATD tickets. i need mikka to call me now!!! ahhhh! this is driving me crazy.

i think i'm on exam hangover. i keep glancing at the clock, wondering if break time is over and i need to go back to studying.

i can't believe we already have homework. one for filipino and one for PE. that is so inhumane. we just had one hell of a week. that's third year for you.

sigh.

*i'm trying to concentrate on reading breaking dawn. yeah. i read the twilight series. at first i just wanted to know what all the hulla-balloo was and i found myself wanting to know how it all ends. whatever. screw that. i need patd tickets.

been meaning to get these lyrics for a while now. bit different for PATD. i'm so glad we don't have school tomorrow. that means that there's no PE. gawd. i hate PE. i suck so much at sports. i wish PE was just plain exercising, not all this sporty stuff. i still haven't done my religion and computer project. goodness. i'm gonna have to get it all done tomorrow.
