FRIDAY BLAZE X: BREAKING THE CURSE

my University org, UP SILAB SISTERHOOD will be holding our annual project called Friday Blaze on November 13th, Friday at the Iloilo Capitol Grounds. I am proud to say that this gig was born on the year we joined this sisterhood. This is our baby and now it's on it's 10th year!!! a decade since we conceptualized it, handed out gajillion sponsorship requests, pored over poster designs and ticket prices. i am just about to burst into tears as i think back. hehehe. now it's time to pay back all those who've supported us through the years: admission is FREE!!! yep! so come one, come all! have fun on the supposedly hexed day that is friday the 13th. BREAK THE CURSE!

SILAB FOREVER! SILAB FIGHT!

i know i have reposted this on Facebook but what the heck, i might as well repost them here too. following the success of Yanggaw, something all of us Ilonggos are proud of, here's another movie made in our dialect by a fellow Ilonggo. Dunno much about the movie, aside that it was shot in Iloilo. Will post the when and where when i get the details.

excited ako, daw mayu naman ni nga film. hehehe

The next one is an entry on MTV Emerge by the boyfriend's college friend. Winner will get signed by APL.DE.AP onto his label, Jeepney Music. Voting starts Nov 2!

RECAP

it's been five months of not posting anything here, i should have tons to write but i feel blank. i do have a lot of stories to tell but i just can't string the words into coherent sentences. i guess i could do it in bullet form. haha.

• got back home last May and of course got drunk lotsa times with lotsa friends
• boyfriend got relocated to Bacolod so it has become my new stomping ground
• tried to attend at least one Iloilo Bloggers meeting. FAIL. but that's just coz i was there on the very first one, the one where SM City launched their mall wide wifi, but left coz the program started laaaate. will make sure to attend next year.
• i experienced the Maskara Festival in Bacolod for the first time. wasn't much. i'll post something about Bacolod next time.
• also, i partied at Flow for the first time. it has been open since forever but i never had the eagerness to go there. they had this guy taking pictures of people and i found a photo of me up on their Facebook page. not bad for my first time. hahaha.
• am now back in the land of the free

guess there wasn't much to miss? hehe. i am now trying to get my cyber life slowly back together. how almost half a year without constant internet at home can cripple my enthusiasm for blogging. hahaha.

talk to you in a few.

HUH

wow.

no posts for the whole month of June.

and no idea what to post now. my word tank is empty. will wait for something interesting to happen. till then.

oh, yeah. got this about a week ago. if you're in iloilo, and a blogger, see you on the 31st!

I haven't opened this email for a very long time, and when I did, I have received a lot of messages informing me that other blogging community are very active while we haven't even had a meeting of our own. The meeting has been planned, since a few of us met during the Digital Filipino Event in Bacolod, and it was agreed to be on the 2nd weekend of August to give enough time for our members outside the province to go here. In my surprise, SM City invited the bloggers to join their event on the 31st, so we would have an early meeting by then, and have another one on the 2nd weekend of August.

Why is it needed for us to have a meeting and what should we discuss?

• Getting to know each other - Friendship blooms in very unique situations. Being a blogger just symbolizes having a great mind and wouldn't it be nice if all great minds are friends?
• Plan for an event - A few has mentioned to me that it would be nice if we would have an event, to prove our existence. It would indeed great to have an event, so we'll brainstorm on that one. Jot down your ideas now.
• Fund raising activity - Since, the planned event would be done next year. We need to have a gimmick to raise money to cover our financial needs. "Christmas Carol?" Let's talk about that, you must have something more creative.
• Help on the sites - Obviously, I can't do it on my own to update the site, so I would need helping hands.

If you have time, please join the SM City event on the 31st and spread the word to a fellow blogger that you know.

Iloilo Bloggers won't be successful without the cooperation of everyone within the group. After all, it is not called Iloilo Blogger, BUT "Iloilo Bloggers."

Anu man, basi may nalimtan ko ... sunod na lang nga email kung may ara gid man.

wow.

it's been more than a week since my last post. i didn't really feel like blogging lately. let's see... Pacquiao won, Mother's Day has passed and we are now officially in the new apartment. oh wait, i already wrote about that. sorta.

i am down to my last two nights here in the US. i am excited to go home but also a bit sad that i'm leaving. i'll definitely miss nene. she's been so wonderful to me, always making time, always incorporating or considering me in their plans and for always, always understanding. i feel the waterworks starting as i write. i'll miss my other titas and titos, my cousins. i'll miss the feeling of family that is going on here. i know i'll come back but leaving is always sad for me. i'm gonna need a lot of hugs and kisses when i get back to Pinas. *hint*hint* =D

leaving means packing and how i hate it now! i've been packing and unpacking my stuff since tuesday night. one of the consequences of being in a big family are the pasalubongs they want you to bring back. SIA has a total of 100lb checked luggage limit, with one piece not exceeding 50lbs. my one suitcase already weighs 60lbs! and it's all pasalubong in there! my bro's Wii, my mom's preservatives (body lotion, moisturisers, etc), clothes, shoes, etc. aaaaaaghhhhhhh!

i had to cram my clothes on one luggage and had to give some away coz i can't fit them in anymore. i was never a fan of in-cabin luggage if i have checked ones, but i now have to carry one coz i have nowhere to put my shoes. haaaaaaaaay. i haven't tried rearranging them tonight coz it just makes me wanna tear my hair out! there's only me and i have three luggages. wish me luck.

my underwear and laundry aren't even in there yet. haaaaaaaaaay.

it's been a few days since my last post. i've been quite busy, what with the move and all. we are now in a new neighborhood. aaaand, i don't have anything else to say so i just made a video of my new room. which i think is cool coz it's in the attic. i've always wanted a room like this, just like what i saw in the movies. if i'm still a teenager, the walls will be peppered with posters of all my celebrity crushes. hahaha. here it is.

i prolly spoke too low on the first seconds. just try and guess what i was saying. hahaha. if you can't, i said, i've nothing better to do so i'm gonna show you my room. or something like that, i forgot. haha.

DOTDOTDOT

oooh, i watched another play last saturday, Mama Mia. it was good but not as good as Wicked. i kinda got irritated with the lead character, Sophie, coz she kept on moving back and forth on her toes, i wanna just hold her in place. i loved the character Tanya. she's crazy fun! hahahaha! like Samantha Jones in Sex and the City.

anyways, as before, New York looks good, moreso now that it's spring and the flowers are in bloom. i wish i could get to see Ground Zero before i go home.

FOLD

i have been sorta spring cleaning. well, we are moving in two days, it's as if i have a choice. hehehe. i felt a bit sad while packing my winter clothes. i dunno why. must be the sentimental fool in me. i am concerned for my clothes. we will store them in the attic, a portion of will be my room too, which gets hot as hell when the temperature rises coz the central air doesn't reach way over there. the feathers might break down, or the rubber soles of my socks might melt and the fabric become brittle. well, we'll soon see.

i love having just a handful of clothes. hehehe. it makes packing easier. when my closet gets full, i give some away. unlike my ma. hahaha!

in two weeks, i'm home bound. i dunno if i'll be able to wear my favorite red down jacket again or my white trench, or my boots. i dunno if i'll ever come back. oh, there's huge possibility in terms of, uh, availability and stuff, but what i mean is, will i want to? i'm thinking out loud and i can't fully explain just yet. let's just say, the next time i wanna see snow will be with boyfriend, outside my own apartment. hope everything will work out for the best.

BODY THIEF

remember this? the one where most of you said i just did mothballs?

well, i found a pic of someone on the net having the same hair, accessories and outfit as i did a month ago! aaaaand, she kinda looks a bit like me too! whoever you are, i wanna meet you. maybe we were separated at birth. message me.
