90s Kids at the Fair
Last night, I was telling my friend how going to events like UP Fair makes me feel different about myself. Para bang automatic na teenager mode agad ako. And when I’ll realize there are younger people around, that’s when it comes to me that I’m already 23 yet still act like a teen. And it doesn’t seem to bother me. LOL Nonsense intro.

Together with good friends, I went to UP Fair on a Tuesday night- and Valentine night- (1) because the event (a benefit concert for the Philippine rivers) was sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity Eta Chapter, moi kapatids and (2) because they got a really nice line up- a mix of bands from the 90s and today. I thought I wouldn’t let the opportunity pass so I bugged some friends to come along. I succeed tagging along 4 awesome people with me- two of which doesn’t have a date like me. Lelz.
Charice Sings Whitney
Filipina artist Charice Pempengco does a Whitney Houston tribute.
When the news of Whitney’s death broke, I was actually thinking if Charice had already peformed with Whitney since she’s one of the popular Filipino musicians who can actually sing Whitney Houston well, and she’s been onstage with huge musicians like David Foster, Celine Dion, etc.
Well, I have yet to find the answer but this video of her singing Whitney is totally amazing. She definitely killed it.
Advice for the Loveless
Because tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, here are some pieces of advice to all single ladies and men out there. From the book The Best of Chico & Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10. :)
- Sometimes, you’re not really loveless, just loved less.
- Some things are not worth rushing, especially something that you hope will last forever.
- You won’t find someone better if you don’t let go of the idea that you already let go of the best.
- If Mr. Right is taking too long, don’t settle for Mr. Absolutely Wrong.
- Don’t be afraid of finding someone who’ll make you cry; find someone who’s worth the tears.
- My friend once said. Kung ayaw sa’yo gn gusto mo, wag kang magagalit. Dahil meron ding may gisto sa’yo na yaw mo. Quits lang kayo.
- Find someone who thinks you’re impossible to be with…but stays anyway.
- Iba ng loveless sa sexless.
- Wag kang malungkot na wala pa siya, isipin mo na lang. malungkot din siya kasi wala ka pa.
- Dalawa lang yan: either choosy ka, or choosy sila!

Valentine’s Day Pick-up Lines from Philosophers
Sure Valentine’s Day is coming and here are your favorite Philosophers giving you a hand with pick-up lines you can use for your girl/boy:
Anselm: You’re the greatest conceivable being, baby. I’m glad you exist.
Aquinas: Hey, remember when I said, “As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power?” Sorry I was such an asshole. Let me make it up to you with my tongue.
Aristotle: For one night, girl, the things Id o to you will not be in moderation.
Jeremy Bentham: Come home with me and I’ll teach you about infinite hedons.
Albert Camus: Here’s my number; don’t be a Stranger.
Rene Descartes: I think therefore I am your valentine.
Vampire Stripping Spree
Vampires have become synonymous with sex, proof-in-point are these magazine covers where the stars ofVampire Diaries and True Blood go nearly nude. (http://www.celebuzz.com/)
The Vampire Diaries love triangle stripped down for Entertainment Weekly, which is WOW for both males and females. Suit yourselves.
Apparently, in 2010, True Blood’s hot threesome also posed nude for Rolling Stone.
Meanwhile, in Twilight zone…
While the stars of vampires television hits are on a stripping spree, the trio of hit movie series Twilight Saga seems not yet ready to unwrap. :p
So far, this is the closest they can get to par for the bare-your-flesh game in the world of the undead.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Regret
That’s me putting back my shoes on. My toes hurt so I had to remove my shoes while walking this short distance where there’s no other people but our group. I regret buying the shoes. Waste of money indeed. Photo by Mara at Greenbelt, Makati, Philippines, December 2011.
Red Revolution Under the Moonlight
Last night was like college all coming back to me. Standing midst the crowd in the grassy yet dusty grounds, with a drink on one hand while watching live bands rocking the moonlight-night away. Music. Booze. Good company. Just like the good old days.
Sounds like UP Baguio Pasiklaban in 2005 (and years before), minus the icy cold weather. Gad, what’s up with this girl being nostalgic again.
Pero true story, ang saya ko lang talaga kagabi. Kung pwede lang ganun na lang ang buhay. After, sometime kagabi lang din kami ulit nagkita ni Katrina, isa sa aking rocknroll friends. Napadaan lang talaga kami sa Channel V Musicfest. Sabi ko nga kasi’y wala na naman akong life kaya kelangan kong lumabas-labas kahit saglit. At tuwing magsasabi si Inah na di na daw kami nakakapag-inom, dahil nang minsang nag-aya siya’y tinatamad akong lumabas ng bahay, oo kahit pa para uminom, naks!
Pagdating nami’y set ng Paraluman at umalis kami habang tumutugtog ang Kenyo ng “Hanggang Kailan” na sinabayan ko ng, “Oo uuwi na nga kami baby, sabi mo eh.” Habang binabagtas ang napakalawak na venue (konti lang kasi tao).
Sarap sana mag-stay pa, marami pang bandang tutugtog, at sa tagal naming di nagkita ni Inah, siguradong non-stop usapan tungkol sa kung ano-ano lang at P25 lang ang bote ng Tanduay Ice at Manila Beer! Mehn, kaso may pasok pa ang mga corporate junkies kinabukasan. Pero ayos na din, solve na sa Urbandub.
