yes.

the most hardcore thing ever

"awful" [original song]

i am sick and tired of hearing your voice
crashing up like waves
i just can't surface
every time i take a stand
you leave me no choice
but to shut back up
and shut back in
'cause you are the victim here
well
it isn't clear

'cause honestly
there is no way
to possibly escape today
as much as i want to leave this moment
it's always your voice inside my head saying:

i'm an awful person
no one cares
i am awful
simply terrible
don't you dare
come near

so i'm thinking i'm gonna do battle of the bands. it's this thingie at my school where all you need is an original song, a recording of it, and appropriate lyrics. they air your track on the school radio or whatever, and if enough people like it, you get a) recognition, b) a gift certificate to this music store, and c) a free music video filmed by the school's video production class to go along w/ your song featuring YOU (so i could totally do without this last option, but a gift certificate and recognition doesn't sound so bad if you ask me).

so i'm thinking i should totally do it. i already printed the sign-up sheet and everything, and i think i have till dec. 12th. i don't have to do it right away, and i could procrastinate until the last minute, like i do w/ everything else, because there are totally so many reasons why i should NOT do it:

• my songs aren't that good
• my songs are effing short
• my songs suck
• my songs are lame
• my songs are emo
• i'm really not a solo artist. i usually play guitar/ drum for other people/bands
• i'm probably gonna end up embarassing myself

but then again, i'm bored, no one's hired me for a job yet, french tutoring hasn't started yet (I'M EFFING EXCITED FOR IT, $20/HR!!), i'm frickin depressed, i need something to do.

so maybe i'll just do it.

on december 12th.

p.s. another thing that's been bothering me. my family needs to stop thinking that i don't eat/i'm anorexic/you're too skinny/you need to eat meat 'because it's the only way you'll get your protein' crap they dish out to me every day. first of all, it's getting old. second of all, i eat. I EAT, OKAY. YES, I EAT PIZZA. I EAT RICE. I EAT PASTA. I EAT GOOEY BROWNIES. I EAT BURRITOS. I EAT MORE PIZZA. I EAT CRAPPY MAC AND CHEESE. I EAT AND EAT AND EAT. MAYBE IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT MY METAB IS FASTER THAN YOURS AND YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STOP EATING 120930 SERVINGS OF CRAP SO THAT YOU'LL FINALLY GET OFF MY EFFING CASE.

it bores/annoys/ticks me off to oodly bits whenever i visit a fam member's house and like the proper filipino relative that they are (this is actually a rather important fact, and if you're filipino you'll totally get what i'm talking about when it comes to food/etiquette regarding food), automatically assume i'm anorexic or something because i'm a vegetarian/naturally skinny. maybe the reason i don't want to eat your greasy fried rice right now is because i just pigged out on chips and brown sugar like half an hour before i just came to your house. please.

i am so pissed off right now.

happy belated thanksgiving.

my 2 new addictions

1. job hunting
2.

right when i was gonna chop my own head off...

...i stumbled into relient k's new video for 'sleigh ride'.

and although it's nowhere near christmas yet, it hasn't started snowing even in this little town of londonderry, and i just about had the crappiest day today (yes, another one...shocker) when my mom told me i couldn't go to boston to visit my sister for the 3-day weekend, i don't have a job yet, i can't drive, i had way too much homework to finish everything tonight, and everything else generally sucks 'mega-bag',

this song just put a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach and made me forget about it all.

until i just mentioned it all again in this post.

'creep' cover

i'm sorry, but i simply cannot get over this amazing cover of radiohead's 'creep', by this belgian women's choir skala & the kolacny brothers.

i personally like this version over the original, everything just clicks and it totally works.




well, besides that, i basically had the suckiest day.

ho hum

i campaigned for obama, but i honestly just can't wait for all this politics and election talk and poking fun and attacking each party and arguing to be over.

hopefully america made the right decision.

steven fiore

ok, so i know my sister pissed me off so much when she kept obsessing over this guy...but seriously. he's amazing.

i was just on my way home today when one of his songs came on and i'm like, dang, this boy is good.



ALSO this is my guilty pleasure of the moment:



which you can't really blame me for, because it's not my fault that a crappy band happens to have a lead singer with an actually good voice...

this song was also stuck in my head all day:



i went back inside my house this morning after waiting 10+ min. in the freezing cold for my bus to come, saying 'screw this, i'm gonna watch music vids instead and have someone drive me to school', and i flipped to the channel and saw this vid for the first time.

and it's been on replay in my head THE WHOLE DAY.

which isn't exactly a bad thing either, since my friend and i rocked an acoustic version of it in orchestration class today (the 'class' where people do hw/jam out instead of actually working on orchestration/arrangement), which, believe it or not, actually gave this song some trace of heartfelt non-obnoxiousness.

shocking, right??

around 10,000 calories and counting

yeah baby.

take number two.

i made the tragic mistake of giving out my URL to people i actually knew the last time i tried keeping a blog. what a stupid move.

since i am way too lazy to make up names for people i already know and crap like that, and since my hand already hurts too much from outlining 50 pgs. of anatomy terms every night for hw, i have come to the decision (for about the trillionth time) that keeping a blog is probably the most efficient decision. i can write every 4 months if i want to, or every second, or every 45 minutes, or whatever. no one will know where this site is so none of the people i actually know in real life will come crashing up to me in the hallway tomorrow morning embarassing me about something completely stupid i wrote the night before.

yeah. so basically, i'm having a crisis right now. i just decided yesterday that i actually did want to go trick-or-treating, cos my friend wendy decided at the last minute as well that she could actually squeeze her way out of work for that night and tag along with me.

what should i be? seriously? a jonas brother?
a jonas brother with a black eye, resembling where i would've punched one if i ever met one??
