Take Me Back Tuesday - June 27

(note: this is my first of Take Me Back Tuesday meme. I’ll probably be doing this on a regular basis, together with Top Five On Friday and Random 10. You can get these music memes here.)

What songs make you think of rain or a rainy day?

  • This is kind of embarrassing, but the first song that comes to my mind is Wiseguys’ The First Time I Saw You (yak! jologs!). The song not only made me think about rainy days, but it also reminded me my high school days and my first ever romantic prose entitled “In My Dreams” (another yak! super duper cheestatic prose!), since this prose was inspired by that song.

    “The first time I saw you, you were standing in the rain. There was something about you that made me look again. The way that you let the rain fall down on you, the way that you smile, when your eyes met mine…”

(okay, now you're allowed to gag!)

  • Eraserheads’ cover of Tuwing Umuulan At Kapiling Ka. Their version had that sad quality to it without being totally depressing.

What songs make you think of storms?

  • Lightning Crashes by Live – although the song isn’t about storms or rains, the title of the song evokes images of noisy, stormy nights.

Did you ever listen to music to soothe yourself during a particularly nasty storm? (What music was it, if you can remember)

  • If we’re talking about storms in the figurative sense (meaning, storms in my life), then yes, I did listen to a lot of music to weather my storms – and trust me, listening to music is a big, big help when you’re feeling depressed or angry or sentimental.

What kind of music do you like to listen to on a rainy day?

  • No particular “rainy days” playlist for me (although this is such a nice idea for a playlist!), but on rainy days I'm usually curled up in my bed while reading books, so I prefer to listen to songs that won’t interfere with my concentration. (songs that won’t put me in the “daydream/emote” mode!)

Ang Kumalabet, Panget!

I am not myself this week.

You want proof? Well, as I am writing this, every employee in our company may not be getting their salaries tomorrow because of my miscalculations. Aaargh! Short of selling my soul to the devil, I am doing all I can now to negotiate with BPI to please, please, pretty please have the transaction regularized. Or else... hmm, it could be a blessing in disguise. Maybe the company will finally realize my importance to the organization. Oh wait, wala din pala akong sweldo pag nagkataon. Syet, hindi pwede 'to!!!

My left upper back has been hurting since yesterday. I don't know why. I think I pulled a muscle there. Or because I might be having pneumonia. Or someone's making "kulam" of me. Paranoid Dyela strikes again. I was about to go to the hospital yesterday to have my back examined (and probably my head as well?) when the ever sensible Mommy Karen intervened and told me to try painkillers first. I never liked the smell of painkillers but drastic times call for drastic measures so I put some Alaxan Gel on my back. It alleviated the pain a bit but I still had a hard time concentrating on my job. I took a half day leave today only to be greeted with the unfortunate payroll situation when I got to work this afternoon. God, I think stress is going to kill me.

And speaking of getting killed, I almost came close to killing a stranger yesterday. On my way to meet Ketz in Ayala, some guy poked me at the back - my left back. I almost screamed at him! (I probably said something loudly but I'm not sure because I was wearing earphones that time. The guy seemed surprised at my reaction...) I almost punched him in the face! Which is another blessing in disguise because he was just showing some concern. (Aww...) The guy poked me just to say that something's dangling on my back. Well, that something is actually the ribbon/belt of the blouse I am wearing which the clueless guy didn't see because I was wearing a blazer. Of all the times someone was actually being nice to me was the time when I was extra cranky! (His actual words were: "Miss, may nakalawit sa likod mo." And I thought - My God, I have a tail!!!) I really couldn't blame him. When I'm not feeling well, I really don't pay attention to how I look and a ribbon poking out of my blazer must be an unpleasant sight - in the eye of a guy who probably had never worn a blouse with a ribbon tied around the waist.

All in all, not a good week for me. The Mavs lost, I got the news that Fete dela Musique will not push through this year, my colleagues will probably kill me tomorrow, I think I'm going down with a flu and my back is killing me.



(buzzer-beater shot! I get to live another day. the powers of my negotiating skills can not be denied. nyahahaha...)

yes it's true!

Red Hot Heat!


Damn. My Mavs lost the NBA Finals to the Heat. And the bad thing is that I can't even muster enough ill feelings about it because the Miami Heat deserve the championship. If only they were beaten by a team I truly hate, then I could rant and rant the whole week about it! But the only comment I could come up with is - Wade is the man! But I'm still a Nowitzki fan and I have high hopes for his team. Go Mavs!

So congrats to the Mighty Miami Heat! And good luck to the Dallas Mavericks! Until next season...

a very geeky survey

for geeks like me who’s addicted (what else is new?) to wikipedia. (it maybe an on-line encyclopedia, but an encyclopedia nonetheless! our World Book encyclopedia set has now been officially relegated to dormant status.)

Go to wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Facts

1968 - Soviet Union-dominated Warsaw Pact troops invade Czechoslovakia, crushing the Prague Spring; on the same day, Nicolae Ceauşescu, leader of Communist Romania, publicly condemns the Soviet maneuver, encouraging the Romanian population to arm itself against possible Soviet reprisals.

1987 - Hard rock band Guns N' Roses release their classic debut Appetite for Destruction.

1993 - NASA loses contact with the Mars Observer spacecraft.

Births

1535 - Shimazu Yoshihiro, Japanese samurai and warlord (d. 1619)

1936 - Wilt Chamberlain, American basketball player (d. 1999)

Death

1614 - Elizabeth Báthory, the world's most prolific female serial killer (b. 1560) (she’s not just any female serial killer, she’s not just prolific, she’s the world’s most prolific female serial killer! ha! san ka pa?)

Inx’s:

- I intentionally did not choose Ninoy Aquino’s death on my death list. well, I assume you already know this fact, not because you know Philippine history inside out but because my birthday is on the list of special holidays. (or hindi niyo na kino-consider what the holiday is for?! basta walang pasok!!!)

- I know that RX 93.1 began airing in August 1983. Whether it started airing on August 21, I’m not sure, I just assume it did!

- Surprisingly, no event, birth or death took place on August 21, 1981 – the year of my birth. Who knows, maybe someday that date will be added bearing my info – Jela, a Filipina novelist best known for her coming-of-age opus entitled (blank). hahaha! wishful thinking!

  • Criselda (aka Ketz) - friends for life!

shuffle it, baby!

Another shuffle survey with a twist. Sort of proves that I also listen to mushy love song (one mushy love song made it in the shuffle!). I wanted to quote the more obscure parts of the song but decided to just put my fave lines, so some you’ll guess with ease. =)

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess the song where the lines were taken from and the artist who sang it. - please post your answers on the comments section =)

  12. Staring at the ceiling, making friends with shadows on my wall...
  13. You stick around and I’ll make it worth your while...
  14. She holds the hand that holds her down, she will rise above...
  15. Pilit ko mang ika’y limutin, lagi kong natatagpuan, ang iyong tinig at awitin tuwing sasapit ang ulan...
  16. I was in love with you when we were younger, you were mine...
  17. I’d live for your smile and die for your kiss...

  26. And I have to stand by and take it baby, all for loving you...
  27. All these riddles that you burn, all come running back to you, all these rhythms that you hide, only love can save us now...
  28. Making love to you was never second best...
  29. I hear this life is overrated but I hope that it gets better as we go...
  30. I took for granted you were with me, I breathe by your looks and you look right through me, we were broken and didn’t know it ...

what the fete?!

wala daw fete de la musique this year. syet.

antagal ko pa man ding inabangan 'to!!!

kung kelan naman meron na 'kong chuck taylor. rakistang rakista na ang porma ko ngayon. hahaha.

sino ba naman kasi ang mag-aakala na mahilig ako sa banda?! noong Biyernes nga nasa Red Box ako kasama ang mga officemates ni Ketz, gulat na gulat sila kasi puro rock ang kinakanta ko. (ikaw ba naman ang bumanat ng Black ng Pearl Jam?) (pero isipin mo, sino ba namang hardcore rocker ang nagvi-videoke?! kunsabagay, hindi ko naman sinasabi na hardcore ako, basta mahilig lang akong makinig ng rock songs). may nagtanong pa - babae ba talaga ko? hay naku girl, babaeng babae po!!!

teka, mabalik tayo sa fete na 'yan. kakainis talaga. sobrang enjoy ako dito nung nakaraang taon. kahit na madaming uruk-hais. at sigurado ako, madami ding banda ang hindi natuwa sa balita na 'to. isang magandang oportunidad para sa mga bagong banda ang tumugtog sa fete. at ang event tulad ng fete de la musique 'di hamak naman na mas may kredibilidad kesa kung ano anong awards ek-ek ang nagsulputan ngayon. (*ubo*myx music awards*ubo*)


sana next year may fete uli.

malabo ang survey na 'to...

Instructions:

Leave your name and:
  1. I'll respond with something random about you.
  2. I'll challenge you to try something.
  3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
  4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
  5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
  6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
  7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
  8. If I do this for you, you must in turn post this meme on your blog.
  9. With a letter I assign to you, you must write ten things you like that begin with that letter :)

This is what Bom sent me. =) I include na my comments and my answer to the last question. Try niyo din, medyo magulo hehehe...

Jelaine

  1. Maraming bags! – nye! slight lang naman… hehehe…
  2. Go to an all-mushy-love-songs-concert. I can do this! Well, I consider Siakol’s “Lakas Tama” a mushy love song! hahaha! Parang di ko kasi kayo ma-picture eh! Or be without a radio/mp3 player/Discman for the whole weekend. No iPod for the whole weekend? Or no MUSIC for the whole weekend? Hmm… must be a lonely day not to listen to any form of music! but I’ll try this one of these days.
  3. Yellow – cheerful! – I thought I have a miserable life?! =p no longer as moody as before. =)
  4. Hindi halata sa una but you’re a friend whom you can always trust to be there, in good times or bad.
  5. Sa Kenny Rogers sa Megamall (my first lunch with you guys), parang feeling ko di niyo ako gusto kausapin =D Si Sir Jun lang kasi kinakausap niyo nun (most of the time) – Oh no! I’m sorry! It was never my intention to exclude you sa conversation, siguro nagpapakiramdam pa lang tayo nun.
  6. Cat? Hahaha. Naisip ko lang ngayon kasi ang puti niyo. – hahaha! I also like cats but I really wish I had a dog.
  7. I think I asked it already nung nasa Fuzion tayo.. Pero as replacement questions – given the opportunity, would you want to never have met Randy? honestly, no. he did bring something good in my life, even if our ending sucks. I’m not trying to romanticize what we had before, but some of the best moments of my life, I had those with him. I wish he had been more honest with me when things start to go wrong, I wish that even if he did not trust my reaction as his (then)GF, he could have trusted me as his friend. yuuuck! ang drama! well, the point is, I have no regrets. How would you assess yourself at present (i.e. are you satisfied with the person you’ve become, blah blah blah)? Is this question related to the first question? =) In that context, at hindi naman sa pagbubuhat ng bangko, I realized I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was. And knowing that, I think I’m more open now to try new things, especially those that I was too afraid to try before. I am generally satisfied with my life, although there are still other things I want to accomplish and experience. Siguro, it is only now that I truly understand the journey-and-destination thingie, so I know that whatever happens, whether I get the things I wanted or not, I’ll be glad for the experience.

    okay, enough with the philosophical crap!!!
  8. –same thing you answered below- ikaw? ano pang inaantay mo? tama na basa! post na din! =p

Go Mavs! But What About Elliott?!


I’m supposed to wake up early to catch the NBA Finals between Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks. Damn! I’ve been waiting for the Mavs to make it to the Finals ever since I become a Dirk Nowitzki fan (okay, so I’m not as loyal to my NBA teams as I am to my PBA team, the Ginebra Gin Kings. Mostly, it depends who my favorite player is at the moment. Oh, and also to my “anybody but LA Lakers or Utah Jazz” mentality. hehehe…). It felt awful to miss the first game that’s why I was looking forward to the long holidays and catch up on my TV viewing (heck, I even thought it would air last Sunday!).

But since I was such a lazy, lazy gal, I couldn’t bring myself to wake up an hour early to see the game in its entirety. I got to catch the last few minutes of the third quarter and man, the Mavs totally pwned the Heat! The Mavs won convincingly, Shaq looked like a lost puppy with only 5 points to show, Dirk was interviewed (just want to add the fact that he never have to score more than 30 points to win both games; everybody on the team contributed! yey!), and everything was all right again in this world.

Then I just found out I missed Elliott Yamin singing the national anthem.

*cue ear-splitting scream*

Can you just imagine the unfairness of it all?!

This one time I broke away from my obsession with reading everything Elliott on the Net (to concentrate on my other obsessions) was the one time that it was mentioned he’ll be singing the national anthem? At the Mavs game? Wearing a Mavs jersey? Of Nowitzki? And I did not see it?

This one time when I felt guilt-free from oversleeping was the one time when Elliott’s finally show up on my TV again? At the Mavs game? Wearing a Mavs jersey? Of Nowitzki? And I did not see it?

How could this happen to me?!

I got no one to blame but myself. Curse me for devoting my time rearranging songs on my iPod instead of surfing the net hunting for Elliott news. Curse me for choosing this weekend to clean my room instead of checking out what my pretend BF is up to. Curse me for oversleeping when I should have been watching the NBA Finals from start to finish!

For what it’s worth, I had this nagging suspicion that Elliott might sing the national anthem at an NBA game – but not at this NBA Finals game! Just think – he’s neither from Dallas nor from Miami, he’s a big supporter of LA Lakers (so how did I know that?) which – haha! (sorry, Elliott, I couldn’t resist!) – did not make it to the Finals, and he didn’t even win the American Idol! Just what are the chances that he’ll be singing at the NBA Finals?! Well, we know how that one turned out, don’t we? I should have listened to my instincts.

Excuse me while I hunt the Net for any pic, video or MP3 of Elliott at the NBA Finals. (wait! ta da! here it is!)
