Chillin' with Guji

Saturdays and Sundays, 5pm-8pm at Mellow 94.7. At last, DJ Guji! First saw Guji in an afternoon series of ABS-CBN, Bud Brothers. His character portrayal as Rei is so adorable that minutes later I find myself actually google-ing him already. And here’s what I discovered about Guji. That he is, in fact, a DJ for real! And so last Sunday, I got to finally hear him on his show. It’s pretty much…err, yeah, chillin’ time. Although when I tuned in to the show, it’s almost nearing the end so I didn’t really gauged how good or fitting it was for me. I still have to see in the future.

Diploma

Nahaaks!! Just got this last Friday, more than a year after graduation. Who’d have thought that this piece of paper…is just a piece of paper?! And one more thing, I never thought it would be written in Filipino. :) Nah, anyway, I had it translated for my graduate studies applications.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

I just learned how to play this song in my violin class today, which was my second session. I am so happy and I’m pretty much getting the hang of playing the violin! All thanks to my nice and brilliant teacher, Ms. Crissie. Keyword for the day: RELAX. Keeping this in mind for the rest of the session, I was able to play pretty well. In fact, the teacher teased me about playing in the recital at the end of the semester. Whoah! And I bet I’ll be playing together with 7-year old kids. No way! Haha. But of course, occasional squeaky sounds can not be avoided by a beginner. :) Way to go!

Crossing the Rubicon

I am about to cross the Rubicon. Actually, I just made the first step. My Mom called and I told her that I have decided to go there by September. This is definitely a big big move in this time of my life. Uncertain if I am making a right move, I am willing to take the risk. Just thinking that I’d eventually leave Mama, Tatay, Ninang, and the rest of the gang back home makes me cry buckets already! Like right now, I am. The kind that actually hurts my eyes because of the salinity of tears…


It can be helped, but sometimes it really can’t be helped. I have to move on with my life. Spending my time more than a year after graduation without accomplishing that much makes me feel like a dumbass. Nevertheless, I am just so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends. If only I can do that for the rest of my life, not having to earn a living at all, and still live with dignity. Deep inside, I know that’s what will make me really happy…just spend time with Mama and the gang. Oh shoot…how I wish I was born FILTHY rich! But, life says it just has to be this way. Go by the book. To the letters. In time, I’ll prove life wrong.

Bratislava 2009

One Thursday afternoon in a simple and peaceful city in Slovakia.

Viva Venezia!

We were in Venice for a day last Saturday with my Mom and her friend. For me, the highlight of our trip was riding a gondola. This was definitely what I looked forward to before we made the

trip.

Aside from the gondolas, Venice offers a cinematic view that will absolutely make every tourist drop his jaw in awe. In the picture are some rowers on the Grand Canal.

The main means of transport in the main island are the water buses or what they call vaporetti in Italian. But we mostly walked around the city when we visited. One would think that a day in Venice might be too short to fully appreciate its grandeur. I couldn't agree more. I'm definitely coming back to sweet sweet Venice.

Get Lost, 50 Euros!

Watda-ef! Hey, I just lost 50 Euros today on the way to Mariahilferstrasse. How stupid, ja? To think that I was really tightening my belt just so I could spend less. I kept on refraining from buying unnecessary things and yet this? I can't help but sigh... But what can I do? I tend to be THAT stupid at times. Lesson learned: never EVER put anything important on the back pocket of your jeans! Last week, I also lost my library card which I put on my back pocket. Oh well, that seems to be part of MY life.
