the perils of

Now that college is only three weeks away, I’m going to have to pick a talent and stick to it. I'm sort of a jack of all trades, master of none. I know how to write, draw, take pictures, do graphic design, and play the guitar, keyboards, drums and bass. Problem is, I'm not exceptionally good at any one of those things. (That's what the "master of none" means, in case you didn't know.) But with college just around the bend, I'm going to need one special talent to hone, polish and rub in people's faces. (Kidding, kidding.) Now that I have to start REALLY developing one of my skills, I figure the one I should choose is making music. Playing the guitar, especially. Because out of all the things I know how to do, that's probably the one I know how to do best! Tried and tested during school Foundation Days and music projects. Haha. Which is why I've been setting aside a huge chunk of my time each day to log onto http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ ....

Hello blogdom! After a one-week hiatus, here I am again, ready to pollute the Internet once more with my pointless musings. If you read my previous post , you will learn that I went to Manila last week to settle a few things at my new college, and to see what there is to see. So what is there to see in the Big M? (P.S., Manila is called the "Big Mango" daw - a Pinoy spin on New York, the "Big Apple") Well, I'll tell you some other post because frankly, I'm just too tired right now. Booo. Hissss. Can you blame me? It's been such a big past week. And I'm not just talking about Manila. See, my sister and I tweaked the lyrics of Tik Tok by Ke$ha to fit into presidentiable Noynoy Aquino's point of view, and it was so lame and crazy that I just had to post it on my Tumblr. When I checked it just now, I was blown away - 1,027 notes! In layman's terms, that's the equivalent of 1,207 reactions (on Tumblr, you can either "like" a post ...

After the giant wound I sustained to my ego thanks to my embarrassing faux pas from last post (you won't see it until you scroll down to the last few paragraphs, or unless you actually read what I posted and detect that something's off), posting something here that I just ripped off the Internet would be pretty risky. (Lesson learned: Fine print isn't always fine.) Nonetheless, I am going to post this article I found on Tumblr (you know, the virtual pool of awesomeness from where I plucked the Villerap cartoon ) because I found it such a good read and I think it's really worth sharing. This guy, Juan, (his real name is John, I think) says it all. Unbelievable? Believe it. I have witnessed it myself. Kanina, matapos akong ma-badtrip sa torture device na nagpapatugtog ng campaign jingle in the tune of “Nobody” malapit dito sa amin, umalis kami ng kapatid ko para magbayad ng water at electric bills namin sa Laguna Water District at sa Meralco. Ako ang nagpunta sa M...
