Wrote about blogging eklavu again in my Cnet blog (hmmm blogging about blogging... IS THERE NOTHING SACRED?!). Anyway, was linked to Miriam Quiambao's Blog and then got me thinking of all the local celebs that have been making the rounds already.
Here's an excerpt:
With Filipino internet users displaying the highest affinity towards social media, it's no wonder that well-known personalities--from showbiz and entertainment to politics--are also making appearances in social networks, blogs and more. Just today a new celebrity blog was linked by DigitalFilipino's Janet Toral via Plurk... former Bb. Pilipinas Ms. Miriam Quiambao! And a few weeks back, possible presidential hopeful Mar Roxas added me on FaceBook!
This is a photo my Brother-in-Law took in IR. He's a budding photog, though in all honesty he's had lots of practice already and is getting really really good!
And these are our songs. Listen to 'em please! (But please don't mind the low quality of the recording... I just used a videocam to record these haha).
Title: No Matter First song we put together as a band. Meng's composition before he had to leave. Miss ka na namin boy! Lyrics by Lara.
Lyrics by: Lara Lardizabal
Unsteady hands fumbling to hold mine I clutch at it afraid, afraid of losing your grip
Chorus: Afraid of losing your grip, your grip.. but your hands still fall I'll reach for it no matter
Eyes forming pools you're full to the brim of people pulling you down you're already drowning
2nd Chorus: You're already drowning You're drowning but I'll drown with you I'll drown with you no matter
Bridge: Mist from your lips put your mouth over mine fill me with what poison you've been full of since
3rd Chorus And through this may life shine again in your eyes even as they dim in mine no matter, no matter
Title: Disappear First collaborative effort ng band. This is how we knew that we 'gelled' so well... I just started hitting a few notes, instrument by instrument we started filing in, and then Lara started singing from her song book... new song was born! Zeroes Over Tokyo
Disappear
Is this all there is? Nothing to look forward to, nothing beneath the surface but hazy empty clouds leading only god knows where
Is there nothing to see nothing to hear, nowhere to turn to for someone to just find me Is this all I/we ever can be?
(chorus 2x)
Tell me what is it in me? Is there anything to see cause I can't feel anything real, can I just completely disappear.
(chorus 2x)
Title: Brand New Second collaborative effort. Same as Disappear, only it wasn't me that started the jam... Chris and Vince and then Rica's mala-Pedicab beat. Lupit talaga 'tong song na to! Haha! Kapal! Again, Lyrics ni Lara.
Brand New
Lazy mornings wrapped in juniper blue Cotton candy clouds and some sunshine too Relishing waking up next to you My head is reeling, the feeling is so...
Freesia blossoms and honeysuckle dew perfumes the air, coloring every hue Wanting nothing more than to cozy up with you can't get over the feeling, it's so...
Chorus: New.. I'm feeling new so brand new I'm feeling new so brand new
Untitled as of today. Same style as Disappear... it just happened. Music by the band. Lyrics by Lara, as usual. This is by far my most favoritestsest among our songs.
Untitled (draft)
The tension cutting like a chilling gust of wind making me shiver, terrified of what's to come next
The silence reverberates every awkward minute..
Dreading each day yet still looking forward to when sheer memory comes full circle
Forces us to the present where there is nothing left but the unexpected
And obviously a bit irked at the blue-blooded folk. But shouldn't it read: The "Ateneans" (since, intonation-wise, the sarcastic-emphasis should fall on the pronoun and not on the 'the')? O_o
Na-gets nyo ba? It took me a long while to formulate that sentence...
Wala itong kinalaman sa UAAP na kung saan "TIU"mamba ang Ateneo sa pagkapanalo sa Season 71 UAAP. Hindi sya tsamba. "THE" Ateneo is the better team this year. Wala din itong kinalaman sa UAAP Cheering competition na kung saan naglitawan ang mga ABS ng Ateneo Blue Babble Batallion na talaga nga namang nakakahumaling at nakakatuksong tignan. I was there kaya alam ko. And believe me, nakanganga ako habang pinapanod ko sila.
This is about "THE" Ateneans. Base from my experience.. "THE" Ateneans are snob. Parang parang, pag hindi ka Atenista, FUCK OFF. Parang ganon lang. Sa totoo lang, ang mga Atenista parang ang hirap nilang i-approach. Feeling ko lang to ha, tipong nag excuse ka lang titignan ka from head to foot. OI. feeling ko lang to ha. HAHA. :) Tipong magkwekwento ka kunwari sharing and shits lang.. sasagutin ka nga.. pero ang dating nung sagot ganito. "OK. SO?" or "OK. SO WHAT's THE POINT?" Owned ka dba? Barado to the NTH Level. Kaya minsan nakakatakot makipagusap sa mga "THE" Ateneans eh. Mababara ka lang.
FOR ME, Atenistas have their own little world na kung saan Sila sila lang ang nageenjoy and stuffs. Para silang mga tao yung sa movie na "The Village," na kung saan may sarili silang mundo. Lasallites, Upinians, Thomasians and other schools are the "ONES WE DO NOT SPEAK OF" hahahahahaha! :)
Siguro, ang pagiging malayo sa Outside world ng School ng Ateneo ay nakakadagdag sa pagiging "snobbish" attitude nila. Paglabas mo ba naman ng Ateneo, ano bang makikita mo? Wala. Kalye na punong puno ng kotseng nagdadaan. Parang dun lang talaga yung entertainment nila. Sa loob. Buti pa kami, sanay na sanay sa usok ng mga Jeepney. sa ingay ng mga pedicab boys. sa mga magnanakaw. I THINK, only "THE" Ateneo is not prone to holdap, rape, and other crimes. (sana tama yung sentence ko) Except na lang kung wala ka sa ADMU vicinity ha. Pero doon sa school nila, secured ka talaga. FEELING ko lang ha. FEELING.
Oh well. iba talaga pag "THE" Atenean ka. Sila ang "Cream of the Crop,""The Untouchables," and so on. Wala ata akong kaibigan or schoolmate or classmate na nakapasa sa Ateneo. Kayo? Meron ba kayo? nagbago ba ang pakikipagsocialize nila sa inyo? Or ganon pa din? If hindi nagbago, Well Lucky you. Hindi pa sila nabrebrainwash sa sistema ng isang Atenista. LOL Just kidding. haha. Pero wala pa akong kaibigan talaga o schoolmate o kung ano man na nag aral sa Ateneo.
Now don't get me wrong. Some Ateneans may even actually agree with him... but to generalize is the same as jumping to a conclusion and the same as putting your foot in your mouth. Not all persons of a certain educational and socio-economic class are elitist, and not all elitists come from the same school. In fact, it has always been a common misconception that it's all heavenly shores inside the Loyola campus--you can be as easily discriminated inside the same school as you can be once outside it.
Besides... I make tusok-tusok da pishballs too you know. Hehehe.
Anyway, their site reads: Pepetee Haute Couture – Pepe at Nene style.
