Eraserheads Reunion Concert DVD




It was released today and of course I bought one! Actually, I was not planning to buy one yet because I my first paycheck is due next week and I thought it will be expensive (600+) but after work I went to SM Makati to pay some bills and the payment center is adjacent to the Astrovision shop so I decided after paying to check the store out (I usually do that anyway to check out DVDs/VCDs on sale ;D). And when I entered the store, guess what.... the reunion concert DVD was playin on their monitor I got excited and find the DVD and when I was on the counter about to pay the DVD (395 pesos) the sales clerk remarked that I was the 25th customer who bought the DVD that day and the guy next on line has the DVD also on hand. Amazing! I will watch it tomorrow, so excited, I may have missed the first concert but the DVD will suffice. Hopefully, in their upcoming concert this March I could watch, I'm quite worried that I could loss my chance to see that one because I haven't the ticket yet and as expected the tickets are selling like crazy! I really hope I could still watch. Wish me luck!

Sneak In


Except for my Chart Recaps, I have not posted anything lately because I was busy. Last week I started with my new job as a copy editor for an outsourcing company here in Makati. The job proper hasn't started yet since we are on our training phase which will last for a month (but we are paid, yehey!). My job this time is very challenging, even though I have a some knowledge on copy editing and proofreading it would be still difficult because my account is editing scientific journals specifically those coming from The American Institute of Physics! The format and style is very different. We had some editing practices and well editing it is so complicated. I find it amazing how the two worlds of language and science blended here! But I'm excited, yes, this is not my dream job but this is the kind of job that will help me "grow" and I do see a career here. Plus, I feel blessed that after leaving my first job in December, I was able to get a new job soon considering with the recession going on, with many companies laying off their employees and worse shutting down, I really feel blessed I landed this job. A new chapter of my life begins again and hopefully this time it would be better. With that, I shall go back to work :D

R is for Random

  • Try to avoid comparing yourself with other people because it is inevitable that you might feel envious. And when you become envious you will lose track, you will make decisions just to outdo a person and not really because you really want it.
  • There are certain topics, that you will have just have to agree to disagree.
  • You are always free to express yourself but it should never be used as an excuse to be rude.
  • You could always say your piece, try to persuade people that what you believe is right but you should never force them, the more that you rub it in their faces the more they will stay away from you.
  • Hate is such a strong word, use it accordingly. Try dislike.
  • Don't be paranoid for the inevitable, it's pointless and waste of time, energy and brain cells.

Get Well Soon

Last Sunday, I was shocked when I received a dozen text messages from my college classmates that our classmate, Walton, was rushed to the hospital because he suffered a stroke. My classmates were asking who would go and visit him in UMC that day. Unfortunately, I was not able to come but I could have because on that day I was just about to go to the mall which is a jeep ride away from the hospital but I suffered a minor injury, I slipped and hit my foot on a wooden object. It was so painful as my big toe was swollen and then at that time I found out the shocking news about my friend, it was a difficult feeling, I was in literal pain and I was very worried about Walton. Walton is one of the class clowns and loves to fool around. He is very athletic and healthy so it was really a shocker. The next day, I chatted with some of my classmates who visited him and told me that he was in really serious condition that the doctors advised that they should not let him fall asleep as it might lead to a coma. But they could talk to Walton and he was still joking around despite his condition. They also relayed to me that day was a bittersweet feeling since it was sort of a mini reunion for our block.
Today he was sent to Makati Medical Center to have his brain checked. I'm really praying hard that nothing bad wont happen to my friend, Walton. Get well soon!

Mark The Date: 03-07-09

Great news for the fans of the Eraserheads (like me)! The part 2 of the 2008 Concert of the Year will push through on March 7, 2009. The Philippine Star's Supreme section dished out the news today. Read the article here
I will surely not miss the one, good thing I already have a new job (was hired two days ago and will start on January 19) so I could save up. The reunion concert part 2 is named "The Final Set". Literally, it means that they are just finishing the the reunion concert but this could be really the final concert of the four guys together(hence final set) but heck at least Eraserheads will go out with a bang and will finally have a better closure than their messy break up a few years ago. But maybe I'm jumping to conclusions too haha what is important is that there would be a part 2 and I MUST WATCH IT.
So excited!

Baby Bottles




Apart from Internet surfing or watching TV/vcd/dvd, I spend my bum days helping my mother take care of my nephew. Well, basically my tasks are just to assist my mother when changing diapers, wash the baby bottles and entertain my nephew when nanay is doing something else. haha. I do all kind of silyl stuff to make my nephew laugh haha but you know I really feel a different kind of joy everytime my nephew smiles and laughs with my antics. But yes it's really hard taking care of a baby, you will not just devote time but you must give your 100%. Earlier on my nephew had a fever and it freaked me out but nanay told me that its nothing serious and y nephew is fine. That incident reminded me again how I was a suki at hospital when I was a baby. I could imagine how it must have been hard for them to raise such a weak baby like me. There was even a time that the holidays were spent on hospitals because of me. I know fully understand why they were very protective of me. Yes, sometimes they go a bit overboard but I now understand where they are coming from. And I can't blame them for being so worried about me since I, admittedly, was so accustomed to being a weak person that I just let it be, I could have been healthier if I exerted more effort.
The bottomline, I know my parents will always guide me wherever I my life is heading. I'm so thankful I have great parents.

Hello 2009


Four days since we welcomed 2009, I'm really at awe how we are nearing the end of this decade. And for the nth time how time flies. At 21, I feel old haha. I know I'm still young but sometimes I wish I could go back in time. Anyway, a belated happy new year to everyone.

I planned before to write some sort of 2008 recap post about my life last year but got lazy to do it.
Or.... well.... There's nothing much to tell. Of course, the highlight this year was when I graduated college followed by the birth of my very first nephew. Then the rest of the year was so , for lack of better word to think of as I type this, bland. I started 2008 with a very tough challenge at the school paper I headed, which even though it was resolved somehow but the experience was very painful for me mainly because I failed as a leader and I let people down. I was incompetent, I feel so guilty being such a lousy leader. Started my term good but ended bad. Sad. However, it was a learning experience for me that I will carry in my heart forever.
And then after graduation, to sum it up, it went like this: bum for months, got a job for three months, left after the contract ended and went back to bum life.
Tomorrow, most people will resume their lives in school and work, many might be bummed that the holiday is over and they have to go back to their "regular system". But for me I have nothing to look forward too. Well there is, a call that I got hired for a new job.
Sorry for the whining, what a way to start my blog for 2009!
That's why the past few weeks I restrained from blogging about my personal thoughts because I know it would be on this kind of tone. I opted to blog more about my interest (and would be I believe more interesting for other people who lurks here) which is well music chart monitoring, no matter how silly it may sound, my renewed and reinforced music chart "geekiness" was also one of my bright spot for 2008. It made me feel happy. Enough said.
But I will end this post on a good note: 2009 will be a great year for me and my family!
