Wahoo!

Took my Tita Vik out last night to the DLSU Pops Orchestra's concert entitled "Pinoy Opus," as a birthday gift of sorts for her. The repertoire consisted of nothing but pure OPM (Original Pilipino Music) songs, and a few asides from Filipino cultural favorites such as local TV show themes and videoke.

As it turns out, she hadn't heard of the Pops Orchestra before. She was actually wondering why I wanted to take her out to watch a concert of Pops Fernandez's, as she swears the woman cannot sing, effectively debunking her "Concert Queen" title. It was up to the Pops Orchestra to prove that she'd have a good time, then.

We definitely did.

The concert was peppered with little video segments the Pops members did themselves. Some of them went with the songs, others spoofed videoke songs' accompanying cheesy videos. Much as they amused the crowd, the biggest draw was the Pops Orchestra itself and its talented, energetic vocalists. Tita Vik and I were all applause, smiles and laughter throughout the whole concert.

According to my parents I now look like a zombie. I have dark saucers for eyes and a neglected face full of blemishes.

It's not like I care too much. I've never been a high-maintenance person.

The sleep part is kinda important though. I distinctly remember, on one of the hotter days this month, a time when I fell asleep while driving the Pregio van on the highway at 80 km/h for about a couple of seconds. When I came to, I felt the wheel pulling to the right. Yikes. Good thing the highway wasn't filled with speeders.

I haven't been immune to crashing into things though. I scraped the Pregio van's right side on a parked AE92 Toyota Corolla's left front bumper while trying to change lanes in a tight gridlock called Zobel Roxas St. at 8:00 am.

Fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

This is what I get from getting too used to the diminutive size and good maneuverability of my standard car, the SX8 Honda City.

My PRINPRO professor had us make our own websites from hard HTML code as a project. Mine's up already. You can visit it here.

Don't expect too much though. I'm prouder of the pictures than I am of the site.

One of my friends from HCP, Mike Avecilla, has just had surgery done on his aching back and he's now recovering. It was all successful.

Take care Kuya Mike!

In contrast to my good standing in HCP, Otakuboard has been pretty volatile these past few days with an issue that just doesn't want to die.

All I can say is, "BURY IT ALREADY!" OB isn't a forum for fighting.
