Premos.


Hi readers. Do you believe in Premonitions? Well, I don't know if I should but I consider them in one way or another.

I am kinda worried right now coz Axle had a bad dream awhile ago. There were two girls on both of his sides. On his left was me, and on his right was a girl he doesn't know. The girl was barely like a black shadow whose face cannot be seen. In his dream, I was telling him random stuffs nonstop. When he looked at his right, he felt like the woman was keeping him from seeing her face. He was struggling to take a peek of the woman's face but he failed. He said in his dream, he can't move... he can't lift his hand, he can't talk, etc. He just felt the girl's persuasive force like the girl is asking him to look at me and never mind her. I don't know. That's how his story went. When he woke up he was quiet and dizzy. It felt like the dream was really happening. This is scary and he is bound to have a photoshoot in Tanay Rizal tomorrow. Come on, I'm really scared. I want him to be safe all throughout the shoot and the days after.

They say dreams try to reveal some messages to us, humans, and I can't seem to figure out what his dream meant. All I know is that I don't wanna lose him.. no, not in any way. :(

Promise to say a prayer before I go to sleep. I love you, Ax! Take lots of care, Love!

I love you, just so you know. :)


Okay, this may seem so cheesy.. but what can I do? Dreamsounds playlist is playing on my laptop!

I just want to post this to show how happy and thankful I am for having him as my bestfriend and my beloved. It has been two years now and I still get that kilig. (Raaaarrr! Cheesy na, sige!) HAHAHAHA! I love you Anteaus Villena :)

My Passion should push through after Graduation :)


Things that I accomplished on the net today:

I was able to upload the pictures taken last night at my godson's first birthday party.
I was able to go out with Ax and eat at Banapple.
I was able to see my friends and hang out with them.
I was able to search online some job openings.
and.. I was able to write a blog, like the one right here, after a very looong time!

Mission accomplished!

Hey readers! I am writing this blog to update you with the things that are happening in my life. First off, my graduation day is nearing. I am not excited. I am nervous. I fear what's going to happen after my graduation. Really. I have plans though! If you'll ask, I'd say I still want to study Film and Photography after I graduate from Mass Communication Major in Broadcasting :)

I have this love, enthusiasm and passion for both Photography and Film- it is the passion that developed over time. Both art forms really interest me and inspire me to do my best in such fields. I have taken subjects in our school curriculum regarding those and it moved me even more to never stop learning things about it... maybe that's the reason why I would like to take further steps to widen and enhance my knowledge regarding those.

And speaking of which, I am currently wondering what workshop will suit my needs. I need to get testimonials and feedbacks from people who joined the workshop before- if the lecturers were great, if they were able to discuss the subject matter well, if the room is good and conducive to learning, etc. I have so many questions! i can't risk money in enrolling myself to something not worthy. After all, my future's at stake!

I am undecided. I want to enroll in Digital Photography in Benilde, a short course on Digital Photography. And the film workshops of Mowelfund and Filipino Pictures Inc. I don't know which of those workshops will really satisfy my thirst for learning! But one thing's for sure. I will take both Film and Photography workshops. i just have to choose really well where to enroll. So if you guys happen to know a thing or two about those workshops, let me know. I am more than happy to hear from you. :)

If you're wondering if I am going to work soon, I'd say YES... but only if I enroll myself first in those workshops. :p Maybe on last week of April or beginning of May, I'll send out my application in my prospect companies and maybe get myself hired in a prestigous company (with a good pay) around June or July. Let me enjoy first the remaining days of being 'unofficially unemployed' after graduation. It never hurts to bum around, at least once in awhile. :)

Summerheat, yeah!


Hi! It has been a long time since I blogged about what I have been doing lately...

Well, final exams are over. We are all entitled to have some rest before our graduation practices. What excites me? Hitting the beach this Holy Week! The heat is very unbearable, dipping in cold water would sure soothe me. Hmm where to go? Maybe Ilocos? Or the much-awaited summer trip my classmates have been nagging me: Anuwangin Island in Zambales! I am excited already! :)

My schedule these past few days were really painful and excruciating. We had to do several paper works and presentations but God is good, he gave me the perseverance and now I am officially bumming around!

What am I doing? Here, blogging. Updating all my accounts and editing the pictures I have been storing for like... a week? Hahaha! Im bound to watch tons of DVDs later, mind joining me?:) I love watching re-runs, indie films, and experimental films. Fetish! :)

Oh, I am also planning to send out my resume online! So I won't add up to the Unemployed figures after graduation, so help me if you know a Media Agency that has Job Openings :)

Till here, people! Blog on :)

Full Moon.

It's full moon. What a beautiful site from the window.

I have never seen the craters of the moon up close... not until today. It's beautiful! I remember what my friend told me about the moon. Whenever she looks at it, no matter how bad her day went, she feels good. Yeah, just by looking at it makes her release all the tensions and stresses she is undergoing. Maybe that's the reason why she put a moon tattoo on her back.

She told me that the moon is every girl's comforter. Girls do more appreciate the sight of the moon than boys. It relieves them and makes them realize how beautiful the world is and how much they should anticipate the next coming days.

After all the stress in doing my Media Ethics and Media Standards assignment, I gaze through my old window and see the moon... Beautiful :)

Good night People :)

Nostalgia.

It was one of the days I usually bum at home. And just like anyone who's stuck at home would do, I watched DVDs. Others were re-runs and others were not. One of the 'others' is the movie entitled FAME. It was a nice movie... reminds me of Step-Up movie though, where students break rules for them to discover and showcase their potentials. What's moving in this movie is how the mentors inspire the students through words of wisdom. They are all in Performing Arts, of which I could relate since my course isn't far from theirs.

Each character has struggles to face with... be it in school, in their circle of friends or in their families. Those facts entirely depict a life of a person... crucial yet entertaining. I did not regret staying up late for that movie... worth every little tick-tock. :)

I watched tv with my 4-year old nephew. We watched Going Bulilit on ABS-CBN since it's his all-time favorite! I was amazed when the show featured my good old school where I spent my nursery to grade 6 years! Angelicum College of QC! The school looks different now. The buildings were newly painted and all the rooms have AC! How devastating because I did not experience that! Hahaha! The elementary grounds are different! Nicer than ever :)

The segment made me miss my elementary days but much more my elementary friends who used to stay with me at the fishpond. :) Nostalgia huh? Good old days. :)

The Apparition of Urbandub: My first Udub experience!


The group with Gab of Urbandub





The Sound Of The Giant South is gaining more recognition around the nation like never before. At the forefront of the whole movement is a band that has a record that surpasses most bands than that of the bands that have come out of the Queen City of Cebu. They are none other than Urbandub.

From the very first day that this band was formed (in the year 2000), they were destined to be something more than the ordinary. Forced to be independent due to the lack of support coming from major record companies, Urbandub released their debut album called BIRTH. Off of this album, the hit tracks "Come", "Give" and "Would You Go" launched and took their world by storm. Unique, timely and yet experimental, it was something that entertainment scenes around the Philippines needed: a kick start into the future of original music.

Urbandub is Gabby Alipe (Vocalist / Guitarist), Lalay Lim (Bassist), John Mendoza (Drummer) and John Dinopol (Lead Guitarist).

  • According to the lead vocalist Gabby Alipe behind the band's name:
“ When we were just starting out..urbandub was supposed to be a reggae band...we were suppose to play reggae mixed with dub, ska, dancehall, hiphop, and rock. A perfect example of what urbandub would have been--is the song "sailing" and "eating me" --that was the style we were suppose to be playing around with--since we were suppose to be a reggae/dub band, hence the name, urbandub. But becuz of the series of line up changes--and new influences--we became what we are today! The name just kinda got stuck and we never bothered to change it. Soo there you go..the story behind the name "urbandub"

Urbandub's music video First of Summer is about a girl rebelliously going out with her boyfriend. The band later released Endless, A Silent Whisper which shows the events that happened before and after what was shown in First of Summer. Both videos were directed by Marie Jamora and were shot in 3 days.

-according to researches on the net-

I watched Urbandub's gig at CSB SDA Cafeteria! It was really a dream come true because I'm a great fan! And I mean greaaaat! Hahaha! If people say that they had them at hello, I'd say they had me in Endless, A Silent Whispher. It was the first song I heard from their album and since that day I liked their music. Urbandub is the one responsible why I liked listening to rock music. I was then a hiphop-and-rnb type of girl but when my friend lend me his earphones, I knew that my music taste has to change. My friend also gave me a gift since he knew that I liked their music. He gave me their two albums... Sabay! So I was stunned! He had them autographed by all the band members, but yeah, I never saw them play... that's the downside.

But tonight's different. I was able to meet them face-to-face, in that sense hahaha! Why? Because I was standing right in front of Gabby Alipe! Sweeeeet! Just few inches away from the strings of his guitar! Hahaha! But hell yeah, I can't help but be stunned. Na-starstruck ako. Finally, after a long wait! I always see their videos, I have it in my MP5 Player, even the ones with Franco. And kanina, wow, I can't believe that they are already in front of me! Waaaaah! I am more than happy!

I still think about it. I can't help but view the pictures we have in my camera. Tons of pictures I could say! I even recorded their performance on my cellphone hahaha! Addict much? And when we were outside, getting a hang of it all, Gab went out of SDA and smoked. He was right in front of us! We can't say a word! Buti nalang Gellie, Axle's friend had the guts to ask Gab if we could have a picture with him. Akala ko kaming girls lang, pero pati boys, sumama! Hahaha!

First time hurts? Nah.. First time's the sweetest! Hahahaha!

Urbandub, good shiiiiiit mahn!
