.. they just wanna, they just wann-uh-ah !


I love when I go into my shower on a hot summer's day and just sing my little heart out. Therapeutic cold showers on hot days are the bombdiggity. When my little therapy session was done (aka my bath LOL) I was startled by an orchestra of laughter coming from downstairs. I made my way downstairs only to find half of The Usuals just loafting around my living room. Aww, I love them. We decided to go to Moxies and have some drinks and see Anna the Nguyen in action. After that, a drunk Allen, Soliman, Yena and I went exploring at Earl Bales at midight. I got my feet muddy, so gross. I dont mind it though. Our mini expedition made us hungry so we went to Metro and grabbed some chips - OLD DUTCH is the truth! The rest of our Usuals met up with us and we took a terrifying yet beautiful walk through Edward's Garden. I'm sure it's gorgeous during the day but at 3am, it's just scary. I love my friends. I love flowers. I really dont want to blog right now.

IM SOOO SORRY this blog is so rushed and choppy but Yena is rushing me because we about to get our SUMMAAAA BONDING ON! Haha, I'll jazz this entry up later on. Have a good one dude!

and I want to live inside the glow.

"Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all."

... aint that the truth?

I believe that too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who don't know what they want.

anyways ...

I just wanted to put down a few things before I step out. I woke up early this afternoon (*blush) and lay in my bed just thinking. I wasn't thinking about anything in particular at first but then my mind just took me back a few years and there I was. All the best times swallowed by the worst then saved by the better. As each memory played out, I labeled each of them with a chapter heading as if it were a novel. It sounds pretty psycho but in actuality, it made perfect sense. It still makes sense. Why not have chapter headings for most favourite and not so favourite moments in life? In any case, the flashback picture shows kept playing out in my head and I found myself crying. Not painful tears or happy tears. Just tears. Probably because I realized I am not the child from my past. I am the woman from which my past had built.

I layed there for a few hours more. The tears kept rolling. And I just kept wiping.

If we put ours together, we'll have a whole one!

My friend, lets call her Sarah, is going through what most people go trough in their lives. A break up. Well, its not so much a break up than a series of emotions, decisions and problems leading up to a break up. I wanted to to just send out a few thoughts to her in hopes it will provide clarity.

Dear Sarah,

The bad guys lie to get into your bed. The good guys lie to get into your heart. The really good guys dont lie at all because they trust you enough not to. Relationships are hard but thats only because being alone is so much harder. That doesn't mean that being alone is a bad thing. Sometimes you need to take yourself out of the game to see if youre being played. Adam gave Eve his rib for one reason only. He knew that he needed to sacrafice a piece of himself to create something better for the future. Be strong and always remember, youre allowed to be scared. Sometimes courage just comes when you least expect it but need it the most.

I love you.

Nothing better.

These blogs of mine are in such a messed up order. I have grown so accustomed to facebook notes that I keep forgetting I have a blog. For my summer promise, this blog will be filled with entries and photos and other such wonderful things that I will look back on.

BUT, in the meantime .. heres what you missed:

*N.B; When I say "The Usual", its just the name of my everyday group of friends. One day I'll blog about each of them just so you get the idea. =)

B A R R I E . B O N D I N G
The Usual and I traveled to Barrie where we went to the beach and played man hunt in the playground. Kim also lost her phone. After a few minutes of looking, we found it. LOL. We also talked a whole lot about life, love and other things that make us miserable. Then to top it all off, we decided to go to the water's edge, skip rocks and wait for the sun to rise up and greet us. {ps} I had to pee soooo bad ! Thank the lord of friendly late night security guards who randomly show up in the knick of time!

So as the title suggests, we took a group trip to the beach. Nothing beats soakin the rays in with your number ones =) I was the only one who was willing to spend more than 15 minutes in the water. LOL. I can't help it. I'm a freakin fish! It got to a point where they sent someone in to get me. Once I was shore bound, I helped transform Lucky into a wacked out merman! Did I mention how burnt I got? :(

So, The Usuals decided to throw our friend Ari a "PWND!" surprise bday party. Why we call it a PWND BDAY is because he basically got his birthday wrong. I'm not going into details about it because I don't want to bait him out like that. Needless to say, we threw a really relaxing and fun party for a good friend of ours. We ate/cooked food, played some Rockband & Guitar Hero, learned how to really play Black Jack courtesy of Jay, and just enjoyed eachother's company. At night however, we went to Tim Hortons and gambled some more to kill the time in between the boys + Boo deciding to have roman candle fight. That was interesting and extremely scary and smokey! Of course, the fire dept. and the police were tipped off in which case, we drove off to evade trouble. LOL. Immature? Yes. Smart? Not exactly. Worth it? Definetly.

So The Usuals and then some decided to go to Downsview Park to enjoy the carnival and fireworks for our nation's birthday! It wasn't exactly the most breath taking fireworks but anybody who knows me, knows I love love love fireworks of any kind. In my opinion, the fireworks could have been shorter and less redundant but whatever. I'm just happy that they even happened at all because the fire dept. was on strike. In the end, we all got seperated by the huge crowd and met back up at my house. I live walking distance from the park. We all just ended up going back up to my apartment and playing card games and video games. The night would've been much better if the group was complete and we went earlier to catch most of the festivities. We got there jsut a few moments before the show but caught a snippet of another show in progress. It was a random guy from New Zealand who blew up a latex glove with his nose while holding a torch between his legs. Not exactly entertaining. LOL It's never a dull moment with us. photo deets; The fireworks I was able to capture even with that obstruction of a pole in my way. Another one captured by moi, you like? =)

feat. AJM, A-Jose, Stepz, F. Scoops, Jay Renz, D- Pryde,
Vibrasonic Sessions & more.


The Usual and I got all gussied up to attend The Jump Off II . This event was highly anticipated. Big ups to Ian Nillas for organizing this showcase! It was " Ma Lupet". The Performers were absolutely amazing. My highlights would definetly be AJM, A-Jose, Sean Cristi and Vibrasonic Sessions! I was awe inspired. This event was based on the movement to reach out to others through music. Raw and untapped talent came out and gave us party-goe'ers a show to remember. It was hosted at MStudio which is ran and put together by Filipinos. Not to say that you have to be Filipino to attend or participate! MStudios and Minerva Records are trying to break into the industry full force with introducing more Filipino artists to kind of break the minority. It's a great thing. If it empowers us while providing great music for others, I'm always down! photo deets; 1. AJM, Stepz, F.Scoops 2. Swanky & Vibrasonic Sessions 3. AJM & A-Jose 4. Jay Renz, AJM & Miszy D ; too awesome!

WELL KIDS, that's what's been going on lately. The tip of my summer iceburg. I promise I'll be back soon with more tidbits from my hectic life. Thanks for the read up!
