T5 adventure!

i'm not quite sure why it is called T5, all i know is that it's 6cylcemind's version of cueshé's pilipinas tour, theirs is called nationwide trip. anyways, their trip stopped by sta. rosa and the three of us decided to head south and meet up after i think two weeks or more of not seeing each other - busy kase kami sa work, ika nga ni joko: "wo-wo-working girls na kami!" naks! plus i want to see chuck it's been more than a month na since i last saw him though we talk sa phone once in a while, iba pa din ang personal bonding.

so we made tambay at 711 near sta. rosa's town plaza while waiting for chuck to arrive at the venue, we talked more about the band with no name and other stuffs as well, as always we took lots of pictures, meet new friends/minders and went home a bit early - kase ang sabi namin nasa atc lang kami discussing business stuffs. hehehe! oh, and joko's over him na! yeah! (for real na ba yan joko? hmmmm...) seems like uso ngayon ang moving forward - i guess time is gold?

miki.joko.carla sa cr/me and my man! (or my bee?!)

hello chuck! long time no see!

carla as malaking hadlang! hehehe!

i got a new blog template...yes! it's been a while since i changed it at ngayon na lang ulet ako sinipag! i'm still moving on and on and on, come to think of it i think i already moved on na before pa - i just need people to know, i just need to tell him - closure! (closing time?) whoa, i'm talking in riddles, but then this is my blog so it's okay. moving on!

torn about going to singapore for a short vacation on march. still thinking about it.

moving on

what we have is something that i don't try to discuss, catergorize or even describe, it is something that i don't usually write here in my blog or anywhere else, it is something that is nothing, it's a state of confusion, and a random but specific one. yes, it's totally confusing, mind blowing, puzzling, bewildering, mystefying, baffling, out of this world kind of thing.

so it's time to move on.

i deserve better and i know that.

the next one will be better.

there will be a next one.

carla carla musikahan...

WHAT'S NEW ON MY IPOD?

1. new album of 6cyclemind - 3rd album entitled home. (i love upside down and prinsesa)
2. christian baustista's just a love song album - collection of cover songs na senti performed and recorded live. (i'm enjoying this one because i heart christian and its fun to hear a different rendition of senti songs)
3. acoustic/live rendition of songs like irreplaceable, bad day, how to save a life, beautiful soul, chasing cars, smile like you mean it, love song etc. (love it)
4. cover songs like everyday people and lovely day by maroon 5, so sick by fall out boy, material girl by haylie and hillary duff, smells like teen spirit by tori amos, here comes the sun by coldplay, who will save your soul by jessica simpson and jewel etc....(cool!)
5. love album by the Beatles - what can i say? i love beatles!
6. bossa by agot isidro, sitti, sonia, sofia and raffi. i also have the cinderella, vst and bob marley collection turned into bossa! very relaxing...kakaantok din! hehehe!
7. various songs from various genré and by various artist...halo halo special! songs like save room by john legend, it might be you and forever by the ambassadors, new album of mymp and paolo santos, songs by boyband na masarap ulit ulitin kase it brings back memories and a whole lot more of crappy songs and some nice ones too.

what's life without music? b-o-r-i-n-g!

and more...

≈ i stand by my conclusion/observation, they are not friends and may issue yan talaga. hehehe! plus as i've replied to michaela - no one can resist us, they can't be our friends, we are naturally irresistable, we can carry conversations, we are loved plus who wouldn't want to be our friends? (no comment to that question!)

≈ yehey! i finally saw 6cyclemind's new video - PRINSESA, super aliw na aliw ako kay alden and aaron! love ko na silang dalawa....talagang talaga! ney is cute in that video, tutti is hot hot hot! (sizzling with chili kind of hot!), chuck is cute or nagpapacute? hahahah! i love you chuck and i love their rendition of the songs - new arrangement and all! love it! panalo! kaya naman it's making it's way to the top of the countdowns na agad...go 6cyclemind!

≈ okay, my magtipid for 2007 project is working well for me. i still have money from my last sweldo to think that it's gonna be sweldo time again soon. not going much has it's advantages and disadvantages as well - that's life - win some, lose some.

≈ miki, joko and i gained another fan, well actually fan na namin siya before pa but i can't believe that nagiging issue pa ang we might we each other somewhere down way south! ay sus naman talaga! ibang leveling!

≈ i'm loving maroon 5 at the moment and i've discoverd some of their cover songs which i truly love as well! renewal of admiration ang drama ko, love-hate relationship kami ng maroon 5 eh! hahaha!

≈ looking forward to reading my just purchased books from amazon.com - it's been a long time since a read a good book, kase tong cueshé na toh eh! hahaha! (long vacation sila eh!)

that's me and gab (my inaanak)

a different point of view

i probably woke up at the wrong side of the bed yesterday, i suddenly lost interest in going to gigs/gimiks and suddenly had a goal in mind, a very simple goal actually - save more. not that i don't want to be with my friends or i want to be a hermit or something, maybe i can still do everything that i used to do but a cheaper, less expensive way? it is as if i realized that i'm not getting any younger, believe it or not i just found out that i was not able to save anything last year! yes, not a single cent and i wonder where my salary went? suddenly a vision of me in the middle of a bar, everywhere in the metro gave away the answer to my very dumb question, hence i have set a goal for myself - save at least 10% of what i'am earning and i tend to stick to that goal by hook or by crook para may self-fulfillment at the end of the year.

last monday, joko and i were able to drag ritz to go with us to a non-cueshé gimik. we met up with miki and jeman @ 70's bistro to watch 6cyclemind and callalily, this is my first not cueshé gig for 2007. chuck was not around to entertain/take care of us, the old guy (hehehe!) injured his knee or something so he had to rest and pass up the gig. sayang kase it's been a while since i've been to a 6cm's gig and i'm looking forward to seeing chuck and finding out what's been going on and what's in his mind lately....i love it when they tell me random things. anyways, i had fun listening to joko's hirits while she was a bit tipsy, jeman's statements, texting jovan and really laughing at his very naughty replies, and listening miki's comment that she keeps on whispering to me. ritz was able to catch callalily's complete set and at least about 15% of 6cyclemind's performance, joko decided to go home early without finishing the gig, at the taxi ride on the way to rockwell she declared that she's finally over him and is willing to move on to her next crushie - a tall guy this time.

oh, argie dropped by 70's to see us because it's been a while since we last saw each other. we were able to sight his lavender bmx bike as well and his new haircut.

first gig for 2007

it is as if history repeats itself, once again my first gig for 2007 is at 19east and with cueshé. i met up with ritz, joko, miki and jeman and 19east at around 930 or so, i was able to gave jeman my late x-mas gift - a melanie b cd from amazon.com and he was so so so happy happy joy joy! hehehe! ruben shared with us the photos of his new baby boy taken from his cellphone, it's too early yet to determine if the boy looks like ruben or kezia but for sure the boy has ruben's beautiful eyes! hehehe! i was able to meet mrs. labrado and fritz's cute daughter - tipay and for the first time i heard them perfrom live their rendition of the asian treasure theme song - walang yamang mas hihigit sayo.

for a change we opted to stay on the 2nd floor of 19east - the view is okay din naman and i was able to take good shots and convince ruben to dance! yehey! as usual there are lots of pictures and lots of chismis and lots of kulitan - kailangan pa bang i-memorize yun? hindi fun pag walang yung 3 elements na yan!

an attempt to have a decent group pic with everybody - as in lahat!

randomness

∞ i checked his friendster and i noticed that the guy doesn't have a pic with a certain band member, on the other hand he posted pics of him with his other workmates. i think it is evident now why he doesn't talk to us and why he's acting a bit aloof, our guesses was right - they are not friends even if they work together, and i wonder why? (do i smell competition?)

∞ his status on friendster is it's complicated, on the other hand her staus is single and she is just 16 years old (well, that's what i saw on her friendster profile) isn't her too young for him? ahem, corrupting a minor?

∞ i really don't have to know their relationship status but then he - as my friend has the tendency of sharing with me how their relationship was doing. i'm flattered however he should know better.

∞ when will he ever respect women? he treats women like a jeans or a shirt that he can wear a certain number of times and then when he get tired of it he'll just dump it and will proceed to buying buying a new one.

∞ i cannot believe that they are still together despite of what he did to her (and me?) i guess some girls are just plain stupid or maybe that's what they called love (or nanghihinayang?)

∞ how did they become friends? they are a bunch of lunatics who have a tendency of doing pshychotic things (blind item anyone?) and they have one thing in common - they have loved and lost (and can't accept it?) their alliance came unexpectedly to me and to the other peeps.

∞ he asked me if it's possible for me to be in a relationship with a guy who has a child na, single but already a father and my reply? i'll cross the bridge when i get there. (mahirap magsalita ng tapos)

∞ i hope she will realize that she's better off without him and that no matter what happens she will be able to recover-move on-smile. getting hurt and building a wall around you to protect yourself from more pain is just part of life - as they say it, charge it to experience. the next one will be better because you'll be wiser!

threesome dinner @ greenbelt

miki, joko and i decided to meet up last friday for dinner because miki is supposed to be leaving for hong kong on the 8th (that's yesterday!), but miki got a job working as a graphic artist @ jv ejercito's campaign office (with jeman the man) so her hong kong trip will not push through but we still went out for dinner.

joko and i met up at starbucks glorietta (where she read cosmo mag cover to cover, kase ang tagal namin ni miki), went window shopping a bit and then decided to meet up with miki at greenbelt. we ate at blue ginger - a thai resto and then we had coffee, all the chikas and lots of pictures at seattles best.

good luck miki on your new job! working girls na tayong tatlo! naks!

bawal ka ng gumimik! mwahahaha! as if your job will stop you noh?

carla.joko.miki @ greenbelt, makati

pinagtritripan namin ni joko si miki! clap clap!

text text tayo!

best text messages/text replies i got over the weekend:

- boobsie (i can't believe that's how he remembers me...)

- i don't love him, and i hate your question (i know, that's why joko chased me sa parking lot ng atc to kill my boobs....i ask really cool questions!)

- hiwalay na kami (in my mind it's....na naman? and tomorrow okay na yan but then can't help but get worried pa din kahit pano)

- hindi ko na siya crush! (anung nangyari? and for real na ba yan? panu na ang langhap sarap)

- i really like you! (patay tayo diyan!)

- guess who's here?! (at naexcite ako sa pagreply...i gave about 5-8 names ata! hehehe! one name per message!)

- thank you so much, dami ko ng utang sa'yo (mababayadan mo din ako balang araw, wag kang mag-alalala, maniningil ako one of these days! hahaha!)

- please text me if you're not busy (naku ha, baka sabunutan ako ng gf mo!)

- would you ever go out with a guy kahit may anak na siya? (very tough question, i don't know and i'm not sure, i'll cross the bridge when i get there!)
