Unwelcome Party . 03.09.2013

This was planned okay? but also it was unexpected that Candido will be arriving in Manila on Monday that week before we see each other that Saturday.

Facebook was just a friend then because Candido checked in his location and I left him a message asking him if he's free that coming Saturday and he was not actually but he also cancelled his trip on Baguio for this. 

The last time that Josh, Greg and I saw each other was last October last year when we celebrated Greg's birthday at MOA. This time Josh joked about going to Tagaytay and of course we are all game but our beautiful driver was tired from her event the night before so I thought we will end up at the mall doing nothing but eat eat and eat. 

Greg and I met at Galleria before everyone else because if I leave after lunch I will be so lazy to move and it may be traffic or something. And the night before, Sepi and I are talking on bbm about the next day (and he never offer their place!!!) 

It's always nice to see friends from college, and I'm happy I ended up at A06C13 on my first year because I don't know what will happen if they are not my friends. We might lose some people but I'm glad also to hear that some of us are on med school, some do have families now and so on ... 

Josh keep saying that we are still the same when we are in college and I think I'll agree. There is this little reminder that we still got each others' back. For goodness sake, we are always or at least we are there in presence when someone celebrated his/her birthday, when he/she was down, in short we witness everyone's up and down moment and I'm happy that I have them even we communicate less but when you put us in one room, we are still going to talk about stuff and we'll still laugh out loud. :)) 

(L-R) Candido, Greg, Josh and me at Shakey's Galleria

Thinking where to go after and there are no good movies ... then Sepi offer his place! dang he should told me last night so we got less problems 

-_- ... Anyways, we end up there and we ended up eating all night and still unwelcome. 

Oh there's Sepi. and there's the pool and we didn't have swimming clothes -_- 

Late that night we wanted some hot drinks because we are SUPER FULL. as in FULL. We went to Starbucks at Metrowalk ... 

always, one of the boys... lol 

The rest of the night was epic as ever and we had a really good time hanging out. 

I love you guys. Thank you for the good laugh, as always.

We planned something and I'm organizing it again so, see you soon. ❤

"Trust your friends, they are superheroes who will catch you when you fall"

ParaThrilla in Manila 2

If there's a future we want it NOW. 

I can't believe that we didn't need to wait for more than 5 years to see these guys again. The last time that they've been here was March 9, 2010 (here's my not so detailed blog post about it).

I'm so thankful for these people because of them I met some amazing people around the world like Hannah from Australia (who I met on twitter but now I don't have a contact with her but she sent me a Christmas card long time ago), Cate from Portugal but I think she's in UK now (its silly but I got her Blackberry pin on twitter then we started talking on BBM then on twitter and on Facebook. Even though we don't talk that much anymore I still treasure her so much), Mair (we don't talk that much but we are getting there). They are just a few people I met online but of course I also met some Paramore fans from here (Philippines) namely Pia, Nikki, Kai. (its not that many but I love these people so much and I'm glad that I met them already except for Nikki but Pia and I watched Avril together last year and Paramore this year and yes after meeting Kai online last 2009 or 2010 I already met her in person last February 15 and her cousin and friends and also Pia's friends).

I rant about this again and again maybe I'll stop after this post, HAHAHA. I really want to meet Hayley, Taylor and Jeremy and as you know you can have a meet and greet if you won on a contest by the producers or music label or through the fan club and on Paramore there's PFC (Paramore Fan Club). I decided earlier last year that I will join but unfortunately its closed for new members for almost a year now and that's the reason why I wasn't able to meet them. I will join PFC as soon as they opened it and anyway Paramore will not come back soon because they have scheduled tour dates and let all the ParaFamily saw them this year, its been a while.

Another rant, MOA Arena will never fail to disappoint me for some reason. HAHAHA.
I don't know if it was Ovation or whatever but just like the first concert where the VIP was placed behind the Gold area but this time, the VIP with reserved seats was not separated with the VIP Standing.

I was early at MOA because it was Friday and it was payday so I decided to be there at lunch time to stalk a little and to spend some time at MOA because I don't know when was the last time I've been there and also to avoid traffic.

The same thing that happen with this and the first show in Manila last 2010 was I WAS ON THE SIDE OF JEREMY AGAIN. I'M NOT COMPLAINING BUT I REALLY WISHED IT WAS TAYLOR THAT WAS ON OUR SIDE :((((

I'm really not complaining but I wished it was Taylor's side ... oh well, I also love Jeremy and gosh Kat is so lucky to have a hairy-handsome-husband. Next time, I will be on the middle where it was the best place to be in, in front of Hayley.

I didn't go to a Paramore show to be a photographer, I went there to experienced Rock and Roll so I don't care if my photos are not that good but I have some decent one and I'm satisfied with that. If there will be a 3 or 2 days Paramore show here in Manila maybe I'll spend the first day partying then the second day videoing the whole concert OR I WILL HIRE SOMEONE TO VIDEO THE WHOLE CONCERT NEXT TIME. HAHAHAHA and I'll make sure he/she is not a fan.

Paramore helped me in a lot of ways most especially coping with my past life to make me move on, make me realize that I was never alone in this, that there are people experiencing the same or worst than my situation. When I'm on a bad mood, their music makes me calm. I know or maybe I'll just tell you that:
My day will never be complete without a Paramore song. and I guess it will never get old.

Here are some photos before, during and after the show.

Kai, Me, Katrina and her 2 friends [sorry guys I forgot your names :(]

thank you guys for such a good company before and after the show! see you soon and hopefully another concert where we can be on the same section :)

the MYX crew . Oh hi Chino.

mewithoutYou : the front act and one of the influences and inspiration of Paramore

Hayley Nichole Williams on vocals

AHHHHHH . 

Kat's hairy face husband : Jeremy Davis on bass guitar 

I love this shot 

So, I was telling earlier that I was again on Jeremy's side and that means I don't have a decent photo of Taylor, Justin, Jon and Ilan Rubin </3. Well, Taylor went to our side but its either I'm filming or my camera is not that ready or the huge guy in front of us was fan girling over Taylor York. I swear next time I'll hire a photographer. So here are some decent stage shot that I got. 

oh, there's Taylor York on lead guitar

oh there's Justin and Ilan 

my favorite photo . although not all of them are in the photo .... 

A Paramore show will always be awesome. Although Manila didn't experience the presence of Josh Farro, we appreciate that they are willing to go back after 2 1/2 years and hopefully soon again once the 4th album was released because it was always different on live shows. 

Mary, Me, Pia, Kristine and Mary's brother

thank you guys! I had fun and we totally partied that night and I hope we can watch another concerts together. See you around :)

For now, we are all patiently waiting for "Paramore" the 4th album of Paramore and as we are across the world from where they are, we are being satisfied with the new interviews that are posted online, new photos from Soundwave, random post of Hayley on LiveJournal, Instagram, Tumblr and on Twitter. 

Last Saturday, it was the 3rd anniversary of Paramore's first show here in Manila the "ParaThrilla in Manila" and this year was a little bit different since the band was just here last month not 3 years ago. 

I don't have a decent photos from the first ParaThrilla in Manila but I'm happy I got some this time and since it was too many, you can check my photos here .   

Lastly, I would like to thank Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor for continuing this journey and I'll be here with you on this new journey. thank you and we love you guys so much can't wait for the new album. see you soon <3

I know this was a little late post. hehe

There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it. - Now

Hair Dye-ary . Two Toned

Hey blogger, its been a while. . . .

I've been busy lately but I'm loving it and as much as my last entry I only have 2 backlogs (this entry and my ParaThrilla in Manila 2). 

If you follow my hair dye-ary then this was a little big step after the first one. Well, I planned about this and I'm happy that I was able to do it and after this I don't know yet what to do with my hair dye-ary series. I'm not yet planning to drown my hair with a jar of Manic Panic though but at the same time I don't like my hair being plain black since the first time I've dyed a part of it. 

Last February 5th, I don't have to do anything late that night and I decided to dye it since I'm being bored for my one-side-slightly-blonde-streak and its been like that for 2 months and I just want some changes. It's not that I didn't like it, I just got bored with it and I just took that opportunity, that free time I had since I knew that I'll be busy the following days and yeah I was busy the next days and weeks.

Some might think that it's just because I'm going back to my Alma Mater, maybe it was but it was also because of the Paramore show that happened last February 15th (I'll blog about that after this maybe not right after publishing this but I will). People will not believe but I'm just pretty bored with the blonde streak.

I didn't do the everyday photo this time but even though it's fading I still like it. 

Here's my before photo . Well technically, this was the last photo before I did the major hair dye thing.

I said on my last hair dye-ary post that it will be bigger next time well it happened ;)

Just like the last time, I did the bleaching process first.

Here's a picture before rinsing it after a 45 minute bleaching

Dyeing your hair is really messy most especially if no one was there to help you but it's fun to do all the work, you will appreciate more your dyeing job. ;)

After bleaching, it will be a really dry and frizzy

it was much lighter than the other because that was the section where my slightly blonde streaks. After bleacher, it gets more blonde or should I say white (somehow, I dreamed of being a blonde or just have some streaks. I'll go with the streaks being blonde is not really what I want. lol)

After drying my bleached hair, I applied my Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink and I washed it the next morning probably it stayed there for 6 hours, I slept with it. It's still the one that I ordered last October and I'm happy to say that I still have some but I'm not re-applying those to my fading hair. 

and the result ... 

I'm really in love with these, though its fading now.

 Alright, you might asked why is it two toned or why the right side is pink and the other was red?

- It became like that because I didn't use all of the bleaching stuff before because I want to save some or because I don't know if I applied the equal amount on both sides but in this case since I already bleach/colored and right side it became whiter when I re-bleached it this time. That's why you need more bleaching stuff if you really want your hair to be pink, blue, green, red or orange. 

Lesson learned, stock more bleaching stuff. HAHA 

It will be summer time here in the Philippines and kids will be on vacation soon then if you want to do something different OR IF YOUR PARENTS WILL ALLOW YOU this summer or maybe you just want to be colorful on the beach then you might want to try dyeing your hair using a semi permanent dye.  

I hope this helped and you can ask me question if you want to know more details. :) 

I got my Manic Panic at Funky Streaks.

APHS 2013

I went back to my high school grounds last February 7 and 8 for a pageant, where my cousin joined and won 2nd runner up the photos are on her Facebook page .

I will not spam photos from the album but I got photos that I never uploaded on my facebook or anywhere else. I just want it to be here on my blog. selfish much? yes. lol

A little introduction, I don't know who will be the judges but I know that it will be some celebrity and since I do avoid being addict on a certain local TV show lately I don't do fan girling over local celebrities. I'll be more starstruck if I saw these bloggers in person. Rich Asuncion appeared and I didn't do anything I just stared at her for a second then I don't care anymore if we are on the same ground. BUT when the emcee called the HOSTS, I STARTED FAN GIRLING AS IN WHO CAN STOP YOU WHEN DIVINE LEE AND VICTOR BASA WAS ON STAGE???? SERIOUSLY.

I suddenly remembered my good friend Rachel who introduced me to read Divine's blog and ever since I followed her on Tumblr . I think that was 2010. If I knew Divine and Victor will be there I should invited Rachel because I know that she love them dearly.

Good thing my uncle let me borrow one of his lens and gotcha. I got decent photos.

D + V

and some of the photos will be posted on http://capturedbyaeivrynrv.tumblr.com/

I just want them in this post. Good Vibes . :p

Here are some more photos from that night.

sisters

with our Ms. APHS 2nd runner up

with the proud baby sister, Apples 

with Mae!!!!!

Mae was a good friend of mine way back in high school. We might not be as close as we are before but its really nice to see some familiar faces that knows you when you are still on stage of innocence. I suddenly miss Judy and Anne ... 

with Ma'am Alvea

Meet my adviser when I was in 4th year high school. She's one of the best teacher and she love me because I'm behave in her class. HAHA She even told me (in front of my mom) that she didn't recognize me (almost). *blush*.

Maybe I really left high school in the past but it was one of the best experience of my life. There was good and bad experience but that's what that stage is all about. Believe me, if there will be a time machine, I will choose to go back to high school. I will not change everything about my high school life I just want to make some more memories because some people are not the same after we left high school and that makes me sad.

Family Day . Part 2

Continuation of my Enchanted post ...

So you saw my after space shuttle face and it was a little embarrassing but not when no one is reading my posts. haha

After the ride on the Space Shuttle, I'm super lost and it took the rest of the day before I got myself back in shape at least my inner self . I rode the mini roller coaster and it makes my inner self go round and round again.

No more major stories here just pictures... Some of the pictures are from another camera so there are still some that was taken earlier that day.

see how our faces fresh? unlike the last photo on the part 1

with Apples :))

Our favorite! Flying Fiesta!

me, mom and sis

Models?

I love that hoodie! I will buy that if you can wear hoodies in this country anytime of the day but it's always sunny in here so ....

After riding the mini roller coaster, the only thing that kept me going was taking pictures and be a guardian to the kids. The next batch of photos are when we are on a face painting / henna tattoo shop because Alaine, Apples and my sister want some face paint again. 

After the face paint thingy there is this store where they sell some frozen fruits and you can choose whether it will be dipped on a chocolate or strawberry syrup and maybe add some toppings like a chocolate chips or what ... 

It was a total fun day with the family and what a way to start 2013. It was a bipolar weather that day since it was literally rain or shine day but as I said in my earlier entry, as long as the kids had fun it tops everything. :)

Enchanted Kingdom is a theme park not like Disney Land but when you are there, you will always be a kid again. ughhhh why we don't have a Disney Land in this country .... oh well, I know the answer. kbye. lol

I promised myself that I will never ever try Space Shuttle AGAIN. that one life time experience was OKAY ALREADY but dang, I want to try The Swarm. hahaha

Family Day at Enchanted Kingdom

Last January, my cousin wanted to go to Enchanted Kingdom and since its still vacation of the kids we scheduled it and we went there last January 3, 2013. I remember that the last time we went there was 2010, for Alaine's birthday. We don't usually have family outings maybe because we are living in the same town or maybe we are busy with our daily lives and we are seeing each other almost everyday and if we do out of town trips it's always the best. I mean just to forget something for couple of hours is not bad.

Whatever the reason of my personal stuff, we enjoyed that day and even if I was killed by Space Shuttle the kids did had a great time and that's all that matters. :)

me, Alaine, Apples, Bok and Dap while waiting for our tickets.

before entering the theme park .. Oh well, I think you should always have a photo out here. lol

Flying Fiesta - one of my favorite!

I know my limitation when it comes to extreme rides and that one behind us was new, its called Disc-o-Magic (if I got that right) it spins like a CD. Crazy ride, maybe next time I'll have a guts. haha!

Actually, I planned to try that at night but ... the reason will be revealed later! keep reading. haha

Sometimes, its good to be above everything

Here it is .... it reminds me of the day I was just ...

I'm the 3rd from the back on the left . . .

Still the same position and just a few seconds before we rolled!

Just after riding "THE" Space Shuttle

Here's the story, it was my first time to ride that freaking super extreme ride and it killed me! As in I wasn't able to ride another whatever ride there after and oh my good thing you wasn't able to see me after that ride. oh wait I'll post a picture haha shameless picture of myself after Space Shuttle ... 

my after Space Shuttle face

I'll end this post here.Part 2 up next . :) 

February 1st . Random update

Hello! I've been so busy lately and almost got no time to be online ... its good sometimes but maybe bad for my dying blogspot. lol

anyway, I haven't edited our picture from Enchanted last January 3rd and its now February! Well, there will always be backlogs on blogging (you can't avoid that).

A little update ... I've been watching some movies for the past week and I also read a book series and a book (awesome stories, I can't even move on most especially on books than the movies). I prefer books over movies if they have book but if they are not based on book then I prefer the movies. I'm also update to the my favorite series! Oh no, you don't want to know how I'm so connected with those series and books.

There are few things that I'm looking forward to this month, just to mention the anniversary of APHS, where you'll see bunch of familiar faces from high school and will be on that school next week where mostly I'll imagine what happened to that ground when we are still there; High School Grand Alumni, in which I'm not planning to attend; and  Paramore live in Manila 2 where I'll stalk for them and to be watching with some friends.

I'm still a little broke from the holiday season but I'm still looking forward to see some college friends although we planned to see each other last month but most of us are busy so no final plan about that.

Last night, my "ex - best friend" was in my dream, I don't know what that means and maybe tonight I'll forget about it already but when a close friend of his asked me one question, I only answered her with "seriously?".

Earlier this week and last week, I hang out with my birthmate/babes/sister/cousin, Nikka. We might do simple things in life but we're happy. We actually should be hanging out one of these days but we unfriend the guy who will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow (Happy Birthday to you btw). Belated Happy Birthday to Nikka's boyfriend and to the "ex - best friend".

After visiting Enchanted earlier last month, I haven't got the time to shoot or just do some photo walk.

I miss my friends ... Seems just like yesterday when we are just fooling around the university corridors. I always missed those days when you don't have to think complicated things just thesis, quizzes, exam .. but now we are in the "real world" where everyone seems to be your enemy and everyone is trying to put you down, where you will be only with no one but yourself.

Its Friday night and I'm confused again with movies and e-books. I guess creating my own setting in my head is better than the movies but sometimes I can't see the right characters ...

Typical Hangout

This is so overdue post ... and so 2012.

It was my birthday last December 27th and I'm happy to be celebrating it with a close friend / true friend / sister / cousin or whatever you want to label my birthmate, Nikka. 

I really don't have any plans for my birthday because, I don't know ... hehe but if there will be no plans at all I'll just stayed home and do the usual lazy day but since Nikka and I planned to see each other that day, you know just to celebrate our birthday and we decided not the day before because we don't want to experience that bullshit we got last 2011. So we celebrate as simple as we can as in just the typical hangout we does every now and then. We just got some pizza and spaghetti (my aunt send me a cake the day before .. Thanks for that!) and she got this cocktail drink.  

It rained that night and that sucks because we can't walk outside but maybe it was a blessing after all. We invited a friend good thing he showed up and I gave him an A+ for effort on buying us ice cream but earlier this year Nikka and I dumped him to his circle of friends (he's part of that bullshit we experienced last 2011 but we are still in good terms but earlier this year something happened. I thought last year was the total opposite of it but the result of that invite occurs earlier this year) but on the good side, Nikka's boyfriend was able to stay even for a while.

It was a straight 3 birthday celebration with this girl and I'm happy that we are sticking to each other when everyone around us is so confused with their lives. We might not see each other just like the past year but we both have a simple goal. :)

Thank you to everyone (family and friends) who never failed to remember my birthday. I'll send you billions of virtual hugs and kisses :)
