Flashback Friday : AHSE Edition

Since Instagram started the flashback friday hashtag, I'm doing some flashback in here. This will be like 30 photos and I'll try to reduced it but I can't promise. lol 

Boys, sorry but I don't have a lot of photos with you or at least your photos most of my photos are us (aneengs). but I love you guys.. :) 

The photos are mostly blurred or on low quality because it was just the year when everyone don't have a digital camera, a DSLR, an android phone, an Apple products, we just have Nokia or at least Motorola phones on our hands, laptop is a still unpopular by then (for us at least). So the photos that I have is either small, low quality or blurred and those are the days that we don't care if the photos are blurred or clear the most important is that we captured those moments, that smile on our faces. 

Alright maybe I'll start with our 18th birthdays' then I'll tell something I remember.

Josh's 18th birthday, since she's the first from us who celebrated her 18th birthday. It was a simple birthday celebration with her family and friends and that was a Sunday at Greenhills. (12.23.2007)

This is my 18th birthday celebration, I refuse to have a formal party and I achieved what I wanted, a swimming party with friends and family (12.27.2007)

This was Angela's 18th birthday at Trinoma 

I don't have photos of Mel's birthday because as far as I remember, we went in their place in Alabang and there was a videoke but there are no pictures ... haha . 

The next photos will be so random as in I don't know what are the order of the photos but I definitely know what is the first. lol 

this was our very first photo in college. I believe. It was that we are waiting for a picture to be developed or it was the day that we decided to have a studio picture ... 

Oha ... If I'm not mistaken the upper photo was when we are waiting to be photograph on the studio or we are waiting for it to be developed. AHHH first year ... how about you guys, do you still prefer to have a photo on a studio or you are just blasting your phones and high tech camera to have a picture with you friends?

Now the random order will begin ... because I really don't know what was taken when . 

ahhh RLE lecture days ... after our PE which was swimming it was a 6 hours straight class. 3 hours for RLE then History then English (there's 80% that I'm right) lol

Going home via LRT with Josh and Zarah ... that's a habit. Never a dull moment when you have Zarah on the train. :D

waiting for our classroom and goofing around with the most vain person I know back then, Karlo. I miss you pot. 

this was after a final examination and there's the mouth of Candido .. haha you can't mess with the zeesters :p

when we are waiting for our not so favorite professor and her subject ... Nat Sci .. Veri giving us that.. and Matthew reviewing? maybe we had an exam that day and Wataru just messing with his phone and that was Angela who was covered of Wa's phone. 

one of the rare group picture that we have. but definitely one of my favorite :)

HAHAHA . even though Mel wasn't prepared yet and I think Jocelyn was the one who took this ... I don't have any more fun facts about this but this was when we are on our Filipino class and it's either we are just done with an exam or it was the end of first semester.

aww.. picture from our favorite fast food chain / my favorite Mcdo place (it holds/witness so many memories)

this was a stolen shot and this was when I treated them for my 17th birthday it was January 4, 2007. I forgot  who are there exactly beside from my zeesters but I knew Candido, Karlo, Matthew was there. I'm not sure if Sepi and Karlo B. was there... 

I think this was taken during our lecture on Computer ... while waiting for the professor. definitely my favorite photo together with my zeesters <3 

I forgot when was this taken ... yes, Josh take some of her stuff toys on school. Meet Pikachu. And I think this was included in here because of Pikachu. hahaha

ahhh... the day we had a trip to Alabang to do a project for Chemistry. We went to Mel's place and went home in Manila with Angela. I will never forget that moment when Angela and I went home from Alabang because it was a nice trip on an ordinary bus and we talked about anything. It was like a road trip but somehow scary because we left Alabang like 9pm already.

I think the story of this photo was, Mel was not our classmate anymore then Josh and I are not in good terms when this was taken ... I'm not sure about Mel being not our classmate anymore but I'm sure that Josh and I are not in good terms that time. and I think Wataru took this.

Clear and vivid. Mel was not our classmate anymore in here and Josh and I are just done with our PE and we passed by at Mel's Chemistry room.

Crystal clear. this was taken when we are in front of Tayuman. playing with Wataru's new phone and we took lots of pictures. haha

Swimming class ... so many memories on our swimming class from leaving FEU to Cuneta Astrodome and back.

Speaking of swimming class, just one of the moment when Josh, Angela and I was a little bit late to catch the bus that will bring us to Cuneta Astrodome, that's why we took a cab. and we get super vain back there. lol

yes, Josh brought Furby sometimes. and it was fun talking to that toy. haha it will not be a boring day when Josh brought Furby but she will be so selfish to share it. hahaha 

Not that its so clear to me but... this was when I already shift to Psychology but sometimes Josh and I still go home together and that day we drop by to see some former classmates doing their practice to whatever.. haha

give credit to the person who love to do photoshop before, Karlo. This was when we watched Step Up 2 at Gateway.

another cab vain moments while on our way to Cuneta Astrodome for Swimming class.

with Angela at Trinoma. I forgot why we are in Trinoma but we're with Pugo ... and I forgot the rest. :|

Just when your Economics professor is cool and look liked Teddy of Rocksteddy. lol The best thing about Sir Paguta was, he will join us on lunch after this class because it was 12nn-1:30pm class.

taken during our waiting-for-a-professor moment on Literature.

done with the cab-vain moments and that's us when we are not late and maybe we are early to join our classmates on the bus heading to Cuneta Astrodome for Swimming class.

That's it pancit! my first ever Flashback Friday. I don't want to promise to do this every week. So if you just graduated on grade school or high school make some memories by taking photos but be sure you'll secure them ALL. you will never know when there will be a Flashback Friday contest or a Throwback Thursday. HAHA

Seriously, you guys or at least your generation is so lucky to have those high tech gadgets/camera/phone to capture those moments and those social networking stuff. Look at my photos its so crappy and blurred but I love those moments, full of memories. I really wish I started blogging by then so it will be a very big diary.

Even though some of us are not in good terms now, I still love these people.

Enjoy your summer! I know your thankful that school was over again but you will miss it so enjoy your vacation before you hit schools again on June. HAHA :) 

Have fun! :)

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.
