The Thespian's Knife

It’s been a few months since I’ve published my last blog post. School life was kind of busier now that I’m on my last year in senior high. Lots of events happened while I was “AFK” or should I say “AFB” meaning “away from blogging” to be exact. I started to develop myself in other aspects – socialization in particular, as I prepare myself for what I expect as an extraversion-oriented college…

Someone Put a Better Melody to this Shitty Poem XD

I’m a book A book that one could just easily read All their doubts Their looks go straight unto me

I’m too shy To say what I really think or feel But they see They see the words marked in me

Refrain: I was cut and sewn And my blood’s the ink of my own I was sold. outlived. and outgrown For the benefit of unknown

I was the one you said That you love even if I am dead I’m a book and nothing more

I’m a novel A…

Why I Left Blogging (and Why I Came Back To It)

Hi! I just logged myself back into WordPress after a year of inactivity. I have been deleting my old drafts as I start anew. I just want to tell why I’d seemed of “stopped” doing any blogs. It’s an easy question to answer. I have been busy (life’s always busy) doing school work and other-things-that-I-think-would-make-sense-but-just-a-lie-kind-of-sense work. I have also been too lazy ever since…

Hey guys! It’s been a long time since I last updated this blog. Well nobody reads it anyway so who cares? :D

First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who congratulated me for my achievements this school year. Truly everyone of you were a part of who I am now.

So I don’t have much things to talk about. Let’s skip to my story for today.

So I was browsing my old files in my computer…

Are you just shy Why don’t you tell my why Why don’t we get this fixed Before we’d just say goodbye

I can see it from your freckled face And your white sparkly teeth Like the ones from the grizzly bears Desperate for flesh and meat

I can see it from your nose That smell the fragrance of the rose I gave when we first met And the memories we’ll never forget

I can hear it through your ears When the…

Ina Pa rin Kita

Pagbigyan… Madalang lang ako sumulat ng tula sa wikang Filipino :D

Nagsimula ang lahat sa pagkapanganak ng supling Pinalaki, inaruga ng may ingat at lambing Ako na nga pala ang iyong tanging kapiling Isang anak na hindi mo pala hiniling

Ito nga ba ang tadhana para sa atin? Ng dahil sa aking ama sa likod ng salamin Di ko man nakita na siya’y iyong inibig Nalunod sa tuksong nagpainit ng lamig

Ako…

  How exciting it is to light up the flames Another chance to enjoy and make some memories Peeping out the windows, I can see the lights Prowling through the vastness of the starry skies Yet it seems like the happiness feels colder than ice

No matter how I shout loud for so long         Even if I try to play my loudest song Whoa, it still seems like something is wrong

You know that it’s tough to…

The Price of Ideas

Let’s go back to the purpose of this blog. I don’t intend this to be just for myself. Though sometimes you’ll notice that I write some personal articles, I prefer to stick to my vision as to let them hear my voice about this world (that I often find misleading cynical things from). It’s complicated still.

So I just want to go straight to the point about this. “Everything has a price.” Even…

We are all the (different) same

It’s been on the front pages and headlines – black vs. white, women abuse and discrimination, genocides, LGBT marriages, elitism, etc. Humans have predicted that someday, one of us will stand up alive amidst the blazing wars, riots, and tight competition.

I watched a documentary yesterday about the idea of superior races (it’s from the Morgan Freeman science-show thing). They found out that…

Facebook, the introvert’s virtual paradise

I was thinking about this for a few days (to think that I’ve confirmed myself – through a couple of personality tests with the same results) that how I expose myself in social media makes way for myself to make sense (sorry about how INTJ’s really wanna make sense).

So I looked it up online and saw this post. I’m not gonna right much more about this.. This link says it all.

Even though, if I…

Osu greeted me with an update :D

It may be true that some of us may not be able to celebrate Christmas at all, but the best part is that we remember God who sent Jesus Christ to save us from our sins.

That’s the true spirit of Christmas right, guys?

Also, I sent an email to my loved ones with this poem :D

The sky may not pour snow Fireworks come and go We just want to show To say and greet hello

Song of the Day

Celebrate ATL fans, I’m officially a new fan too :) ;) :D

Now Playing: Missing You by All Time Low

Lyrics:

I heard that you’ve been Self-medicating in the quiet of your room, Your sweet, suburban tomb. And if you need a friend, I’ll help you stitch up your wounds.

I heard that you’ve been Having some trouble finding your place in the…

I just want to speak for a brief moment in behalf of my fellow INTJ’s:

We are not a bunch of crazy nerds living our own worlds. We would just want to make sense for our own. Period.

PS: We can be cold at times, but we love y’all :D

I was just bored, so I wrote a song.. Note: Everything is fictional

Verse I can’t walk on snow Without a thick fur coat But I can’t live this life If you leave me, please don’t I am fine without gifts If that’s what’s supposed of me But my young soul uplifts When I feel you here with me Refrain But where have you gone? Last night was just fun And I don’t remember you saying “I’m sorry but we’re done” And far…

But before I would start, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to WordPress and its affiliates, for making this simple blog a success.

Enough with these cliche acknowledgements, let’s start the story.

Note: It would be better to read this blog while playing the songs, or the other way round if you hate my music taste :P

Playing: Shine On by The Amity Affliction. Lyrics Here.

It has been a busy week for me (even though I started drafting this post on Wednesday, I already made a prediction). And I know that it’s not just me, it’s my whole gang, friends, classmates, schoolmates. The whole world’s busy (as always).

The major reason why I was busy is the preparation for our quiz bee held last Friday.

Day 1: Sunday

I was currently doing random things, playing osu (this game is quite a long story, so I have to write a whole article about it here), listening to music, singing along, and a few Facebook posts and chats.

This is Osu! I’m gonna make a blog about this game sometime

Day 2: Monday

This morning I was “summoned” (is it the right word? xD) by my science teacher for this review. I was having this initial awkward feeling gushing to my veins as I make my way to get along with a few fellow Aquinians forming our team for the said quiz bee.

Plus, I just told you guys that it was a busy week so the coaches were quite busy too. Good thing we had the strength to borrow a few handouts for our self review.

Nothing much happened, just a few “boys’ talks” and two instances of going to the canteen for spicy hotdogs.

The teachers gave us a reviewer though.. would like to share it with you guys :)

Day 3: Tuesday

‘Tis the second day of our review for the Quiz Bee. But instead of focusing on our studies, we had mastered a daily routine. What routine is it you ask?

> 2 Spicy hotdogs per day > Same random talk when the teacher’s not there ;) > Going home earlier than expected

It was fun, but never we realized that the next day would be the last day we will ever enjoy. :(

Instead of spending time, I just took some photos of the book I was reading, Who knew that “Eutrophication” would make much sense?

Also I remembered seeking shelter underneath the bleacher seats of the sports complex. I sat there for a few minutes with my phone charging on a nearby socket.

Singing in my head like “He’s banging your friend underneath the bleachers..”

Day 4: Wednesday

Today’s the last day of our review for the Quiz Bee we call “Tagisan ng Talino” to be held in the Concepcion Plaza (is it Plazuela?). We had a quite rigid review (plus the same daily routine).

We only have limited time left, so we had a rush through a couple of books in the library. Plus the Kasalesayan book (about the History of Concepcion) our Araling Panlipunan Teacher gave us.

Rush, rush, rush

I guess my bag’s ready though.

Again, my lone bag, in the perspective of my waiting bench

That night, I had to finish our SIM (Strategic Intervention Material) for our Math subject. Usual habit of sleeping at 12:24 in the midnight.

Theme: One Punch Man!!

I didn’t feel the excitement and nervousness yet. But I did feel conscious about myself, not having enough time to review my notes.

Day 5: Thursday (The Big Day)

So the day has come. We said our prayers, held our palms together and shout “May Forever!!”. We just had fun, I told them the same. It’s God’s choice who wins and deserves the victory.

Filler: I just listened to All Time Low, and they’re “toATLly” cool!!

Sad to say, we didn’t win the competition – we didn’t get to maintain the 4-year streak B.S. Aquino had. But something has come into my mind: That forever comes with the price of absolutely never giving up.

What actually happened: The quizmaster asked “Evaluate three over five raised to three..” The other school interpreted that as (3/5)^3. In our perspective (that there was actually no “quantity” or () said in the question, we turned into 3/5^3 (totally different answer).

Caluluan High School: 27/125 BS. Aquino National HIgh School: 3/125

You guys decide. :3

Good thing our schoolmates were there with full support. Our teacher was firm in his defense of our answer. But the question was just deemed VOID.

We lost motivation, and we just gave up. That’s a mistake we did.

Still, we’re happy that we still get to receive the same amount of cash price :P .  Kidding, we are contented enough.

Fake smile? No, we’re still happy.

Day 6: Friday

Today is my rest day, so the three of us (me, my mom and sis) went to SM Clark. Actually, my sister was just about to buy a pair of stockings for their Teacher’s Night. I just joined them.

While waiting for the next bus..

Hungry? Go for Mr. Kimbob’s Meat Lover’s (I repeat, I’m not an endorser). I just love Kimchi, much as how my sister hates it :D .

Food court adventures..

Mmmmmm..

Then before we were about to go home, I just came across a fortunate serendipity. Guitars in Lyric were <some percent> off. So I got myself an early Christmas present. Thanks Sis! :D

Actually I was supposed to buy an electronic keyboard, but I just realized keyboards doesn’t feel the same way. I preferred the practice snare drum kit, but my mom insisted on the guitar, so..

“Nashville” sounds familiar :3

Day 7: Today, Saturday

The whole day I was back into the computer, making some changes to my blog and writing this lengthy blog post.

I’m nearly done.. *sigh*

To sum it all up, it was really a busy week today. But one thing to note here: Busy is different from productive / fruitful. Being busy means doing a lot of things, but being fruitful means learning from them.

So that’s all for this week. Have a nice day everyone :D :D .

Sabi nga nila, “Hindi araw-araw ay pasko”. We always encounter a point in our lives when we did the best we can, but seemed like we’re held back.

It comes to mind that we’re not playing a fair game. But that is the point. We are in a biased world, we can never avoid that. The only thing we can do is to carry on, ask for God’s advice, and think, think hard, until you overturn the odds to your…
