Look back and avoid getting hit or ignore it and keep going forward?
Words could be statements of our declaration, yet effortless in comparison with the single most important thing about whatever statement we may have: doing it.
Honestly speaking, my past is important to me...
How about you guys? Do you prefer to leave your past behind or have it as a part of your life?
In need of opinions.
* ... for me, there's always a high probability of the enemy showing up from behind.
Got this from my sister's blog. Said it came from a friend's SMS.
"Just because my eyes have no tears doesn't mean my heart doesn't cry. And just because I come out strong doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. Sometimes I choose to pretend I'm happy, so I don't have to explain myself to people who'll never understand. Smiling has always been easier than explaining why I'm sad."
No further comments.
... they're resonating.
Changing the mood i always had whenever i'm posting positively about the output of every performances my band(s), i won't be taking credit for everything [as one might say]. In fact, i'll state the complete opposite.
Well, so much for my last gig with Armada. I totally messed up with things. I relied too much with the "standing-in-toes" technique and went off blank. I played random notes uneven for the first song "Kiss Me Goodbye". That's the biggest error i've done so far. Anyway, until the end i tried that technique [except for Shissou which i memorized the tune but still missed] and so far i lacked some life with the final OPM song "If".
But before going to that OPM, i went back to the bass. My fingers got stiff and my stamina dropped, so you can hear errors within my basslines. So to sum my performance up, i sucked as usual.
I am, although i'm full of errors, proud with Armada. I'm just a little disappointed with myself because as for my last gig with them before i leave, i did my worst performance ever. And it was i who said i'll do my best. Just Jeremiah's statement: "losers whine about their best." Sounds like i got hit with his slug.
Speaking of Jeremiah, i'm quite disappointed with myself considering my self-declaration of being his "bestfriend"... and i couldn't do anything about his problems. I've also lacked time communicating with him. I feel not worthy being his friend right now. I wish i could find some way to make it up with him.
Anyway, after the gig... K2 summoned me via Edsel. It seemed like his post on my "blurtbox" about talking for old time's sake was afterwards. I think he read something within my blog and he wants to talk about it. And i was partly right, it was about my posts.
When i came, things were kind of shortlived. We talked about some things of the past, concerning what i have posted 4 months ago. He hasn't read it ever, perhaps just this month, that's why he wanted to clear things out. We finished that conversation with a conclusion: "it was an old post and things went better already."
BTW, FrolicNight had their live at Brickroad, Cainta with Kat's Prod. I didn't see them play [di ako umabot] but Edsel observed things for me, and as the guitarman he is now i know he did his job well to listen with their output. And i am proud with 3ple, i knew he had it in him. ^^,
Although my presence there pissed some people a bit, the one i really missed the most is 3ple. I still know what i have done, and it really feels awkward for me to face them knowing these things. The only thing i could do for those concerned is to shut up. `tis sad that i've let things go this way.
But the good thing is that, nothing violent happened. Diplomacy rules. ^^,
I guess things are over concerning that issue. I've closed the book on my side already.
Meanwhile... after about a year of pending invitation, my former "II-Dumagat" advisor Aouie Enrile finally added me up on her friends' list in Friendster. I was kind of looking forward to the day that i could post a testimonial to my most favorite advisor of all time, i just hope she approves my testimonial. =]
Election period's started. Who will you vote?
Me? I haven't even registered. ^^,
* No countdowns yet.
Just a small SMB Commercial teaser... oi Manny jok lang to a. ^^,
Wala akong magawa, honestly... pero nakita nyo na ba yung latest advertisement ng SMB featuring Pacquiao & Morales? Nung unang makita ko tong ad na ito a few weeks ago e natawa agad ako sa initial impression ko. Unang naisip ko: "What the hell... bakit ganun?" Kaya naisipan kong abangan sa TV Tuner ko ang ad at ni-record ko, then with the help of some screenshots e nagkaroon ako ng ganitong mga images sa baba nitong post ko. Pagpasensyahan nyo na kung di maganda pagkakaphotoshop ko sa main pic since this is intended for humor purposes only.
Walang ibig sabihing masama at hindi ito propaganda panlaban ke Manny dahil tatakbo sha sa eleksyon.
Anyway, magsimula na tayo.
Kapag narinig mo yun katagang "WALA KA'NG KATULAD, MANNY..." ano ang unang papasok sa isip mo?
Bibigyan ko kayo ng scenario. Read on.
