Sundays

Hmm, so I almost had an unproductive day, until I found out that there was homework. So what I did today was:

Woke up at 10. Ate Breakfast. Used the Computer. Went to Jollibee for lunch. Went home. Used the computer. Power outage. Played Guitar. Used the computer. Did Physics. Ate Dinner. Did another poem for Filipino, while using the computer.

And here's my filipino poem.

Silaw
Hindi niya makita ang mga bituin sa langit
May masmaliwanag sa kanyang buhay
Hindi niya kailangan
May sarili siyang ilaw at ako’y nasisilaw

Ngumingiti ang buwan
Tumatawa ang mga planeta
Lahat na nakakakita nito ay nakikisaya
Nakikikanta at nakikisayaw
Hindi niya pinapansin
Takip ang kanyang mata
Ang nakikita lang niya ay araw at dilim

“Sa araw lang may liwanag” lagi niyang sinasabi
“Sa araw lang. Sa araw lang”
At ako’y nalulungkot

Alam ko’y naroon ang mga tala
Alam ko’y alam rin niya
Sana’y makita niya
Sana’y matandaan niya
Sana’y muling matuklasan niya
Ang kagandahan ng gabi at ng kalawakan

Unproductivity

Hooray. I barely did anything today. Basically, what I did was refresh some pages on the internet, get bored, open dawn of war and do a skirmish, close dawn of war, refresh more pages, check to see who was online, chat if there was anyone online, and repeat.

That sucks doesn't it? Repetitiveness.

You know what, I know it'd suck to do the same thing over and over, but where would we be without habit? I mean, cycles and stuff are what make up our universe. I guess we can't leave home without them.

Now that was just a sad attempt to be philosophical or to try to give reason to my repetitiveness.

Yes, now I'm trying to extend my blog post.

Pisay Fair Day 2

WOOO SIR GUCE BAND. Wala lang. That's probably the freshest thing in my mind after last night. Aside from all the other great bands I mean. I think that was the most sulit concert I've ever watched. Imagine, around 20 bands for P150? That's really cheap. Okay, aside from the eheads concert, yeah.

Lets go through the bands I remember.

Mike's Apartment - They were great even if I only saw a part of their performance. Great enough that I bought their album! :)) One of the bassist gods i saw that night was also in this band.

Guce Band (In Memory of the Eleventh Finger) - SIR GUCE! TEACHER KO SIYA LAST YEAR! Ahahahaha. Galing talaga ni Sir. Kung naging vocalist ako one day, idol ko si sir guce. His crazy actions were the best. I can't explain it in words. I hope someone videoed it. :))

Giniling Festival - As always, they're fun to watch. They sang a "Philippine Science" song too so yeah. Also, during their last performance, the drummer became their vocalist and their vocalist became their drummer. Oh and I caught their drumstick :>

Pisay Fair Day 1

The pisay fair this year seems to be better than last years fair. There's actually stuff in the field this time! I don't know what happened to my booth though. I barely paid attention to it today. Maybe I should go check it out tomorrow. I actually paid more attention to Cesiums booth. Reason for that is because I lent my wii to them. BRAWL!

Finally I had people to fight against again. Ever since my brother left for China my wii's kinda been on standby mode since he plays it more than I do. When he gets back I have to be able to beat him at Super Smash Bros. Brawl :)) Thats next next week I think.

I didn't really do much today aside from play at the battle of the bands. It was fun though. Really really really tired though. There's the concert tomorrow. Oh and my friends are coming over woohoo!

Yet another filipino poem. This time it's free verse though, and it's still a draft since Sir Jogon still has to check it. I'll probably go through 2 more edits.

Kuntento
Wala akong dahilan na maging malungkot
Umagang umaga pa lang at maliwanag ang araw
Walang masamang taong sumisipot
Naglalakad lang ako sa sariling kong isipan

Tinutukso ako ng mga nakikita ko
Bumubulong sila sa aking tenga
Parang isang mahirap sa bahay ng mayaman
Sa bahay ng isang abogado
Sa bahay ng isang presidente
Lahat ng kagamitan ay nakikita
Naiingit, napapaisip na lagi nalang ganito

Gusto ko ng masmaliwanag na araw
Na hindi ko na makita ang sarili ko
Ang mga ulap ay masyadong maputi para sakin
Uulan rin mamaya
Uulan kahit anong gawin natin
Babagyo kahit anong gawin natin

Nahuhulog ako sa sarili kong kasuwapangan
Nalulunod ako sa maalat na kape

Yet again more gibberish from Joaq. I wonder if there's some planet out there where my poetry is actually not gibberish and is good. I'd love to visit that place someday. Or maybe some alternate universe where I'm a super genius. That would be fun.

Filipino Poem

Another Filipino Poem. Guess what it's about!

Sa Dulo ng Mundo

Doon, malamig at kalmado ang hangin
Walang damdamin na kailangan pansinin
Walang problema na kailangan isipin
Wag magalinlangan, sumama ka sa ’min

Wala ring taong mahirap o mayaman
Pantay lahat sa ating pupuntahan
Halika at sumali, wag kang lumaban
Walang bawal sumama sa aming daan

Lahat ng tao ay mapupunta roon
Hindi na maibabalik ang kahapon
Tadhana nila ang sa lugar na iyon
Araw ng kanilang paghusga ay ngayon

Ang araw dito ay hindi sumisikat
Mga lihim nito hindi kumakalat
Walang problema dahil problema’y wala
Ang kanilang buhay babalik sa lupa

Rosal Outing

Wahahaha. It was great. After stressing over so many things (and having the parents and Gaby bailing me out of certain concerns) we finally got to do that Rosal reunion at my house. We spent more time there than last time. Although we kinda did less than last time, I think it was still as fun.

Wooo! Go Rosal!

Okay. Now that that's over, Magnesium, christmas party? :))

Almost Rosal Reunion

I'm excited wahahaha.

I still have a lot to fix though. Finalizing people who aren't going, transpol and food. Now I know how Gaby feels D: Oh, and I haven't packed yet.

I should learn from this and apply it right now. Right? Yeah. I need to be more responsible and stuff.

I'm sure it'll push through.

Filipino Poem

I made this poem for Filipino class as a requirement. I was never really good at making poems and I always use random gibberish as a topic. This random gibberish is particularly emo-ish, not that I was emo when I wrote this, its just fairly easy to write sad things.

Dumidilim

Ilang oras na akong nakatunganga?
Wala akong magawa, nakatulala
Lumulubog ang araw sa‘king bintana
Lumalabas ang buwan at dumidilim na


Hindi ko naiintidihan kung bakit,
Ang aking puso ay lalong sumasakit
Ang aking lalamunan ay naiipit
Ganito ba dahil ako’y naiinggit?


Kahit alam ko na mahirap tanggapin
Hindi ko napipigilan ang damdamin
Kinakamusta na ako ng bituin
Tinutukso ako ng lamig ng hangin


Kahit anong gawin ko, anumang asa
Walang magbabago sa mga planeta
Gusto ng puso ko ng katahimikan
Ibibigay ba ito ng kalawakan?

See? Emo.

Super short week

I'm looking forward to this week, for one, the rosal outing is getting closer, and another, we only have 2 days of school this week! Woohoo! It's because of the NCE thing. The teachers are all going to the provinces to help test the future potential Philippine Science students. Yeah.

At least we don't have school and we can have a break from all the stress. I just hope that there isn't some cruel teacher out there that's going to give us some sort of hell homework for the 5 day weekend. Bleh. I hate those kinds of homeworks. I'm gonna end up cramming it I swear.

Nothing to do

Since there isn't a lot of work to do today, and I'm kinda bored I think I should blog.

Lets see. What's there to blog about? I could go and say something about Obama winning the US elections, but then again, I don't really have much to say. Congratulations to him. The Philippines could use a bit of that change too.

Darn I have too many songs on my iTunes that I haven't listened to. That really sucks. Aha.

Lets just recap this week. I miss those week recaps. This should count as two blog posts. Ahahaha.

Monday
Woo finally we're back in the Science and Humanities building since part of the second floor burned down. Good because we don't need to move around much anymore. Not good because we don't need to move around much anymore. Ahaha. Oh well.

Oh and homerooms aren't going to be fun anymore since we're back in the normal classroom. There was something about the boy's dorm library that made homeroom different. Although I'd have a sore throat after, we'd have some sort of Mg fun then.

I hope we're able to bond soon. Mg Party? I'm an Organization Fail so we'll see.

Tuesday
I barely remember yesterday. Probably because it wasn't that much of a fun day. We had a make up math class so yeah. Not that I don't like word problems, I'd take word problems over normal algebra any day. At least they're fun to think about and figure out, unless it involves failing of course.

Wednesday (Today)
Today was alright. It wasn't so bad and it wasn't so good. I think I didn't do so well in the Chem LT today. Oh well, lets wait and see.

I want Red Alert 3. Oh and I also need to clear a lot of space on this computer. Pleh.

I think I should go and read Memoirs of a Geisha today to make the most of today.

Dreams

These kinds of dreams are the worst.

I dreamt that I was sitting at my computer. Normal everyday wak stuff. Surfing, YM-ing, and all that. Next thing I did was I opened my firefox windows. Then I went over to my comp sci blog. Yes this blog. I then typed a blog entry. I don't remember what it was about but I know that I knew what I was typing during the dream itself and that the entry was pretty long. Right after I posted it, I woke up.

Worst part is that it would've been a great dream if I actually remembered what I typed during the dream so I could just retype it here.

Damnit, now I have to type a real comp sci blog entry.

At least I can blog about the dream. :))

XCE

Aw. I'm gonna miss my brother. He's left for China on (almost) the same educational trip I went to before. It's the Xavier China Experience, a study trip to China that focuses on developing and actually using the Chinese language skills they learn in Xavier.

I hope that my brother will learn independence and all that other stuff from living away from us and I hope that this trip will become a life changing experience for him.

I wonder if he'll get thinner.

It's gonna be lonely I guess for 6 weeks, but I should make the most of it. Hahaha.

Sembreak Syndrome

Symptoms include:

• Procrastination
• Laziness
• Inattentiveness in class
• Unwillingness to go to school
• Constant ideas that there is no school the next day, even if there is
• Dragging weekends that feel short and unproductive

Usually develops a few days after a semestral break. The height of the sickness is usually experienced during the weekend after.

MC Fair

Our first gig out of pisay :))

Hahaha. I guess it went well. There weren't really that many people to boo us if we sucked, but based on feedback from the people who watched us, we did pretty good.

We played Megalomaniac, Sing for Absolution, Wish you were Here and did a last minute Alapaap at the end.

I made a few mistakes during Megalomaniac, but I think that the rest our set were alright.

Bear Zero!

Retreat

Wooh finally a retreat that actually kinda worked. I believe that this retreat was exponentially better than any recollection that pisay gave us in the past two years. So why don't I recap the 3 days of our retreat?

Friday
Most of what we did on this day was just getting used to the place and having some talks (well actually that's probably the only thing we did). The best part of this day was at night, where we had Human Bingo, where we went around and asked other people to sign this piece of paper under certain label's such as "Will you be my Prom Date" and "I love you". It was pretty fun even if I didn't really follow all of the labels. Ahahaha. After that we had a giant board game thing. It was fun because of the consequences they had to do for each square. My mind is also now scarred from what Franco did. Enough said.

Saturday
More Talks. Fun activities, bonding with room mates on the mysteries of the universe and spiritual enlightenment. O:

At night palanca giving and yeah. Palanca giving. *tear*

Sunday
Prayer in the morning then mass, then we left for home.

Wow I typed less and less as the days went by. I'm going to fix that some time.

I'm not an Idiot! Woo!

Sembreak.

SEMBREAK. I can't believe we actually have one. Well, it's actually thanks to the fire but yeah. I'm thankful we have one. Too bad mine is already jam packed full of activities and business.

I'm gonna studio with sina Kevin on tuesday and wednesday if it pushes through. We're supposed to have some Rosal thing this week also. We're going to Joe's house onThursday too. Friday's retreat. So yeah, so much for a free sembreak.

I hope that I have lots of fun this week.

Oh yeah, I forgot, we still have requirements due on monday D:

English and Soc Sci. I should go do them already.

Perio Week 2 Part 2

Well, it's finally Perio again tomorrow. It's gonna start in the afternoon and it seems we're gonna be using new classrooms. I can't imagine how we're going to be able to take our Periodic Tests in the Dorm. The girls dorm for that matter. Are they going to set up chairs or something? Hahaha. I thought they all burned.

Well, I think that afternoon is better for me. I get to study well early morning. I think that I wasn't able to study so well today anyway. So I'm taking tomorrow morning as my best chance to be able to finish all the work that needs to be done in Chem.

Kailangan ko bawiin ang mga bagsak na long test. Kaya ko yan.

Go Joaq!

Laziness

I thought that this break thing would allow us to study.

From what I can see from it, it's just making me counter productive. I'm not studying at all. I'm just lazing around because I really don't feel like doing anything. I hope that typing about it allows me to do something about it soon. I might even forget to post on this blog out of laziness.

Maybe that's why I'm still posting now.

Burn

Forget my last entry. Perio week seems to have been suspended for the next few days because out of some strange happening, Pisay caught fire. It's so surreal. When I woke up, I couldn't believe the texts I was recieving at first.

I went online a while later and I noticed that everyone was online. Grabe. I still can't believe it. Darn. I just repeated what I said. That's how messed up everything seems to be. Pisay was also on the news today.

I hope I spend this time to study at least.

Perio Week 2

Sounds like a sequel to some B horror movie. It may as well be one for the fear it strikes into the hearts of the people who fail and struggle to run away from/defeat the title character. This quarter though, it seems like I have lost all will to be afraid or worry about these Periodic tests. Passiveness could be one word to sum it up. Laziness could be another.

This leads me to think about my identity in school. I get high grades. I study at times. I work when I feel like it. In the end, I get grades that I'm happy with.

Please don't bombard me with "Oh but Joaq, you're smart, you get such high grades, you don't need to study and you still get high". Sometimes okay, I admit, you can rub it in, you can tell me that I'm a nerd. Sometimes though because of these comments, and because of my lack of self-esteem, my accomplisments seem empty to think that all I can do is be good at my studies. I'm not someone who is really talented like other people in our batch, or someone who can do amazing extraordinary things with whatever. I've always seen what I'm capable of doing as something normal and something not worth praise.

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.

Go Study Math

Darn I've wasted too much time today. I have to study math now. I don't even know why I'm blogging this. Maybe just to remind me that I need to study already.

Go Joaq. Study.

Hell Morning

Today we had the most hellish morning in the history of Magnesium. Well, maybe not the most hellish but it comes pretty close to it. Lets go through the day shall we?

It's Comp Sci right now, blogging.

First subject was Math 4. We had a Sir Nat Speed Test. Hooray for Sir Nat! Not hooray for us. At least how he teaches us is effective. He teaches well, and it's only through our hardwork and quick mindedness can we pass his subject. I lack both. That's why I believe I failed this Hell Morning Requirement.

Second subject was Bio 2. We had a Natural Killer Long Test. As I was eating my lunch today, the other classes who came out were swearing with Bio attached to it. Must be my fault that Bio was hard. I barely studied last night for I was watching the latest episode of Heroes. Waaaay better than studying for Bio. I paid the price for choosing happiness over work.

Third subject was English 3 LT. It wasn't so bad. Pretty easy actually. Good thing I read it. Moving on.

Fourth subject was Chem 2. We had our practical test. I have a feeling Sir Manoop is out to get me. I made a mistake with computation and he accused me of wasting the reagent (which I kinda did for getting too much).

I hope I can make up for these requirements in the Perio. I have to be able to finish "Kitchen God's Wife" this weekend as well.

You just lack self confidence and motivation. Go Joaq!

Recently on

Lets randomize shall we? Okay uh, so something random.

What's been happening recently? Well, I've been sleeping late and that's not good. Just a while ago, I fell asleep in Physics class, not that it's a big deal, but I rarely do fall asleep. It's not something I've done since, well since the Xavier China Experience, where we had really boring teachers who you could barely understand.

Imagine being taught Biology in an accent you barely understand, plus with grammatical errors and strange Chinese-English fusion syntax. I'm sure you can barely understand me as I try to desperately explain it, so yeah, something like that.

Back to the main topic, yeah, I've been falling asleep. So the most obvious cause to that would be because I've been sleeping late. I don't think I've been sleeping late because I stay up too late to do requirements. Sometimes, I just don't feel like sleeping. I have no discipline to sleep. It's like, sure sleeping feels really good and refreshing, but my laziness has gotten to the point where I don't want to get up from my computer seat and move to my bed and just sleep. I never thought that was possible, until Pisay that is. Hypothesis is, its messing with my common sense.

Oh and I hope I get to watch that new Heroes season soon. My internet is too slow to watch anything as of now. It's a wonder I'm able to post this blog entry.

Periodic High-ness

There are times when I type gibberish for no reason. Now is one of those times.

Blue parakeets fly with my glitter glue
Why should we care?
They are eating away at the bright blue hue
No one wants to spare

The ocean is eaten
The sky is being eaten
The land is eaten

What of the blue that devours my soul?
Coins, clicking in my pocket
What of the glue that keeps it whole?
I'm flying high on a super jet rocket.

Super Jet Rocket. Rocket!
Jet to deep blue.

Persian Restaurant

Yum yum. Persian food is good. Straight from the Middle East.

I'm just posting this because last week, the Persian restaurant at our building finally opened. They have really good food at cheap affordable prices.

It feels good to eat foreign food, especially when you know that its somehow, authentically foreign. We kinda know the owners and stuff, and yeah, they used to be from the Middle East, but moved here. They've been living here for quite a while now.

Oh, and you can never go wrong with Pita Bread. And Hummous. It's delicious.

Visit some time at Corner Tomas Morato, E. Rodriguez.

Stress and Responsibility

I feel like stress just keeps piling on and on. Usually, I'm not that affected by all that work and studying and etc. But it seems that this year is different. It's not only taking a toll on my mind but it's also wearing out my body. I've been sleeping late and I have been tired for the past few days. It's almost come to the point where I don't really care much about anything anymore.

Now see here, the problem is most likely in me. I've been lazy and been irresponsible for quite some time. I feel like I should pick myself up and become the second year hardworking, idea-spewing, random, energetic and reliable me.

I guess it's also because I haven't been keeping my priorities straight. I should focus more, of course I should still have fun.

Identities

I saw this on Bing Bong's Blog. Just because it's one of those survey things doesn't mean that it's not a blog entry. I mean, I am writing something about myself right?

Rules:
List the names that you are called by and name the people who call you by these names. Tag ten others to do the same thing, paste the link of your entry on their guestbooks.

So that I spend more space with this entry, I'll say why they call me that name (if I know why).

1. Nico (and its various derivations)
   Who:Only my family calls me this. The various other versions of it are attributed to different relatives
   Why: My parents watched some movie when my mom was pregnant with me. I believe the name of the main character was Nico and they thought it was a cute name I guess. Nowadays, to shorten the explanation, I say that it roughly sounds like a reverse of Joaquin (Niuqoaj). :))
   
   
2. Joaquin
   Who: Anyone who knew me before Grade 5. Barely anyone calls me Joaquin anymore. My mom does sometimes.
   Why: I guess just because it's my real name. There's something about calling someone by their real name. Ahahaha.
   
   
3. Joaq, Wak, Wack, Waaaakkkkk
   Who: Everyone
   Why: Before the 5th Grade, I was only known as Joaquin. In Grade 5 though, I met someone who decided to call me Joaq because Joaquin was too long. The name kinda stuck in our barkada and spread to my other classmates eventually. Right now, it's my most common identity.
   
   
4. Wax, Waks, Joaqs
   Who: Sir Martin and Joanna
   Why: I have absolutely no idea. Maybe it sounds fun to say for them.
   
   
5. Waki, Joaqi
   Who: Ma'am Capundag (Comp Sci), some other teachers, and one former classmate
   Why: Like the previous name, there's no apparent reason, maybe it sounds cute. I don't use it because ALL the other Joaquins in the world usually go by this nickname.
   
   
6. Carlos
   Who: At one point in 2nd Year, a few Rosal people.
   Why: Because it's always fun to call someone by their second name.
   
   
7. Peanuts
   Who: Rainier Gomez
   Why: He said I look like someone from "Peanuts" the comic. The one with Snoopy.
   
   
8. Kevin
   Who: Franco del Rosario
   Why: Franco is never good with names.
   
   
9. Kuya (Nico/Joaq)
   Who: Younger Siblings and Cousins. Various other people.
   Why: Self-explanatory.
   

Wow. I didn't think I was called this many names already. Brings me to the conclusion that people are known differently by different people. That's pretty deep if you think about it. I think the whole identity thing is also a big concept in Buddhism. Do you remember any other names you've called me? :)))

Sense of purpose

Some old Pisay batches had a reunion concert thing recently. It was an interesting sight, not that I haven't seen a bunch of old Pisay graduates do some musical numbers in a concert. Last year, I performed with Himig Agham in another similar concert. This time though I was something else for this concert. I'm making it sound so dramatic the way I'm going to say it, but anyway, this time, I was an usher for the event. Joe kinda persuaded me into joining and being an usher for the event, along with him, Sam, Gaby, Nico, Cam, and lots of other people.

The day before the event, we had "practice" by going to the venue, PETA Theatre Center, which is around 5 minutes away from my house. What was really fun was going there, since we fit around 9 people in a little Rav4 by lots of "kandong" and shared seats. After a few awkward silences and noisy comments, we got to the actual venue.

I guess practice also means taking a look around the place. The actual theatre where the concert was going to be held looked pretty cool and modern. There's this small stage in the middle of a bunch of chairs, but what was unique was the second floor of seats. It seemed really close, even though it was on a different floor. You have to see it for yourself.

What I found kinda strange was that ushers really can't practice since, well, there's nobody to practice on. I mean, what does an usher do? He/she leads people to seats and looks at their tickets. Obviously, on the day before the actual concert, no one aside from the people who were practicing were there. So yeah.

The next day was the real thing. At the first few parts of the concert, I was ushering people into their seats inside the theatre, but later on, Gaby and I switch roles and I became the ticket boy for majority of the night. It felt really lonely being the ticket boy. I was left behind, alone to take care of the tickets and check the people who were coming into the concert hall. At one point though, doing this repetitive action of taking tickets and ripping them gave me a sense of purpose for the night. It made me feel important. In some strange little way, it made me feel like I was important, even if I was alone and lonely, I had to do my job to help..oh who am I kidding. I was just bored and lonely that I got delusional after a while. But still, my job still felt kinda important and I'm glad that I was able to experience being, well, an usher/ticketboy person.

Eraserheads

Last night we watched what was probably the biggest event in Philippine Music History. The reunion concert of the Eraserheads. They broke up around almost a decade ago, their music being a huge symbol of the 90's in the Philippines. Enough with the formal-ish blog entry. I did so much before watching them, so I think that I should go through my entire day.

Lets start at the beginning of my day. We had auditions for the Miriam fair concert show thingie with Bearzero. We did pretty good, I think. At least hindi sabog ung sound ng instruments. I asked sina Cueto if they wanted to watch e-heads later that night, since my tito said he got more tickets. And so, I was able to invite people to watch. I was also able to invite Francis, even if he already bought another ticket.

Afterwards, I had classical guitar lessons. I finished the first page of Canon in D. Hooray!

Then we had Dikum practice in Dan's house. Dan's house again, meaning games, then work, then games, then more games. At least we had fun. HA and I beat Jaymari at Pokemon Cards twice. At least I know my deck still challenges people.

Sometime during the practice, I found out that Joe was also going to be able to go to the concert. So after practice, we went and picked up Joe from his house. In the car at the time was around half of magnesium plus Joe and the driver. After a trip of teasing and noise, we got to pisay to pick up Andrei, Cueto and Kevin. As usual, Kevin was late by an hour and so, and we left pisay at around 6:20. Note that the concert was supposed to start at around 7:30.

So after a few more stop overs (my house) we finally got to the open field in the fort. Fast forward to before the start of the concert. There was a big countdown timer ticking down seconds till the start of the show. While waiting, there were lots of free drinks and free food at stands in our area, SVIP :D. Whee.

The countdown finished, a collage of pictures of the band flashed on the screen until showing one word, ERASERHEADS. The cround cheered. Then we heard a sound: Bass notes being plucked by Buddy Zabala. Platforms rose out of the stage and out came the four original members. Instantly, the song was recognized as Alapaap. It felt amazing, first song and it was already great. I was finally experincing live, the band that changed filipino music. Towards the end of their first song, fireworks and pyrotechnics lit the sky, a symbol of how legendary this concert was going to be.

15 songs later, and the concert could've ended already, and alas, it did, due to Ely's heart condition and emotional stress due to the death of his mother. I can't believe that it was going to end. There was supposed to be 2 more sets of songs, but it seemed that Ely couldn't do it anymore.

It was worth it even if we only heard 15 songs. The fact that we were there made it magical.

I hope that next year, we'll be able to go to whatever they're planning to continue this concert.

Zombies and Sleep

Warning for Randomness and Unclear storytelling because this was some weird dream and I wrote this right after I woke up.

My dream started out with me at my house. It was Sunday night and I just heard that Joe was going to have a sleepover at his house and that my Xavier friends were going to have some internet café thing on Monday. First I had to choose between the two. In my dream it seemed that I had this crazy idea of going to both. I was going to go to Joe today, Sunday, and then go with my friends on Monday or something like that. At certain parts in my dream, my plan seemed to change a lot.

After a bunch of inconsistencies such as me going to buy some materials for dikum and for homework at national bookstore in Greenhills, I finally ended up at Joe’s house at around, afternoon the next day. I don’t remember who was there anymore because there were only a few of them, and I don’t remember what we did.

I went to sleep there, but when I woke up, I was at my home, Joe was there too for some strange reason, Sam was also in my dream, but she kept popping in and out of it. So I went out of my house to take a look at my surroundings, and based on what I saw, my house had moved locations to some sort of village, most likely Valle Verde, where Joe’s house is. My house barely changed at all in appearance, and it was just our surroundings that changed.

Moving on, I learned that zombies were going to attack my house. We were the 5th house that the zombies were going to attack, and that had some sort of significance to how dangerous it was going to be. It seemed that our house helpers weren’t scared or anything, they were even provoking zombies from afar, although I couldn’t see them. After a few more minutes the zombies came.

Man, they were really slow zombies. They were light blue in color with some pink and grey spots on them. Actually, they didn’t even look like zombies anymore at one point and looked like some sort of broken TV channel formed into a humanoid body. From what I learned, the zombies could also turn you into zombies.

My house was locked but somehow, they got in. I then ran upstairs, which is kind of stupid if you ask me. I was locked in my parents room. Joe popped in and out of my dream at this point. Sometimes he was there, sometimes he wasn’t.

The zombies finally came up and walked really slowly towards one of us. Sam was there, so the zombies reached her and she turned into a zombie. It was funny because she (or at least some sort of blue thing barely resembling her) started acting strangely.

I walked to the main zombie (or at least just the first zombie I saw) and tapped his cheek. A crystal the size of a McDonald’s chicken nugget popped out of his head (too much Diablo) and he turned back into a normal person. I then did that to the rest of the zombies, and they all turned back to normal. What I remember the most was that one of the zombies resembled Ryan Sy and another looked like some Mexican person. It was a happy ending with a bunch of red and yellow crystals on my parent’s dresser.
