post 14


Yep, I'm listening to a lot of hard stuff right now. It's good to hear again the music I've practically drowned myself into about two to three years ago. I was pretty much into angst-filled music back then...like a fiercly bombastic molotov which composed of the usual metal and experimental rock...ahh...addicting. Yeah, it used to be. I've been listening to Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and Nirvana (to name a few...) since fifth grade. I remember a classmate of mine who was obssessed with growing up. He basically decided to stop playing touchball with everyone else and he wanted ME to listen to all of his cassette tapes, from Oasis to Garbage, tool, ratm, nirvana; so that I could relate to him and join his geek group... I agreed and started to like the fact I was weeeeiiirddd... Yeah, what is a boyband? Boys with headbands? I never quite knew. Sometimes, I think I missed out on all that pop crap all of us used to indulge in when we were small and musically "frail"... but I guess it has become my asset and an advantage in my personality as well.

Right now, I've decided to take the rock scene in moderation since I've opened myself to a lot...I repeat...a lot of genres of music lately, from acoustic pop to Portugese bossa nova to emo to authentic jazz, etc. I guess music means a lot to me. It has been growing on me that I NEED to indulge myself in tolerable music everyday to keep me well. Is it...ok?

God, the school week was nerve-racking. I need to rest before next week's TEST FEST...haha. Damn, I need to accomplish a lot this weekend. There's the paper in English, the lesson plan for the kids in TD (outreach program in the ateneo), studying til eyes get all sore, etc. I'm flunking Physics, which is supposed to be an easy subject...no wait...a way easy subject..BUT..I didn't focus enough so...I sort of f**ed up my midterms...The solution is clear: adapt. I haven't adapted well with the fourth year level of doing things. So, that's next on my things-to-fix list. ^sighs^

Last Friday's CAT was exhausting. We basically soaked ourselves in the rain. Damn. And no, the cheer rally didn't cheer me up. I hate it. Yeah, uhhh...go...blue eagles...^scratches head^.
