Saving the world before bedtime



in honor of the powerpuff girls movie opening on july 3

Es ist vollbracht



whew. what a gruelling week. yaccs is only accepting a limited number of subscribers per time frame. luckily, i caught the 12 am cut-off time and voila! i am now able to read your comments, violent reactions, snide remarks and what not, so buh-ring it on!



sunday, tuesday and wednesday were all rehearsal days for choir class. friday was our big day - our "concert". james had this brilliant idea that we were going to sing haydn's seven last words of jesus christ. yes, he's just overflowing with brilliant ideas. right before the concert started, he handed out maracas that we were supposed to shake during "the earthquake" (the final song). unfortunately, it didn't quite have the effect that he hoped for. generally, it was a good one though, considering that we were all amateurs and had never actually sang in german before (at least i haven't). i'm kind of excited to get my cd as i was positioned directly in front of the microphone ( and didn't know it) and i accidentally emitted a huge croak that took even me by surprise.



i'm rereading pride and prejudice, for the umpteenth time. i remember, the first time i read it was one of those komiks versions. i pretty much didn't understand anything, except that girls seemed to dance an awful lot in those days.

just added comments via yaccs!

	Friend Bear You are everyone's ideal friend because you are sincere and genuinely kind. Sometimes you worry about your friends' problems so much, you forget about your own responsibilities, which can get you into trouble. For you, it's the little things that really count. You also happen to be the main driver of the Cloud Car. No speeding!
Take the Which Care Bear Are You? Quiz!

am posting a quiz link in the meantime. this blog needs a major overhaul, which i will be doing soon, i promise.

NYC Bloggers makes it easier for you to find other bloggers in your area by organizing blogs by subway stops. linked myself to their map, only i put in the wrong stop. so now, i've been trying to un-link/un-map myself unsuccessfully. help anyone?

removed the link to the trainspotting quiz as it no longer works. i think it was only up for two days after i linked to it. oh well. apologies to anyone who might have clicked that link and gotten nothing. i am sick boy, by the way. would have loved to be renton though, as i've always wanted to be the one who walks away.

mmmhmmm. just had a slice of creme-filled chocolate cake. i'm not too crazy about the creme but i just love the bitter-sweet aftertaste of the chocolate icing.

discovered mp3s of a band called twisted halo on audiogalaxy. actually, it was more like i discovered the band and prayed while crossing my fingers that a good soul would have their songs on his shared drive. three of the band members were orgmates of mine in college. and i am only too sorry that i never went to any of their gigs before when i could have. they have an album out, by the way. check it out and if you're in the area, go! go! go! to their gigs.

hmm, and since i'm on the topic, check out other great filipino bands:

ciudad

itchyworms

sandwich

imago

cynthia alexander

Boldstar, another under-rated pinoy band, composed of members of ciudad, itchyworms, and blast ople, is releasing an indie album this month. so watch out for that. i couldn't find any worthwhile links, but if you're in manila, ask around and you just might catch them in one of their gigs.



ps. and then there's also brownman revival, fatal posporos, eraserheads, razorback, etc
