The Writing Songstress

I'm the Writing Songstress, I basically sing and write.


Little by little




      I never really thought school would be this.. stressful! As a first year masscom, I was like, " I haven't felt my being a mass com yet" ... second year was the same, but I was starting to have an idea what we'd be doing .. third year first sem, my subjects and majors started to become very hectic but was still manageable. At the end of third year's first sem, I felt pretty confident that, second sem would be just a breeze and that the first sem would be "harder", ... but I was wrong. Second sem is the hardest sem up to date!

Events, plays, performances, projects, all come together. You won't even know which one to do first! On our younger years, holidays were such blessings 'cuz we'd just stay at home and sloth away. But this sem, even holidays are considered school days since we'd still have to practice a something for that day. And even that day of practice ain't enough. Not to mention the projects that'd pile up. 

Maybe, as a third year mass com student, what I must learn and have gradually learned, is to manage your time "EFFICIENTLY". There shouldn't be a day that you haven't done anything. At the very least, do something, like a project or plan out a sched, cuz time is of the essence and not being to pass even just one of these MAJOR-MAJOR requirements is a death sentence. 

Excited for this sem to end, but more importantly, I'm much excited for the satisfaction me, and my batch mates would feel after we've gone through this tough sem. Let's keep working!!!

The Day Cebu Shook Still ... okay, Shook Hard.


Feb 6, 2012, the day started like a normal, rainy day. The sky was cloudy, the traffic was okay, the only thing I had in mind that day was that I forgot to bring an umbrella, but besides that, no one ever thought that something like an "earthquake" would transpire later on today. 

It was 11:40 something, and we were still on theater class, reporting, and all of the sudden, someone said, "Look the projector's moving", and we were like, "she dum.. " but no...



.. the projector was indeed moving, and we all sat still on our sits, bracing ourselves, some were teary, some were so scared( I for one) and some was just so shocked to have a reaction. Our teacher even had to stay on the corner and yelled that everyone stay calm, but in a situation we weren't really prepared for, we panicked. 

After that, we all, including students and faculty, went down the school grounds and formed there, waiting if there'd be any after shocks and glad that there were none. So we decided to do the interview this afternoon for the priest and lawyer but then, when we got there on the church. A classmate of mine received some text message that sea water was gonna reach Ermita, that classmate lived there so she panicked and we all decided to go home. To add to the pressure, people were saying that the water's reaching the area near the church, so we were like, OMG, we're gonna go home. It was, hell I don't even know the time, but I was near Jollibee mandaue and was trying to find a jeepney to ride but, none. My amegs tried to tell me that there's still a jeepney ride but it's too far to just walk, was still in highway and I was still on the parish church and it was no joke. But, instead of just staying there and wait for my papa to pick me up, I decided to walk it all out, and so I did, and as I reached about 75perc of the total distance, I saw an officer, and asked where should I ride, and he told me and stuff. 

I waited there for about 20 minutes and I was like, "Sh*t, there's no Talamban jeepney going here.." So I looked around, I looked at the jeepney writings and looked at the people and alas, I saw this blessed thing made from the heavens, the street signage. 


I saw Talamban and I was able to board a jeepney.



What's the lesson for today? Maybe, it's to not believe right away things from text messages, listen to the news, be updated, and always be safe.

RICE: Y is me love you?



No, not how bad my drawing is the topic here, it's ... R-I-C-E! That white, sometimes brown, grain that'd had to be submerged in boiling water for half an hour to get that sumptuous, soft, staple food. Yumm..

I know that the sight of rice might scare a lot of people, especially those who're in a totally, no-carbs diet, but I can't help it, I love rice. Not in the sense that I'd eat it alone, duh? I'm still sane enough to not do that, but, the feeling that there's plenty of it in my plate, it's just satisfying. I'm that type of person that, no matter how bland, or how little my viand is for that meal, as long as I have plenty of rice, I'm fine. Snacks is eaten best with rice and a viand, yeap, snacks! Although it makes you fat, if gone too much, still it's so irresistible. 
So to all rice savvy out there, asian or whatever you are, as long as you love eating rice, in a meal, snacks, then you are not alone.RICE FTW!

Good Things Always Have Expiration Dates..


It was just two days ago when I've chatted with the musician, and it was so heavenly since then. Beyond the age gap and the location gap, he was a great guy. He was kind, he was sweet, he's got a way with words, he's a total package. That's why I wondered why he's still single till now. 

But anyways, here's the real deal: tonight, we talked again on skype and it was pretty much the casual thing... but, it's true, I guess it's true, that in a seemingly perfect thing, there'd always be that imperfect side to it. And it showed tonight, as big as the lantern still hanging outside our window. 

Amidst his sweet and bubbly personality, is his being "pervy" I might say. And does and wants to do these naughty things on skype, maybe it's his hobby or he's just used to it, but actually, I'm not. He wants me to listen while he _____ well, you get the picture. Because he thinks that I talk cute and it turns him on. But I'm like, WTF? It's not that I forced you to be like that!  I got to talk to him that I'm not one that does those stuff, and that I respect him so much to just do those acts with him. Because I don't want him to lose respect with me, and in turn, I don't want to lose respect for him. That's just the way I work with people whom I see worthy of my time. I told him straight forward. So we talked on mic for a bit, but still, I heard this squishy sounds and the slight groans he's making while I was talking and ding! I turned me mic off. He wondered, but I'm not one that doesn't keep his word. I told him there and there that if this stuff continues, he's putting this budding friendship in the line. 

If this would continue, I would feel resent for it. Cuz like, It's not everyday that I'd know a musician. But I don't want to have a friend, in which respect is taken for granted. Yes we all have our dirty moments, but for someone I've just knew, and for someone I haven't even seen in person, I just can't be that person for him. I'm not that kind of a person; one who'd be all slutty and stuff on skype. I simply, don't function that way. Hope he understands. And if EVER, the friendship takes a turn for the worse, at least I'm ready to let go.


Given that I'm such a home-body, and I would rather stay at home  than be out( partly true ), I usually go for my laptop for my refuge. It's those dragging hours that I hate so much; I've updated my status on facebook and I'm sick of all my friend's faces up on my feeds( love ya'll), I've just watched tons of videos from youtube that'd equivalent a whole semester of class, and when I've just finished grabbing nice photos from tumblr, and I'm left with nothing to do.Out of genuine curiosity and boredom I go to chat sites. Yeap, those good old chat sites.

Not that I"m desperate or anything, or that I"m horny( which is typically NEVER the case) or that i'm just some psycho, NO! N-O! I'm not going to chat sites for those reasons, but I do go there to actually meet people. That's right. When you live in a certain place, I know, at some point of your life, you're gonna realize that you're sick of seeing all these people, having the same faces, with your same eyes, color of skin, hair, and height, and you want something different. I want something different. Something, not everyday, something unusual, something that'd spark my interest, ... a foreigner. LOL

Now I'm sounding like a young hag, looking for an old foreigner to eek money from, but no, I really do wanna know someone. I want to know someone outside of my country( at least) and talk about what's in his country, the way he lives, how is living there, the weather, and all those useless crap. I'm that kind of a guy. So much for the long intro..

Okay, so like I got on to this site, which I would not name as of the moment, and I chatted on group chat there. Well, in that site, you'd still have to advertise yourself in the chat box since there's no profile set up needed so yea you're good to go. And here I was, advertising me, and why they'd want to chat with me( PR, thank yoU!) and the likes. Gosh, only got one or two who replied and none of them seem worth the time. And then this guy advertised himself as, "SKYPEMICONLY" I guess , I'm not so sure, so I pmed him and we got on to skype. And then, he added me, and we talked on skype mic, apparently, I do have my cam but I wasn't feeling on using it at that time cuz I'm so busy and my mind is so out of order that I looked like crap at that time ( I guess) so we opted to use mic only. And then we talked. He's got this very nice voice to him, and wait, let me just say that I always have this thing for voices, foreign voices/accents that really attracts me to someone. Like, if I'd have a fetish, it'd be a western accent fetish. Lewl. Anyways, so there, we talked and we chatted, and I've got to learn that this guy is a musician, and he plays in studios professionally and that's how he pays his bills. He's 28, single, probably had married his instruments, and he plays very well. It was amazing. I totally got a hold of him, cuz he was like a musician, and how many odds do we have to be able to chat to a musician. Or let's change that, how many odds does a musician have to chat with me? .. You see the picture?

So, it was totally rocking, and I look forward to chatting with him again.He promised me to be able to play "Need You Now": by Lady Antebellum .. ^.^
