Sorry if it took forever to post this. Been too busy or kept forgetting to copy it from my group mate. And sorry if it's not on Youtube and it re-directs you to my groupmate's Tumblr instead. Apparently it's too big to be uploaded. This isn't our best work as a group. So yeah... we apologize. We could have done better given we had more time. Hope you enjoy it anyway :)

It's Only the 2nd Week

Movies I've Seen List: Going the Distance

(Late Post)

BLA.... One of those better in the trailer movies.
Don't really have much to say. And I'm too tired right now.
It's only the 2nd week of school and I'm swamped with homework :|
Hope everyone else is doing better :)

RANDOM FACT #1

I wanted to be a music video director when I was back in high school. And still kinda want to be.
Especially after doing my Paris music video. It brought so much memories and feelings back.



Dreamt of attending the University of Southern California or the University of California, Los Angeles.
And maybe if my dad just allowed me, I'd be there right now taking up film or something related.
During the days of MTV's show Making The Video, that's when it all started.

Skillz

Sorry for the slow down in posts. First week of school kind of just went by real fast. I've been busy but can't even remember what I've been busy with. Anyways, while I was looking for a better link of Rihanna's new song "Only Girl" on youtube,

I stumbled upon this video:

This kid got mad skillz yo! I've been repeating this song over and over again! And not only did he do the song very well, he blended some other songs I like (Commander/Dynamite/Etc.) in the mid/end part of it effortlessly! Props to him! :)

Here are other his other videos:

Night Guard

A few years ago, during a family trip or something, I found out from I don't remember who that I grind my teeth in my sleep. They say it's because of stress or bottled up emotions. I say.... I don't know. Cause I mean, even during vacation I'm stressed??? Anyways, I don't want my teeth to end up into a powdery paste of sand so during my 1 week break I finally went to the dentist to get myself a night guard. Yes, that's what it's called. They got a mold of my teeth and a panoramic x-ray of it and

TADA:

It's not that comfortable to wear but I have to deal with it if I still want my teeth intact when I'm old.
Sigh.

Pecha Kucha Night Manila Vol. 3

(late post)
PECHA KUCHA WAS SOOOO WORTH IT!
EVEN IF:

- The ticket was Php 220
I got more than my money's worth!
I had a free cup of Golden Spoon Yogurt + Drink + Popcorn
and to top it all

I got loads of magazines for FWEEEEEE! (5 Rogue's, 2 Adobo's, & 1 BluPrint)

Though I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to get that many. But hey, I just followed the people before me.

- I had to go through the worst MRT ride of my life!
(Imagine being squished by sweaty stinky people from both doors/sides. People were forcing themselves in even if the train was clearly full. They shoved their freaking way in >.< ) So why did I take the MRT instead of taking a cab? Well, I was trying to save money coz I was so broke from all the school projects already. And I seriously thought that I went early enough to avoid all the rush hour chaos. But I estimated wrong.

- I ended up going alone
I bumped into a few friends and ended up not being alone
