Magic Sing
Mar 21, 2006 Buzz, Daily Blurbs
Today, I was awoken by the loud singing voice of my sister. I thought I was having a bad dream. :sneer: Apparently, my aunt left her Magic Sing, my mom, my dad and my sister were doing a mini concert in the living room. I still didn’t want to get up :yawn: so I tried my hardest to make my ears deaf from all the singing. I managed to get another 2 hours of needed sleep. When I finally woke up, I went to the living room and I was greeted by my dad who’s bragging that he got the highest score of 96 by singing “If” by Bread and everyone has been challenging to beat that score. Of course, I dove in and accepted the challenge. I’ve sang all the hard songs, like Whitney Houston songs, Mariah Carey’s and Regine Velasquez’, but the highest I got was a 94. When I sang “Pieces of Me” by Ashlee Simpson, I thought I was finally going to beat the score, but I only got 95 :grr: , so I am 1 point short. My dad sang “If” again, just to show off, and he got the same score. So I sang it, too, but I only got 94. I sang a few more songs by the Cranberries, MYMP, Vanessa Williams, then finally sang the last song, “My Immortal” by Evanescence. I closed my eyes when I finished the song, and when I opened it, it was a 97! :omg: I was super ecstatic that I jumped up and down. Now, I have the bragging rights! My dad could not accept that, so he tried to sing a few more songs, but unfortunately, he couldn’t beat my score :queen:
After all the singing, my parents and I decided to go to the mall and do the grocery. My dad paid a whopping PHP4696! Well, I kind of bought some personal things that I didn’t want to pay for myself!:devil: We decided to eat at Chowking, and I ordered Black Gulaman and Goto Congee. Yum!
So I finally bought my new swimsuits. Yes, I bought two!:razz: Well, I was torn between the two, and I didn’t want to regret not getting the other one. If only relationships were like that! *Wishful thinking* :crush:
Anyway, about my friend, I’ll call him Heinz, we are not really internet buddies. My cousin’s husband is in the US Armed Forces, so they lived for a while in Germany. They visited us a few years ago, and when they went back to Germany, they showed the pictures that they took to their friends there, and Heinz saw me. He thought I was very beautiful and he wanted to get in touch with me. My cousin didn’t want to just give my contact details to him, so she called my mom and asked for her permission. She said “yes” without asking me. Moms!:sneer: So, from that time, we have been exchanging emails, chats and calls. If not for his schedule, he could’ve flown here last summer. Fortunately for him, this year he was able to get a time off. He will be exiting the USAF this October. He plans to finish college, just like me. :nerd: Imagine me having lots of pimples and needing an acne treatment.

The Christmas Party
Dec 19, 2005 Daily Blurbs
I was still undecided if I wanted to show up in my former company’s Christmas party. My band is one of the performers for the night. Instead of just me, singing, Ray J, the other lead guitarist, performed the other song. We played the instrumental, with a little narration, of “The Transformers”, “I Want You To Want Me” (Letters to Cleo) and “Pardon Me” (Incubus). It’s a good thing that most of the people from our program were there to cheer us up, with the added friends of mine from my previous program. Six bands played last night, we were the 5th to play. Before we went onstage, one of the famous local bands we have in Manila, “Parokya ni Edgar”, were standing beside me! Although, I have seen them a few times before, it was the first time that I was able to look at them up close. Buwi, one of their guitarists, was standing beside me. I’d say he’s the cutest in the band… *drool…*
Anyway, last night, was the biggest crowd that I’ve performed on. When the first band, Palp Fiction, was up, my hands were starting to feel cold, butterflies in my stomach were fluttering like crazy, and my face was turning a darker shade of red! Beer was served last night, so I thought to myself that it might help. So I had one, and so did my band mates. After a bottle, I started to loosen up. It was really cool that we had our own dressing room with our band’s name on the door. We felt really important, and somewhat, felt like stars!
I think that we did good last night, even if there were some technical difficulties, because the effects of one our lead guitars, Rob’s, were nowhere to be heard, we were able to woo the crowd with our stage presence. We even heard people chanting our names. But I bet it was from our program. Hahaha! I’d never forget last night, because I have never felt that much energy onstage. I didn’t feel nervous, and the energy of the people out there was outrageous!
After the party, my band mates and a few friends had a party of our own. We had dinner first at “Yoo-hoo!” a barbeque resto at Metrowalk. Then we headed to “Nipa Hut” for a booze session. I just had 2 shots of tequila. We stayed there for a good 3 hours. We had fun talking about stuff and joking around. I’d say I miss being around those people and having good clean fun.
By 2:45 am, everyone was ready to go home. Ray J was kind enough to bring me home. My dad waited for me so he could open the door. I wasn’t ready to sleep yet, so I went online for about an hour before I headed for bed. I had weird dreams last night, but I don’t really remember what happened on it. I woke up by 2pm today!

Turn The Page
Dec 10, 2005 Uncategorized
Nothing in particular. I guess this would be my song to someone and something coz New Year is coming up. I have to move on and become a better person for myself and not for that someone and something. I am just thinking, right now, I am only Dre who is jobless, lonely, weird and hates D E L L… I hope I could be more than that. I am crossing my fingers.
Download the song and sing along with me!
Eden (Turn the Page)
Mayfield Four
Farewell, good-bye
God knows we tried
Our union so unsure
Could never endure
So we turn the page
And say good-bye
and walk away from everything
that we worked so hard to save
Brought down by our storm
Our eden is no more
But we were so lost in love
That we never found resolved
So we turn the page
And say good-bye
and walk away from everything
that we worked so hard to save
I don’t wanna start all over
and try and find another shoulder
to lean on
’cause yours made me feel safe
Now you’re moving on
this is my blessing
please stay strong
for what it’s worth I’m wishing you the best…
So we turn the page
and say good-bye
and walk away from everything
that we worked so hard to save
Oh and before I forget, I have made a mental note of the nightmare I had last night. It’s about a house burning down, and supposedly this is what fire in a dream means:
Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolizes destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. It also represents your drive and motivation. Dreaming of that you are being burned by fire indicates that your temper is getting out of control. Some issue or situation is burning you up inside. Dreaming that a house is on fire means passion and loving companions.Dreaming that you put out a fire means that you will overcome your obstacles in your life through much work and effort.
I don’t know if that’s real or not, well, come what may!
