Pump It!!!

As what they promised last time they were here, The Black Eyed Peas are back to rock and pump the Big Dome tomorrow, July 27 at 8p.m. The tour is part of their promotion for the "Monkey Business" album. This will definitely be one heck of a jam! The tickets are pricey though. Highest being 5000 (Reserve Seats) and the lowest is 500 (General Admission). I seen them perform the last time they were here. And the 5000 will be worth it. The perfomance is a production of Viva Concerts & Events and presented by Smart, PLDT, Dickies and Skechers, and sponsored by Mentos Ice Gum, Philippine Star, ABS-CBN and MYX. Official radio staion, Wave 89.1.

The last time the BEP were here, it was their "Elephunk" ablum tour last 2004. It was their first time to come to the Philippines as a group. But ofcourse it wasn't the first for the "Pinoy Pea", Apl.de.ap, Allan Pineda in real life. The concert was like a home-coming party for Apl. He even brought his mother on stage when the group sang "The Apl Song" with the Asin band. Okay not the whole band but two singers of the Asin band. Will.I.Am, Taboo and Fergie said word in tagalog like "Babalik ako", "Balut" and the ever-famous-for-foreigners-tagalog-word "Mahal ko kayo" or "Mabuhay". There were some mishaps like too many front acts, a small fued between an act and the promoter because apparently the act as in "tagalog", well atleast thats what I read in the magazines, and not to forget the unexpected power interruption. Good thing the Peas played it cool. All and all, it was still a kick-ass concert. And to top it all, we had the best seats in the house. Okay, not the best, but close. We could see them up close.

I'm positive that this tour will be pumping! Just listen to the album and you'll know what I mean. And later tonight, they'll be interviewed on Wave 89.1. The Black Eyed Peas are great. A very talented group. And not mention one of them is a Filipino.

I'm so excited. Really, I am. I 'm looking forward to see them perform again. Just thinking about it get my blood pumping. It's gonna be a jam! There is just one tiny problem, I can't go to the concert. Why? I have no f---ing ticket! I wasn't able to get one because, first, Payday isn't until the 31, don't have money. Second, the concert is on a weekday. And third, I don't have a ticket! I wasn't able to save some because I had bills to pay. Damn bills!

Oh well, can't win them all, right. *Sigh* There's always next time. Good luck Peas. Kick some ass! \m/ If I can't hear them live, I'll just listen to their cd...

*plays Monkey Business cd*

PUMP IT!!! LOUDER! PUMP IT!!!

Nerd???

I just found out that I'm a high-level nerd! Shoot...



Thanks to Ace, who is more nerdy than me by two points. :D

Saturdays are boring...

Well, it is for me. I don't know why but it's just boring. I always feel like I'm too weak to work. I just wanna go home and go back to my bed. How would you feel if there's not much people around you unlike weekdays when there are tons of them walking around screaming their heads off and tossing stuffs around. Maybe that's why I'm bored on saturdays. There's no one here to make any noise. No one is here to scream at me and to wake me up! No one's here to shove papers to my face and expect me return it to them by the end of the day.

Haaaaayyyyyy...........

Oh well, that's life for me.

Shoot. It's 2:30 already. Better get home and watch a dvd. Or sleep. :D

Big Ben is now in Chicago

If a picture paints a thousand word, the one above paints about $60M. That's how much Chicago is willing to pay for Ben's talent, and believe me, it definitely worth every single penny. Big Ben will surely have a big impact in Chicago. His defensive skills will come in handy for the bulls. This move will make Chicago a contender for the playoffs and hopefully the finals.

For more info about this big move. Visit Chicago Bulls Official Site.

Welcome to Chicago Big Ben. Now, go get the trophy! \m/

Of Blogging Blues

I said in my first post that blogging isn't rocket science. Well, it isn't. But I'm still having a hard time getting around it. Just look at my second post. It's sooooo long! :D I tried to shorten it but I couldn't get the hang of it. So those of you who MAY have read it, I'm so sorry. I'll tried to figure it out, and maybe, just maybe I'll get it. :D

Rainy days are here again...

"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. Little children want to play."

This is a common phrase you will hear everytime it rains. And I heard this a lot yesterday, for it was raining cats and dogs. The rain was pouring down like it was not going to let up. Winds were blowing so strong that it makes trees dance to an unheard beat. School suspended classes and some companies send their employees home early. But not us. Nope.

We were sent home at around 5 p.m. An hour early from our usual time out. Darn HR people. Grr.... Anyways, the rain kinda stopped a bit and I was able to get on a bus and get off at a MRT station. Lucky, the bus wasn't full. When I got to the station, I didn't have to wait for a train to come, one was already there, loading and unloading passengers. Not only was it waiting, it wasn't full and I got to seat down. So I said to myself, "Seems like everything is okay. Nothing will go wrong". I was so wrong, dead wrong.

As the train slowly approached the station where I'm getting off, rain started to go back to work, like an employee who just finished her coffee break. Luck for me, I brought my trusty umbrella. I was able to get to the corner were the jeepneys would pick up passengers. This is were I start to be wrong. There were no jeeps at the corner. I could hear the vendors say that most of the jeep won't make a trip because of the flood. Other just dead in the middle of the flooded road. It usually takes me under 2 minutes to get a jeep, but this time 20 minutes has gone by and not a single jeep in sight. After a couple more minutes of waiting, finally a jeep that was empty stopped. Everyone there rushed to it as if the jeep was a famous star. Good thing it stopped right in front of me. Vrooommmmm, and off the jeep went.

But not for long, the jeep started to slow down. We have just entered the flooded part of the streets. On the road, some of the cars died down. There were some pushed by concerned passers-by while others were just left there. Good thing it was a wide road and there was no traffic. One by one, my fellow commuters shouted "Para" or "Manong sa tabi nalang po." And they had no choice but to step it to the dirty, garbage-floating water. Some rolled up their pants while other took off their shoes. Other were already wearing slippers and shorts. As the journey went on, so did the unloading of passengers, until there was four of us left. And then something happened, something you don't want to think about. The jeepney stopped. In the middle of the flooded road it stopped. The driver tried to get it started again but the no avail. The four of us started to panic. None one of us wanted to go into the water. The rain was still pouring and it seemed that the water was rising. One of the passenger decided to take the risk and take on the flood. Three of us were left. The driver said that there maybe other jeeps on the way and we could just transfer. The lady said "Eh di ganun din lulusong din kami sa baha." The driver reply, "Gagawa ho tayo ng paraan kung me dadaan. Minutes had gone by and two jeep went by. They couldn't help because one was full and the other was on it's way home. We had no other choice but to wait again.

30 minutes in and an empty jeep came by. Apparently it was the driver's father, he called him "Tay". The driver's father said that he was informed by other drivers of what happened. I said to myself "Thank God the waiting is over." But now we had another problem on our hands, how to get to the other jeep. The two drivers had a short discussion in a dialect I couldn't understand. And a few minutes later, the older driver maneuver the jeep so that both ends will meet. And in no time, we were in the other jeep. The son driver stayed with the stranded jeep while the father took us back on the road. I thought the horror was over. Again I was wrong.

I assumed that the part near my house wasn't flooded because it wasn't as low as the over parts of the road. As I watch other people walking in the water, I could see that it's knee high. I was pretty confident that it won't happen to me. As we slowly approached my stop, I could see that the water wasn't getting low. I had to do the thing that I didn't want to, and thats to place my foot in the water. I had no choice because there was no dry land in sight. Oh well, better get wet than not to get home right. I took off my shoes but left my socks on. The water was so cold, not to mention dirty. I wanted to get out of the water fast but couldn't run, so I took big steps. In a matter of minutes, I reached the house. The first thing I did was I took off my socks, tip-toed to the bathroom and washed my feet three times then applied alcohol. Home at last.

Finally I was able to rest. You get hungry after an ordeal like that. And it was a good thing "Bituing walang ningning" was just about the start. XD

My first post... where to begin?

This is my every first post. This my very first blog, not that I have an intention of creating another one, okay. Where to begin? Hmmmm... Interesting question. Where will I begin? Oh well. I had no intention whatsoever to start one, but one night, while drinking, the idea of starting one struck me. Why? Because I was starting to get drunk. Funny, every time I start to get wasted, ideas begin to pop in my head. And by the time I get sober, the ideas are gone. All that's left is a freaking hang over.

Well, I kinda have an idea why this one get stuck and didn't got down the drain with the rest of them. I kinda wanted to express my feelings that Ive kept in for so long. Maybe in the upcoming post, I'll be able to let it out. Maybe.

Honestly, this is freaking hard, especially if you're not much into writing stuffs down. This is really a first for me. I don't have any talent in writing, but what the heck, this isn't rocket science, right!?

Oh shoot. The rain is really pouring. Got to go home. Aye Caramba.
