VERY VERY OVERDUE POST: Birthday x Star City

September 14, 1999. Also known as the day I was born. 

So last September 14, 2013, I celebrated my 14th birthday at Star City located at Pasay. Before we left, I we all met up at one place in Sta. Mesa, near our high school. We met at Stop 'N' Shop at Jollibee around 11:30-1:30 PM. I was weaing an Observe, Analyze, Asses, Psych shirt along with some black converse, and some black skinny jeans. I wasn't able to take some photos since my battery was drained and my photos were low quality since I lost my old phone. [again] I got a Black Berry 9330 though. But I'll still always love my old phone's camera :(

On the Pirate Adventure ride with JR

We arrived at Star City around 2:15, just in time for the opening of the theme park. I and Kassandra, along with JR, purchased tickets to Snow World as well. Before we even got to the rides, I already ended up buying an animal cap, a Tiger cap to be specific. After, I bought a pair of mickey mouse headbands. When we got in, the first ride I, Kassandra, and JR rode was Snow World, I bought a pair of ear muffs and gloves just to make sure we don't freeze, but since JR and Kassandra didn't bring much money, I just gave them my gloves and ear muffs instead.

Dinner at Chowking hihi

After that, I bought some food and rested for a while. We went up stairs and rode some other rides

There was this part where I thought I lost my wallet, then I see it inside my bag lol, I had to go back through some horror rides, and then fahk hahahhaha, so yeah!! PRETTY MUCH IT!

I FINALLY MET THEM

Bazooka Rocks Fest II Fan Party x Meet 'n' Greet

August 24, 2013. Best Day EVER. The day I met All Time Low. Today was the best day ever 2013 has to offer so far, because August 24, 2013 was the day I met All Time Low. 

Let me start of by saying I wanna thank Ms. Nikita Conwi, Bazooka Rocks Fest II, SM Mall of Asia, and other people who made this event possible. You people truly are the best.

Basically, I joined a contest. This contest was only for the top 100 people who got the most votes, the contest was for Bazook Rocks Fest II,  and I joined, as I said, but I lost, but still, here's my entry if you're interested in seeing it out of pure and utter curiousity.

When I lost, I literally cried for 2 hours because I had a chance and I blew it once again, it also sucked because I didn't have tickets to BRF, so that was basically my only last chance; though my other friends won. School was keeping me busy and tireless nights as well, so basically, I guess that was the reason. Sucks, doesn't it? I fell asleep listening to "Therapy" by All Time Low. This was always my song whenever I felt bad or sad. Or depressed. Or maybe all together at the same time. It really sucked to be honest.

The next day, I found out, the Meet and Greet session x Fan Party was all for FREE. I said, "why not give it a shot?", so I did give it a shot. This was my only chance left, and I wasn't even able to see them last year last year, September 21 and 22, 2011. I got really excited because this was the first time I'd see them alive, in the flesh. I asked who I could go with, and my friend Gianna helped me. We weren't together through out the whole fan party, but she helped me get to MOA though. (Thank you so much, Gianna)

I wasn't able to take much pictures because by the time I got there, my phone battery was down by around 60%, so I only got to take pictures during Tonight Alive and We Came As Romans, so I immediately shut down my phone so that I have more time for All Time Low's set if ever. The hosts for the Fan party were Ms. Nikita Conwi and Mr. Rico. Sorry, I didn't know his last name, but it was so funny because people were putting up signs with pick up lines or funny jokes for Rico just for Concert tickets or Meet and greets. There weren't much people, but yeah, you get the point.

Here are some photos and videos (Sorry for the Low Quality by the way, I only used my phone's camera):

Tonight Alive

Okay, moving on, the next people up on stage were Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I didn't know them, but they seemed cool, I had a really great spot as well, I was in front row. They had a signing as well, our host, Rico, said that they will give out a free signing that is open to the public if we had their latest album, and some people bought the latest album just to get it signed. It was a great opportunity and chance. Y'know. You get your album signed, you get to meet them, you get to hug them, yep, all for free. It was a great deal, I guess. I got to touch this dude's hand, he seemed cool.

The next people onstage were We Came As Romans. I heard of them before as well, but not really much of a fan, but they did a signing as well. Here are a few pics though:

HEADS UP TO THE COOL GIRL WHO WORE A RILAKKUMA ONESIE 

Since I was in front row, there were these group of girls who wanted to meet A Rocket To The Moon so badly, and when they got the hosts' attention, the girl cried and they agreed to lead the song to ARTTM. I didn't have any pictures once again, but once they came out, a lot of people cried and it was so hard breaking to the hard core fans. As I found out that they would do the same about the song leading thing to ATL, I immediately found another spot through the other corner so that I would immediately get it. After everybody sang "Baby Blue Eyes" to ARTTM and they left, Ms. Nikita started choosing the people who will lead, Rico wasn't there anymore because he had to host a show at Monster Radio 93.1. I was at the other side of the stage now, and I met SUCH amazing and lovely people. Their names were Pauline, Keng, and Lou. They were big A Rocket To The Moon and All Time Low fans, and Keng had an All Time Low meet and greet. Someone online gave her a pass, they also got a chance to give out a message to A Rocket To The Moon, too bad I didn't have a picture with them, though I also found out we went to the same school. Cool right?

After A Rocket To The Moon left, Ms. Nikita started choosing, and they already chose people. They were some people from All Time Low Philippines, 2 other girls who had balloon condoms, and some other people as well. I cried so hard when she didn't choose me and the bouncers started staring at me. The really nice bouncer that was infront of me was teasing me so I kept hitting him, and the guy at the sound system videotaped me. The girls with me kept saying they should pick me, and they weren't seeing me so I cried harder. And then Ms. Nikita came to me and said, "Stop crying!!! Stop crying. How will you be able to sing to All Time Low if you're crying?!", and then BAM. That was it. THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN MS. NIKITA CONWI. YOU ARE MY FAIRY GOD MOTHER AND TO OTHER HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AS WELL. 

Once we settled on stage, I met a few people. The girls from All Time Low PH, and Micha. They were really lovely.

Long Rant: Appreciation

"Sometimes, I just wanna feel appreciated." Just once. 

Admit it or not, we have all said this before. Atleast one time. Two times. Thrice. More. Everyday. It doesn't matter when, how, and how many, but the fact that you wanna feel appreciated is what matters. Sometimes it just sucks so much when people don't value you or notice your efforts. It sucks so much when you give your best and they don't even give you a single piece of attention and appreciation. 

We've all been there before. And you know what sucks the most? It's when the person you care so much about always clog their minds and focus on something else that they don't get to see the efforts you put onto something just for them. To make them happy. To make them feel better. It sucks that they don't notice. They don't notice the efforts. The support. The sacrifices. They don't. But you know what? If after all this time they still don't notice your importance, then just leave them if you'd had enough. 

Don't waste your time on people who you treat your number one, but always treat you like their second. You are much more important than that, and maybe you sometimes keep wasting your time looking for some appreciation, you, yourself forget to appreciate the ones who treat you like their number one. Somewhere out there is someone who treats you like their number one. Notice them. Appreciate them, cause when they're gone, that's when you notice how important they are. That's when you notice how you've been so busy wanting some appreciation that you forgot to appreciate the people who you should actually be appreciating. They might be in the same situation like you. But maybe you're the problem.

This wasn't much of a long rant, but I hope you appreciated even one ounce of it.

I'm done. You may now move on with your lives.

Contribution: RIP Cory Monteith

'Glee Star, Cory Monteith, found dead in Hotel in Canada on July 13, 2013'.

A simple contribution post. First of all, I just wanna tell you guys how much Cory Monteith meant to me. I mean, I'm pretty sure he didn't know me, but I knew him. I've been watching "Glee" since 4th grade, and now in my 8th grade, I still do watch Glee. I don't know, but why do the people we love the most have to leave us behind? Cory Monteith, also known as Finn Hudson from "Glee", has made such a huge impact in my life. They were my inspirations, the people who inspired to become a better person, and to aim for the better goals. Glee taught me that it's okay to be different and unique, and that everything will feel better. Glee taught me how to express myself. Glee taught me that people can change. Glee taught me about friendship. And now, one of those people who taught me how is now in God's hands. Do you know how much that hurts? He was my idol. He was my leader. He showed me the ups and downs in life. 

He was a great, nice, talented man. He was engaged to Lea Michele, another inspiration in my life. They were my first one true pairing. They taught me so many things, they taught me reality. That everything isn't always about how we expect them to be. Cory Monteith died due to drug overdose. It breaks my heart that when he went to rehab, Lea said she wanted to get pregnant after Cory got out, and now all of those can't happen anymore. I still remember that guy from the Choir room. That guy that Mr. Schuester discovered in the men's shower singing, "Can't fight this feeling". That guy part of the football team. That guy who had such a caring and loving mother. That guy who fell inlove with his co-star. That guy whose first and last song that he sang with the Glee club on Glee was "Don't Stop Believing". That guy who had a loving heart. That guy from Glee, named "Finn Hudson". That is the guy named, "Cory Monteith". He left smiles on people's faces. He is Cory Monteith, our Finn Hudson. Right now, here I am again, asking myself the question, Why must the good die young? Why must the good people die young? Shocking news? Indeed. But there's nothing we can do about it anymore. We must learn how to be strong, we must learn how to stand tall. 

While the people you love, and your idols are still alive, please don't forget to tell them that you love them. Today is history, tomorrow is a mystery. You never know what'll happen next. Don't waste your time, show them you appreciate and love them, because someday, it might just be too late. 


I'm done. You may now move on with your lives.

Long Rant: "Sorry"

"I'm sorry."

To some people, it may mean nothing. But to some, it means alot. In my point of view, I think saying "sorry", is useless. It's just a word, isn't it? I know, I too say sorry, but I wouldn't mind if the person didn't forgive me. They have the right to be mad at me. They have the right to be pissed. Because to be honest, what can a single word do? Can it mend what happened? No.

For example, I want you to get a pair of scissors, a pen, and a piece of paper. Done? Now write something on the front part of the page, it doesn't matter how long or how big, just write something on the front part. Done? Now cut that piece of paper into shreds. Done? Okay, now say sorry to that piece of paper. Finished? Okay, did something happen? Did that piece of paper stick itself back into a whole piece of paper again? It didn't, right? Just what I thought.

Some scars may fade, but the memory and mark of you will always remain. 

People like to say, "If God can forgive, why can't you?", is like saying, "If she can be a doctor, why can't you?". I'm not saying it's not possible, what I'm trying to say is, it takes time. What do you expect? "Oooooh, abracadabra, motherfuckers, I'm a surgeon! Beep beep, watch me as I scissor that person's intestines out!". It's nearly the same thing when it comes to forgiving people. It's not as easy as it looks, the pain is still there. The memories. The marks. We need to learn that things always can't be shown through words, but people also need to show them through acts as well.

Still have that piece of paper you cut earlier? Try taping it back. Did it mend, even just a bit? See my point? Saying you're sorry is better when you show it through your actions rather than your words. Now, after taping that piece of paper back, take your pen again, and write something on the back part of that piece of paper. Is it clear? Were you able to write properly? Basically.

Once your relationship with someone is ruined, the mutual feeling can never be the same again.

Just my point. Say sorry when you mean it, show it not only through words, but express them through actions.

I'm sorry if I wasted your time. I'm done. You may now move on with your lives. 

Long Rant: Genre

Genre:
gen·re 

Noun A category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, characterized by similarities in form, style, or subject matter.

Synonyms

style - type - kind - sort - manner - genus

Genre. When we talk about genre, most of the time, we think of music, a group of people, a type or category, etc. Examples of genres when it comes to music are pop, punk, pop punk, rock, alternative rock, jazz, blues, rhythm and blues (r'n'b), hip hop, classical, etc.

Like music, people are separated into different groups based on their personality and what they are as a person; but the problem here, is why do people like pushing away or why do they like dumping (Thanks Meg and Miki) people for trying to be in their group or liking the same thing they do? I mean, I'm not being a hypocrite or something, but I've always wondered. 

To be honest here, when I like something, I don't want most people knowing about it because most of them just rip it off and I end up disliking it, but still, WHY? Gets me all the time. 

I'm actually a fangirl, if I must say so myself, but I've been into one of those times when I join a certain fandom and people just won't accept me and think that they're better than me or every single one of us Just because They were there first. I mean, what's wrong with supporting something with all your heart with other people as a group? We're all just here to support, right? So, what if for example someone was born earlier than you, and they got to taste pizza before you did, does that mean you aren't allowed to eat or taste pizza anymore?

It's so funny because this post reminds me of "Mean Girls". 

There are the freshmen, ROTC guys, preps, JV jocks, Asian nerds, cool Asians, Varsity jocks, unfriendly black hotties, girls who eat their feelings, girls who don't eat anything, desperate wannabees, burnouts, sexually active band geeks, the art freaks, and the Plastics. Purpose of these groups: You get to choose where you wanna be and where you think you fit in. So what's the point of these groups if we're all just gonna push each other away? 

Just what I thought.

We need to learn how to accept each other, because how can we find unity when there is no unity between us? How can we be one when we're all just pushing each other away? What's the point? 

"All men are created equal, It is only men themselves who place themselves above equality." 

                                                  -- David Allan Coe

Always keep that in thought. 

I'm done. You may now move on with your lives. 

Long Rant: Beautiful

Am I beautiful? 

YES YOU ARE.

I ask myself the same question nearly everyday. Am I beautiful? Am I too fat? Is my hair to frizzy? It's my teeth isn't it? Maybe it's because my nose is hideous? Or maybe it's because my skin is ugly. I'm sure all of you have at least said something like that before. 

"True beauty lies within", but it is the outside that most people look at first. This is why we are conscious about ourselves and how we look, it's because we want people to like us.

But if ever you do ask yourself if you are pretty, YOU ARE. Sometimes, it's not always that outside that counts, it's what you see or have in the inside. I know this is a bit cliche-ish, but it's true. 

Remember, with an ugly personality and dull mind, you won't go anywhere. You'll just always be that person stuck in the day dream.

Some people don't like being called pretty or ugly because of 2 reasons. One, they don't like being called ugly because only they themselves can call themselves ugly, but there is no point if you call them ugly because it's not like they can't already see it in their and your point of view; two, they also don't like being called pretty because otherwise, most of them just think it is a false statement or a lie you pull up just to make fun of them.

The problem with some people is that they're to scared to believe that they are pretty because they don't want people to call them self-centered and "too full" about themselves. that is where people are wrong. There is nothing wrong about wanting to feel good about yourself. It is a fact, not an opinion, but the wrong thing with people, is that they think they are "too" pretty for everyone, and that is where we start feeling ugly or bad about ourselves.

If you tell a person that they are gorgeous, they won't believe it. No matter how many people do tell you them that they are, they still wont. Let one person tell them they're ugly, and that's it, they'll carry it 'til the end. 

Some people focus more on the negative side rather than the positive side, and that is what we need to change. We can't always depend on that. We are much better than that.

It doesn't matter which race, what color, and what kind or type of hair you have.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, DON'T LET ANYONE CHANGE THAT. 


EVERYTHING HAS IT'S OWN BEAUTY, BUT NOT EVERYONE SEES IT. -Confucius

Show people that you are not what they think they are. Who cares about what they think?! BE YOU, Because only you can make a label and name for yourself. Be what you wanna be, and feel beautiful, even once in a while. 

Long Rant: Friendship

First rule in friendship: Never trust too easily, most them just leave you behind, and if you have new friends, don't forget about the old ones. Always remember the saying, "Meet new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold."
Second rule in friendship: Be prepared. Some just come and go, change is inevitable.
Third rule: Be true and the best and great friend you can be.

To be frank, I'm one of those people who are afraid of losing friends. One minute they'll say they will never change, the next minute they have new friends, they're ranting about you, and then bam. In the blink of an eye, done. It's over, once it's ruined, it can never be the same again.
I'm one of those people who never actually leave people behind. It's just that they choose to make me their second choice or option, and once their first option is gone, that's when they notice my importance. That's when they say they need me. And if ever you experience the same, just tell them what you really feel. Don't let yourself be a second option, because you're much more important and better than that. Know who your real friends are, don't pretend like everything's fine when it's not.

Another thing I want you to know, be prepared, because high school is like the maze in Harry Potter during "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire". The maze changes people. Goes the same to high school. Again, change is inevitable. There's nothing we can do about it, but we have a choice. A choice to make ourselves feel happy and not suiting up to everyone else's expectations of what they want us to be, because then, you'd just be sad inside and outside.

"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day. And how awesome it will be, and imaging that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present." 

-John Green, Looking for Alaska

Do what you need to do when you still have the time, don't always depend on tomorrow, because if you always do, there's nothing to look forward for tomorrow.

Here in the end, let me just say, "Choose your friends wisely.". People say you can't choose your friends, but you can. Learn trust. Be prepared for change. Be the best you can. Also learn in friendship, that everyone is equal. You should learn how to be sensitive.

I'm done. You may now move on with your lives.

  

Long Rant: Judgements and Bullying

(Don't comment if you don't have anything nice to say.)

Just to be honest. Most people disgust me. They disgust me because of their attitude. The way some judge others easily through their appearance. They're so insensitive when it comes to such times. 

Truth is, people like judging most people based on how they look like and how they act without even knowing, WHY. Why they're like this, why they look like this, why they act like this, W H Y. To be completely honest, I have such a long list that I don't even know where to start and how I'm gonna start this list of mine and what I wanna say because I REALLY just wanna say SO much. The only topic I wanna start with for now is bullying.

People like to use other people's flaws against them, as IF they don't already see it. And they like bullying and teasing people because they think it's just nothing and see the fun out of it. What if that girl or boy you just teased about having so many scars actually self-harmed? What if the girl you just accused of being overweight had to starve herself every night because she's just so tired of all the judgments and she just wanted to get all of this over with. It all starts with this. Cyber bullying, Verbal bullying, physical bullying, whatever it is between both, it's STILL bullying. It starts with bullying, it then leads to depression, and then it may just lead to suicide. Another thing is, WHY do people have to judge other people if ever they committed suicide, or attempted, or if they ever had suicidal thoughts? People like those, disgust me.

WHY must you judge a person if ever they wanted to die? Why must you judge them if they wanted to leave a world where they are unhappy? Why must you rant about how stupid it is that they choose suicide as the only option left? What if that person was going through SO MUCH. Yet they still choose to smile and make other people happy because they don't want them to end up like the person they are now. You'd think it's stupid and immature, and you'd think of how dumb that person must be.

What if you were in their shoes? How can you judge someone without even going through everything they already have without even knowing it? I really wanna say so much, but it's like I have this feeling in me that I just wanna say SO much, that I don't know what to say anymore. I don't even know anymore.

If ever you did read this, I hope I didn't waste your time. And if ever you are one of these people who go through a lot everyday, I just want you to know that I don't know if everything really is gonna be alright. But you have choice, and you can choose to make it better. I also want you to know, that if you feel down or if ever you feel like no one loves you, remember that no matter how old or different you are, there will ALWAYS still be that one person who will never ever give up on you. 

I'm done. You may now move on with your life.
