Friday night gig and a backlog of other events (0 )

12:05 AM

Feeling: sad sad

I’m very thankful though for Bene, Joel (+ gf), and Delio came to watch our gig last Friday. Oh, and Peli too for being our photographer even. Fufufufu~

The gig last Friday night was good. We had some problems though before the gig. We planned on going early to hang out first at Santana Grove, but my brother was being slow. We had dinner by 7:30PM when we should have left by then since that’s the time Peli and Carol would be going to SM Bicutan. After dinner, we waited for my brother to prep up. We didn’t get to leave until 8:45PM. ~_~ Good thing there wasn’t a heavy traffic, so we arrived just minutes later to Bicutan. Unfortunately, SM was already closed. We had a hard time looking for Peli and Carol. Her cellphone couldn’t be contacted. We walked and walked in hopes of finding the two. I don’t know how many minutes passed by until Mac was able to contact her. ^_^V So we finally met up with them and headed to One Luv. We arrived just on time for the first performance. Mac and Reyton’s friends arrived soon after. While we waited for our turn (I believe we were supposed to be the fourth), we chatted and camwhored. Fufu~ Then the organizer Jigz told me we’ll be performing after the second band. I suddenly felt nervous. Hohoho~ I haven’t felt that for the long time. Maybe because I intended on playing SERIOUSLY! *ROFL* I went to the washroom first. As soon as I came back, the band was talking about what songs to perform. Reyton then told me that the second band might do some of our covers. I was crossing my fingers they wouldn’t for Carol’s sake, but they still did. D: We hurriedly tried to think of what songs to perform before we tuned our guitars. Jigz talked to me again and said we should play 7 SONGS! WTH! But we only prepared 6. Even though we know a bunch of other songs, we haven’t practiced those in a long time. D: I told him we’ll try to make a miracle. *rofl* He said as long as it’s a minimum of 5 songs it’s fine. ^_^ Bandmates took this opportunity and did 7 songs. Yeah, I was there but I made a complete fool of myself in the last song. It wasn’t that bad though. I’m still crossing my fingers that the audience were drunk as shit to even notice my mistakes. *rofl*

Dandruff much? *lol*
This isn’t us, but the band before us. I forgot their name.

After our performance, my left arm and legs were shaking. -_- We hang out for a bit near the entrance of the bar then we left to have some midnight snack. We headed to Santana Grove. I thought all the restos there were closed, but Starbucks and Yellow Cab weren’t. Maru kinda forced Carol for a birthday treat at Yellow Cab. It didn’t take much for her to treat us. *ROFLMAO* It was her birthday too!

K. Wasabi at Yellow Cab

THANK YOU, CAROL! w00t! Congratulations to her too for her first performance with K. Wasabi!

And (belated) Happy Birthday to you again! :DDD I went home super sleepy, but I waited until bf got home safe from Alabang (because he had to accompany some of his friends there).

Last Sunday, there was a Dog Dash PAWS event. I wasn’t able to go because I woke up late. Lomomanila members had a photo op there. I’m not sure how it went except that, based from cent, it was fun because there were 12 of them. *lol* I haven’t been into any photo op lately because I’m either busy or already have plans. Wait, those are just the same, right? ^_^V I also need to have the my used films processed and scanned. I don’t want to pile these up.

This Saturday they’ll be having a Pasig Ferry photo op. I wouldn’t be able to go because of Lights Out Con… Which I’ll be able to go to! To those who are into yaoi, please go to the LIGHTS OUT CONVENTION this Saturday, Sept. 6 at Ikeda Hall/Balay Kalinaw, UP Diliman. The convention will start at 1PM and end at 6PM. Tickets are available during the con at PhP150 inclusive of single-use event badge and library pass. More details can be found here.

There’s another event — the OKTOBERFEST that starts later. Some details on this poster:

There will be 40 bands. The event will start with Third Eye Blind’s performance. I’m not entirely sure of the details of the 120 day-event. I kinda wanna go, but with what’s happened lately I might not fully enjoy it.

Recently watched movie/s:

Juno 4.5/5
2008-07-06 21:00

Juno is only in high school and she found herself pregnant because of her best friend and of a chair. Well, that's the simplest way I can summarize the movie. I suggest you watch this movie. I watched this with my boyfriend and my brother. I think it's best to see it with your special someone too. :) Especially if you're still young. Youngsters should be aware of pregnancy.

Juno was very determined to have the baby adopted (after giving up on abortion). She finds a couple through an ad, meets them, and settles a deal on closed adoption. Although it wasn't expressed by Juno in the movie, I know it became hard for her, in the end, to give the baby up. Why did she cry, right? She saw the baby. She is sure to have an attachment to him, after all, it's hers. But there's nothing she could do... Even her boyfriend... Because they know it's not theirs anymore. It was really saddening to see them on the hospital bed, Juno crying and Bleeker just hugging her.

The ending was pretty simple. Juno, whether in her best or best, Bleeker was still there for her... That pretty much explains what her Dad told her about what makes couples stick together forever.

I would have given this movie a rating of 5. But I am not much of a Jennifer Garner fan. There's something about her that I don't like. :P

Oi eBay (1 )

7:29 PM

I’m supposed to blog about the gig last night and the short celebration of Carol’s birthday. But I’ll do that later and will talk about something eBay-related since they finally responded to my complaint. >_> Days ago, I got a reminder about leaving a feedback to a buyer. This buyer didn’t complete the transaction — he didn’t bother to contact me again after I have given him payment instructions and when I asked his shipment details. I filed a dispute over an unpaid item. I was surprised when I got an email reminding me of the feedback. I thought I would be able to leave a NEGATIVE FEEDBACK since the item was unpaid. I shouldn’t have bothered to expect such. The only options I got were POSITIVE and LEAVE FEEDBACK LATER. >_> The person isn’t deserving of a positive feedback. Leaving a negative feedback for such transaction must be done, so that sellers will be aware of the buyer’s poor performance. Due to eBay’s feedback change, the sellers are helpless on this matter.

The customer support’s reply to me is:

I understand what your trying to point out. However, your under no obligation to leave a feedback for the buyer if you think the buyer doesn’t deserve to have a positive feedback. I also understand that the new feedback policy is a bit bias against the seller.

The change in the Feedback system is designed to improve the eBay marketplace which should benefit both buyers and sellers. Improving the Feedback system should increase buyers’ confidence making them trust sellers more.

I am happy to have been of some assistance to you in this matter. Thank you for being part of the eBay community, and have a great eBay day!

I don’t see what benefit/s the sellers can get from not being able to leave negative feedback/s to buyers who deserve it! And, a BIT bias? It’s not just a bit, man. I haven’t received a decent support from these people. Oh yeah, to the person who sent the reply above, know the difference between YOUR and YOU’RE please. Geebuz~

Sleep, rain?, and albums I’ve listened to lately (0 )

3:05 PM

*sighs* It’s hard to think of what to blog ever since I started PLURKing. D: Alright, I’ll try to squeeze out of the deepest parts of my brain all that has happened to me lately. *lol*

My sleeping time has gone weird. I have a huge feeling it’s the antibiotics I took last week. I had a visit to the doctor last week to have my CBT checked. First, she asked me if I was on a diet because I lack at some nutrients (? Sorry, I don’t know the right terms for this). I told her no and that I eat regularly. Sometimes more than I should. *lol* I told her it could be that I sometimes sleep very late. Then she discovered something (that I can’t disclose here). She prescribed antibiotics and they (including my Mom) had to let me take the cervical cancer immunization to be sure. D: Back to my sleeping habits… When I started taking the antibiotics, I always fell asleep after dinner or around 9PM. Then I would wake up by 12MN. I would fall asleep again few minutes later and wake up by 4AM. I try to go back to sleep, so I could wake up at the right time — at least 7AM or 8AM. 4AM’s too bloody early! But I couldn’t, so the cycle went on. Last night, I tried to keep myself up. Also because the bandmates were here. When they left, I was so sleepy! But I had to wait for bf to arrive home and buy me Sun prepaid load. XD; I also had to finish a write-up (that I’m afraid to check now because I feel there will be a LOT of grammar fail!). All those were done, so I was able to sleep when I wanted to with less worries even. I had a very decent sleep.

It’s such joy to be able to get some load off before the day ends.

I thought this week will be rainy. When I went to Mac’s early this week, it rained so hard that I was literally dripping wet when I got to his place. D: The umbrella was useless! I was afraid the strong rain would go on until late, but I’m glad it didn’t. I was able to go home with still wet clothes. Shivering even while I walked. *lol* Now the storms have gone away. It’s all sunny and bright outside. UGH~ I prefer the rainy over the heat! Welll, I guess this is fine since we have a gig tonight. Hard to go out with the instruments when it’s raining. I can’t let my guitar get wet. *humps her PRS* XDDD Speaking of the gig, I shall pimp it out at some sites later other than my blog. Fufufu~
