For the past 48 hours I’ve been downloading some songs by indie bands - I think I’ve reached about 50 now . Weirdly enough for someone who sings, I’m not really into music. So in these rare bouts of musical indulgence, I take my choices in music very seriously. I make an effort to research on good songs by indie/alternative band, usually by checking out the soundtracks and incidental background songs of my favorite shows (like Veronica Mars and The O.C.) and stalking the Music pages of my Multiply friends for songs and bands they recommend. My latest loves are Pinback, Artic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, OK Go and The Perishers (okay, so maybe they’ve all been around for a while, but I only started listening to them lately. Haha).
Guess how bored I am? I’m actually tempted to study for Bio. Haha. It’s a personal rule of mine to ignore schoolwork til after Christmas. Haha. At least I have new songs to listen to to keep my brain from atrophying.

This week, I allowed myself to be sad. I allowed myself to cry even if I couldn’t afford to break down, what with all the schoolwork I had to finish. Sheesh. I don’t think I’ve ever cried that much in my recent life history. Every time I felt like I’ve cried my eyes raw, the tears come back. But I knew I couldn’t stay sad for very long, especially with the friends I have. There’s only so much negativity I can take; you have to get tired of being miserable sometime. I forced myself to be happy, and I’m glad it worked. I don’t want to waste my time being sad when I could be enjoying moments with the people that still matter.
I think it was a good choice to feel too much all at once. All I needed was a week to be sad. Now I’m okay. I’ll use this break to recharge and get back on track.

hindi mo lang alam
naiisip kita
baka sakali nga maisip mo ako
“Oo” by Up Dharma Down is one of my favorite songs. It’s like the generic love song of every love story. It never gets old. It just fits every damn time. Haha.
kahit tayo’y mgkaibigan lang
bumabalik lahat sa tuwing nakukulitan
I watched Up Dharma Down perform last night with some friends. I scared myself by singing along through the entire song - who knew I knew all the words? - with feelings. Of course, they caught it all on video.
baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
ako’y nandito lang hindi mo lang alam
matalino ka naman.
Haha. It never gets old.

I really am an introvert. I can’t stand prolonged social activities. I know I said back during sem break that I constantly wanted to be in the company of my friends. But right now, at least for the Christmas season, I just want to be left alone. I’ll probably take a rain check on big parties and stuff.
I never was fond of Christmas, anyway. I can’t wait for the New Year celebration, though. Fireworks! I love fireworks.
Argh, I can’t seem to write a decent blog entry anymore. I keep on censoring myself. But I guess that’s a good thing, for the sake of the people involved. But still, I don’t like this feeling of not being able to say what I want.

Things I learned this week:
- I am allergic to beer. I had 1.5 cans of San Mig Light a few nights ago and not only did I get drunk (yes, I am weak), my entire upper torso was red. Ugh.
- I talk a lot when I’m sloshed. A lot. If you want to know all my secrets, ask me when I’m drunk. I’m willing to tell just about anyone.
- I also learned that some boys like girls - all girls in general. It doesn’t matter who it is, as long as it’s a girl.
- A lot of people are sinners. Haha.
Ugh. I really need to finish my papers now. I foresee a tiring week ahead.
