EP#7-4: Rihanna-Chris Brown Experience Part 4

Part 4 - Post-Concert Happenings

After the concert
Around 11:30PM
I, T-Tel and Chito
Headed back to Bonifacio High Street
To sit because our legs are so tired

Then there we were not able to contact
T-Tin or Kuya Marvin immediately
Then after a while they said
That they are in the parking lot
Beside the vendo machine

As we walk to the place
I noticed the cars aren't moving
I already expected this to happen

So we went to the car
And tried to leave
But literally the traffic isn't moving
So we just went outside again

T-Tin is starting to get frustrated
(Maybe due to fatigue)
Well she wants to stay somewhere
That we could sit and airconditioned
But we were not able to find any place
Beacause almost all of the places
That we have in mind are all full

Then at around 1:00AM
T-Tin told us (Me and T-Tel)
To accompany Chito to Market-Market
And check if there's a jeepney
That could send Chito home

When we arrived there
There were no PUJs available
But we saw a Mini Stop
So we told T-Tin
That we will going to wait
There for them

At 1:40AM my cellphone rang
And it was T-Tin
She was like yelling at me
But she's just saying
That they are already there
In front of Market Market

I as well is tired
I mean all of us are
But why act like that
Its ruining the great night

I arrived back at the Burg
At almost 2:30AM
Then just brushed my teeth
Then went to sleep already

EP#7-3: Rihanna-Chris Brown Experience Part 3

Part 3- Rihanna

Sorry for the delay
Been busy for quite some time
But unfortunately the concert
Was a few weeks ago
So this post
Would not be as detailed
Like from the previous posts

After Chris Brown's part of the concert
There was almost an hour of intermission
Which included a 15 minute firework display
Then the rest of the time
Nothing is happening
Peple are just standing
Some are sitting
Waiting for the stage setup to finish
And for Rihanna to show up and perform

Rihanna started things off
With her song Disturbia
She came from below the stage
And wearing a black dress
(similar to what she's wearing at the music video)
And just her undies plus boots I think

At some point she sang Unfaithful
She was very emotional while singing that song
You can see her eyes becoming teary

Then she also sang Hate that I Love You
Where I expected Ne-Yo to show up with his vtr
But it didn't happen
But instead all the time
She was singing with her
Front backup vocalist

*//Slightly dissapointed but it's fine//*

She also performed
Please Don't Stop the Music
And Take a Bow

*//Both great songs and well performed//*

The finale is a duet
Between the two of them (Rihanna and Chris Brown)
The crowd went loud here
Especially on the concluding parts
Where CB and Rihanna are getting sweeter

That's about it..

-End of Part 3-

EP#7-2: Rihanna-Chris Brown Experience Part 2

Part 2 – Chris Brown

When we arrived
The countdown
For Chris Brown's entrance
Just started

When it went to 0
The crowd screamed so loud
Then Chris Brown came from the top

Then he started off
With his song Wall to Wall
It's only in the beginning
That the crowd went loud
And during the times
That he's doing his dance moves

*//I ain't a huge Chris Brown fan
So I can't state the titles of the other
songs that he sang//*

He followed it up
With a couple of songs
Which I both
Don't know the titles

*//He called several volunteers to join him
on the stage in one of the songs//*

Then a little intermission came
The DJ played a few non-Chris Brown songs
Move Shake Drop *//The crowd really danced here//*
In The Ayer *//The crowd put their hands up as the DJ said it//*
Closer*//I and the crowd sang together like it's Ne-Yo's concert//*

Then Chris Brown came back
He sang few songs that I don't know

Then there was Run It
The crowd did not respond
Through out the song
But at some point they did

Then he sang No Air
The crowd went loud again
And really sang with him

Next is Kiss Kiss
The crowd is dancing here
And came T-Pain's part
He has a VTR that he's singing his part
That made it cooler
The crowd's didn't went that loud as expected
Then here comes
The instant classic With You
The crowd is singing
Throught this song
It really brought the house down

Then he ended he's performance
With his most recent single, Forever
Just like in With You
The 70,000 attendants
Responded very well

Then after taking a bow
He took his shirt off
Boom!! The girls screamed so loud
Then Chris Brown left the stage

*//I was not that impressed on his voice
I find the recorded version better, but
his dancing is really good. So its not that bad
after all. But I he's really not that good in getting
the attention of the crowd, he still needs to exert
effort just to get the crowd going. But he's still
well appreciated by the crowd//*

EP#7-1: Rihanna-Chris Brown Experience Part 1

Part 1- From Nine to Three

Today is the day
November 16, 2008
The best 2 in 1 Concert of the year
Is held at the Bonifacio Global Open Field
Featuring the awesome couple
Chris Brown and Rihanna

Around 2:00 PM we already went
To Bonifacio High Street
To get a near parking to the venue

The concert will start at 8:00PM
So we still have to wait
For quite some time

But we went to Market Market
And spent the whole afternoon
Walking around the mall
Then had an ice cream
And lastly had dinner
At Kenny Rogers

Around 7:00PM
We left Market Market
And went to Serendra to meet
Kuya Marvin's friend
Then to Bonifacio High Street
To meet his other friends

Then about half hour early
We went to the venue

There are two entances
For those with the Bronze tickets
Which is our ticket

We immediately went
To the first entrance
The one which is nearer

And there's nine of us
Who's going to watch
So we grouped ourselves into three

I was with T-Tel
And Dondie a.k.a Chito (my cousin)


T-Tel showed her bag
To the security gurad
For inspection

Then the guard asked her
To get rid of her perfume
Yeah, that's right
No perfumes allowed inside
But I'm still wondering WHY?

So we asked for the car keys from T-Tin
And went back to leave her perfume
In the car instead of surrendering it

It took us 10 minutes I think
To get back to the car

*//Only me T-Tel and Chito
Went back to the car//*

And on our way back to the venue
It caught our attention
That the emcee is already talking
So we started to hurry
And here we are again
At the nearer Bronze entrance
But we were asked by the guards
To proceed to the other entrance
Which is more distant from the stage

Its from the nine of us
To the three of us

*//Doesn't matter that much though//*

Then looking for our spot
I looked for a good place

*//Good where there's a lot
Of pretty girls, I will going
to write a different post
regarding the crowd :D//*

----End of Part 1----

EP#6: Take a Look

I've been living at the Burg
For 5 months I think
Our unit's number is 1211

During my first month
The unit beside us 1210
Is vacant until my second month
Someone occupied it
As I've heard from my roommates
Our neighbors are siblings
But at first we thought
It was 2 girls but its one guy and a girl

But somethings kinda weird
Because they do not open their windows
Even though it is hot sometimes
So I haven't have a chance to see them

Moving on to what happened earlier

Around 6 o'clock in the evening
I heard a very loud police siren
And it played for about 10 minutes

I was watching TV
And I am shirtless
Because all of us there are boys
So its fine to be shirtless at times

I got curious of what's happening
So I stood up and looked through the window
Then I didn't saw anything unusual
Until there's this one guy
In the unit 1210 our neighbors' unit
I knew that he's only a friend of our neighbors
Because I already saw my neighbors
I still don't know them though


*//our unit's windows and
our neighbors' are facing each other//*

Then this guy looked at me
Through their window
And still I'm shirtless
I just ignored him
Then I went to the fridge
*//The fridge is cannot be seen through
the window of my nieghbors'//*

But I was shocked
When he kept peeking
Through the window
And I think trying to glance at me

I was like Oh my, he might be gay
Then I wore a shirt and took my cap
Because Peping and I are about to leave

Then I went back watching TV
Then I caught him still looking
Then he called someone over
And its a girl
Which he also asked to look at me

Pretending that I'm not seeing them
And busy packing my laptop
While watching TV

I just let them look :D
Then I told Peping
There's this guy that keeps looking at me
We just laughed at it

Then when me and Ping left
The 1210's door also opened
And its our neighbor also going down

*//Just can't help to share this story
right away, I find really funny though :D//*

RP#1: Facebook- Scrabble

I was invited by Rica
To play scrabble in Facebook
But we we're not able
To go against each other

But I did checked it out
And it is pretty cool
Because you can just join someone and play

So I just joined any game

In my first game
I won 278 is my score
Feeling good and confident
I joined a different match

But unfortunately
It became the start
Of my losing streak

I think I lost 5 straight
Then won a game
Then lost again a couple times

If you are just joining a game
You won't be able to be the first to go
And in Scrabble
If you are to go first
You can definitely get a head start
From the opposition

Because number 1 : You can name any word you want
And the better part of it: You'll get the double word score bonus

So I came up with this

I stopped joining a game
But instead I created my own game
But also you can exit the game
Without any penalty
If you're not on your second turn

So that would mean
If you don't like the letters
You can cancel the game
And then create a new one

Then after I did that I only lost twice
In Seven or more games
And I was able to beat
My previous high score
And went from 278 to 366 :D

Its all about knowing the rules
And breaking it a little :D

*//
I got somehow addicted to this Scrabble game
That I wasn't able to post the blogs
That I wanted to yesterday
And until now I still haven't posted it yet

So stay tuned for those posts//*

RTP#2: Programming is like Writing

I am a Computer Engineering student
And I've already learned one programming language which is the C++
And now currently taking up higher C++, also known as the C#

Programming is not about memorizing
Its all about developing your logic

My professors usually say
Once its fully developed
You can solve any problems
That would be given to you

No matter what prgramming language you're going to use
Its Logic who stands out above the rest

Now Writing

There are lots of things to write about
Experiences, Movies, Songs, Current Events and many more

Just like in programming

When you keep on writing
You're developing something

That's why I consider writing a skill

Like me

I started writing poems
Way back when I'm in 3rd year HS
I was able to write in both English and Tagalog languages

But I really prefer using English

But I'm a Filipino why choose English
Well first of all
Its easier in the sense that you've got a lot of words to choose from
Unlike in Tagalog the other terms are so deep
That you'll be needing a shovel to dig it out :D

I was able to write several poems
About love, friends and my classmates

I stopped writing
Until I became a band member
I was their keyboardist
I wrote a bunch of lyrics
But of course as expected
Our band will break up
After graduation

Well I stopped writing again
After a year
I was inspired by a girl
Who became my girlfriend
But it only lasted
About a month and a half

To write again
Well I usually tell girls
That I write poems and things like that
And most of them really find it impressive

So everytime I'm into a girl
I become inspired to write
I dedicate it to her of course

Wrote for a couple of months
Then we were given a project
In our Filipino class last term
To make a poem out of the given story

Being the shy person that I am
I did not present myself at first
But when my groupmate stood up
And she said to us that she'll
Be requesting for my professor
To change our project
From a poem to singing a song

I immediately volunteered myself
That I will do the writing for the group

Pressure is on me

Now this is a first
Because I always write about
My experinces and my feelings

I have not wrote about
Others, and especially from stories

I was able to make it
Its a long story
So I've made a 22 stanza poem
Which consist of 4 lines each

I revised it
I connected 2 stanzas
Followed by a stanza
And then 2 stanzas agian
That's how patterend it
So it would look shorter

A meeting before the presentation
I was able to give it my classmate
So I did not attended when the presentation day arrived

I was thinking I've done my part

Then when the grades where given
Our group got a perfect score
Because of me the man behind that poem :D

I was surpirsed
Because its my first time
To write a narrative poem
And also its in Tagalog
And a perfect score is what we got
And for once the quiet guy
Was recognized by the many


Going back to how programming is similar to writing

From my experience on writing
I think even though I eventually stop
At some point
I don't lose my touch
Its like the logic that you develop in programming

Once you've earned it
It will always be there

EP#5: Wrong Timing

Well the day has arrived
The day that my sister
Will introduce me to "this girl"
(sorry guys can't spill out her name):D

Well this girl is my co-member
Of my community (BLD Youth)

So there is where
I'll formally be introduced
To this girl

Me and my sis
Arrived very early
I thought this girl
Would not come
But she came

She noticed me
I stood up
Because she was also tall
Almost as tall as me

Well she went in
But immediately went to the CR
With her friend

Then after a couple of minutes
She and her friend came out
While she's talking to someone
My sis all of sudden
Introduced me to her friend
And technically to this girl

But this girl is talking to someone
So she's not paying attention
What my sister said
And I guess
She still does not know me by now

(wrong timing sis)

Before going home
Me and my sis were going to MOA
Because we're going to grocery

And to my surprise
My sis said
That this girl and her friend
Will be accompanying us
On the way to MOA

This girl and her friend
Had a little meeting
For an upcoming event

Well we've waited for them
So that I'll get
A chance to bond
With this girl

The meeting was over
Here they come

But in the end
Only 3 of us
Went to MOA together

Me, my sis and..

Her friend

She was not able to join us
Because she's still
Going to watch a concert

No regrets

But it's already there
But all of a sudden
Taken away

Still bad luck
Is still chasing me

I must say that

It's just not the right time
I'm sure there would be a next time

EP#4: Bad to Worse to Worst?

Last Wednesday night at 11PM
I started doing my first final report in my COE115L
Which is all about the Video Card

Well one final report should require the following
*a title page
*discussion of the experiment (2 pages)
*conclusion/remarks
*data results
-answered questions from the book
-and the rubric

Note: * should be written using an Engineering Lettering

So it took me a while to do the discussion and the title page
And after doing it I slept already
I left my final report unfinished
But I woked up very early at 7:30AM
After having a breakfast
I resumed on doing my final report
And I was able to finish it at 9:30AM

But here's the twist
There is still one more final report
That I must accomplish
Same requirements, but its about the Hard Disk Drive

I was able to finish it at 11:15AM
But without the Conclusion
And there is also one big problem
For each report we have this orange thing
That is to be placed on the left side of the paper
It would look like a slide
Just like in the sliding folder
Problem is I ran out of that orange
And I don't have much time to go to buy some

Time is becoming a huge factor
Still I played it calm
I thought of a way
But I only acquired one orange
That I took from my previous report
Still in need of another one
I've became resourceful
By cutting from a plain bond paper
And colored it orange using a crayon
It doesn't look good

I think I would only get a grade of 40 or less
I was able to finish attaching the orange
Around 11:30AM
Deadline is 12:00PM
Knowing my professor
He won't accept late reports

Unable to take a bath this morning (took it before going to sleep)
Unable to brush my teeth
Unable to put on deo

I just put on my jeans
Then my shoes
Then took my cap
Plus my final reports
And a 2 pieces of I-Cool

(eew... gross)

I rushed to the elevator
And once I got in the FX
I tried to do the Conclusion
That I am lacking
But the FX is too shaky
Plus the driver always stops to try to get passengers
Plus the traffic
I arrived at school exactly 12:30PM

Knowing that my professor would not accept
My final reports anymore
I only went to my classroom
And thought of a plan

Here it goes
I planned of telling my professor
When he asks for my final reports on Tuesday
That I was sick last Thursday (that I am not)
That's why I wasn't able to pass it

I know there's only a slim chance
That my "excuse" will be accepted

So if it won't be accepted
I just have to make the next reports perfectly

Well another thing that I must do is to avoid that professor
From seeing me in school
But his classroom is only located
Next to ours
We are neighbors every Thursdays
So as I saw him walking to his room
I rushed and went to the canteen
To avoid him
And I bought an ice cream
After buying my ice cream
I returned to my room
Slowly, like a ninja
And I first went to the CR
To get a better view if he's outside the room
After checking if its clear
I then rushed to my farthest classmate from his room
And sitted and hid beside him

(whew.. that was close)

So I really have a class at 12:00PM
Also a COE subject
But not COE115L

And my professor didn't arrive
Thank God!!!
Because we are going to have an practical exam
If she came, but she didn't
It would make this day the worst
Because I wasn't able to study for it

I thought this would be a very bad day

But even with a slight relief
I've still got a lot to do
Such as doing my Calculus assignment
And studying for my quiz tomorrow

A short prayer before I sleep:
Thank you Lord God, despite the bad day
You kept my cool and I was able to stay calm
During the pressured situations
And I hope that I would be able
To convince my professor to accept
The final reports that I've failed to submit
Help me to perform well tomorrow
And keep me safe and my family as well
All these I ask in Your most Holy Name
Amen.

EP#3: 7.22 KB/SEC

I've accessed the internet in Nitro.Net thrice this week

My first time surfing there wasn't a pretty good experience
Because I find the speed very slow
Given that I am in a computer shop
I was quite expecting a faster internet speed than in my house
And to make things even worse
Every 10minutes - 15minutes you'll be eventually disconnected
How did I knew that
Easy, I am logged in on the YM
Then all of a sudden I became offline
Frustrating as it seems but it is the nearest internet shop from the Burg

So the next day I came back and same thing happened

But the following day Wednesday
I am the only customer in Nitro.Net at the moment
So I'd expected a faster connection than the previous days
But to my surprise
While downloading a DotA map
I checked the transfer rate
And it averages 7.22KB/SEC ONLY
Compared to 47KB/SEC in my house
So it took me more than 10 minutes to download
The DotA ver 56+AI
With a size of 3.51MB

To top it all
The one who is running the Nitro.Net
Is aware of these problems
But only remedies it
And does not fix it

Tsk tsk tsk
Ain't cool men

Well just got to look for another computer shop
With a FASTER INTERNET CONNECTION SPEED
That isn't too far away from the Burg

To Nitro.Net
Please kindly FIX your internet connection
Or else you may lose your customers

peace \V/

LP#2: It's been a while

Its been a while since a girl
Caught my eye
You're like a shooting star
Falling from the sky

And then you smiled at me
Then you winked at me
Baby girl then talked to me
Oh yes I had a good time
To know more of you

Want to see that face
In every while
As time goes by
I realize

Girl I wan to make you mine
Make you feel real love
And I swear
It will last a long long time

EP#2: I'm Proud I Realized

On the way home from Alabang

In the car with my mom and two sisters
Looking through the window
Thinking about my activities for the week

Something came to my mind

It is what I've become lately
Doing things that I dont usually do (smoking and drinking)
Prioritizing wrong things (DotA before studying)

I realized I've changed

Too bad its not for better but for worse

Thank God for letting me realize my mistake
Yes, I've got tempted and submitted to it

Of course it will come and come again
But to avoid it is what I must do

And I also realized
That it is a misconception
To do bad things to look good

Like smoking and drinking

Bad activities
But doing it will make you look "COOL"

Again I'm ready for a change
Not because of anyone
But for my own sake

This time it would be for the better
And better quit such things while its early
