Bringing home some hard-earned golds

Its the 5th day of the 26th SEA GAMES in Indonesia and team Philippines is in 6th place so far with 14 golds,21 silvers and 27 bronze a total of 62 medals.

I'm really disappointed because the Philippine government is not in full support of our athletes.I remember my mom said that on a past SEA games a Filipino athlete was crying in an interview saying that they're no match for the other contenders and blaming the government for not supporting them and,now this would've made me cry too,for not even funding their plane tickets.Well,I wouldnt be surprised if that happens again.The government should not just support them financially,they should support them spiritually and morally and any way they think the can and stop blaming the past administration for screwing up and just MOVE ON! And to make that happen they should spread the SEA games fever!Like,show off live coverage of the games on Quiapo's LED display screen or at malls or any place with a huge display screen,like what they do in Japan when their national team is competing.

Because that's what the athletes need.For them just knowing that the people are cheering for them gives a huge boost of self-confidence.All of us should e cheering,its like our way of telling them that we got their backs coz if we dont,those athletes will go to the competitions very much feeling alone,and that could ruin their performance.But I am so proud of Philippines' team,our team,because they're struggling to earn more golds as much as they can.And 14 golds,no 62 medals! thats really pretty impressive.Ive been watching all,or should I say most of the games coz only two Philippine TV channels are doing live coverage.Also, the news are emphasizing on the gold-earners not even showing-off the sayang-moments of the silver and bronze medalist or even those who didnt win.And if the TV stations can give way to Pacquiao's fight,they should,too,with the SEA games or they can just squeeze in short briefing of every after-games.And If Manny Pacquiao's fights can stop the time of Filipinos,there's not much difference with the SEA games.Well,thats all yet of what Ive seen.

Literally brightens up my nights :P

Its good to be stargazing and relaxing with your friends especially after a stressing hour and a half of wild-ramming-of-keyboard game of DoTa.It was a breezy night and a song was playing perfect for us laying lifeless-like on the hood of a car like defeated soldiers.We're feeling bad cuz we expected to win after reviewing our heroes and the strategies and the build and all that.Not that Dota is really a big deal but it makes my knees wobbly after a game.
They're discussing the matter and by matter I meant what's gone wrong with our plan.Yeah we're making it overrated.Then I was like,anu ba ang OA naten.And we just looked up and stared at the clouds as it slowly unveiled the moon w/c shone brightly on us.And that's when the idea of stargazing came.Then,all of a sudden we were talking about how imperfectly beautiful the moon is with all its crates.So I got a camera and tried to capture the moon with its crates but I just cant.

Even with a 10x zoom camera.




So I just took photos of the night sky that was supposedly blanketed with stars.


We did stargazed ...
at this lone star,


at this lamp post,


and at these lights from a building construction
that looked like stars.
Until we grew tired so ..




 I just played around with the camera
taking photos of stuff almost half a mile away from us


while they're busy texting.


  Oh , 11/11/11 just passed :P

My Heart Beats for Angel Beats! part 2



My heart beats for GirlDeMo! The main reason why I love Angel Beats! is because of SSS' sub-division, the GirlDeMo short for Girls Dead Monster.It is unexpected that an anime like Angel Beats! has a rock band,even better an all-girls rock band!, that plays an important part to SSS' missions.Oh yeah they play! they play original songs made only for Angel Beats! series.The band serves as the diversion of SSS.They are first seen on the first episode's "Operation Tornado"(yeah,SSS missions have weird names,but its fun) I had no idea what could that be.I thought they would hostage students and force them to give up their meal tickets,coz Yuri said they'd ran out of those.

But to my surprise, a band started to play rock music, I was caught off-guard, I really didnt expected that.I found myself with a manic-like smile and in awe.Well, the band did took hostage of the students, by their music.The students were kinda brainwashed.

The other members guards the outside of the cafeteria, they do look like bouncers with high-calibre guns, but their purpose is to stop Angel from stopping the concert.How they get their tickets?When the show is nearing its end, they'd turn these gigantic electric fans on(dunno what fans that big are doing in a cafeteria)and the student's meal tickets flies right outside the cafeteria where the other members are.

There.I told you the surprise of "Operation Tornado".Anyways,Girls Dead Monster's lead guitarist,Hisako, is the best!She's the perfectionist of the band and she's just awesome!

Okay, all of that are biases, because I love playing guitar,too and female guitarists are,like,all cool to me.But Iwasawa,the vocalist,really has the focus in the story.She's had  a tough life...

Well Hisako created the band Im not letting it go but Iwasawa writes all the songs.But of course, its all just in-story, because its real people who created the band so are the songs but .. Whatever.All of them have the same awesomeness.All their songs are so kick-ass,as in, that they're actually doing concerts around Japan(I mean the music & voices behind GDM) and even released albums.Angel Beats! fans are going crazy for a season 2.Its not just the story, its the music as well that captures the heart of the people.
