Just Looking Back [08 Feb 2004|02:41pm] [ mood | reflective ] [ music | soft hum of electric fan ] Here's a short story entitled "Jacuzzi." It's an old story but I just thought of re-posting my old stories just so that people can read; it just sucks when things die that easily. I'll be posting a story about every 2 weeks. So watch out. As for the meanwhile, happy reading. ( Read more... ) 6 comments|post comment

i need some time to think... [04 Feb 2004|06:06pm] things are getting a lot weirder as the days pass by. i want to talk about them, but a part of me thinks it better not to. i want to blurt them all out, but i'm afraid people might think i'm absurd or weird or maniacal or schizo or stupid or blasted or twisted or loony or just simply me... and that's not so good to know. dunno. i'll stop updating about myself for a while. maybe... strange when you hear lots of voices -- friends, family, "friends," acquaintances, God, or even some distant echoes from the deepest cracks and slits of your mind... ... i'll just shut up. things are definitely getting a lot weirder... and i can't say i'm not being affected by the tides of change. 2 comments|post comment

Hmmm... just some more and that's a CD already... (",) Mimic Lyrics by Jake Alejo and Rychus Cortina Music by Jake Alejo A lighted furnace fades in a crevasse Dashless Ares, he's gone breathless Unless you're you (Caring not to hear the words) Lest you're you (That I always wanted you to hear) Mellow pillow, hello ya fellow That slow stiletto, you gonna swallow The truth (Falsified with everything you see) Bellow under the truth (Falsified so as not see) Master of escapism Master of your pessimism She will never let you in/ And (/When) I thought you heard me say It'll never let you go away A dimlit furnace fades in a crevasse Breathless Ares, he's gone soulless Unless you're you (Caring not to hear the words) Lest you're you (That I always wanted you to hear) Vulgar drunkard, bitter with sugar Far-seeing cars sparring with the stars (Knowing you can't put their light away) Sparring with the stars (Ending up all in dismay) Going nowhere far Then I thought I heard you say Never go away Jake, minor changes: these words in brackets are additional lines to be overlapped with the other lines below them. Another voice should sing all these parts in parenthesis. 3 comments|post comment

"On Not Being Number One," "Stasis," "What a Christmas," and "Sleeping"- A Loooooong Entry [20 Dec 2003|05:01am] [ mood | monotonous ] [ music | ragnarok music at prontera ] I know I haven't been updating for a while. Sorry, I've been busy with band stuff, more so when we had to practice for the screening. Well, guess what? We're in. Doofus on #7. Wow. That means we're second best in all the bands who were screened! You know, the last bands in a concert are always the best ones, so as to ensure that the audience will stick with them until the last minute. #7!!! Anyway, Erik made a sort-of "bet." He said that if we get in, we're going to buy an eggshaker and a box (good substitute for the bongos we've been using, so as to improve the sound quality of our music). Well, here comes money-burning. Hehehe, in a good thing though. It was unbelievable that three of those who entered were one-man-bands, solos. As I have heard before, those who did solo music for the auditions will have a hard time. Chances were they won't get in. But, oh well... Rumors are not laws... Am currently listening to Parokya when I thought I'd type down the lyrics of our newest song. Jake and I did both the lyrics and chords during the recent class outing... Well, here it is, Stasis: Stasis Looking over my shoulder And I see that there's nothing there (There's nothing there but...) I keep going on but I don't remember Why I even tried to find my place And time and my eyes just open slowly The world's so full of dust And darkness all around (That I can't see...) Where I'm going, where I'm heading for And I can't stand living this pain of a hell Oh well, oh well, oh well (Oh well, oh well...) Chorus: As my visions blurs, my portrait slowly burns (Burns as well) Having doubts if my reflection is even me (Who am I?...) I think I'm a gone, I think I have lost my way (With no trail to follow) It sickens me to know that I can't do a thing To change This world This fucking (/forsaken) world [Bridge] The world's so full of dark And darkness all around (Animosity that I can't see...) Where I'm going, where I'm heading for this time around again (Around again) And I can't stand living this pain of a hell (Pain of a hell) Oh well, oh well, oh well (Oh well, oh well...) (Chorus) Well, Jake reckons we should make up some lyrics for the bridge part. I don't know. I think it's better the way it is now. Now, I have really nothing to do. I don't knot. I feel like I want to unlearn some things and start over again. Like being a novice when I'm already at the top of things, seemingly, that is. I see my life right now as very monotonous, if it were music. *sighs* Boring Christmas Break. I wish I were somewhere else, preferably anywhere. Knowing I won't be able to go anywhere, I'll just sleep the days off and dream of being in Dreamland. "It's amazing how you can sweep me away from here" - Gentle as a Breeze How I wish... I'm in the mood to make up some 3 more songs for the band. Oh and by the way, the band name's officially Doofus. Only lately have been joking about "Stupid Burger" as a substitute to the bandname, but I don't think that's a good one since we're not going for the laughs. As Jake puts it, I don't want to be like Parokya ni Edgar... As for some about-to-exist songs, Jake's making up a new song, "Take my Hand" which was formerly a very lengthy poem. As for me, I think I'll be making a Christmas song that talks about friendship, something like Linkin Park's My December. Yup, this is my December, boring... And I think that too for this coming Christmas. And speaking of Christmas, I want to say sorry to all my friends that I was not able to give you gifts. Sorry, medyo kapos sa pera. To add to that, I'm having a loss in time lately. Even for myself... Just to cross this season, I'll be off reading Harry Potter 5, El Filibusterismo, Galileo; making up some songs and lyrics for existing songs; sleeping, hopefully to dream of that red electric guitar in my head, well actually I like blue better, hehehe; playing my thief at level 43-32 (Ragnarok, as usual); talking to friends through the phone from time to time; eating all sorts of sweet stuff... Argh... I miss school. Well not really, considering Mrs. Bernar-Do... I miss third year. I want to go back, as if I have forgotten to do something in the past. I want to stay in third year forever. As if that is possible... But no... I have to face this dumb Christmas, without my friends... Oh well... A Merry Christmas to everyone, in casing I don't find the time to update again... A very cold one, that is... I hope to see ya again... somehow, even in dreams... 2 comments|post comment

Nothing Much [06 Dec 2003|11:05am] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | hum of fan and soft buzz of laptop ] finally after months of idleness, a project for the band! we're here now at jake's house, practicing cover songs and songs of our own for this year's school fair's concert. we just registered last thursday; the screening will be on dec 13, 9 - 12pm. we'll be singing 3 songs for the auditions: 1) wonderwall by oasis; 2) seven days by carig david, and 3) well, we don't know yet if it's going to be i miss you or stellar, both by incubus. i miss you is easier to sing and i can reach the high notes somehow without using falsetto, which often softens the loudness of the voice. as for stellar, it has more impact and "angas" factor... if i just knew how to sing it properly, maybe i'll choose stellar, but then again we have to deliver all songs in the best way possible so as to get their applauses. i think we'll have to settle for i miss you. hey, by the way, it's till an incubus song, meaning it's good music, hehehe... anyway, jake, erik and jona are playing basketball outside. i chose not to go with them coz i'm no sports person. and so i'm stuck right here in front of jake's laptop. been playing guitars and bongos... i also tried to find a god beat with the drum set. i realized i need to study drums before going in front of it. oh and i'll be downloading some tutorials on drums later, and hopefully some tabs. playing drums has always been a dream. we'll be practicing later again when they come back. and oh, to all of my classmates, party ni jake mamaya near powerplant. text nlng to know where... that's all for now. ps: it's hard to play ragnarok when the server keeps on kicking you... hehehe 2 comments|post comment
