My Chemical Romance

Being an internet-addict myself, I learned to make use and fully-utilize the dsl internet connection at home. One of the most satisfying and addicting things that you can do with a dsl connection at home is to download using a peer-to-peer file-sharing application. Thank goodness that P2P file-sharing is not sanctioned yet here unlike in the US where downloading and file-sharing is a crime against copyright laws. I've had numerous albums, applications, softwares that I was able to download using this P2P applications. But I must re-iterate that I have these for personal use only and I do not intend to copy and sell these downloads for profit.

One of the albums I downloaded that surprised me was My Chemical Romance's, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge". I have seen the video for "Helena" a couple of times in music video channels but it didn't really appeal to me first "sound-wise". Though, they had done a creepy and eye-catching vid for that one. It wasn't until "the Ghost of You" that made me like this band and search their album for download. What really surprised me was that the creepiness and goth they personify wasn't really that much shown in the entire album. The album is a cross between, pop and punk-rock. At first, I thought it was another NIN or Marilyn Manson type of music but it wasn't. All-in-all, I gave it 3 start out of 5 but because I really am not a fan of punk-rock. Though I must admit that I never get tired of listening to "the Ghost of You".

It's time everyone flies...but with Cebu Pacific? Not anymore...

I am going to set this one straight...this has been Cebu Pacific's catch phrase for their air transportation services, "Cebu Pacific Air - It's time everyone (every Filipino) flies". I would like to share this horror experiences I encountered with Cebu Pacific, from ticketing up to actual date of departure. So here goes the story: It was January 9, 2008 that I decided to book a flight for 7 PAX to Puerto Princesa. I booked via their Customer Service Hotline Number. I was booked for a roundtrip ticket from MNL - Puerto Princesa and vice versa. I was given a confirmation day on January 12, 2008 on/before 3:00 PM. Ticket fare is P4,515 per head. Came January 12, 2008, a Saturday - I made my way to their ticketing office in Robinson's place, Manila to confirm booking and pay for the tickets. It was a rainy Saturday and I wasn't able to get on time (before 3:00 PM), but fortunately, I was able to have the confirmation time extended upon informing the Ticketing Agen...

Painful experience of letting-go and moving-on...

Yesterday evening was one of the biggest blows in my life. My girlfriend for almost five years and I called it quits . But it was rather an unforgettable experience, quite having me to pass-on sleeping last night. She broke up with me through text. At first, I was shocked because we were together at church a couple of hours earlier. With me having to pass staying afterwards at their place because I have an important function to attend later that night. She texted me a couple of hours later as I was in the middle of being merry during the event, It goes like, "she loves me very much but she couldn't deal with the hurt I am giving her by not reciprocating my love to her. She has no expectations whatsoever, given the fact that she can't push me to do that and she learned to accept me for who I am, but there are things that she wants that I cannot provide and that we can not be happy moving forward since we obviously have a problem". I was distraught. I did not know what ...

Cold Season starts the Christmas feel

Suddenly, the day's gone cold and windy... signaling the nearing of Christmas. Add to that the sprouting of christmas decors, lights and the very original "parol" hanging around the streets and windows. Truly it is, the start of the Christmas feel. Massive early christmas sales going around each and every mall, christmas carols being played, malls massively decorated. Yes, the Philippines indeed has already adopted the western culture, more particularly the commercialism of Christmas.
