dear everybody
after much ado. the eraserheads concert is most definitely pushing through.
philip morris and its brands have pulled out from the concert. but another company is taking over the production. the turn over started yesterday and they have already started work on the site in the fort. so you can check.
there are good news and bad news.
unfortunately its no longer free. all the long winded registration procedures in the red nation site is now void.
the good news is that the age limit is now 12 years old (for safety reasons)and tickets will be sold so you don't have to wait for confirmation and what not.
the official announcement and ticketing details will come out in major newspapers and on the radio on Tuesday.
these are the only details i know for now so no need to email me. im just the drummer.
btw. i just got home from the last rehearsal. the band is cooking. we will see you all on the 30th.
Thursday: I was exhausted and kind of feeling sick because I was helping my cousin for his project and had to finish things up in the office which I enjoyed but still had to learn a lot from it.
Friday: I was sick so I decided to call up the office told them I can't make it by morning but still I went there by afternoon and finished my deadline. It turned out well so after work I met my cousin at RP metroeast to buy some stuffs for my trip the next day (saturday). I went home late still feeling sick, headache, and sometimes getting dizzy.
Saturday: I woke up kind of feeling heavy but it didn't get in me cause the excitement of flying abroad is also in me although I didn't feel i'm going out on a vacation, haha (hmmm there must be something?!). I was packing my bag, it was getting late, my aunties' told me I'm moving slow and all. So after the bag was all set I hurried up to get a cab with my cousin and had a fast stop at my Nanay's small store to just bid goodbye. Then had the second stop at the hospital where my cousin was making her duty. And then off to the office. We all meet there and then we headed off to Clark where we'll be having our flight. When we were all in the plane and was about to fly, the pilot announced that there's a problem on our way to Macau. There's a supertyphoon that hits Hong Kong and that we can't pass by safely. So they delayed it for two hours, after waiting they decided to cancel the flight because of the continuing bad weather.
Yes it feels sad but at the same time we know we'll not enjoy the trip if the weather isn't fair right?! so it's just Ok. Although all the preparations, reservations and stuffs regarding the trip turned out to this was a bit disappointing, I mean for the effort itself and then suddenly it's moved. Anyways we're assured that it will still push through although there's no exact date yet.
After all this, we're very thankful for our boss that he still treat us to a drink and dinner inside Fontana Leisure Park (http://www.fontanaleisureparks.com/) at Clark Pampanga. It was a very cool place that has Casino, Resort, Hotel and other recreational areas inside. The restaurant that we got in has a very nice architecture and grand interior (some shots I took can be seen on my photos section here, wish i had took more pics, too bad). Plus the sumptuous seafood platters that was served was so far my finest seafood meal ever. What more can I ask for?! we had big crabs, shrimps (thank God my allergies didn't get me), lapulapu, mixed rice, vegetables... indeed our being upset plus the food equals glorious eating. haha.
After the dinner, we headed back at the office waited for some baggage and then went home. I arrived at the house, they didn't know the flight was cancelled, it was funny how my sister reacted. Hahaha, I thought my cousin which I texted told them but it turned out they didn't know anything. Nanay still told me that before they go to dinner they talked about me maybe enjoying myself at Macau. haha. But again that's not what happened. It just will, haha.
:: A while ago I was watching the series "how i met your mother" which i thought was funny. hehe. The episode I had watched was about Ted (an architect in this hit tv series) which missed a flight from New York to Chicago for his dream job. He was offered to be a project manager (youngest as he told) at one of the biggest architectural firm in Chicago but because of the misfortunes he experienced before his interview he didn't get the flight and so miss the chance for his dream job. At the end of the episode he speaks of "destiny". That maybe the job was really not for him and that if he didin't stay in New York maybe he had not met the girl he will marry (which is what the series is all about, on how ted met his wife).::
For the last few months Im riding this emotional roller coaster thing. It's just too much. One day I'm happy the next day I feel bad. It's not right and it doesn't feel good. The every week of unhealthy diet and too much drinking just brought temporary escapes. Yes it feels good, and yes its cool but how far am I willing to go? How bad does it gonna get?
Stepping out of the circle my life used to revolve into is one of the hardest thing I've ever done. Missing out on the people I love because I simply feel the need to stay away. It is not that I want to but it is because certain things are coming, expected or not, and it makes people and circumstances change and so I feel that the best way to keep myself from hurting me and others is to leave.
In those times that I'm out of the circle, there are people who came, some simply pass by. Some creates impact and some comes from the past then leave again. there are those you want to stay but needs to go and there were those that never say goodbye and leave you hanging. I just don't understand why people you value can't give back as much as you deserve and suddenly leave you. Or maybe I should not be expecting anything from anyone in all ways.Although I am not the type who needs to please people just for them to like me and accept me, I still feel the need to be somewhat appreciated - all humans do. I love loving people in as much as I hate hating them.
After all these struggles there came to a point where I really don't know where to go. Then I find myself in the church. Knelt down and crying.That's the moment I hear something my heart want to say in itself.Let go, move on and grow. That's when I feel God embracing.
"Time to grow". This is the line I'm holding on for a week now. Last week, I told a friend that one of my weakness is letting go. And maybe that's the very reason I do not feel the contentment and happiness. Letting go of my fears and some of the people I love (yes there's this gift of goodbye we need to practice sometimes and it feels good after), surrendering what I have and moving on to start anew.
I know it will be hard. But I believe it will all be worth it in the end. I'll start growing by learning to let go of everything. The pain and the doubts all surrendered to the One up there. And whatever happens, good or bad, for sure He wants me to learn something. I'll learn to let go yet never stop loving for I now it's the only way God wants me to grow. ^_^
