Graduation later
...and I have chicken pox. But that won't stop me from marching. :)) Kung mahawaan ko batchmates ko, you're welcome. Di na kayo magkakabulutong in the future. =))

Pokemon Crystal
I downloaded a GBA emulator several months ago so that I could play Pokemon Red. Why Advanced? Coz I figured that after playing the game, I'll go downloading GBA games since I don't have a real GBA. I played the game for a while and stopped entirely. When we went to Nasugbu, we talked so much about Pokemon for some reason. When I got home, I created a new game on Red. I downloaded Pokemon Crystal after finding an unavoidable lv13 Pinsir in Viridian Forest, which sucks. Anyway, now I'm playing Crystal and I'm enjoying it. That's partially why I haven't been playing the piano anymore :))
Earlier today, I downloaded other games for my GBA, like a Super Mario game and the Japanese version Final Fantasy I & II. Maybe that would motivate me to continue learning the language again. :)

Classical Music Leave
I don't know when I'll be going to play the piano again. I don't feel like it recently. I haven't watched Nodame recently either. So what am I up to? Other than going to Pao's house, [and using his awesome drumset] I've been practicing more on the lead guitar and playing Pokemon Crystal [gastly \:D/]. Well, it's really good to be doing lead but it's really not helping with the playing the piano part. I've noticed that it's either I practice the piano or practice the lead guitar. It's never both. What a dilemma @-)
P.S. I'll probably post something Pokemon-related next. =))

Disruption in the Routine
It's true that it's hard to get back to what you normally do regularly if you won't do it even for a day. Seven days ago, it was Appreciation Night. From 8AM in the morning until 10PM in the evening I wasn't home. It was too late to play the piano and I was too tired to blog. For the next two days, I was either on the road or at Pao's house in Nasugbu, Batangas. It was fun, but the lag in my routine was really bothersome. That's two more days off of blogging and playing the piano. The result? Sloth. And lots of it. For seven days I haven't been taking blogging or playing the piano seriously. I haven't even been clipping my nails. Gross.
Anyway, I won't be playing the piano later tonight either. Maybe if I watch some more Nodame Cantabile, I'd get motivated again. As for blogging, there are so many topics available. All I need is to re-train myself to blog regularly.

Islamey
Islamey is a piece composed by a Russian virtuoso named Mily Balakirev. Many claim that it is one of the most difficult pieces ever composed. How difficult? Alexander Scriabin (that dude who had synesthesia) permanently damaged his right hand practicing the piece. Even Barakirev himself once admitted that there were some parts he "couldn't manage". The composer himself couldn't play his own damn piece. What the hell? Valentina Lisitsa could play it so gracefully though. =))
It's not the most elegant piece I've listened to but yeah, it's one hell of a piece.
Youtube won't let me embed the video here though. :-L Here's the link instead.

Bored.
There's some dude fixing one of our bathrooms and it's noisy as hell. What's worse is that I'm suffocating here in my parents' room, so I went to the terrace and read a book.
I went back inside when the bathroom was done. I found out that more people were online now so I'm thinking of staying inside. :))
First day out of high school and I'm already bored.

Ms. Sandra is apologizing to me. =)))))
For a minute there, I felt some sense of superiority. It's not everyday that a teacher will apologize to you, not the other way around. :))
So yun, exempted ako sa math. \:D/

Valentina Lisitsa
Why didn't I find you sooner? You're the best pianist on YouTube. @_@
Tumulo laway ko. Seryoso. =)) Probably because her Fur Elise. It was the most awesome Fur Elise I've heard. I'm in awe.
Sorry, guys. Puro classical recently. Nakakaadik eh. =))

One down.
You all know that it's the finals already and the exams earlier were Computer, Basic Accounting, Automotive and PE in that order. Luckily for me, I only took the last one. [Exempted sa ibaaa \:D/] It was a fun day. Regal would have missed his Computer exam, in a sense that he thought he was exempted, but he found out he actually wasn't, then again he found that he WAS exempted. Bottom line is.. he's exempted.
We also finally got our last two LTs in Physics. Of course I failed the last one but who didn't? =))
Tomorrow is Physics and CL. I'm exempted in CL. I thought I was exempted in Physics, too :( I haven't studied yet. Too much piano. @-)
And yeah, Paramore tomorrow. \m/

More Chopin Please!
My uncle's family came over for lunch since it was my dad's birthday. I played the piano with my cousin and we talked about classical music. Before, I was the guy with the most knowledge on the topic. Now, he knows more about it and I'm asking him! It should be the other way around! I'm so pathetic!
Well, he's in the college of music for some time now so I'm not really disappointed. Look on the bright side, he has access to a music library full of piano scores, which means I can ask for music sheets. \:D/
Summary: I've become more interested in classical music, and here's another Chopin etude. It's called "Winter Wind". \m/

I'm so happy now.
Despite the few viewers, there are people commenting now. Yay for the revival of their blogs \:D/ =))

Coincidence. That's all anything ever is. Nothing more than coincidence.
Tom: She took a giant shit on my face. Literally.
Alison: Literally?
Tom: Well, no, not literally. That's disgusting. Jesus, what's wrong with you?
I've finally watched it! Finally! They were right, it was a pretty good movie... although I'd say it's a bit overrated. (Kung bagay daw ung movie sa akin, no comment na ako) Thanks to Lorenz for letting me borrow his copy. :)

Theses. Part 2.
I'm done with Filipino so I guess the title should be something like "Thesis." Anyway...
It's 9:38 PM at the moment of typing and I'm yet to produce 50% more of Reading. [done with the cards, TP, FP, Outline, First three parts of Chapter 1. Around 5 more parts to go!]
What's worse is that I have no idea yet how I'm going to print all of these. I also don't know how I'll manage to get a decent score for the Physics Long Test tomorrow since I haven't studied AT ALL.
Well, at least I've done one objective already...
[X] Buy a purple shirt.
Hmm.. why am I even blogging. I'm just wasting time, dammit!

Theses.
That's the plural form of thesis by the way. [I think.]
I'm listening to Brahms' First Symphony, the one he composed for around twenty effing years. But who cares about that...
Homeworks? A bunch of theses. Filipino Thesis. Reading Thesis. [why the heck do we need reading?] I should be doing the Reading Thesis now, which is due on Friday. I haven't even done the body yet [same with Regal]. Take note, I've been using "I". That's because I really don't know if I have a partner. He's too... well... indifferent.
8:51 PM. TiK ToK. I have around 28 hours to complete the Reading Thesis. As for the Filipino Thesis, I'll be depending on Emil's progress. Maybe I could help by providing the synthesis of each chapter. Yeah, that would be nice. [Lalaki Sa Dilim, one of the best Filipino novels.]
