QTVs "top 10 rock band survey" is just like any other survey ever happened in the face of the entertainment industry. of course these were just produced to "entertain" us. "in my own opinion", i categorize it as unofficial, not worth to spend the rest of my precious time with (like pia guanio said in the end, results may vary when you share it with your friends). so at the end of the day, we still uphold what is inside our hearts and minds regarding who is truly the "best" among the rest. but still i strongly consider the statements of those people who gave their constructive criticisms about the bands. in surveys like these its my most awaited part, you know, the thing they gonna say about these bands cause we all know them, they really conduct reviews wholeheartedly especially luis katigbak and francis reyes!:) just a parting thought for all of the bands who were included in the list or even not:

all your success are fruits of your labor, you did your best and that was fantastic!, the fanatics appreciated it, we go gaga about you guys, can't take you out of our heads, so as the birth of surveys to know who's in or out in this business/market. but then again being down to earth about every achievement reached adds to the sweetness of these "fruits of labor", there is still no harm in keeping those feet on the ground. a band is composed of two or more persons. whoever is the frontman, spokesperson or leader of the band, roady, whatever you call it is given a chance to speak, or to react any thing about the band has to take full responsibility for the outcome of whatever is said and done. i believe they must behave accordingly in behalf of the band's total image or impression on its target market. let's not forget the saying that "every" action has its "equal" reaction, right?

but still there will always be fanatics (i believe that is you and me, hehe) who will always be there whichever bad publicity they may encounter.:) because i will always believe in what they can do, the way i see them perform live, sweats all over their faces, and in what they will do to keep the fire burning in my heart through their songs that truly inspire my life. that's the only thing that matters!:)

A Soulful Relationship
by Rev. Ronald McFadden

If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it.

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involve and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs.Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.

Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together.

Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship?

Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasti ng relationship!

Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.

What keeps a relationship strong? Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor,sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note). Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice email. Sharing common goals and interests.Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interests. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don't try to control one another. Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless. Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer.

If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion. The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you put the I.

nice to see you again bloggie!:)

you know what? today may seem just an ordinary day for the rest of the world but for me, today is the inSAMEly outrageous moment of my life, for real!!!

many of my friends since highschool years knew me for this addiction.
i don't give a damn to those who will think of this as a senseless conversation, any way this is my blog and you are just having the privilege of reading it for free! take it or leave it. all i want is full honesty of who i am right here right now!;D

to cut the story short, today i finally made my fantasies come to life!
i finally met the persons who inspired me to be myself and to take the challege to undergo productive changes in my life..haha! dang, clint and bob moffatt! from the moffatt brothers then just the moffatts turned to hidell and now SAME SAME! (well, honestly the last name seems so ordinary and so mainstream..?!?)

my friend christine ignited the flame of hope to see them in flesh today!haha!
i am so outdated that i haven't even heard the news that they are here again in the philippines!!! oh my goodness! when tin informed me that by 4pm they will perform at SM north edsa mall, i have no doubts that this is my last chance to take a step in seeing them or else succumb to self-reproach of not having the courage to make a move for nth time!!!

thank God for giving me a blessing called boyfriend named joseph who accompanied me through fulfillment of this unfinished business!heehee!:D

after taking our lunch, without enough sleep, i rushed him to go with me to SM north edsa...rain poured while we rode the bus, the rusty old bus with rain drops that kept on falling on our heads!grrr!that's why i hate rainy days...damn!!! not to mention traffic jams that gave the feel of excitement on ever slow stop overs! i cannot miss this event will yah pleeaasse let us pass?!?! as much as i would like to take a snooze my eyes are wide awake to see every landmark to give me a piece of mind that we can make it in time for the show...

of course this story won't be a happy ending if we were late right? duh we made it in time to buy cds and posters and go wait until the front acts perform thier jobs before the main act shows what they've got....

i really missed that "rush of blood in your head" moment that you don't care what they say and think about you crazy little holler girls who haven't outgrown childhood infatuation as they used to say...hehehe...but something still doesn't fit, it seems incomplete?...

finally the cd signing is next and i can't wait to see them upclose!*sigh*
while i'm in line i admit i'm out of focus for a short time on what to feel, think, and even the things i planned to say and do because its like, this is it beck! what up?! its now or never!!!

i tried to take photos of them with my low tech camera phone at least and oh by the way, i hate that guy who was supposed to assist us who crumpled the cover of my cd?!careless freak!iron your face and brain instead! (that's the problem of those who do not know how to take care of the things that are not theirs!hmp!) ...as i stepped on the stage, i reached out for my cd for clint and bob to sign in, there in a jiffy it passed by just like that! damn! can we rewind that scene?!........

clint signed the cover of the cd, i said "congratulations", clint starred at me like what now?! i starred back with a smile and focused on his round eyes, then the crew commanded me to move on, next me looking to bob while he signs my cd, bob looked up with a smile and reached out his hand and i took it and he squeezed mine, i felt his broad fingers touched mine (kinda rough, i believe due to drum playing which is so cool!remember that's one of my frustrations in life..) then end of story, goodbye, till next time!

so that was it?!

maybe i just expected too much of what just might have happened or maybe everything is too plain and ordinary that hey is this what i used to read from other moffatian in a mag about their experienced with the boys and now i can say "definitely i can relate first hand"?

whatever it may be, i realized that within that 6 years of eagerly wishing to be with them, my preferences has been changed as well. the momentum, the expectations, the music that is keeping me alive is continuously changing, well a proof that change is the only constant in this world. even with the fact that i will and always like them whatever path they take in this corporate world, (because they are and have been my inspirations) we are all just ordinary persons who happend to have different priorities, roles or missions in this life. yes we must exceed to what is expected of us to please others and to say that we succeed.at the end of the day, at the end of it all, we are all SAME SAME!:)

oh my goodness!!!
its been a long time since i last touched the options to go to this blog!?!
finally!..keep those avail moments coming!!! i need to create a novel here please!hehe..

where the hell was i??!!??

here i am again, playing with those memories again.. (yuck!sentimental garbage!)

i just have so much to tell but i don't know where to start?! i'm really getting old to remember every single thing that had happenned..

i'll just brief you with the good ones..

my family and joseph.

God is really good for giving me all these blessings!i wholeheartedly can say that never a day i regret meeting "moi".though most of the time we argue on matters that for some people think are too lame to worry about, i'm thankful for all the understanding he has shown me.i am immature, i am stubborn, i do what i want and pretend to be good at all times but "moi" did not ever leave me like what he did promise over and over again in the very beginning.in connection with my family, i'm also grateful for the good relationship of "moi" and my family. this is my first serious relationship with an opposite gender and he is actually the first guy i ever introduced at home to my relatives!
God is really good for making things work for the good of everbody! :)

contentment, i really like that word.

and i'm glad to say in general, i feel that way now! i'm
happy and satisfied! :)

in terms of work, nothing has changed i'm still in the same rut...

what's new?

most of my friends are also in the same field and i'm happy because we can talk about almost the same scenarios now, irate customers, wacky, cool and friendly customers, mostly weird calls we receive every single day. but the sad thing is we hardly see each other any more (like i used to do to them.. but still i tried to go even without sleep right?).of course, we'll find time, these days i really need some bonding sessions out there... (i can smell a colorless, neutral-tasting spirit distilled from grain,hmmm).

what else did i miss?...

maybe i'm just too sleepy and hungry to think and grasp what my brain is telling me now and the fact that my fingers are already swollen and tired from these words i have written, i better take a break...

don't worry i'll continue when i get the chance!haha! :D

at least i want to applaud you for reaching this part!take care everybody and Godspeed! :)
