Tried something new
You can forget how to play.
Apparently, when you stop for a few months, you can forget how to play the guitar. Even your wrist hurts from holding the neck. I can still play, but not as fast and not as smooth. I still have the assignment of posting my old songs online. Trust me, I can’t even play my old songs. Moral of the story is that you shouldn’t stop playing.
I hated the “Aparisyon”.
So much that I’m writing about it. If you’re gonna make a 90-minute movie about nuns, it better have a good story. Nice to look at but I was constantly waiting for some things to happen. Too slow and too boring. Eh mabagal daw yung mundo ng nuns. Not an excuse to make a bad movie.
Highly predictable and you can summarize the story in his 3 to 4 sentences.
Man, the director was so naive to thinking that his film had meaning.
Watch “Requieme”. Sulit yun. Parang every minute, tumatawa ako.
Bawal ang pangit. Seriously. At ang pangit ay kaiinisan lang in the end, just like “Oros”.
Let’s write.
I just want to write
I am not a writer and definitely, there are people a lot better than me. I just want a place where I can rant about something, or a place where I can celebrate little accomplishments, or a place where I can just talk about the things I that I care about. Naks.
This may be a phase. I tried a photo blog, it failed. I tried a design blog, I stopped. Maybe If I can manage to buy a new slr, I can shoot and edit my own videos just like my college days. That would be another phase. I might stop when I get a new job. Or not.
I’m calling out to the people who can write. Let’s write. Tama na yung “I’m too busy”.
Ranting is an art and blogging is your medium.
"Let’s reclaim 5 years worth of memories."
Obligatory promise to myself
I just turned 25, and I did not do anything to celebrate it.
I look back at the past 5 years and I think I accomplished a few things, but I think of the next 5 years and I can certainly accomplish even more.
I listed down a few things and I should be doing more of these. They said I was passionate about what I was doing and somehow it faded away. I want to bring all of that back. Maybe little by little. I still have time.
1. Write more songs and record them.
2. Post those damn songs online.
3. Do more artwork. I may be concentrating on sales right now, but I still am a graphic designer. I shouldn’t forget that.
Some other things like learning to ride a bike, swim or drive, I can learn them at another time.
Here’s something I learned from today. Fuck motivation. Just do it and finish it.
My internal hard drive died. And I may have lost 5 years worth of memories. But with every ending comes a new beginning. 2 years ago, there were plans of doing a solo music project but I never got to finish the album. And I lost ALL RAW FILES. So now I’m kinda forced to release the songs into the world. At least someone else gets to hear them before something like this happens again. I’m gonna be posting a song a week. And when I run out of songs, I’ll make more. Here’s “Alive”, a preview of what’s to come. Happy listening :-)
