Dahil Wala Pa Akong Tulog, Naitono Na Ang Gitara Ko (A blog in Filipino)

Dahil Wala Pa Akong Tulog, Naitono Na Ang Gitara Ko

Around 530am...

Di ako makatulog, kaya nag-ayos ako ng gamit. Napag-isip-isipan kong maglagay ng ilang palamuti sa dingding na "akin" -  "akin" na may kuwit, dahil ito yung parte ng kwarto namin na pinakamalapit sa aking kama, kaya't siguro, matatawag ko na rin itong sarili kong kwarto. Sa iisang kwarto lang kami natutulog ng aming pamilya. Kaya't nang matulog na ulit ako sa sarili kong kama (ang pang-itaas na kama ng isang "double-deck bed"), na dati'y ginawa kong tambakan ng gamit kaya hindi ko nahihigaan, sinipag na siguro akong mag-ayos ng gamit kahit papaano.

Nahalukay ko pa sa aking mga gamit ang dati kong "sketch pad" kung saan pinupunit ko ang aking mga obra maestra (kuno) para ipasa sa Arts class noong ako'y nasa ika-apat na taon sa mataas na paaralan. Ilang araw na rin akong nakakahanap ng mga kung anu-anong mga drowing ko noong ako'y bata pa. Nakalimutan ko na ring mahilig pala ako gumuhit at kung gaano ako kasaya sa pagpapakita ng mga drowing ko sa aking ina kapag may natatapos na ako. Naengganyo tuloy akong gumuhit muli!

Around 730am...

Pagkatapos nun, di pa rin ako makatulog, kaya sinubukan kong magtono ng gitara (kahit alam kong di ako talaga marunong).  Sa totoo lang, wala talaga akong tiwala sa sarili ko pagdating sa pagtotono ng gitara. Sinubukan ko na ring manood ng mga "tutorials" para sa pagtotono ng gitara sa Youtube ngunit tila wala talaga akong talento rito. Matapos ang ilang minuto ng pagpihit, di ako makapaniwalang medyo natono ko na sya. Sinubukan ko lang tugtugin ang mga piyesang alam ko na may mga "plucking" at tunugan ang kung ano mang tunog ang nagagawa ng bawat "string." Ilan sa mga kantang ginamit ko para i-test kung nasa tono na nga ay Ikaw Lamang ng Silent Sanctuary, A Bizaare Loves Triangle (o kung anumang titulo ng kantang iyon), Gitara ng Parokya Ni Edgar, More Than Words, Hallelujah ng Bamboo, atbp.

Hindi ko alam kung kulang lang talaga ako sa tulog at sa pananaw ko'y medyo nasa tono na ang gitara ko, o mayroon lang talagang mahiwagang diwata ng musika ang sumanib sa akin. Basta kapag tinutugtog ko na iyong mga piyesa, halos nasa tono na. Siyempre may natutunugan pa rin akong mali (na sa palagay ko'y fourth string) ngunit halos hindi na ito pansin.

Ang saya ko lang siyempre (at nag-online pa talaga ang lola mo para lang maibahagi ang kasiyahan)! Seryoso. Ito lang ang dahilan kung bakit nag-online pa ako ng ganito kaaga. Dati ko pang sinusubukang magtono ng gitara e! Siyempre masaya ako! Masaya ako.

Nahiwagaan naman ako sa nagagawa ng walang magawa at di makatulog sa isang tao.

Sa totoo lang, iti-tweet ko dapat ito, kaso limitado ang mga salitang pwede kong ibahagi doon. Sinubukan ko namang gawing status sa Peysbuk, ngunit napusuan ko siguro talagang gumawa ng Note. Napuna nyo rin sigurong nasa wikang Filipino ito. Napansin ko lang kasi, lagi nalang ako nagsusulat sa wikang Ingles, kaya't para maiba naman, ito na ang ginamit kong wika. Dadag na rin pala sa rason, sa di maipaliwanag na dahilan, ay ang pagpasok ng mga salita sa wikang Filipino sa isip ko. "Feel ko lang syang i-blog sa Filipino e. Bat ba?" 

Siguro BLOG nga ang tawag dito. Ako na ang gumaya kay @Faye Cosue. :))

Pagpasensyahan nyo na kung maguluhan kayo sa ibang parte ng blog na ito. Sabi ko nga, wala pa talag akong tulog.

A part of a song I just thought of around 3 minutes ago

Our timing is incredible

Our connection is undeniable

This couldnt be more perfect and Id have to say,

you really broke my heart that day

Now, our timing was incredible

Our connection was undeniable

It couldnt be more perfect but I... I did say,

you really broke my heart that day

So that is a part of my song :) The rhythm pretty much came with the lyrics. I dont know why I suddenly thought of making this into a song, but I do hope I get to pair the lyrics up with chords so I can play it on YouTube soon. I also wish to finish it soon. I did say that this was just a part of my song. Teehee!


Im not gushing, nor am I mourning about getting my heart broken. I just see those moments as opportunities for more lessons to learn and more inspiration for things - in this case, a song - like this one. I simply (yes, it is THAT simple lol) accept, forget, and move on. :) I just still dont get why these guys keep on wanting a lot of women, when we only want one guy... which would be Johnny Depp. LOLJK

I hope the people who read this (if there are any) liked the song. =)

My supposedly Status in Facebook

So this is one of those blogs wherein something weird (whatever you wanna call it) happens, and I just wanted to tell someone, but sadly, cant... not 'cause I am friendless (even I am not that alone) but because as it turns out, everyone I know I can tell my stories to is still asleep since it is 6:52 o'clock in the morning, and I just so happened to be an insomniac who obviously still couldnt sleep. (That was a looooooong sentence. Teehee)

I was supposed to post this on Facebook account as my status (and I did) but I decided to erase it when I had realized that I just sounded stupid. Here it is...

"I click on "Top News" and your name just so happens to randomly pop out on top of the list, even though NO ONE has really commented or liked your post and this post of yours was around 12345678910 hours ago. How is that even possible? It's called "Top News" for a reason. I mean... come on! Really, Facebook? Really?! And you do this to me, why?-Overreacting, yes."

So there you have it! That pretty much explains what happened to me. After contemplating (that has become one of my "favorite" words now) on the effect of what happened to my life, I realized that it really has no significant effect on me so to speak. I just found it strange that I was in a bad situation (which I put myself into and really do not want to go into details about) then something like THIS happens. I overreacted a little bit, yes; but come to think of it... what did I really get from it? *This would be the point when I'd laugh at myself for being this weird* Teehee!

Anyway, I hope I could do more blogs like this - just narrating what happened to me and inserting my insights. I'd have to say, I do find my insights interesting (of course, they're MY insights lol) and unlikely sometimes. I'd like to believe they're worth sharing. This, event that I have just narrated, however, is pointless. I just had to blurt it out on someone/something. I am planning on making video blogs though, which I hope will  be more interesting than this.

Cheerio!

Hi, guy that I like!

Hi, Im Gecca!

I dont have nice hair. I have eyebags. I have a snub nose. I love to eat, which is why Im overweight. Im no good at making decisions. I have moodswings. I cant sing. I have no idea what Im gonna do with my life so far. Im a kid by heart. I have this wild and crazy imagination. When Im off, Im really off. When Im happy, Im really happy... and this is what I mean by having every bit of the extremes. I get excited easily. I bully one of my best friends, just because I have no idea how to be sweet most of the time. I get jealous easily. Im a loud person, but I dont like talking to the guy that I like (merely because I dont like uncomfortable and awkward conversations, too). Most people think they know me, when in fact they dont have a bit of clue of who I really am. I hate who I am sometimes.

Malabo akong tao, and yes I like you.

Photo of something I took a picture of yesterday. No relevance in the blog. Just felt like posting it.

Paskuhan 2010

Oh yes, it is my first time going to the UST Paskuhan and I was so excited to see my high school friends, the fireworks display, the beautiful scenery filled with Christmas lights, and of course the bands.

 So I thought Alfonso "Chito" Miranda, Jr. was going to be there. I'm a great fan. I didnt even care if I were to go home late or not. I just wanted to have my photo taken with him, and sadly... I didnt get to, 'cause he wasn't freakin' there! Lol! Totally my fault though. People told me that he wasn't gonna be there and I still assumed that he was gonna go. Lucky for me, I got to see three of the best Pinoy vocalists on my list: 

Ely Buendia (Pupil)

Jay Contreras (Kamikazee)

and Gabby Alipe (Urbandub)

Apart from being with my best friends, the day/night was a blast cause the place was a perfect subject for my love of photography. So many lights! Aaaaaaaaaah! I Love UST... And Im not just saying that cause of the architectural perfection seen in the place. I love UST because I felt at home there. I would've gone there for college if it weren't such a hassle for me to commute going to school everyday.

 Being in UST made me realize how much I wanted to be an architect. How did I go from wanting to be a Marine Biologist, to a Lawyer, to a CEO, to a CFO, to a CPA, to an IS major in European studies student?! Architecture (was) IS the perfect course for me - a fine mixture between my passion for Art and my love for Math. WHY OH WHY? Anyway, so yea... I pretty much had a clear view of what path I wanted my life to take, all thanks to PASKUHAN 2010. :) Had a blast!

CHITO MIRANDA, IM STILL WAITING! LOL!

Best Friend = Journal

I'd have to congratulate my best friend for doing what she does best - listening to my endless (and sometimes, randomly senseless) stories.

I sympathize with her on being my "journal" for I have no outlet what so ever. I'd have to admit, sometimes I hold you back from the things you're supposed to be doing (like the time I was disturbing you and your blockmates while you guys were studying for your midterm exams). I am not that insensitive. I guess I'm just schizophrenic at times (maybe all of the time).

Thank you for being my living journal. :) I'm lucky.

For those who aren't as lucky to have a best friend like mine, I SINCERELY ADVISE YOU TO LOOK FOR ONE. They just may be the reason why you maintain your sanity.

For those who find it hard to trust people, the best friend you could still have is yourself... so, trust yourself. :> Talking to yourself is healthy. My best friends and I agree on that... unless it's in a freakishly weird and scary way, then I think you should see your therapist or something. loljk
