To the people who keep a close watch on my adventures, I apologize for not creating entries for quite a while. I've been a little busy.ü Here's a rundown of everything I did.ü
Tuesday, April 5, 2005
I was supposed to log on and create an entry but I was interrupted when I received a very important text message. It turns out that the next day, our sector in YFC will be having an audition for its official band. I spent the time making calls and informing people. We had a couple of bad signs like the sngs required were ones we didn't know and our bassist was unavailable. We also heard that the audition is individual so how in the world is that going to happen?! Of course, we were very (and i mean VERY) determined to get the spot so we pulled strings and made calls and whathaveyou. I stayed up until morning for that.ü

Morning: I wake up early because we were supposed to practice at Carl's house. I open my phone and find a text message that upset me. It turns out our guitarist backed out because he will be meeting with his dumb girlfriend. (By dumb, i don't mean stupid. I think what I'm trying to say is that she's meddling or interfering or something close to that.ü) Nice. Really. Nice. Mark sarcasm in my tone.
Fortunately, the rest of the band is willing AND able so we push through with the practice and audition plan. We moved the practice to around 2pm.
2pm and DJ is unavailable so we move the practice to 5pm. Nice.
5pm I drive to Carl's place and happen to have met our bassist. I asked him if he wanted to ride with me since we're going to the same place anyway abnd he says no. Okay. But i thought that was kinda weird.
7pm Millions of pistacio and Uno cards and still no bassist and vocalist. Where have those people gone now?
We called people up and they had np idea where Jino (bassist namen) was. Damn.
8pm Dj has at last arrived but we were still missing 1person. We make calls and we find a replacement and rush to the venue of the audition.ü We got reunited with our former bassist, Mr. Christ dela Paz!ü Booyeah!
8.30pm inside my car, Dj had an emotional vreak down because hid girl friend wouldn't let him do his stuff anymore. By his stuff I mean he wants him to stop his band business with us. Great. How great can my life get?!
9pm we audition and get the place. Booyeah!ü We, unfortunately, have 2 more positions to fill because the band requires 3 vocalists. that's no problem.ü
I arrive at home at around 11pm. I slept well.ü

I fixed all my stuff for the big day.ü
April 8-10, 2005
Super bummer. Here's a list of all the things that went wrong.
1. The bus we rode stinked. And I mean that literally in the best way possible.
2. We happen to have riden with the most s.q.-water people i have ever seen. I woke up 2am and wanted to sleep but no. They just had to ride with us and keep us up. Great.
3. We stop over at this place for breakfast where i doubt the food. So much for not missing meals.
4. We get to our "bunks" and find... brace yourself... sako at trapal. Naman. Pagod ako at iritado. Gusto ko mahiga sa maayos na tulugan tas ganon. Nakakainis naman. Tapos mabuhangin pa at madamo.
5. It was s hot. It was so hot everywhere. You can't escape the heat!
6. We were stuck with Mcdo food. It sounds good right? Want to change your mind? Think Supersize Me. I am not in the mood for this.
7. I brought the wrong pants. Everytime I sit on the ground (unfortunately, that's the only place we CAN sit.) my undies are showing. Wala pa naman akong dalang belt. Great.
8. Nag-away si Ate Vanny at Wyn kasi naiwanan namin sha nung nagpunta kame sa Jollibee.
9. Nag-away si Ate Vanny at Pate kasi walang galang si Pate kay Ate Vanny, especially as a superior.
10. Amidst everything, I happen to be stuck with a poor girl with DPD. What is DPD? DPD is Dependent Personality Disorder. It makes you indecisive and very slow, not to mention annoying.
11. Yung liguan, heaven bless it,ay sako din. Meron namang maayos. Duh. Pero may pila dun eh. I don't have time!!! And to make matters worse, when you bathe, your silhouette is seen from outside. Arg.
12. I went to my friend's hotel to take a bath and happen to have left my underwear at the campsite. I wasn't able to take a normal bath. I just took a sponge bath. Pathetic.
13. 7am of 04-11 We were all excited to go home and the bus is nowhere to be found.
14. 12pm of 04-11 *tumbleweed tumbles* still no bus.
15. 5pm of 04-11 *sound of cricket* still no bus.
There are probably more bad things that happened. Some of which I don't remember, some I choose not to remember. But if anyone asks me if i had fun, I would have to say yes and jump all over the place.
Despite all the bad things that happened (I just told Mich this kanina.ü) I'm still very happy I came. I went there and made friends. I went there and I reunited and apologized to the Supreme Being who loves me so much - God.
He told me a lot of things and showed me a lot of things that now that I'm home, I can't wait to tell everyone about how great he is. I just love him so much. I guess it's true what they say. The more you hate, the more you love.ü
