Step Up Band

♥Tuesday, June 26, 2007♥

i've noticed that there's no new post lately, so i'll post something new. just so everyone who checks on this page knows, the band has stepped up (yes naman!) onto their last year in Highschool. yes, we are now officially SENIORS. we are the authority. yeah. hahahaha! but of course, that doesn't mean bullying the lower batches. we have to be good examples to them because if we're not, we won't graduate. hahahaha! so anyways.. what's up with us? erika, sarah and i are classmates. patty is classmates with our band mommager, cynch. and nicki, unfortunately, is separated from us. but that doesn't mean that we won't get to hang out as a band/barkada! we have breaks and weekends and every day that doesn't require us to be in our respective classrooms. second week has started, meaning it's kapatiran week. everyone in my barkada doesn't have a problem now because their sisters know who they are. but for me, i wasn't able to meet her today since she got sort of confused and didn't get the last clue. but at least now she knows me by name (or by face? i don't know..) and we really have to talk about our costume for friday ASAP. i have some ideas in mind, but i'm going to get her suggestions first. maybe hers is better than mine. hahahaha!

anyways.. we have our first ORIGINAL music video!! :D well, the music isn't recorded professionally. patty wrote a song, Weren't Meant To Be, and she recorded it in her laptop, then she let me hear it. i was so moved with the lyrics and melody (that i got LSS-ed on) that an idea for a music video hit me. i just used the recorded song patty made, since we have no time to arrange it whatsoever. the video's in my multiply, so check that out. i don't think i have a direct link to my multiply from here, so go to my blog first (by clicking my name on the profile part of this blog) then you can find a link to my multiply from there. but if you don't give a shit to what i'm saying, then okay. :) like i can force you to, right?

what else, what else.. nothing. hahahaha! i have nothing to say anymore, maybe because my head is full of air (literally). my head is now filled with nothingness, so you can put all sorts of paraphernalia inside, or make it a mug. hahahaha! since i have nothing meaninful to say, i'll just say..

later days, dudes. :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY STEP UP! :D

♥Saturday, April 07, 2007♥

wow. since when did i last post here? well, i got patty's offline message and she said there that she posted something new here, so i thought of posting as well. my blog's getting all cobweb-y, and so is this one, but i'd rather post here than in my own blog for reasons that i know not of. (uuyyyy, san galing yun? practicing for english iv?) so anyways.. it's been.. *counts* 5 days since i celebrated my birthday. yes, i have turned seventeen. super seventeen. hahaha! nicki's next on the list, and we're still wondering what we'll do on her day. i held a party at my house last april 2nd, and if you missed it, you can go to the following multiply sites to see what you've missed:
Patty
Viance
Vee
i haven't posted pictures from my camera since i'm too lazy to do so, but when i get home (i'm staying at my grandmother's place for holy week. i'm getting too bored at home.) i promise i'll post my pics at my own multiply.

i saw patty's latest post (look down) and i noticed the lyrics and title to my--no, OUR first original song. i really hope we could play it infront of more people soon, say, the fair or our legacy concert.

legacy concert---whoo!! it means we're stepping into our last year in AA. *sniff* i'll definitely miss AA. especially their siomai!! when they see me infront of them, they always know i'll buy 8 pieces of siomai with large iced tea, and something else when i'm REALLY hungry! (but when am i not so hungry anways?! hahaha!) i can't wait for senior year. i think and hope it will be a blast since there are all sorts of activities coming up, meaning more bonding with the batch! i just hope step up gets to practice this schoolyear, because SY 2006-2007 was jamming-free. haha! we really, really concentrated on our grades, since majority of the college admissions officers will be looking at our junior year report cards (which will be out on the 11th. gulp.)

so. what's lined up for step up this summer? REVIEW CLASSES. patty and erika will be starting this april, nicki, cynch and me on may. for sarah.. i'm not sure when. haven't asked yet. hahaha! i do hope we get to record our demotape so we won't go through all the hassle to find a day where we could record during schooldays. we have earned some cash on our latest gig (my birthday), but i haven't told my bandmates about it because it was just me and nicki that's left when someone (he/she prefers to remain anonymous) handed us a good sum of cash for a good job. so bandmates.. we have some money already. we just need to earn some more. haha! the money's with nicki, btw. :)

i think this post's long enough. i can't wait to see my friends again! :)

wow. i haven't posted for a long time. a junior's life is quite busy, and being involved in extra curricular activies makes you busier. so what's happening to our band? we had a recent jamming last week (or was it last last?).. no, we didn't pass the auditions for our fair. but we'll try again next year, and maybe get a few more gigs somewhere else..

i'm really happy cause during our last practice, we polished my song, Hindi Sinasadya. :) sadly, i will be the one who'll sing. but since we agreed to rotate band positions for some of our songs, then i guess i can't do anything about it. it's not yet done though, but we'll finish it soon. so to make my post longer, i'll post the lyrics to my song. :) ahaha kapal!! :P

Hindi Sinasadya - Anya (c)

Sa una
Walang lihim na pagtingin
Biglang nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin
Ngayon
Di alam ang gagawin
Pag dumaan ka
Ako'y napapailing

Di ko naman ginusto 'to
Pero anong magagawa ko?

Bigla lang nagkaganito
Napapatingin pag ika'y narito
Di mapigilan ang sarili ko
Di pinagplanuhan, talagang nagkaganyan
Hindi sinasadya

Sana
Hindi ako mabuko
At di malaman ang sikreto ko
Ngunit
Di alam ang gagawin
Pag nariyan ka ako'y napaptingin

Di ko naman ginusto 'to
Pero anong magagawa ko?

Bigla lang nagkaganito
Napapatingin pag ika'y narito
Di mapigilan ang sarili ko
Di pinagplanuhan, talagang nagkaganyan
Hindi sinasadya

Di ko matiis
Kung pwede lang, lumayo ka na please
Nahuhulog ang loob ko
Ako ay naririndi sa 'yo
Sorry talaga,
Ngunit hindi ko sinasadya

Bigla lang nagkaganito
Napapatingin pag ika'y narito
Di mapigilan ang sarili ko
Di pinagplanuhan, talagang nagkaganyan
Hindi sinasadya
Bigla lang nagkaganito
Napapatingin pag ika'y narito
Di mapigilan ang sarili ko
Di pinagplanuhan, talagang nagkaganyan
Totoo 'to, walang biruan
Kahit anong mangyari
Mahal parin kita
Kahit na hindi sinasadya,
Hindi sinasadya

i wrote that when i was in 7th grade, so the lyrics arent' that deep and shit. wahahaha but i guess the tone's catchy, cause when i sing it, i get LSS-ed to it. haha i hope we could get to polish a few more of my songs, the ones that i'm done with (complete w/ lyrics and melody). then we can record it! hahaha. :) someday..

but for now we're focusing on getting good grades for college, and PROM (which is a few months away. shit.). maybe next year we wouldn't be so occupied, since we're graduating. maybe that's the time we can insert band time in our schedules. but for this year, it's quite impossible. it's the most crucial and busiest year in HS. and i don't want to mess up my future just because of this. the band can wait. we'd rather have a "band leave" now and get to a good college than focus on our music now and land nowhere in the future. sad to say, bands don't give a promising future to everybody, and not everyone gets the chance to fame and fortune. we'd rather have our futures secured first, and then we can enjoy making music a bit later. :) we'll just have practices.. gigs? maybe next year. :) maybe when we're not too busy? hahaha i don't know.. we'll just keep everyone posted! hahaha

okay, it's almost 12.30. i'm sleepy.
