Haven’t posted in FOREVER. I decided to have a look at my Google analytics, and… Lo & behold!

I would’ve understood the typical search keywords to get to my site, such as “imee” and “imee music.” But look at these! Out of nearly a hundred keywords that linked to my site, here are the strangest ones…

10. chris camus slam dunk - No, I don’t have his video. I wasn’t even at the All Star games! Sorry.
18. asan na si badong canlas? - There in his dorm or probably at a game. Lol
19. band line up in ust paskuhan 2008 - I wish I knew, dear.
30. do jens knuttel had a girlfriend? - First, wrong grammar. :p And as far as I know, he doesn’t have one at the moment.
31. dylan ababou dinner - You wanna have dinner with him, or do you want him for dinner?
47. how to play banduria - I can teach you. Lol
49. imee love you never die - Uhm, thanks?
85. tigers chasing chickens - This cracked me up. What the hell was this about??
89. who is jonas villanueva girlfriend - ME! I’m kidding. I forgot her name though. She’s pretty!
92. zoobic safari feedback - I loved it there. Hehe.

Apart from these, there have been other batches of keywords in the past, such as batiwtiw (the name of a dog of mine that passed away), and *insert player’s name here* girlfriend. Aside from those crazy bunch of keywords, people have also been looking for specific members/players of the UST and FEU basketball teams, their girlfriends, various ex-players, ADMU/DLSU players, and professional players! What the hell.

the best thing about having the same zodiac sign as the guy you like? you can make fun of your horoscopes… check mine out… this cracked me up so bad, haha

The Bottom Line
If you’re working on starting a new romance, the best course of action is no action.

In Detail
If you are working on building a new romance, the best course of action for you right now is to take no action at all! Now is not the time for you to move any relationships forward — especially new ones. Do not fall under the false assumption that you need to provide positive feedback or encouragement in order to keep someone interested. Let them simmer in their own juices for a while. Or better yet — let them know that you enjoy being chased. And are worth chasing after!

so what now, we go running after each other? i’m a tiger and he’s a chicken. i do remember correctly during my family’s trip to zoobic safari, that the tigers were fed with chickens! HAHAHAHA. go figure.

Hey look who’s back! HAHAHA. I’m back, bitches! lol

I updated the site. I’m slowly importing all my blog/journal posts from my Multiply site, where I’ve been ranting off for the past few months, as well as older posts which I (being the crazy person I am) removed before. Talk about insane, huh.

ANYWAY! So yeah. There’s a new layout. Spiffy, huh? I’m vain, so what. It’s my site anyway. Teehee.

So I’ve been employed for about nearly 4 months now. Cool, huh? Since I last posted here (January 25), so much has happened! I passed my thesis, graduated, spent probably my best summer ever, lost another best friend because he moved, and got a job. I also completed the basketball season of my two teams (UST Tigers and FEU Tamaraws) and had the time of my life doing so. I also ceased to write songs temporarily. Boohoo. Let’s just say I’m lacking in writing inspiration. Well I do have lotsa thoughts, just gotta put them onto paper. After all, I got my heart broken or something. LOL!!! But I’m back! I’ll try to fix my life as days go.

Here’s a minor list of priorities I have before the year ends:

• get this site back up (almost there!)
• go to a concert (there’s a Rihanna/Chris Brown one coming up, I might go to that one)
• write songs again
• record a demo (found someone, just gotta write music!)
• buy an electric guitar
• get xmas presents for everyone
• fall in love (isn’t really a priority. more of a goal! haha)
• get a sideline for extra money
• clean my fricken room… it’s gross! haha

So that’s about it. I’ll be posting here every now and then, but first I gotta fix the site. There’s like, no pictures or whatever!!! Haha. Until then, ciao!

This picture was taken during my 21st birthday. He was in a cage because hmm, I have visitors. Haha.

My poor baby He died today… About 4 years ago, this puppy was given to me by my best friend. Batiwtiw, or Tiwtiw as we call him, is indeed a very important dog to me. I cried today when I found out…

I went arrived from work around 6 in the morning, and found him lying in his cage, barely moving. I knew he was still alive, but I somehow knew he was going to die… So yeah… When I woke up in the afternoon, my mom told me that Batiwtiw is gone I couldn’t cry. I don’t know the reason for sure why he died, nobody knows. All we could do is theorize the possibilities. Maybe he ate something wrong, or maybe it’s that stubborn wound which might’ve gotten infected. Or maybe it’s just his time I’ll miss this little fella… Though “little” is an understatement… This hybrid of a pitbull and a golden retriever + rottweiler is anything but little!

He’s now burried in one of the vacant lots down our street… He’s too big to fit in the earthy areas w/in our own lot. At least he’s still near, though.

I’m sad, just a few days ago my brother’s dog Queenie died. Now Batiwtiw is gone as well… I even cried while on the way to work. I’m tearing up now… Byebye Batiwtiw… Have fun in doggie heaven… We’ll miss you…

byebye Batiwtiw :'( December 27, 2004 - September 24, 2008

I’m only sorry I don’t have enough pictures of him in this post. I have a lot  pics of him in my laptop at home, but since I’m at work I don’t really have the privilege of accessing those photos now. Boohoo

Gaya-gaya kasi ako. LOL… No, actually I never thought na ngayon ko na gagawin to, kala ko there’s at least half a month more to go before I bid my two UAAP teams goodbye for the season eh. I even thought for a moment na baka sila ang mag harap sa finals…

Anyway, enough of the drama. Where do I begin my “ode” to my two college families?

UST Growling Tigers

5 | Tata Bautista
My dear rookie friend. Ang saya mo kausap, kaasaran, at kakampi sa pang aasar sa “kanila” ;p Also very very polite. “Hi ate!”/”Ingat po, ‘te!”/”Thanks ate!” … Hahaha. Keep up the great work, kid… You’ve got talent, now show it!

6 | Dylan Ababou
Ang kababata ko, kaasaran ko, kaibigan ko. Sa dami ng ating pinagdaanan, all I can say is that me & my family are so proud of you. You’re like a brother to me. You’re one of the best athletes I know, and not to mention probably the humblest. Stay great yet humble, and God will keep showering you with blessings.

7 | Badong Canlas
Mark Angelo, kamusta ka naman. I’m gonna miss your ipis moments. Lamo na yun, haha. But seriously, si Mr. “Paupdate ng Ipod” ay isa sa mga seniors na super mamimiss ko. Kalog, okay ang taste sa music, and hopefully someone I can trust with a secret. Kaso Dong, bunyag na. “Leche!” =p

8 | Milan Vargas
Hayup, may singing voice ka pala, hindi ka nagsasabi! Normally seen as outspoken, this guy knows which tunes to crank. Pag gamit niya ipod ko, nako, get ready for the best urban mix. Also pretty funny, ang galing mag wacky! Haha

9 | Mel Gile
Hi babe! Lol. Hinding hindi ko malilimutan mga pangtitrip neto saken. Magmula sa pagtawag sakin ng “babe” at “idol” hanggang sa pag ipit sakin sa loob ng bus, at pagtawanan ang pagkatakot ko sa gagamba. Dude, you’re pretty funny… Sana walang limutan kahit todo gaguhan. Haha ;p

10 | Jeric Fortuna
I’ve yet to know this guy really well. Though he’s really nice! Kala ko at first, snob to eh. But no, ang hirap lang hulihin ang kiliti. But once you get there, todo bungisngis na! Haha. Amazing talent for such a young player. Can’t wait to see you next season!

11 | Melo Afuang
The guy who never fails to call me “Brian Ilad” (the reason, I keep forgetting). May nicknames na nga yan saken eh. Brye, Ilad, Berayan… you name it! Hayup sa patawa. Pati gf dinadamay sa kalokohan (pareho daw bang magdemand ng chocolate sa friend ko… haha). Stay cool & funny tsong!

12 | Chris Camus
Mr. Californayay! Haha. Mr. “I’m always online sa Facebook” =p This guy never fails to greet me whenever our paths cross. Kamukha ni JayR (the singer). Napagkamalan pa ng guest nung party ko as JayR, actually! Hehe. Nice, masipag and talented. Keep it up!

14 | Khasim Mirza
Treasured friend ko to. We may not seem close, bihira pa magkatext, but the things he’s done for me simply can’t be repaid that easily. A true gentleman off court, and a funny guy as well. Best sense of humor (next to Bou, haha). Love this guy, someone I can consider a best friend if he lets me.

16 | Ciz Allera
Mr. “Pa-update ng Ipod” part two. Haha twin towers nga kayo ni Badong. The guy who has no cares when changing clothes kahit may tao sa room, palibhasa model. Haha. Joke lang, Ciz! But seriously, this guy has an amaaaaazing voice! Have you heard him sing?! My goodness, he beats Alex Band of The Calling, any day. Rock on, Ciz!

17 | Chuck Taylor
Duuuuude. You’ve cheered me up in more ways than you know. When this old person was pissing me off, this guy somehow came to the rescue without even knowing it. Basta nung isang dinner ng Tigers sya nag scoop ng icecream para saken kasi ang lampa ko. That was enough to make me smile kasi feeling ko wala akong kakampi nung gabing yon. Thanks, Chuck!

18 | Japs Cuan
Japsee, captain ball. Sorry if we had some weird “ilangan” moments for a while. Whatever happened, I honestly don’t know how it started. I’m just glad na okay ka w/ me & a certain group of friends of mine na medyo nailang ka after a certain incident. You’re one awesome, awesome baller. One of the best point guards I’ve seen in a while. Stay humble, and stay happy!

19 | Carlos Fenequito
One of the first rookies this batch na nakilala ko. Maginoo pero medyo bastos. LOL! This guy can be nice, but can be really annoying at times. But I guess that’s part of his charm, if you can call it that. Basta, yan si Carlos. Patawa, simpleng gago, pero mabait. Salamat sa pagtama sa mukha ni…..YUN NA YON! Hahaha ;p

20 | Jervy Cruz
Woist Jervyboy!!! Haha. My mom’s superfave Tiger. The bungisngis king, a “gentle giant” to many. Hayup sa mga patawa, salamat sa panghahamon saken ng laban ha! Hindi ako takot sayo oi! Hehe. Rest up nalang, man… Para pagdating PBA draft, ALAM NA! I’m sure pasok ka. Pag aagawan pa! Kitakits nalang sa pro’s at sana wag mo kami kalimutan or else papasuntok kita kay Cathy! Hehe

21 | Jackson Wong
Whoo… I haven’t really bonded with this guy. Pero nung opening ng UAAP, natuwa friend (or was that girlfriend) niya kasi ngpapicture ako. “MAY FAN NA SI JACKSON!” Aaaamp, Jackson san pinost ng friend mo yung picture naten?! Haha. Looking forward to seeing you play more!

22 | Allen Maliksi
One of the best rookies I’ve seen in a while. I guess it just wasn’t his time to shine this year because of that dreaded ACL injury. Pero pare, it brought you closer to me & many other people. Yung kaka-visit ko sayo sa hospital, sincere yon. I really see great potential in you, so I hope you’ll heal really quick so you can show the world what you’re capable of! Mr. Slam Dunk!!! Also has a great sense of humor. ALASKADOR! Haha =p

4 | John Lee Apil
Our guardian angel. Rest in peace, friend. Thank you. You know what I mean.

FEU Tamaraws

4 | Andy Barroca
Andoy! Haha. Really nice guy. Medyo ilang ata ikaw samen lately? But definitely one of the best overall players I’ve seen. Inside & outside shooting, defense, rebounds, you name it and Andy can do it. Except maybe a dunk–I haven’t seen him do that. Haha =p

5 | Jun Tanuan
Jun! The guy who never fails to make me laugh even if I’m not supposed to laugh. Marunong kasi maki-wavelength samen ng “sis” niya! I hope to have more bonding times with you, masyadong maiksi ang chikahan natin after games! Basta keep up the defense, ang galing mo tol! Big man in the making!

6 | Daddy J Alisbo
Bansag ko lang yan, aside from Bossing na tinatawag din niya saken at sa friends ko. Super kalog, minsan hindi mo na alam if nasa katinuan pa. JOKE! I’m so happy for you & Lorane, ang cute ni baby James Lebron Alisbo eh Again, another great player. Super shooter yan inside & outside. Galing!

7 | Ben Fernandez
Hayup ka idol! *gesture* Ultimate number one victim ng trippings namen ng friends ko. Maka-laglag bag! 3 bags ko na ang nasira pag anjan si Ben, weird huh? Pero this guy is an amazing streak shooter from the outside… And when he does layups? AMAZING. Tamawow talaga!

8 | Mark Romero
Really nice kid! Buti nalang nakilala ka na namen before the season ended! I’ve yet to see you play college ball, hindi ka rin kasi masyadong pinapasok nung summer eh. Basta I believe in you and your talent, kaya sana wag ka nang mapula ang mata at mukha pag labas ng dugout. Be that bungisngis kid you are!

9 | Gi Macazo
Aw, man… I’ll miss this guy sooo much! Kung bakit kasi one and out ka!!! You’re one of the truest friends sa Tams. Always there, ang daling patawanin, and minsan may pagka-emo pero may pagka-payaso din at the same time. Gulo no? Don’t ever give up playing ball, and don’t give up on love. Hehe

10 | Ron Cabagnot
ROOOOON!!! One of the best guys in the team when it comes to making me laugh. Pero ang hirap niyang patawanin pag sad ha… But anyway, he’s super kalog. Great player na, great friend pa. Super sweet, lakas magpatawa, and super kulit sa teammates. Kung mang trip at kung tumawa, akala mo wala nang bukas (teammate na niya nagsabi niyan!). Haha. Stay true, I’ll probably miss you & Gi the most sa mga lilisan…

11 | Paul Sanga
My personal payaso. He’s not aware of it though. ATA. Cuz he’s really funny to watch when on the bench, pero GRABE yan sa court! Streak shooter! I’m not really close to him, pero natuwa akong andun siya sa UST Paskuhan kahit tiga FEU siya. Nice guy.

12 | Mac Baracael
The second guy I’ve met sa batch na ‘to ng Tams. PBL kasi, teammate niya si Badong sa Mail & More. Since then, buking-buking ang abot ko sa kanya! Buti nalang the guy I like wasn’t paying attention nun, pero kulang nalang ipagsigawan ni Mac sa buong Arena! Haha. But he’s a really nice guy. Comedy. I enjoy watching this guy play ’cause he’s got so much heart, and he’s my friend’s idol pa. And him getting shot? Almost not an obstacle. Lakas ng will power, bilib ako! So more power and God bless to Mac Attack ;p

14 | Jens Knuttel
The truest Tam I know. Fave player & idol ko, since the Baby Tams days pa. Man, you’ve changed so much sa looks, pero sa ugali as far as I know he’s still the same. Super nice, super sweet & super true. Lakas din mang trip, lalo when it comes to my crush, iinggitin at iinggitin ako niyan! Oh diba. Che! Haha. Pero this guy sure knows how to cheer me & my friends up pag talo ang FEU o UST… At siya ang expert ng wacky pics!!! Himala pag nauubusan ng wacky yan, next meeting niyo may panibago nanamang pose. Haha. Basta stay true, Jensydoodledo

15 | JayR Cawaling
My “anak” sa team… Pero hindi ko pa ipinapaalam. Hehe. Nawala kasi sa eksena yung dapat ay “tatay” niya. LOL =p But seriously, this guy is super nice & down to earth. Ang galing din netong shooter! Did you see his game today? What heart and talent! Okay din kasama, feeling niya putol sya sa pic, or hindi nakuha yung pic, or hindi sure if sa kanya kame magpapapic. OO KING! IKAW! Haha

16 | Mar Adolfo
Nabansagan namen ng “Mama Mar” (with Papa Chel) pero inside joke nalang yun. Sumasagot naman sa Mama Mar to eh. Hehe. Smiling almost 99% of the time. Kahit talo, smile parin for the fans. A truly nice guy, and and amazing player at the same time. Sa dami ng dinanas neto to get to success, I’m just glad he chose to keep his feet on the ground

17 | Al Ramos
Mr. Most Improved player and my candidate for Best Defensive Player! A guy I can consider as a best friend, this guy sure knows how to cheer me up. Kahit minsan Tigers-related o player-related ang himutok ko, parati akong napapatawa neto. Kahit minsan pa ay sa kanya ako bwisit, napapatawa parin ako. PESTE!!! Haha. Despite the tampuhan and what not, he’s still one of the guys na kampante ako. Sana lang hindi ka magbago, and I hope you make the right decisions in life… Na maging teammate si Dylan sa Harbour! HAHAHA =p

20 | Reil Cervantes
Ang “Jervy” daw ng Tams. Hehe big man but a gentle giant. Super nice at kalog neto whenever I ask na magpicture kame. Though hindi kame close, super taas noo ako sa taong to. Ang galing super!

22 | Robert Kave (no picture)
We may not have known each other personally… Actually the closest I’ve gotten to you was when Ron took this random pic of you using a friend’s camera. Haha. But I really think you’re an amazing player. Hope to see you next season, suiting up for the Tams again!

This isn’t really, goodbye. Just goodbye to the UAAP season… I’ll cherish these moments, hoping you guys will add even more in the upcoming months (and hopefully years) to come! Thank you for one of the most memorable UAAP seasons I’ve had so far. Mga champion kayo sa puso ko! In the eternal words of Gi, Go USTe! Go Tams!
