twitter. haircut. and all else.

// April 22nd, 2009 // Comments Off // Computer, Life, Music

Haven’t written a song for weeks. Got a new haircut. Spent the past half hour trying to upload a picture on Twitter and FAILING. That’s why I’m not using that thing! I’ve had it for nearly a year but there’s absolutely nothing on it. Add me? twitter.com/r0ckergirl14

Oh yeah. I’m finally beginning to enjoy work. Guess why.

And here’s a pic of my hair. I wanna dye it red! Like, Hayley Williams in Decode kind of red. Not Lindsay Lohan in Parent Trap red.

Until my next update. Tah-tah!

radio.blog installed! :)

// March 1st, 2009 // Comments Off // Life, Music, Site Updates, Work

HEYAAA! I’d just like to let y’all know that I installed a little thingy called “radio.blog” on my MUSIC page! I had this before, a couple of years back, but I’ve only gotten to installing again it tonight. Haha.

So yeah, there’s new music there. It’s not original music though. I have my 4 “best known” original songs there plus a bunch of covers. Two new uploads are there too, namely “Breathe No More” and “Good Enough” by Evanescence. I sang them terribly, but let it go ’cause this is my site. lol Click on MUSIC at the sidebar now!

Anyway, I’m just at home groovin’ to Paramore and trying to rest ’cause my body is having a war with me. Sadly, it’s winning. I have this strange pain on my right knee, right shoulder blade and my tummy area as well, and on top of that my eyes are killing me!

So it’s now March. I can’t believe it’s March already! (Happy birthday to my friend Kix by the way!) Two months have already passed by and I didn’t even really feel them. Haha. In a nutshell, here’s what happened in the past two months: I almost died (I’m not kidding) on New Year’s Day, I turned 22 on January 8, and I had no date on Valentine’s day. Or maybe I did. I’ll leave it up to you to guess.

What am I up to? Well there has been a LOT of work lately… Not that I’m complaining, but you know, commenting on 30-50 sites in addition to writing 3 articles each day can get mentally exhausting! Good thing I always have my iPod and sites like Facebook to keep my head balanced, eh?

I wanna get a haircut and I also wanna dye my hair. I just can’t find the time ’cause I’m always either tired, sleeping or not in the mood to go out. Haha, RANDOM!

I’m going to Eraserheads Live: The Final Set on March 7th and I’m really excited. For those of you around the globe who don’t know the Eraserheads, well let’s just say they’re the Beatles of the Philippines. They broke up a few years back but they are so legendary here that the millions of fans finally got their wish–a reunion concert. This is the 2nd reunion concert, and the final one at that. It’s my FIRST concert of theirs, because I was just a wee little kid during the peak of their career in the 90s. Yeah, that’s right.. You’re old.

Check out my Friendster horoscope for today!

The Bottom Line
This is a good time to indulge in fantasies. Imagine what you want your life to be.

In Detail
Thinking ahead may seem impossible — right now, you really don’t know what’s coming. Since you don’t have a crystal ball, you won’t be able to figure it out without more information. But maybe you shouldn’t get so caught up in thinking in terms of a certain timeframe. Instead of figuring out what the next week, month or year holds, think in bigger and less specific terms. This is a good time to indulge in fantasies — imagine what you want your life to be like, in general.

Now, that is something to think about! I have to fantasize about my being a rockstar in the future. And I have to meet David Cook and Adam Lambert too. Probably get married to one of them. Lol.

I’m blabbering. I don’t even know if I still make sense! But anyway, the whole point of this post was just to promote the MUSIC page that I’ve just spiffied up. Go visit!

PS: Also check out my HERBALIFE site, click the link on the sidebar to visit. Thanks!

lalala life is wonderful

// February 27th, 2009 // Comments Off // Celebrities, Life, Music

Hurray. I’m posting here more now! I just renewed my domain a couple of days back, so now everything’s alright. Haha.

What have I been up to lately? Hmm let’s see. I wrote a couple of songs. There’s so many crazy, horrible things that’ve happened and those provoked me to write again. But hmm, I HAVE to work on those. I just need to save a bit more so I could buy a Macbook and create my songs.

What else, what else. Life has been good in general. I bought a ticket to “Eraserheads Live! The Final Set” so yeah I’m really happy about that.

And… I was watching American Idol last night. Here are my two bets:

Adam Lambert

Danny Gokey

‘Cause, you know. DAMN. I don’t even care much for group three. These two are sorta reminding me of David Cook and David Archuleta from last year. You know, one rocker who knows what he’s doing, and one “small town”-ish guy who just has raw talent. I’m betting these two meet at the finals.

Of course, I still love guys like Anoop Desai (aka Anoop Dogg), Megan Corkrey, and Jackie Tohn. I hope to see them get saved at the wild card round. They’re really good.

10 Things I Am Thankful For
(I got tagged by Queennie)

People often complain of what is not present. We often dwell on things we don’t have. Well, for a change I hope we can (even for a while) think of the great things we have. Hope you would share your thoughts too guys…

1. I am thankful for each day I’m alive. Especially back when I got REALLY sick on New Year’s Day this year… Back then, I really thought I might die. So yeah, I’m thankful I’m still alive.

2. I am thankful for being blessed with a beautiful family. They’re beautiful inside and out. They’re amazing and I love them so much.

3. I am also thankful for my true friends. They’ve been with me through thick and thin–through my bad days and not just my good ones. They support me, they understand me, and they make me happy. I hope I do the same for them

4. I am thankful for my two best friends, especially my first real best friend. Not that the second is less appreciated or anything… ;p I used to say I don’t like the term best friend but there really is one or two people you can’t help but be honest with and share everything with.

5. I am thankful for my health! I may be skinny-looking but I tell ya, I’m healthy! Thanks to being brought up by my family as a healthy eater. I love veggies, I love fruits, juices, cheeses, and meats/fowls that aren’t greasy. But I do love eating a couple of sweets here and then. But hey, it’s all in moderation

6. I am thankful for Herbalife! Seriously. It saved my family, both financially and health-wise. Thanks to their products, we are living healthier, no stress, we’re much happier, not much tension anymore, no more worries, and we know that Herbalife can not only give us health but also wealth!

7. I am thankful for my imperfections. I believe those make me who I am. “Unique just like everyone else” is quite paradoxical–nobody is ever the same. I learned never to be jealous, because I know that God made me this way and has given me the blessings I deserve and experiences I need to learn.

8. I am thankful for my job. It’s a good one, the pay is alright, and the workload isn’t always that bad. I’m quite enjoying myself and I’m getting the hang of it. The people aren’t so bad either… I’m quiet around them because, well, I’m still trying to get used to them (even if I’ve been here for about 8 months now).

9. I’m thankful for my God-given talents. I don’t have to enumerate what they are, but I’m thankful I can do those things that other people would kill to just be able to do for a day. I may sometimes feel the same way about others’ talents, but that’s what makes all of us special anyway

10. I am thankful for finishing my education. Not everybody gets this privilege, especially because education costs a lot of money. I’m glad I did well and graduated on time despite the fact that I didn’t really try so hard. I know I could’ve done better during the latter part (esp. in high school and some parts of college), but I did enjoy (most of) my years as a student. I earned friends and experiences along the way as well!

So what are YOU thankful for?

What’s your fave memory w/ me? :)

Got this from Stef

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Leave a comment on here, not on my guestbook. Next, re-post this in your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

kids these days…

// February 17th, 2009 // 25 Comments » // Life, Work

I was at work and my officemate told me about this strange little story. Take a good look at this photo and think really hard what the relationships between these three are:

Alfie, Chantelle & baby Maisie - photo by Lee Thompson

If you guessed a brother & sister celebrating the birth of a new sibling, you’re WRONG.

If you guessed “proud parents & their newborn child” …Well, you’re not just CORRECT. You’re bordering on bizarre. First time I saw this photo I really couldn’t believe my eyes. Alfie, the 13-year-old father (who looks 10, by the way), is only about 4 feet tall. He wouldn’t pass for a dad. But… well… he is.

Read more about it here.

Kids these days…

18 weird/random facts

// January 7th, 2009 // 8 Comments » // Memes/Surveys

By now you all should know how to play: Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a note with 18 weird/random facts about you. At the end you choose 18 people to tag. List their names and the reason why you’re tagging them.

1. It’s my birthday tomorrow. HAHA! Where’s my gift, eh?

2. My given name is Imelda Luzviminda.

3. I’m ambidextrous… Last time I checked. HAHA!

4. I bowl left-handed.

5. I live in an organized mess. Everything seems messy to the naked eye, but I’m obsessive-compulsive that way. Weird.

6. I like to eat Oreos and Cream-Os with peanut butter. I got that from Lindsay Lohan’s version of The Parent Trap.

7. People keep telling me I look like Avril Lavigne and Heart Evangelista. I  DON’T SEE IT.

8. My favorite color is red, but I’m not obsessed with it.

9. Most of my best friends have either moved away or fled the country entirely. Lol. That was an exaggeration. They just move away because their families migrate. Only one best friend is still around and he’s not even an official best friend of mine.

10. My last two best friends are guys.

11. I’m a self-taught computer/internet “whiz” – my dad calls me a scientist and people at home always ask me for help whenever their computers, mobile phones and other electronic gadgets start acting funny.

12. I majored in Journalism when I was in college, but I originally wanted to be in the UST Conservatory of Music.

13. I can “tune out” noise using my mind. In the noisiest of places, or in front of a talkative person, I space out and not hear anything. But I do NOT have a short attention span.

14. I used to twirl batons when I was younger. That’s probably why stuff like zips and arnis are easy for me to take on.

15. I can put my hands in a praying position behind my back. Apparently that’s not normal. Lol.

16. I want a Macbook. NOW.  Yay.

17. I would love to meet Jason Mraz, David Cook and John Mayer because I think they’re musical geniuses. So are Hayley Williams, Josh Farro, Amy Lee and Robert Pattinson.

18.I haven’t been completely starstruck with anybody. YET.

I’m tagging: Ate Doreen | Vanessa | Stef | Charlie | Leslie P. | Ate Paz | Mayelle | Sarah | Leslie C. | Gwynne | Arene | Shiela | Chuchie | Alyssa | Clare | Nikki | Jet | Athina

keywords

// December 17th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Computer, FEU, UST

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.
