Have I seriously gone that long without posting anything up here?

Guess I did. No matter, I'm back, and alive. Partially.

So. Lots has happened in the last two months. I would have a much more detailed explanation, but that's what procrastination does to you. Let's keep this short.

Political business. I volunteered to be the campaign manager for Jesus' League at the school elections a few weeks back. Logo designing, poster making, slogans, staying up late. It was awesome. Too bad I didn't make it to the meeting at Camille's house. Mother insisted it was too far away, and there was no way I could get there, considering I'm not allowed to commute by myself, and we've no car.

Instead, Mom and I stayed home that Wednesday. We had lunch and coffee in front of the TV while we watched the presidential inauguration. I was happy to have watched a moment that will go down in history. I hope that the administration brings a real change to the country. We've had enough of living this way. If everyone would just cooperate together and stop thinking about themselves so much, the Philippines would truly rise up as a nation and become prosperous, as it once was.

What's with my writing style today, though? I've never been so... dead.

Yet I don't really want to go back to my usual way of posting. Time for a change, maybe.

I was given multiple opportunities to go music tripping these past few weeks. Very pleased with the results. I'll be adding a few new bands to my listening list, among which are Anberlin, The Starting Line, and A Rocket to the Moon.

And I've found a lot of new good songs from my other favorite artists. Yay~

Piano playing has gone well. I've progressed, after a few months of being at a complete standstill. Which is a relief, considering that piano is one of my greatest passions in life. I've been immersing myself in video game instrumentals, and I found a very good piano arrangement for one of my favorite Xenogears songs. Truth be told, I found this several months ago, and I've listened to it an incredible amount of times already. I was listening to it on my iPod during the bus ride home last Friday, and I fell in love with it. Again. Lol, I don't know anymore. Just listen.



Close your eyes. It sounds impossible to play with two hands, almost. I would love to be able to play this one day. I've got to keep practicing.

BUT BAHAHAHAHAAAAA I FOUND THE SHEET MUSIC. 8DDDDDDDDD

*regains composure*

In other news, the elocution contest is coming up preeeetty soon, and the senior girls were made to memorize Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride." It's probably the longest thing I've ever had to memorize, but I love the poem itself. It's beautifully written, and fun to recite, though some phrases can be tough to pronounce well. I was able to memorize all of it already. I just need to "befriend" the piece (as my sister said) and to get my actions and acting skills ready. Woohoo. Wish me luck.

The National Student Convention practices are in full-swing now, and I still don't know if I'm going or not. I'm still praying about it, but to be honest, part of me doesn't want to go. I don't know... I guess I feel like I'm never given a chance to prove myself. I'm well aware that I'm not too active in Convention matters because of my graduation requirements, but that doesn't stop other people from joining in... and I guess it's mostly how my other talents go unnoticed. Especially singing. I know that I'm not an incredible singer, but I can sing pretty well. Singing was my first real passion, and for it to be completely discarded over and over hurts me. I don't want to be stuck in the middle ground anymore. I want to break free from my mediocrity. That's why I want to be trained. Doesn't anyone see that anymore? I don't want anyone to think that I'm sour-graping, because I'm not. It's not bitterness either. It's frustration. I don't know over what exactly, but I'm incredibly frustrated. Maybe it's with the people around me, or the way things are happening, but mostly I think I'm frustrated with myself. I honestly WANT to improve. Whether in singing, or writing, or drawing, or playing my instruments, or anything else. But nobody really cares anymore, yeah? I didn't think so.

I needed to get that out of my system, and it pains me to think that I haven't even released half of whatever I'm feeling right now. I've got to restrain myself. People might think the wrong thing of me if I continue with my ranting.

So, good night.

Welcome~

I've had Free Hit Counter visitors since January 5, 2010.

Hello! You've made your way to http://for-a-million-reasons.blogspot.com, otherwise known as my little corner of the internet.

Don't forget to leave a comment on my tagboard! Thank you~ ♥

Kay, so this blog was set up for the purpose of expressing my thoughts and views about things to everyone. It also serves as my public online journal.

By the way, I can get pretty insane, so a lot of what I'll be posting won't make sense. If any of you die because of brain damage due to brain cells dying at a rapid pace, I am not liable at all. You've been warned.

But seriously, though. I'm not that bad. D: I'm just misunderstood.

The views expressed in this blog are a matter of opinion, and I don't give a sheep if you're offended by them in any way.

That's also unlikely to happen since you probably don't give a sheep about whatever I post here anyway, lul.

Also, the layout I'm using at present is not mine, though I've altered the codes. Not by much, though? xD Yeah, yeah.
Have fun. :]


Ask me anything. (:


Uh. Tweet?
