Past 3 Days
Battle of the bands was okay. A lot of talented bands performed. No comment on the winners, but they were both good (first place winners improved a lot over the past year). A lot of talented kids. There were still funny performances. OURS was a bit of a disaster. 12:51 kinda sucked badly. First time I'm playing lead and something goes wrong. (I know, it's such a bruise to my deflated morale.) But it can't be helped. Shit happens. I'm not blaming anybody already. (Actually, I never did. I just had to rant and rant like the biatch I am under certain circumstances.) We had a really short set but I guess that's fine. It just sucked because we didn't perform like how we do during practice. Some of us had secret jitters, I guess (including me). We are now about to reform the band, rename it, and change the genre to something more Strokes like or Lostprophets like. Hmm... I know it's crazy how this band thing got revived again. I guess I became better since I am no longer afraid of playing lead and I can do plucks after all. If only I devote much time to guitar. But meh.
The dudes who played Reptilia didn't do much justice to it. We sympathize with their drummer since he seemed intent on making their set really good but I guess their band just can't do it with the vocalist doing bass at the same time (some can do it, but some just can't). Kudos to the guitarist though who had to do lead and rhythm at the same time (since there were only 3 of them.) Didn't catch the name of the "intermission band" that performed, the one with the Adrien Brody-like guy for a lead guitarist. They play the kind of music you listen to while drinking cold coffee. (Cold coffee and lonely nights as Dixi put it. Just cold coffee, according to Ayisse.) Chubibo was there again by the way.
I know, I'm speaking in phrases and run ons and improper sentences.
Oh, and yeah... I got accepted into USC. W00t. I thought I wouldn't be. Heh. Still waiting for scholarship decisions though. Now that's a problem.

On another note, I am not going to the batch leadership training on monday. That'd eat up 2 nights and 2 days. I know I'm such an apathetic person. It's people like me who prevent the batch from truly "bonding" I guess. Haha But come on, the school year's about to end already. I can find better use of my time. (Which means, things that directly affects me or things that have greater impact.) I still don't know what to do though. I'm probably going to start my online portfolio already, pick up the cam and take photos, finish all the books I haven't yet, or start a script. Or I can go to LEADS (that's what the event's called) and write a script there with Dixi. I don't know though if she's still coming. It's on short notice (for us at least).

On a more recent thing: I just opened my hotmail inbox and found out my aunt sent a letter to Yale. What did she ask them? I have yet to find out. Hotmail is slooooow (in my comp at least). Gmail is truly faster.

Oh, and my scanner's alive again by the way,

And now that I read my aunt's message... She e-mailed Yale admissions under my name and asked if they're still accepting applications -_- Of course not but I appreciate her gesture. haha She's telling me to go with them (her, my sister and grandma) to US next month so I can check out USC. They're going to go on a long driving trip of the whole west coast... again.

And... yeah, so many "ands" hehe. Watched Constantine with Dixi. It's a good movie. It's more of a movie for skeptics than a movie for zealous believers though. The plot is great and it has this artsy element, maybe it's in the way some of the things are depicted - like the turning of water into wine, the different plagues, punishments, etc. Some said it's hard to understand but I pretty much understood it in one go. Probably helps having a friend to analyze with along the way (like Dixi hehe). (And Keanu Reeves is not gay after all. But he's 41. Haha Sorry for the rumor alert Dixi.)
