Nilakad ko mula Pipeline papuntang bahay! Haha. Walang biro. Iniwan ako nila Lucian eh. Eh pera ko pinang-gas na ng kotse na dala n'ya. Wala akong pamasahe! Kaya nagsimula na ako maglakad.

Try to imagine that.

5:00am - Pipeline
5:10am - Sandigan Bayan
5:30am - Litex
6:00am - Fairview Center Mall
6:15am - North Fairview Subdivision
6:20am - Neopolitan
6:50am - SM Fairview
7:00am - Diamond Village
7:10am - North Olympus
7:15am - Bahay

Mime is money.

New Saosin single entitled "SHh".

The drums are amazing. Can't wait 'til the new album drops.
SAOCORE!

Don't let them know
You're watching the situation crumble
(Situation crumble)
These things, they take time and they know
Yes they know they should be better now

She's watching me
Awkwardly from a distance

Is there something more I should have known
I never had wondered

They took his crown
There's nothing more left of him now
(And he will be okay)
I appreciate now that they choose to ignore
I can set her free to go without a payment

She's watching me
Awkwardly from a distance

Is there something more i should have known
I know that i wonder

Will she go or follow
Follow, please follow me home
Follow, please follow me home

This won't end like last time
The things you swore
They never made me feel anymore

Love Song by 311

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Writing on the walls.

"I'll be falling down with you.
Are you aware that I'm falling faster?"

Her presence brings a different kind of feeling. A feeling I can't understand. And this feeling drives me to do things. Things myself find it really hard to explain. I feel so confused right now. I'm hopelessly believing that there must be more to it. More than just making writings of her name on the walls of my mind while the sun sleeps.

It all begins here.
The start of classes. A new beginning for all of us...

Na-miss ko blockmates ko. Kahit 'yung iba 'di ko masyado nakakausap. Okay lang. Na-miss ko pa rin sila. Good news din, si Paul 'di natuloy paglipat n'ya sa Commerce! Haha. 'Di na rin kami ganun ka-addicted sa DotA. Seryoso na sa college life.

Kanina lang, na-meet ko 'yung mga bagong blockmates ko. Haha. Failed kasi History Of Design ko. Kaya kasabay ko mga first-year students. Haha. Okay din block nila. It reminded me of us when we were in that kind of situation nung bago palang kami sa UST. 'Yung tipong may dala-dala pa kaming registration form. Naka-civilian pa kasi laging out of stock 'yung uniform. Kasama ko pala si Egoy, Geim, Jeng, Julius at Oyo sa subject na 'to.

Na-LSS pa kami ni Kevin sa The Adventure by Angels And Airwaves. Sabay pa kaming kakanta ng same verse at the same time ng 'di sinasadya haha. " I cannot live, I can't breathe..." 'Di ko alam kung bakit o kung anong reason. Sabi ni Kevin, gusto daw ni Tom (vocalist) na mag-create ng songs na 'yung tipong pinapakinggan mo lang sa room mo magisa. Para siguro mag-relax or kahit ano. Labo ko talaga mag-explain.

Angels And Airwaves - The Adventure
Try mo lang i-download or you can buy their new album entitled We Don't Need To Whisper. I'm sure you won't regret it.

Believe the hype.

LeBron James

LeBron Raymone James, (born December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio) commonly nicknamed King James or The Chosen One, is an American All-Star NBA player for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Beginning in his junior year of high school, James was highly promoted by the national media in the United States as a future NBA star. He was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, directly out of high school at the age of 18. In just three years, James has finished second in Most Valuable Player voting and has led the Cavaliers to the second round of the NBA Playoffs, as he is now widely considered as one of the most gifted and versatile players as well as serving as one of the more prominent figures in the league.

Early life
LeBron James was born an only child in a low-income area of Akron, Ohio to the unwed Gloria James on December 30, 1984. His mother was only 16 at the time. Due to his family's humble circumstances, James, being raised solely by his mother. Things began to look up for him when his mother began seeing a man by the name of Eddie Jackson. James was young enough at the time to have him serve as a father figure. James had made it clear he was planning to pursue an NBA career following his graduation.

High school
Freshmen year
James attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron. He was the starting point guard on a team led by James' future best friend and manager Maverick Carter. With James at the point and the primacy of Carter, the team cruised to a perfect 27-0 record and won the Division III state championship. James averaged 18.2 points and 6 rebounds per game.

Sophomore year
James took over the helm of the team after Carter's graduation and averaged 27.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and four steals for SVSM en route to another state title. He was subsequently named Ohio's "Mr. Basketball"and selected to the USA Today All-USA First Team — the first sophomore to be so honored.

Junior year
In James' third year of high school his stats improved even further. He averaged 29.7 points and 8.4 rebounds, and was once again named Mr. Basketball Ohio. In addition, he again found a spot on the All-USA First Team, and was named the 2001-02 GatoradeNational Boys Basketball Player of the Year. It was then that his nickname "King" James would become a household staple in Ohio. However, the St. Vincent-St. Mary basketball team failed to defend its state title when it moved up to the more challenging Division II and lost to Cincinnati's Roger Bacon High School.

Senior year
The Irish won a third state title, and James, for an unprecedented third time, was named Mr. Basketball Ohio and to the All-USA First Team. He earned MVP honors at the McDonald's All-American Game, the EA Sports Roundball Classic, and the Jordan Capital Classic. Although it was a foregone conclusion, by participating in more than two high school all-star events, LeBron legally lost his NCAA eligibility.

NBA career
2003-04 season
In what was one of the most anticipated NBA drafts in recent memory, James was the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Because of immense public interest in LeBron, he became an instant celebrity. Even before James played a single NBA game, he was awarded an unprecedented $90 million shoe contract by Nike.

Despite the surmounting hype which surrounded him, James did not disappoint, netting 25 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and four steals on 12-of-20 shooting in his first regular season NBA game against the Sacramento Kings. He went on to win Rookie of the Year honors. He finished his rookie season with 20.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game, joining Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan as the only three players to average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in a rookie season. The Cavaliers improved by 18 wins in his first season, but failed to make the playoffs.

2004-05 season
In the offseason, James played for Team USA in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece where he and his teammates won the bronze medal in men's basketball, the first time an American Olympic team using NBA players failed to win the gold medal.

James joined a select group of players to average over 25 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in a season. Again, the Cavaliers failed to reach the playoffs (this time by only one game).

2005-06 season
The Cavaliers made several off-season moves in the summer of 2005, adding Larry Hughes (from the Washington Wizards), Damon Jones (from the Miami Heat) and Donyell Marshall (from the Toronto Raptors). The Cavs' front office underwent substantial management changes at this time as well. Long-time owner Gordon Gund sold the franchise to Dan Gilbert, who subsequently replaced General Manager Jim Paxson with former Cavs player Danny Ferry, and brought in Mike Brown as the new head coach.

At the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, James led the Eastern Conference team to victory with a 29-point, six-rebound performance. He was awarded the game's MVP, becoming the youngest player to do so.

James finished the season with 31.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game, joining Oscar Robertson, Jerry Westand Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to average at least 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in a single season. James also became the youngest player in NBA history to average at least 30 points per game in a season.

Playoffs 2005-06
On March 29, 2006, the Cavaliers clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 1998. In just three years, James had transformed the Cavaliers from a lottery team (17-65 the season before he arrived) into a playoff contender, ending the 2005-2006 season with a 50-32 record, 4th in the Eastern Conference.

On April 22 James made his playoff debut against the Washington Wizards and recorded a triple-double, with 32 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds in the Game 1 victory. He became the third player in NBA history to register a triple-double in his playoff debut, joining Johnny McCarthy (1960) and Magic Johnson (1980). On April 28 in Game 3, he became the first player to score over 40 points in his first playoff road game, with 41 in a win over the Wizards. The Cavaliers won the series 4 games to 2, and James tallied the third highest scoring average for a player's first playoff series (35.7 ppg), behind Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

James led the Cavaliers to a 3-2 series lead over the defending Eastern Conference champion and divisional rival Detroit Pistons. The Pistons, however, eliminated the Cavs by winning the final two games.

NBA milestones
James owns numerous NBA "youngest player" records:

Youngest player in NBA history and the first Cavalier to be named NBA Rookie of the Year, at 19 years of age.
Youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double in his career (20 years, 20 days), with 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists on January 19, 2005 vs. the Portland Trail Blazers.

This is the latest music video from Saosin.

Bury Your Head music video

Bury your head
Bury your head

I was feeling fine, you'll be coming clean tonight
And I'll be falling down with you once again
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight
And I haven't said it's okay

The things you said, I'm rehearsing them
The things you said, I'm rehearsing them

They went back on us
(Until his eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know when to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love the ion vein

Bury your head, and the child smashed you down
And the psalms will soon recall me again
Fall down below
I'll sleep tonight when you're okay
And I haven't said it's okay

They have been the ones who've seen enough
This is what you call love?

They stole my lies
Sold right and all
They wandered around and round my mouth
They stole my lie
Sold right and all
(Stole it all, stole it all)
They have been the ones who've seen enough

Keep your heart small.

Seven Years by Saosin
I wanna share it with any of you reading this. Try mo lang i-download. First time ko marinig 'to sa mp3 player ni Lucian nung kaka-start pa lang nung first sem last year. Nasa FX pa 'ko nun! Haay... simula nun na-addict na 'ko sa Saosin. They have recently signed to Capitol Records. 'Yung album nila i-rerelease this year.

Here is a quote from former singer Anthony:
"It’s pronounced SAY-OCEAN. And it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means 'small heart'. Fathers used to marry off their youngest sons for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well. I found it in the 8th grade and loved it, I used to name all my old bands that and write songs about it."

Listen to my story. This may be our last chance.

2006-06-02T23:55:00.000-07:00

Yunalesca: Have you chosen the one to become your fayth?
Who will it be?

Yuna: Might I ask something first?
Will Sin come back even should I use the Final Summoning to defeat it?

Yunalesca: Sin is eternal.
Every aeon that defeats it becomes Sin it its place...
And thus is Sin reborn.

Tidus: So that's why Jecht became Sin.

Yunalesca: Sin is an inevitable part of Spira's destiny.
It is neverending.

Wakka: Neverending?
But...but...if we atone for our crimes, Sin will stop coming back, ya?
Someday, it'll be gone, ya?

Yunalesca: Will humanity ever attain such purity?

Lulu: This...this cannot be!
The teachings state that we can exorcise Sin with complete atonement!
It's been our only hope all these years!

Yunalesca: Hope is...comforting.
It allows us to accept fate, however tragic it might be.

Tidus: No!

Auron: Where is the sense in all this?
Braska believed in Yevon's teachings and died for them!
Jecht believed in Braska and gave his life for him!

Yunalesca: They chose to die... because they had hope.
Yevon's teachings and the Final Summoning give the people of Spira hope.
Without hope, they would drown in their sorrow.
Now, choose. Who will be your fayth?
Who will be the one to renew Spira's hope?

Yuna: No one.
I would have gladly died.
I live for the people of Spira, and would have gladly died for them.
But no more! The Final Summoning...
is a false tradition that should be thrown away.

Yunalesca: No. It is our only hope.
Your father sacrificed himself to give that hope to the people.
So they would forget sorrow.

Yuna: Wrong.
My father... My father wanted...
to make Spira's sorrow go away.
Not just cover it up with lies!

Yunalesca: Sorrow cannot be abolished. It is meaningless to try.

Yuna: My father... I loved him.
So I...
I will live with my sorrow, I will live my own life!
I will defeat sorrow, in his place.
I will stand my ground and be strong.
I don't know when it'll be but someday, I will conquer it.
And I will do it without...false hope.

Yunalesca: Poor creature.
You would throw away hope.
Well...
I will free you before you can drown in your sorrow.
It is better for you to die in hope than to live in desapair.
Let me be your liberator.

Auron: Now! This is it!
Now is the time to choose!
Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow!
Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

Kimahri: Yuna needs Kimahri. Kimahri protect Yuna.

Rikku: Well, I'm fighting!

Wakka: I can't believe we're gonna fight Lady Yunalesca! Gimme a break!

Lulu: You can always run.

Wakka: Hah!
I'd never forgive myself--no way! Not if I ran away now.
Even in death, ya!

Lulu: My thoughts exactly.

Tidus: Yuna!
This is our story! Now let's see this thing through together!
