concerts season

By: cherry

02-05-2012

It’s concert season. Lady Gaga, Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block, and just recently Vertical Horizon and Sergio Mendes. Isn’t it amazing that these foreign artists now choose to include Manila in their concert tours?!! Whereas in the olden days (my time), we rarely had concerts to watch. But look at the concert scene now, it’s stuffed “cover to cover” with big name artists. Although this is good but it overlooks one possibility – concert fanatics would be broke faster than one can imagine. With these back to back concerts (sometimes only a week apart), one doesn’t get the chance to breathe or in the case of money, time to save. Tickets are ridiculously expensive with general admission ticket (a mile away from the concert stage) costing around $25 to 30 bucks. It’s crazy. So I want to watch Back Street Boys but I’m having second thoughts now. One ticket can already buy air fare for one (regular fare) or two (seat sale) to Vietnam or Indonesia or even 1 or 2 pool heat pumps. But it’s Backstreet Boys and I love them. So do you get my dilemma?

Anyway, here’s a video of BSB’s most popular song.

For someone who hates the weekend traffic, you would never catch me on the road going somewhere south even if there’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to buy gold bullion at a cheap price. The traffic is just too much. I’d rather stay inside my room with the TV on, air-conditioning in full blast while I tap tap away the keyboard. That’s more fun, right? Well, not for my son though. He’d rather go out with the heat of the sun bearing down upon his neck than be caught dead inside the house with nothing to do. Kids or in this case, twenty-somethings. They feel they’re wasting their life away if for one second they find themselves with nothing — nothing to do, nothing to say, nothing to make. But I can’t blame him. I was that way too during my twenties. But the only difference is the traffic was not this bad.

What’s happening? Practically nothing. Ever since school let out, my daughter and I find ourselves doing nothing. We mostly stay indoors as it’s impossible to go out with this heat. I have to break this pattern. I feel that we’re wasting our vacation with nothing. Nothing can be more tragic than doing nothing. I’m so used to nothing that writing the word nothing comes so naturally.

I have to drive out this nothingness away from my body and start anew. Nothing, nothing, nothing. That’s it. That’s the last of it. And now that I’m acutely aware of it, I’ll start doing something. Now that’s turning nothing into something. The problem is what would it be? I’ll let you know as soon as something good or at least something hits me. I just hope it’s soon enough.

are you a bully?

I wanted to write something witty and light but I can’t think of anything right now. It somehow defeats the purpose when you’re already thinking so hard and deliberate. So let’s just focus on the subject of cyber bullying. What is it, anyway? I think bullying of any kind is bad whether you’re thick or onion-skinned or whether or not you wear one of those sparx motorcycle Helmets to protect your head. I encounter this almost daily on forums and Facebook. People post and exchange ill comments on their Facebook walls. Why not just confront the person?!!! And I know a lot of people who resort to posting statuses directed to a particular person or group. Well, guilty. I sometimes do that. Bad me. Anyway, what’s your take on this? Like I wrote in one of my previous posts, I don’t join in and comment and here’s why.

tell me why series, update

Hellish week this week. I’m just saying. This blog is my salvation. I feel no one reads this. Compared to my other blogs, this has the least subscribers. And even if my subscribers get my feeds in their mailbox, I doubt if they’d even click and open it. So here I can write anything. As in anything that pisses me off or anything that makes me happy.

Let’s start with things that get on my nerves. Because without fail, that makes me write non-stop.

Anyway, I thought S has changed but your guess is as good as mine. She hasn’t. It may take years for S to even scratch the thing of change. It has become second nature for S to flirt with the opposite sex and vise versa. But I hope S uses that to his/her advantage.

I recently spoke to a friend who I’ve been avoiding since last year. Why? I ‘ve decided to keep just a few, that’s why. A few real friends. With the rate my life is going, I can’t afford to have people who are just there for the heck of it. And T is one of them. Yeah she’s friends with me but I doubt if T would still be there in time of need. Good thing I haven’t had the chance to go there yet because I’m pretty sure it’d be a huge disappointment. And I don’t want to disappoint myself. And T wants to have a get-together. So good luck with that. I may have to come up with fresh excuses not to go. Help me.

Online. I feel people envy me for the life I have. But I would go into that when I already have solid proof. Right now, I just feel that way. If only they knew how much of a fun and generous friend I could be. Instead, they cast me out. Not really cast out but I feel the reluctance. Do you know what I mean? I bet you don’t.

Anyway, I have to start my day first with coffee. For the good news, I’ll tell you tomorrow. Whoever YOU are.

Truth be told, I love wearing my son’s flannel shirts more than my own clothes. They’re comfy enough to wear just about anywhere. Anywhere meaning the grocery, my kid’s school, drugstore, the mall and to Sunday breakfast at Pancake House. This is just one thing you probably don’t know about me among many others that I won’t even dare write about here. Ok, just one more as I recently acquired this blogger syndrome of talking about things that don’t interest anyone but you. So here goes…I love Survivor and I’m hoping Arnold wings the 3 million. I think he deserves it more than anyone in the group.

So there.

personal, tell me why series

My mind is kinda blank right now. Actually, it’s not blank. It’s more like all over the place. So don’t wonder if you read about the weather here and next thing you read about is PS3 Move.

I’ve been sitting here with my laptop on my lap of course and I can’t focus on anything. I stared at the screen for a solid 15 minutes and nothing came to my mind except that I should just type anything. So here I am, still typing away.

And here goes more:

I thought January is supposed to be colder compared to summer months but it feels like summer now. I just wanna head down to the beach and strip.
I need to finish 5 articles within the week and they’re not just free-form writing, they require a bit of research. So, good luck articles! I can’t even finish this post without my mind going back to number 1.
I love fresh lumpia. I’ve been eating it for the past three days. But the restaurant I get those is closed on weekends. And I can’t chop vegetables without me going back to numbers 1 and 2. I just don’t have the time.

Ok, I’ll have to end this now before I really go back to number 1.

emotions, tell me why series

I find it funny that in forums, gossip posts get the most comments. Why? I read those posts but I never comment. Why again? Because I’m not any better than those people they gossip about. Which brings me to another why…why do those people comment and say so much? Why do they have these opinions? And mind you, their comments make you think that they live clean and holy lives. Why are we so quick to judge? I have a ton of skeletons in my closet. That’s why I don’t comment or say anything. And judging by their comments and often, unsavory opinions, they probably don’t have one teeny bone hidden in their closets.

I envy them. They have nothing to hide. ;-)
