Kailan kaya mae-extinct ang lamok in the wild? Di naman pwedeng in captivity kasi sino namang magkaka-interest na mag-alaga ng lamok? Domesticated na ang lamok, feel at home pero wild pa rin sa pagfe-feeding frenzy sa akin. May dadaan sa harap ko, po-pompyangin ko, di ko naman nahuhuli. Sarap kaskasin ng balat ko. Hindi na nga ako maputi't makinis, ang dami pang pantal. Fotchang mga lamok yan, di pa mangamatay na lahat. Kailan ko kaya magigisnan ang isang mosquito-free world? Masyado bang utopian? Yung araw na di mo na kailangan gumamit ng Off Lotion sa loob ng bahay dahil gamit ko yun for outdoor activites at dahil ayoko ng feeling ng naglo-lotion? Di ko pa rin maunawaan ang kahalagahan ng eksistensya ng mga lamok sa mundo. Ayokong intindihin.
Anyway, ito na. March 14th 2008...
It was hard getting up at 11am when you've stayed up till 5am in the morning. I had to go to school for a few more stuffs before the concert [and that resolution still stuck in my head]. Got to school at exactly 1pm. Had a little chat with Lester who sat there at Rotonda before going to the office. There were only a few people when I got there but we had the meeting anyway. It was a memorable session. Kinda sentimental, maybe because it's the end of the school year and some of us are already going their way to a bigger, brighter world outside school. Nothing much, just updates and progress of pending projects then sharing of memorable experiences in the pub, and then there. Later I found out that the Yearend Workshop will be postponed to a later date, giving me a chance to join them one last time. Hehehe Ayos. You have no idea how hard I've been praying for that. Hahahaha. I think they are still discussing where they want to hold the event. After the meeting, I stayed to hang our and discuss with them for a while and then went to meet with friends after and then went to the concert venue together. Ate Choy and some familiar faces were there too but hardly any seniors. Hehehe, they missed a lot!
You could tell me my work isn't nice and I wouldn't mind, but you didn't have to say I rushed it because I worked till morning on them for a few days. Just so you know, I don't need apologies, just telling you what i felt about what you said. Yun lang. Peace!
Anyway, so yeah. There I was sitting on the big red carpet laid on the floor below the stage where my Lourd will soon stand to share his craft. Waaah! Excited na ko. There we're peformances from talents within the school, raffles in between performances. I was there, sitting prettily on the floor. I screamed with Mannequin. Hahaha. Robert's performance always makes me wanna scream along with them. Hahaha. Ayos. There was this guy who would look at me smiling whenver I growled and scream with Mannequin. Mukha siguro kasi akong tanga. Hahaha. First up, Chilitees. I have heard of the name but it was my first time hearing and seeing them perform. It was pure chillout music. I was grooving and shaking and I was just sitting. Their performance was school. I remember that girl on stage. Saw her at the restroom earlier. She was doing her make up together with other girls and I remember just smiling at them. By the way, Alain, and Paul [who likes Chilitees] was there too, making fun of the performers and the audiences [who were dry as my skin during the performances prior to that of Sir Noel and RASP. Then Sir Noel Cabangon was next. As I've described him in one of my posts, his voice is cool-yet-so-warm. He sang every song heartily esp. that one song I was dying to hear. Told myself, " Just sing Kanlungan and I can die today." This was what I told my friend [oh, and he replied, adik ka hahaha] while we watched Sir Noel Cabangon's hearty performance. Then he strummed the guitar, and I went oh my gahawd. I was so happy, and touched that my heart sang with me. I so love that song. It brings back childhood memories, memories of love, my friends, my life, my dreams, my heartaches, my sentiments... Basta. That's how meaningful that song is to me. Well, not just me, I heard others talking about the song too, graduation song daw nila. Hehehe. Anyway, this is my favorite performance last night. And seriously, if I died after the concert, I would die happy.
A few more songs and there came the most awaited part of the night...
There I was, sitting at the frontmost part of the audience area. I could see RASP setting up as Sir Noel was speaking before his last song. Lourd-sama would peep out from the dressing room every now and then. And I am psyched everytime I see him. Then they were ready and they came out. Whoa. Everyone went up front to get a good look at RASP, and take good pictures and videos, like myself. Then the party started. Ayos sa trip ang cellphone ko. Kung kailan lumabas ang RASP saka nag-empty battery. Good thing, Ate Choy has her phone and took videos with it and has a digicam. We decided to raid the dressing room after their performance. Panic. I had to look for something, anything in my bag for my Lourd to sign his autograph on. Then I saw my planner and scribbled on the March 14 cell: I met my Lourd again.
We were screaming and chanting with RASP. The Lourd I saw onstage was different from the Palad seminar. He gave off that charismatic, rebellious aura that makes you want to kneel down and worship him. It's not just enough to say that he rocked La Salle, it's better said as HE RULED LA SALLE. There I was, awestruck and starstruck all over again. Something about him, his talent, his angst, his beliefs, his advocacy, his personality makes him look so sexy. Waaah~ I remember staring at that mole on the right side of his nose. Hehe wala lang. And, oh, I love his beard and his goatee. He's so cool, nakaka-adik. Hahaha. To tell the truth, I'm not really a fan of RASP and I've never heard the name Lourd de Veyra before. I just know them collectively as Radioactive Sago Project but have never known the faces behind the music but meeting him at Palad, learning from him, he's now one of the very few people that I look up to. For some reason unfathomable, unreasonable and inexplicable by science, I am obsessing on my Lourd. Hahaha. Kept staring at the new autograph he signed for me. Ahaha. It says, in response to I met my Lourd again, Oh Yeah! Lourd plus his trademark smiley and some lines to some of the vacant calendar cells. Waaah! He's all I could speak of right now. Oh my Lourd, oh my Lourd~
Funny: I told my friend that Lourd and the guitarist looked a like, he said, they are brothers. Only got to confirm this when he introduced his bandmates and found out the guitarists name is Francis. Yeah. Also met him backstage and was to nice to allow me to take pictures with him. Awww...
So we raided the dressing room after the show took pictures withthe band and with my Lourd and Ate Gang. Chilitees already left so never mind, but, oh... I don't remember seeing Sir Noel there *sigh* I believe I have a lot of pictures because we borrowed ate Choy's digicam and then asked Kuya Dustin to take our pictures. I'm still waiting for them to post the pictures so you won't see any of it till then. Ahahaha. I was bouncy and giddy, because I was all excited and starstruck and to think that I don't even know them. Hahaha. Had this little talk with Ate Gand and invited us to the creative writing workshop she will conduct in prison every Wednesday this summer with inmates. And I am pretty excited because, if ever, it will be the first time that I will visit a prison and I love attending writing workshops, oh, and RockEd people are so cool.
It was already 11pm when we got out of the dressing room and went our way home. I had fun with friends. We were joking and teasing about what we would miss when it's time to [some are graduating, some are going away somewhere]. It was fun but kind of sad. This day was full of goodbyes. At some point, I felt like I have to say goodbye soon too. I know I have to, too, one day. We all have to move on from one phase of our life to another. At the end of every road, there's always a turning point. We all have to leave what we have now to become something else. We can only delay but can never avoid that time when we have to go, so we could grow, and to do that we have to, for the mean time, say goodbye.
Aww, senti... Pero I still have a few months, and making the most of the very little time I have left is one of those things that I do best. So, people...
WHEN'S OUR NEXT ADVENTURE? Hehehehe
