The Take Over, The Break's Over

FALL OUT BOY IS BACK.

My roommates are probably tired of me playing and talking non-stop about Fall Out Boy's comeback since they released 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)' last night and they'll probably want to strangle me once they get back from class and realize that I'm still blasting the goddamn song. Haha.

Of course, it's only fitting that their song title is a meter long but I don't care, they're Fall Out Boy. They get to do that. I think the first thing I ever heard from them was 'Saturday' and I fell in love with Patrick's amusing voice. It was summer probably around year 2004 and I was bored out of my mind just flipping around myspace and I came around Fall Out Boy's page and listened to them. After that, I was practically sticking their faces on my notebooks and printing random pictures to post on my wall. I was a kid, so stop judging. :P

I listened to other bands before them but I just feel like, 'ok, I know this song from you, that's enough'. With Fall Out Boy, that wasn't enough. I guess that's where my fangirl nature developed. But not a lot of people knew about them at that time in my place. Most of my friends would like mellow and rnb-ish songs and here I am listening to a band louder than Christmas carolers. I listened to them in the comforts of my room--very pseudo-emo-freak--and I remember begging my mom to let me use her credit card so I can buy their official merchandise and to be a part of their fanclub. I'm such a kid.

After a while, I got over them and then it went back when they released their 'From Under The Cork Tree' album. Then their 'Sugar, We're Going Down' song went on to be a hit and everybody finally fucking knew them. I was so happy because finally people knew what I was talking about and what I was listening to. When 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me' (oh god I panted typing that) premiered worldwide, I remember screaming in front of my TV and Dad would scold me and tell me to be more "ladylike"... yeah look where that got me :))

The boys weren't like any other band formed to get every girls ovaries popping. Sure Pete was there but I adored Patrick. Most of the girls would go for Pete and Joe but Patrick was cute and chubby and I felt like I just want to hug him every time I see him. Cuddly guys are the best. But he looks smoking hot right now, I can't even handle it.

And last night, their 3 year hiatus is FINALLY FUCKING OVER. Sorry if I keep on cussing but I just really need to get my point out there: FALL OUT BOY IS BACK. There were rumors a week ago that they're gonna do their comeback performance at Skate and Surf but Joe denied it and my heart was crushed into a million pieces. But last night my twitter exploded and my inbox was full of "WHERE ARE YOU'S" and "DAMMIT WOMAN, FALL OUT BOY IS BACK!" and my FOB high is probably going to last for the whole week. My roommates will just have to live with it for now :)

In the end, I can finally say: I survived FOB's hiatus bitches!

Bucket List: White Cross Children's Home

My bucket list is probably as long as a river but it sure does keep me on my toes. I've been wanting--since forever!--to do something for a cause and I'm determined to do that this year; because according to my BDJ planner, "I should own this year". I don't know which page it's on, but I'm pretty sure it's written there somewhere or maybe I'm just imagining that it's written there.

Anyway, I just think that it's not a bad idea to break away from everything and pay it forward. We spend time with people dearest to us and have fun with them, but we seldom think of those who doesn't have anyone at all. It feels depressing. I haven't seen an orphanage; let alone experience one, but that's what I think when I hear it and that's just sad.

I read this blog where they spent a day with the kids at White Cross Children's Home and it just inspired me to do the same. I don't care if I have to play Gangnam Style (odg help me) to make them nauseatingly happy, I'll be fine with it.

Frankly though, I don't know how and where to start. I've tried contacting them but their line is always busy. Christmas would be the best time to do this right? I mean I've always spent Christmas with my family and relatives but it would be great to spend it with these kids too. I guess this isn't just charity for me. Everybody who really knows me would know why. It's not a secret but it's a very sacred thing for me. I'm an advocate for adoption and it would be like killing two birds with one stone on my bucket list if this pushes through.

I just hope that lots of people would help me on this :D

I'm babbling at 2pm and I still haven't eaten breakfast. Gotta go!

Temporary madness.

This is going to be very random because I'm feeling really crazy right now and it's killing me.

Because of my current madness, memorizing a few of Eminem's raps is now on my bucketlist. I've done Lose Yourself, so now I'm onto his rap in Love The Way You Lie with Rihanna. This is probably my weird way of coping up because frankly I just think I'm going mad. Anyway I think I'm 50% into memorizing the whole thing and I'm glad that I have something to cross off my bucket list.

And I said something about being excited for my photography class yesterday and I actually did enjoy it. We had the photoshoot in the Dark Room for our Light Painting concept. The photos are still not with me but I think I did really well considering it's the first time that I did that concept using the bulb and not the shutter settings. I've got to admit though, working with a gorgeous model is hard as f*ck. He's too handsome and too distracting--even if we're working with most of the lights off--it's hard to work with a straight mind. Sometimes I just wanted to tell him to sit down and just be gorgeous in one corner because it's hard to look at him in the camera without drooling. I've seriously got to do something on how to keep my flailing emotions in check whenever we have a model in our photoshoot. This is going to destroy me. And I swear if any of my classmates ever read my blog and find out my feels for the model, I'm going to die or combust into a million pieces of dust--or I'll just disappear.

Anyway, our homework for the week is continuing the Light Painting somewhere else. I'm thinking of doing it in the park and having many different colored lights so it gets crazier. The crazier it gets, the more I'll love doing it. That's probably gonna be my tramp-stamp on my works.

Oh gosh sometimes I make myself laugh...

Weather love.

I know it's probably raining somewhere in the country and I hope they're all safe where ever the rain is, but I just really have to say that I'm loving this weather so much! The Weather app on the iPhone says that the temperature today is probably gonna go lower as soon as it hits nighttime; which means it's going to get colder and it looks consistent throughout the week. I'm gonna have to wear hoodies/jackets all the time. Not bad at all!

Since the weather is like this, I'm blasting 2AM Club's album because it just fits the weather and my mood today. Good thing my roommates already left for their class this morning and wouldn't be back until 3 hours after. I should really do something important here but so far, because of this cuddly weather, I've only managed to fix beds, drink something warm and go back under my comforter and write this. I swear I feel lazy. I know, that's bad but my bed always feels so comfy and I feel like it's always calling for me. I'm screwed if this keeps up all throughout the term. Haha.

Oh and we moved to another condo! It's so much smaller but it fits me and my roommates perfectly or least that's what I think, so far. This one is near—so much nearer—to our school! Our friend and his sister also lives just a few floors beneath us so it gets pretty chaotic when he and our other friends come over. The bathroom has heater—which I think is God's gift to humanity, especially at a time when the weather is making me feel like I'm in a refrigerator. Now, I take ages to shower. Not like I shower in haste in the first place, but I think my shower time got dramatically longer.

I sleep in the lower bunk because I feel nauseous when I'm in the upper bunk so I got first dibs on the one below. And personally, I think I sleep like a stunt man. I go from one position to another like it's my job so I think it's also safer for everybody if I get the lower one. My corkboard's still bare because I havent printed anything yet to fill it and frankly I think it's going to drop on my head anytime while I'm sleeping—and I've got to stop watching too much Final Destination movies because I'm imagining some too gory scenes again—so I'm keeping that corkboard neat until it's ready to take the heat of my requirements ;)

Anyway this is getting too lengthy again, but I just gotta put it out here that I'm actually excited for my Photography class on Thursday because we're going to do some exciting shots. Maybe I'll write about them after. Oh, and Happy New Year! I'm 22 days late but what the heck.

Ciao!
