Whoa, I'm really glad to be blogging again. UP classes, while being fun and interesting, demand lots of my time and work. And what better way to unwind my full-to-brim brain than blogging.





So, here's a summary of what happened to me these past three weeks:


1. I've been formally studying in UPLB for the past three weeks already,





2. I've met new friends (Betong, Dane, Nikos, Butch, Ynic, Eira, Amiel, Kuya Teejay, Kuya Pepito, Lyka, Mariel, Kevin, Joseph, Kuya Dan, Allan, Christian, Jai, Mon, Divine, Pam, Keean (i don't know if that's really how you spell it), Anton, Marc, Aika, Elizelle- should I go on?),





3. I've been to new college classes (MATH 11, NASC 3 (my favourite one so far), HUM 2, PHLO 1, SOSC 1, DEVC10, PE1, LTS 1)



4. I've been living in a dorm in Los Baños for two weeks now.



5. I've seen Miley's "Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3D" without 3D glasses, and seen it in 2D about four times already.

6. I've developed a liking for Jason Mraz's songs.


Dang. I've had such a huge culture shock there. Everything about me really was shaken. My manners, my beliefs, my fandom (Eira is a Jonas fan, and I'm a Miley fan. Go figure), and my reality were tested on the cold, hard conditions of college.


And yet I can't expound on my ideas right now. It's so hard to let them all out. There's so many of them that the way out of my brain is jammed with them. Maybe listening to Miley's songs will loosen my noodle up...

Well, I'm real bored.

Do you know that I'm now in UP Los Banos? Yeah, but it's pretty boring, because I still hve no classes, and there's nothing to do in my dorm. So I decided to go to an Internet shop and blog.

I downloaded one of Miley's songs on my computer. It's titled "These Four Walls" and I really liked it. Try to hear it (yes, just hear, even though it's on Youtube) here in this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9bktMJR7rc

Here are the lyrics:

Yeah, it's a sad song. It's dripping with emotion. I can't help but sing along, because the feel is really contagious. It's a lamentation of a girl who was left by her boyfriend because she did something wrong. You can really imagine the pain of the girl. Miley's really revealed the extent of her voice, because I don't know any song of hers where she really belted out like that. Just hearing it makes me want to go to her.

It's amazing how Miley's songs move me. That's one of the reasons I love her. Oh no, I'm getting dramatic again...

I'd better stop now. I'll try to post on weekends, 'cause I'm poofed here in UP.

A stream of good things kept going on inside my mind. Here are the most significant:

1. I woke up this morning feeling very elated.

2. I did my chores while dancing to the tune of my sister's songs on her MP3.

3. I got inspired to make a song.

4. I thought of continuing to write my long-forgotten love story novel, The Reddest Rose (I said in one post long ago that I wasn't going to continue because of an emotionally lethal thing that happened to me. I'm still not revealing as to why).

5. I felt that I can do anything today.

6. I am just extremely, generally happy.

There's only one reason I could find. Tell me what it is when you hear the details why I felt like this.

REASONS

1. I woke up this morning feeling rather elated (a weirdness in itself, because I normally hate waking up in general) because I had a beautiful dream. I dreamt that Miley was telling me that she's going on a concert tour and has to leave me in California. Yes, it looks bad, but it got even worse when she continued that she's going on February 28, which is my birthday (she doesn't know it yet). Well, I was really sad until my birthday came, because I woke up (in the dream) to find Miley coming into my bedroom with a breakfast tray and singing "Happy Birthday". She then told me that I could come with her on her tour. We kissed before I woke up into reality. Yes, I know, I have an overly active imagination even in my sleep.

2. I did my chores while dancing because I just saw the M&M (MileZ and ManderZ) Cru's new dance battle video that they're putting up against the ACDC. They're AWESOME!!! To check out what I'm talking about, go to http://www.mmcru.com/ or http://www.youtube.com/user/mileymandy?ob=4.

3. I got inspired to compose a song because I've been singing "If We Were A Movie" (a Hanna Montana song) a lot, and I want to make a song as good as that one. "If we were a movie, you'd be the right girl, and I'll be your bestfriend that you'll fall in love with. In the end, we go laughing, watching the sunset. Things go black, show the names, play the happy song..." I'm also downloading Miley's new songs on her new album "Breakout" coming out on July 22.

4. I thought of continuing The Reddest Rose because I wanted my daydreams of Miley to be of some use. How can I brainstorm for a novel if all I could think about is Miley? Put her and all your ideas into a book, then! So, continued it I did.

5. I feel like I can do anything because I just listened to "Life's What You Make It" (another Hanna Montana song) 5 times.

6. I am generally happy because of, well, Miley! She's now my happy and good luck charm. Oh man, my love for her is doing wonders to my life. I can't wait for her to meet me.

..and to think that it's all because of Friday the 13th. It's superstition that this day is supposed to be the unluckiest day of the year, but to our family, it's our luckiest day! We earned money today (from recycling stuff), we had a good time, and Dad just put an Ares Ultra on the computer! Now I can download songs easily!

I can't remember another day when I've been smiling all the time!!!!

If only she knew and appreciated that she's changing my life gradually.... then my happiness would be complete.

So, I'm off to play Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3 on notdopppler.com. It's like Guitar Hero, but it's online.

"You know, there's more to life than watching other people live it."

Weeeellll... I'm alone. Hmmmm....

When I was at high school, I used to complain to myself that my classmates were a bungch of bumbling idiots. I really didn't want to be in their company. That changed in fourth year, though. But still, I wanted to get away from them because I feel like an alien among them...

Well, look at me now. I crave for their company. It's horrible knowing that your lifelong friends have started a great climb (college) in their life without you.... and you yourself haven't even started yet. Seriously, how long is my summer going to be?

Anyways, last Saturday, I went to Alabang Town Center and watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Boy, it was AWESOME!! Aslan is so awesome, Anna Poppewell (the girl who plays Susan) looks cute (hey, it's just a crush. I'm still in love with Miley and I will always and forever will be!), and the epic war at the end was so grand and fantastic! "I'd give it a two-thumbs up, but I don't wannna let go of my bucket [of popcorn]." -Roxy, Hanna Montana.

SPOILER ALERT!!

Anyways, I couldn't help but notice some aspects in the movie that seems to have come from the Bible. For example, when Aslan breathes life into people. Sounds the sort of thing you would read in Genesis. And the part in the war scenes where that giant water form drowned the Telmarine soldiers. Kinda similar to when Moses led the Hebrews away from Egypt by crossing the Red Sea. The sea parted and made way for Moses and the Hebrews, but they closed on the Egyptians, drowning them. And the water figure seemed to look like Jesus...

Contrary to the Biblical inclinations, the movie is darker and more mature than the last one. The Telmarine invasion, which has great action, is a very intense scene. Taking over Miraz's stronghold was, I can see, hard work. The part where the minotaur fell down while he was opening the gates open was very dramatic. Those poor Narnians....

Now, one character really stood out to me: Susan. I dunno, she makes me feel the same way I feel when I look at Miley's pictures, but at a lower scale. There's a certain yearning inside me that day to skip the scenes where she's not present. It's like I have a crush on her. I even got jealous when Caspian kissed her (scumbag!). Hang on, it's just a crush. I still want MILEY!!!

So, all in all a great movie. Now, I gotta go to bed. Still have stuff to do.
