Ayun!

Okay, about sa Check-Up:

More than a month na ako paos kaya nagpa-check-up na ako. May 'pinasok' na camera sa nostrils ko diretso sa throat ko.

I was dignosed with vocal cord nodules. I was so disappointed...However, I was not surprised. After all, palagi naman talaga akong paos...Hindi ko lang talaga matanggap kasi I MIGHT SING AGAIN NO MORE...Plus, kapag na-aggravate, BAKA MAGKAROON NG SURGERY...

Pumunta kami sa Voice Laboratory, may 'pinasok' na camera uli pero sa mouth ko naman. Nakita ko sa screen 'yung vocal cords ko: Inflammed and mayroong 2 nodules...

Ngayon, kailangan ko mag-voice-rest (NO SINGING AND ALMOST NO TALKING!) for 2 weeks, take ng anti-reflux medicine, 'tapos balik uli ako kay Dr. Patrick Henry S. Enriquez ('yung doctor ko sa Medical City). Kinakabahan ako...Paano na 'yung C*CATT Singers?

Okay, okay...next time na lang uli...

Bye muna for now...

I'll be graduating from high school on the 31st of March, finally!!! Kakatapos nga lang ng Graduation Ball namin (23rd of March). Mamaya, CAT Grad.

-----

College, here I COME!!!!

I hate high school kasi. Sa high school, you have to be somebody else. Kainis. I'll explain it next time. Nagmamadali ako, I have only 20 minutes remaining.

-----

Hey, nasa Conspiracy si Ria tomorrow night (share lang).

-----

Next time na ako magpo-post ng mahabang message, ha!!!

Imago Fever, etc.

2006-03-18T01:20:00.000-08:00

Hello!

Yesterday, 17th of March, I watched my favorite band, Imago, perform at the Fountain Area of Robinsons Place Metroeast, together with my good friend Daisy. It was my second time to meet them.

I had a really good time! I asked for the members' autographs. I had pictures with Aia de Leon, Myrene Academia and Raimund Marasigan (he accompanied his wife to the show). I did a 'high five' with Aia. I had a small chat with Myrene. But most importantly, Aia gave me her guitar plectrum!

Actually, we almost missed that show. 4 pm kasi 'yung show. Eh may program sa school kaya 'di kami makalabas. Daisy and I were so apprehensive kasi baka hindi kami umabot, eh we were planning na for a week! I almost lost hope when the school program ended at 5:30. But we wanted to make things sure so when they opened the gates, we instantly ran. Pagpasok namin sa mall, I was so happy to see na nagpeperform pa sila!!! First song pa nga eh!!! Turned out, may front act pa pala!!! And then ayun na...

-----

What I really like about Imago is that hindi sila rock-ish effect unlike other bands/posers. Those bands/posers are really annoying. OPM-Mainstream is suffering because of them. I'm sure they can help being just normal persons. One more thing: Bakit sobrang uso ng banda ngayon? Parang wala nang 'prestige'. Kahit sinu-sino na lang ang sumisikat.

-----

Joni Mitchell, I miss you!!!

-----

Mish, come back here soon...Hi, Ariz!

-----

By the way, I just finished reading Ria Osorio's blog archives. I was 'enlightened'. Naku, I just like that woman! Nice person, awesome musician, great wife to her husband... Siya ang bago kong inaadmire ngayon.

-----

Eew, puro babae na yata ang mga sinasabi ko ah. 'Love you, Koko Bermejo ('really love the Blue Echoes...). Hi, Ricardo (Jugo) .

-----

Anyway, I'll just meet you again in the coming days (albeit I'm not sure when), so that you can know me better. Just a piece of advice: Don't believe in first impressions.

Hey!!!

2006-03-18T01:11:00.000-08:00

Hello! I'm Raisa Racquel Monteagudo Penafiel.
