I was teary-eyed seeing the blurry AVP. Concert intro and Alapaap. Watch out for the fireworks before the end of the video:
Huwag Mo ng Itanong (haaaaaaaaay, this made my day!) I super loved this song especially during college. Read more

I expressed in two previous posts my big wish to attend the reunion concert of Eraserheads. Since I am miles away from the Philippines, I just stay tuned to my plurk buddies’ updates. I thank Azrael for plurking via SMS to give us updates from the happenings at the entrance, countdown before the opening song Alapaap, songs rendered after the other, etc. Until he plurked that there was a 20-minute break before the second set. However, the break was prolonged to 40 minutes. After which, Lali (his sister) issued a statement:
“We regret to inform you that we have to cut the concert short. My brother had to be rushed to hospital because of emotional and physical stress he is experiencing.”
I love them, I love them. In my mind, Abu Dhabi is just a minute away going there. I’m so inggit talaga that I can’t be there at the reunion concert. I’ve seen the venue map and I was imagining at I’m sitting at the VIP seat. Heehee.
For now, I’ll content myself with this song. It never fails to pick me up whenever I’m at my lowest low.
Persuasion may probably depict the story of any grown up. I think that at some point in our lives, we’ve been persuaded long enough. Socially, spiritually, and significantly and usually – emotionally.
Persuasion mainly revolved about the intertwined lives in relation to Anne Elliot. It is interesting to note that in one chapter, she was described as “She was just Anne”. Yes, she is. A sensible woman, have been persuaded to break an engagement, and holds an old flame in her heart.
Anne Elliot was persuaded by an elder family friend, Lady Russel to break off her engagement with Frederick Wenthworth because he is deemed not acceptable per family’s standards. After 8 years, they met again. And the rest followed. The story may seem simple. But Jane Austen really has her way of telling it in a classic and engaging way.
Finally, done with the book. I’m still feeling like Anne Elliot. I’d be writing about my random thoughts in a while. How’s your reading?
