SHE IS THE PROM QUEEN. I’M IN THE MARCHING BAND

May 28, 2008

GIRL NEXT DOOR BY SAVING JANE

Small town homecoming queen
She’s the star in this scene
There’s no way to deny she’s lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she’s ugly
Maybe I’m just jealous
I can’t help but hate her

Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her

She is the prom queen I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I’m sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I’m sleeping on the floor
She’s Miss America and I’m just the girl next door

Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutaunt
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding
Maybe I’ll admit it
I’m a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her

She is the prom queen I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I’m sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I’m sleeping on the floor
She’s Miss America and I’m just the girl next door
Oh and I’m just the girl next door

I don’t know why I’m feeling sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else

She is the prom queen I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I’m sitting in the stands
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She’s Miss America and… she’s Miss America
I’m just the girl next door…

- - i know it’s girly, but i can’t get over catchy the song is.

- - it takes a very sad, but very true reality; turns it into a light and enjoyable song.   

- - hopefully nobody i know experiences these sort of stuff.

- - truth of the matter is, that the typical-blonde Miss America girl isn’t all that hot.

- - POWER TO THE BAND GEEKS! Haha.  

- - seriously.

BACK FROM MY HIATUS

May 26, 2008

i’m back. Haha. after day’s out of the house, i can now properly blog about the recent happenings and out of towns which i definitely needed.

but first off, i’d like to thank everybody who remembered to greet me on my birthday. i saw Trixie, which i may add was very pretty in green, the other day and she reminded me that i never got the chance to properly thank the people who greeted me. so, there you go. Haha. 

THANKS, (insert your name here). Much Love. Haha.

plus. IMY, bestfriend. it’s been too long.

plusplus, Lance, who dedicated his 80th post for me. cheers for Lance. Haha.  

anywhhoo. my fun, fun birthday was spent all day with my mommy dearest. she took me shopping for new stuff which was all great. i got myself some nifty tshirts and a snazzy looking jacket. after a bajillion bargains  and tawaran with the tinderas, we ate at Teriyaki Boy. yummy Jap-food.

 

the next very early day, my mom and i headed for wonderful Subic. Haha. the trip was great. there’s this new highway thingy they’ve renovated. they actually cut these series of hills in half to make way for the fancy highway. naaliw nga ako eh. the only thing that spoiled the trip was a bajillion tollgates. Haha. we met up with my mom’s friend’s house for some catching up. the place was beautiful. it was a bit like suburbia. even Desperate Housewives ish. Hahaha. 

and some American Idol. horaay for David Cook! i never liked that Achuleta dude. Haha. his charm on teenage girls obviously didn’t rub off on me.

then we went to the Subic Yacht Club which is again beautiful. Haha. it’s really one of those high end, fancy-smancy private clubs. swimming stuff and mommy bonding time is always fun. and it was actually sunny. some needed vitamin d was at work. Haha.

after passing by Olongapo for some errands, we started to look for a hotel. we found this cozy hotel near the beach. after settling in, it was back to my mom’s friend’s place and after the grown ups left, i was left with the other kids, some of them my age even older.

and there i experienced my first encouter with some hardcore peer pressure; specifically drinking. for the people who knew me, they know that i never drank even an ounce of alcohol or any kind of liquor. and all through the night those people, who i barely even knew, tried shoving down shots of vodka down my throat. Haha. thankfully, i found refuge in two people, Lance and Jo. Hahaha. who got me through the night without a drop of alcohol entering my virgin liver. Hahahaha.

i think i sort of freaked them out with my abstinence to alcohol. me refusing to drink is what separates me from the booze driven teenagers running around lately. yuck! parang ang tanada na eh. Hahaha. coming from a nerd, this isn’t half bad. Hahaha.

the only good part of that night was the Wii part. it was freakin’ fun! the boxing and tennis games were my favorite. now i’m jealous. now i want a Wii too.

my mom dropped me off at the hotel, so she could go back to her partying. Haha. having the room all to myself was a bit scary. it was a big room with a lot of mirrors and some air conditioning working overtime. the cold was setting a very creepy atmosphere. horay for cable!

the morning after, we decided to stop for breakfast. then to Olongapo again for some shopping. then we headed for home.

out of towns are always great. but what i liked about this one is some good old mommy time. Haha. just talking about school, people, college, life, and just whatevers is really fulfilling. i am and forever will remain a mommy’s boy until the end of my days.

when we got home, there isn’t time for rest. we’ll be off to Laguna for my cousin’s birthday.

it’s a good thing they have their own house there. there isn’t any need to look for a private place to rent in Pansol. Haha. i still had my hangover from Subic, so i opted not to swim just yet. Chris, Ate Roxanne , and Ate Keigh were in the same mood as i was, so you know what that means..

MAGIC SING! Haha. it’s never a dull moment with those guys not with a mic in hand and a kajillion songs to sing. Hahaha.

after i worn myself out with all the singing, it’s off to swimming pool for me. fun. fun. fun. the usual stuff. Haha. 

i always enjoyed the food there. i have my new guilty pleasure. 

all smothered in CHEESE and BUTTER. TAHONG, my love! Haha.

the ride home was just plain wrong. i never noticed SLEX to be that dark and that messed up. we almost crashed into this thing in the middle of the road. thank God for my mom’s superior driving skills. if i were you, i would avoid passing through there. not after they stopped all the construction anyway.

SLEX is just plain dangerous, period.

which ends my hiatus. out of town anyway. Haha. we were back at San Juan the following day. Haha.

. . . . . . 

anyway. i can’t believe i was still able to finished this looong blog. i had 300 on HBO and Lisette keeping me awake the entire time. the INSOMNIAC and NOCTURNAL are at it again. Hahaha.

. . . . . .

A SERIOUSLY BIG HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY to MIKH!

PARTEEEYY! I CAN’T WAIT! 

AND ANOTHER SERIOUSLY BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW J10! 6 NERDS MADE THE CUT! ITAAS ANG BANDILA! HAHA.

TALK IT OUT

Lance:

uh.. update?:))

ten:

hi jones!!!

Josefina.:

the lyrics make for a beautiful poem. how i wish my pc’s sound device would work already!

Sette:

waaa. love that song. :p

ten:

like kei, i’m a fan of both. but i can’t deny that HP is more well-written than the twilight series. :P but then again both of them got me hooked.

Josefina.:

it’s all a matter of opinion, really. some like HP, some prefer Twilight, the rest may like some other book or series. the comparisons are all quite subjective. that’s how it is, i suppose. doesn’t change anything. :P

Kei:

haha. i’m a fan of both series, so there’ no bias in my opinion. all i can say is how can a series at the top of this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books#Claims_of_at_least_100_million_copies not trump a series not even on this list? oh well, maybe someday. :D

eaarl:

jones, reading your blog makes me miss those long entries. haha. anyway..

Josefina.:

sorry i bestowed a litany upon your chatbox. guess i should’ve posted on the comments area instead. teehee. :)

Josefina.:

you might’ve anticipated that i wouldn’t NOT comment — being a HARDCORE FAN(ATIC) of something would, most possibly affect your opinion on things other than what you’re drooling over. so, let fanatics speak of what they love, and NOT throw crap about what other people love, just because it’s different. and, no, i don’t think Twilight emphasizes on crap about controlling boyfriends and detachment from humanity — obviously, the hardcore HP fanatic merely scratched the surface. Twilight’s actually about the complexities of love, the complexities THAT GO with loving someone, and the strength and potency that love holds, regardless of its victim — at least, according to me. yes, that sounded CORNY, and yes, vampires, as far as the real world can tell, do not exist. but that’s my two cents in. fathom THAT! :P

Lance:

I like the layout:D

ten:

I missed you and I will miss you too. <3

ten:

500 people you meet in hell. First time ko marinig yun ah. It sounds interesting. haha! I might buy it. yess…you sold the book to me, jones!

Josefina.:

heey, keep in mind that I’m a friend who listens to friends’ problems, too! let’s trade sides whenever you may need to. :)

Josefina.:

magfi-feeling ako: if that message is for me, thank you very much. I’m blessed to have such beautiful, loving friends. cradle to grave. :)

Ice:

computer crap XD

chii:

HAHAHA! gets kita! yung sa mass. 10am kami. nagyon lang ata kami umupo sa harap dahil walang tao! :) ))

chii:

HAHAHA. Yes besh. I-shall-not-speak-anymore was my thing last Fri :) )))

Josefina.:

friendship thing IS going on overdrive. it’s that time of year. I’m really blessed to have friends like you and the gang. :)

chii:

best, parties are fuuun. SOMETIMES. hahaha! :) )
