It's nice to be back.

After quite some time, I'm finally making an effort to at least visit and try to write something worthwhile here in my blog. I am so sorry if I haven't been able to update it regularly. As I said in my previous post, there have been some personal issues I've had to deal with. I will spare you the details of the tangled mess of things in my life that I have come to label as personal issues.

I really don't think that the internet is the right place to write about those things. I think it would be better if I keep those random ramblings unpublished, tucked away inside the pages of worn bluebooks.

Ah, where was I?

Oh yes, something to write about.

Yeah, I guess this'll do. I'm happy about the results of our corridor's Basement Songfest. After all the bruhaha and the rush to comply with the deadlines, we've finally chosen the song that best symbolizes our life down under. Our song is entitled "Kasama."

It's a really great original composition. I knew there was talent but I never knew there was that much.

With lines like "hayaan nilang tingalain ang lupa./madilim, walang liwanag./ngunit hindi ang buhay.../ at kung sakaling marating ang mga bituin./ 'di pa rin malilimutan./ at kung sakaling lumipas ang mahabang panahon./ nandito pa rin ako./ naghihintay sa'yo./ kasama ng mga alaala," it provides an apt description of our life in the corridor.

The other songs were also good, but one song came in at a close second. Entitled "Moog", it was also quite good. But we only had to choose one, and the basement boys chose "Kasama."

Now, there are plans of recording all the four entries. I hope it pushes through so that we can include the songs in our Basement CD. How I wish you could hear the songs for yourselves so that you could appreciate them better. Then you'd know just how talented my my floormates are.

Oh, that's another reason why I haven't been writing much lately. I've got so many things to do in the dorm, like the upcoming formal dinner this Saturday. Come to think of it, I do still have to borrow a tie. This is all for now.
