My Wish List 2

Ilang araw na rin ako nag-iisip. Ano ba talagang gusto ko para sa buhay ko.. Tapos habang binabasa ko ang isa libro ni Bo Sanchez di ko na lang napigilang tumulo ang mga luha sa mata ko..
... i feel a lot of hurt for being taken for granted.. I need people in my life who appreciate what i do for them... yung tipong I'm not treated as an alternative..

a repost from my blogspot account...
***************************
Dont' assume that I'm okay....

Siguro isa ito sa pinaka-malaking pagkakamali na nagawa sa akin.. "Not because it's okay with you, okay na rin sa akin.." Nawa'y pakinggan niyo naman kung ano ang gusto ko... I could fend for myself.. be independent - but it does not mean that I do not need anybody in my life.. Just because I do not complain - don't assume that I'll be okay with whatever is left for me..... That it's okay for me not to have dessert coz there wasn't just enough for everybody..

bottomline: I have issues, i get hurt and I'm just too angry sometimes.. (di obvious noh?)

Taken from Kerygma daily reflections:
Forgiveness is something that is rarely easy to bring to another person for exactly the reason that underlies Peter’s question. How can we be sure that they will not take advantage of our goodwill and do it again? The troubling answer is that we cannot be sure. The even more uncomfortable fact is that we are called to forgive them again if they do. The only comforting thing in all of this is the knowledge that this is how God acts in relation to our sins. I suppose if it is good enough for God, it is good enough for me.

Eraserheads Concert

Went to watch the Eraserheads Reunion Concert last Aug. 30 (which also happened to be my birthday).

I was seriously excited to see them all play together (in one stage) after all these years..
When they started the 20-minute countdown, Scott and I were shouting with the crowd. We even made a bet that once the timer hits 2 minutes, people will shout even more.. (hahaha). Once they started playing Alapaap, Scott and I were "starstruck" kumbaga..

Over-all (after Ely's hospital incident and all), it was an okay concert.
It was amazing to see them all performing live.. Man, these people literally shaped OPM music history! Haha..maaga pa.. pero living legends na sila.. hahaha...

Anway, I'm not sure if Scott and I were really in a bad place.. Kasi I honestly saw them perform better.. I mean, they sounded good - but something was missing. I guess it was the chemistry -given the rift that remains unsettled I guess. I'll give them a 10 for everything.. except siguro for "stage performance:' (yah, di naman to singing contest), pero I was waiting for them to connect more with their fans.. (I'm a performer myself and boy, I should know..)

Scott and I weren't sure if these guys were really enjoying themselves up there.. My concept kasi of a really good performance (aside from getting the whole technical aspect right) is that it has to be 1) enjoyed by the audience and 2) enjoyed by the performers themselves. Given that I was unfortunate to secure a VIP or SVIP pass (for reasons I'm at a lost with...), I was watching from the patron section. This unfortunately did not help me assess the band's actual "enjoyment" of the moment... (ahahaha)

Anyway, I was disappointed that they had to cut short their gig. Sayang lang, didn't get to see them play sa Saguijo. (Nagutom na kasi ako..) Perhaps, Ely could have already assessed in the first place his capacity to play a full-set. Wala namang pipilit sa kanya kung di pa niya talaga kaya. Madali naman mag-resched. Anyway, the set-back actually "forces" ? them to play again.. (wohoo!)

I wish Ely a speedy recovery...

"Next time, sana mag-spiel pa sila on stage.. haha"
