The Breakfast Club
"...They who are near to me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are. They who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words. They who crowd in my path do now know that I am walking alone with you. They who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart..." Rabindranath Tagore: 1861-1941

Sandblags and We Will Rockwell

Interesting title but if you have a 4-year old kid, you'd understand. It starts with Potching watching Freaky sing Bohemian Rhapsody while he sings it with Violet-Haired Girl. He'll pretend he's Brian May on guitars and will copy all his moves. Then the choir (who all look like people on Thundercats) will sing along the "Mamma Mia! Galileo!" part and then BAM! A little fireworks display as Ghostrider enters the stage with a silver necklace with the word "KILLER" in big, block letters. Afterwards, the "bwaaaang" of the gong sounds off.

Party Stage Party at the Palace Party Stage


Confused? Nah, he's just watching Party at the Palace, the 2002 Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth's ascension to the throne. We were given a copy last January when my Kuya arrived from Switzerland. One of the songs performed was rock mecca Bohemian Rhapsody by no less than the rock group Queen with the lead vocals done by Tony Vincent who, according to Pot, is Freaky. Why? Because he has black eyeliner and black eyeliners are for girls. Not to mention Freaky sings differently because, as we all know, it is difficult to pull off any Freddie Mercury song without contorting your face...hence, the name Freaky.


Tony Vincent aka Freaky



And this Violet-Haired-Girl, The Thundercats Choir and Ghostrider/Killer have all amused me the first time I saw them as much as it has amused Pot. I was thinking, What an ingenious way to perform this song! It is only recently (meaning 2 days ago after paying attention to the concert announcer) that I found out that these are actually the people who perform the We Will Rock You stage play in London. Freaky is actually Tony Vincent (who is really quite good-looking,ha!) playing Galileo and The Violet-Haired-Girl is Hannah Jane Fox as Scaramouche and Ghostrider is Sharon D. Clarke as the Killer Queen.

Galileo Rocks! We Will Rock You With Killer Queen

Performance at Party at the Palace: Brian May is, according to Pot,
the one with the kulubot na buhok...

Killer Queen Ghost Rider
Oo nga, magkamuka sila!

And what would any Queen performance be without We Will Rock You? Fairly easy to memorize, any 4-year old will be able to sing this. However, Pot does this with a slight modification. His version goes "We will, We will ROCKWELL!" I think it has something to do with the fact that just last week, Pot was at Rockwell Powerplant Mall. And what about Sandblags? Well, continuing with the Party at the Palace, Rod Stewart performs "Handbags and Gladrags", one of my personal favorites. Imagine my surprise when I hear Pot sing "...the sandblags and the handbagds...Ano na nga ulet yun, Mommy?"

I guess Pot's fixation with rock music started with "School of Rock". He loved the movie and Mr. Schneebly and how he was able to make a band that brought the house down for the Battle of the Bands. Spazzy McGee, Posh Spice, Freddy Jones and Piano Man were Pot's classmates then while I remember falling asleep to the sound of "Smoke in the Water" and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" after graveyard shift, and listening to Mr. Schneebly sticking it to The Man. From then on, Pot went from wanting to be a great keyboardist, to a gut-bustin' drummer, to a face-melting guitarist. And with the fervor on Rockstar: INXS, of course, Pot was immersed again, by me, thank you very much, in the rock and roll arena. He was looking for Suzie in the elimination finals, was interested in why Marty slammed his guitar and was reminded of Freaky after watching Mig's final performance (he does not know JD, ha!). Just last week, Pot was singing "Mr. Brightside". Good thing he got the words right on that one. But I'm not complaining. The sandblags and rockwell... he'll learn.

Screwed

I'm screwed. And it's because I can't get Paris Hilton's song "Screwed' out of my head. I don't know but I just love the dance-pop feel to it. She starts out with "I'm screwed...I'm screwed" then goes into this Donatella Versace-ish voice then switches to her bubble-gum voice. I don't even care if this is her synthesized voice or an affectation on her part but, if it's good enough to make me tap my feet and bob my head along, then I love it and THAT'S HOT (heehee)!


I have never anything personal against Paris. She may be called a brat, a sl*t or attention-deprived but I couldn't care less. I have always been appreciative of good music, regardless of the genre. Anyhoo, all together now...

Let's start it up again
You're under my skin Same old story
Boy meets girls
And she falls much harder than him
Baby, wheres the glory?


If all night,
All night
Your attentions not mine
Then let's start it up again
You're under my skin, It's a sin
Cause you're starting to win


Since I'm already screwed
Here's a message to you
My hearts wide open
And I'm just not gettin' through
To the lover in you
And I'm still hopin'
That tonight
Tonight


Your gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room
Just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?


Just push her aside
She's not your type
So cliche when
A boy falls under the spell
Of a woman from


Hell, It's hard to take 'cause Tonight
Tonight
You could've found out I might
Have been the girl of your dreams
Baby, you might've seen
What it means
Just to really be free


Since I'm already screwed
Heres a message to you
My hearts wide open
And I'm just not gettin' through
To the lover in you
And I'm still hopin'
That tonight
Tonight
You're gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room
Just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?


Tell me that you do...
Tell me that you do...
Tell me that you wanna take my number


There will come a day
A hazy day in May
Or a storm in mid-December
When you need someone
Just to have a little fun


Then I could be the perfect girl for you to run
Since I'm already screwed
Heres a message to you
My heart's wide open
And I'm just not gettin' through
To the lover in you
And I'm still hopin'
That tonight
Tonight


Your gonna turn down the lights
And give me a little more room
Just to prove it to you
What do I gotta do?

Team MiG

Last Day at the Mansion Over the Hill

Rockstar INXS is almost concluded and it was a thrill watching the contenders and having to explore the vast arena of Rock Music. Personal performance favorites were MiG's "Baby, I Love Your Way", Marty's "Mr. Brightside", Jordis' "The Man Who Sold The World" and Ty's "No Woman, No Cry".


Some people are saying MiG should not have chosen to sing Bo Rhap (kigaya, hehe) since this would show his regression to being the stage actor who sang Queen songs but, sige, tirahin mo, Kuya! Show them how this rock anthem should be done!


Solid Mig pa ren ako, hehe! While Marty indeed has the discipline and the edge both in songwriting and performance, he seems too "Grunge" for INXS. I guess I am comparing him to Michael Hutchence-INXS which was more dance rock (but still with THAT edge). JD is wishy-washy since he IS a good songwriter and can hold an audience but at the back of my mind, he reminds me of a time-bomb. I remember telling Candy that he seems to be the guy who would say something and people might look at each other first before reacting for fear he might fly off the roof if you don't agree with him. While MiG has the Rockstar appeal down pat, he is too, um, ballad-y and seems apprehensive to "test unfamiliar territories". They say he is too gentle or too agreeable but you gotta admit, him being at the Top Three, he has proven himself in the different aspects of Rock and this time, he earned the right to show what he is good at. Huling hirit for a smashing performance. I am personally looking forward to his Bo Rhap version.

I think it would be much easier to bring out the edgy MiG than to tone down Grunge-Marty or Wack-o-JD. So, GO MIG! Pinoy, Australiano, doesn't matter! At the risk of being too cliche, you ROCK, MiG! Text mo'ko for the full details, ha?

Soo-weet!

After Donnie Darko, Emily Rose, Takagism and the House, I am so not in the mood anymore for any dark, dreary or any other-worldly...things. Get me drama, get me comedy, but no scream-inducing sites or movies for me.


So I go to MTV and just watch all the movie trailers there, old and new. Incidentally, I want to watch Reese Witherspoon's Just Like Heaven, even if it borders on other-worldliness, at least I don't see decapitated heads and flies, eww. So while I click this and that, I don't know why I got to Napoleon Dynamite. Now I have heard a lot of good things about this movie regarding, well, Napoleon Dynamite. Don't be fooled by the name, he's no terrorist or what. If you thought Donnie Darko is a funny name for a sinisted person, then Napoleon is a wacky name for a wacky person. A curious geek who'll "prove he's got nothing to prove". And it's not just him. Check out his entire family of misfits, his friend Pedro who offers to protect him, Ligers (a combination of a Tiger and a Lion), his perpetually open mouth you'll have a soo-weet time watching this film reminiscent of John Hughes' films (hence, Napoleon's high waist, haha!).


I spent the whole afternoon laughing at the mini-clips and at how Napoleon dances. And I haven't watched the film yet! Yeah, pathetic but I swear, I'm gonna look for this one in DVD (pirated or not) for a chance to see when Napoleon finally gets the chance to shine. So until then, I'll content myself to hearing Dynamite...

...and seeing him dance.

Beyond The Cellar Door

As if life is not confusing enough, I stuble upon Donnie Darko. Listening to K-Lite's Litewave program, the DJ talks about Donnie Darko's OST. Any movie that would have Echo and the Bunnymen's "Killing Moon" is enough to pique my interest.


Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you
or cancel it Though I know
it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

...You bet it will...


Uh-huh. Ups the creep-ola factor,no? Now I have no prior idea to what or who Donnie Darko is and frankly I thought the movie was about a guy frequenting Studio 54 or doing porn. Or both ( Then I remembered I was referring to Dirk Diggler). So I checked out Donnie Darko's website and whoa...it's like Twin Peaks all over again. In a nutshell, Donnie Darko is about travelling through time and space. Now these two things, for me, are the most confusing things. It borders on logic and mysticism and just thinking about it gives me headache.

Wake up, Donnie... it's the end of the Universe!

Um, Scary-Ass Bunny, who's "They"?

And so I go through the Darko website and I am taken to different levels, books by a certain Roberta Sparrow about the Philosophy of Time and Manipulated Livings, a Primary and a Tangent Universe, and whatnot. Just going through the site enables you to ask, is it possible to travel thru time and correct things, for that matter? And just how is that possible? Do you stumble upon a potral or is it deliberate?

I remember watching Quantum Leap before and watched entranced as Dr. Sam Beckett gets guided by The Observer into changing things in the past to basically prevent bad things from happening, keep someone alive, remove painful experiences, etc. Even JK Rowling has dabbled into time-travel, providing a time-turner which eventually saved the innocent Sirius Black and Buckbeak from death. Why the fascination with time-travel? Is it because trying to explain it is virtually impossible, wherein one finds himself going into circles? Who could explain why Harry Potter saw a vision of himself performing the Patronus while on the other hand, the Time-Turner Harry explains that he was able to perform the Patronus well because he did it before? Ooh, there's that headache again!

Dr. Sam Beckett and The Observer
The Observer and Dr. Beckett and Rowling's Time-Turner

Back to Donnie Darko, I have not watched this film and the reason being is, let's say, I was living under a rock during its release and back then days were spent watching Disney Channel and Nickelodeon and the only movies I were familiar with were Finding Nemo, Brother Bear and other Disney cartoons. Hence my fascination with Donnie Darko. I plan to buy the Director's Cut DVD and watch it as many times as I can until I arrive at a plausible interpretation. Until then, I'll bear the headaches and the non-stop theorizing. And if you are just like me who has no shred of idea who ro what Donnie Darko is all about, click on the Cellar Door...

Scared Of The House?

Got this link from the email and this sure scared the shit out of me. Clicking this link will take you to The HOUSE where you will visit 5 rooms where gruesome death has occured. Your job is to find out as much as you can abouth the deaths and who are involved. I suggest using earphones to be able to listen well, since you ARE going into a house of murder and clues abound. You can only visit one room at a time and would have to completely solve the mystery before moving on. Click on the objects found in the room to get the story. Remember, they tell a story so be sure to go back and click on these every now and then.


One last warning before you click, this is not for the faint of heart.

Candy And Her Rubber Shoes

Candy is wearing rubber shoes today and I know why. Sabi nya kse daw akala nya uulan but I know better. Plano nyang maglakad mula sa PSC hanggang sa EDSA via Ayala Ave.

Nag-umpisa yan kahapon nung nasa balcony kme. Tinanong nya kung malayo daw ba lakarin mula PSC hanggang EDSA. Sabi namen OO kse doble yung distance compared dun sa dati naming office which was Philam Bldg. Akala ko naman super-saver tip nya ito kse nga naman baka mas trip nyang magtipid. Pero hindi. Exercise daw nya ito. At alas-dose ng madaling araw nya uumpisahang bagtasin ang Ayala Ave. Ewan ko lang kung sasamahan siya ni Drake. OK lang naman ata yun, come to think of it. Maliwanag naman ang Ayala e. And mejo may mga tao pa ring naglalakad ng ganung oras. Advice ko na lang magdala na rin sha ng dumbles? dambells? dumbbells? (5 pounds each) para ma-maximize nya exercise nya. Toned pa arms nya non!

So kung may makita kayong babaeng mala-Nicole Richie ang style ng buhok at naka-rubbershoes and black socks paired with jeans and a light-blue tee, sya na yon.

Candylicious, I swear pag effective yan, ako ren magra-rubbershoes na at maglalakad, pero papuntang Filmore naman ako.
