FC Winter Sem OS

Winter semester has come again and there's just a lot of things to think about how to pass through all the tough subjects we're into. But, before anything else happens, The Filipino Club opening socials must not be forgotten.. hehe...

We just had it tonight at the McKay Building 127. The activity was supposed to start at 9 pm but a lot of us were late. What else can i say? were supposed to be Filipino's and we have our own time... duh! hihih.. lol... well, the party started with a bang! imitating the Philippines noontime show "Wowowee" with Fidel as Papa Willie, Nyla as Mariel, and Junah as Powkii... it was such a fantastic introduction which made me forget i had a camera and i was supposed to take pictures of them doing the "iyug yug mu.." or somethin like that... hahaha...

Games were a big part of it and the introduction of the new members and officers as well. We had human bingo and the competition for whoever is the most beautiful and handsome among the members... Jessa Radin was such a good sport and Dennis as well... both of them make a good love team, arent they? take a look at the video clip. They are the winners and of course the People's Choice awardees.. haha :-)

i really enjoyed the nights activity. The food was so good! we had pansit and lumpia. It was like a storm came in after the eating time because not one particle remained... even the containers... hahaha.. just kidding am just exaggerating... :-) of course? theres no other way i can describe how all of us enjoyed the best cooking of JV Canlas except that we ate everything including the pans.. lol...[inflation mode] Everyone was able to eat but i think all of us wanted more though... just to be honest... Well, i believe as part of the committee's, we were constrained by our budget due to our other previous activities i geuss. The point is, we had fun and we enjoyed the food! See our smiles?

The program was well planned. Thanks to Nyla Person who was responsible for the whole thing. She has good ideas, no wonder why my friend is deeply in love with her.. hahaha... One more thing, someone caught my attention tonight.. haha... i hope it wont be just a spur of the moment but something that i could look forward to... i hope.. hihi.... so much for that, i need to stay on top of my academics... so enough from our opening socials... study mode now [as if] haha... mahalo for reading!

The NeYo Experience...

One of the best live performances that I’ve ever seen in my entire life is NeYo’s. He does not only sing perfectly but dance as well. I am pretty sure a lot of oldies don’t know him or even his music but he is very popular with the new generation. I say the new generation because I am part of it (oopss walang kokontra!.. hehe). Let me tell you what happened before we got inside Blaisdell Arena where the concert was held. If you happen to read my previous blog, you’ll be able to figure out the gist of what I am going to transmit. First and foremost, the concert was held last January 5th and I was with my fellow NeYo fan Zani Wong our very own BYUH Idol the other year. So much for that, both of us I have to admit were excited to see NeYo live in concert.

I actually thought that we won’t be able to see the concert because we were anticipating that we will arrive late, probably won’t be able to get hold of the car that were supposed to barrow from Joyce, and they might ran out of tickets. Carl and I met to get the car around 4:00pm but because of the delays and circumstances beyond control, we were able to get the car around 5:30 pm. The concert will start at 7:30 in the evening, and we were still on our way going to down town Honolulu at 6:00 pm. The approximate travel time that we could arrive at the concert area is about more or less than 1.5 hours depending on the traffic. I was thinking, “Gosh! I just don’t want to go to town for nothing except to watch NeYo’s concert.” We actually still don’t have our tickets during the time. We still need to purchase it in the ticket booth of Blaisdell Arena. Carl who was driving just listened to Zani who was telling me to prepare so that we won’t get disappointed that much… haha… She was talking about movies that we could possibly watch at the theaters but my mind was really focused on watching the concert. Haha… Good thing we arrived at the venue earlier than we expected. We were still able to purchase our tickets with an upper level accommodation. It was 35 in the upper most level, 45 in the upper level, and 55 bucks on the floor for the tickets and we decided to buy the 45 bucks. It was not that far but it wasn’t near though. It was like a relief when we finally held r pass going into the concert. You can now figure out how we love NeYo’s music. Hehe… Check out the ticket!

The concert started with the local DJ’s heating up the crowd with hip hop music. I think there were actually 3 filipino’s out of the 5 who were rapping and involving the crowd so much. I remember one said, “Philippines pride you all!” There were a lot of people who were watching but the arena was not really full. Below is the stage and one of NeYo's performances.

It was so intense that the people were excited to see NeYo and all of a sudden he went into the stage singing his first song, Because of You. You can hear him sing well but the screams almost cover his performance. It was not bad though, the sound system was really great. He sang most of his popular songs but not all of them.

I really like the first song he rendered and of course, Go On Girl, Miss Independent, and Closer to name a few. I can say that 45 bucks was worth it! Super! Hihi… It was really an amazing experience. He sings better in a live performance than a recording… I would really love to post the videos here but its taking me forever to upload it. I think my connection sucks tonight.. anyways, i got some pictures though.. hehe.. Proof that Zani and me were in it, all the way! hihi..

Before we came back home, we dropped by a restaurant which I forgot the name and ate something. We finally arrived home around 10-ish… I was with Carl, JV, Jasmine, and Zani in the car.

You will never be mine...

Due to circumstances beyond control, my thoughts came up with this poem (last year)... its nothin serious just plain words..haha... its entitled, "YOU WILL NEVER BE MINE"


So many days I spent thinking,

So many nights i spent praying,

From winter to spring to summer and fall,

Just can’t get you off my mind at all.



Reality pains, reality hurts,

Reality sucks, reality bites,

What more can i say?

That’s what reality pays.



I am yours, you are not mine,

Sounds being a martyr yet sublime.

You always have me, all the time,

Even though you will never be mine….


What do you think? hihi....

Hitch ride times two!

Waiting for almost an hour in a bus stop is not so much of a happy thing to experience, unless you’re with your special somone. Good thing I was with my Pareng Carl and the moment was not that dull. We didn’t have a car so the best thing to do was commute and use “the bus” to reach to our destination. It was also hard for us to contact the person that we’re supposed to meet because we did not have a celphone. The schedule was set to meet at 4:30 pm before Joyce, the one responsible for the car that we’re going to use to watch the concert, goes to work. At almost 5:15, finally, the bus came and we just hurriedly jump into it heeding to her place. The original plan was, we take the car with us and drive Joyce to work and fetch Zani at the back of PCC. Because we were late, Joyce just drove herself to work without a driver’s license but a students permit. So, we arrive at her house and the car was already gone with her. Haha.. it was such a funny incident. We were like waiting for almost an hour to catch the bus and we arrived at the place without the car. Pareng Carl and I actually thought that there was nobody in their house. We knocked the door so hard and after 10 minutes or so, her sister heard it and came down. She said, “oi carl! Umalis na si joyce… ma li late na kasi sya sa trabaho.” Our minds were like saying, “Holy cow! Hahaha.” We did not anticipate that Joyce would not wait for us any longer because she has to work. We need to see her because she has the car and of course the key to the car. The cost for both of us to ride the bus was four dollars and that’s the only money we had. We still had the transfer ticket though but it would take us time to wait for another bus to arrive. A wonderful idea came to our minds so we could easily get to PCC – hitch a ride….

We had a bet that if Pareng Carl could stop a car and would let us ride toward PCC , ill give him a reward. I actually thought to do the same to him but I refused. I just don’t have the guts to stop a moving car along the Kamehameha highway just to let us hitch a ride. I learned a lesson after we were able to make it to PCC though (No guts! No Glory..hehe). There were like 15 cars that passed by us and still Pareng Carl was consistent enough with the idea of hitching a ride. It was wayyy fun! I actually enjoyed it. Finally, a black truck driver noticed us and apparently stopped in front of us – such was our first hitch ride. The guy dropped us along Hau’ula. It was a wonderful adventure for us. But, we still need to get to Laie at PCC which would take us around 5 minutes (not by walk) from where we’re at. So, we hitched a ride for the second time and it was a blue ford truck 1995 driver who pitied us and took us to PCC. It was such a wonderful ride! We actually took pictures of ourselves to prove that we did hitch a ride twice in a row. One thing was certain, i owed him a reward. hehe..

It was an experience that will never be forgotten. Imagine hitching a ride for two times consecutively. It was incredible! Pareng Carl was the one who made our experience possible because he was confident enough to make the trucks stop so we could hitch a ride.. haha… Job well done carl! Next stop is our NEYO experience…

Jumpstart :-)

Its been a while that i haven't created anything like this online blogger and stuff. Out of nothing to do, let me start using my head in relating how i happen to get involve with this online blogger which i think could be a good online journal. Why not try it! right? What ever happens to this blog would be solely blamed to my sister - Atchii Joanne. She started all this, which means, she also has nothing to do (actually just waiting for her Nursing Licensure Exam result and just came from china for a quick vacation after her exam.. drew...jealous mode... hehe).

I was just chatting with some of my friends back home when suddenly Atchi Joanne sent me a message saying, "Check this out: http://joannemords.blogspot.com," I did not have anything to do aside from YM-iing so i checked on it. A thought came to my mind, "Why not create one?! it would be a good thing to do while doing nothing.." so then, i created a gmail account and finally got myself into blogging.

Anyways, its Saturday and actually the first Saturday of twenty Oh nine... i did not have a lot to do except work for eight hours today and suppose to be forty hours this week. I actually just had thirty eight hard work hours to end the week. it was not an easy week for me but it was fun! i had New Years Eve with my Noypi friends at d Kongaika's. It was a blast! but nothing compares when you celebrate it with your family at home... indeed there's no other place like home... hahaha.. much more from my emo mode.. LOL... am still bored and hope to be able to finish this introduction for my andrewjosedmordeno.blogspot.com ...this is not really an introduction.. i just dont have anything to say... hehe.. my mind is kind of jumbled right now. i dont know how to start this piece of writing.. i dont know.. i really dont know... haha... the perfect solution for this would be to take a rest, sleep, and continue doing it tomorrow.. how is that?

not bad for a jumpstart huh?

PS... am looking forward for your comments all you out there my fans .. hahaha.. i mean, friends and readers... i will be posting some edited pictures (i mean, adobe edited pics.. haha) of myself and others as well... with some of my one in a million poems.. LOL... ciao! drew signin off...
