Merry Christmas!

Merry (belated) Christmas! everyone!!

Long time I haven't blog so ya, I've been busy recently like choir practices for Christmas eve mass/caroling in church and also cooking and chores at home...and of course fun fun with the box with an X and goes 360 (if you understand that is).
Well so far Christmas was brillent (spelling?) first was Exchange gift party at my childhood friend's place! it's a fun night cut short for me, yea cut short from playing UNO that is!
What I received from them are a belt and a wallet from my godfather, clothes, clothes, games, clothes and then my moment of happiness!! AN IPOD SHUFFLE!!! which is one of my christmas gift list that I wanted which surprising given to me, and plus $50 from my godfather!

During Christmas day was lunch out, then do chores, cook dinner and play games! yeash it's like a regular day for me. But then receiving some cash from my parents as presents that is!

Now, Last night my parents suppose to buy me a nintendo wii which I wanted dearly for christmas but thanks for EGM giving a console that was crap, we returned it instead, then before to the trafficated mall of small wonders, my parents gave me $626. Yeash you heard me, $626, alot of money like a first pay-day, then it was my decision to whether or not to buy the wii.
After a sleepless night of thinking (ending up with 1 hour of sleep) I ended up saving the money instead of buying to wii because i am quite happy with my Xbox 360 (even though with the heck loads of repairs) and my aging PS2. So yea, that's a final decision, I might as well buy Anime sets and some books for leisure/books for uni or maybe a controller or something useful.

Anyways, see you this coming new year where I'll hopefully blog right before the New Year!

P.S: Chipmunks version of christmas! I recommend you to download it! and also The album of the movie!

Imagine this for Christmas

Imagine this guys:


Walking home from a christmas party and heading towards the church and pause for a momment and you pray for family, friends and you personal intentions for the future. Then you look a the night skies, you see the beauty of the stars in different patterns and you wonder "where can i find something this beautiful?" and you felt the breeeze it was warm not cold but warm. Then your eye catched something in the sky, it was a star... a star that is twinkling brightly and your eyes glitters when you stared at the beauty of the star and you made a wish and you hoped that it would come true. After that, you begin to walk once again, this time as you walk you see jolly people caroling, partying, with their special someone and of course being with family(which is important), and you thought for yourself "I miss'em, my friends and family". You continue walking and see the beautiful scenery with sparkling lights of the houses and the dark enviroment scene which blows you away!(trees swaying left to right with stars above twinkling) As you reach you home, you pause for a moment...to said to yourself " Its christmas, every christmas is always special....Christmas a time to be with your family...christmas to be with someone or friends....christmas a time to be jolly .....christmas our lord christ is born." Then you walked in to your home and what you get?
you wanna know? what???


it's this: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, a banner that is beautifully decorated with red and green with lights suddenly switched on, everything in you home glittered brightly and the colors brightly lit and sparkled in you eyes. you go in side quickly and you saw everyone! your closest and trusted friends, special people to you and your whole family(relatives and so on). You were in shock and speechless as they shouted out in joy "Merry Christmas (name), and welcome home!!" as you didn't expect them to come by and surprise you with joy. Your face then glitters and sparkled with joy, happiness and shining as a joyful sparkling star, your eyes is filled with tears and dripping down your cheek and glitters as it falls towards to the ground. One of friends asked 'are you ok?" and you looked up it was your most closest friend and trusted friend then your family and other friends asked the same question and you replied "This is the best christmas of all my life! everyone is here....everyone is here.....my childood friends, my hold school friends, my family....everyone is here...and also christ is within us....this is like a dream come true.....like a wish or some sort.....thank you...thank you everyone" and started crying......


How's that for a christmas? sound too perfect to be true to happen right? well dreams are there for you to imagine what if this happens situations....and also it is always free to dream and imagine anything. Well, every christmas is special which is true because christmas is time about togetherness with someone, family or friends, and to give(and still give even though it's not christmas) love, gifts or anything, also the time of forgiving people for what they've done to you in the pass year. Christmas to me? well it's TGF meaning Togetherness Giving Forgiving....which i guess most of everyone's opinions. so yeah, here's a greeting MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! JOYEUX NOEL!!!! MALIGYANG PASKO!!!!


with care and god bless, JOU (Joseph Ognita Untalan)

Wander

I crossed many lands,
Lands of beauty,
Beauty may seem wonderful,
But inside these majestic royal lands,
Are not seemed to be.

I saw many people,
Cheery faces and togetherness,
Seeming that there's peaceful harmony,
They hid their darkness,
Which may be crossed-winded.

Wandering,
Such a pleasure,
Being able to see,
hear and taste,
These many experiences.

But until I find a home,
I'm sure,
Someday this wanderer,
Will find a home and,
Finally end.

A Story. . .

Let me write something, like a short story in the net or in your books that you have to revise for an English test. So here it goes:

It was a cold quiet night, a man walking against the cold breeze of the night. He has been walking long since he arrived from the airport, carrying a backpack and a strap bag which hung on his shoulder.
It's been a while. He thought. This place very, well nostalgic.
He was walking pass by houses that he recognized during his childhood years, remembering his old pal used to play pranks on their neighbors, such as planting stink bombs in every house in the neighborhood or swaping mailboxes and the worst, replacing welcome mats with sacks filled with pure stench fresh from the toilets.
Ahh the good old days. He thought again, then he stopped in front of rusted playground. He paused and remembered his first love during his teenage days where he had the most gorgous drop dead pretty face girlfriend. He looked at the rusted swing and visualized himself those days, where'd stared and gazed at her star bright eyes then walked her home hand on hand.
I wonder how she is today? He thought. He continued walking til he reach a house. A house that is brightly aging, a two story [spelling?] building with two to four windows on each side of the rectangular building. The house was dark and seemingly haunted.
I hope that my parents are home. He thought as he gazed from the frontyard. It's been eight years since i left home to study in a university i've worked hard for and finally finished it, brutal long years and it's time to celebrate. But why weren't they at my graduation? The office diddn't inform any acciddents. I just hope they're home anddoing well.
He began walking torwards the front door, a light breeze passed his face and his hair flowed with the flow of the flowing stream of breeze. As he walked towards the door which is home, he flashbacked his memories of the past. Memories when he was in university, going to classes everyday where he aimed to do his best, hitting the library to gain knowlegdable information for his course and going out with his new found friends where'd enjoy themselves in malls, billiarads and of course playing some good old sports. As well meeting a girl of his dreams, similar to his teenage sweetheart, they're the perfect couple exclaimed their friends where they were close as two swans that have found love again.
He finally reached the door, and openned it slowly. And entered the dark house, he walked to his right and entered the living room. Which then suddenly lit brightly and it was filled with familar faces he recognized in his old days, such his neighbor which he played pranks to and his old and new friends and well of course his parents were there. Attached on the ceiling were two banners, one was "Welcome Home!" and the other "Congratulations!!".
"Surprised!!" everyone shouted.
The man stood there like in a state of shock as he saw people he loved and cared which he thought they've abadoned him during and after his graduation. His parents approuched him first and his dad said, "Son, I want to tell this." he paused "I am the most proudest man in the world now, you know why? because all my scarifices through your education years has been paid. What are my scarifices? Me working an earning to help you live the life the way you live right now, and look at you now. You look really brillant and. . ." he paused as his eyes were filled with tears. "well. . .absolutely amazing! I did all my scarifices because I love you in all my heart no matter how bad or good you are, as you are my son."
The father was in tears as he ended his sentence. His mother hugged him tightly that he can't breathe. Then tears began to burst from her eyes and dripped from her cheeks.
"My little baby. . . " she said, "My baby. . ." she paused, ". . .i love you. . . you've grown through and through. . . and dear god he blessed you and guided you. . . and now look at you, big and handsome!" she paused again for while, "I had many scarifices made as your father did, and you understand right?" she looked at him and he nodded, she continued "that we're not the richest family in the world and we have to earn money the hard way and pay for your education, and look now you're the greatest reward ever in our lives!"
And so she cried.
I understood my family's struggles, I knew that it's hard to make a living. He thought. There was scarifices had to be made, such as my parents working til their legs weep and as well having the pain that their only child was far away from them for eight years. He looked around him, friends, old nieghbors, relatives and family. And i thought back then they didn't care. . . what was i thinking back there. . .Why? I know, I, a special child? no I'm not special because we are special in different ways. I love them. I care. I miss them.
The grey and aging was now a bright home, and so this welcome lasted a long night.

The End

It's just a story just came to my head, and it's like a first draft so yea it can improve more!

See ya!

It's coming soon....

Places near you,
Radios near you,
Televisions near you,

You'll hear it from people,
You'll see in your computer,
You'll be doing it soon,

And guess what?
I'm really close,
Have you heard?
I'm really close,
Have you seen?
I'm really close,

No i'm not stalker,
Nor a pervert peeping tom,
Nor a governemnt raider,
Not even your one of friends.

I'm really close,
That's all i can say,
I'm really close.

- Joseph O.U

This here is poem i made, well...you guess what's coming soon! because it can be anything!

At Last I Blog! [after about a month since my arrival from Philippines]

Well, at last i found to blog! why? well i've been very busy lately. since i came back i've been engaged into choir practices [which i have high priority now since i don't really have much to do nowadays] where we prepare ourselves for december performances if i must say.
Another thing i've been doing is driving lessons (the actual driving), which i've started since last two saturdays ago. So far in my driving experiences during the lessons was that it's quite exciting though since being on the road and you're actually driving a car(especially if your teacher allows you to drive up to 80km/hr! va va vooom) but the most challenging bit the parking, driving around bandar and kiulap roundabout! (during lessons of course). And now, i'm now waiting when my teacher say you can go for the test! nerve wrecking really and annoying though since i cut my hair again....sighs it'll grow back anyways.

Okay, now my 3-4 weeks in philippines was very nerve wrecking experience! why? EXAMS!! and boy 2007 has to be my busiest and the most exams i've taken in one year! (IB mocks, IB final, Ateneo, La Salle, Driving theory and now soon the driving) Exams in the philippines i'll say one is really fricking tough like IB HL with extended material and the other is like IB SL, which means Ateneo De Manila University Entrance Exams was the toughest exam i've taken where the questions was like IB HL and the maths really killed me...where it was like HL! the english was okay with the essay to do and the critical analysis with the topping of time pressure where each question has to be answered within one to three minutes! While De La Salle College is like IB SL which was slightly easier than ateneo! which i liked! and also i did my first uni/college interview with de la salle, in which now I've been accepted!! which i am very grateful to be accepted! now i can't wait to start but! I have to go back to philippines in January(middle of jan) so i can get my results from ateneo! so yet again i might be gone for while!

my time in philippines, i'll say it was great! where i was able to experience the hardship which my grandparents faced everyday where i've learned alot about hardships of life in the philippines in which allowed myself to change alot. And the experience in philippines really prepared me what am i going to face while i'll be staying in philippines for a very loong time (but not to worry, i'll comeback to brunei during my semster breaks!). And when I'm gone, I promise you my dear friends i'll never forget all of you!

So now what's up with me lately while killing a lengthly time in brunei? well i mentioned it above right? i'll say some more here! one is experimenting with cooking where my mom helps me out in cooking, two online and chatting, three watching some anime and series i downloaded using torrent, four try going out and chill out, five go visit school this december, six voluntarlly help out in BGIC VI, and finally seven work out/diet where i must reduce my weight.

And so now i'll leave and be back as soon as possible! and remember every each one of you has greatness in you!

Off to the Philippines.....

yeap, i am off to the Pilipinas or Philippines [which ever would do] again after about a month in brunei. Well as usual the blog will be again temporary, well unused....i guess boredom might hit on high peak once again since other blogs i know are currently either dying, left behind, no changes or simply to put as being lazy! [so much for freedom of speech]

Okay in philippines, I'll taking two exams. On September 16 will be my exam for my numero uno choice university which is Ateneo de Manila! while ten day from the sixteenth will be my next exam on September 26 will be for my numero dos choice which La Sall College (University or College...big deal same meaning anyhow!). And after that will be nerve wrecking waiting for results til early next year and nerve wrecking relaxing as i would enjoy my time in philippines!

And so I'll be in Philippines from September 13th to october 12/13, so see you then when I'm back from a semi-hectic time in philippines! Miss ya'll!!

-please note i am not leaving for good yet, i'll be in brunei til april/may/june/july-
[leave a message on the T.R.S.T box or somewhere lah like friendster or facebook]

i got no idea....

I got no idea what to blog about, since my brain is practically dead and tired. One thing for sure is that everyday is like a usual day for us! like some go to school to study or teach, some go to work to get some well earn cash or get job experience, some stay in their luxary of home and relax or revise or do some chore, some go out almost every week to kill off boredom with their friends...so pretty much everyone has their "Usual Day".

I know i got 5 days til i go to philippines and 1 week and 2 days before my first entrance exam which will be in Ateneo de Manila University. An exclusive University, currently considered to be the toughest school to get in and also among the Big 3 of universities in philippines (UP, AdMU and La Salle). It's like a challenge for me try and blend in to the american system of education in philippines where it's my first time i'm taking entrance exams. And i believe in myself that i can pass it! because to me, Ateneo is my Uni to be. why? well it's a very nice university and it stands out to me, i rather be called an ateneonista rather than a la sallista. And la sallista sound like errrr.......never mind it's a rude one anyways, lets just say "La salsal".


I would like to make my adavance good bye to people who'll be leaving brunei soon since i'll be in philippines and back around October 12. Currently the only person i know that is leaving soon is my great friend alvin...it's sad for him to leave and i'll really miss him dearly as he became one of my close friends to me. I can still remember when we met during handball in year 6, he was i tony's team while i'm in javan's team..ahh goo memories of many hardships in secondary life. All i've got to say is farewell, best of luck to ya my dear friend...i'll miss you very much nowadays....

When i visited school yesterday, it was very nostalgic...well to see new year 7 enjoying the freedom, year 8 are still enjoying freedom, year 10 seems to be coping, year 11 are well to face the unexpected (well it is expected anyways) workload/coursework/exams, year 12 are looked like my times when i was in my early weeks of IB pretty free and easy going, year 13 well looked like us who are having fun with the pressure =P. Another one which is nostalgic is that friends being together in school (any year group), that i definately miss i have many memories, good and bad times....

And so, i go and go back to bed now....

Poem

It has been a very long time ever since i wrote a poem, so i wrote a poem and it looks nice so i'm gonna blog it! So what's it about? well it's the two most common people we always see at home and the first two people we when we are born! i guess that gave it away...it's called Parents.

It took me sometime and thoughts whether i should do a poem that relfects how some of us possibly feel about our parents because as we know parents can be nosey,privacy invaders, unsupportive, unpredictable, doubtful, uninfluencial, kind, caring, nice, friendly, dependable, trustworthy, undependable, untrustworthy, impressive, unimpressive, influencial, cool, funny, not funny, sad, down, depressing, blaming us for what we didn't do, accusing us, comapring us, proud about us, embarassed about us and the most popular case they think what's right for us. Well yea, they have good and bad sides we still have to look at the brighter side. They know since we're kids! they've been with us like almost for life!
So here goes a poem on Parents!

Parents

Where would be the children of the world be without parents?
The childen would be homeless with no love nor care,
How do we learn the ethics of several aspects of life?
The world we know would be very chaotic,
When would we be born without parents?
We wouldn't be even born but remain a lifeless soul,
Who was always there by our side during our childhood days?
Our parents are always there with us whereever and whenever,
What will happen to the world if our parents didn't even exsist?
The world would be nothing but a lifeless abandoned desert,
Why are we unharm evern though our parents are not there?
We are protected by their love and care within our hearts like spirits bonded.

So dear God,
We children of the world,
We thank thee for giving us parents!
We wouldn't have been born without them!
We would have lived a miserable childhood if they weren't there!
We would have never felt caring love!
And no matter how Great, good, bad or worst they are,
We are glad they're with us until now and forever!
Thank you.

Basketball, Cantor, Birthday Greetings and A FareWell

Basketball: The Brunei Cup

The past week i have been going to the basketball brunei cup! it started on August 25th and ended on Casey's/Christina's/Ninong Gil's birthday which was September 2nd. I missed the games on August 25th as i was focused on watching liverpool FC beat Roy Keaneo's Sunderland! and also the game on August 26th i missed it as i was practicing for cantor and doing cantor on that day! So yea....at least my dad told me the results of those games! hehe

so here it goes!!

August 25

Darwin All Stars vs LG SAkers - Winner LG Sakers! [i began to think that the korean team drank Sake before the game! haha]
Singapore Slingers vs Sta Lucia Realtors - winner Sta Lucia Realtors, The singapore team i consider it unpure to be honest, because it was filled with imports from america and austrailia! it only had two singaporeans! aiyo....

August 26

Jordan All Stars vs RP(Republika Pilipinas) Team - RP was victorious against a weak Jordan team!
Sta Lucia Realtors vs Darwin All Stars - Darwin won but it was fluke, Sta Lucia never lost that easily [watched some of their games in philippines]

August 27 - i watched these game filled with antipation! and saw chui san in the ticket booth! loong time i havent seen her for long time! then Saw julius! helping out!

Jordan All Stars vs Singapore Slingers - The Singapore team destroyed Jordan!! Jordan is now going bye bye!!
RP Team vs LG Sakers - always a hot blooded affair between korea and Philippines but seems that RP could have done better if they used their aggressiveness in the game could have won! but they lost as LG Sakers used the 3 Point Sharpshooters!

August 28 - I watched these games filled 1000% of antipation!!!

Darwin All Stars vs Singapore Slingers - Darwin won! no wait Singapore!! WON! Darwin is just above the table now and in level terms with RP. Singapore is very serious in getting the trophy after all! haha
Sta Lucia Realtors vs LG Sakers - ahh sake, tastes good everyday =P ermm Sta Lucia Won!! by 10 points! they've avenged their compatriots! they've played defensively well throughout the game!

August 29 - I was out with friends, having a good game of pool then over to rainforest and have a great game of DOTA! and it was also the last time i'll see lukman!
Oh yea, at the ticketbooth was wet and slippery, so yea i bought the tickets then left slowily..then chui called for me as i forgot my change! so i went but i slid (nearly slipping) and turned 180 degrees exactly infront chui's booth.....it was a slippery situation where i dont wanna sprain my ankle again...

Jordan vs Darwin - I came late for this game to my prediction wrong, where i've predicted Jordan to win but Darwin win and won the hearts of ISB students from year 10 to 8 but no matter they're just looking for publicity that's all! haha
Sta Lucia vs RP - Sta Lucia dominated this game like Liverpool vs Derby!

August 30 - i entered the stadium with pure boredom...because i already knew the outcome but i hoped for the best!

LG Sakers vs Jordan - farewell thee well jordan! Sakers crushed jordan like 15 - 0 thrashing!
RP vs Singapore - i hoped and cheeered RP to win! but they were just close of winning then tactical mistakes cost their victory! So singapore well won by 15 points ensuring RP never made a 4th period comeback.

August 31 - i didnt come to the game because i had choir practice so yea....but i knew the outcome of the games anyways!

Darwin vs RP - I predicted RP can do it! as they needed a win to bring them above darwin and go to the semis! but it was wrong, Darwin won by 7 points as my dad told me.
Singapore vs LG Sakers - I predicted Sakers to win, as i see them very dominant! So they won! haha singapore are in semis as well
Jordan vs Sta Lucia - It was a decisive decision for sta lucia as they deceided to play much weaker as they face jordan who searched for a least a win....but as i predicted sta lucia to win and yea they won! haha my dad told me they went to overtime because sta lucia were playing weaker!

the table looked like this!

Sta Lucia Realtors 5 wins 1 lost
LG Sakers 5 wins 1 lost
Singapore Slingers 4 wins 2 lost
Darwin All Stars 3 wins 3 lost <-they survived the drop!
RP Team 1 win 5 lost
Jordan All Star 0win 6 lost <- definately go bye bye!

September 1 - argh... cantor was okay and could have been better! and one bday was highly anticipative for her bday on the next day! ;) so i was too anticipated for the match

Semi: Korea vs Singapore - you gotta feel sorry for singapore..they really really wanna win the cup like west ham desperately need to keep Carlos tevez! but they lost to a stronger korean team who crushed singapore!
Semi: Aus vs Philippines - Sta Lucia was playing easy but fans of Darwin (ISB people/friends) believed that they are weak haha but they are wrong =P we are nice people and we dont people to get bored that easily! ahaha and yea i saw tactical mistakes by the coach! haha

September 2 - Birthdays of Christina, Casey and Ninong Gil! and i am hype for the final! wooohoo!!

Third place bout: Singapore vs Aus - na na na na hey hey goooooood bye aussies! they are gone and TKO as singapore thrashed them with a 47 point separation!
Final: Philippines vs Korea - Well this game was very intense and i spotted early mistakes of the coach of Sta Lucia but they never gave up as they became people's champ!! but in the end by 4 points korea won...well done korea! you guys are worthy opponents! but i must say Sta Lucia looked like they were going to win but they made many mistakes on the 4th period as they could have won but mistakes of tactics are made so they lost...i know this cuz i know my tactics! haha but anyways! Well done to korea for becoming the second time to win it! while philippines already won it 3times! so best of luck next year!

Third Time Cantor

Okay, i did cantor yesterday at church again for the third time. Well people were saying it's good, it went well and nice but to me well personally my pitching and tune had some problems..really i do mean it, my voice wasn't touching up on to the piano notes where sometimes i was highish and lowish..litterally [spelling?] i was somewhat out of tune in this third time cantor [another possible reason that i had pitching problems is that I've been shouting like crazy during the Basketball matches..so yea Shouting then singing equals a vocal chord too tired or maybe my lack of sleep, i've been sleeping very very later nowadays so yea]...sighs...at least i've been told that even though i was out of tunish it still sounded nice like a tenor trying his best. At least i get some more experience on doing solos! hehe Like EA (electronic arts) in their motto, "Challenge Everything" now i challenge myself to improve my pitching and breathing so YEA!! haha

A Farewell

Yes, a farewell to my good old pal Lukman..today was his day to leave brunei and go to indoneisa for Uni life, it is really sad to see him leave brunei where we [zan, nick, al, luk,rory and i] had great days in school days and as well fun times when there is school holiday break. So Farewell my dear comrade and we'll hopefully each other again soon!
Another farewell would go to Imran, even though i wasnt able to go to the airport around 6:30 but i'm sure i'll really miss ISB's Funnyman. I'll remember him as the man i met in tuition and the man who has a great sense of humor!
Also another farewell would go to my manga friend, Ninjutsu specialist Stan the Ninja! I'll surely miss Ninja stan! I'll longer have a ninja compatriot ! hahaha
Finally, Raushan i received an email from him that he left to malaysia last month and so bye bye my Liverpool mate! You'll Never Walk Alone!!

Second Time Cantor

Today, i cantored (or solo singer) for the Responsial Pslam and Gospel Acclaimination for the second time and nearly gonna be year since i joined the choir!(joined on the 15th Septmeber)
I was assigned the cantorship again on friday by one of our pianist, Faith, well she seemed to noticed that i never did cantor since June or noticed that i have never been picked to cantor! or maybe that i am one of the people who deemed as "young ones" in the choir since most of the violists are younger than me and only one girl named Brigette who is younger than me also or was it auntie irene's thinking that all the young ones should sing nowadays and give a break for the long time cantors! But neverthless i am always happy to take a shot at cantoring once in a while. Also, i am anticipating for the christmas events the choir will be doing soon this December! damn i am quite excited and very up for it!
So, today's cantoring was fine! i got nice reviews by various people, like my mum's friend said "i've improved and it was nice", Liz said "it was good", Gina the Pianist said "That was Great" and also "That was amazing" and auntie said "good!' and "it was very nice, you've improved keep at it!" and in my mind "errr i ran out of breathe in gospel acclaimination, in the "lord" bit." and the best one is Bishop who said "thank you for your singing, well done", he was practically watching me straight on while i was singing my cantor bit...so wuppee-do-da-day-way!!

Okay, i visited school's second day since openning for only 45 minutes and i hoped it was longer though. well it was great to see all me friends and some teachers again! like Hamizan (year 13), Wendy, Zachery,Sonny, Michael, Danny, Danial and Casey! I was really damn happy to see them again, its like almost two months since i last saw them! hahaha It was also great to see mr powell, ms tracy, mr holis, ms hancox, mr watkin and other teachers! hehe but it was said to know that there are people who left ISB which i didnt know til last minute (or already knew) like Yazid, Yi Ping and Imran quite sad really that they've left... sighs.....

So yea that's what i've been up to other than playing my Xbox 360 (most of the time far cry predator), reading some books (finished readng Good Omens, a funny and brillant book), buying some of usual stuff like PS2 games which i will be planning to bring to philippines since i left my playstation 2 there [which i do really miss alot but it's called detention from playing addictive games since my exams is coming soo soon already! and might plan to bring it back to brunei since i 'll be in brunei for many days, weeks and months but time is actually slow in brunei you know? but if you're in school its faster! and in phils time is actually damn faster!] and also revision for my entrance exam this september! well i only have 2 weeks from now til i go to philippines on 13th September until October 13 so i am there for a month.

So until then til my next blog post, see ya'll soon

100th

This is my 100th post wooohoooo!! hahaha [including my old blog in multiply]
I'd like to first thank my pet dogs in philippines, the birds, the clouds, the sun, the trees, floors, my laptop, my mp3, my mobile phone, my bags, my books, my bed, my table, my koala teddy bear, my brain, the cabinet, Astro, GMA 7, ABS-CBN,Q tv, Studio 23, Star World, Liverpool FC, ESPN, Star Sports, my passport and my shoes! errmmm who else am i forgetting? hmmmm My Friends!! Family!! Cousins!! Thank you guys ;)

Reasons why i started blogging? well, it was first a troublesome thing to do because i never get the hang of blogging while using my msn blog. Then later on, people inspired me to blog like my friends of course! So yea, i used msn spaces before then i moved to multiply and now blogger! so yippeeeee!!

I have currently nothing to blog about but this, I miss quite alot things really well number 1 is that my friends are beginning to depart into separate ways like raushan already in malaysia and Lukman this september and quite a few more leaving. Number 2 is School, that's right you heard me i miss school, why? well this monday will be a different day or feeling because as school starts I feel very very happy to see my friends again! but now it's a different story we wont be seeing each other in school [though i do have quite a few number of friends in school still]. Another thing is that i actually miss the workload even though i am already reviing my head off for my entrance exams this september in philippines. And finally number 3 is nothing =P hehe

Last night was choir practice, the mass songs were rushed as we have to practice for the choir concert this sunday night! well, the preparation for the concert was okay okay lah we are hoping we wont be very confused! and also memorizing songs is very hard indeed especially hitting the right notes! sighs....and now i am off to more revision! wuuppeee.....

Byes! and Happy 100th Post to my History of Blogging!

Back In Brunei

And I am back from a Three Weeks of Exciting, Fun and abit of Boredom in Philippines!
It's been a long time since i blogged! so here's my post of my three weeks of exciting Philippines! woohoo!

Arrival Day and Weekend
Friday noon was Arrival day and was never smooth on the way to my house but heck it was a party like dinner when it came dark when i arrive in my house in antipolo. There was loads of food and also lots of food to munch munch down like crazy! haha then played bball with my cuzs and damn i suck hahaha then showed them guitar hero 2 which they seemed impress when i played the song jessica in expert mode...but still could be better as i made small mistakes. Then On a Sunday early morning of 1am i woke up and i couldnt sleep on a satuday anyways, so we (my parents, grandma, my mom's sister and her husband and my two cousins Ivan and Star (aka Ashra Victoria)) went to manawag, dagupan which is my dad's province and it was only like a 5hour trip with stops at shops to take a pee and eat so yea. Then visited the church called Our Lady of manawag which is nice and really big ! hehe then after that went to my grand(dad's)parents resting place (or where they are buried), and talked to them in my prayers and may their souls be rest peacefully and blessed. Then we went to eat at this place which i forgot what it's called, a nice place has a lot of attractions =D and also this game where you throw dishes, cups, tvs, mugs, and other cheap breakable stuff which wwas used to express your anger and stuff so yea...

The First week
Okay first of the following 2 more weeks including this one, my routine was get up and play PS2 in the morning and also in the noon around 2:30pm i play ps2 but theree are days that interfered my game time =D haha okay moving on, monday is what i hate cuz its the SONA of the president, more lies, more good and too late achievements for the country like why are they introducing Green Philippines now? philippines has been popluted since i been there like 1990s. Then on a tuesday, i went to ateneo de manila university in quezon city (only an hour and a half drive) to take a hand in my applications and heck it looks sooooooo nice!!! and damn sooo many buildings which is like 100x the size of ISB and also 50x the size of JIS!! haha also saw some quite pretty girls there too like japanese and koreans ;) hhehe
The next day i went to La Salle Univeristy in Antipolo which much more closer to where i live! haha a 30 to 45 min drive. The uni here is has like that small town ISB feeling and its only like 50x size of ISB and just only 25x the size of JIS, the people here are nice too =D so now i await to take exams this september.
And on Saturday night after my cousin took the UP entrance exam, we went to Eastwood and damn what a place, filled with vibrant nightlife, sooo many things to do like arcading, disco and watch movies...but we went to watch the Simpsons!!! woohoooo heck it was damn!! FUNNY!! i laughed sooo hard and loud! haha oh yea, i also saw the known "sexy"(they say that other than bold/nude star) star in the movies also and same movie too! haha After that i treated myself with Starbucks coffee and damnnnnn i was in heaven when i first tasted their coffee but tongue says Coffeebean still better while my mind is in coffee heaven! [i could have discoed but my parents were there and my uncle and auntie teasing me because there are heck loads of cuties and pretty girls]
Same night on a saturday, i dreamed of my dreamgirl and this time i saw her nicely and carefully. She has the biggest and brightest smile i have ever seen, her eyes were like stars that glitter brightly even though she wore glasses and the most prettiest girl i have ever ever seen! (its not one of my friends too)....sighs...i just hope the dream becomes a reality! haha

Week 2
Now this week here is quite a laid back mood, where we only stayed at home and watched TV! and it was fun! hahaha i also finished Resident Evil 4! haha on the monday we went to watch Ratatouille! funny mouse movie (it was a public hol anyways) and then on a friday, we went National Bookstore where we went books shopping =D i bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, mandarin pocket book and a japanese pocket book and also my review books which i am reviewing constantly nowadays ahaha the weekend was fine =D haha nothing much happened anyways

Week 3 Final Week
Busy Busy Week! we went shopping for things to give and personal things as well, i did my shopping for books like Good Omens, Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix and The Godfather Returns, also bought CDS like Gloc 9, Maroon 5, Bamboo and rivermayam and also a VCD called Jose RIzal! haha then i arcaded all day loong! with my new timezone card and had a heck load of fun!!
On Monday, i Finished reading harry potter and the half Blood prince, then started reading the Deathly hollows and finished it around thursday! haha then i started reading The Godfather Returns! haha then so the week ends with me in my other cousins' place and using their computer for my own leisure and did some catching up with naruto and with some friends =D

And so the days came by like a speed of light as it reached Monday Aug 13, where i arrive in brunei and so catch up and cleaning stuff =S

Now, i'm just writing down and remembering the requests from friends they want me to buy for them such as polvoron to a souvinr[spelling please]. I also wrote a list what i plan to buy for myself in philippines like some new books to read to albums of my fav pinoy singers/bands.

My Family Blood

Okay, over the many years of my life people have thought of me being chinese because of eyes and sometimes filipino because of skin color and only once in my life bruneian....yes once in the wet market -_-" so i'm here to break down my nationality through my blood where i've asked my parents about my grandparents bloodline nationality also asked my grandparents' bloodline as well.

First of all is my dad, from a first glance he looks chinese but then he's not, he's filipino. So, when i asked him about my grandparents [since my dad's parents have passed away (god bless their souls in heaven)]. He broke it down through his name which is M_ _ _ _ _ _ Evanhalista [i forgot the spelling] Untalan, seems quite spanish? well its true! my grandmother in his side is chinese-filipino [he forgot the surname of my grandmother and said it's chinese] where he experienced being taught some chinese in which he has forgotten -_-" now to my dad's father, he's a spanish-filipino descent which can be seen through my dad's fair skin. Furthermore, he broke down to me the parents of my grandparents were mixed blooded as well! it was fascinating to see that i have chinese blood and spanish blood!

Now, to my mom's side, first glance she doesnt look very much like a filipino as she's quite fair but then she's also filipino. The full name is S_ _ _ _ _ _ Santiago Ognita. Okay my grandparents in this side of the family is still alive and living well! =D okay first my grandpa, looks like an everyday filipino at first look and guess what? he's full blooded filipino! haha even though some thought in my mom's ward 3 Ognita is pretty much sounds like Jap like Onita. Now Santiago, my grandma looks very very much chinese! but nope filipino also but background family, her mother was chinese-filipino as well whilst her father spanish-filipino as well! i can see the chinese looks in my grandma and abit of the spanish looks when she showed me her younger days photos.

So, lets break it down now shall we?
I have two grandmothers are chinese-filipino but one with spanish blood, then one grandfather with full filipino blood and one spanish-filipino blood.
So, overall I'm 1/4 chinese, 1/4 spanish. 2/4 filipino...but then my filipino and bit of chinese blood is very dominant than my spanish however, my dad says "your skin is a trademark of a mixture of spanish and filipino, tanned and fair. As when you were born until the age of 10. you were much fairer than me and seemed like a foreigner" thats nice of him to say that, but i look more chinese when i'm fairer =P

So yea, this post was part of my previous research last year where i wanted to discover further of my family bloodline where i asked my parents and grandparents about the bloodline of nationality. hehe i was really fascinated!

Imagine my name is Joseph Santiago Ognita Evanhalista Untalan [soooo long!]...so i'm staying with Ognita and Untalan even though some say its not spanish but it is =P

=============================

Now for today's post! I did my exam for driving theory and it was easy like doing a wand movement in the new harry potter game [which i finished and know some parts of the story..lucky very little spoilers]. And yea that's it!
haha i'm now currently downloading some Jazz Music as i discovered that a timbre voice in singing is very much suitable for jazz! but still i really like the other genres like rock, broadway,pop,r&b and so on.
One thing i wanna watch now is Hairy otter and the fried chicken order [harry potter and the order of the phoenix] and live hard 4.0 [die hard 4.0]...and some other movies i've been recomended to watch.

So,Sooooo loooong! and that's all folks!

[next post next week, about....something =P]

My Top 5 poems i have wrote

okay, i am bringing back 5 of my favorite poems which i wrote! waaahaay! hmmm so what's numero uno? it my first official poem i wrote and also its still hasnt got a title! so here's numero uno:

[No Title]

Everyday is like a new day,
Everyday time flies like sand,
Everyday friends sees each other and greet for a while,
Everyday seems like we're getting older every minute.

But does a new day seems like yesterday?
And time is just slow moving snail seems like its forver?
And we meet new friends but does it means that we can make enemies?
And aging seems like we're moving on without even noticing?

Every year a man and woman falls in love,
Every year there's good news to be heard,
Every year is changing our lives,
Every year we're still in the same place.

But does this love lasts for a small time? a while? forever? or hopes that it's everlasting?
And does it seems that there more bad news than good news?
And as the year goes by new things changes our mind,
And we're moving one place to another each year.

Lifetime of many chances created for us,
Lifetime of many success stories being told,
Lifetime of many blooming potential,
Lifetime of such great hapiness in our life.

But these chances that are created are always miss chances right?
And every success there is always failure on the back of success,
And every blooming potential is always wasted,
And when there's hapiness there is always saddness in some point of our life.

Forever we'll be men and women full of cheers and jeers
Forever we'll be inspired through many things
Forever we'll be motivated by many things
Forever friendships will last like never a ending song
Forever we'll make new friends and meet many people in our lifetime

But we men and women are somewhat not in cheers and jeers as the battle yet to be won,
And inspiration is always ruined by many drawbacks of life,
And motivation does not last forever as its only short term
And friends come and go in our life but yet hoping to meet them again
And yet making new friends is great but do they know you well enough?

Memories are lastingMemories of childhood friends are the best
Memories of school and previous friends lasts forever
Memories of being in love, falling in love
Memories of our life

But our brain is not a terabyte as we can only store a certain amount of memory
And our child friends do they remember you or they forget you?
And does our previous friends and school remember us?
And love does it really last? unless you find the perfect match...
And can we remember all our experiences in our life?

Let me ask you this,
Do you know your life?
Do you know what love is?
Do you know your friends really well? or do they know you?
Do you remember anyone in your past?
Do you remember your past experiences?
Do you love your pancreas?
Do you love your life?

Most importantly is that are you enjoying your life?
Even though it's been a rough road,
Filled with bumps of happiness and sadness
Thus i ask you are you enjoying your life as it stands?
And yet hoping that your future would be great til the very end of life?

now numero dos fav is calle friendship:

Friendship

We met for the first time like Stranger in a mist,
We began talking as a new life began,
A feeling that something new is spurring,
Then noticed I made a friend.

Friendship have been made,
Yet we've become closer,
We are hand in hand through hardship and troubles,
We cheered each other up during down moments.

This friendship is amazing,
With many laughter sounds in a distance,
Excitement through many radical moments,
Joy in our eyes like fiery spirit of enlightment.

I realized I have made a great friend,
A friend that will be at my side through everything,
A friend that I will trust,
A friend I know that you will never betray me.

But there is a dark side,
Will this friendship last?
I've trusted you and be with you through many hardships,
And This is how will it end?
A sorrowful and painful end?
Or a joyful and tearful end?

Okay......and now what we've all been feeling at most times nowadays...BOREDOM!

Bored

You are sitting in your room,
Watching marching bands of ants,
Looking at your window,
And now thinking,
But yet what is this called?
Where you just sit in one place,
And do nothing?

Is it because you lost interest,
Completely nothing to do,
And thinking that going online would kill boredom?
Thinking about what you're going to do next?
Well never mind, you're losing interest.

What is this feeling?
Seems like frozen in time,
And time is slow as a snail,
Losing interest.
What is it called?
Everyone has been through this,
Almost everyday they've faced this feeling.

It is called boredom,
Boredom like a natural feeling for humans,
Commonly attacks when you're blank,
Is there a solution?
If there is what is it?
The one and only solutionIs to actually do something!
Seriously, get off that seat and do something!
I know we're bored and lazy,
But please get up! And do something!
You can walk amongst the mist,
Or go online and talk amongst your bored comrades.

Why?
Sitting here writing this poem is getting such a chore,
That i actually bore,
Yet realizing that technology makes us such a git,
That we rely on them so much that we bore ourselves!
That we bore ourselves by surfing the waves of websites,
Nor we don't do anything but let the poor machine do everything by itself.

number 4 is sleepaholic! i love sleeping! hehe

Sleepaholic

Do we need mr sandman to help us sleep?
Do we count sheep or something to help us sleep?
Yet we automatically fall asleep for many hours,
But why?

Could be that our bodies has excreted all our energy?
Is it because someone owes us some hours of sleep.
Then how long do we have to sleep?
We don't know how long we sleep as we just sleep.

Because it's a such joy to sleep many countless hours,
With many sleepless nights of work and doing other stuff,
The bed is home for me, it's heaven of sleeps,
Long dreamy days and nights is like a homeplace.

But wait having slept for many countless hours,
have i forgotten where did i sleep?
Did i slept on the benches outside at park?
What did i suppose to do?

Oh no! mayhem to me! I'm late for something!
It's been a year of sleep? I'm surprised that i slept for that long,
I blame you Mr Sandman and the countless sheeps i counted,
Look what you've done to me.

I have fallen in love with sleep,
Sleep is like my drug now,
So please don't disturb me,
I'm going back to my wonder land of dreams.

But wait i'm getting addicted to sleep,
but then sleep is good!
No, i must wake up and smell the morning air!
The morning air smells like sweet feaces in the air,

Oh I miss my dreamy heavens,
I want long hours of this drug.
I have become,
A Sleepaholic

And now numero 5, something we've been cursed with through our education life! procasination!

Procasination

When you've got nothing to do,
It strikes to you very unexpectly,
Feels like you gotta work or do something,
But it strikes to you like a virus urging you.

It Urges you to stop and be blank for hours,
This virus affects every single soul in the whole world,
It even has it's own website in the net,
The virus spreads an instant.

What is this virus?
Is it the Ebola virus but it couldn't be,
Is it AIDS/HIV? no that STD,
Is it cancer? no it's not.

So what is it?
It's call procasinating,
It strikes you like silent ninja,
Getting you not to work for many hours,

How can we stop this?
It's very simple and easy,
Be Bored and have lots of fun!

soo yea! poems i wrote! and now for the today's post!
In church choir, something good has been happening! which is that no one is making cantor! since the big bosses and Pianists has the power and choosing all the ones who they some how prefer rather choose some people who has one go once only and the ones who hasnt yet sang! haha i am just kinda glad that i am not cantoring...but ummm rather disappointed i wanna cantor again, i can do it i believe i can do it!.....i seem to become the boy with the loudest vocals in the group now...since i learned that you need power of voice [volume and to show your vocals], right pitching [feel the music rather than reading the notes] and right tempo [feel the beat and speed of the music]...so yea....
Now for some exciting news, i think and i got a feeling that i might be singing my first recital or solo next week since i've been told to memorize the lyrics, tempo, pitch of let it be.....so yea i am looking forward to it!
This week driving theory test! YES! haha i am actually happy that i have a test! hahaha since exams are over anyways! errr i am both confident and saying to myself i can do it!

errm now i go sleep, me tired, me sleepaholic! me got to wake up soon anyways...adios!

Please Read: being a guest blogger is optional now! if you want to then inform me!

I.......

I passed! with a classical IB pass in the words of Mr powell himself! in my words of happiness i am soooo fricking happy! happy like my fellow classmates! all our hard work for 2 years of gruelling work, CAS, essays, TOK, Extended Essay and Internal Assesments is paid off! it's time for a big major yupee do-dah celebration as we passed!
And yet now it's time to look forward to the future of many millons of challenges both personal/private and professionally! like ummm lots of personal things in life and chellenges in universities!

Okay this was happened [let me finish my ultimate mocha], now umm i woke up early once again for no reason and i was all shakey! nervous like shake, rattle and rolling. so i looked like i'm in a very very bad mood and when i got up. So went to the music lesson and i did really good with let it be by the beatles and now starting on a new song which is you'll be in my heart by phil colins from the tarzan album of disney. I went online and good ol'nickeh told me go and see mr powell if you wanna see your results cuz he already got his and i could tell he passed with his big grin among his emoticons in my mig33! hehe

Now at school, as i walked to mr powell's room i was all nervous and shakey and my response level was at the lowest. Raushan just got out of mr powell's room and he looked okay and looked like he passed (smsed me later saying he passed). As i entered mr powell's office, i was 100% nervous and 100% shakey, there was shida, matt, fiqah and ms decue [spelling?] with mr powell waiting for results. Fiqah got her's once i entered and she didnt looked happy......so i guess she ummm never mind but Best of luck and wishes to her! =D then i got mine and mr powell said out loud "a classical IB pass" and handed me the piece of paper and i was in joys of joys and with small tears! i passed!! woohoooo i got level 4 for mandarin which i couldn't really believe since i know i wrote a heck load of giberish in the paper 2 exam! hahaha

I got in the car and told my mom i passed and she was in tears, and she said "thank god and mother mary, they've answered my prayers" i too said to myself "yea...god, christ and mama mary have helped me and guided me throughout my hardship in IB life so i could survive and pass my exams" after that i called my dad and he was in all with joys too! then my beloved grandmother who took care for me since was a little young baby was happy and filled with joy also same reaction as my mom. Then my mom's sister who was also happy for me, and then my mom's bro who said would hit me with a baseball bat if i fail so called him and told him i fail at first....then said Jokes! lang po! i passed! then he said oh, your punishment is a toothpick with a hotdog! hahaha ang galing he said [meaning sooo good or nicely done]. Then to my godfather ninong gil, who was also happy for me! hehe then i told it to some of friends too that i passed! hehehe Then i emailed tsui tracy laoshi that i passed my IB and told her i got level 4 for mandarin as well thanking her for everything she taught me in mandarin during IB! hehe......

And sooo now, what the future awaits? ummmm university application are done and set to be handed in, after applying i'm gonna look for a job in brunei to help me de-bore myself in brunei. And also the wait to get my hands on that diploma this august! ooooo hehe i might have some plans hehehe

Okay there's the post. Ummm i watched transformers after gyming around in the gym. and guess what i loved it and i felt like a kid remembering all those cartoon faces of optimus prime, jazz, bumblebee, megatron and megatron and now they are graphically alive! woohoo! the movie mde me laugh with the usual transformers comedy manner "we learned english in the world wide web" "ebay" "japanese robots"

The movie didnt disappoint people who followed and remembered transformers since young wee little kid dreaming of how cool their parents' cars could transform and building with a lego blocks in attempt to make a optimus prime! But one thing disappointed me is that Prowl the autobot police car was Barricade a decepticon police car -_-" i was litterally sad to see one of my favorite autobot characters was turned bad...snif....sighs that's hollywood i guess changes here and there like spidey 3 and x-men 1 to 3.

the movie grade i'll give is a A++ even though it excluded one of my fav autobot prowl and also my fav decepticon soundwave (a robot that transforms into a tape recorder), giving credit that they've provided what every kid of heart like me to see one their most favorite cartoons come to life and the quality of graphical detailing of the bots and the acting and action as well comedy was well done! even though it added abit of romance which was still good anyways soooooo Big TWO THUMBS UP!!!

Some did you know facts:

1) Transformers the first appearance of the transformers was as toys in japan during the 1970s

2) Transformers was originally an anime in japan during the 1980s til the end of 1990s

3) By the late 1980s to mid 1990s, it was airred in america which became a very big hit!

4) by 2000, transformers was fully americanized and now forgotten about it's original anime start in japan

5) first appearance of transformers in america was combination of G.I joe cartoons, meanwhile marvel comics got the go from the japanese writers to write the transformers in marvel comics

6) there are many types of robots in transformers world. well known are the autobots and decepticons, but there are others dinobots, constructicons, quitessons, maximal (autobots during the beast wars if i remember in 1999), Pedacons (decepticons during beast wars), vehicons, minicons and energon....so many eh like pokemon! haha

7) The most popular lyrics of the transformers made famous by some american dude who first produced the cartoons was "transformers, robots in disguised [robotic voice like], autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the decepticons" and in the 2000s was this "Transformers, more than meets the eye. Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the decepticons! Transformers Robots in disguised"

8) there are approximately 15 sections or era of the transformers [wow soo long eh] so far i finished the beast war era, armada era and the first era "The Transformers" era.

9) Currently there are two movies of the transformers that are currently known. One is the first one in 1986 [ i watched it in 1995] which was called The Transformers: The Movie, and the current one to this date Transformers...and guess what? they've used the same old voice actor for optimus prime ever since the first american transformers

10) final one, there are 10 games of the transformers! wooohooo! i currently have Transformers in 2004, Transformers The Official Move game, Beast wars and beast wars transmetal!

Soo yea this was post to dedicate to one of most favorite cartoons since was a little boy, who dreamed that cars can transform into gigantic robots! so adios good byess
