Hey Journal!: Skipping Summer 2013

2013

Summer classes suck! I know. I used to think it’s all right but now, I take it back. Yes, it may be the worse season of the year for being so hot (all thanks to Global Warming), it’s also the best time to chill and enjoy the waves of the beach, and party with friends.

But being in school sucks all that summer fantasies. With a heavy heart, I have to skip all those summer happenings just to finish all my courses for my second degree. But then, all those summer tweets, Instagram posts and even FB posts are making me like a green-eyed monster!

While some of them are taking the plunge:

I’m here being like:

While some of them are enjoying the sun with their best swimwear:

I’m here being like:

While some of them are dancing’ to those awesome summer beats:

I’m here being like:

While some of them are having the time of their lives:

I’m here being like:

While they’re surrounded with friends:

I’m left here with:

But since the Summer Semester is coming to an end, I am looking forward of meeting my friends again for the upcoming semester. Although, skipping a Summer Adventure makes my year incomplete.

(B.T.W. Sorry for using Justin Bieber GIFs. I can't think of any other gifs that's summer related.)

Writing "Someday"

Britney Spears

They say that the best love songs are written with a broken heart. I guess that is true. Britney Spears once said in her MTV documentary “For The Record”,

...Your Music is the reflection of what you’re going through

So when writing a song, you don’t just fill in the music and lyrics but you’re also pouring out your soul and letting it all out in a song.

I have been writing songs since I was in high school but I always keep them to myself. Yes, they were a bit cheesy but when listening to them closely, it was a part of me that I had everything all out.

These past few days were a bit dim for me. So dim that it came to a point that I want to let it all out in a song instead of crying about it. That’s when I created this track, titled “Someday”.

Basically, it’s about love unrequited and a state of feeling when you are being ignored by the one you love most. The state that I am in with my current flame inspired me to write this track.

It started with the line “Someday/ Someday/ I’ll find my way/ to spend me your time.” From this line, I was also inspired by my friend’s dilemma (which is surprisingly similar to mine) that his partner was far too busy to communicate with him.

The song continued to its chorus, “I was born to love you/ and born to be with you/ that’s what I want to do.” It is a line stating that despite of being ignored, one is still willing to love unconditionally.

Here are the lyrics:

Someday, Someday

I'll find my way

To spend me ur time

Someday, Someday

I'll find my way

to have u mine

When our love started,

Whole new world caved in

It was a paradise I could find

Suddenly something changed

Is it me, or my ways

of showing you what I felt inside

Coz I was born to love you

Born to be with you

and that's what I wanna do

Coz I was born to love you

and born to be with you

and that's what I love to do

I Miss You

Someday, Someday

I'll find my way

To spend me ur time

When our love started,

Whole new world caved in

It was a dream- come-true I could find

Suddenly something changed

Is it me, or my ways

of showing you what I felt inside

And here’s the track. Check it out:

Hey Journal: On A Blank Page

Blank Page

Hey Journal!

It has always been my dream to create a show and to express my love for media arts. (That’s why I produced those podcasts, “Britney: In The Mix”, “Lady Gaga Central” and “PHB: The Podcast” in the first place.) And this year, I finally had a chance to make our own docu, and this time, it’s for our ETHICS class, with the topic of Premarital Sex.

With the help of my ever-intellectual teammates, we’ve come up with a show format that we can use up until we graduate.

The name of the show is BLANK PAGE. It’s some sort of a documentary program that may have i-Witness, The Correspondents and Reporter’s Notebook, a run for their money. Of course, since we’re amateurs, everything still seems…amateur.

Filming it was soooo fun! After days of shooting, storyboard making, video editing, and dubbing, our final product’s ready.
