My Libera Story

My only wish is to see you guys perform right before my eyes. :)

Just lately I received a message both on my FB and Libera360 account informing me that I was the first winner of their Libera Philippine Project contest. The prize? An autographed Libera Peace album. 


I hope it would arrive really soon since I've already sent them my mailing address.


I've been a fan of Libera since last year-April 2010; but I haven't posted a thing on 'How I came to know them' yet. Uh, I just observed lately that it has been a trend for Libera fans to post articles on how they met the best boys choir in the whole world.


So, here's how I came to know them.


Just before I left for Baguio last year, I went to a CD store with my friends to just randomly look for any interesting albums on sale.We have no plans of buying anything anyway. Then, I was browsing along the Classical section of the store when I saw their album Libera New Dawn. I was very much intrigued to see this small strip of yellow paper which says, "Featuring the song Bayan Ko" and to think that 'that small strip of yellow paper' was posted on a foreign album of who-knows-what. (note: I have no idea who they were back then).


As I was browsing the net after getting back home from Baguio, I decided  to search for them and I realized they had JUST visited the country that month AND they were actually guest performers of Showtime in one of the show's episodes. They sang Bayan Ko perfectly and I had goosebumps while watching the video.


I decided to buy my first Libera album- New Dawn before leaving for college but then ended up buying their 2-disc album Eternal. It was where I heard my very much favorite song Orinoco Flow (though Sanctus is also another favorite since its tune was that of Canon) After that I had New Dawn and Peace. I'm still saving up for their Angels in Concert DVD. And just last month I finally had the courage to ask my aunt abroad to buy me the Peace Deluxe edition. I hope to have it before June 2012 so that I can at least use the 18-month calendar included. >_<


P.S. 
The first time I told my best friend, Aubrey, about Libera I was surprised to know that she had known it years before me. Okay, so she's in a Catholic choir while I've never been a member of any choir before. The nun who's been training them was a 'sort of' avid Libera fan. 


It was also surprising to discover that we both admire Tom Cully among all other members (that was sort of bias.lol.) 

But all of them are really good at singing. I mean, they're NOT there just for nothing. They're 'The LIBERA'.

Libera all the way~!!!

Question: 

What happens when the anime character you've been crushing on since sixth grade has a bishounen counterpart in real life?

+First found out about Bill Kaulitz when I was looking for random bishie guys over the net.


sort of flow chart on how I came to know Bill Kaulitz...

START: looking for random movies to download this summer
---> came across Flipped
--> Met Callan McAuliffe 
--> 'googled' for Callan's pictures and saw a tumblr post of him along with a guy named Eric Saade
-->thinks that Eric Saade is the best teen pop singer and shared it with seatmate
--> seatmate recommended Andrej Pejic in return
--> got overwhelmed with Andrej's bishie-ness; shared it on FB
--> FB friend saw it and recommended Bill Kaulitz 
--> 'googled' Bill Kaulitz and noticed he resembles Athrun Zala
-->came across a tumblr account dedicated to Asucaga
--> told the admin about observation regarding the supposed 'real life' Athrun (using the ask box)
--> admin compared/edited pictures of Bill and Athrun
-->posted it on blogger account (after asking permission BUT admin hadn't replied yet)

Answer: 

Confirm. Then boast about it. You now have made your ultimate anime dream come true.

That is,for your anime crush to be real. <3

Ocean

"Scanning for some random magazines on Booksale, I came across the magazine I've been looking for late last year."

I came there to look for a Nursing Diagnosis handbook. I came out with the thing I've wanted most since I first saw its small icon printed on the last page of NatGeo's Gulf Spill issue.

I finally get to hold my very own copy of NatGeo's special issue Ocean after months of waiting and searching (just when I almost totally forgot about it).



I found this book on the lowest deck in one of our library's bookshelves.
I was actually looking for a Chemistry book to borrow when I got so tired of scanning along those book titles that I suddenly decided to squat on the floor.
Then just like a miracle, about five marine biology books placed neatly together came in sight (right in front of me!). So I borrowed one of the books and totally forgot about the main reason why I came to the library.

"I'm gonna be the very best, like no one ever was."

Until the next Census of Marine Life.

See yah~!

Coat of Arms

Today, we had our first laboratory class in Nursing 10 (Nursing Fundamentals) . I came in really late. I thought the class was supposed to start at 8. I didn't hear the announcement yesterday that we'd be starting at 7:30.

Anyways, when I came in the assigned area, my group mates were busy drawing their coat of arms.

Each of us were required to make one which contains the following:

1. Thing you treasure the most
2. Greatest achievement so far
3. Goal as of the moment
4. The thing you want to be remembered most for

The first one I made was completed in less than twenty minutes. And I think it's messy.

The cross:: God is the one I consider most valuable in my life. Love God and everything else will follow.

The fish:: My goal is to take up marine biology years from now.

That weird-thing-on-the-upper-right-side-is-the-UP-logo :: My greatest achievement so far is being in UP

The droplet and the flame :: I want to be remembered as someone who had done something to save the ocean and as someone who kept burning for God.


After explaining my drawing, our teacher told me that I should ask myself if I'm really happy in taking up Nursing. In some sense, I am. I do not hate this course and I've actually gained a lot of experiences which made me appreciate this path I'm taking. BUT in all honesty, I cannot say I AM very happy with this course.

>> A few minutes ago, I just finished my second work which is actually a revised edition of the first one. I'll be writing my insights below it later on and we'll be passing it tomorrow.

I actually realized I had gold and silver colored pencils so I used them.

I just drew a shell and some seaweeds below instead of that fish thing. The eagle finally learned how to fly and landed on top of the shield which means I only have three symbols left.

I know I suck at drawing AND coloring. I just have to post them to remind me of how I think while I'm 17. I'll be reading this post again years from now and probably when that day comes, if I were asked to draw a coat of arms containing the same things, I might draw the same one but in a much better way or maybe, all the symbols in here will change but I hope the cross would still remain.

Gee~! Why am I always late?!?

Sa Lobby ng Dorm

Thank You God for Nanay~!!!

There I was sitting in front of the TV when this dorm mate of mine (whom we usually make fun of) sat right next to me. She then asked me to translate a letter (which was written in Filipino) to English.

At first I was pissed off...But as soon as I read the letter, I found out it was for her mother so I decided to help her out. Here she was trying her best to write a letter to her mom and here I am with no single plan on what to do for Nanay tomorrow. Oh, there's one actually. I'm going to text her "Happy Mother's Day!"

So as soon as I finished translating it, she thanked me and said "I te-text ko 'to sa Mama ko." It was one back-to-back notebook page long. It might consume more than three text messages I told her but she said it's okay.

Guess this reminded me to slow down and be like "the school grader me"; back during the days when I used to make a card for my parents during special days and even during normal ones. It doesn't hurt to be cheesy at times, I think. Especially if it's for them.

So I just felt like doing a haiku:

My life was from hers,

And she lived hers for others,

She is a mother.
