Rewind to Tuesday night... I attended a concert at UP, "EVEolution Celebrating Women" for the benefit of HIV/AIDS and Survivors of Violence Against Women. Not many came, what a bummer. The bands that played were all good but I seriously doubt if they actually knew what the concert was about. pfft... I didn't know that Eppy Quizon has a band and that his brother ronnie sings like an epileptic psycho. There were also several women bands din. Astig! I forgot the name of this group they were really inspiring, progresibong awitin ba... hmmm will find out soon. Akafellas, Pido, Paolo Santos, Brigada, DJ Mike, and Session Road were all good. Marcus the ex-ehead rendered a bastardized "My Way" but it was cool never thought it can be turned into a rock song (walang ganyan sa states). Anyway the short docus that they showed were quite informative. Did you know AIDS was discovered in 1981 in some remote area in S.Africa? That in 1984 the Philippines recorded its 1st AIDS victim? That there are now thousands of Filipinos with HIV/AIDS and majority of which are women? That almost 15 females/women are rape almost everyday? That the condom is 98% effective if use from start to finish? That there are a lot of unreported rape cases and abuses on women? That condom sense is common sense? That abstinence is a better way to avoid getting diseases? I wish people will be more aware of these information and much more. We tend to set these things aside and blindly pursue the call of our needs. WARNING: You only have one life to live, so live it well and be responsible enough... not just to yourself but to other people as well. RESPECT is something that needs to be internalized by Filipinos especially the youth.
Forward to today... Slept to much yesterday... Lugaw-mode right now... LSS: That's All (you Rod stewart you!)
Looking forward to lunch, Kopi Roti bun... Hmmm... Friday and Saturday will be on party-mode by then... Planned a visit to Manaoag on the 30th; food for the soul... classes, pfft... gym... pfffft!!!... 3 novels waiting to be read... poems swirling in my head... dreams yet to be dreamed, of far away lands waiting to be explored... the radio will be playing for 2 weeks... my bed awaits... life, can't get any sweeter than this or maybe it can...See you all in two weeks.... zzzzzzzzz
