The Ocean of My Being

Classical and instrumental music have been my favorite kinds of music ever since I learned to appreciate music other than the songs we learned in class back in Grade School. Beautiful music always gives me the feeling of euphoria or what most would call "high." This is the reason why I usually don’t like other people (especially people who don’t know me much) to see me when I "really" listen to music. I go nuts while listening to MY kind of music. Good thing most people my age don’t really like the kind of music I love listening to. :) Music is one of the things that are sure to make me cry. I used to get teased a lot because of this (well, I still do). Music makes me want to close my eyes, spread my hands and just be free from everything. My senses become alive when I hear beautiful music. When I watch movies, music is one of the most important things I consider. Maybe I was a musician in my past life, I don’t know. All I know is that music resides in my ...

My special thanks go to Balbonics and Adam for the questions they posted. I chose to answer the questions of both " posters " (is this actually the right term?) because, well, they're the only ones I got. Hehehe:) Not that I expect many people read my blog, but the idea of getting questions got me quite excited. Anyway, here are my answers. Adam's questions: 1. Why the name BabyPink? -- I chose BabyPink because I love PINK (My favorite shade is baby pink . You know, like sweet, light pink.) and BABY is one of my favorite words in the world. Oh, and, well, I love babies. :) 2. If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be? -- Disney's Mulan... :) 3. If you won a million US$, what would you do with it? -- I'll give half to my parents, a quarter to charity, and the rest I'll use to buy things that I've always wanted and gifts for my family and friends.:) 4. Would you rather have a man who loves you but whom you don't love or a man whom...

There's this blog chain that has caught my attention. It goes like this, you ask me five questions . These questions can be of any kind, but, it would be more fun if they were really weird and out of this world . You can ask anything, from the color of my favorite blanket to what's under my bed. Just shoot! After I pick the best ones, I shall post the answers on this blog and I also get to ask the person/s (the "poster" of the chosen questions) five questions, which s/he will also answer on his/her blog. S/he will, of course, have to ask his/her readers to do the same so the chain would continue. :) Thanks! (You can post your questions on my Comment/ Pink Thoughts Board.)

I have seen almost all our local stars here in the Philippines. Sometimes I love to look at them, sometimes I couldn't care less. I have always thought of our stars as ordinary people with extraordinary jobs. While I am a movie fan and I love to hear stories and controversies about our stars, I've never really been the "shriekin' fan" (except, of course, if we're talking about Hideaki Takizawa, Denzel Washington, Ken Zhu (of F4), Orlando Bloom, Bernard Palanca, Prince William of Wales, Maksim Mrvica and my ultimate crush - David Trezeguet). Okay, I AM a "shriekin’ fan!" While I am my "fan-y" self, I'd like to write more about it. So, today, I will list down the names of the celebrities who, so far, have had my eye almost go out of their sockets and my mouth drop to the floor, or simply had me starstruck! These are, of course, some of the (few) celebrities I totally love! Well, duh… Oscar Orbos -- I have always, always loved Os...

As I've written in my first blog entry, Ala Paredes is my current "object of admiration" and, in a way, my "muse". She is really something. And, why am I writing all this? Well, because I FINALLY MET HER in person last night! Man, was I ecstatic! I was excited and happy beyond words! After meeting her, I was like floating on air. So, that's how fans feel when they meet their favorite star or celebrity. :O! The story of THE night: I and two of my friends went to the RCBC Plaza to watch Footloose (an Ateneo Blue Rep play). The play was great. Every single one of them (actors) did a swell job! Nobody was willing to be outstaged by another, not even the dancers. The dances were awesome! The music (songs) was great. I cried three times and laughed a gazillion times! It was really good. After the 10 minute intermission, Ala went onstage. It took so much effort to stop myself from shouting in glee. I was so happy I wanted to cry. My friends and I c...
