August 23, 2012 1:20 PM, I decided to check my facebook account. i checked our batch page and my friend Martin posted a pdf about the board passers. At first, I was in denial, until I received a text message from my friend Isa with the numbers 99.33%. In my thoughts, I told myself, "O sh*t yung passing rate na ba ng boards to?" Immediately, I told mama about it. She became so quiet, I think it was her sign of anxiety. Cause if only the passing rate was 100% I could have been more at ease but Isa told me there were 2 who weren't able to make it. I was just so nervous about it. What if  my name isn't there? What if I was one of the two. Asdfgfjdgdhetehrgdthrndhdgdhdjdhd!!! Okay, imagine my heart pounding that time. I tried to check the prc site but it wasn't accessible. We tried to wait for any news but nothing came in. Until I remembered Martin having an access to the list. I called him on the phone and asked him if my name was there. It was like this...

Martin: Hello?
Ninj: Martin ako to, si Ninj.

Martin. O bakit?

Ninj: Pwede pacheck if nasa list ako?

Martin:Ok, I-NO-FI-NA-DA.

Ninj:*silence*

Martin: Hoy Andito ka, pumasa ka!

Then Martin heard my outrageous happiness (cry, scream, jump). Yes, I cried and I ran around the house without noticing what I was doing. Mom was just laughing at me. And remembering it now, it looked really funny! Hahaha. Sorry and Thank you Martin! Hahaha.

Even after Martin's confirmation, I couldn't still believe what happened. I still couldn't access the site that time. But when my aunts, uncles, ninongs, ninangs and all others called my mom and dad about seeing my name on the list, it finally dissolved in my system, I really passed the boards! Immediately, we had a simple feast at home---- barbecue dinner! It was only the day after it, which was yesterday, when I finally saw the name I was looking for since the minute the results came out.

After seeing my name, our school's standing, the topnotchers which we got to luckily have the top 1 spot via Roxanne Lim, and all the stuffs, I finally saw my rating. I'll be posting the screenshot here but with a suspense just because I'd like to keep it to myself and the closest people to me and I'm shyyyy. Haha.

So there you go! Thank you Lord! Thank you papa and mama! Thank you UST! Thank you to everyone who took part in my journey.

Much love,
Ninj

Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Tour

Just last July 11 I went with my friend Kate and her sister Ate Carol and cousin Ate Dianne to Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Tour Manila stop. (I went to Katy Perry's California Dreams Tour with them too.) And we also saw Vida, another friend, that night too!

 Anyway, going back, everything just went all of a sudden. We just got our Patron tickets around 3 days before the event. We were just so lucky to find a genuine one with a good spot in the audience. So the night went fun, just imagine us rapping with Nicki Minaj her hits like Superbass, Starships, Fly, Moment 4 Life, Did It On 'Em and lots more. Imagine how my throat just wanted to burst out. I've always said and will always be proud to say that she's my idol when it comes to rap--- a week after Superbass was released, I got to have memorized it already and it was a first time when it comes to rap. It just caught me! Haha!

During the concert, Kate and I were on heels but we never thought of making the clamors of foot ache on the spot so we just tried to enjoy the night as much as we can. And look, we did! And the heels, instead of giving us a disadvantage, helped us to gain extra inches higher since the crowd went standing until the end of the show and just think how hard it could have been. Before saying too much, I'm sharing the memories now. So here are the pictures we got lucky to take during the concert. Look how near Nicki's butt was to us!

So they really sold lots of Blackberries and load plans. :))

A blurry photo of me and Kate in our area. :)

And there you go. Until the next Superbass Nicki Minaj! I'd love to spend my last cent for you again. Now, I'm currently bankrupted! :))

Going Gaga

~~~When I say, I will see this person, I WILL!

 May 22, 2012. 8pm at the new Mall of Asia arena. Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball. I thought the second day would not have it for a sold out. We were there at around 7pm and the General Admission and VIP areas were the only areas full. Lower box had only a few people in it. There were no other people around us. But as soon as Gaga appeared, it mesmerized me that OOOOH it's another sold out for Gaga. All screams everywhere--- guys, girls and gays alike. Everyone was singing. My favorite parts of the concert were when she sang Born This Way, Bad Romance, Alejandro and Hair. She was magnificent! She danced so superb. Her stage was perfect! I just can't explain it in words. It was just so amazing!

And I felt her when she reiterated that she went to our country for art and not to bash our culture and religion. I believed her when she said despite of all the critiques who're giving her the negative image, she'd rather spread more of that positivity. I just don't know why some people just can't understand that. But I guess we are all subjected to our own opinions and I guess it's best for me to respect that. 

We were very lucky because there were no more rally-ists during the second day. The concert went smooth and good. The night was very terrific. And I think, she really loves her LITTLE MONSTERS.

May 24, 2012. 3pm at the Mall of Asia atrium. It's another MOA day for us! Mr. Damon Salvatore  (Ian Somerhalder), one of the hot Salvatore brothers, greeted us with the hottest face on earth! I just can't imagine myself not being at that moment because I really wanted to see him in person. He was so nice and generous to the fans. Well, fans were girls, girls and girls. And if there were any other, they were our gay friends. That factor made the scream a little bit high pitched! There were banners everywhere! One of it saying, "Bite me Damon, I'm Vervain Free!" Another was "Do me with the Rebekah Style!" I am pretty sure, all the girls who were there felt their panties getting off their bodies. I swear, he was that hot! Hahaha!

What you see in the television is not the total of it. There was more to it. His eyes, oh yes, his eyes were killing me. His smile, oh Ian, you are so massive! And I really saw in his face that he was very eager to make the fans happy. And lucky for the three girls who went up stage to have some smoochy kiss from him. Nonetheless, I am still very happy because he blew a kiss to everyone while he was just three meters right in front of me !

It was worth squeezing myself against the flood of people. It was worth it being a fan girl. And I guess, being a fan girl, it's not just in words, but in actions. And I am very willing to do anything just to witness a lifetime experience. :)

Bucket List: Lady Gaga and Ian Somerhalder

Two of the people I really want to meet or at least see in person within this mediocrity of life are Lady Gaga and Ian Somerhalder. And guess what, their here in our country, Philippines, right now. They both actually just arrived--- Lady Gaga at around 9pm and Ian just now. Lady Gaga is here for her Monster Ball Concert and Ian for Penshoppe All Stars.

Lady Gaga. A lot of people, mostly on the religious sector, are trying to stop her Monster Ball. I guess they have a good point why it should be stopped but in my opinion, it still depends on one person either to just enjoy her music or believe in her faith. I am a Catholic Christian and I know my faith, I know myself. I am attending her concert with my 3 siblings but I guess it won't bring our soul in hell. We'll be there to just enjoy the night together and sing the songs of Gaga which we listen to on road trips and on boring days at home. My siblings are 8, 11 and 17 and I guess being an illuminati is not understandable with their age. And I guess, it never will enter their mind being such because we know what our parents want us to be and being in the Lady Gaga concert would never change this fact. Actually, Gaga had been an inspiration to everyone who've been bullied and maltreated just like how she had been through before and because of this it isn't really practical to stop her concert. Most especially, we bought our middle row seats already. Haha! So please, don't torture us by stopping the concert. And I guess, it is not really good to stop it now. You'll just waste money and I guess it's a win-lose game if that comes to a point.

Ian Somerhalder. All girls out there claim that he's their husband. Including me, of course. Vampire Diaries had been so hot because of him and Paul, and the rest of the cast actually, ALL OF THEM! I guess, I deserve to see him but this is such a last minute chance. I have to search on a free pass or at least a cheap pass through his appearances. I was supposed to go with some friends tonight at the airport to meet him or at least have a glimpse of his pretty face but I guess the opportunity just lapsed out because it had been a big confusion where he's straight to. While I am typing this right now, fans are already screaming at the airport right now and I just feel envious. Tomorrow I guess he's in Bora and it's more impossible to meet him. On the 23rd, he'll be having a PresCon and 60 fans are only allowed. It's not even a meet and greet, just a part of the audience. So 3 days pass gone, then comes the 26th for the Philippine Fashion Week. This is my only chance but look how lucky I am, my family's having a day out together that day. Another day down. It's only on this last minute mall appearance that I will get the chance but it is not yet official, no official day yet, so I am still walking through waters with it. I am still hoping to see him. One week should be enough for me to find a way. 
(P.S. Thank you to all my friends who are addict with TVD, for encouraging and enlightening me. This feeling wouldn't be present if it wasn't because of you. Hahaha. Most especially CJ who sat down with me last October for TVD!)


If I will be able to see them both, well Lady Gaga should be sure at least (Don't Cancel. Please) I'll be able to check them out from my bucket list. It will take a lot of effort to find a way, most especially Ian's. So I guess, I SHOULD FIND A DAMN WAY.
