Hi. Well, I don't know where to start. Anyway, exam's this week! Ugh! I hope I pass all my tests! I've been wanting to good in school from now on. Matter of fact I'll post what I've got on all my assignments and quizzes and tests from here on in. That means, I think I'll be using this blog more regularly to post the results and keep track on what I've got.

I think I need to be more organized and hardworking. I need to practice those two things. I've observed some people I considered successful and aside from the fact that they're intellectually good, if not, better than most people, I noticed that they're very organized, precise and extremely hardworking. Hah. I need those if I want to be successful. Persistence is out of the question for me. I'm the most persistent man I know (no kidding). If I'm in the mood, I won't give up until I'm not physically capable of trying things over and over until I get it right consistently.

Anyway, I'm a bit hyped up for the coming summer. As I've told you, I'm taking up ballroom. I know most people don't appreciate it. I do, but not all. I like to watch and perform Tango. I want to dance! Hah. I know I haven't got much talent in dancing, but that's the point. I want to gain more skills in it. I want to be better.

I met with puffy (K) last night. I miss him again. We had dinner and some coffee and we just talked and enjoyed each other's company. I think we'll meet again on Wednesday for a dinner together, because I don't think we'll meet on the weekend because my dad is here. Meaning, I can't go out that freely because he is fucked up. Don't ask for further explanation. Plus, it's his sister's graduation and his grandma's birthday, so I really don't think we could meet. Sigh.

We met yesterday at Glorietta and I saw this guitar at Perfect Pitch. Variax 300 BX. I want that guitar. I've into guitars since last last year. I know I'm not that much of a guitarist (I'm more of a pianist/keyboardist) but guitars are more collectible than pianos. Pianos are way too expensive to collect. I own a couple of Fenders (3 Stratocasters (all of them are black body but one has a pearl pickguard (50th anniversary edition)), Telecaster (Ash)), Ibanez (GRG 20 (black), (RG1527 (blue, floyd rose tremolo)), Gibson, (Les Paul Standard (black))Anyway, I want to get that Variax. That'd be my first Variax guitar. My effects is a Zoom GFX-8 Multi Effects Pedalling Board and I only have one amp. I use a Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker that came as a hand-me-down from my Dad. As for my piano I use a Yamaha Clavinova Electric Piano. It has weighed keys that mimic an acoustic piano, and that means, I could still do finger strength exercise with it. And the nice thing about it is I never need retuning because my piano doesn't have strings! I also own a 3/4 Parrot violin that I do not play (I don't know how).
