Will I ever lose the extra baggage? First 15 to take out and to do it the healthy way. Patience may not always be a virtue but it has to be; Thank God there's such thing as friends who kept on motivating me but somehow I can't help but wonder -- Sometimes I'm happy with my own skin but circumstances when I just want to snap out from myself.
No more Excuses.

I've worked on the emotional baggage, there isn't anything left. Hallelujah!

Cueshe manager slams Hale
By JOJO PAJARILLO PANALIGAN
Manila Bulletin
"Members of Hale are two-faced and arrogant backbiters who think too highly of themselves and their music."
Thus, says Cueshe manager, Myke Sarthou, in lieu of Hale’s alleged ‘stab’ at the controversy the former band was embroiled in last year during the latter’s performance in the ABS-CBN show, "Magandang Umaga Pilipinas" last March 2.
Invited to "Magandang Umaga" to promote the repackaged version of their debut album, Hale performed their hit songs but intro-ed with a snippet of Silverchair’s "The Greatest View" which was publicly contended as one from which Cueshe derived the melody of their hit single, "Stay."
"Why did they perform ‘Greatest View’ if they have no intention of reminding people of that issue; one that already died down naturally for lack of basis? There’s no remake of ‘Greatest View’ in their album nor is that song part of their usual repertoire. It was covert attempt to taunt Cueshe. Pambabastos na pailalim," says Myke.
Cueshe apparently felt irked over the incident that, days later, they addressed the perceived affront in one of show segments in music channel, "MYX."
"Sabi ng Cueshe sa ‘MYX,’ ‘If you (referring to Hale) don’t like us, don’t say ‘Hi!’ to us when we see each other. Wag n’yo na kaming plastikin," recalls Myke.
According to Myke, Hale has not only been "backbiting" Cueshe even before, but has been "making the public believe that they’re really this important and sought-after band."
"Paano silang magiging sought-after when according to their own website, they only have seven to eight gigs per month? At least ang Cueshe, araw-araw may show that pays well. Hale is managed by their record label and if one is going to use common sense, then they are probably mostly booked for shows that just sell the album. Then again, common sense is not so common," says Myke.
As for Hale acting precious about their music, Myke says that this is evidenced by the quartet’s perennial call to not be labeled as ‘pogi rock’ and for people to instead appreciate their music or musicality.
"Ano’ng musicality, eh, piyukin naman si Champ. And what’s to appreciate in music that usually just utilizes three chords? Feeling nila ang galing-galing nila. Ang Cueshe kahit isabak mo sa live, kaya nila kasi hasa sila being formerly a Top 40 band. Kaya lang maayos ang tunog ng Hale on record dahil sa recording studio, nareretoke ang music, " says Myke.
He adds: "Cueshe would never point out the merits of their songs because that’s something real artists don’t do unless they come across as self-serving. Only the public can bestow genuine compliments. Besides, what’s the point of crowing about the technical merits of music? Either people like you or they don’t for whatever reason."
When asked about Hale touted as the best selling new artist of 2005, Myke says that Hale has had the advantage of releasing their album months ahead of Cueshe’s.
"Sila, month of May nag-release ng album. Kami, July. Further, they were already promoting their album even before its release by serving ‘Broken Sonnet’ to both radio and music channels. What can I say about their Triple Platinum Award? Congratulations," says Myke.
Cueshe’s manager also says that Hale is so insecure of Cueshe that the former was said to have even contemplated "patterning" the concept of the video for their latest song "Tollgate" to that of Cueshe’s current, "Can’t Let You Go."
"The concept of the video for ‘Can’t Let You Go’ features footages from shows they’ve done all over. Naturally, the video has shots of their fans. When Hale saw it, they were said to have spoken to their label to produce another video for ‘Tollgate’ that will also show their fans."
What if that materialized?
"That would’ve been really amusing because it would once again show how desperate Hale truly is," ends Myke.
Cueshe’s Double Platinum debut album, "Half Full, Half Empty" has produced the hit songs "Stay," "Ulan," Sorry" and "Can’t Let You Go." The band will be doing a back-to-back show with Hale today at the Baseball Field Subic Bay, Olongapo City.
Hale and its record label EMI Music Philippines declined to release an official statement as of this writing.

In two months I've got to move myself back and get decided to get serious
and hit the gym almost everyday (and have one rest day) and go on a
strict diet.
no chocolates, no ice cream, no sweets.
Get myself back in the gym and do 45
mins of treadmill, 12 mins of rowing, 15 mins of bike, 5 mins of
stepper and then i do 3x5reps of 20 crunches (for upper, middle and
lower) and also tons and tons of stretching to make me taller.. that is.
In two months, I could possibly move the scale down 20 lbs down out!
Now, I need motivation and all these annoyance that would push me more
to get into this. Have a gym partner or if someone out there who'd love
to drag me out, kidnap me for tennis, boxing or any other sort of
activity - Carry on! Drag me out. Let's Go! | | |

DAILY INSPIRATION
Ever since I was in Highschool I am always in tuned on the radio.
There's this side of me that includes the radio or perhaps music itself
as one of my weaknesses. If you happen to be like me upon waking up
tunes into the dial of wave 89.1, when 7am already comes near I'd pause
myself from what I am doing or if ever I'm on my way to school I'd turn
the volume up and listen to the daily inspirations from Erik Mana
Who'd ever thought that the jock tandem turned out to be someone I know of, perhaps I have never realized that it was already Robi; not until I fully took all my attention that it was a him (them- Robi and Don). Anyway if you happen to catch the early morning show
It may also occur to your thoughts, how did they ever get all those
energy thinkin it's an early morning show and there they are sounding
so hyper and never seemed to run out of crazy antics.
Anyway on the second hour of the early morning show you'll get to have few minutes from Erik Mana's Daily Inspiration.
Let me share to you the recent one I heard and got me more reminded about career paths and growing up:
Do
not worry about failures, for failures are there not to make us weak,
but to make us strong. It should never be a hindrance to your success.
Instead, it should be a gateway to accomplishing great things
Not
only that,Ever since we bumped into each other again and went out,
after knowing alot of things that he has gone through (robi, that is)
he drove me thinking about my future too. Until then, the entrance of
the year woke me to take opportunities as it is and do things that are
productive, enhancing and or something that would let me grow as a
person perse and not just an ordinary girl who'd just depend on what
there is infront of me or those who'd provides.
I remember too
one of those quote message that yael sent me before right after the mtv
summit that until now I live my thoughts with especially whenever I
feel like I'm already nearly at my worst.
Here's a striking quoteable quote from our favorite author:
“When the strong are too weak to hurt the weak, the weak have to be strong enough to leave.” - Milan Kundera (1982), The Unbearable Lightness of Being, p.71
Mind-boggling? Awakening.

I'm
21 yet I'm still grateful I received atleast 4 gifts this Christmas,
just as when I thought I no longer would. Best part is, no one gave me
anything edible.
A book, Accessories and Laces, my kind of thing.
Where's the moohlah? I'm not complaining.
I'm in love with December. I hope he's just not for the december. second time around? second time around.
