The Larkhouse Project

I have been a fan of Pinoy Indie music since my high school days. I liked bands who plays underground music and bands that doesn't go with the flow of the mainstream.

My usual bands generally fall under alternative rock, "power-punk", reggae and ska.  Yet slowly, the bands I've loved drifted to the dark shadows and went to the limelight.

For the past two years I have been stucked to Taken by Cars’ music which the band describes their music as a mixture of electro, shoegaze and new wave.

Last year, my boyfie introduced bands I have never heard of. (I’ll post another blog about those) Well, for me I think that’s a good idea for them not going with the flow of mainstream because that makes them unique and hardcore. (no offense to the bands in the mainstream)

Recently, I bumped into Kissa, a good old friend of mine back during my gradeschool days. Music has been her passion even before, so having a band at this age is not a shock for me. It amazed me that she created a good music with her band, The Larkhouse Project.

Like them on Facbook here

The Larkhouse Project's genre is ambient/alternative which is relaxing and perfect for any environment. Their influences are The Appleseed Cast, Tori Amos, Angels and Airwaves, One amazin' Kid, You Blew It!, Radiohead, Death Cab for cutie and many more.

NO CLASSES TODAY JULY 27, 2011

DepEd announced yesterday, July 26 that classes are suspended from PreSchool to HighSchool.

And just now, yes it's true -- SUSPENDED NA PATI COLLEGE.

If you still don't believe me, try checking out maypasokba.com

Well, since almost all of you prayed for a suspension of classes, please. Pray for those people who doesn't have a decent place to stay in during this kind of weather. And for the safety of all Filipinos during this stormy night.

May pasok ba?

I have noticed every time it rains, it pours...... questions if there are classes or DepEd (Department of Education) and or CHED (Commission on Higher Education) declare classes are suspended.

It has always been a problem when it comes to knowing if classes are suspended or not. DepEd declares earlier than CHED; the former announces it as early as 4 in the morning yet the latter leaves the decision to the Universities. (read: I think I have never experienced in my four years in college, CHED declaring a suspension on certain universities)

Want to know if there are classes? You want them accurate?

Pray For Norway

Norway churches asks for prayers as officials confirmed a suspected gunman killed at least 85 people at a youth summer camp, yesterday, July 23.

Bishop Helga Haugland Byfuglien of the main Lutheran Church  of Norway said that tragedy reminds them of their vulnerability and is faced by all of the people all over the world. However she still believes that they are not alone for God is with them Who gives them hope and consolation.

She also said that this kind of adversity will forever changed Norway.

 "Wat has happened at [the youth island of] Utoya [where 84 youngsters were killed] directly influences our common future," the bishop added. "I don't believe anyone imagined that young people, who gathered for discussions and relaxation, could be shot and killed."

Police say the suspect behind this brutal attack is a 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik. He first detonated a bomb around prime ministers office in Oslo that killed 7 people.

He then started going on to his next plan, 20 km outside Oslo, where a group of youths were situated on an idyllic island. He disguised himself as a police officer. He killed them one by one, even the youngsters in the water. 84 more lives vanished with this horrific event.

A survivor of this brutal killing said he saw the impostor calling the victims closer to him then he pulled his weapons and started shooting them. He also said many victims pretended to be dead but after the suspect finished one ammunition, he pulled a shotgun and started shooting them again in the head.

Police said the gunman posted online "extreme right-wing (politically conservative group) and anti-Muslim" comments before the catastrophe.

The gunman said he is willing to explain his side in court that could be held tomorrow, July 25.

"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," lawyer Geir Lippestad told independent TV2 news.

RIP Amy Winehouse

British rehab singer, Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her home in Camden, north London around 3 in the afternoon of July 23.

London Ambulance Service has been called to Winehouse's flat around 3:45 pm and sent two ambulances. Then, police were called by the ambulance service around 4:05 in the afternoon and pronounced a woman's body dead on the scene

"Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

Back to Black

Other sources suspected the death of the 27-year old soul singer's death was caused by drug overdose.


Winehouse was set for a tour in Europe but she pulled out after 20,000 fans booed her in her recent concert in Belgrade. Some disgusted fans walked out because Winehouse appeared to be drunk on stage, which lasted only 90 minutes. Winehouse could only mumble the lyrics and couldn't follow her own band.

Keep Them Glued At All Time

Since I was too busy yesterday fixing my blog and chatting with friends on Facbook, I wasn't able to watch Pinoy Henyo on Eat Bulaga.

Pinoy Henyo is a guessing game hosted by the longest noon time show here in the Philippines. I had the chance to work there as an intern last December 2010.

Me on the Pinoy Henyo Seat (backstage)

This segment is one of my most favorite even before my internship started. I have always dreamed of joining the contest. But I guess I wont make it through the audition for they are looking for the most energetic pair.

For TV's aesthetic purposes, I guess? Being smart is not only the key to get in , you also have to be witty and entertaining.

Well, I guess, with this pair yesterday, they really are winners when it comes to entertainment.

Watch their video.

PS. My parents and I just watched it now. We still can't get over it.

I want my own DOT COM Domain

I am a new blogger and yes, I know, having my own domain is too early for me. I am still looking for good things to write and some readers to follow and read.

Despite that, I know I can make it through. (True Story: I made another post about this but for I don't know reason, it just didn't post. I tried retrieving it yet, no luck. I almost cried for I think I poured my soul onto that post, but it was just gone. Thanks ERROR 404. kthanksbye)

Anyway, as much as I could, I wanted my as of the moment 8 followers read pretty much nice posts from a newbie like me. (I am hoping they're reading my posts. He-he)

But, does it mean having my own domain can help me gain followers and readers? Not.

I'd still say yes. It'll boost my self-esteem and I can proudly say "Hey I am 'vinatheegreat.com'".

Captain America is My Alter Ego

Captain America or Steve Rogers is an average man who looks physically weak and tiny. He wanted to serve his country, however, his awkwardness and tiny physique led him to thousands of rejections.

He successfully finished a test given to him by hugging a grenade. It led him to be the chosen subject in a top-secret defense project of the government during World War II.

He agreed to the project that changed him forever and made him a Super Soldier. From the diminutive physique, he was transformed into this huge, six-packed, muscle-toned body. With the Super Serum infused in his body, all he needed was his Super Shield.

Captain America: The First Avenger on July 27, 2011

Watch Captain America: The First Avenger trailer

I know that I can do something big too, if not for my country for the people around me. I may not be transformed like CA but with my will and determination, I know I can do something big, just like him!

Since last June 2011, my boyfie and I watched this trailer in almost all of the movies we've gone to. We are itching to see this movie!
