Chasing a Dream...

I'm here now watching CSI:NY while talking to Sofia and searching for Victorian Era stuff as well as cosplay. it's fun...
Mykhos and Sofia went home earlier today. we spent four days together... and it was a lot of fun. beach then Rockwell today.
I have been allowed to go to the Ongaku, but mom has to come with me. I want to meet Ate Maiya, Kurt, Kuya aRJay and all the rest... it's right after the Cause-Play so that will be a lot of fun. ^^ I'll be going with Sofia and Mykhos to the Ongaku... they'll try to get their Gackt and Kozi costumes done by then so we can go as a group at di na ako mag-isa nun. ^^
I will make cosplaying Mana-sama my career. All of his cotumes, i will aim to do and cosplay. All, including Moi dix Mois. difficutly, but it's Mana! i will do anything.
Which reminds me, my Toshiya Myaku. I have to get started on that one...
My cosplay line-up:
1. Mana Au Revoir
2. Chiriko of Fushigi Yuugi
3. Fuu of Magic Knight Rayearth
4. MakubeX of Get Backers
5. Mansairaku of Otogi Zoshi: the Legend of the Magatama
6. Toshiya Myaku
7. Raiha of Recca no Honoue
ha! ive got my new birthdate: March 31, 1706, which makes me... ack! 300 years old. I am probably the baby in group... Deacon hasn't decided yet, but Kunebitt was born during the 100-year war. haha... i feel so old... no wonder i do feel old. ^^ that was during the time of the French-English war, if my history serves me right. i was born during the Stuart Era of Englad, the 18th Century. This was the time when the House of Stuart ruled England, Scotland and Ireland. How interesting! I shall do more reading on the topic, surely. i do love the fashions of the time.
We're still trying to come up with a name for ourselves... it isn't as easy as it seems. Deacon and I were up until 2:30 this morning trying to piece together names while Kunebitt slept and dreamt about whoever that man was. It's quite difficult but we've decided that the language will be either French, English or Japanese, the most elegant languages, in our opinion.
our aim is to launch visual kei in the Philippines. Visual Kei with a touch of Pinoy style, and to create something totally original and totally us. Ala Malice Mizer and Dir en grey, but something of our own. I'm to be bassist.
I have never thought that i would actually be talking about making band or such. i always watched Nampu Kawamoto, Francis Sabili, Mark Sato and Mark Gimmo and Raf Eng and the rest do so, but i never thought i would actually be the one. Neither Deacon, Kunebitt or I could imagine so.
I think i like the name Cerise. Jade Cerise Alexandria.
Hmm... i must start designing my own clothes inspired by the Stuart/Victorian Era. I like kimonos too... hmm... my theme is be blue/black or lavender/black. I still have yet to decide. Well, costumes are to my own but my walking clothes will be a problem. I find the clothes of the 18th Century so cute and so elegant.
Hmmm...
Anyway, we went to Rockwell and played in the arcade. I sang in the Videoke because they have the Japanese songs I so love. Pity though, the lyrics of the songs were written in Japanese so the Mykhos and Sofia couldn't read it. I was able to, and so I sang the most. I sang a few songs, actually. Here's what i can remember:
1. Au Revoir by Malice Mizer
2. Verte Aile by Malice Mizer
3. Gekka no Yasokyoku by Malice Mizer
4. U+K by Gackt M.S. Camui
5. Yokan by Dir en grey
6. Sailing Day by Bump of Chicken
7. Tentai Kansoku by Bump of Chicken
8. 1/3 Junjou no Kanjou byt Siam Shade
9. Eyes on Me by Fei Wong (with Sofia)
10. Go!! by Flow (with Sofia)
It was a lot of fun, and it was only there that i noticed my voice is quite low. i can do male vocals or low female vocals. Mykhos can sing! He's just shy and lacks a bit of training. So does Sofia, but i'm confident in them.
I wish this will push through... It's our dream now, especially Mykhos. at the very least, i want to go to Japan to study with them. Haha, the three or four or even five of us in one apartment in Japan, studying college while doing our band stuff. In addition to the three of us, there's Ken and Marie. It will be so much fun... I know it will be hard but then, I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.
Kuya Tano from the beach knows about this and he warned us against crossing over to the mainstream pop scene. He says it will ruin us, and i have to agree with him. If ever we are to cross over to the main road, then we must find a producer who will let us be and let us create our own music.
I have to learn the bass, how to write lyrics, how to compose and how to arrange. Yes... I must learn much. This will be quite difficult.
Goals:
1. PASS THE IB
2. Learn to read, write and speak Japanese fluently
3. Get into a Japanese University
4. Get a job with the UN
5. learn to play bass
6. Make it big with the band

I hope to fulfill all of them.
Henry Kissinger is on TV. wow. i thought he was dead.
I am sleepy now... good night everyone.
