Clarity IV: Lost In Memories; Clarity's Finale; End of the Line
Guys, I've haven't been myself lately. I'm practically lost. I never wanted to be in a position as this. With all the pressures in life I just gotta take a break from the madness. I'm finding my way to out and learning on the way. I'm done hiding and it's time charge head-first. I need time with myself at the moment. By the way, I'm not quitting blogging, I'm just reinventing it ENTIRELY. As of today, finishing with the 226th post, The blog comes to an end. I'm still gonna be blogging. I'll be posting the link of my new blog to this post as soon as it's open. Bye Clarity, I had fun with you and all the memories I told you were real. Thank You.
April 18, 2010 : The Blog "Clarity" ends..

It's summer!! = Back to normal
Okay! it's summer! Which means, no school, no work and no teachers. I'm back to whatever crap I'm doing here. But this summer I want to be a little more productive ya know what I mean? I'm gonna improve my knowledge of music and plan to write songs. I've centered my music to various rock genres and acoustics. I'm working on a song which somewhat has an incomplete idea. I'm actually woking on "You Could've Stayed" which is about another story with her. I noticed, she's my inspiration for everything and it's time to give it a little twist. I'm gonna use "intensity" for a different song that somehow says "Opening your eyes and seeing the truth." I'm excited for the remaining days of our summer vacation cause I have A LOT TO DO. Trumpets, collab with Maine, plan videos, practice on my prof cam, internet and all my other nonsense. Oh yea, I plan to back to blogging about the recent happenings of my twisted and crazy life. This summer is "centered" on music so I plan to write and write like hell. It's not an "entirely" happy summer for me. I miss the girl I loved. I haven't spoken to her, I haven't even texted her. I hate being like this being so pathetic. Recently I've never felt as devastated in my life. Her image seems to appear whenever I feel alone and unwanted. Basically, the sentence "I miss her." sums it up. I've got to learn to open my eyes. I have 2 months to force it open. I shouldn't be afraid, it's only the real world right? Fantasies are over, this is the first day of the rest of my life. Summer, back to strumming on my electric guitar like a maniac, writing songs to relieve myself or to relieve others, movies, music and all my other nonsense.

I just gotta push harder.
Ok, I've been staying at home like a couch potato but that changed last week. I'm currently improving my vocals for band purposes. I love my teacher he's very experienced and refined with his skills. Ok, I prepared "You Found Me" during practices. Apparently I'm having so much fun even though I make alot of mistakes. Aldz is taking voice lessons too and we plan on rendezvousing around Shangri-La Mall every Friday. I'm taking the band into a semi-alternative route. I'm influenced by Paramore, Marianas Trench, We The Kings, Hey Monday, and VersaEmerge which means I'm sorta gonna experiment on my music. I love how VersaEmerge made "Whisperer" it's kinda like Owl City mixed with Paramore. As of now, I'm writing songs and they're different again. The problem is, the inspiration comes and quickly goes. I need to write everything as soon as I get them. Ok, I running out of words so I'll tell you about this Saturday. This Saturday we plan to have a band jam session @ SM Manila and we're practicing "My Heart- Paramore" for me it's a cool song choice because I'm a Paramore fan. I guess it's a bias. I'm also using this day to test our lead singer's commitment. I don't really know if she wants in or just want it til' we head our separate ways (college). We have Brendon who will be in the 1st year high school the year we start college. Which means, we get to perform even after our 4th year (maybe). For those who don't know him, Bren is our lead guitarist and I may say he's amazing like his sister, they're musically inclined. I'm really beginning to doubt Gab's commitment due to her new and hectic schedule. She recently joined the CMLI which I think is a distraction from valuable practice time. Charlies Siy, the guy who apparently is the one who talked her into it. Ok, I'm not here to question her decisions but I hope this DOES NOT affect band time. We need an open forum for the band. I feel we have thoughts and ideas we like to mention. Now I'm out of words. BYE BLOGGER! for now...

Prom Story
This was the night of our lives. The most awaited event, Prom. It was a night of glamour and glitz and everyone looked amazing and the ladies were gorgeous. Aldz surprised us with multiple necklaces and beautiful outfit. We performed on this night Decode and I'll Be and the audience was amazed with our lead singer's voice it was amazing. Ok, I'm inspired to write a song again probably about prom which apparently is about dates and dancing. We stayed at a different hotel but had fun anyways. We were indulging ourselves on chips and drinks. I was planning to dance it up with friends but I was well, distracted by the annoying look of my hell of a brother. Maine and Jinger were pulling me to the dance floor which I found funny. I love shouting shots! on the dance floor. I was laughing like hell when Maine and Arvin went to the dance floor with a drink which apparently was just water. I found it very funny and cool.

Getting Started.
In various video games, there is a section in the manual that says, "Getting Started". It's definitely NOT what I'm gonna talk about. I'm talking about summer music training. I'm having vocal lessons from an amazing company "Trumpets Inc." and I'm learning the violin whoo!! I plan to use it for the band to have a "darker classic-ish" tune. Basically, I'm in the learning and songwriting stage. We have concepts on song which apparently were stopped and discontinued but some ongoing.
The band plans to feature many students as said in the previous posts in twitter and facebook. Aldreanna's song "Everything's Different Now" may be covered. The songs I'm working on are more in-depth and less cliche. I'm also working on a song entitled "You're Never Lost" is about a person who he/she tries his/her best for the world but ends up getting betrayed the moment he/she turns around. It's a song that's saying "I'll be there, especially when no one is." I got the idea when I chatted w/ a friend the other night. I usually feel in pain for my friends' sadness and hardships. I care alot for my friends. Anyway, I still can't get my lyrics right. I got the message but I can't find the words to use.. Oh yeah, It's our lead singer, Gabrielle Ong's birthday today!! Happy Birthday! :)

I'm a songwriter!
Okay, we're more inspired than we ever were before. We're currently expanding our horizons in music and plan to feature multiple batch/classmates. I can't wait for more songwriting because our thoughts and stories are expressed here in music. I'm currently writing two songs: "Crossing The Railroad" and "Against Me". Crossing The Railroad is frequently mentioned on my twitter/facebook and Against Me is a Christian song inspired from our biblical discussions. Anyway I'm currently planning on creating the band's first demo album entitled "Origins" and also planning to feature classmates/friends. Me and Sharmaine have constantly tried to write a song but our schedule's always against us so we plan to put it on hold. Inspiration definitely comes and comes and I have to take advantage of it. :)

The last chapter of HS is about to begin. BRACE YOURSELVES!!
I've been online on most websites like facebook, friendster and twitter and I've noticed that most of us are talking about our Senior year. I believe it's gonna be a great finale on us. Our band's next gig, and alot of other nonsense. I keep telling myself that everytime a chapter ends a new one begins. Like high school, it's like saying after reading something entitled "High School" the next book is "College". I still have a lot to explore before I apparently head to college. I keep telling myself, will I still get intouch with my friends? When I leave, I wanted nothing to be different but change is unavoidable and it WILL happen. High School's about to end and I'm about to leave by 2011. The road is still covered in darkness and I just have to keep going and moving ahead. I always know that in hard work, come a reward.

Hello blogger!
OK, yesterday was the most awaited JS Program. We performed live "Keep Holding On- Avril Lavigne" I was very much frightened. After the program Me and the band went to RP to do some random stuff. We actually went to Tom's World and most of the time we were at the karaoke booth. Gab really nailed it. Anyway, we went home after hours of eating and walking around. We sang some songs by Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Paramore and Kitchie Nadal. So I noticed the more I don't talk to her the easier the memories and the pain fade away. But I believe the scars still remain. I've lost myself to my emotions. I actually saw her yesterday and the feeling just flashed and threw me straight to the ground helplessly. I feel pathetic giving in but I love her.

Yo! I'm blogging like hell again.
It's been a while since I actually blogged my heart out. Anyways, S.Y. 09-10 is about to end and I feel like I haven't accomplished the goals I've been wanting to accomplish. But I believe I've made it a long way. As a kid, I wasn't the "popular one" I'm considered a nobody in the student body but, as I grow and mature I've extended my capabilities and my social links. I've met people who I don't even talk to as a child. I've made it this far and I'm not gonna stop expanding my horizons. I've recently spoken to my brother (Arthur) and we chatted about college life. I refused to believe his definition of college life. He mentioned that college friends are better than high school friends and that is not true. They're not the foundation of my personality and confidence. The friends you make in high school are the ones who influenced you since you we were like 4 or 5 years old. I don't want to leave any of my friends whom I treasured even until I leave high school. I'm re-reinventing my blog to make it more interesting and more in-depth stories about my life. Expressing in my blog has a big role on my life and it's my personal website. :))

Standing
Here I am again speaking about my life's randomness. I've made it to the 3rd Year and who am I now?
As a person: I've become a very independent and reliable person I'm currently the organizer for our band. A club officer and a helpful person. I've learned to become selfless and I usually put my friends' happiness over mine. I've improved on my studies and could possibly make it to the 2nd section. In the end, I'm still myself but more confident and not hesitate. I've strengthened my friendship with my friends Mika, Harvey, Maine, Jackie, Anne, Mazda, Camille, Karen, Jehan and many more. I felt like I have a place in the school.
As a scout: As a scout I've been very good-ish. I've attended a funeral which was fun and creepy. I've widened my friendship w/ the other scouts. I've become adept in various scouting skills such as knots, first aid and many more which lead to me being promoted to a crew leader. A crew leader basically leads the crew and I'm usually responsible for their mistakes. I've become skilled in the art of improv. and logic where the Seniors are adept in.
As a student: I've put most of my priorities on my studies and obviously, I've improved due to receiving high marks on various subjects and also being responsible for my grades. I've learned that they (teachers) hate failing us as much as us failing our exams. I maximized my education as a Junior and planned to improve as a Senior.

Profile
Aldric Go- Contrasting to my brother, I'm the sensitive, efficient, witty, not-so-organized, academically inclined and reasonable twin. A definite party monster and a rock star. I'm a music geek. I love any but RnB cuz I find the lyrics senseless. The band manager and organizer. I love songwriting though I can't put in the words the way I want it. My music is basically rock, punk rock, post-grunge, acoustic and ballad-like songs. I love songs that could make me tear-up because it means I can REALLY relate to them.
Kanina I go to Glorietta tapos I play TimeZone. Tapos I eat chocolate.

Lumina
Lumina is a band formed around December 2009. The band consists of Gabrielle Ong, Lead Vocals, Aldric Go, Rhythm and Back-Up, Brendon Ong, Lead, Aldrin Go, Bass. With the absence on a drummer,
the band is looking for one. Their debut performance was at the SSHS Quadrangle at December 19, 2009 with High and Iris. The first performance was unsuccessful so they practiced harder and
enter a jingle contest from the Science Club. Fight FoR Peace won first prize for an original song entitled "Save It! (ft. Winona See)". The band is in it's songwriting stages and we plan to record as soon as
we get 7 or 8 songs (original compositions). The band's genre consists of: Pop Rock, Alternative Rock, Acoustic, Pop Punk, Power Ballads and occasionally Christian Songs. The band's main influences are
Paramore, Marianas Trench, The Maine, All-American Rejects, Artist VS Poet and Boys Like Girls. The band is NOT a just a cover band
because we do write our own songs and we also plan to collaborate with people. The band's first song is "Fallen" which is a simple song about love and sadness with Evanescence as an influence. "Fallen" was admired by most classmates which
shows a big success. The band's in it's songwriting stages and plans to pursue the world of music in the near future.
