8 décembre 1706 : mort de l'historien et traducteur Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaye ➽ http://bit.ly/Nicolas-Amelot-Houssaye Enfermé quelques semaines à la Bastille pour avoir émis une virulente critique du gouvernement vénitien, Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaye, dont certaines indélicatesses demeurèrent impunies parce qu'on craignait l'éclat, dont les écrits servaient en réalité certains intérêts politiques inconnus du grand public, vit peut-être sa carrière favorisée par un autre talent que celui de l'écriture : l'art de neutraliser et de servir indirectement les puissants

It’s a girl thing. 10.20.2018

Wala talaga kaming balak pumunta dito pero nagregister pa din kami para makakuha ng passes. Hindi nga lang kami umaasa na mabibigyan kami since pili lang pala yung mabibigyan. Kaya lang bigla tumawag yung manager ng Gracenote sakin, tinanong nya kung pupunta ba kami sabi ko hindi pa sure kasi wala pang passes. So ayun sabi daw ni Eunice eh kinakabahan sya sa even na yun (hindi kasi sya sanay sa mga ganong its a girl thing haha) kaya gusto nya makita kami don. Sabi ni sir pwede daw ako magsama ng isa (naisip ko e 8 kami) tapos sige dalawa na daw isama ko. Sabi ko e mahirap pumili hahaha so ayon bigay ko nalang daw names namin ililista nya kami. 6 nalang kami kasi hindi makakasama yung dalawa. 

Binalita ko agad sa mga frEaks yung paginvite samin, syempre nakakatuwa kaya G lahat kami. 1 day before the event, nagpaprint pa kami ng shirt na may mukha ni E syempre bida bida kami eh. Hahaha! 

Nung nasa stage na sya, alam namin na kinakabahan sya syempre hindi sya sanay sa mga ganong interview. Kasabayan nya pa si Dani Barreto at yung isa, basta pati kami kinakabahan. Kaya papansin lang kami don sa audience para mapansin nya kami. Hahaha. Nung sabay sabay na lumabas yung mga girls, hindi naman sa biased ako ha, nagstandout talaga yung ganda nya kahit katabi nya si Solenn. Hahaha! Mga vloggers karamihan nung guest eh, so parang naiiba talaga sya don.  Pero keri lang. Nadala naman nya at nakasagot sya sa mga tanong.

Nagperform din sila nung banda nya kaya lang 2 songs lang, bitin! Nung nahawakan na nya mic nya, ayun bumalik confidence nya hahaha. Syempre nakijam pa din kami kahit na hindi namin crowd yun. Sobrang sayang experience. Ang lamig kasi. Hindi kami sanay sa aircon. Hahaha! Sanay kami na lagi kaming pawisan kapag may gig/concert. Hahaha. 

After nung talk, may meet and greet pero sa kasamaang palad wala kaming passes para don. Nagpicture lang kami na hawak yung yung kwan. Bale pinapalabas na namin kami, syempre hingi kami tulong kay Sir. Sabi ko hindi kami pwede sa Meet and Greet, tas sabi nya “sige kayo nalang puntahan namin” Nakssss iba. Sarap ng feeling. Yung ikaw ang pupuntahan ng idol mo. Hahaha. Pero di din kami nakatiis, kasi tinawag kami. Nakalapit kami sakanya pero may barricade. Natouch sya sa presence namin at lalo na sa shirt. Ang saya lang kasi naappreciate nya kami.

Ang nangyari eh umulan, kaya pumasok ulit sa loob yung Meet and Greet, kaya nakisali na din kami. Yung kahit ilan beses na kami nakapagpapicture sakanya, sarap pa din ulit ulitin. With hug pa. Tapos bigla kami kumanta don ng When I dream about you, nakakahiya pero proud kami eh. Hahaha at nahiya din sya. HAHAHA.

Tapos pinost pa kami ng its a girl thing. Ay famous. Hahaha!

Ngayon lang talaga ako nagfangurling, sobrang saya at sobrang worth it ng Gracenote. Sulit lahat. Lalo na pag naaappreciate nila kami. Yung pag story at pagpost nya neto, sulit na eh. Kakakilig!

Additional na saya pa yung may nabuo kaming new set of friends na puro freak! Hahaha ittreasure ko yung mga to eh. Loving you guys!

excerpt for first pic:

“No, you might not realise how hard you made it to respond, but I don’t care,” he softened his grip on Grian’s arm. “Ever since you left I spent the rest of my days wondering what I could’ve said or done differently, anything to just make you reconsider. It felt like it was my fault that you were so unhappy to the point that you feared you’d die if you stayed here. “I was so upset that I might’ve hurt you, and we would never get to talk about the parts we left out. But what was I supposed to do? I can’t join you. I can’t let you go on with no imagined future. You’d die. I’m glad you didn’t but I was eighteen and you left and I thought you died, Grian.” For the first time in a long while, Grian’s heart shattered. And somewhere deep within his soul, his childlike counterpart woke from its eternal slumber. “You never called or wrote to me. I had no way of knowing where you’d gone. I spent so many months searching for any news of you, reading every pointless article in the papers hoping you’ll pop up. Sometimes I even dared myself to read the headlines in case you walked into traffic. You were always so reckless when we were together. “Because of how I see I have to let go of certain things. You never would’ve known that I spent every birthday since wishing that you’d come back, or at least have a better life somewhere alive because in spite of everything, I wanted you to be happy. I hated you so much for leaving then but I wanted you to be happy. “So please, Grian. Just talk to me.”

he is like hachiware to me. socially and emotionally unaware of his actions that hurt people
