Halloween Californication / Tuesday, October 31, 2006
So as all of you may know, This is my first halloween here in California. And, everything's slightly new to me. I mean, compared to the halloween back in the Philippines, the holiday here is much more bigger and much more grand. In the Philippines, there's not much when it's Halloween back there. They have halloween partues also you know, but you have to go to some club or some event to party in your costume. Unlike here, they're holding parties pretty much at every street. In the Philippines, Halloween for us is just going to the cementary and praying. Then we go home feeling all disgusted because we were lying on the ground,which had dead people underneath, all day. Here it's like, all those kids dress up and knock on your door, and be surprised by the amount of work they put into their costume, then you give them candy. It's actually fun.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not allowed to go out. So i'm stuck here while all my cousins go to Edgar Allan Poe's house and also his grave. So, before I get into my costume(LOL yeah costume, i'm dressing up as a prince) and get all busy with the kids, here's a treat for you. I know this is lame, but i just wanted to get you guys into the spirit of the holiday, just like how I did.
Here's some ghost pics.
Tony writes, "I don't know how to describe the picture... b' coz I got from an e-mail.. my uncle sent it to me... I heard the story bout the pic.. it's taken at johor.. I heard that someone died there.. 2 people were drowned... that's all I know bout the pic...
I was looking at our MLS listing site and came across this picture. Its a house that is for sale so I don't know the history or the exact age of the house as its not in the listing. Some people have told me that its a reflection of the sun off the mirror but to me I see a pair of sneakers on the steps. And if you look above them you can kind of see the hem of a skirt or something else. Anyone have an opinion or can tell me if it really is just a reflection.
Ok, so, blogspot won't allow me to post anymore pictures...Wow...If you guys want to check out more. Go here. http://www.ghostplace.com. Sorry for the inconvenience. NOT MY FAULT. Happy Halloween.

Dumb Logan.. / Monday, October 30, 2006
I was actually excited to sign in earlier because I was excited to write about, what I'm writing about now. LOL. But before going into my blog to start typing, yapping, and waste like, 2 minutes of your life with my crap, one of the blogs that was displayed on the dashboard caught my attention. So i clicked it right? And saw his posts, there was actually this this video post about Kingdom Hearts and it was fuckin' hilarious. HAHA! I'm keeping my blog media free. Well, except for music and flash cartoons. But I just want to keep this one clean, unlike my past blogs which was just full of videos, Final Fantasy pictures and crap. So i'm not embedding it. But if you guys want to check it out, i mean, really, i'm telling you to check it out. Just click on the blue thing, and here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b8G8delDlk
So yeah, uhm. You're probably wondering about the title. And I really don't know how to start this.
Well decided to start this way. Uhm, you'd actually know what exactly i'm talking about only if you read my tagbox. I mean, look at that. People are actually that I write stuff like these. I mean, they actually think I'm dumb. The thing is, I'm not. Ok maybe I am, but, you know. I still have a lot to say about different things. Specially about religion and the social norms. It's just that I shut up about it all the time. Because people actually think It's weird for me to say all those stuff. I don't know why. But they just do. I go talk about politics and they go all like "Dude?!What are you talking about?Think about the championship man" or like i go up to this girl and start talking about food and she's all like "I didn't know you knew the difference between a frankfurter and a sausage". Like what the fuck. I feel like I'm in this fucking disney movie called Highschool Musical. Ok, maybe it's my fault that people think of me that way. I mean, it was my choice to shut up. But people don't actually pay attention to any of my academic achievements. Most of them focus on my extra-curriculars. I even participate in intelligent conversations with this girl.
This girl. Her name is actually Janina, but others know her as Liah. Though she's from the Philippines, we've never met. I've known her for over four years and we've never met. Well it's because before, when i was there, i was really busy, and we really didn't talk much. We started talking again just lastyear. And she's really great. I mean, she always helped me with my girlfriend, uhm, whom is my ex now. She's done a lot of great things for me. And, i could talk to her just about any random shit that comes to my head. Including all the things I can't really talk about to others. Like politics, religion, morality, uhm. Anything...
And every conversation with her, is like a mind fucking experience like uhm, I don't know. She's the only person i could pour my thoughts into. And she accepts all of that openly. I mean, yeah she still has her opinions but she considers listening and understanding mine. It's hard to find open people. It's hard to find people like her. We talk about random stuff for like, hours. And, she's the only one who really knows and understands what's going on inside my head. And she actually thinks I'm smart and some kind of universal genuis. Heh. Got really flattered with that because she's one of the few people who's said that to me. It's like, there's only a handful of them you could even count their total with your fingers. But hearing it from her, this girl who has a lot to say about life, it's like...MIND FUCKING. It's great, it's a great warm feeling you get from inside.
Sometimes, when we talk, i really don't have much to say anymore because she has said all that needs to be said. It's just, our thoughts jive with each other. They don't clash, they jive. And dance around together. LOL. And having nothing to say anymore, makes me take back what I said in the 3rd paragraph. I'm dumb. And I'm dumb for this girl named Janina.

Lifestlye Dictation, Emo Gays, And Some Help With My Music... / Saturday, October 28, 2006
So i made a new mix right?Basically i played the piano and composed some tunes. From there, i mixed it with a whole bunch of stuff saved in my computer, then i accompanied it with a guitar, then finally, the drums. Then i mixed them all together in this one track. It turned out to be heavy trance. I'll put it up right here as soon as i find out how. This site's supposed to have music, don't know what happened with it. So anyone who's an expert on HTML. Please take time to hit me with a tag, a comment, or whatever.
Anyway, my post the last time was supposed to be longer. It was supposed to be 7 paragraphs in total but blogspot.com wouldn't let me because they suck ass. It was basically some rants about emo guys. This is actually the 4th time i'm re-typing this. You people are just lucky i'm bored to death here because I'm not allowed to go out, all because of one incident. I'm not grounded or anything. Something just happened with my health, and now my family doesn't want me to go out, because something might happen to me. They're afraid that some cow from the moon will be thrown by a catapault then will land on me, or something like that. LOL. So on with the rant. I'm not stupid enough to do some pointless ranting going on like "Oooh emo guys suck, we should stab them with super sharpened eyeliners" or something like that. I'm gonna make this as sensible and constructive as i can.
As far as i'm concerned. Emo kids don't even exist. Emo is a sub-genre of rock that was popularized back in the early 80's by a band called The Rite Of Spring. Their music influenced the kids so much that it actually changed, or rather dictated, their lifestyle. I know, music DOES influence us a lot. And there are genres too that become ones lifestyle. Such as goth, punk etc. But emo HAS got to be most annoying. Their style isn't even original. I mean, all those, stereotypes. Ones whom are wearing black shirts, having their hair spike up and down, and wearing black eyeliner that reaches down to their cheekbones. When they walk around they act like they own the place. I mean, they have this attitude, and they warn you all the time not to mess with them. But give them one little pinch, and they CRY. And I've actually seen videos of these guys, KISSING OTHER GUYS. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. They're everywhere. Youtube,bolt, EVERYWHERE. I thought you were tough? Why don't you go wear a pink shirt instead of a black one if you're just going to cry like that? I bet you're crying right now. Ooh son, don't cry too much. It might ruin your eyeliner. LOL.
So nowadays. There's this new hairstyle called "The Emo Hair". It's basically having your hair like, you stroke it up at the back, then down at the front. It's the latest fashion for "emos" today. The thing is, it's not emo hair. That kind of hairstyle weren't popularized by "emos". It was actually popularized by one guy. Cloud Strife. Yes Cloud Strife. From Final Fantasy VII. I'd show you a pic but you know how blogspot.com sucks, it won't let me post a picture. I promise to put it up on my next post.
Anyway, yeah. Final Fantasy VII was out during the late 90's. And the emo hair became popular just recently, like in the 20th century. So yeah, the idea was stolen. I'm not a hypocrite. I admit that i like emo music. I even PLAY emo music. But hell, I don't let it tell others who I am. Because I'm my ownself.
So kids, you gonna be your ownself?Or are you gonna be some sub-genre?

Introduction / Friday, October 27, 2006
This blog is actually for my friends back in the Philippines. Some of them actually don't know i'm still alive as i have not informed them I've left for California. So, the basics. My whole name's Chip David Whitelaw Logan. Most people call me by the name Chip, so why don't you ride along the bandwagon?. Back in the Philippines, I used to go to Ateneo De Manila University, took up almost one year of Political Science. But I had to go here because of family issues.
So now, I'm in Bel Aire. That's in Los Angeles, California. Taking up culinary arts in The Art Institute Of California. I got so bored with my life here that i've decided to study cooking. It's nothing big, it's not like i'm gonna be opening up a restaurant in the future. But i've always wanted to learn new stuff. My records aren't clear with my past school so i'm not a regular student. I attend a few classes, here and there. Football got me into that school. I'm part of the varsity team, quarterback. Culinary arts, my family, and my life here made me miss my one year of Political Science back in the Philippines. It's sad really. Because now, my batchmates aren't my batchmates anymore. They're in the higher batch now. I'd only be seeing my classmates around school now, not inside the classroom. And i'd be with lower classmen. Some of them are my friends, and they know me so well. Facing them, will be somewhat shameful.
I was supposed to rant using this post. But blogspot won't let me. So, i'm saving it for another post.
