Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right

hello people. yup, this is it. 2005 has come to an end. compliments of the season. everything that happened this entire year is now history. for me i guess, this year has been the most eventful year in my entire life. i cant believe all this is going to be just memories now. its like, so fast. its like i just started first day of school the other day then now its like, december 30th! cheese bloody pie man... and for the record, the picture of syl and michelle with me is absolutely retarded. its cool. taken just before midnight mass on christmas day. hahah thats why i put it up. haha....
so maybe now i should look back at the entire year and recollect everything that happened to me. hmm. ill do it in months. so here's a very very very brief summary of the year.

january - febuary: asshole skater boy, fought with parents daily, never got to go out past like, 8pm (HAHA!), stupid asswipe of a child if you ask me. band like, anyhow only. three of us, irwin, brendan and me.

march - april: still skating, spent most afternoons jumping around on that stupid piece of wood and urethane. only really cared about like, skating and playing the guitar. lameass dipshit. i actually listened to bands like a7x and all that. crazy asshole. learned more about emo and stuff. but didnt really care. still listened to blink every day without fail. still do. theyre my favourite band. yay.

may-june: njs. sigh. those were the times. i started exploring the world of music more. explored the various genres outside of my pop punk world such as ska, metal, old school punk rock, and i started liking it so much.
went to disneyland in june. clad in rancid shirts and tapered black jeans. horripulation.

july-august: tried to dabble in anarchy. cause the music i listened to in june all talked about anarchy. damn frigging lame. but went on as a battle in me. band officially formed and like, totally confirmed in july 2. cereal killers. cool. i was still pretty much an asswipe. then towards the end of august i realised that anarchy sucks. sex pistols can go to hell. all the sa suh belas fights started. watched cky and jackass religiously. 'sunday morning breakfast crew'. hahaha..

september-october: my brithday on the 6th. moron madness gig. it was really moronic. band more serious. gave up skating completely. ditched the board. focused more on guitar and band and stuff. stopped with all the old school punk rock and ska and all that shit. began to look at the other side of life. a more meaningful side. began to appreciate emo more. turned to listen to more emopunk type of music. roots still the same in pop punk but turned to bands like taking back sunday, fall out boy, all that instead of only blink, mxpx, greenday, sum41 all...

november-december: best frigging holidays of my life. finally getting more freedoms and stuff. went and got confirmed and all, went for YES camp, best spiritual experience ever. i can say ive grown up. bought new guitar. epiphone sg special. red cherry colour. sexy. yay! new bed. yay! sloryae broke up. cb. nvm got slof. power. rocking holidays, i tell you. this is the best yet. i destroyed all the raw jackass rah rah bam bam smash ideas in my head and replaced it with more like, i dunno, better healthy stuff. like. i dont know how to explain this. con camp and yes camp changed my mindset. i guess im a better person. i can say that for the record.


so yup. i guess ive grown. with my friends and family. its really cool to just look back and remember everything. i bet there are quite a few things i left out there. but heck, its just a brief summary. this year is my favourite year. so much has happened, so many ups and downs, so much to learn from. all the experiences this year have taught me something. 'remembrance of the past, life hasnt been much of a blast.' -found in adventure books by my band, sameoldifference. haha! yup i guess i can say that. but i guess im a much more stable and confident guy now than a few months back. i love what 2005 did for me. and my friends. we journeyed and experieced everything together, even the bad stuff is to be celebrated. cause thats what shaped us. so cheers to the new year and another chance for us to get it right. next year is going to be a huge challenge for most of us. taking o levels and all. were all very smart. but lazy. haha okay maybe thats me only. okay bye i think ive said and done what i want to do. till next time then. hurray! i love you all!

feeling broke? thats cause you have many friends.

hello, there. christmas is coming. yep. what did you get me? nothing? cool. i spent alot of money on all your christmas presents. 46 presents cost alot. and i bet after all that, there will be all the other dipshits i havent bought presents for who would be cursing and swearing at me for not buying for them. i mean, what the hell am i, santa claus? i know my name is nicholas la, but dude, i dont have any elves!

and i guess, i am in His demand.

Hello party people. Im here again, and hoo boy was last week a super week. I love the holidays. We had a little gig party thing on the 10th, saturday, at Priss's house and it was pretty good lah. the crowd was bloody fantastic and the booze was there.
lucky i didnt have much of it. I would have gone wasted again like the other time. thank God for my conscience. i hope thats how you spell it. well SLOF was really good i think. Im not just saying that cause they were my brother band or whatever. or maybe I just like them. i dont know, theyre just good. theyre so much closer to each other than my band is, and i guess thats prolly how they make originals. they have two and they rock. and i love joey's new guitar. hail that guitar. the fretboard damn nice. joey if youre reading this which i think you would, uhm, i love your guitar. okay? yay! Read all about the gig at http://sameoldifference.blogspot.com if you care to know more.

Well asides from the party and all that I went to this church retreat called the YES camp, and the church people would definately know what im talking about i guess. but then again how many church peeps even read my blog? hahahha!
Well in the YES camp which was highly highly highly spiritual, lots of my friends went into tongues. like Irwin and Martin and Shaun, woah they were like so easy. When I saw them like, resting in the spirit, experiencing the spirit even though I wasnt, it opened up my eyes and from then on i realised, yes, the holy spirit does exist, and he does come down to people like us. Shiam and I were like so slow to get it. and i still dont get it all the time. maybe my mind and heart's not open enough. But God has his time. But during that short time when i did get tongues, it felt awesome. I want it again. One thing's for sure, now i realised, yep i am in His demand. what was I put on earth for? i finally realised what im living for, what everyone is living for, be he/her catholic, christian, buddhist, whatever, were all living to do God's work, to spread his word and to live by Him, for Him and with Him. And this kind of really gives me rest, i think. relief maybe. Cause before this i was like, what the heck is life for. when i wasnt living for God, life was so miserable. Just floating around, basically doing nothing with the beautiful life God gave me. And now, i realised. Life is for God. I was put on earth to help others. so this new found purpose in life is just so, well i dont know how to put it in words. its just fantastic. no more vulgarities and shit for me. na uh.
Other than that, the camp changed my whole mindset. It changed me in a sort of different way that con camp changed me. in a more spirtual way. I guess. I dont know how to put it, really. I was expecting something else, but this, woah. can also lah!

Oh oh oh. and I did up out new band logo. go to our website to see what it looks like. its on the front page, just before you enter the main site. yup i guess thats all. im done bye thanks for reading.

Well. here's a little update on the stuff thats happening now. seems Sloryae disbanded. Our brother band who has been with us all our past gigs is gone now. six feet under. here's to the good times, Sloryae.
but moving on, now there's the 'reformed sloryae' which is SLOF. basically its just sloryae minus two plus one. hahaha
And us, the guys from Sameoldifference have agreed to make a combined EP with SLOF by about june 2006. so that'll be rad. keep on the lookout for it, guys and girls.
Lets see, what else has hapened? oh the D and C thing. hoo boy. wonderful innit? I wont go further incase some people get angry all.... blady nonsense

k so while I was gone I went for con camp and got confirmed and all that so im on a spiritual high now just like all my fellow confirmants saying 'hallelujah' every hour and smiling at how blissful life is and all the blessings that God gave us. Yup the camp was really good. Improved the relationship between me and my parents. And just changed my whole outlook on life. The feeling will fade i know, but the attitide wont change. On top of that im going for the YES camp so I bet it'll be a blast. so, hurray im a confirmed young catholic. whoohoo. praise the lord!
