Ako to Mismo

                Ako si Jomar Comia Escobido. Ipinanganak noong ika-2 ng Marso taon 1995. Ang mga magulang ay sina Restituto Lantican Escobido Jr. at Marlyn Comia Escobido. May kapatid na nagngangalang Jeremy Comia Escobido. Ang komposisyong ito ay magsasalaysay ng aking buhay mula pagkasilang hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

                Ang litrato sa taas, ayon kay papa hindi pa daw ako masyadong nakakalakad kaya inaalalayan ako dahil nagpipilit daw akong lumakad.

                Ang sumunod na larawan ay ang aking 1^st Birthday kasama ko diyan ang aking Tita Loida. Bago daw kunan yang picture na yan naiyak daw ako. Dahil daw sa lobo. Madami daw akong handa noon, dahil nga sa ang papa ko ay pastor yung mga member ng church ay nag-ambag para daw sa aking unang kaarawan. Halos litson na nga lang daw ang kulang. Dahil talagang iba’t ibang pagkain ang naihanda. At yung cake ko daw ay bigay ng Ninong Rodel ko.

                Ang sumunod naman na litrato ay kuha noong may outing ang church namen. Dahil nga sa water Baptism ng bagong miyembro ng aming kapulungan. Kasama ko sa litrato ang aking kapatid (kanan) at ang aking pinsan na si Aldrin (yung yapos ko).

                Ito naman yong kuha noong nagkaroon ng valentines celebration sa aming simbahan. Katabi ko diyan sa picture ang anak ng ka churchmate namen. Hindi ko na nga lang tanda yung pangalan.

                Bilang parte ng pamilyang may pananalig sa Diyos ako ay naging aktibo din sa mga gawaing pangsimbahan. At ito nga yung kuha noong malapit na ang pasko. Dahil isinasadula namin ang pagsilang ng ating tagapagligtas na si Jesus. Ako ay gumanap bilang si Jospeh ang ama ni Jesus.

                At eto naman, parte ng pagiging aktibo ko sa simbahan ay umaawit din ako dati, dati lang dahil ngayon hirap na yung boses ko sa pag kanta. Natugtog na lang ako ng gitara o kaya ay keyboard. Ang picture ay kuha noong 2^nd anniversary ng aming church. Special number ako diyan.

                At siyempre hindi rin naman puro simabahan ang buhay namen. Nakikisalimuha din naman kame. Ito nga yung kasal ng Tito Christian namen. Napangasawa niya si Ate Rachel. At yung nasa picture nga ay reception sa Arago. Kasama ko diyan sina mama, papa at yung hindi ko alam ang pangalan na batang babae. Pero ang alam ko kamag-anak din namen siya.

                Isa pa ay ang pag-abay ko sa kasal. Bihira ang hindi nakakaabay sa kasal habang bata pa. Kahit isa ng beses lang. Dito sa picture na to hindi ko lang alam kung sino ang ikinasal. Pero ang tanda ko lang ay yung kapartner ko dito. At yun ay ang anak ng kapwa pastor ni papa. Hindi ko lang din tanda ang pangalan. Itong kuhang ito ay sa Open Door Baptist Church o mas kilala ngayon na Open Door Christian Academy.

                Kung papansinin ninyo halos ng kabataan ko ay maikli ang buhok ko. Kaya ngayong medyo lumaki na ako. Yung buhok ko nag iba din kahit papaano. At kung papansinin ninyo yung height ko medyo maliit ako noon. Kahit yung boses ko maliit din. Pag nga may makakkita saken ngayon na dati pa akong kilala ay naggugulat sapgkat ibang iba na ang boses ko ngayon.

                At eto naman grade six o grade five na ako diyan. Napagtripan lang na magpicture. Hehehehe. Naaalala ko noong grade five sa unang pagkakataon nakasama ako sa top ten sa aming classroom. At ako nga ang 1^st honor sa klase. Paborito ko noon ang subject na science at hate ko naman ang math. Napakahirap naman kase. At noong grade five din ako unang nagkaroon ng crush. At ang pangalan Patricia. Dito rin ako unang nagkaroon ng babaeng bestfriend at siya na nga yun.

                Tapos grade six, paborito ko pa rin ang science ayaw pa rin sa math. At noon nga, sa pagkahilig ko sa science minsan pag may tinetrain si Sir Quilla ako muna ang pinaglelecture ni sir sa mga handle niyang section, yun na nga ang Pilot B, Pilot A at FL. Nga pala sa San Pablo Elementary School ako nag elementary. Natatandaan ko pa nga ay nag shooting kame dati noon ng First day high para sa aming english project. Enjoy ako dun. At nung time ngang yun. Dun din nagsimula ang isang pagkakaibigan na natuloy sa aking first girlfriend si Carol. Tumagal ng 1 ½ year, tapos di ko rin kinaya. Mahirap din palang panindigan. Bata pa talaga ako.

                At eto graduation, nakatapos  ng elementarya.

                At eto na ako ngayon. Nag-aaral sa Col. Lauro D. Dizon Mem. National High School. Nasa science section ako. Mahirap ang pressure ng science section pero masaya. Dito ko nakilala yung mga kaibigan ko sa kalokohan at katuwaan. Dito ko natutunan ang iba’t ibang computer games na kinahuhumalingan o ngayon, Cabal, SF, Bandmaster at marami pang iba.

                Isa talaga sa hindi ko malilimutan ay ang paglaban namen sa Regional School Press Conference. Kasama ako sa radio broadcasting team. At nag first kame kaya nga lalaban kame ngayong April sa Butuan City. Nakakakaba kahit papano, pero masaya dahil nadagdagan naman ang aking mga kaibigan. Mga kaibigan mula sa iba’t ibang school, andyan ang Canossa, MSC, City High, St. Joseph at Liceo. Sa RSPC ko din nakilala ang aking special someone na itatago ko na lng sa tawag na “POSH.”

                At parte ng high school ang JS prom. At siyempre hindi ko yun pinalampas, at sa totoo nga nito isa ako sa mg MC ng gabing iyon. Mahirap talaga, aminado ako sa sarili ko. Pero siyempre napagtatagumpayan naman.

                At ang pinaka huli nga naming ginawa sa school ay ang Eco tour. Para yun sa paggawa ng aming Research paper. Isa sa masayang pangyayari noon ay noong umakyat kame sa Art Center napakahirap dahil sa napakatarik noon. At sa daan may makikita kang kung anu-ano tulad ng papuntang langit. Grabe 3.5 kilometers din yun. Pero pagdating sa taas. Sulit sa ganda ng view. Picture time kameng mga boys noon. Kasi kame ang lageng nauuna. Namamahinga kame nag dumating ang mga babae. At pabalik mas madali ng kaunti pero mahirap pa din. Sa daan nga may nakasalubong pa kameng babae na nakaputi akala namen multo kaya kame ay nakahandang tumakbo kung sakali. Pero hindi eh.

ITUTULOY...

I am a Responsible Netizen

My Blogs name History

Connoisseur

Jomar C. Escobido

Connoisseur means expert. But don’t be misinterpret on m, because I am not really expert in everything maybe in some way but not at all.

I decided to make this as my blogs name because it suits my dream, my vision in life. Because I am the person who wants so many things in life. I want to be a guitar expert, a game master expert on the online game that I dream to be employed someday. I want have my own family. To be an expert husband and dad to my family. I want to become expert for my future.

So I decided to start it now. In making this blog I can put together the memories when I am starting to become expert. So when I am an expert one, I can look back to these memories. And I can say to my son and daughter, “This is me when I was starting to become a Connoisseur.”

BUOD NG KUWENTO:

                Si Percy Jackson ay isang high school student. May kakaiba siyang talento ang tumagal sa ilalim ng tubig sa hindi pang karaniwang tagal.

                Samantala sa Olympus ay nagkakagulo dahil sa pagnakaw sa lightning volt ni Zeus at ang pangunahing suspek ay si Percy Jackson.

                Dahil dito si Heidi’s na may masamang balak ay pinuntahan sina percy at ipinakuha ang kanyang ina. At para mabawi ni percy ang kanyang ina ay kailangan niyang madala ang lightning volt.

                Sa Olympus naman ay kapag hindi naibalik ni Percy kay Zeus ang kanyang lightning volt ay sisirain ni Zeus ang Daigdig.

                Dahil sa kanyang ina ang lahat ng paraan ay gagawin niya mabawi lamang ito, at dito nga kasama niya ang dalawa niyang kaibigan sina Annabeth at Grover.

Si Mico na Lumang Mouse

“Minsan may mga bagay tayo na hindi na natin pinapahalagahan dahil sa anyo nito.”

               

“O, ayan bagong reformat nanaman ang mga computer naten, malilinis na uli sila,” ang wika ni Ginoong Lacsam. Papalabas na siya ng computer room ng may napansin siya. “Teka luma na itong mouse na ito ah. Mapalitan na nga ito ng bago. ” Pinalitan nga ni Ginoong Lacsam ang mouse na iyon. At ang lumang  mouse ay ipinatong niya sa taas ng drawer na malapit sa pintuan. Pagkalabas ni Ginoong Lacsam...

                “Woohoo! Yehey!” ang sigawan ng mga Cpu, Monitor, keyboard at ang mga magaganda at bagong mouse. “Hindi na uli ako paloko-loko hahaha! “ sabi ni CPU Juan. “ Eh loko-loko ka pa rin naman kahit nareformat ka na! “ ang sabi ni Kiboda na sinundan nang tawanan ng lahat.

                Nagkakatuwaan ang lahat maliban kay Mico dahil sa nahihiya siyang makisali sa tawanan nila. Siya lang kasi ang nakahiwalay sa kanila at walang kasama. Subalit naglakas loob siyang lapitan sila at makisali sa tawanan nila.

                “Hello” ang wika ni Mico kay Monita. “ Hi...” hindi pa natatapos ang salitang sasabihin ay naudlot nang makita ni Monita na si Mico ito. “Yuck! Si kadiring, sira-sira na pwedeng pwedeng kasama ni CPU Sickten. “ Napatinging ang lahat. At nagtawanan “ Hahaha! Buti pa nga itong si CPU Sickten napapakinabangan kahit papano, eh ikaw! Wala kang kwenta! Wala kang silbe! Umalis ka dito dun ka sa basurahan! “ ang sabi ni Morquito na katabi ni CPU Sickten. Nasaktan ng lubusan si Mico sa sinabi ni Morquito sinabi niya sa sarili tama si Morquito kaya sa isang sulok na lmang siya nagmukmok. Samantalang ang karamihan ay nagkakatuwaan.

                Nasa kalagitnaan sila ng kwentong kayabangan ni Morquito ng biglang umubo si ng malakas si CPU Sickten. Naglikha ito ng apoy at tiyak na maabot nito si Morquito pag nagtagal pa ang apoy at masusunog silang lahat. “ Ahhh! Tulungan ninyo ako ayaw kong malitson! ” ang sigaw ni Morquito. Subalit wala namang makatulong kay Morquito dahil lahat sila ay nakafixed maliban kay Mico. “ Mico tulungan mo ako pakiusap, ayaw kong malitson dito, pakiusap.” Ang sambit ni Morquito kay Mico.

                Sa sinabing ito ni Morquito naalala niya ang sarili nang nagmamakaawa siyang isali sa kanilang kasiyahan. At imbis na isali ay kinutya pa siya. Subalit isang pikit-mulat ay agad siyang tumakbo sa tapat ng pintuan at ubod lakas niyang binuksan ang pintuan. Dahil doon nakalabas ang usok at amoy ng sunog na meron sa loob ng computer at ito ay naagapan nina Ginoong Lacsam.

                Matapos masiguro ni Ginoong Lacsam na ayos na ang lahat ay naglabas siya ng bagong CPU kapalit ni CPU Sickten at ito ay latest model. Subalit nasunog din pala ang mouse kasama ni CPU Sickten. Naalala niya ang mouse na ipinatong niya sa may drawer at sinubukan kung puwede pa. At nang matapos subukan, “ Aba, puwede pa pala ito. Maganda pang gamitin hindi lang nalilinis. “ ang wika ni Ginoong Lacsam. Pagkalabas niya...

                Tahimik ang lahat, si Morquito ang bumasag ng katahimikan “ Mico, salamat sa pagliligtas mo samen kanina. Kung wala ka siguro wala na din kame lalo na ako nalitson na sigurado ako. Pati patawad sa mga nasabi ko sayo. “ “Wala iyon,” ang sagot ni Mico na may ngiti. At nagkatuwaan ang lahat kasama si Mico.

My Favorite Band

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

History

[edit]Early years (2001–2004)

The band was started by childhood friends Ronnie Winter and Duke Kitchens in an AP music theory class which they shared in 2001. They were both in other bands, covering songs in the vein of Blink 182 and MxPx. After members from Duke and Ronnie's other bands (Dishonest and The Recovery) joined them, the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was officially formed in 2003. The name 'Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' was chosen by the band voting for random words they threw up on a wall.^[1]

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus released an untitled demo with three songs in mid-2004. After adding nine more songs a few months later, the band released their self titled 12-song LP that same year. While popular in their local scene, the band found it difficult to secure label support. Their fan base continued to build to an almost unheard-of level for a local band, in-turn attracting New York-based A&R/Management executive Steve Tramposch. Just a few months later, following a flurry of industry attention, the band signed with Virgin Records after Tramposch accepted a Senior A&R title there.

[edit]Don't You Fake It (2005-2007)

In 2006, they released their first LP, Don't You Fake It with the singles "Face Down", "False Pretense", "Your Guardian Angel", and "Damn Regret".

The album was certified gold on November 27, 2006 by the RIAA for sales shipments exceeding 500,000 copies.^[2] In February 2007, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus headlined the US Take Action Tour organized for the prevention of youth suicide, along with bands such as My Chemical Romance and Rise Against.^[3] Their song "In Fate's Hands" is featured in the video game Madden NFL 07, their song "Face Down" is featured in the video games Saints Row 2 and MX vs. ATV: Untamed, and their song "False Pretense" is featured in the movie Never Back Down (2008)

From 2006-2008 the band did several headliner and supporting shows with bands like 30 Seconds to Mars, Madina Lake, The Audition,Saosin, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Taking Back Sunday, Lorene Drive, The Used, Monty Are I, Amber Pacific, Boys Like Girls, Halifax,Emery, A Static Lullaby, and So They Say.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Don't You Fake It Deluxe Edition (CD/DVD) was released on February 23, 2007. The CD features the album and two exclusive songs, an acoustic version of "Face Down" and a never released out of Australia bonus track "Disconnected".

On May 3, 2007, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus performed on Fort Rucker, Alabama to help benefit the rebuilding of Enterprise High Schoolafter it was destroyed by a tornado on March 1, 2007.

Also, in May 2007, the band's single, "Face Down", was featured in the movie Georgia Rule.

In a 2007 interview with the Florida Entertainment Scene, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus teamed up with Virgin Records to raise funds for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. They also headlined the Take Action! Tour which sponsors awareness against teen suicide,against animal cruelty, and domestic violence.

"In Fate's Hands" was used in Madden NFL 07 as well as the 2007 EVER OSL Starleague (Ongamenet). Additional songs used during that OSL season were "Waiting" and "Atrophy".

[edit]Lonely Road (2008-2010)

In June 2007, according to Billboard.com, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus began to work on their second album, Lonely Road, that had "a tentative release date being summer 2008."^[4] The band was then pulled out of their confirmed appearances at the Australian Soundwave festival tour 2008, after their label president promised to pay money that was owed and have the band in the studio, but instead didn't pull through.^{[citation needed]}

In April 2008, the band began an acoustic tour on the east coast in various locations with the group Amaru, who is from the same home town. Ronnie said that the tour felt like they were "Getting back where we all started."

After pulling out of the 2008 Soundwave festival, the band took part in the line-up for 2009.

On September 30, 2008, the band announced in a MySpace blog that on October 3, they would be premiering a demo version of a song from the upcoming album. The song was to be available a day earlier for members of the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus "Alliance" fan group. However, the studio of the song "Pen and Paper" was released to members of the "Alliance" fan group on October 9, and was released on the band's MySpace the following day. Another song, "You Better Pray," the first single off of "Lonely Road", was premiered worldwide on PlanetRadio1073.com [1] for free listening beginning on October 21 and began streaming the next day on the band's MySpace page.

Their second studio album, titled Lonely Road,^[5] was released on February 3, debuting in the fourteenth spot in The Billboard 200, and was produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Daughtry, Less Than Jake, Hoobastank, P.O.D., All-American Rejects, Seether,Cold).

Beginning in October 2008, Matt Carter had replaced the former guitar player. Carter was seen working as a tech for the band in the winter and spring of 2008. He had previously jammed with the band before, but decided to pursue something else. Matt was asked to take his spot and has agreed to play with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. In an interview with a Jacksonville newspaper, Ronnie was asked whether or not Matt was officially in the band, to which he responded, "I don't know. I guess he's in the band. We're taking it slow."Matt has been playing with red jumpsuit ever since.^[6]

In support of this album the band has done many tours in the Winter of 08/09 and the Spring of 2009 with bands such as Shinedown, Framing Hanley, Tickle Me Pink, and more.

On March 20, 2009, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus released an EP titled Shock Session, featuring acoustic versions of "Pen & Paper", "You Better Pray", and "Face Down".

At the end of May 2009, they announced along with Hollywood Undead, Mest, and The Sleeping that they would be doing a summer tour for the months of June and July, playing mostly club and small venue shows. They will be rejoining Monty Are I for an August 2009 tour throughout Canada and California.

[edit]The Hell or High Water EP and next album (2010–present)

On January 29, 2010, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus announced via their Twitter page that they would have a new EP out in late July/August.

In February 2010, the band fired long time manager Steve Tramposch and also parted ways with their label Virgin records, citing the poor promotion of Lonely Road. They decided to release music independently. According to lead singer Ronnie Winter, “At this point we want to stay completely 100% independent for as long as possible.”^[7]. The first such song was "Valentine," which was released for free on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2010.

On June 22, 2010, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus announced via MySpace blog that their upcoming EP release would be titled The Hell or High Water, and that the first song from it, "Choke," would be released on June 28, 2010 as a free download. The EP was recorded in the band's studio in Middleburg, Florida, and was mixed and mastered by Paul Lapinski.^[8] This is their first release following their departure fromVirgin Records and it was released on August 24, 2010. The full-length album following the EP will be out in early 2011.^[9][10]

The music video for the first single from the EP - "Choke", was premiered at purevolume.com on August 25, 2010 in support of the EP's release. It was part one of a three-part series, followed by "Don't Hate" and "Hell or High Water." It shows characters killing record executive-type personnel, running from the police, and then dying in the final video. The moral was violence never solves anything.

In October 2010, the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus entered the studio to record their third full length album, finishing in December of 2010 with producer John Feldmann.^{[citation needed]} The scheduled release date of the album is March 2011.^[11]

January 2011 Red Jumpsuit did a three day stint (the 8th 9th and 10th) playing shows in three lower Florida cities with the up and coming band Fit For Rivals. Fit For Rivals has been a very close band with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus so it is assumed that they will tour together again.

During March 2011 the band announced they will be departing on a UK tour alongside Scottish Screamo band Yashin and UK rockers LYU.
