Music in the car (or van)

On our way home from Bulacan (coz it's Lyrics Christening)
(This was of course said in tagalog but I translated it in english)
tack: Is the music fast?
michelle: yes.
tack: like this? tan-tan-tin-tan..
michelle: yup!

after a few minutes
tack: the sound I'm hearing is so weird. tun-tan(pause)tun-tan(pause)tun-tam..
michelle: that's the music


after a few minutes again..
tack: is the music slow?
michelle: yes!


Yes I'm really heard music.. Feedback+sound.. A very soft sound.. I think I'm hearing it because we're in a closed space.. I think. The feedback sound is still there plus the sound..

Music in my CI

It's the 2nd tuning of my CI tomorrow.. I'm so excited to hear more noise (of the world).. Ha! I'm always excited.. Anyway, I'm still hearing the same buzzing sound over and over coz the world is so noisy.. Haha! It becomes louder and it changes beat from time to time.. Depending on what the sound is.. Last night, Kayze drop by our house while she's listening to her mp3.. I showed her my CI Speech Processor Battery Pack that I'm currently wearing. I was pretending that it's also an mp3 player coz it looks like i'm just wearing an earphone. I kept on nodding my head, pretending to hear music.. Haha! Adik! :P Then Kayze put the earphone on my ear. But of coure I won't hear anything. So she place it behind the magnet of my speech processor. Yes! I could hear tugutuk-tuk. It was even attacted by the magnet and kept on sticking. :)

Bzt-Bzt-Bzt-Bzt-Bzt-Bzt

That's the sound I'm hearing right now.. And it's non other than the electric fan beside me..

I was kinda disappointed this afternoon because I thought I'll be wearing my CI while MAY Birthday was on-going.. Then when I placed the speech processor on my ear, I can't hear anything and the light keeps on blinking, which means it run out of battery already.. What?! The battery has been replaced last night.. So, when I asked my mom to change the battery when we arrived at home, we found out that the blue seal/sticker on the battery hasn't been peeled off.. Hay! :P I could have heard a lot of noise this afternoon..

That's basically the sound/noise I'm hearing.. I'm excited for MAY Birthday Project tomorrow.. I'm excited because I'm excited.. Plus (I think) I'll get to hear a lot of sound/noise..

Happy Birtday ME

It was my grandma's birthday yesterday so I went upstairs (her house is on the 3rd floor) to greet her.. While we were having our dinner, my dad was choked with the shrimp he's eating.. He kept on coughing and coughing and coughing.. Everytime he coughs, the sound i hear becomes louder.. Until the piece of shrimp was out of his throat..

I'm so noisy!

Oh yes! I could hear the feedback of my voice.. The buzzing sound that I'm hearing becomes louder every time I shout, it's 3 seconds delay though.. I keep on shouting right now like a crazy person.. If only I could let you hear what I'm hearing.. Haha.

Tito Archie

It was my godchild Timmy's Christening this morning.. Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend since we were all tired from the party lastnight.. But still we payed them a visit in their home in Cainta very late this afternoon.. They also rented a videoke machine and of course I heard its feedback sound.. As usual Tito Archie is super duper noisy, drunk or not.. Mostly it's non-sense stuffs to laugh about.. But it really doesn't matter now coz the super great thing is I'm hearing a feedback from his voice.. Everytime he talks (a lot), the sound I'm hearing becomes louder.. As in! I said that when my CI is already on its final tuning and it won't work 100% good (there's a 50/50 chance since I got NF2), it'll be 100% whenever I hear Tito Archie talk.. Haha!

May 17

It's my birthday and hearing celebration plus it was Maro's birthday plus my dad (May10), my mom (May27) and my lola (May20).. My mom rented a videoke machine.. Oh yes! I didn't only felt the bass and heard some "tok. tok.", but i can tell if the music is fast or slow.. I could also hear the pounding of mic.. It's a party so balloons are present though those balloons are meant for bursting.. Yup! I heard it. Then later that night, my not-so-hearing improved.. Kayzeleen "Batching" Banico tried shouting beside my CI.. I didn't hear what she said but I know she spoke something coz I heard a feedback.. Yey! Then after my party, while Maro and I are watching t.v., I recognized that the feedback I'm hearing becomes louder everytime I'm near the speaker of the t.v.. So i put my ear beside the t.v.'s speaker.. It became louder.. Then the sound's gone.. The magnet of my CI was attached to the t.v.. Haha! The magnet and the t.v. attracted each other.. Yikee! :P

1st 2nd & 3rd Noise

After my CI was activated, the first sound I heard was the sound of the air-con inside the room.. I heard something vibrating.. They said, it might be the a/c.. One of the staff turned of the a/c, and the vibrating sound was gone.. On.. I'm hearing it.. Off.. Silence (not really, i have tinnitus).. On.. Off.. On.. My first sound, the air-con..

Before leaving PGH (Philippine General Hospital), we dropped by Ward 14B to say "Hello!" to Celina, my nurse cousin.. While i was rolling (Talitha was pusher.. wahaha!), i heard a buzzing sound.. Then I asked Talitha, what's that noise, she said it's the electric fan..

On our way home, at A. Luna Street, we passed by a teaser parade with banners, people and of course, drums coz it's fiesta somewhere near the place and they are letting the people know that their Antacruzan will pass by tonight.. Anyway, I usually hear the beat of the drums.. Just "tuk! tuk! tuk!" sound.. But I was so happy with the sound I heard from the Ati-atihan, "tuk, tog, tik, tak, tug.." I heard not only the beat of the drums but the rhythm as well.. I can tell how lively the music was..
