If you're going to ask about the title, it might be because 3 out of these five different subjects in this post is related to the punk-rockers from New Jersey, My Chemical Romance.

Carol Fest: Each school has it's own "contest" for the Christmas Season. St. James has its parol-making contest between the 1st-4th years, while Quezon City Science High School has its Carol Fest. Ours was held this afternoon. And our class's presentation was (in my words), a total mess-up. Can you believe it? I actually saw my dignity and Self-respect fly away from me as we performed. That was so humiliating. Congratulations to the sections who won (Go Darwin-3!)

My Chemical Romance: The last time I made an updatem you may read about a guy named Ronald whom I saw in the mall the day that I updated. Yepp, I had a totally huge crush on him at that time. Now, I've got this totally massive crush on someone else, Gerard Arthur Way or much more commonly known as Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance frontman). Yeah! I first saw his newly-dyed locks in myspace.com. And I saw them perform during SpikeTV's Scream Awards. Then, I thought he was totally cute! But, when I saw the "Welcome to the Black Parade" video, I developed this massive crush on him!

Anyway, last week. They reached number 1 in the MYX Hitchart. They're probably the first foreign band to reach number one for about 2-3 years now. So, Congratulations to My Chemical Romance. Hopefully, their next single (Famous Last Words) will do as well.

The Black Parade: The Black Parade is My Chemical Romance's latest album. It's composed of 13 tracks with one hidden track included (Blood, which was written by Gerard Way, Mikey Way and Ray Toro). In an interview, Gerard has mentioned that if My Chemical Romance was going to be remembered for years to come, it would be because of this album. This album was going to solidify My Chemical Romance and would be what would make us remember these punk-rockers for years to come.

Famous Last Words: Famous Last Words is the 13th track of the 3rd album and is my favourite song. It's really good! The video was shot back-to-back with their first single "Welcome to the Black Parade" which resulted in a car accident due to their exhaustion. Gerard broke all the ligaments in his foot :(

The video is very simple, yet, it's the most dark and dramatic our of all the videos that they've done. The video is set to air in America in January 2007 (January 22, 2007, apparently), and is already being aired in UK's MTV2. Watch out for their new video.

Off-campus: Our off-campus trips began in November but since I was too lazy to update, I can't remember a lot. Although, I do remember being nearly run-over by a car in UP and not caring. I just stared at the car. :)

That's about it. Anyway, since it's nearly our Christmas break, I'll try to update more.

P.S. I almost forgot to mention, Gerard Way was voted "Almighty King of Rock" beating out M.Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold and Serj Tankian of System of a Down in MTV2's "All That Rocks". Gerard won with an astonishing 63% of the votes. (No wonder I love him so friggin' much! Haha!)

I'll be posting Gerard pics in my next update. Watch out for that.
