of shame and music videos.

Oh dear, I just re-read my last post and it didn't sound like me. Scary! :)) Anyways, I am loving Taking Back Sunday a great deal this summer. Even if they sounded better in Where You Want To Be, I prefer listening to Louder Now. HAHAHA.

LIAAARR! LIAAAR! If we're keeping score...

I love their vocalist, Adam Lazzara. Really. You should see their music videos. What I love about him the most is that...well, when he sings, he will always have weird expressions on his face...which I can totally relate to, 'cause I do it all the time, when I lip-sync into songs and when I'm trying to annoy my little sister. It proves to be effective. 'Cause in the end of me and Chiara's argument, she sticks her fingers into her nose and she tries to touch me with that finger.

Disgusting, yes. But I live with it. 'Cause sometimes, I do the same to her.

Baboy!

Anyways.

I love the video for Twenty-Twenty Surgery. Lazzara looks smokin'!!! Haha. He should always keep the shades on, though. The music video is some sort of based on the prison concers that Johnny Cash used to do. I forgot what they were called, but can always wikipedia it. I hate Lazzara's nose ring, though. Peace.

Twenty-Twenty Surgery

You gotta love the Lazzara. :)

OH! I ABSOLUTELY adore Liar's music video:
TAKE NOTE OF 1:08-1:10. i love this part.
yes, that's when he pops his collar. :))

Liar (it takes one to know one)

It's absolute genius. :)) Lazzara looks nice in this one too. It's funny, because I viewed it again, and when I was lip-syncing to it, I do the exact faces that Lazzara makes! :)) Soulmates! =p

OH!

Also, you gotta love the Jared. I mean Jared Leto, of 30 seconds to Mars. I just don't say it because he's hot. He can sing too! And their music videos have depth, and most of the time, they're movie like. Here are some vids:

From Yesterday

First American music video to be entirely filmed at China. Beautiful. 7 minutes long, but waiting for it to load is worth the wait. It's complex and puzzling, and that's what's beautiful about it. Also, watch out for the 3 short seconds when Jared shows his knock-out abs. Beautiful, man I must say. I'm disappointed with the show on ETC, Sexiest, for not including him on the top 25. I mean, this man is brooding and sort-of stoic, he oozes sex appeal. Dang. Love love Jared Leto. :)

The Kill

Favorite song from 30 stm. The video's scary. Really scary and creepy. That's why you gotta watch it. Jared Leto looks really hot in this video. The hottest I've seen him so far. I like him this way. Kind of chubby-ish. Haha. The video's also complex and confusing, you have to watch it more than once to understand it. That's why you should love it.

we flyin first class...up in the sky. (:

This is my 405th post. Cool. When will I reach my 1000th post kaya? Grabe, this blog is so special to me. I didn't know I'd last this long. When others have given up and transferred and gone somewhere and then gone back again and left and whatever's next, I'm still here. And I guess I'll be seeing more of people this summer, due to their uhm, summer boredom. Or whatever, I don't know.

I find my life completely uninteresting, and I find ways to make it seem interesting, without lying or fabricating whatever. I don't do that, that's not right.

Which is the reason why I am completely suprised to see more than 1 circle in my NeoFlag counter! YEEEEEEEEY. :) People actually DO drop by here! Ang daya naman, leave your COMMENTS, people!!

Wow, people from Croatia and Bahrain manage to drop by. And Poland. AND ITALY!

Oh wow, who're the people from UK? Hala, my titos? [UNCLES] HIII! Hahaha. Send your love to Matty and Gaia for me, IF EVER you are reading this.

I SO miss my iPod. My baby! =(( I feel awfully sad. You want to know what happened?

We were hanging out at Danton's house, which had a pool [yeah, I have written about this house a couple of times before. the one in ayala alabang!!], and aivi, my friend/groupmate was using my ipod. She was fooling around with Lenard, so she pushed him to the pool. Then she went to side, and she SLIPPED down to the pool. Karma got back at her easy. What I wonder about is why I got karma'd too. What'd I do?

At first, I was kind of, it's ok, just pay for it. I didn't worry much, 'cause I thought it's just a blip, and it'll be fine the next day. I guess it wasn't. Up to now, it still won't work.

Aivi promised to pay for it anyways. Thanks Aivi! I really appreciate it.

And you know what, when I found out that it won't work anymore? I felt like crying. Really. It was a material thing, but I valued it a lot, and it's part of my daily routine. Now I practically live my life in silence, except when I am in front of the computer, 'cause I can always use my iTunes.

I miss my iPod. Really. I don't know why I feel sad without it. Maybe I got so attached to it, life's harder without it.

It DOESN'T help that some people around me go sashaying around with an iPod glued to their ears. Naiinggit ako. I feel jealous.

Music means a lot to me, in ways I cannot explain. Music can easily shift my mood. The lyrics, no matter how corny, chessy or whatever make me realize things. Music influences me. Music makes me dance. Music makes me lose control.

Music...is magic.

random rants

Did somebody take your tongue, in worries of the words that you couldn't say, that they could have saved them from? And I don't want to sleep without. So I bid to you, good night. Tonight, sleep tight, my love.

And that was The Velourium Camper I: Faint of Hearts by Coheed & Cambria. I love that song. It sounds different than the songs from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Mad. That's an awfully long title, by the way. I love a couple of songs from Good Apollo... though. Yeah.

I hope you die right now, will you drink my chemical? And if you cry out loud it will only make me feel too good... (Once upon your...Once upon your dead body...)

Ang MORBID. Hahaha. Ehwell. Sounds nice naman.

Nako. Limewire wouldn't let me download some songs by the Ramones. Ang daya. :( You guys know anywhere else where I could download Ramones songs?

Anyways. I'm craving for KFC. Extrreeemee HotShots, baby!

Also, there's nothing good on TV. It's so unfair. I want my Nickelodeon back. Seriously. There's always something good in Nick at this time of the day, at this day of the week. Awful. I also miss Girls in Love. That's a British series way back in Nick, and...well, I don't know if they still show it. I used to watch it with my Tito, who's a British citizen. He's a cool kid. He's the youngest among my mom's siblings. Haa haa haa.

I want to do good Photoshopping. If you get what I mean. You know... Hard stuff. Technical stuff. I want that. :( Maybe I'll take photoshop lessons this summer. That is, if my mom allows me to. Haha. I want to make my own vector images. Then maybe I'm going to share it online with you guys.

Wow. I'm so fond of posting long stuff nowadays. I'm being a hypocrite to Angeli. Eh bakit ba, bihira lang naman eh.

Wow. Malapit na matapos schoolyear. Frankly, I don't want to talk about it, 'cause I don't know if I want it to end or not. Seriously. It ending means, I don't get to see my friends... But I get to have freedom to do what I want, I guess... Also time to do more photoshopping. So...I really do NOT know anything.

OO NGA PALA. New layout! :) You guys like it? Huh? Huh? Do you?! Ang kuleeet. Hahaha. Well, I like it. It's kinda childish... Hahah. Voices nga pala yung kanta sa header. By Saosin. Download it, it's a nice song. Nice lyrics too.

What else? I WANT TO GO OUT. Out of town, I mean. Hey, that's gotta mean something. I'm usually the homebody. Now I want go out. I want to go to the beeaccchh naaaa! Yehey. I want to go to Punta Fuego uli. Grabbbeee.

boom boom. tgsh tgsh. tililing!

Listening to:

Famous Last Words - The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Choke on This - Let it Enfold You - Senses Fail
Martini Kiss - Let it Enfold You - Senses Fail
Noise and Kisses - The Used

Wow. Ang baboy nung last post ko. Yeah.

You know what I really, really want? I really, really want a MacBook. A PowerBook. With GarageBand and Adobe Photoshop in it. Everything I'll ever need. Then I'll escape. Sweet escape [YEAH.]. I'll lock myself up in my own room [If ever I'll ever have my own, own. Own sweet room].

You know what else I want? Either I take drum lessons, or continue my piano lessons. The thing about piano lessons are: I don't want to take piano lessons in Yamaha again, 'cause it's so boring, and it can be pretty tiresome to go. Tamad lang ako. You know. I want to do homeschooling. I mean, you know piano homeschooling. The thing about drum lessons are: you gotta have the set, you gotta have a PLACE to put the set, you gotta have a music room that's soundproof, and yeah, people might think you're doing it 'cause someone you liked does it...You should have seen the look on their eyes the moment they set eyes on Nicole's drawing. I mean, really. Even I was surprised. Never thought he'd portray me as a drummer. People were like, Nagd'drums ka? Ako naman parang, Hindi. Haha. Kawawa naman ako.

It's been years since I wanted to learn how to play the piano. Too bad, I'm way behind the young piano virtuosos out there, who're like, performing big time at my age. While I, am only learning the basics. Sayang. There was one friend of my dad's, and she told me I had the potential. That was way back. Now what. Maybe the potential's gone. Piano lessons are boring and all, but there's something that makes me want to go back. There's a certain grace to a pianist's body. The way they're coordinated when behind the piano. The concentration. The look on their face. There's something about it. And I want that.

Actually, it's been actually 3 years since I've wanted to play the drums. Seriously. And I still want to play them, up to now. There's just something attractive about playing them. Really. I'm not kidding. I'm not being plastic here. Heaven knows how long I've wanted to play those things. You know, when you're behind the set, you have this kind of freedom. I'm not the type who'd look like would play the drums. But, come on. I'm not putting myself under a stereoptype--ever. I'd do it, if I really want to. I mean, there are a lot of chick guitarists out in the scene already. So far, there's only one chick drummer I know, and she's Meg White, from the White Stripes. She's amazing. Well, no. I don't know. But I find her amazing, 'cause the White Stripes is a two-man band, but they come up with really amazing songs. Take Seven Nation Army, for example. That song's nice. (:

I'm not going to play the drums because someone I know plays the drums. Save me that shit.

I also want to go back to London. I swear, that city's magical. It's gives you this feeling like...you were meant to be in that city. You were meant to be there. Plus, who wouldn't appreciate the architectural structures (take Starbucks in a museum-looking building)? The thing about us Filipinos, is that usually, when we see something old, instead of enriching it, we tear it down, and create a new, sleek, minimalistic building out of it. Well, I appreciate the old buildings of London.

Lastly, I want a new layout. A neat one, and one that doesn't look like anything else. One that looks like Beekee did it. One that no one else can do, or duplicate. That's what I want.

everyone's entitled to their own drama moment anyway.

This is for the ones who believe their lives won't change, hoping that someday things will mend and be the same. And this is for the ones who have lost it all, and all that's left to gain. This is a simple reminder that the things we're blind to slip away.

How can I say I'll be okay?

And if I fall,through these days that go by without cause. Just a painful mistake has left me here on my own. And if I fall through these nights I can't seem to go on. Just a sign that you're with me gives me the strength to hold on.

Now that the line's been broken, I'm too afraid to just look back. The pages have left an empty space. You were all I had. Why does it have to be this way?

***

Won't you come over? You know that you want to. How does it feel to know I still want you?

Why do we always seem to want what we can't have? Lessons learned. But then I listen to my heart,and it says still run back for more. I'm happy for you.

But it breaks my heart, to know I can't hold you. It's just hard to think I'll never get the chance to say you're mine.But every time you hear this song, you'll know you've made a mark on my heart and my mind.
