Sad day in the world of Rock. STP front man, Scott Weiland found dead in his sleep.
When I was in high school, I used to record songs to a cassette from a radio station - NU107, trying to catch a song that was stuck in my head (that's how it worked before the internet, mp3s and iPods). Some of the songs on that tape was "Interstate Love Song". I clearly remember thinking how I got stuck in one genre and that's how I discovered "my music" on my own. That was also the year my mother gave me Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies EP (well, I asked her to buy me the album when we were at the music store), and the same year Kurt Cobain died. Yup, that was 21 years ago.
RIP, Scott Weiland. This breaks my teenage rock/grunge heart. 💔
I am one of the many who always gets excited during the half time show. This year, it's Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
My reaction when the halftime show started.
Check out the halftime show performance. Enjoy!
I love it! I wish I could see Red Hot Chili Peppers perform live. They are coming to Clark, Pampanga on February 22, 2014 for the International Music Festival.
When I learned in December that they are performing in Clark, I started saving up (cause you know, the ticket is expensive) and wanted to go even if I am alone. But I don't think I can be there, since I've extended my vacay here in Iloilo. So I'd rather spend my savings for the upcoming summer vacay. :D
Another ear candy. As always, P!nk is amazing + Nate (of Fun.) doing this with her makes this song outstanding. Enjoy! ♥
Right from the start You were a thief You stole my heart And I your willing victim I let you see the parts of me That weren't all that pretty And with every touch you fixed them Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh Things you never say to me oh oh Tell me that you've had enough Of our love, our love Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts We're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I'm sorry I don't understand Where all of this is coming from I thought that we were fine (Oh we had everything) Your head is running wild again My dear we still have everythin' And it's all in your mind (Yeah but this is happenin') You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh You used to lie so close to me oh oh There's nothing more than empty sheets Between our love, our love Oh our love, our love Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I never stopped You're still written in the scars on my heart You're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again Oh tear ducts and rust I'll fix it for us We're collecting dust But our love's enough You're holding it in You're pouring a drink No nothing is as bad as it seems We'll come clean Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again Oh, we can learn to love again Oh, we can learn to love again Oh oh, that we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again
Valentine's Day is in 3 days. Do you plan to go on a date with your special someone? I bet you would. Whatever your plan is, I'm sure it's going to be awesome and memorable.
As for me, I am not sure what we're going to do on the 14th. But maybe we're going out for dinner. Or just do it on the 15th or on the weekend, just to avoid "lovers' traffic" in restaurants. :)
Countdown to Valentine's Day with this feel-good music. Enjoy! :)
I'm supposed to continue processing some death claims/benefits today and do side trip errands when I still can--but I woke up late, so I've decided to just do it next week.
While I was still in bed this morning, I listened to my iPod and the first song played was Green Day - Working Class Hero - a cover of John Lennon's original. Green Day's contribution to cover the song is just awesome. I love it.
Of course, Lennon's original is epic. There are a lot of artists who covered the song, to name a few: Blind Melon, Ozzy Osbourne, Manic Street Preachers and Cyndi Lauper.
The song is one of the best John Lennon songs that most of us can relate- simple yet amazing, just like "Imagine".
Aren't we all a "working class hero" of some sort? :)
P!nk is back! And in a good way on "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)". Billboard is talking about P!nk's single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)", stating it's "classic P!nk, complete with a swear-jar-worthy chorus and an abrupt key change that only a singer like her could pull off". :)
White knuckles and sweaty palms from hanging on too tight Clenched shut jaw, I've got another headache again tonight Eyes on fire, eyes on fire, and they burn from all the tears I've been crying, I've been crying, I've been dying over you Tie a knot in the rope, tryna hold, tryna hold, But there's nothing to grab so I let go
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss) You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of shit My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a shit day (NO!) Have you had a shit day? (NO!), we've had a shit day (NO!) I think that life's too short for this, I want back my ignorance and bliss I think I've had enough of this, blow me one last kiss.
I won't miss all of the fighting that we always did, Take it in, I mean what I say when I say there is nothing left No more sick, whiskey dick, no more battles for me You'll be calling a trick, 'cause you'll no longer sleep I'll dress nice, I'll look good, I'll go dancing alone I will laugh, I'll get drunk, I'll take somebody home
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss) You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of shit My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a shit day (No!) Have you had a shit day? (No!), we've had a shit day (No!) I think that life's too short for this, I want back my ignorance and bliss I think I've had enough of this, blow me one last kiss.
Blow me one last kiss Blow me one last kiss
I will do what I please, anything that I want I will breathe, I will breathe, I won't worry at all You will pay for your sins, you'll be sorry my dear All the lies, all the why's, will all be crystal clear
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss) You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of shit My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)

Blow me one last kiss Blow me one last kiss

I came to think that life seems to go better when you just let it happen.. 'cause when you try to keep control of most things in your life, life is still out of your control. and the more that you let it go and just float along, the happier you will be. Oh, life! :)
It's 12:05 am and i still couldn't sleep. My body aches and I couldn't position my body well in bed.
Well anyway, it's another time of the year that I don't have a date for this special day hehehe. It makes me miss my boyfriend more, and I miss going out on a date with him. Anyway, hope everyone will be having a great Valentine!
I am a bit sentimental today and I want to show you a video that I really like.
I believe many of you have already seen this video, but I'm gonna share it anyway. For me, it has a very profound message that everyone should consider everyday. :)
My friend Elstin chatted with me through YM and commented that my profile picture is kind of "emote", which is not. the picture was candidly taken last January, Dinagyang 2009.
Then he sent me a file... I thought he was sending me one of his works, but an old yet a sweet track from Ben Folds Five - Evaporated. He thought my picture is perfect for the song. Eh? I don't think so. Silly. I just want to share the song, I am having a hard time uploading the song to imeem, don't know what seems to be the problem. Anyhow, I have uploaded it somewhere else. So, here it is:
Since I don't have the time to download some songs, he is sending me tracks from the 90s alternative rock bands. Currently, Toad The Wet Sprocket. Aahhh nostalgia, reminds me of NU 107. =D
I'm so saddened with the news that Rapper-TV Host Francis "Kiko" Magalona (has succumbed to leukemia) passed away today at 12 noon, at the age of 44. I'm really shocked, I even cried! He's one of my favorite musicians in the local music scene and I grew up listening to his music.
He's a great influence of Patriotism. He also made every Filipino proud to be Pinoy.
Francis M. - Represent! Three Stars and a Sun!
Here's one of his songs I like - Kaleidoscope World.
"Every color and every hue Is represented by me and you Take a slide in the slope Take a look in the kaleidoscope Spinnin' round, make it twirl In this kaleidoscope world."
His work and music is so inspirational to many. He will always be in my heart. R.I.P Francis M.
I hate budgeting and worry about it. I have never been frivolous. But this is dumb, i mostly hate paying for food, because it is so temporary. Hahaha. or maybe because I am on diet, that is why I am saying that.
I hate women who tries to take away my man from me. Women who have someone they like already, but still jealous of me for being the one who my bf loves and likes. I don't like these women and they don't like me. One of them has serious mental problems. We just ignore her because we don't want to deal and waste our precious time with psychotic possessive insecure bitches.
I hate being told what to do in my life, when I know what I want and know that I want better, and will have it too. Is it going to be hard? Maybe. But what do you care? This is my life.
I hate stupid women who disgrace their own sex, you traitor bitches, you don't know what respect is do you? How can you let men use you for you p**sy?
I love my life, but I hate others who try to take away my happiness. However, they flatter me when they attempted to do so, and never succeed.
For the first time in my life I have to deal with more than I can imagine, but I am not even scared. My life is amazing, whether you like it or not.
Uh-oh im starting to get philosophical, time to end it. But leave you with this song from Kanye West.
This is a very nice track, and the beat is insane. I love it. It's so mesmerizing. I think this song can relate to my post for today.
I was thinking..i don't know how to say this.. but you know how in musicals, people will randomly break into song and dance? Ok, this will sound funny hehhehe . Like ..you could be walking down the street and suddenly all the other street dwellers will start singing with you like everybody got together and rehearsed beforehand, but that can't be possible because you've never met these people in your life. I wish things like that would actually happen.
Sometimes when I'm walking through the street and feeling like the whole city is miserable, I'll imagine that people passing by me in the street are all singing and dancing in unison, especially if I pass by someone playing a guitar in the street or a group of teenagers with their drum boxes. I guess it would be cool if everybody forgot the hustle and bustle of their daily lives just for a few minutes and would cast their inhibitions aside and sing and dance with complete strangers just for the Hell of it. And it would be like.. hmm.. "Iloilo City Musical". Hahaha! But I'm sure that will never happen. Tee hee! :P
Ok.. so time for you to know a little bit more about myself and or my interests. I will just sort this out, because describing myself is a really broad subject.

My dad was even excited about it. It was last year when I have decided to get inked - that was before I met my now boyfriend, when I told him my plans, he got upset and never wanted me to have any part of my body stained. He calls it as “stain” though. But I still have the design with me.. i want to have wings. I want a white angel wings with shades of colors to add depth to the feathers. and i don’t want black for the outline or in the shading…I don’t know if that makes any sense to you. I want it on my back, like i really have wings. another option would be on my lower back. On my arm, I also want a cute Mizuno Junko style Geisha with cherry blossoms around her. And on the under side of my arm i want a Japanese style picture of a Geisha getting it on with a man. I know a few tattoo artists here in Iloilo, some of them are my friends.. I might get a lil bit of discount hehehe.
