playlist 4

Since I posted this on my other blog, might as well put it up here.

Some songs in heavy rotation on my iPod:

I especially love Love is Colder than Death here. I can imagine myself listening to it while riding a bike. I am loving The Virgins really, I can only wish I could catch their gigs in the city, they’re native New Yorkers but currently on tour though. Ida Maria’s song gets stuck in my head all the time, listen to it and you’d know why. You probably heard of the Black Kids because of their popular song, I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You, I love it too but I likeLove Me Already better. And of course, I always like some Amy Winehouse music and Lily Allen’s F**k You is just funny with the soft voice and all but some really bitter words.

I made you a mixtape! These are my favorite songs as of the moment.

I just had to put circles on the tape. Ha ha. I hope you like it.

*I realized I already included Silver Lining the last time. Oh well.

autumn playlist

Dropping temperature-fallen leaves-dark skies-shorter days-snow flurries-thick coats-scarves-gloves and chapped lips inspired song choices.

These are the days when I want more sleep under the sheets, some hot cocoa and someone to cuddle with on the side. I'm not sure with the order of the songs but I started with something catchy then put the really mellow ones by the end of the playlist, they're all mixed. Just listen. =)

• Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining
• John Mayer - Your Body is a Wonderland
• Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars
• Adele - Chasing Pavements
• Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am
• The Cardigans - Love Fool
• Glen Hasard - Leave
• Elliot Smith - Say Yes
• Cat Power - Sea of Love
• Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark

* I used YouTube videos since imeem streaming didn't really work the last time.

DJing in June

In the name of my dear friend Kathleen, I decided to come up with my own playlist of some songs I really love listening to. Be warned though that I didn't filter some songs so if they appear to be cheesy or crappy to your music taste, just pay a little respect. :)

Generally, I can be flexible with music genres. You can bring me to a rock concert and drag me to a hip hop club after. It's all a matter of moods and depending on the emotion I may feel, I'd happily download whatever song suits that moment. In the course of this playlist, you might notice I am a sucker of mellow tunes. But sorry, you can't do anything to that because I just love the songs' burning emotions.

So sit back, relax, grab some coffee while I play DJ for you a while.

I'm a Footer

Let's skip the ruminating part and settle for some music.



Hear it from one of my favorite bands. I admit I was smitten by their music after buying "A Walk to Remember" soundtrack back when I was a Frosh in High School, but I was really happy I discovered the band because they really know what music I really hold dear. They sing from the heart and when you listen to it, it's like you feel exactly the same. Sample music? Only Hope was originally sung by Switchfoot, and Mandy Moore only did a cover. They've been in the business since the late '90s and are still touring now. I can't believe I let September 2007 slip without me witnessing their concert in the Philippines. I had issues that time and I regret that I missed that event. Anyhow, let's dare everyone to move.

'90s

To be stuck in time, I'd pick the '90s era. Not because of its anti-fashion culture but because I was a kid then, free from any polluted idea and full of overwhelming innocence. 

HOT BOD for the summer! sorry, poor resolution. 

I loved being a kid. I wish any time traveling machine could bring me to that period in my life when I was just playing with my Sailormoon toys, Polly Pockets, Barbie dolls and kitchen sets. When I first entered school and immediately bonded with my wonderful classmates, sharing opinions on the very shallow thoughts on earth like what my favorite color is or "Who's your best friend?" conversations. Do you remember? By late '90s I began listening to Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync and was singing Tearin' Up My Heart in front of the TV and let's not forget Hanson's yummy MMMBop. (tick a ta ba do ba.. or something like that)

And yes, I loved TV as much as I do now. I watched All That, with segments of Goodburger and Dear Ashley as my favorites. Kenan & Kel was also a favorite and I clearly remember Kel's love for orange soda. Do you remember Summer Sanders? And the bunch of kids on Figure it Out and Global Guts? I remember we used to play Global Guts on Old School Nintendo and boy was I eager. Obviously, I lived and breathed Nick shows. But yea, I also became a fan of The Jetsons and The Flinstones (when they aired on Cartoon Network). The early times when I slept late were watching repeats of football head Hey Arnold and Aaaah! Real Monsters. 

I loved a lot of things then. The only thing I hated were mom jeans. 

But other than that, I love the '90s!

What else do you remember?

Fall Out Boy in Manila!

I have always expressed my state of boredom every time I write but it doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t have a life. In fact, I do. I really do! I know the huge portion of that life covers my academics but I am just entirely glad for yesterday's Friday night because it’s all about Fall Out Boy!

The band is currently (unless they already flew) in the Philippines enchanting their very huge fan base in the country. Imagine sold out tickets for two nights in Araneta. That’s a lot of money. Ha ha. I was one of them and I am just so happy I was there. It was actually unexpected cause I was thinking I could catch them someday in the States but my ultra-dearie-reliable-source-of-everything-cool Laine offered me a Patron ticket last Monday. Last Monday indeed, in the middle of Accounting reviews and Socio reports. Who am I to refuse? Opportunities like these shouldn’t be missed. FOB is FOB. No reasons needed at all.

The hitch? We have Accounting Long Test 6pm ‘til 9 and the concert’s at 8. Ha ha ha. You thought right. I rushed my exam and ran to Araneta after. Imagine me in SOM dress code while watching a rock concert. Funny. Good thing we only missed 2 or 3 songs.

Actually my mind is flying right now. I just loved the concert and everything to bits.

Pete Wentz is hot.

Their music is still ringing in my ears.

*I want to post the videos I got but due to poor connection, I can't.
