i finally have enough songs for a playlist entry.

i'm in a confined daze until the end of the A levels.

meanwhile, struggling to find good songs that reach through the apathy.

Jason "why is his voice so nasal, and god why did he have to ruin a perfectly fine song before, ah but this is a nice track anyway" Derulo - Ridin' Solo



Sky "wait, isn't this Owl City? No, it's Adam Young's new project which sounds exactly like it with acoustics instead of electronics" Sailing - Brielle



Robyn "What's a KE$HA?" - Hang With Me



Sean "OMG i can't stand this song it's in my head okay i need to ear-exorcise it" Kingston - Replay



Washed "Master of Chill" Out - Holdout



there's this song that i listened to last last night or last night, that vividly reminded me of this unspoken memory of being in an European train station at dusk with everyone going home from the trains wrapped up and there were students and snow was outside and the cold weather drifted in, and there was a small roadside shop that was warmly lit selling warm things. i need to find that song again.

i say Justin Bieber, you say

The Script's "Talk You Down". reminds me of Paris. perhaps the memory was connected. "Breakeven" reminds me of the snowy surroundings of the mountains of Switzerland, and the cold. i love music which brings you to new places.

N.E.R.D - Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom)



this is terrifying but i love it at the same time.


what makes you a brave soul is how you're not involved in it directly.

what makes you a good friend is how you take the plunge and how long you hold your breath for.

if only saying things could make them happen.

or not, it's such a dangerous thing. then again, sometimes it does happen.

this is me, bored and tired of life for the moment.




on a side note, at least Butter Factory's more exciting, at least to us.

Happiness
hit her

bullet in the head
today i checked online about the symptoms of bipolar disorder, commonly known as manic depressiveness. i was relieved to find out that i wasn't THAT bad.

okay. my stress relief.

In a city sky rise all the time
You pushed me to the top floor so we could see the sights



You and me in the photobooth
giving it the notch, posing like we're this year's models.


You wanna shake it right down.
You wanna leave me somehow,
a black-and-white negative.
You wanna shake it right.

I push out
I breathe in
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again

One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise
I'm on it
I'll find you that French boy,
You'll find me that French girl
I promise
I'm on it

And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us


WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hello world.

i have a gem, unadorned and untarnished.

Afrofuture pop, combining textures like you've never heard before. closest thing that comes to mind for me is Gnarls Barkley, but then with Robyn and Rihanna and Beyonce smoothed into it! and Christina Aguilera, if you look at the album concept. oh my gossshhhhhh.

Janelle Monae - Cold War



i listened to a couple of songs from her...this is by far the best one.
i want to run away, away from all of this environment.

sometimes i just feel like saying, "okay, just give me something i enjoy doing and that pays well, and let me live it for awhile until i get tired of it and stop and go back to being a student and continuing on this horrible uncertain journey."
omfg.

11 August - Delphic at Zouk!

26 October - Vampire Weekend at Esplanade Concert Hall!

WTF!!!!

Brenda:
"Future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today."

i just feel like typing. so i'll do it.

i'll tell you more about myself.

i've been heavily involved with comfort music these couple of weeks. namely Camera Obscura. and i admit that the Bjork CD i've opened is fucking fantastic, but i just can't bring myself to listen to the entire album at one go, maybe because it's just so cold. just like Stina Nordenstam.

i've also been wondering what music will bring into my life. i need something tangible to come out of it, hopefully soon. i don't want to be wasting my time.

well the Sartorialist is amazing, it's brought vision and style into my life like never before. something personal yet professional, it's incredible what blogs can do if you take them apart and do things with them.

i think the reason why...ah nevermind. i think about things that people don't usually think about. that's why maybe i don't connect with them? i don't know whether i condescend to them or not though.

well. i love the blue quote. Brenda's fantastic, but she scares me sometimes. i most probably wouldn't be caught hanging around a person like her.

i'm listening to Gregory Lemarchal now. see what i've been talking about, there's something comforting too about listening to a pure clear voice, even if the inability to understand the lyrics irks you sometimes.

i am withholding myself to touch or look at my h3 essay. perhaps this (excuse?) is the break that's required before i really start editing it.
start and end. the process in the middle is daunting. endings are sad anyway.

i am strong.
i have a way to go before i'm impeccably dressed.

and what the fuck, right? i mean, can't i blog about my daily life like normal people, instead of going on about weird shit that doesn't really have much to do with my life directly? why can't i?

oh, and i just had to, okay? no judging.




Con te partiro...
