Life's Sick Lil' Games...

I was listening to Snow Patrol's Run...and I was somehow directed to Leona Lewis' rendition...of course, the style is so different, but I love her version as well...she has such a high range as a vocalist...

Leona is such a great singer...and I love the theme for Avatar, by the way...if you listen to it the first few times, it would sound quite weird because the song is kinda complicated...sometimes, when you hear a song, you know the direction...but with 'I See You', you wouldn't know it...the range is wide...the backups rather robotic...but Leona's part shines. I still like the song though!

And it doesn't hurt that she's a looker as well...my sis thinks she looks like a man (hahahaa), but I beg to differ...I think she's beautiful! Looks+voice=perfect product=success...

Okay...why am I writing about Leona Lewis at almost 4 in the morning?

Oh, and a friend recommended that I give a listen to Chet Baker's 'My Funny Valentine'...I love Sinatra and Bennet's versions of the song, and of course...such a classic song would mean dozens of cover versions...but Chet's version is great too...so breezy, almost in a soft whisper...thanks for the recommendation!

Whatever it is...my night was full of listening to music and nothing else...hahahah! Day and night...a paradox to the highest degree!

Oh, and by the way...Bill Kaulitz is looking thinner and more eccentric by the day, it's kinda worrying...and please don't go cuckoo on us...please! He joined a fashion show recently looking very skinny, looking like a woman...I kid you not! I mean, I get the androgyny-chic fashion sense, but c'mon...there is such a thing as being OTT...even David Bowie wasn't THAT feminine...

"Here comes Speed Racer...he's a demon on wheels..."

I so want to have the ability to do anything with lightning speed...damn! I don't know, it seems like I have little to do...and yet, there's a lot to do...ahahahah!!! Think i'm going blur...

My sister's (the middle child) resolution for 2010 is to live a healthy life...as inspired as I am, i'm realistic enough to realize that I can't...as much as I want to...there's no kitchen to cook my own food and eat healthy here in campus...the food they serve here is loaded with fat, oil, coconut milk, etc...but yeah...even more so, is when i'm here, I tend to eat ramen noodles, bread, and junk!!! Coffee is a staple I will never ever give up...so much so that I bought one of those vacuum-tumblers just so I can bring my coffee along when I don't have enough time to drink in the morning...LMAO!

And I bought one for my sis too, but shit...we bought the smallest size, which isn't enough for a "Tall" at Starbucks...fuck!!! We only realized this when it was too late, and we can't return it!!! Fuck...that was a funny incident though...hey, at least I get to pack my morning coffee! (I'm trying to comfort myself by repeating this statement everyday...)

Oh, did you know that there's another size in Starbucks called "Short", an 8 oz cup...it's smaller than the smallest on the menu, aka the "Tall" which is 12 oz...betcha didn't know, huh? It's a known secret among the chosen ones...lol! It's only a few cents less, so you might as well get the Tall, right? And it's only available for the hot drinks...uhhhh, why am I talking about this crap? Geez...

Oh yeah...watched Avatar last week...loved it! Wanna watch it again, but in 3D this time...but yeah...some friends do not like to spend more on some dumb glasses, so I guess...go figure! :'( Oh, and Sam Worthington is hot!!! Why the hell are the guys from Oz damn hot??? Hugh Jackman, Adam Garcia, Heath (RIP), Eric Bana...and now Sam!!! Damn, if only that damn accent wouldn't get to me...sorry, I find it annoying...maybe it's those "McLeod's Daughters" commercials on Hallmark...oh, and Kylie Kwong that Australian chef...damn, she annoys the hell outta me when she talks...*shudders* So ok, maybe it's not Ozzie's per se...maybe it's the individual...hahahaha!

Muse is gonna perform in Singapore and I wanna go!!! Ahhhhhh!!! I can't coz of the $$$ factor and of course, my thesis awaits...I saw my supervisor today, and luckily, I was given a more elaborate explanation as to wtf I should do...

Yes, i need to...no, i HAVE to interview officials from the various agencies under a certain ministry...damn! I would have to do around 5 chapters...and maybe tweak my conceptual framework...yes, it's more International and Political Economy rather than political dynamics of nations and policies...which I prefer. Now I have to get a letter from the uni just to get an interview...and all that shit! Arrrrgghhhh!!!

...but man, I'm pretty freaked out! LOL! Can I vent a little bit...like: FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!

Okay, okay...breathe!!!

Ok, done!

And it's just ten days away from that so-called concert...I don't know what the hell i'm supposed to do since Boss hasn't told me anything...don't even know if i'll get any money...I have to use a new number by the telco sponsoring the concert, but i'm not gonna use it...unless it benefits me.

Just look at this post...damn it's so messed-up...i'm not even making sense...just jumbling up any thoughts that come into my head...hahahah! Okay...maybe i've had too many cups of you-know-what!

Listening to: Walking On Air by Kerli...it's an awesome song!!! Kerli is Estonian, and she's so eccentric...sounds a bit like Bjork, and dresses like she's the female version of Bill Kaulitz...they should be together!!!

UPDATE: Kerli and Tokio Hotel will be collaboration on a single for the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack...OMFG! Hahahahahah...hope to hear their single soon! And yes, Kerli does look like an Alice...Tim Burton is such a genius! Love his work, especially when it involves Johnny Depp (yummo!) and his wife Helena Bonham-Carter...

Okay...done yapping! Maybe i'll write more later at night since my head is super-charged!!! Feel like a million bucks and i'm typing like the Energizer Bunny woot!!!

Toodlez, bitches!

You know how i said i screwed a few papers in my exams? I don't know what the fuck goes into deciding my fateful marks, but I didn't fail!!! OMG...thank goodness! As usual...got the average results. Lol, i was never an above-average student...but i am an above-average person, hahaha!!! Ok, i'm so full of it...just laugh it off!

Yes, the results ain't so good, but it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be...and if it wasn't for acing French (yet, once again...my saving grace!) I would've gotten a less than mediocre GPA.

But after writing my list of things i was thankful for (SEE: previous post)...i realized: I am soooo much more than this...I am not my GPA! Who fuckin' cares??? It's only a grain in my whole self-concept and self-worth! It doesn't make me who or what I am...so tiny and insignificant! I'm sure any employer would hire someone who would do a great job rather than attain above-average grades...yeah, they told me so!

I would be bullshitting if i said I didn't care...of course i do! But i have more things to care about...like LIFE! Like doing the things i wanna do, and living the life i wanna live! So to hell with this shit, i'm gonna do better for my final term. And hell yeah...i'm giving out a killer thesis!

And i'll be in France with my friends by May...woot! Sipping coffee in a quaint little cafe, overlooking le Tour Eiffel...maybe bumping into Bill Kaulitz and le gang! Well, universe...do your job...please please with a cherry on top! Ktxb!

Just when you think Bill Kaulitz' lyric-writing skills couldn't get any better...i find another song from the new album...probably the last out of Humanoid's Deluxe Edition called Phantomrider aka Geisterfahrer in German...the difference? He wrote the original in German, of course...and the German version has a girl singing an excerpt of his "love" answering him from the other side...damn! Of course, it sounds better in the language in which it was written, right? The English version is just for us English-speakers to comprehend and etc...

You see, a geisterfahrer...according to German lore is someone who is on a drunken rampage and/or suicide rampage on an autobahn (highway) in Germany...it's basically speeding on the wrong side of the highway, either coz you wanna die, or you just want some thrill...whatever it is...TH's version seems to be on a suicidal note, where he is giving up coz he wants to meet his love on the other side...the thing is, we don't know whether the "love" is known to him, or maybe it's just some dream he's pursuing...whatever it is, it's scary the way he chases it, kinda optimistic AND pessimistic at the same time...

Yes, i AM sooooo free to analyse songs...isn't it what i do best? Heheheeh...remember Three Days' Grace and Third Eye Blind, and NIN...yes...guess i kinda like dark, gloomy songs...doesn't misery love company?

Now don't get me wrong...i DO love the fast-tempo songs like Wo Sind Eure Hande or Wir Sterben Niemals Aus --> great to hear it live and acoustic respectively...if only! :( or Hey You...or etc! It's just, why would you analyse the happy songs, right? It's just that...a WYSIWYG kinda thing! You get it! But i think if i should be so lucky as to ask the band some stuff, it would definitely be on the lyrical and musical side, rather than their favorite color or their sexual orientation...which is kinda rude! So what if he's gay or not? His music still rocks, and that's what matters in the end...but isn't it weird that like their German stuff a little bit more than their English ones? Hahaha...i love both versions, but yeah...Deutsch seems more them...duhhh! Meh, whatever...

By the way, haven't been well this past 2 days due to food poisoning...just thinking about it makes me mad! Arrrrggghhhh hate it, hate it, hate it!!! Why is it that I get sick every November? Remember last year? It was either November or December...arrrhhh!!! But yeah, last year was worse...couldn't forget he mere "uggghhhhh.." feeling...okok, i'll stop now!

In this world, not everyone will like you. Seems like a 'duhh!' statement, but just wanted to make it clear...i used to think "So what...I've got better things to do...", but my mom keeps this mantra which I find pretty non-Zen, but more realistic...it goes like this,

"If you don't like me...I don't like you MORE!"

Well, i have always been a person who likes to appease...to not hold it against a person who treats you badly. But for some reason, me thinking this way just isn't cut out for the real world. I feel like a schmuck if i let another person treat me like a piece of crap, and hey...turning the other cheek is something Jesus could do, but heck...I'm no Jesus!

So there...i know that i will and can't please everyone in this world...and of course, i may not be the best person in the world, but i'll tell you this...NO ONE IS A SAINT! Everyone has their faults, and i surely am one of them!

What is this about actually? Well, let's just say that some people really are mean...yes, another "Duhh!" statement, which I shall not get into in detail...just because I look like i have a hard exterior, it doesn't mean i'm immune to any sort of feelings...what the hell do some people know, that they can isolate you or a clique? I think that if I don't bother you, then why the fuck should you bother minding me (or my friends) anyway?

All i wanna do now is listen to my Tokio Hotel...their music, though some may call them lame, their music speaks to me in loads of ways...the vocalist's voice would seem kinda nasally, but it kinda works...the lyrics, the rhythm...it all works for me, so relevant to what i, as a young individual am going through. It gives me some sort of solace coz it's full of hope. Yes, i'm a dweeb by the way! Lol...Moral is, I love their songs coz i can relate! Therefore, ich liebe Tokio Hotel!

I couldn't find the tabs for 1000 Meere (1000 Oceans in English), so i wrote my own, albeit in a higher key...it works. Still slow in transitioning, but faster compared to previous attempts. Kinda find solace when i play now. Wish i had one for my own, and i will get it when i get some monay!

Oh yeah, my former boss is hiring an ad hoc team coz he's bringing in this major Filipino superstar to do a concert here. I'll be his "wingman" (LOL!), together with my sis. Hope i could meet great new people, and maybe widen my network, since i'll be graduating soon...God i hope this works!

Hmmm, i dunno. Maybe i'm going nuts or something...maybe i'm PMS-ing, but there you have it...the story may seem stupid, but yes...i'm feeling like i'm in a whole different galaxy because of some people who are fucking retards! I just thank God, that with the bad, there's good to balance it. Thank God for good people!

So there you have it...another emo post! -___-

And God...thank you for everything i have! I thank you coz i never take anything i have for granted...

Well you know sometimes when a singer of a band has a gimmicky or rather 'out there' kinda look, it turns a person off...but after I put those kinds of things aside, i kinda like the band...who? what?

It's Tokio Hotel...your average German-rockers-turned-international sensation! Okok, i must admit it, Bill and Tom Kaulitz; the twins made me fascinated...and the initial song that brought me in was some song i saw in a video montage during a recent concert i attended...it was 'Automatic'...or 'Automatisch' in German...sound better in English, ahahaha!

As usual...my curiosity hit me, so i YouTubed the song and i heard the whole thing...so ok, i liked it! Then, i saw few related videos on the band and discovered they were soooo freakin' German! LOL, they can't even speak English without sounding like some German character out of The Simpsons...but yeah, i like their songs. The German ones, the English ones...both!

TH sounds like the LostProphets, with some Rammstein flavor (but of course, just the German factor...Rammstein is waaaaaaay too legendary to be compared to TH!)

Maybe it's a phase, but I like them and that's that...and even if Bill looks like a hot girl, it doesn't steer away from the concept of good music. I wouldn't say it's fantastic, but it certainly got my attention...



Hey, maybe gimmics DO work...if he dressed like your average Joe, i wouldn't have discovered them anyway! So here's to you...Tokio Hotel! Ich liebe dich...hahahahah!

Okok, I know they're an 'old' band...but it wouldn't hurt to gain a new fan, right? Below are the twins; Tom and Bill Kaulitz...by the looks of the videos on them, Tom is more guy-like, while Bill is ultra feminine in the way he talks and acts...funny, huh? Bill is so pretty!



TH, my new obsession...please come to Malaysia soon!
