#PitchPerfect

I was so excited to watch this movie everyone was talking about. It was out since last year september 2013; it was trending a few times. So when I was watching it my expectations was high, I knew that it was acapella. I did enjoy the acapella bits as it all enhanced their voices as you know it wasn't edited as much. Also it made me laugh, I loved how they put jokes in it.

However it was too cliche and boring at times as you knew what was going to happen next. I guess my expectations were high and I was looking for something different.

To conclude it its a movie to watch when you're bored or hanging around the house.

We All Know Beauty Comes From Within

Being a celebrity would be nice. I love all the make-up and the shoes; but I wouldn't change anything though. A lot of people comment on my skin color, but really I don't care I just don't like it and it bothers me. But if they didn't say anything I would be okay with my skin color I never really understand why Filipinos want to be whiter. When you're white it looks like you're dead. It doesn't look glowing. You can only get a glowing effect with tanned skin, with white skin you just look like a smooth piece of paper. Anyway that's my opinion. I'm sure everyone else has theirs. I know I put on make-up and before I didn't like it but I got enjoyment out of it. I find it fun to put on make-up to try different brands. It's so much fun. The best thing about going out is getting ready; it's the highlight. Trying on clothes, putting on make-up, picking shoes, playing with my hair. I love it!

I love music videos where its not all about what the singers are doing or its just them randomly singing in front of a blank wall; instead the video has a scene relating to the song. There's something going on while the singer is singing. These are the videos that really attract me and makes me want to watch it over and over again, it also helps me to understand what the song is about seeing as I am a visual learner. I don't listen to the lyrics I have to see it written down or I have to see the video acting it out for me to understand.

My Fast Paced Lazy Day

 (10am) Woke up, thinking it was 4am in the morning. The beauty of sleeping with black blinds and aircon on all night.
(11am) After an hour of having breakfast and deciding what to buy if we go out we took a trycycle to the mall. Bought a new pair of shoes after withdrawing money...I have never walked out of a store smiling like I had just won the lottery. I bought the most amazing pair of wedges I can not wait to wear them!
(2am) Made our way home, so quickly. Probably because there was no traffic
(around 3am) Sadly had to watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose, at the same time taking notes. Sadly I have to write a paper for it. I have no idea why the proffessor did'nt pick a movie like White Chicks or something.
(around 4am) Added more to my paper
(6pm) Had dinner. Had oreo truffe, black forest cake, chicken adobo and fish fillet.

(7pm) Continued with my paper...
(9pm) Decided to have my wash and came back to my paper but was so lazy I decided to just listen to music...

Mainstream Music Not Always the Best

So lately I've been looking for some good music to listen too, seeing as I've been so busy, tired and lonely. It hasn't been the greatest time of my life lately. Anyways I've been looking for some good music. But I look at the charts and it's all so upbeat and about sex, where did all the good music go? I don't know much about music and I don't always listen to the lyrics but listening to the same kind of music over and over again gets tiring. I want something that can reach out to my heart, make me think, relax and calm and better yet put me in a good mood.

So I remember Jason Chen, he's not so famous. You would'nt see his music videos on mtv or even myx I don't think. But he has such a great voice? It's like listening to an angel sings, I love it! Not even that his songs have good lyrics and they really mean something. It's exactly what I'm after!

He has many covers from Justin Bieber to Rianna to Adele. He really hits it! To me its the best! Why isn't he famous. But anyway It's better this way that he's all over youtube than mtv. I remember
Enrique Gil his songs were all love sodngs before but there came a point where it didnt't sell very well, so he disappeared and then came back. However when he came back he had to change his style of music so that he could sell more albums again. Enrique Gil's songs were perfect! I grew up listening to his songs but then it shocked me when he suddenly came back and his songs sounded like all the other songs. It didn't sound like him, but I still do like his songs. Sometimes when you become to mainstream you have to change to keep the audience interersted. Jason Chen already makes good songs I hope he just continues it.

Five day off, Five day work day

Watching movies, doing nothing, facebook, twitte, tumblr...thats my kind of day. A five day holiday and it probably won't seem like one; it's never a holiday if you have work to do. No matter what you do or where you go you will always have in your mind 'Oh! I have a paper to write' or 'I have to study.' Well, I have a maths assignment and a paper to write. It's due in a weeks time so I still have loads of time. It's a paper on the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Seriously though? Why did the teacher pick that movie out of all the movies in the world, I would have preferred a movie that's not in English than a horror movie. Thank goodness I've made a start, though I do have 48 more quotes to go.

Good Luck to me! :D

Second Time Around

Second time around
Lets go round in circles
Lets keep on going
Even if your brain
Goes round and round
Even if it hurts
But this is it
The only way is forward

Second time around
Lets take those lessons
Lets use them
Even if your brain
Goes round and round
But there's no way out
The only way is forward

Twitter rant

I've seen blogs that have more pictures than words. I know how people feel while reading long long paragraphs about stuff that might not interest them. my blog's purpose is just an online diary to readers out there. I get annoyed with many people who tweet every second, every minute, every hour of the day. Tweets like I did that I did this, I just woke up, I just got home, I'm getting ready for school. Seriously? For me it only feels okay when a celebrity does it because we all want to know what they are up to; but even celebs don't do this. Partly because they are so busy. So I don't know some people destroy the use of twitter and use it to kill their boredom. Well, its up to them... there is an unfollow button so why am I stressing out?

Nothing really, I just want to share my opinion. For me instead of using twitter while they're bored they might as well start up their won blog. 

To Sleep or Not to Sleep

I want to sleep but right now I really don't want to waste my time. There's so many things I want to do that i feel like sleeping wastes time. But it's okay I can manage. I'll just listen to music and relax, relaxing can be part of my sleep if you get what I mean.

Sound Trip

What a long week...

Monday

• Class from 11 to 3 (regular classes for MWF)\
• Studied for exam

Tuesday 

• Exam for PGC (Philippines Constitutonal Government)

Went good and I was confident enough so I can say I just about passed it

Wednesday

• Logic     
• Maths  

(8:30 to 11)

Why did they put these two exams together? It's a good thing I studied for logic a few days before so I just had to recap. I've never studied for maths before because I didn't know how to and I was lazy. I tried my best to study. I wanted to study until late nigh so that I could sleep late and wouldn't have to wake up early. It didn't work out. Though I did wake up again after 1 hour of lying in bed because I was so nervous! I woke up early in the morning and quickly practiced long synthetic division and I got it straight away I was so pleased! 

Logic well that went well I was pretty pleased with that too! I was pleased that it was true or false but I was confused when it asked if n.17 is true and n.18 false then n.19 is true...I was like whaaaaaaaaaat?! That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Thursday

• CWG (Contemporary World Geography)
• English

(8:30 to 11)

The worse day ever! I set my alarm for 4am to study for CWG because I really couldn't study anymore, I was so tired and nothing was going in my head. I woke up at 7:30! I couldn't believe it! I was staring at my watch I didn't understand what had happened. I wanted to cry! I didn't know anything in the exam, I couldn't   answer any of the questions, I just guessed the half and skipped the rest. Well good luck to that exam!

English....well that was the longest exam ever! It was 19 pages long, which was super shocking!! I managed to answer the questions I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty good but confusing all at the same time. 

Friday

• No exams

I have a mental block right now I think I did try to study I started thursday night so friday it was just the other lectures and a recap that I had to do. But I probably wasted my day as usual talking to people, sleeping, eating. That day went by so quickly and I was annoyed and sad how everyone had finished their exams and were celebrating already. I also had to practice for social dance which was a disaster and a waste of time. My partner wasn't there so it was pointless. It was hard to participate. I didn't get anything done, I was laughed at because I kept on making mistakes.

Saturday

• Journalism Exam
• Journalism Quiz
• Philippine Literature exam

(10 to 2)

I was so pleased with the journalism exam I believe that I did well. the quiz however is a no no. I should have never had a break and tried to study, I think this caused me to have a mental block. I was upset in a way because I remember studying the questions, because they all seemed familiar but it just wouldn't pop into my head. But at least I know that I studied enough for it. Oh well! 

Literature was easy as usual. No essays which was awesome! But I missed out two questions because nothing would come to mind. Altogether I didn't really need to study for it, it seemed like more common sense than anything else. 

    

Well altogether it was a week with lack of sleep, so much studying, so much stuff going on. I'm used to sleeping loads, watching tv all day, reading, eating, not worrying about tomorrow. It hurts my head and brain. I'm really going crazy!! But I'm so happy to be home even though it's just one night and one days rest. I will make the most of it. So it's all good for now. I'm going strong. I'm still here. 

The happiness of guys

So yesterday I went into a computer shop to print out some reviewers. It's always awkward walking into a computer shop; its full of guys addicted to Dota. Guys who seem to enjoy playing Dota. I heard that here in the Philippines some girls actually make their boyfriends pick between Dota and the girl. That's crazy! What is so good about Dota? It makes me wonder and it makes me want to play it. Back in England it was COD (Call of Duty). I remember back in England this is where guys would gossip, spend their whole nights playing. COD is the game where a guy would cry if they someone was to break their xbox (just rumours). But I wonder why guys like to play video games, I wonder why they are so addicted to it. I have tried playing COD before. During my summer off my cousin taught me to play it and even created an account for me. It was okay, it took away the time that I was doing nothing and was so bored. So it was just, okay. It was extremely violent for my liking, like the part where you could chose to play it or not play it; I chose to play it because I didn't know what to expect. I didn't realize you had to shoot innocent citizens; men, women, babies, children and old people. Every civilian that you would see. Which made me finally realize how violent it was. Dota doesn't seem to be violent seeing as it's all just random creatures actually that's what I see. I've never tried playing it before. But guys here seem to enjoy it so much they play it in the computer shops rather than at home where its free.

Soaring High

And she's here
And she's there
Flying, floating, waiting
If only that one guy knew
If only he could see
She doesn't sleep
You contaminate her
Without her knowing
Just one touch
Just one kiss
That's enough to send her

Soaring high...

Something new?

So it's started...
So I started school yesterday. It was supposed to be a brand new year a new beginning? I never felt that! Even until now I still don't feel it. After starting school yesterday expecting the proffs to not come in I was surprised to see the majority of them present. But it wasn't a heavy load of stuff, just them mentioning the pre-lims. I still think pre-lims should have been before the Christmas hols. Nothing has changed so far, I'm still me. Nothing has changed well it has been a week what do I expect. I'm not looking forward to anything or expecting anything. I just want to have a shock to whatever happens. Expecting things leads to disappointment, I don't want to be disappointed right now.

New Years Resolutions

• My new years resolution was to speak tagalog but that failed. That hasn't got anywhere, I actually feel more comfortable speaking in english here in the Philippines. It seems to be improving. 
• Another one which I really have to achieve is my grades! I really don't want to have another summer! I really want a break, I want to hang with friends, laze about all day. I miss not having to worry about anything; where you could do anything and not worry about tomorrow! 
• Love life maybe? Hahaha that's not a new years resolution, I just hope and wish secretly this year that I will have someone I can text and talk to all night...

So I guess lets wait...that's all we can do now is wait for whatever comes along this 2013! 

End of 2012

So I'm back from the busiest but most memorable christmas holiday. I spend two weeks going out, family bonding and just having the time of my life. However I ended up sick, but who cares! There's always bad after good. We went from Bicol to Tagaytay to Pangasinan to late night horror movies. It was the best, I have a shock returning back to school. i'm too lazy to do anything! I can't study, I'm so lazy and everything still feels like a blur. I'm still tired and semi-ill; a blocked nose that's stopping me from breathing.
