For the past 48 hours I’ve been downloading some songs by indie bands - I think I’ve reached about 50 now . Weirdly enough for someone who sings, I’m not really into music. So in these rare bouts of musical indulgence, I take my choices in music very seriously. I make an effort to research on good songs by indie/alternative band, usually by checking out the soundtracks and incidental background songs of my favorite shows (like Veronica Mars and The O.C.) and stalking the Music pages of my Multiply friends for songs and bands they recommend. My latest loves are Pinback, Artic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, OK Go and The Perishers (okay, so maybe they’ve all been around for a while, but I only started listening to them lately. Haha).
Guess how bored I am? I’m actually tempted to study for Bio. Haha. It’s a personal rule of mine to ignore schoolwork til after Christmas. Haha. At least I have new songs to listen to to keep my brain from atrophying.

hindi mo lang alam
naiisip kita
baka sakali nga maisip mo ako
“Oo” by Up Dharma Down is one of my favorite songs. It’s like the generic love song of every love story. It never gets old. It just fits every damn time. Haha.
kahit tayo’y mgkaibigan lang
bumabalik lahat sa tuwing nakukulitan
I watched Up Dharma Down perform last night with some friends. I scared myself by singing along through the entire song - who knew I knew all the words? - with feelings. Of course, they caught it all on video.
baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
ako’y nandito lang hindi mo lang alam
matalino ka naman.
Haha. It never gets old.

In the words of my favorite band, Death Cab for Cutie, I shouldn’t think what I’m feeling. But I can’t help myself! This is me desperate for a distraction. I’m so tired of thinking about the same damn thing over and over again. The last sem really did a number on me, huh? It stuck around through sem break, and I still can’t seem to shake it off even now that the new sem is here. I feel so drained. Crying and alcohol don’t help anymore, whether by themselves or combined. And neither does snuggling under my sheets and listening to Death Cab all night. Because I feel like Ben Gibbard is singing my exact thoughts in prolific prose. I can’t stand it.
Emo at it’s finest. Shoot me down, someone. Or give me back the old me.

Okay, I am aware that I owe you all a lot of stories and a couple of pictures, but I just can’t bring myself to blog when I know I should be doing something else (read: studying). I tend to take my time when I blog about events and stuff, and I just don’t have that time right now. But I will blog about the Taste Asia event and upload pictures tomorrow, among other things. Sorry, too, if I haven’t been visiting your blog. I will do all that tomorrow, promise. This is just a quick update to let you all know that I am capable of blogging more than once a week.

For some reason, I started listening to Canon in D Major and Air on G String on YouTube. These two are very common Baroque pieces. I’m sure you’ve heard both of these compositions before, even if you don’t know what they’re called.
I hate the rain. It rained pretty hard today. But it felt so calm and relaxed while the music was playing. Who knew rainy afternoons and classical music make a good combination?
Nothing beats Baroque music. I love classical music. Ha ha, just wanted to share.
Ensemble Planeta and Vienna Boys’ Choir made excellent choral arrangements of Air on the G String.
This Voxer uploaded a really nice rendition of Canon in D Major for the piano. There’s also this really cool electric guitar version.
